TRUSTEES' REPORT

For the Year Ended 30 September 2025

Introduction

The Trustees are pleased to present the Trustees' Report for The Javan Coker Foundation for the year ended 30 September 2025.

The Javan Coker Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), together with their families and carers. Throughout the year, the Foundation continued to deliver high-quality, inclusive programmes that promoted wellbeing, confidence, independence, inclusion and community participation.

Despite increasing demand for services and the ongoing financial pressures affecting the voluntary sector, the Foundation remained resilient, continuing to expand its reach through strong partnerships, dedicated volunteers and the generous support of our funders.

Our Mission

To empower children and young people with disabilities and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), together with their families, to reach their full potential through inclusive programmes, advocacy, education and community-driven support.

Our Objectives

The charity exists to advance public benefit by:

Relieving the needs of children and young people with disabilities and additional needs while supporting their families, carers and wider support networks.
Promoting equality, inclusion and independence for children and young people with SEND.
Reducing social isolation through inclusive activities, family support and community engagement.
Providing education, advocacy and practical support to improve outcomes for children and families.

Our Impact 2024–2025

Throughout the year, the Foundation continued to make a positive difference to children, young people and families across our communities.

Our programmes enabled participants to build confidence, develop friendships, improve social skills and enjoy safe, inclusive opportunities that many families would otherwise struggle to access.

Parents and carers benefited from practical advice, peer support and wellbeing activities, helping to reduce social isolation and improve family resilience.

The Foundation also continued to strengthen relationships with local authorities, schools, community organisations and health professionals to ensure families received holistic and coordinated support.

The Trustees wish to thank the organisations whose generous support enabled the charity to continue delivering its services during the year.

Our sincere thanks go to:

We also thank our individual donors, community supporters and volunteers whose contributions continue to make our work possible.

Volunteers

The Foundation continues to be supported by a dedicated team of 31 volunteers who contribute their skills, time and experience across all areas of the organisation.

Their commitment enables the Foundation to deliver safe, high-quality services and create lasting positive outcomes for children, young people and families.

Challenges

Demand for our services continued to increase throughout the year as more families sought specialist SEND support.

Like many charities, we experienced rising operational costs, increasing financial pressures and growing demand for unrestricted funding. Despite these challenges, the Foundation continued to develop innovative programmes and maintain high standards of service delivery through effective partnership working and volunteer support.

Continued growth of our inclusive community programmes.
• Expansion of Safe Space for SEND.
Continued development of SEND Siblings Care.
Growth of Safe Space for Dads.
Successful delivery of Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes.
• Delivery of the Children & Young People's Conference.
Continued investment in volunteer training and safeguarding.
Strengthened partnerships across the statutory and voluntary sectors.

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under Charity law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the profit or loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
