## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 for Beyond Shame Beyond Stigma (known as Beyond).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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).
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Charitable Objectives:**
The charity’s objects are:
To promote and protect the mental health, particularly but not exclusively, of young people and their families throughout England and Wales, by the provision of financial assistance, support, education and practical advice.
During the financial year ending 2025, Beyond progressed a request to amend its charitable objects with the Charity Commission. This amendment is intended to provide greater clarity and precision and does not represent a change in the charity’s underlying activities.
At a general meeting of members on the 31st March 2026, the Trustees formally adopted the amended wording approved by the Charity Commission.
The new object reads as follows:
“To promote and protect the mental health, particularly but not exclusively, of young people and their families throughout England and Wales, by the provision of support and education.”
The charity delivers its charitable aims through:
- The Now and Beyond mental health programme which gives free access to 1000+ educational settings to give educators the tools to support the mental health of their pupils.
- The Schools Programme, provided bespoke mental health interventions into educational settings across London, with priority given to young people experiencing high levels of trauma, poverty and instability.
- Partnerships with charities, funders, and corporate organisations
- Youth engagement through its Youth Board
Beyond recruited 2 new trustees to increase the diversity and experience of our Board.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees consider that the activities described below demonstrate clear public benefit through improving mental health support for young people and those who work with them and by advancing education and fostering community development.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Overview**
The charity operated in a challenging fundraising environment but continued to grow both its operational capacity and external impact. Investment in staff, trustees and partnerships supported this growth.
## **Key activities**
## **Now and Beyond programme**
The charity delivered its annual mental health initiative, ‘Now and Beyond’, reaching over 1,000 schools and approximately 160,000 students through workshops, lesson materials, and live events.
A strategic partnership with Mental Health UK significantly increased the scale of delivery and strengthened the charity’s ability to evaluate impact. Our partnership enabled us to cement our position as the lead platform for youth approved, barrier-free mental health resources for educational settings across the UK.
## **Schools programme**
The Schools Programme delivered targeted mental health support including counselling, workshops and traumainformed training.
During the year, delivery remained focused on schools within the M25 area. Due to funding constraints, the programme supported 9 schools across London, with total investment in interventions amounting to £98,826.
Although the number of schools supported was limited, the average level of support provided to each school increased compared to the previous year. This enabled the delivery of more consistent, intensive and high-quality interventions, creating a deeper and longer-lasting impact for pupils, staff and the wider school communities.
## **Fundraising and partnerships**
The charity strengthened its income base through a combination of fundraising and partnerships.
A match-funded Big Give campaign significantly exceeded its £20,000 target, raising approximately £80,000.
The charity also received funding from several grant-making organisations, including Betty Messenger, Bernard Lewis Family Charitable Trust, Born This Way Foundation.
Corporate partnerships were further developed. Pension Insurance Corporation plc (PIC) selected Beyond as its Charity Partner in 2024. Through fundraising, matched giving, and employee-led initiatives, it has made a significant contribution to Beyond’s Schools Programme. Additionally, Beyond was honoured to be selected as BETT’s charity partner. BETT is the world's largest education technology exhibition, bringing together educators and EdTech providers annually. This partnership has significantly enhanced Beyond’s profile in the education technology sector, creating new opportunities for engagement, collaboration and fundraising.
A Professional Advisory Group, comprising passionate supporters who generously contribute their time and expertise to Beyond, was established to complement the Board of Trustees. The group helps extend Beyond’s network and brings valuable external perspectives to support the organisation’s growth, strategic development, and impact.
## **Youth engagement**
The Youth Board continued to play an important role in shaping the charity’s work.
We welcomed three new Youth Board members. One of these was recruited as a result of them being nominated and ultimately winning our annual Above and Beyond Award, which recognises students that go Above and Beyond to support the wellbeing of their peers. This demonstrates our commitment to bringing the perspective of young people to everything we do.
Members of the Youth Board also contributed to fundraising campaigns, spoke at external events (including an EdTech awards event attended by over 600 guests), and delivered their own fundraising initiatives, including “I Wish ~~You Knew LIVE!” in June 2024, which was developed and hosted by Beyond’s Youth Board.~~

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Impact and Outcomes:**
The charity reports the following outcomes across its main programmes:
- Improved mental health outcomes for young people - 98% of young people experienced an improvement in their mental health because of the 1-1 therapy provided by Beyond.
- Improved knowledge outcomes for educators - 100% of educators reported increased confidence in supporting students in crisis.
- Provided mental health education to 447,686 young people who benefited from our annual mental health festival, Now and Beyond. The cost per child is 13p.
