The trustees of Flourishing Families Leeds have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when overseeing all of the activities of the charity.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
We believe that every family deserves to flourish and are therefore dedicated to bringing down the barriers which will hinder flourishing. Our vision is to see children growing in confidence and fulfilling their potential, parents well supported and whole families equipped to connect well with each other and the community. We are passionate about helping children and families overcome challenges, painting a brighter horizon for their futures together. We work in areas of the city ranked amongst the most deprived 1% to 5% nationally, partnering with local primary schools, Social Care and other organisations who help us focus on supporting children most at risk from deprivation, inter-generational poverty and social isolation. We ensure that all our beneficiaries play an active part in decision-making and shaping activities so that programmes are things that we do together rather than events that are organised ‘for them’. We believe that this approach is an integral part of children and adults growing in confidence and self-esteem.
Our programmes include:
- Inside Out Groups which to change the lives of children debilitated by low levels of wellbeing by providing a safe space to develop social and emotional learning, build resilience, grow in confidence and grow positive relationships.
- Family Cookery Clubs which transform the diets of families and overcome poor nutrition, food insecurity and poor health,
- Story Tellers Clubs which take on the challenge of low literacy levels in families,
- Stay and Play and Everyday Play Groups which empower parents to bridge the gap in school readiness faced by preschool children growing up in deprivation,
- Community Events which counter the destructive effects of social isolation experienced by those living in poverty.
We coordinate all the above activities into a holistic approach that tackles these root issues, which can be tailored to the challenges faced by individual children and families.

**during the year**|**Introduction**
Louisa and her daughter Tilly live on their own in one of the poorest
areas of Leeds. They came to our Family Cookery Club because they
both felt so lonely. Their meals were mainly frozen or packaged, Louisa
rarely cooked at home and cooking together didn’t happen. Louisa didn’t
feel confident in the kitchen and was reluctant to let Tilly get involved,
especially if things got messy.
As the group progressed, Louisa and Tilly’s relationship strengthened
significantly, and they enjoyed spending time together. They made new
friends and began to feel part of the school community. But it wasn’t only
loneliness that was becoming a thing of the past – slowly but surely
frozen dinners were no longer on the menu. Mum and daughter were
learning practical cooking skills and a better understanding of nutrition.
They began experimenting with fresh ingredients at home, adding
vegetables to meals, and learning how to prepare balanced, home-
cooked dishes from scratch. The group’s simple, economical recipes
showed them that healthy food could also be quick and enjoyable to
make.
By the end of the Family Cookery Club, Louisa told us their diet had
changed beyond recognition. They now repeat recipes from the group at
home together and cook from scratch, trying new foods and
understanding how to eat healthily. Tilly’s favourite recipe is the turkey
stir-fry, which they now make regularly. Louisa said, “This Cookery Club
has changed what we eat and ended our loneliness.”
Flourishing Families exists for Tilly, Louisa and many more children and
families who struggle with the effects of poverty every single day. Over
the last year we have worked alongside 1,126 children, parents and
carers, supporting them to overcome the challenges caused by poverty,
bringing down the barriers which trap them in deprivation and enabling
them to flourish. We have developed new initiatives, further enhanced
existing programmes, inspired our interns with a vision to be part of
pursuing social justice across Leeds and heard countless stories like Tilly
and Louisa’s of lives that are now very different.
**Family Literacy**
Reading for pleasure is one of the most powerful foundations for future
success - it sparks imagination, builds confidence and has the power to
transform the lives of children growing up in challenging circumstances.
Our Family Literacy programmes are shaping brighter futures by
nurturing a love of reading that brings families closer and opens doors to
lifelong opportunity. But for parents who struggle with reading, even a
children’s book is an intimidating prospect, and their children have every
chance of growing up without being able to read well and being held back
for the rest of their lives.
In Story Tellers books are no longer a frightening prospect, stories
become vibrant and fun and reading becomes something to look forward
to as a family. There is clear evidence that the love for reading this
engenders means that children are more likely to be happier, healthier,
do better at school, develop a strong sense of empathy and overcome
socio-economic disadvantages caused by deprivation. In short,
developing a love for reading is one of the most effective ways for
children to break free of the trap of intergenerational poverty and give
them a strong foundation for life.
