## **EDUCATCH CHARITY** 

## **TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT** 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 05 OCTOBER 2025 

## **A Word from the Chair** 

## **Mr Ian Duckett — Chair of Board of Trustees, The Educatch Charity** 

It is my privilege to present this Trustees' Annual Report on behalf of the Board of Trustees of The Educatch Charity for the year ending October 2025. 

## **The Challenge We Face** 

The need for what The Educatch Charity does has never been greater. Across England, school non-attendance rates have reached their highest recorded levels since consistent data collection began — with over 1.6 million pupils now classified as persistently absent. Behind that figure are hundreds of thousands of young people who are falling further behind every week: children with unmet SEND needs, those excluded or at risk of exclusion, young people whose anxiety and mental health challenges mean the classroom door feels impossible to walk through. 

The number of children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) has more than doubled in the past decade, yet local authority budgets have not kept pace. Waiting times for specialist assessments stretch into years. Schools, stretched thin, are increasingly unable to provide the intensive, individualised support these children need within a mainstream setting. Too often, the result is a young person left at home, unseen and unsupported — their potential quietly eroding. 

## **This Year** 

This has been a year of continued growth, resilience and impact. We have supported over 98 young people across a wide area of London, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire — many of whom arrived with us having experienced years of disruption to their education. The vast majority hold an EHCP, and almost all come to us after mainstream or SEN provision has, for one reason or another, been unable to meet their needs. Our education advisers, mentors and managers work with extraordinary skill and humanity to meet each young person exactly where they are. 

The services have worked flexibly to respond to growing numbers of young people across a wide geographical area. We have supported young people with hugely complex needs as well as those capable of completing A ‘Levels. 

## **Infrastructure Investment** 

This year we made a significant investment in physical infrastructure. Our large new Guildford Centre opened in September 2025, bringing purpose-fitted, centre-based provision to Surrey for the first time. Across the year we have also worked from three Educatch dedicated spaces in Wandsworth ( Tooting Works, Toland Square, the allotment ) so much effort has gone into ensuring we have the right spaces to work from thus extending our South London capacity. We have maintained and improved the charity reserved allotment and outdoor learning space in South London— providing a therapeutic, nature-based setting to be accessed in the future by some of our most complex young people in this area. Together, these three investments mark a step-change in Educatch's ability to offer structured, centre-based provision alongside our established community and home-based model.

## **Governance** 

Good governance remains central to everything we do. The Board has continued to strengthen its oversight this year, and we are delighted to welcome a new trustee with extensive marketing expertise joining us in August. We also welcome Yousef Chabibi, an educationalist with many years of experience within Senior Management teams, working in inner-city mainstream schools delivering ICT. Yousef brings a strong business background which will be invaluable in his role as Treasurer. We are keen to develop the diversity of our Board — including adding another Young Persons Representative — to ensure that the voices of those we serve remain at the heart of our decision-making. 

Our thanks go, as always, to our funders, commissioning local authorities, partner schools and agencies — and above all to the young people and families who trust us to walk alongside them. Their courage and determination remind us every day why this work matters. 

I look forward to another year of meaningful progress. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document & Legal Structure** 

Educatch was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) by a constitution dated 21 June 2021 and registered with the Charity Commission on 21 June 2021. There are currently 3 Trustees; any future Trustees shall be appointed by resolution. The board of trustees holds ultimate legal and financial responsibility for the charity. 

The charity is regulated by the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Registered Charity No. 1177308. 

## **Trustee Recruitment, Diversity & Training** 

The charity seeks to ensure that the needs of the young people we support are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, the charity has sought to identify trustees who have specific experience of working with young people who are educationally and socially excluded. The more traditional business and operational skills are also very well represented on the Board. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. The Charity is based in London but is a national organisation currently working across nine regions. 

The Charity is exceeding the targets set in its strategic development plan and is growing quickly. The trustees meet termly and follow an agenda agreed in advance. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training** 

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. All trustees are trained in safeguarding and child protection. Additionally, new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a training session (of no more than an hour) to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. 

_Upcoming Appointment_ : A new trustee is due to join the board in August, bringing extensive experience of marketing to further strengthen the charity's reach and communications strategy.

Docusign Envelope ID: DF7DDF5C-F928-8C77-83AE-5085EEBABE8F 

## **Organisational Structure** 

Day-to-day operations are managed by the senior leadership team. The charity employs peripatetic community based education advisers, pastoral support staff and operational staff across a wide regional area from Luton to Kent. 

