TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Trustee Report for the Year Ended on 31st October 2024

The trustees are pleased to present our report of Chayah Development Project CIO (referenced later as Chayah Project or “the project”) which was registered as a charity ( number 1181113 ) on 11th December 2018.

The registered office is at 26 Robinhood Chase, Nottingham, NG3 4EZ.

Chayah Development Project was set up as a target specific channel to support young women and girls who have directly or indirectly experienced street life, and other adverse issues. We provide empowerment programmes, coaching, mentoring, outreach, signposting and advocacy. Over the years, the project has expanded its vision to include young men, families and extended circle of service users when possible.

Our Staff/Volunteers work in partnership with relevant organisations to protect vulnerable and provide vulnerable young people with relevant services in the context of their transition to more independent living and positive healthy relationships within society. We are a funded organisation running a variety of programmes based on funding specifications.

A set of initial trustees prepared the necessary governing documents to set up the charity. The project operates under a constitution closely following Charity Commission guidance and a secondary document “Articles of Association” that lays out the detailed arrangements for running the organisation. The initial trustees served from the formation of the charity until the first general meeting which was held on 21st January 2019. The initial trustees made the application to establish the charity and are still the current Trustees.

The names are as follows:

Carl White Karina Scott (Chair) James Ramowski Maired Stephanie Fisher Sidione Rosemarie McLeod Yvonne May Francis-Parmar

The governing documents define the ongoing arrangements for Trustees to run Chayah Development Project. Up to nine Trustees can be directly elected. Direct elections of Trustees are to be held under the ‘Constitution’ of the project.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The governing document is the Chayah Development Project CIO Constitution adopted on 19th November 2018 which became recognised by the Charity Commission when the Charitable Incorporated Organisation was registered on 11th December 2019. This provides detailed rules for membership, the appointment of Officers and the management of the Project.

The operational activities of Chayah Development Project CIO were an extension of work that Chayah project as a company had implemented before acquiring charitable status. In planning the charity’s activities for the year, the Trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. All Trustees were briefed on the role of Trustees of Project and were given copies of the governing documents of the Project and referred to the detail on the Charity Commission website related to becoming a trustee and to the guidance on public benefit. The Trustees held regular meetings during the year. Some operational details are delegated to board, each of which has terms of reference agreed by the Trustees. The Project Trustees work entirely on a voluntary basis, however under memorandum of the charity but can be employed if the role is separate from their activities as employees' rights and duties are defined by an employment contract.

As a Charity, we continue:

  1. To refine and improve governance structure

  2. To preserve our service quality to meet the needs of all our service users and partners

  3. To shape our group’s capability and culture

  4. To grow our brand recognition and infrastructures

  5. To enlarge our partnerships

  6. To advance our financial stability and increase revenue

  7. To constantly improve operational efficacy

RISK MANAGEMENT

The board has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre, to ensure a consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

3

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Chayah Development Project has Trustees and an external board of Management Committee of up to 8 members who meet quarterly and are responsible for reviewing the strategic direction and policy of the charity but have no voting rights. At present the Committee has eight members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity and offer expertise when and where is needed. These work on a voluntary capacity and advise the Trustees and Managers.

A system of allocation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Chief Executive and Operational Manager along with the project coordinators. The Chief Executive is accountable for safeguarding that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The Operational Manager has responsibility for the day to day operational management of the Company, individual supervision of the staff team and also ensuring that the team continue to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

As a project, our service users remain at the core of services provided to provide holistic support to our services users. Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to benefit the public by advancing the life, relieve needs of and help young people and their families in Nottingham and the surrounding area by acting as a resource for young people and providing advice, assistance and services.

Our Vision

Chayah strives towards a violence free society, in which ALL young people, whatever their background, feel valued and are able to access education, training and other opportunities in order to pursue their life goals.

Our Mission

Chayah’s mission is to empower those facing deprivation and other barriers to social inclusion through a range of support, mentoring, signposting and advocacy. Through our outreach and education work we aim to raise the aspirations of vulnerable young people and provide them with an alternative to gang culture and the life they see before them

Our Values

• We are compassionate: We have lived experience and treat our service users with compassion and empathy. We meet them on their own terms, speak their language and help them feel heard.

• We are holistic: We work with the whole person, providing support encompassing their practical and emotional needs. We also provide signposting and advocacy to help overcome barriers to other services and to ensure their needs are met.

4

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on providing services for our vulnerable young people that undertake to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. Our Overall Goal is that disadvantaged young women will be enabled to have independent, empowered and confident lives through robust sustainable long-term support/engagement.

OUR SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO:

Our aims copiously reflect the commitments that the charity was set up to further. Ensuring our work delivers our intentions, 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 aim, objectives and activities remained 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 aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity has been able to achieve a lot in the year 2023/2024, the new challenges brought on with the cost of living crisis. This report highlights the achievements of the charity in 2023/2024, with a focus on our food, educational, mental health support and outreach event programs.

Over the last year we have engaged with:

• Over 550 individuals/families in the workshops, events and programmes that we ran individually and in partnership. This includes parenting and well-being programmes.

• Through Education institutes we worked with 55 students and supported parents with school exclusions. The charity's educational efforts were geared towards providing education support to children from underprivileged communities especially those young people facing exclusion.

• We impacted approximately 580 (individuals including their families) with our food programme this included hot meals and food packs. This was achieved through the distribution of food parcels and cooked meals to families in need. The charity also partnered with local businesses and food banks to ensure that we had enough resources to meet the growing demand for food support. The success of these food programs was evident in the positive feedback received from the families that benefited from the support.

• We started youth programmes in our Edwards Lane Centre with over 50 young people in attendance especially during the school holidays.