We are particularly delighted to report that every parent and carer who
was part of a story Tellers group told us that they felt more confident
about reading aloud to their child and that the family were now reading|

more together at home.
## **Family Cookery**
Sadly, 50% of low-income families regularly skip meals. Their children are twice as likely to face serious health challenges caused by poor diet. Our Family Cookery Clubs transform the diets of families and overcome poor nutrition, food insecurity and poor health. Children, parents and carers cook together, learning foundational cooking skills. The affordable, healthy and tasty recipes we use can easily be repeated at home, becoming part of a family’s regular meals and therefore changing longterm health outcomes. After a Cookery Club one mum said: “We’re not having to skip meals anymore cause of you”
Over the past year, 98% of families who attended our Family Cookery Clubs now feel confident cooking from scratch at home with their children.
What’s stood out most in getting to know so many wonderful families is just how deeply the Cookery Clubs have impacted their lives. Parents have told us how the sessions have transformed mealtimes – making them more enjoyable, affordable and healthier.
These changes go far beyond the kitchen. Cooking together strengthens family relationships, builds confidence and creates healthier habits that last. Nutrition plays a crucial role in a child's ability to thrive at school. By helping families build healthier, more varied diets, our Family Cookery Clubs are supporting not only physical health, but also long-term learning, emotional wellbeing and future potential.
## **Family Wellbeing**
Our Family Wellbeing activities provide children with a dedicated, supportive time - with a high adult-to-child ratio - where they can develop the tools and receive the encouragement needed to manage their emotions and build resilience. Over the past year, 92% of the children attending our groups have gained more confidence in themselves and their abilities. Children who once struggled to manage their feelings are now better able to focus, manage challenging emotions and express themselves confidently. Parents and teachers have told us of the remarkable improvements in social interactions and confidence of the children who have come to our groups.
The essential emotional skills our groups develop empower children growing up in deprivation to navigate challenges, build healthy relationships and lay the groundwork for a brighter future. With our support, the children we work with are growing into resilient, confident individuals – ready to thrive in every area of life.
## **Early Years**
Imagine a 4-year-old on their first day at school who is so far behind in development that they’ll never be able to escape poverty. That is the tragic reality for children living in deep poverty in Leeds. They've been held back in developing as pre-schoolers simply because their family can’t afford to keep them clean, clothed, warm or fed. They are one of many ‘left behind’ children who start school so far behind that they will never be able to catch up - leaving with few or no qualifications, trapped in lifelong poverty and facing a life expectancy 12 to 14 years shorter than their classmates. Our Early Years programme was piloted in autumn 2024 and has developed over the last year with one overarching aim: to reshape the life chances for these children.
Our Early Years programme brings together families with preschool children, creating a supportive space where parents are empowered to

Section D Achievements and performance
play with their children and learn to actively support their child’s development. Over the past year, 100% of the families we have worked with have said our groups made them feel more confident and able to be involved in their child's play and growth. We work alongside parents to explore how everyday activities can be developed into meaningful learning and growth opportunities for their little ones.
The practical approach of our Early Years sessions ensures that the positive impact doesn’t end when the group finishes - families are encouraged and equipped to repeat and recreate play routines at home. This not only supports vital development during the crucial early years but also helps prepare children for school. For families facing challenges, our groups provide much-needed structure and a sense of belonging. They deepen the connection between parent and child, offering both emotional support and practical skills that transform daily life. By nurturing these early relationships and empowering parents to engage confidently with their children, we help set families on a path toward lifelong learning, wellbeing and success.
## **Community Events**
Over the last year we have seen our community events strengthen local communities and make a lasting positive impact on people’s lives. These popular events offer welcoming and relaxed settings where families of all ages can connect and enjoy being together as a family. Being socially connected is a more important protective factor for mental wellbeing and life expectancy than employment or education level. Children who have access to community activities and social support have better educational outcomes and increased social skills. Sadly, 1 in 4 low-income parents report that they very often or always feel lonely or isolated, and 4 in 5 report feeling lonely and isolated at least some of the time. The cost of going out and lack of transport are the main factors which keep the poorest lonely and at home. One mum at a community event pointed to her child playing ‘splat the rat’ and told us that it was the first time they had been out for a long time simply because they couldn’t afford it.
