As we grow, its importance takes on more meaning. The past year has been more productive than I could have imagined, our development has been accelerated by our great and growing team, our ongoing commitment to listening to research, best practice and what works, as well as the insights and perspective of those who have been through our programme. We have completed 8 courses in prisons, as well as community delivery and a number of day release placements. Our apprenticeship delivery has commenced, as well as completing the absolutely amazing Yorkshire 3Peaks Challenge. The year has also seen an increased engagement in research, providing support to no fewer than 9 Masters and Degree dissertations as well as placements. Next year we look forward to co-funding a PhD Studentship in collaboration with Loughborough University. We have fully established our Leadership Community Development Board, where graduates of our programme contribute to the development of our work, including our soon-to-be-released 5 year strategy. As we move into another year, the importance of legacy is more apparent; creating a culture that continues to challenge the status quo of cyclical offending, challenging the narrative that people who have been in prison are not part of the solution, and we want to use the power of sport, exercise and fantastic mentoring to facilitate change. “This was the best thing that I have done whilst being in prison, I enjoyed the theory work as well as the practical, in a positive and engaging environment, with a team spirit.” **-** H _MP Dovegate participant_ Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E **03** ## OUR TRUSTEES We are delighted to have such an accomplished and impactful trustee board, guiding our charity through remarkable achievements and significantly advancing our mission to impact the communities we serve. **William Mackinlay** **Louis Annan** **Helen Whitehouse OBE** **Phil Newman** **Kate Molan** **Derrick Dale KC** **Robert Page** **Tania Nadarajah** **Thomas Smallbone** YEAR IN REVIEW Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## OUR PURPOSE At 3Pillars Project, we enable people in the criminal justice system to find hope, opportunity, and community. ## OUR MISSION We are on a mission to develop the most effective sports-based mentoring programme for individuals in custody and post-release. Through the power of sport, particularly rugby, we empower people to thrive beyond prison by building resilience, self-discipline, and a sense of belonging. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to rebuild their lives, and we are dedicated to providing the tools, support, and encouragement to do this. ## HOW WE WORK 3Pillars Project provides sports-based mentoring through our GAMEPLAN programme to inspire, challenge and empower young men within the criminal justice system. They start their journey with us whilst in prison and through our Rugby Academy they become part of a team, boosting their physical, mental and emotional health on and off the playing field. We work with every young man as an individual, to their time frame, whether this is for months or years. Participants can progress on to our Fit For the Future Academy to help them resettle into the community post release. Through mentoring and helping them to gain qualifications, training and employment opportunities, our apprentices are able to build a better future whilst in prison and beyond. Many of our programme graduates join our Leadership Community to give back at the end of the programme. ## **OUR 5 YEAR STRATEGY** will be released at the end of 2024. Here’s a taster of our core goals ## **GOAL 1** ## **Grow the programme** Expand GAMEPLAN in the Midlands, London and beyond. ## **GOAL 3** ## **Be a thought leader** Use impact evidence to influence stakeholders and demonstrate best practices in sports development in criminal justice. ## **GOAL 2** ## **Grow the impact** Ensure sustainable, high-quality, highimpact delivery, showcasing best practices. ## **GOAL 4** ## **Build sustainability** Ensure sustainability and financial resilience through proper resourcing, diverse funding, and a clear delivery plan. **04** YEAR IN REVIEW Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## THEORY OF CHANGE ## **Rugby Academy** Our in custody programme that uses Rugby to develop skills, build confidence and self-esteem, and provide mentoring and role modelling opportunities **.** ## Contemplation ## **Fit for the Future** **Academy** This includes day release apprenticeships, fitness, sport and other vocational training and placements in various industries.This is paired with ongoing mentoring support. ## Action Participants may return to old behaviours, reoffend or be recalled to prison.

We could tell he was a character from the start - whilst he was less keen on the classroom based activities - he took to the rugby pitch straight away, quickly becoming a competent player. Over time he developed a particularly innovative catching style which earnt him the 'Best Catcher' award at the end of programme celebration event. His achievements were not over yet though… Max later became entitled to day release from the prison just in time to join us for the 3Pillars Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge! With absolutely no idea what he was getting himself into, having never done anything like it before, but with the full confidence of the 3Pillars team, he agreed. The first day was tough, Max really struggled with the walking but we wouldn't let him lose hope and we stayed right there with him, believing in him every step of the way. It wasn't until the final climb though where we saw the transformation: that increased resilience and empathy playing out in real life. As others started to flag, Max realised that it was his turn to support others, and with a newly found spring in his step and even a big grin, he rose to the challenge beautifully.