• We continued our outreach programmes supported by Nottinghamshire Police, PCC and Broxtowe council as we spread further into the county areas with sports and feeding programmes as well as late night outreach efforts.

• We continued building and working alongside other agencies.

• Current Consortiums include Castle Cavendish, Nottingham Police, Broxtowe city council, Broxtowe women’s network, Stapleford community project, Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and Ending Youth Violence.

• Referrals to the programme have increased by an additional 22% compared to the previous year with more coming from; Social care, other local charities, DWP, Police, Schools and individuals.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 2023/2024

During the financial year 2023/2024, Chayah Development Project continued to face the ongoing impact of the cost of living crisis. This external environment placed increased pressure both on the communities we serve and, on the organisation’s, financial resources. Despite these challenges, the trustees are pleased to report that Chayah remained committed to delivering its charitable objectives and adapting its services to ensure maximum public benefit.

1 . Impact of the Cost of Living Crisis on Service Delivery

The significant rise in the cost of essential goods, energy, and housing intensified the hardship faced by many beneficiaries. Demand for our services, particularly around food provision, wellbeing support, and crisis response, increased considerably. While this placed a strain on staff and resources, the organisation prioritised its frontline services and introduced community-led approaches to ensure continuity of support. Trustees recognise the resilience and adaptability demonstrated by staff and volunteers in sustaining service delivery under these pressures.

2. Funding Environment

The wider funding environment remained competitive, with limited grant availability as funders responded to growing demand across the sector. Nevertheless, the charity was able to maintain its operations by diversifying income streams. New partnerships were secured with local authorities, grant-making trusts, and community networks, and targeted fundraising activities were launched. Whilst this income enabled the continuation of core activities, restrictions on available funds limited opportunities for significant infrastructure investment or staff expansion.

3. Financial Management and Risk

The trustees placed strong emphasis on prudent financial management throughout the year. Systems for monitoring expenditure and income were strengthened, supported by improved use of digital tools for financial oversight. This approach allowed trustees to ensure that resources were deployed effectively, achieving maximum impact for beneficiaries. Trustees also reviewed the organisation’s risk register, with specific attention to the financial risks posed by short-term funding and the ongoing cost of living crisis. Steps have been taken to mitigate these risks by increasing financial controls and identifying potential avenues for building unrestricted reserves.

4 . Mitigation and Sustainability Strategies

In order to strengthen the charity’s financial resilience, the following measures were pursued:

7

• Exploring social enterprise models consistent with the charity’s objectives to create new income streams.

These strategies helped to stabilise the organisation’s financial position and provided a platform for developing new programmes in youth empowerment, intergenerational engagement, and mental health support.

5. Forward Outlook

The trustees recognise that the external environment will remain challenging into 2024/2025. However, the charity’s refreshed strategy places a stronger emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and collaboration. By consolidating existing partnerships, developing new income streams, and maintaining robust financial oversight, the trustees are confident that Chayah Development Project is well positioned to continue delivering significant public benefit to the communities it serves.

PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grants. As a result of increasing constraints on local authority expenditure, the charity has to seek funding from a much broader group of agencies. Our increased partnerships are proving particularly useful in identifying possible opportunities for a much wider range of funding for the future. We have more funding applications pending and are finding new ways to be more financially sustainable.

This is provided mainly by 7 Different funders which were, Comic Relief, National Lottery Community fund, Nottinghamshire PCC, Broxtowe Council, Castle Cavendish, Co-op Trust and Derbyshire JN Trust which provide a mix of restricted and unrestricted funding.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Most of our funds are restricted and to be spent within a specified amount of time. We are however trying to consider additional options available to enable us to have sustainable funding that we can consider for investment. An investment policy is therefore something being explored and planned to be implemented if feasible before the new financial year.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees and officers are examining possible avenues to fit the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It is our hope to establish a policy whereby any unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should carry a general reserve about equal to 6 months unrestricted fund expenditure, to minimise any risk of shortfalls and to cover any loss of income but to make sure staff and expenses are covered.

8

PLANS FOR FUTURE YEARS

Over the coming year, Chayah Development Project plans to:

  1. Strengthen Financial Resilience – continue diversifying income streams through grants, corporate partnerships, and community fundraising, while working towards building unrestricted reserves.

  2. Expand Community-Led Initiatives – increase opportunities for service users to co-design and lead projects, ensuring programmes remain responsive and empowering.

  3. Develop Social Enterprise Models – pilot small-scale, mission-aligned income-generating activities that can provide sustainable funding while supporting beneficiaries.

  4. Enhance Support for Young People – broaden youth empowerment programmes, focusing on skills development, mentoring, and pathways into training or employment.

  5. Address Social Isolation and Wellbeing – expand intergenerational and mental health support initiatives to reduce loneliness, improve resilience, and promote community cohesion.

  6. Invest in Organisational Capacity – strengthen staff and volunteer training, governance structures, and digital tools to improve efficiency and service quality.

  7. Deepen Partnerships and Collaboration – build stronger relationships with local authorities, statutory bodies, and voluntary sector organisations to increase reach, share resources, and amplify impact.

As a Charity, we remain committed:

  1. To refine and improve governance structure

  2. To preserve our service quality to meet the needs of all our service users and partners

  3. To shape our group’s capability and culture

  4. To grow our brand recognition and infrastructures

  5. To enlarge our partnerships

  6. To advance our financial stability and increase revenue

  7. To constantly improve operational efficacy

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiners

As the charity's Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; It is my responsibility to state on the basis of procedures specified in the general directions given by the charity commissioners under section 43 (7) of the act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the charity commissioners. An examination includes review of accounting records kept by the Trustees and a comparison of accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
