Achievements against
objectives set
Para 1.41 Our mentoring service has supported in
advancing life and relieving the needs of
young people by developing skills, raising
aspirations, confidence and self-esteem.
Our mentoring, during 2024, has helped
young people to advance in education and
supported with the educational gap as we
provided support during the school
holidays. Our mentoring also helped
young people transition from school to
college, we provided travel training to those
with anxiety and challenges to increase
confidence. Mentoring also supports young
people to advance in life by relieving the
needs of young people by developing skills
(both vocationally and socially), capacities
(by reaching life skills and social skills as
well as educational and work-based skills)
and capabilities (by providing life changing
opportunities which support to broaden
experiences.
Our counselling service has supported the
mental health and wellbeing of young
people in our community. Positive mental
health supports young people advance in
other aspects of life and our counselling
programmes have created positive long-
term outcomes for young people.
Our food support service has expanded to
better support our community in relieving
unemployment and promoted social
inclusion for the public benefit by working to
prevent young people from becoming
socially excluded.

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 In the 12 months to 31stDecember 2024,
the charity had a total income of £138,547
and expenditure of £128,486.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 Given our objectives of supporting young
people reach their potential through holistic
support services, our reserves policy aims
to ensure our work is protected from the
risk of disruption at short notice due to lack
of funds, whilst at the same time ensuring
we do not retain income for longer than
required.
We have based our projections for the
appropriate number of reserves we require
on the basis of estimated running costs for
3 months. However, we operate on a model
which makes no financial commitment
until funding is secured, therefore, our risk
is relatively low in terms of an unforeseen
drop in income. Therefore, our reserves
policy outlines the exceptions allowed for
going below our reserves if spending is
required for unforeseen maintenance costs.