I have been giving a lot of support to better myself by 3 pillars, which I am so grateful for._ _**- ROTL placement**_ **Two RoTL** apprentices have been delivering sessions twice a week, offering boxing and strength & conditioning classes free of charge to the local community. Over the past 12 months, we have reached **97 participants** , ranging in age from 11 to 67 years old. MIDLANDS COMMUNITY GYM ## **One RoTL** apprentice has conducted a weekly multi-sports session and a school-based session for **75 young people** referred by the school's designated safeguarding lead. _My experience with 3PP has been life changing, allowing me to better myself and help others through the love of sports. I have gained more experience and number of qualifications through courses and team building exercises that 3PP have provided for me._ _**- ROTL placement**_ **07** Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## STAND OUT MOMENTS ## Assistant Coaches Some of those who graduate from the Rugby Academy join us on our next programme not has participants but as assistant coaches, providing not only training for them but also that invaluable peer support element. In Dovegate five assistant coaches delivered high-quality rugby sessions, served on an interview panel, created a promo video, and worked towards their L2/L3 Sports Leaders qualifications, significantly enriching the course. ## Yorkshire 3 Peaks The most treacherous fundraising we do all year, the Yorkshire’s 3Peaks were conquered by the team this Summer. Alongside all of the amazing personal achievements; including some new recruits to mountain climbing, we have raised a wonderful amount of money which will go towards supporting our work. ## Guest speakers We’ve hosted an impressive lineup of guest speakers, including Emma Wiggs MBE (double Paralympic gold medal winner), Heather Fisher (former England Rugby international), the Head Coach and Strength & Conditioning Coach from Nottingham Rugby, players from the Jamaican rugby team, and Geordan Murphy (former Irish and Lions rugby player) to name just a few! ## Rugby World Cup tournament We hosted 30 participants for a rugby tournament at HMP High Down, organised Enrichment Days in collaboration with Army Reservists at HMP Feltham and conducted a Rugby Referee course for a group of 10 at HMP Dovegate. **08** Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## STAND OUT MOMENTS ## House of Lords We marked five years of dedicated efforts in addressing complex issues within prison reform for young men with a celebratory event at the House of Lords. This occasion allowed us to reflect on our remarkable achievements and lasting impact, while also hearing firsthand the real stories of the young men in our programme and connecting with our most valued supporters and partners. ## Red Bull feature Our founder and CEO, Mike Crofts, was featured in Red Bull Magazine, where he shared his motivations for establishing the charity and the significant impact it has made. ## Twickenham 6 Nations match With permission from the RFU to fundraise at Twickenham it was so important that we capitalised on the fundraising opportunity. Striking blue jumpers, wristbands and buckets at the ready we were positioned around the stadium to tackle as many of the English and Welsh rugby fans as we possibly could. ## Inaugural Awards Evening A first for the charity and certainly not the last after the outcome of the evening. 3Pillars work with people who do not have the freedom to attend everyday events, which meant that just one winner from our in custody programme was able to be there. However, what made the night so special was the attendance of family and friends, accepting awards on behalf of others. **09** Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## UNDERSTANDING WHO ENGAGES WITH US **----- Start of picture text -----**

An observation at HMP Dovegate revealed that in the initial courses, most participants were White English. However, over the year, we've engaged a more diverse cohort. While the majority of our attendees remain White English, the next largest group has been of mixed race. Our data shows that at HMYOI Feltham, a significant number of young people are from a Black background, whereas at HMP Dovegate, the majority are White. We also observed a high participation rate among young people of Pakistani descent in our courses at HMYOI Werrington. This year, we've increased the number of young people we engage by collaborating more closely with additional YOI’s. ## WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY GYM **----- Start of picture text -----**

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Financial review** ## _**Policy on reserves**_ 3Pillars Project work with a number of vulnerable young people and recognise that the removal of delivery due to funding shortages can undermine already precarious levels of trust in their lives. The Trustees recognise that sound financial planning means that we become sustainable and operate within the charity's needs. But on occasion, the charity may encounter challenges which affect funding streams. For this reason the charity needs to build up reserves and is aiming to have the ability to pay six months operating expenses from these reserves. ## **Trustees and officers** The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: Page 2 Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## **3 Pillars Project CIO** ## **Trustees' Report** Trustees: William George Mackinlay M.V.O.

The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. ## _**Credit risk**_ The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables. The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **Small companies provision statement** This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 11 April 2025 and signed on its behalf by: **----- Start of picture text -----**

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements on pages 7 to 20 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 11 April 2025 and signed on their behalf by: ......................................... William George Mackinlay M.V.O. Trustee The notes on pages 10 to 20 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9 Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## **3 Pillars Project CIO** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024** ## **1 Charity status** The charity is classed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) - this is a new type of entity managed by the Charity Commission directly. The address of its registered office is: Black Prince Trust 5 Beaufoy Walk London SE11 6AA These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 11 April 2025. ## **2 Accounting policies** ## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. ## **Statement of compliance** The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis of preparation** 3 Pillars Project CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. Page 10 Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## **3 Pillars Project CIO** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024** ## **Income and endowments** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. (a) Income received by grants and donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received, unless they relate to a specified future year, in which case they are deferred. (b) Income from charitable activities received by way of revenue grants and donations are credited to restricted incoming resources on the earlier date of when they are received or when they are receivable, unless they relate to a specified future year, in which case they are deferred. (c) Donations and grants of general nature which are not conditional on delivering certain levels of service are included as part of Donations as shown under note 2. Performance related grants and donations which have conditions for a specific outcome are include as Income from Charitable Activities as shown in Note 3. (d) Investment income is included when receivable. ## _**Deferred income**_ Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: - The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Raising funds**_ These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## **Support costs** Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. Page 11 Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## **3 Pillars Project CIO** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024** ## **Governance costs** These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination of accounts, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Trade debtors** Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. ## **Trade creditors** Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Page 12 Docusign Envelope ID: 9659250E-27A8-42F2-BB50-BDADF9211D8E ## **3 Pillars Project CIO** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024** ## **Borrowings** Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. ## **Provisions** Provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds result from specific restrictions being placed on the use of the income by the donor when making the gift or grant. ## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. ## **Financial instruments** ## _**Classification**_ The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
