Our Aims and Objectives

Purposes and Aims

Our charity's purpose, as set out in the objectives contained in the charity’s constitution, is to facilitate relief and support for challenged children and young people between the ages of 8 — 25 years old, including their families, carers and support networks. We do this primarily through using the integrative arts in therapy and education.

We aim to:

Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up for.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we have 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 aims, 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 aims 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.

The focus of our work

A great many young people suffer from poor mental health and experience problems such as social isolation, depression and anxiety. Therefore, our objective is to continue to help these vulnerable young people and their families to feel more engaged and less isolated. Arts for Life continues to support families experiencing a mental health crisis,

helping to prevent community disengagement, anti-social behavior and co-morbid conditions.

The strategies we use to meet these objectives include:

How our activities deliver public beneft

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below.

All our charitable activities focus on the reduction in social isolation & community disengagement, and the risks of mental health crisis in young people aged 8 — 25 years. Our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Who uses and benefted from our services?

Participants are 8-25 year olds who have social, emotional, behavioural & communication challenges.

Our participant numbers over the period 2023 – 2024 continued to grow. This, as well as the increased needs of participants, has lead us to further expand our staff and volunteers, as well as our service days.

In 2023 – 2024, the charity continued to support the families and siblings of

participants. This was through our "stay and chat" cafe where we have a parent/carer support worker, as well as through talks and parent/family well-being sessions.

Our services and beneft

Our services provide a vital role within the community, supporting young people between 6-25 years and their families who find themselves on the margins of society due to mental health challenges, learning challenges and special educational needs.

Our services offer both grant-funded spaces and paid-for spaces, and are

means-tested to offer the service to the wider community.

Through the therapeutic value of the creative arts, Arts for Life has made a

significant difference in the lives of many challenged youngsters.

What our users say:

Age 10

I really enjoy arts 4 life because I feel safe around everyone there. Everyone tries to make it enjoyable for me. I have a lot of friends there.

I have a lot of anxiety and being in the centre with you all has been great as you have all helped me and supported me in trying to conquer my anxiety.

This has really helped me a lot and I want it to stay this way. I have a lot of good times and have made a lot of happy memories.

I have a lot of trust in the adults that take care of me and others whilst we are together. I would be lost without Arts 4 Life and the lovely humans who make it fun and awesome.

Age 12

Hi, my name is Freya and on a Wednesday I go to arts for life. I love arts for life it defiantly helps me with a lot of things. I feel safe at arts for life. It helps me calm down and relax. When I am at arts for life I feel like all of the weight is taken of my shoulders. When I was in year 4 I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. When I am at arts for life I feel safe to talk about it and tell the staff there about things that maybe I don’t feel I can talk to with my friends. At arts for life I have made many pieces of art I feel really proud of myself. All this art has told me that even with dyslexia anything is possible. The staff are really kind and so are all the children.

At arts for life, I have made art with paint, glue, pens, pencils and even a special mixture involving hand gel! I am soooooooo glad I found arts for life, and now I hope to stay and make more amazing work and art.

Age 17 - Creative Crew & Volunteer

“Before I joined arts for life I felt lost and thought I had no direction and no one to talk to. I struggled with my feelings and emotions so much that it was affecting my social life and my mental health. I was scared to express myself and wasn’t sure how to. At arts for life Beth and others helped me realise that my feelings were perfectly normal and that arts for life was a safe space to express them, they also helped me understand why I was feeling a certain way and what I could do to make me feel better or what a safe way to express myself could look like. I have suffered so many awful things and being adopted has been something that I have never been able to understand. In my new family I then had to deal with my Dad being an alcoholic and abusing me and my mum and now I don’t get on with her well. I did try to go to CAHMS but it didn’t work for me, then I started Therapy with Debbie as well as going to Creative Crew and this really has helped me grow in so many ways. I am now back at school, I got 4 GCSE’s which is mad as I thought I was going to end up in jail at one point as the police were always called to come to find me when I ran away.

Now I’m nearly 18 and have a much better understanding of my feelings and emotions than I did when I first started. I can now safely express my emotions and understand

why I felt the way I did. It has helped me a lot mentally, emotionally and has had a very positive impact on my social life too. I know it sounds lame but arts for life have literally saved my life. Now I help out once a week and sometimes I see myself in some of the children and I can support them because I was like them too a few years ago.”

PARENT

Our family have been involved with Arts for Life for two years. I write our family because, although it’s our daughter who attends weekly sessions, the support reaches beyond a weekly art session. Beth and the team are undoubtedly always with us to support us and to make us feel heard, seen, and most importantly, not judged. It has been a lifeline at some difficult moments.

Our daughter has been able to navigate burnout through the gentle, caring environment of Arts for Life. She looks forward to the hour per week when she can be herself and is accepted for that. She is made to feel welcome, valued and part of the team. Her strengths are seen. She has produced some fabulous pieces of art which allow her a sense of success and the feeling of achievement.

For many families like ours, it can be a frightening and lonely journey to navigate the challenges of managing a child with a neurodiverse presentation. Arts for Life is such an incredible resource in enabling families to feel supported and reassured and we are very grateful to have had this support for the past few years

Financial Review

Arts For Life Project continued to see an increase in the demand for services and an extension of services to the community.

The charity continues to grow and source additional funds to cover the increase in need and our developing services. With the aid of sound financial

management and the support of its board, staff and volunteers, the charity has had a very good year. Net surplus after operating expenses dipped slightly from £76,434 to £68,988. However, this still leaves the charity in a strong financial position with total equity increasing from £127,164 in 2023 to £196,152 in 2024

Reserves Policy

The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of its main risks. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Board of Trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable incorporated organisation, incorporated on 9 April 2019. The charity was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the charity.

Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. All members of the Board of Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Trustee Induction and Training

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity

through volunteering at activities and fundraising events.

New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend an induction session to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees continues to review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This forms part of our strategy plan and the risk register is reviewed at every trustee board meeting. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures and policies are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre. These are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

Organisational Structure

The Arts For Life Project has a Board of Trustees of 6 members who meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the board has members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity. A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rests with the Chair of Trustees along with the Directors. The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met, along with the responsibility for the day to day operational management of the Centre, 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.

Responsibilities of the Management Committee Company law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 relating to small entities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT 31 MARCH 2024

1. Accounting policies

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The trustees anticipate that there will be sufficient unrestricted reserves for the charity to continue as a going concern and therefore the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. The accounts have been prepared on the historic cost basis.

Funds

Funds held by the charity are either:

 Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

 Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.

 Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income has been met, it is probable that income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Such income is only deferred when:  The donor specifies that the grant or donation must be used in future accounting periods, or

 The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.

Income from commercial trading activities is recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided).

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Interest receivable

Interest is included when receivable by the charity.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Support costs include back office costs, personnel and payroll.

Arts for Life Project (UK) COMPANY NO: CE017121 CHARITY NO: 1182882

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT 31 MARCH 2024

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the income and expenditure account.

Redundancy costs

Following the accrual accounting methodology, liabilities for redundancy and termination payments are recognised when the obligation to make the payment arises and not when the payments are made.

Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory accounts and legal fees.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised at cost and depreciated so as to write them off over their anticipated useful lives at the following annual rates, commencing in the year of acquisition:

Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% straight line Computer and office equipment 25% straight line

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Tax

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

Legal status

Arts for Life UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is registered with the charities comission

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charitable accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