- CEO — Strategic leadership and stakeholder relationships 

- Director — Operational delivery and programme oversight 

- Head of Operations — Day-to-day coordination and reporting 

- Education Advisers — Direct delivery of tuition and mentoring 

## **Key Management & Remuneration** 

The trustees give their time freely and no trustee receives remuneration for their trusteeship role. Pay for key management personnel is reviewed annually and set at a level that reflects the responsibilities of the role while remaining consistent with the charity's values and financial position. 

## **Related Parties & Connected Organisations** 

The Educatch Charity has no subsidiary organisations, connected charities or related parties that require disclosure under charity law. Any potential conflicts of interest are declared to the board. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when reviewing the charity's objectives and planning its activities for the year. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, in particular the supplementary guidance on charities for the relief of those in need. All activities undertaken by the charity directly advance its charitable purposes and provide benefit to vulnerable young people who would otherwise be unable to access education and support. No private benefit arises from the charity's activities other than as incidental to achieving its charitable purposes. The aims of the organisation continue to be charitable; 

- That the aims and work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need; 

- That the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay; and 

- That there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities. 

## **Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims** 

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. 

The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

## **Charitable Purposes** 

To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 throughout England by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of educational and other activities as a means of advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals. 

## **Financial review** 

The Charity's overall financial position remains strong, supported by robust financial controls and effective management. This has resulted in a positive financial outcome for the year, with a net income of £109,076.68 (2024: £37,999.44) from charitable activities, along with restricted grants of £29,000 (2024: £10,000) and unrestricted income of £774,575.04 (2024: £417,102.62) from charitable activities. At the year-end, unrestricted funds amounted to £163,306.56 (2024: £65,948.55) and restricted funds amounted to £14,615.96 (2024: £2,897.29). 

## **Principal Funding Sources** 

The majority of the funding received by the Charity comes from the sale of spot purchased services delivered to schools and local authorities across the UK. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have established a policy whereby, given the Charity's present level and nature of activities, the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in intangible and tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the Charity should aim to be no less than three months' unrestricted expenditure. 

At this level the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced as activities changed.

Partnership Working Collaborative working with schools, local authorities, social care, CAMHS, SALT, OT and other agencies to provide wraparound support. 

## **The EduCatch Process** 

A five-stage cycle of support designed around the young person, building confidence and achieving lasting outcomes. 

1. Conversation: We hit the ground running with a home visit to have a transition planning meeting and discussions with the network and young person, their family, staff and professionals. We respond to a referral within 48 hours. 

2. Assessment: We create an initial baseline assessment which leads to an Individual Support Plan informed in partnership with social care, education and health. We formulate a thorough risk assessment and risk management strategy. 

3. Targets & Rewards: EduCatch is a quality assured service with weekly reports, individual targets, and collaborative target setting and reviews. Every 8 weeks we re-evaluate targets and offer small rewards for achievements. 

4. Coaching into Confidence: The EduCatch Charity offers attendance at, and facilitation of any meetings as when and where required (we work across the UK). We welcome network team meetings, reviews and TACs to congratulate the learner. 

5. Health, Transition & Achievement: Supporting transitions is the final stage. We offer direct support for young people who require help regarding their mental health — our pastoral support is central to the Educatch model.

## • **Strong Multi-Agency Working** : Strong Multi-Agency Working 

We have maintained effective partnerships with local authorities, social care, CAMHS, schools and alternative providers — attending TACs, CIN meetings, PEPs and annual reviews to ensure coordinated support around every young person. 

## **Key Developments 2024–2025** 

1. **Guildford Centre Opened** : We secured and fitted out a large, purpose-built centre in Guildford, Surrey — our first dedicated physical space for full-time and part-time EOTAS provision for young people with EHCP’s requiring a bespoke programme. We therefore now have an established hub in Surrey from which we deliver bespoke EOTAS packages of support to young people all of whom have EHCP’s. 

Reserves have been used to fund this premises,a Teacher-in-Charge, resources, furniture, equipment and transport costs. 

Lessons are highly personalised and include Core subjects alongside of a huge range of subjects ranging from Art, Drumming, Life skills, PE, Astronomy and Science. 

Close partnerships have been established with schools, the Local Authority and with parents through regular home visits. 

Our learners are able to sit exams entered independently by the charity. 

All young people are entered for GCSE’s and or Functional skills examinations in chosen subjects. Throughout the year across Surrey, we have also worked with a number of LAC who have been offered an equine programme based at local riding schools commissioned through the charity. 

2. **Wandsworth Teaching Spaces** : As well as offering community learning we have developed and customised two charity dedicated teaching spaces secured in Wandsworth, extending our South London capacity. Working in partnership with an Occupational therapist Toland Square has been made into an attractive bespoke sensory space with resources and access to cooking for young people with highly complex needs. 

