**Report of the Trustees for the period ending 31st December 2021**
## **Achievements and performance**
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.**
## **Message from the Chair**
2021 has continued to be a challenging period for all charities including Big Futures Foundation. A second lock down due to the Covid19 pandemic and the ongoing challenges of starting to return to a more normal way of life in the spring/summer have seen a lot of change for our beneficiaries and our organisation. I would like to thank our staff, trustees, beneficiaries, partner organisations, funders and supporters all for working ceaselessly to keep the BFF services on the road and delivering for our community. We wouldn’t have got through this period so successfully without you.
BFF expanded into a third location in the west of York in January 2021 in partnership with Hob Moor Primary School.
We are delighted to have received funding from a growing number of local and national grant giving bodies, individuals and businesses. The generosity of our supporters is of vital importance. It would be impossible to do our work without them. The flexibility of our major funders through 2020 and 2021 has been of huge importance. Where project plans and delivery methods were changed, all of our funders accepted our proposals.
The funding and donations we have received has allowed us to provide a highly valued and effective therapeutic counsellor to work with the BFF children and their parent/carers, to continue our Family Activity Group and provide the training, external expertise and resources we need to develop and expand our organisation and deliver our programmes.
The strong working relationships we have with the schools the BFF children attend, our counselling service provider and our local community have allowed us to make great progress and support and reach more families. We continue to look to the future, how BFF can better serve the communities we work with, how we can learn from and adapt to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and how we can continue to take our programmes to new locations across York and into other regional cities with high levels of need.
BFF is fortunate to have a skilled and committed board of trustees, staff and volunteers. Our collective commitment and willingness to provide time, expertise, ideas, critical thinking, oversight and practical help has been crucial in our ability to adapt and make progress through the year. I’d like to thank Louisa Wilson for the expertise, support, ideas and unerring energy and commitment she has brought to our Family Groups. The fun, friendships, new skills and experiences and support our families have enjoyed by participating in the groups has been a joy to see. The feedback we get from our families concerning the groups continues to be very positive. The groups are often a highlight in their week and the informal support structures they offer have been invaluable, for both adults and children, during and coming out of the pandemic.
Michelle Foulks joined BFF as our first Fundraising Manager in late 2021. A very successful appointment that brings BFF a highly valuable range of skills that is already proving to be successful as we further develop our fundraising strategy. Karen Kadow has been a huge support in the daily administrative and financial running of BFF. We simply wouldn’t function without her care, attention to detail and commitment.
The voices of the children, their parent/carers and the schools we work with are vital in our development and delivery. BFF’s priorities of supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of families and developing life skills over the long-term all aiming to close the unacceptable academic attainment gap, made worse by the pandemic, between children living in disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged communities is of the upmost importance. We continue to make sure we are providing our families with the best services and programmes we can. To meet them where they are at and to continue to build strong and respectful partnerships and support structures. We’re looking forward to continuing to support our children and their families and drive forward our programme of growth in 2022.
## **Claire Douglas – Chair of Trustees**
## **Achievements**
The Charity’s work has had an impact on its beneficiaries. The children and adults we have worked with have reported that the BFF services have improved their mental health and wellbeing. Our services have also helped the children to develop the life skills necessary for full engagement and benefit from their education.
Almost 70% of the children who participated in the BFF counselling service saw an improvement in their wellbeing measured by an adapted version of the Good Childhood Index.
Teachers and support staff from our partner schools have commented:
‘The service is helping to strengthen the resilience of the children. They are more sociable with other children in their class and are building confidence and self-esteem allowing them to participate more fully in their learning.’
A child counselling service case study (anonymised) tells us:
“T seemed much happier, being less tearful at home, less easily scared and less restless than prior to the sessions.
A review with the School Wellbeing Team, Head Mistress and Class Teacher indicated that T was presenting as more emotionally resilient at School, with less tearful meltdowns and more engagement in class.
A comparison of the Good Childhood Index Form completed by T Pre and Post sessions indicated that she felt happier with her friends and happier with her Siblings and Mum.’

**Report of the Trustees for the period ending 31st December 2021**
Our Family Groups have given the children opportunities to visit places and have experiences they’ve never had before. Their confidence to participate in new things, take calculated risks and join groups of children they don’t know so well has increased.
They are more patient with themselves and others when tackling new challenges. Their ability to develop meaningful relationships with adults is improving. The parent/carers who participate in the groups with their children have also found them invaluable, particularly through the pandemic. The support structures, friendships and opportunity the groups offer both adults and children to switch off and relax have all been reported to us on multiple occasions.
## Child feedback:
“We loved the panto can we go again!”
“We’ve had the best day! Can we do it again.”
“We love coming to the groups and playing with our friends.”
## Parent/Carer Feedback:
”It’s amazing that you invite the whole family along as we never can afford for all of us to do something”
“Thank you for arranging swimming its something I’ve wanted to take the children in long time but not being able to as unsure as to how I’ll manage.”
“Thank you so much for arranging this. I think we are going to do this again on our own.”
Our services have improved the mental health and wellbeing of the adults too. This has allowed our families to improve their social and support networks and given parents the confidence to try new things with their children.
90% of the adults worked with said the service helped and they were treated well.
## One parent case study (anonymised) for the counselling service tells us.
“J felt more able to cope when things went wrong, and felt she had someone to turn to for support when needed. The unwanted images or memories had gone and though she said she still sometimes felt anxious, the panic, terror, despairing and hopeless feelings had gone.
J expressed that she had found it extremely beneficial talking to someone who was not immediately involved, and this had helped her realise other possible options and approaches or confirmed her existing ideas.”
As the children age, we hope to see these impacts feed through into improved educational outcomes for the children at significant milestones in their school life at the end of Key Stage 2, GCSE and post 16 education and training. The effect of the pandemic on the academic progress of the BFF children is shown, through our data to be marked. BFF and our partner schools are keeping watchful eye on this. We are aware that this will take sustained and ongoing attention to rectify and will remain a long term challenge for this generation of BFF children.�

**Report of the Trustees for the period ending 31st December 2021**
## **How we spent our money**
Expenditure for 2021 was for the delivery of BFF programmes and core costs.
Total expenditure for the year was £55,770
- 87% BFF programme delivery
- 13% Core costs
During the period the Charity has delivered programmes in partnership with schools in Tang Hall, Haxby Road and Hob Moor in York.
Throughout the programme the Charity provides children with the emotional wellbeing, support and life skills development needed for success in their education, work and personal lives from age 5 right through to when they go to work.
We have a strong working partnership with our therapeutic counselling partner organisation, Northpoint Wellbeing. BFF currently provides professional therapeutic counselling services for three days a week to children and their parent/carers participating in our programmes. The counsellor supports their emotional wellbeing and mental health needs. BFF and Northpoint meet regularly to discuss progress, problem solve and monitor child safeguarding concerns.
Once the child has completed their time with the counsellor they move onto a tailored life skill and resilience building programme delivered by BFF through our Family Activity Groups. The child, their parent/carer and their siblings come together once a week to spend time together doing activities they know they enjoy such as craft, playing outside and cooking and eating together. Our programme also funds our families to visit sites, venues and participate in other activities they otherwise wouldn’t have access to (when Covid-19 restrictions allow). This input will continue throughout the time the child spends as a participant of a BFF programme. If at any point it is thought to be necessary for the child and/or their parent/carer to return to the counselling service this is available to them.
The children that participate on BFF programmes are identified initially through the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI). This is a census measure of low and no income households in postcode areas across England. Children living in the 0-40% most disadvantaged postcode areas in England qualify for BFF programmes. The second consideration is the readiness of the child and family to make progress in their education. We are mindful that for some families with multiple issues and agencies involved in their lives BFF maybe an overload. This decision is made in partnership with the child’s parent/carer and school pastoral staff.
We measure our benefit by monitoring the emotional wellbeing of children and parents participating in our programmes. We also measure the academic progress of the children and compare it against expected progress and attainment measures. We are hoping in the longer term to see the children make improved progress and have improved academic outcomes compared to those expected from current data.
At the balance sheet date, the Charity had total funds of £29,982. Uncommitted reserves freely available for charitable activities were £20,574.
## **Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held**
The reserves policy of the Trustees is to keep 3 months of the operational and contracted costs as the reserves level required. This has been set at £20,222. Based on the Trustees risk assessment, this would enable the charity to fulfil its obligations in an event of unforeseen financial circumstances. The unrestricted reserves of £20,574 (2020 - £17,946) therefore meet the required level of three monthly expenditures of £20,222 as set by the Trustees
## **Plans for Future Periods**
BFF started delivering services to children and families in January 2018. BFF expanded into a third location in York in early 2021. After the ongoing effects of lockdowns and recovery from the Covid19 pandemic the planned community consultation and listening will take place in 2022. Beneficiary consultation and feedback is a regular and ongoing part of our annual processes. This is to ensure we understand what our families want and need and include them in the development and delivery of our programmes. One of the effects of the pandemic has been the need for re-referral of beneficiaries into our counselling service. This has therefore slightly slowed the ability of BFF to accommodate new families. We hope therefore to be able to work with approximately 40 families across York by the end of 2022.
During 2022 we will expand into a fourth location in York, as well as continuing to expand the provision of support through our existing locations as the children age. We will also be offering support to our eldest BFF children and their parents/carers for the secondary school transition period. In addition to this, we will be preparing what our BFF programme will look like when we support these children during their time at secondary school. We also feel ready to take our services to other cities beyond York and will be exploring a move into Leeds communities during 2022 or 2023. We will need to develop our funding strategy further in order to achieve this applying to larger, national funding organisations and alternative sources of private and corporate giving as well as developing further our funding partnership approach with our existing school partners.
## **Risk management**
The trustees maintain a risk register and have assessed the major risks which the Charity faces and seek to control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the Charity. The trustees recognise that, having placed this recently formed Charity on a sound governance ground, a pro-active funding strategy needs further development and implementation to ensure growth and sustainability.

## **Big Futures Foundation**
## **Step change**
The Step Change Grant is administered by Two Riding Community Foundation and has been established by the generosity of the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust to provide organisations based in the City of York with the opportunity to apply for funding which can contribute to the running costs of their organisation and within this also provide the necessary ‘step change’ needed to increase their capacity to respond to needs in their particular community and take their organisation towards sustainability and/or expansion.