Our community events are free and run in local primary schools so are easily accessible. They are packed full of fun activities, crafts, team games and food for all the family. Families talk about how these events reduce loneliness, build friendships and create a sense of belonging, especially for those who may feel isolated. Over the last year our coffee mornings and family fun days have supported and strengthened our relationships with families and improved mental wellbeing for both parents and children.
## **Highlights and the future**
Highlights include feeding 186 families over Christmas, giving 68 children presents to open on Christmas morning, launching our Advanced Cookery Club, a visit from a VIP, children growing in resilience and overcoming fears about secondary school, lonely families having fun together and making new friends, another appearance on the BBC, beginning to dream about changing lives in a second city and commissioning our own research.
Our Christmas Hamper Appeal was our biggest ever. Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for families facing hardship, and our hampers delivered both practical help and much needed fun to 186 households. What’s more, for 68 children, it meant waking up to a sack of presents chosen especially for them, when they’d expected none at all. With Christmas 2025 on the horizon, we’re already gearing up to reach even more families in need.

Section D Achievements and performance
The introduction of our Advanced Cookery Clubs has enabled us to strengthen relationships with families from our Family Cookery Club sessions, while introducing more technical, challenging recipes for older children. In these sessions, children take the lead and parents support, encouraging greater independence in the kitchen, a vital life skill as they grow up. Beef lasagne with extra vegetables has been a standout favourite across the advanced groups! For all our Family Cookery Clubs, we have developed new recipes and expanded our nutritional education resources, including games such as fibre bingo, taking the nutritional literacy of our families to the next level. In January, we welcomed Rachel Reeves to one of our Family Cookery Clubs to see first-hand how we support children and families in our community. Her visit highlighted the real challenges faced by those living in deprivation. By engaging directly with families and our team, she gained a deeper understanding of the complex issues we address and the vital role grassroots organisations like ours play in breaking cycles of poverty. Over the past year, our wellbeing groups have gone from strength to strength, supported by the complete redevelopment of our curricula, including brand-new materials covering social and emotional learning, resilience and our popular programme for Year 6 leavers around the transition to secondary school. This has brought new energy and depth to our sessions and increased their impact yet further. Building on this momentum, we are now developing two further programmes: one around anxiety, aimed at helping children strengthen their emotional understanding and social confidence, and the other for the siblings of children with special needs, who can so often feel overlooked. These programmes are already in demand, even before being rolled out. In addition, we are in the process of preparing to launch two new types of activities: an exciting outdoor mentoring programme, and a dynamic sport and physical wellbeing programme designed for the whole family. During the summer term, we hosted a series of summer community events in parks, schools and community halls across Leeds. A notable success was our family wellbeing event, which helped strengthen ties with families of children from our mentoring groups. Building on this, we are launching our new Afterschool Club pilot this autumn to reach more vulnerable families. Our community park events were another success, particularly the celebration of the International Day of Play, which expanded our Early Years network and forged new relationships in the community.
Early in 2025 we were approached by BBC Look North to ask for help in putting together a piece on the lasting effects of the pandemic, to be aired on the 5th anniversary of the first lockdown. Presenter Emma Glasby filmed at one of our Story Tellers Groups and at Play Pals, our early years group, including interviews with Kate, our CEO, and Bekah, our Literacy Lead. The ensuing report examined how Covid hit the poorest communities disproportionately hard and widened existing health inequalities. We were also able to talk about the ongoing repercussions around school readiness, child and adult mental health and physical wellbeing.
## **Commissioning Research**
All the activities we run as a charity are grounded in evidence-based practice, ensuring our interventions are both effective and well informed. We value a broad range of evidence, from academic research to credible media reports, while also recognising the influence of the wider social and economic environment on the communities we support. However, we
**TAR**

Section D Achievements and performance
believe that the most powerful insights come from those with lived experience. There is simply no substitute for hearing directly from our beneficiaries, which is why we decided to carry out our own research to better understand their needs and shape our work accordingly.
