## **The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults** Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025 **EXCELLENCE** We have introduced a behaviour management policy to our membership, to ensure that undesired behaviours are dealt with effectively. This relates to children and adults. Governance is reviewed and new policies are created in line with new legislation or practice. The CEO has undertaken a Level 5 Sustainability Business Management course. We will start to implement new measures within our work and promote the ‘greener’ message within our work with children, young people and families. The SBM course (level 5 award in Management and Leadership) gives the charity Chartered Management Status for one year. ## **The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults** Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025 ## **Future Plans** We continue to work towards achieving outcomes linked to our strategy objectives. Our key plans for the next year include: - Increase opportunities for young people across the county. - Continuing to build a balanced trustee board with the right skills to grow the organisation. - Identify funding to be inclusive of Bedfordshire families who request the support of our services. - Continuing to grow diversity within the organisation and expand on lived deaf experience within the organisation. - Continuing to develop Deaf Awareness and BSL training in the community. - Remain user led: work alongside and hear the views and thoughts of our members. - Continuing to deliver high quality Programmes and the creation of new projects as needs are identified. - Expand nurturing partnerships with local and national organisations. ## **Achievement and Performance** Overall, we have had a positive and productive year, navigating a number of changes and challenges with resilience and careful planning. One of the most significant decisions was to end our lease at the Phoenix Centre in Stevenage, which had been the charity’s home for the past 10 years. Without the security of Lottery funding which previously covered our rental costs and the evolving needs of our members since the Coronavirus pandemic, we felt it was the right time to transition. We were delighted to be offered office space at Moss Bury School in Stevenage. This move has not only strengthened our partnership with another organisation supporting deaf children, but it has also eased financial pressures on the charity—allowing us to redirect resources to core services and support. We remain grateful to Hertfordshire County Council, who continue to commission Phoenix to deliver the Short Breaks Local Offer (SBLO). Our SBLO holiday activities remain highly popular with children and young people across the county. As part of this programme, we have also been running a weekly lunchtime friendship group at Knightsfield School. Both initiatives are designed to enhance learning and physical activity, reduce isolation and loneliness, and help young people build confidence and friendships. In addition, we continue to maintain our registration as a Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Centre and are currently delivering our second DofE Award programme. We are particularly thankful to the Tweed Foundation for their continued support of this initiative. We continued efforts to improve communication within our communities, working in partnership with Signreach who we contracted to deliver Deaf Awareness/Introduction to BSL. We also delivered training to families of deaf children, to help improve language and communication in the home. Individual support has also been provided to young people, this has been invaluable to individuals and families across the county. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to all our staff and volunteers for their dedication and hard work over the past year. Your commitment continues to make a lasting difference in the lives of the children, young people, and families we support. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Organisational Structure** This year there was a board made up of 4 Trustees, who met regularly to administer the charity. A CEO is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. All potential new trustees attend a minimum of two trustee meetings as observers to familiarize themselves with the running and operations of the charity, before deciding whether they wish to become formal trustees and put themselves forward for election at the AGM. We continue to encourage other potential trustees or advisors who believe they can contribute to the charity and take the opportunity to join our trustee meetings initially as an observer, with the potential to join on a formal basis should interests align. Valerie Copenhagen remains Chair of Trustees ## **The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults** Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025 ## **Trustees 2024/25** V Copenhagen E Vejsiu V Reed L Santos A Ansell P Linnegar ## **Appointment of trustees** V Reed was appointed as a trustee in January 2025. ## **Resignation of trustees** L Santos stepped down as a trustee in November 2024. E Vejsiu stepped down as a trustee in December 2024. A Ansell stepped down as a trustee in March 2025. ## **Governance** The Board remains committed to maintaining strong governance, transparency, and accountability. Policies are reviewed, amended as appropriate and approved by the board as required. Key risks include funding sustainability, safeguarding concerns, and staff capacity are reviewed and mitigating actions are implemented when deemed necessary. ## **Financial Performance** For the financial year ended March 2025, our total income was £212,857. Our CEO has worked diligently to diversify our fundraising streams, resulting in a significant increase in alternative fundraising activities. In particular, the support received from Helping Herts Charity was especially valuable. We are also deeply grateful for the backing of several key funders, including BBC Children in Need, Garfield Weston Foundation, Edward Gostling Foundation, and the Cranfield Trust, all of whom contributed towards our core operating costs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our funders and fundraisers for their continued generosity and belief in our mission. Total expenditure for the year amounted to £169,888, resulting in a net operating income of £42,968. When combined with our Designated Reserves and existing cash resources, Phoenix is entering the 2025–26 financial year in a strong and stable position. This is a particularly satisfying achievement, marking our first year operating independently of lottery funding, a significant milestone in our journey toward long-term sustainability. ## **POLICY ON RESERVES** The unrestricted funds are used for general purposes within the charity. The restricted funds are used according to their original instruction. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed at the regular Trustee Board meetings. It is the policy of the charity that we aim for unrestricted reserves to be maintained at a level equivalent of between three and six months’ expenditure. All other unrestricted funds will be used in connection with the charities’ day-to-day business. 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 charities’ current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees’ annual report was approved on 28 August 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: ………………………..…………………… Ms V Copenhagen Chair of Trustees ## **The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults** Independent Examiners report to the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2025 I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults (formerly The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children) for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on the following pages. This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not rquired for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the acconts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or - 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Name: Paul O'Brien (ICPA)) - Dragonfly (Accounting & Financial Management) Ltd Address: 34 King James Close, Fordham, Ely, CB7 5ZH ## **The Phoenix Group for Deaf Children and Young Adults** Statement of Financial Activities For the year ended 31 March 2025 |INCOMING RESOURCES