The allotment has been developed to ensure it is fit for purpose and can be used in the future for a cohort of South London Learners interested in horticulture and cooking. 

## Gardening Project 

9 



Docusign Envelope ID: DF7DDF5C-F928-8C77-83AE-5085EEBABE8F 

The Educatch charity would like to continue to develop an Earth to Plate gardening project for young adults who are NEET with Special Educational Needs and/ or with learning disabilities. Our community allotment has now been made more accessible. 

Students from Lambeth and Wandsworth have accessed sessions at the allotment and it is a thriving plot growing herbs, tomatoes, beetroot, gooseberries, and flowers planted by young people. 

The benefits of gardening to young people with autism are huge and include improving gross and fine motor skills, communication, teamwork & socialisation, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and diet as well as offering a calming sensory experience for our service users- many of whom are on the autistic spectrum. 

This project has been designed to support the individual personal development goals of service users who are all in need of activities and community support. We have been granted the allotment plot indefinitely although work was needed to ensure accessibility. We plan to use the project to learn how best to promote the development of greener, safer, better neighbourhoods and to share an understanding of where and how food is grown and how important community is within this process. 

A space has also been secured for the Senior Management Team to meet and work from. 

3. **Luton & Hertfordshire** : We have developed a new service and team working peripatetically across this region led by a Teacher-in-Charge. We recruited a new team of Educational Advisers including an Occupational therapist which enabled delivery across a large regional area to a diverse cohort of young people. We also worked closely with SEN schools to prevent exclusions and support a bespoke alternative curriculum and provision. This has enabled the charity to respond to a growing provision which we feel will rapidly expand in the near future. (See plans 25/26) We have worked in partnership with several local authority SEND Departments, Inclusions Teams, Social Care, children’s homes, Secure units, hospitals, mental health facilities and schools to support children and young people with complex needs/PMLD), neurodiversity, and SEMH. 

The charity has created bespoke packages of support for young people who have often struggled in other provisions and who required a bespoke, sometimes two-to-one service that is tailored to meet EHCP targets. 

This service is being delivered predominantly across Luton and from our hub in Wandsworth. The curriculum offered has been bespoke, tailored to meet the individual needs of each and every young person at that time. The programme is dynamic, fun, creative, planned in advance but flexible in order to be able to respond to regular evaluations. Our approach is based upon relationships with a key individual and our focus is always around the avoidance of conflict and access to positive activities and achievement. 

We have found success particularly by working closely with other key professionals most notably with an excellent occupational therapist who has for the past two years provided invaluable support in helping to develop a sensory diet and training for staff. This model of close working with other experts is something we hope to build upon. 

4. New Trustee recruitment drive leading to appointment of Yousef Chabibi joined the Board as Treasurer — bringing a strong background in education, ICT and business to strengthen our governance and financial oversight.

Docusign Envelope ID: DF7DDF5C-F928-8C77-83AE-5085EEBABE8F 

## **Policy Development** 

During this reporting period, Educatch made significant advances in policy and practice — strengthening our quality assurance framework and placing safeguarding at the centre of all we do. 

|**Policy Area**|**Development**|
|---|---|
|||
|Safeguarding<br>&<br>Child Protection|Safeguarding is not a compliance exercise at Educatch — it is the foundation<br>of everything we do. Every decision, every placement and every interaction<br>with a young person is underpinned by our commitment to keeping children<br>safe. Our safeguarding policy is reviewed annually and all staff and tutors<br>hold current DBS clearance and receive regular safeguarding training.|
|Designated<br>Safeguarding<br>Lead|We have appointed four dedicated Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL)<br>across the charity as it has grown. They are responsible for monitoring,<br>recording and actioning all safeguarding reports and concerns. This role<br>ensures that every concern is followed up promptly, that records are maintained<br>to a high standard, and that referrals to statutory agencies are made without<br>delay where required.|
|Safer<br>Recruitment|This year we undertook a targeted recruitment drive and employed<br>operational support to grow our tutor and support staff workforce. All<br>recruitment followed the statutory Safer Recruitment framework — including<br>enhanced DBS checks, reference verification, identity checks and<br>safeguarding interviews — ensuring that every person working with our<br>young people meets the highest standards of suitability.|
|Training|Staff receive Child Protection training to Level 2 (regularly refreshed each<br>year and at induction).<br>Managers receive Designated School Lead training- level 3. Staff involved in<br>recruitment undertake Safer Recruitment training. Our child protection and<br>whistle blowing policy and procedures are then shared through trained staff<br>with all service users so our young people know who to speak to if they have<br>any concerns or worries. New employees undertake an Enhanced DBS check<br>(refreshed every three years); complete an application form and provide two<br>references which are checked before they can start. Regular training ensures<br>all staff adhere to procedures shared at induction.<br>Concerns are reported in the risk forms and sent to social care and appropriate<br>representatives from the LA and the service user’s professional network. Local<br>Authority protocols are rigorously observed.<br>Specific concerns in an emergency or around the safety of a child are<br>reported to the police. Child Protection information is shared daily by the staff<br>to the appropriate Manager (or vice versa), to LADO (if appropriate), and<br>through weekly team meetings.|
|Home Visit<br>Protocol|We have introduced a new protocol governing home visits — a practice<br>central to our model of understanding the full circumstances of why young<br>people are referred to us. The new protocol sets clear expectations for staff<br>safety, record-keeping, consent and multi-agency communication.|