Over the course of a year, we have conducted in-depth interviews with families across our programmes. These conversations explored not only the challenges they face but also their hopes for the future and the support they would value most. The findings were carefully collated, with key themes emerging, including social isolation, increased need during school holidays, lack of access to physical activity for the whole family and the importance of locality. Responses from interviewees highlighted why it is so important that we go to people, working within their local community spaces rather than expecting them to come to us. Many people stated they would not be able to access groups further from their home due to practicalities and physical and mental health impairments. We are now using this valuable feedback to inform our planning and will begin implementing the findings in the coming months.
## **Staff Update**
Our strongest staff team yet means that more children and families than ever are receiving life-changing support. A standout success from the past year has been our Graduate Internship Programme, which has been our most successful yet – all our interns are staying on as permanent members of staff! The internship has motivated and equipped our new team members to pursue social justice across Leeds by engaging in our community groups and building strong local relationships. They have thrown themselves into developing new ideas and activities with energy and enthusiasm and are now involved in training up a new cohort of interns.
We are also thrilled to have strengthened our staff team with another former beneficiary of the charity. Welcoming team members with lived experience of the communities we support is invaluable and ensures our work stays rooted, relevant and truly connected to the families we work alongside. This year, we’ve built on our strong foundations by placing a renewed focus on staff development and training. This investment has delivered real impact and has enhanced our work and strengthened team cohesion. Volunteer training is also a key part of our growth, and we’re excited to be rolling this out further in the coming year. In addition, our CEO, Kate, has completed a Master’s Level qualification with distinction, in Strategic Leadership from Imperial College London and the Chartered Management Institute. The invaluable skills that have been honed through her study are strengthening us as a charity and being cascaded down to other members of the team.
Together, these developments reflect our commitment to excellence and have taken our professionalism to the next level, equipping us to serve our communities even more effectively.
## **Our Finances**
We are delighted to report that, thanks to the amazing generosity of our supporters, we have continued to see a growth in our income and, hence, in the number of children and families we are able to support. In 2023/24 our income was £374,878, and this has grown by 20% to £451,495 over the last year, with significant growth from local and national Government support and personal donations.
As in previous years, a number of our supporters have already awarded
**TAR**
8
Section D Achievements and performance
grants for the coming year which have been carried forward. Our aim is to continue to change the lives of an ever-increasing number of children and families, so we hope to see a further 15% to 20% increase in our income in the coming year.
Our expenditure for the year grew to £356,019 as we increased our reach and were able to make a huge difference in the lives of 1,126 children, parents and carers. Despite facing increasing costs like all of us, we continue to be able to operate at a cost per direct beneficiary of only 7% of that of Leeds City Council. In other words, 15 times the number of children, parents and carers can be supported for the same cost.
## **A final thank you**
Every week we have the privilege of hearing the stories of lives being so different because of the generosity and kindness of so many individuals, charitable trusts, Leeds City Council, the National Lottery, local businesses and others. As we look back over the last year, we feel that it has been our most exciting, most moving, most effective and most impactful to date. Most exciting as we’ve seen new initiatives develop and a growing team take on the challenges of poverty with determination and vision. Most moving as we see child after child and family after family have their lives changed and a new brighter future horizon begin to emerge. Most effective as we’ve seen our Mentoring and Story Tellers leap forward as well as our Family Cookery Clubs launching new approaches and our newest Early Years Programme begin to take off. And most impactful as we see the evidence of our work in diets changing, confidence growing, reading no longer being something to fear and the debilitating symptoms of poverty being overcome.
The generosity and kindness of our supporters makes long-lasting change to diets, health, literacy, wellbeing, social engagement, confidence, emotional health, school readiness and, most importantly of all, life outcomes. Without it, these children and families would face being locked in poverty. We are enormously grateful to everyone who stands alongside us and plays such a vital part in seeing lives changed and futures transformed.

## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME**
_This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._
|**Recognition of income**
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on donations**
**and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