- Continued to empower Beyond's Youth Board to create impactful campaigns and share their experiences to help other young people
For the interventions delivered as part of the Schools Programme, Beyond employs robust monitoring and evaluation methods, including:
- Quantitative and anecdotal evidence from teachers regarding their perceived improvement in students' emotional wellbeing.
- Feedback from students themselves.
- Impact data and written feedback from the mental health provider.
## **Challenges and Responses:**
The focus on securing funding for Now and Beyond has been incredibly successful in securing restricted funding, however it remains important to ensure Beyond has unrestricted funds to cover its core costs to strengthen and grow capacity.
This has also led to a reduction in funding available to deliver the Schools Programme for which there is still critical need.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **Financial review**
Total income for the year was £284,680 (2024 £251,478).
The charity experienced continued fundraising challenges; however, this was offset by successful campaigns and partnership funding.
The charity reported a small surplus for the year, compared to a deficit in the prior year, primarily driven by increased partnership funding and the success of the Big Give campaign.
The charity held both restricted and unrestricted funds at the year-end amounting to a deficit of £5,036 and surplus of £157,332 respectively (2024: surplus of £52,843 and surplus of £98,692 respectively).
Restricted income was primarily received for delivery of the Now and Beyond programme and the Schools programme, as was the case for the year ended 30 September 2024.
## **Reserves Policy:**
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level equivalent to a minimum of nine months operating expenditure.
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while they consider how additional funds may be raised or the operating costs reduced.
The Statement of Financial Activities on page 7 shows net movements in funds for the year of £761 (2024: deficit £71,235), which results in an increase in total funds at the balance sheet date to £152,296 (2024: £151,535). This represents approximately eleven months of operating expenditure.
The trustees consider this level of reserves to be adequate given the charity’s current commitments and risk profile.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **Plans for future periods**
The charity’s strategic priority for 2025/26 is to develop Now and Beyond into a year-round platform. This focus will significantly expand our reach and enhance the impact of our investment. Now and Beyond is a truly sustainable programme, designed to grow year on year with new and relevant content.
This focus will ensure:
- An investment of approximately £130,000 in 2025/26
- Lower ongoing investment in subsequent years of approximately £50,000
- Expanded partnerships to increase reach and long-term sustainability, to enable Now and Beyond to become the leading repository of mental health resources for schools across the UK.
The majority of Year 1 funding was secured in the first quarter of FYE 2026, from the Bernard Lewis Family Charitable Trust, Pinterest and funding from the Born This Way Foundation again.
As a result of this focus on Now and Beyond, the funding available for the Schools Programme will reduce to an estimated budget of approximately £12,000, unless additional funding is secured. Beyond plans to recruit a Schools Programme Manager to strengthen and personalise relationships with schools to maximise the impact of both programmes.
Beyond will collaborate with youth-led digital wellbeing organisation Flippgen to host The Table; a youth led hackathon tackling the conversation around online harms and dedicated to prioritising young people’s voice.
In 2026, alongside the strategic focus on its mental health platform, Beyond will continue to build on its fundraising to secure support for core costs and the future of the Schools Programme. To help achieve this, it will apply to The Big Give’s Small Charity Week campaign. This would provide an opportunity to raise vital unrestricted funding to extend the charity’s reach and impact.
In 2026, we hope to raise funding to employ a Youth Board Manager to maximise opportunities for the young people on our Youth Board and ensure that the voices of young people remain central to the charity’s activities.
Beyond will continue to develop its both current and new charity partnerships.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing Document:**
The charity is a registered charity governed by its CIO constitution.
## **Appointment of Trustees:**
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the governing document. The Board seeks to ensure an appropriate balance of skills and experience, including lived experience relevant to the charity’s mission. During the year, new trustees were recruited to enhance board diversity and expertise.
## **Trustee Induction and Training:**
New trustees receive an induction covering the charity’s activities, governance responsibilities, and financial position.
## **Organisational Structure:**
The trustees meet regularly to review strategy, performance, financial position and risk. Day-to-day operations are delegated to CEO, Louisa Rose, supported by staff and specialist contractors.
Key risks include reliance on voluntary income, restricted funding, and organisational capacity. These are mitigated through diversification of income streams, strengthening fundraising capability and developing strategic partnerships.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then 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 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 charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Beyond is a youth mental health charity tackling the growing mental health crisis affecting young people in the UK. We use our expertise and resources to help those working with young people access barrier-free mental health education and the most effective mental health support.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income), the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Donations, grants and gifts are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any donations with relevant Gift Aid certificates recognised in income for the year. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year-end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors.

## **BEYOND SHAME, BEYOND STIGMA**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis under the following headings.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of providing specialist support and educational resources to promote and protect the mental health and wellbeing of young people, their families and educators and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Support costs comprise those costs which are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include governance cost, finance, and office costs. Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.7 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