## **EHCP Plans — Special Educational Needs** 

Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) indicate students with complex additional needs. All students in Herts & Beds have EHCPs, reflecting the specialist nature of that provision. 

|**Metric**|**Figure**|

|Herts & Beds — students with EHCP|12 of 12 total (100%)|



## **Archived Students — Programme Completions** 

Beyond our current active caseload, 36 students have completed their programme and transitioned on — demonstrating the long-term impact of our work. 

- 36 Students Successfully Completed: Our archive contains 36 students who have completed their alternative provision programme — a testament to the impact of sustained, personalised support. 

- Transition to Mainstream & Further Education: Many archived students progressed back into mainstream schooling, college, or further education programmes after receiving support from the charity. 

- Long-term Relationships: Several families-maintained contact after programme completion, with siblings and extended family members joining our current active caseload.

## **Attendance & Safeguarding** 

Robust monitoring, RAG-rated action planning and same-day follow-up. 

## **Why Attendance Matters** 

Attendance monitoring is a core feature of our safeguarding practice. Most Educatch students are on the SEND register, making them particularly vulnerable when whereabouts cannot be accounted for. Non-attendance is treated as a safeguarding concern and acted upon immediately. 

During timetabled sessions, Educatch staff hold the duty of care for pupils throughout. All tutors check in within 10 minutes of session start and attendance is recorded on our central system daily. 

14 



Docusign Envelope ID: DF7DDF5C-F928-8C77-83AE-5085EEBABE8F 

## **Daily Register & Follow-Up** 

- Daily attendance register updated in real time via tutors' app 

- Attendance coded in line with DfE guidance 

- Same-day follow-up for every absence — reasons identified and recorded 

- Barriers to engagement logged (health, anxiety, transport, family) 

- Weekly reports shared with commissioning schools, LAs and parents/careers 

- Attendance collated termly for Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) 

## **RAG-Rated Attendance System** 

Attendance is monitored using a RAG-rating system to ensure timely identification of need and swift intervention. Where attendance falls below threshold, an individual action plan is immediately triggered. 

|**RAG Status**|**Attendance Range**|**Action**|
|---|---|---|
||||
|GREEN|80%+ attendance|No immediate concerns|
|AMBER|50–79% attendance|Emerging concerns — monitor & support|
|RED|Below 50%|Targeted intervention required|



When attendance falls below 80%, this trigger: Weekly team review, Barrier discussion, Agreed actions recorded, Timetable adjustments, Increased pastoral support, LA / school liaison. 

## **Individual Attendance Action Plans** 

Each young person has a bespoke attendance action plan reviewed regularly. Educatch maintains clear evidence including register exports, action logs, communication records and individual attendance plans — all demonstrating responsiveness and clear progression over time.

## **Financial Review** 

A review of the charity's financial position for the year, including principal funding sources, expenditure, reserves policy and principal risks. 

Principal Sources of Income 

- Local authority commissioning for EOTAS and alternative provision placements 

- • EHCP-funded packages via education authorities. 

- Direct referral fees from schools and academies for reintegration support 

15 



Docusign Envelope ID: DF7DDF5C-F928-8C77-83AE-5085EEBABE8F 

- Grants and charitable donations supporting enrichment and pastoral activities 

How Funds Were Spent 

- Direct delivery costs — Education adviser salaries and session delivery 

- Operational and management costs — Head of Operations, Service managers, Operational support, Recruitment and administration. 

- Resources and materials — Curriculum resources, enrichment activities 

- Travel and outreach — Home visits, Site management and SMT regional meetings, community-based delivery across regions 

- Infrastructure investment — Guildford Centre, Wandsworth premises and outdoor learning sites 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves sufficient to cover a minimum of three months' operational expenditure. This provides a buffer against unexpected reductions in income or increases in costs, ensuring continuity of provision for vulnerable young people. Reserves are reviewed at each trustee meeting. 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees have considered the financial position of the charity and are satisfied that it remains a going concern. The charity has a pipeline of confirmed referrals and commissioned placements for the forthcoming year, and the trustees are confident in its ability to meet its obligations as they fall due. 

## **Earthworks — Life Skills & Cooking Programme (Lottery Grant)** 

The Earthworks programme is a two-year initiative for young people with learning difficulties or Special Educational Needs, delivered through weekly 1:1 cooking and food preparation classes. The programme focuses on building essential life skills including budgeting, healthy eating, and practical cookery — supporting participants to live more independently and engage positively with their local community. 

Funding to date has been directed primarily towards staffing costs, reflecting the highly specialised and intensive support required to work effectively with young people presenting with very complex needs.

## **Earth to Plate — Community Education & Reengagement Project (Lambeth Community Grant — OGA479331)** 

Geographic area: SE11 5QY (Kennington & Stockwell, South London) · Theme: A Fair and Equitable Borough 

Working primarily with schools in Kennington and Stockwell, Educatch identified a significant number of young people through existing relationships with school SENCOs who were not attending school, had received fixed-term exclusions, were known to the Youth Offending Service (YOS) and/or the criminal justice system, or had been identified as at risk of non-achievement. The project provides a direct challenge to non-attendance, poor school achievement, youth offending, mental health concerns, and lack of transition planning. 

## **What the Grant Funds (2-Year Programme)** 

- 1:1 tuition through a personalised home or community learning programme with weekly academic targets and reports 

- Intensive support to tackle factors contributing to non-attendance — emotional and therapeutic diversion from negative activity 

- Life coaching and personalised timetables focused on attendance, engagement and achievement 

- Delivery in partnership with schools, parents/carers and the Youth Offending Service 

- 1:1 classroom support or off-site community support leading to school reengagement 

- Parental/carer support to engage in their child's education, mental health and risk management plan 

- Same-day targeted approach to attendance and home-based issues 

- Intensive exam preparation tuition 

- Close multi-agency liaison with all services supporting each young person 

## **Delivery Settings & Staff** 

The project team — comprising teachers, youth workers and mentors — deliver across recording studios (mentoring and self-expression), professional kitchens (life skills and communication), and gyms/ boxing clubs (routine and self-esteem). All staff bring specialist experience of working with highly vulnerable young people. 

## **Expected Outcomes** 

## **Outcome** 

Reduction in youth offending and high-risk behaviour 

Improved school attendance and engagement 

Engagement with statutory services (YOS, CAMHS, Social Care) 

Participation in mentored activities: tuition, music, gym, college interviews 

Engagement in mentoring sessions 

Improved family relationships 

Achievement of EHCP targets

## **Principal Risks & Uncertainties** 

|**Risk**|**Mitigation**|
|---|---|
|||
|Income volatility|Dependency on LA commissioning and grant funding carries risk. Mitigated by<br>diversifying income streams and maintaining a 3-month reserves buffer.|
|Safeguarding|Working with vulnerable young people requires robust safeguarding procedures.<br>Mitigated by regular training, DBS checks, and clear escalation pathways.|
|Staff retention|Specialist education advisers are difficult to recruit and retain. Mitigated by<br>competitive pay reviews, supportive culture and professional development<br>opportunities.|
|Regulatory<br>change|Changes to SEND legislation or EOTAS commissioning could impact demand.<br>Mitigated by close monitoring of government policy and active sector<br>engagement.|



## **Plans for Future Periods** 

The trustees have set out the charity's main aims and planned activities for the period ahead, ensuring continued focus on our charitable purposes. 

|**Priority**|**Plan**|

## **14. Prior Year Adjustment and Restatement of Comparative Figures** 

During the year, the trustees identified an error in the classification of expenditure in the prior year accounts. As a result, comparative figures have been restated to recognise an additional £272.47 of unrestricted expenditure within charitable activities. 

The adjustment has reduced unrestricted funds brought forward at 06 October 2024 by £272.47 and increased expenditure on charitable activities for the year ended 05 October 2024 by the same amount. The restatement has no impact on the charity's cash balance or restricted funds. 

The trustees consider the adjustment necessary to ensure that the comparative figures are presented on a consistent basis and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

## **15. Related Party Transactions** 

There were no related party transactions during the year (2023-24: Nil). 

## **16. Trustees’ Remuneration, Benefits and Expenses** 

No trustees received any remuneration or benefits in kind during the year (2023-24: Nil). 

## **17. Employees Earning Over £60,000** 

No employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000 during the year (2023-24: Nil).
