Achievements & Performance

What a wonderful 12 months it has been. We spent quite a while getting 144 ready to move in and started visiting over the summer of 2022 to ensure the young people got used to coming to a new building. They were able to witness the changes to the interior as the months went by and loved visiting to see these changes. Some of our young adults struggle with change so it was good for them to accept the changes as and when they happened.

OUR GORGEOUS PARENTS AND SOME WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH US FOR MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR OUR BIG MOVE. WHAT A FABULOUS TEAM!! Parents painting team starting painting 144 on 18[th] June.

- Covid 19 Updates

We seem to still be seeing cases of Covid-19 but thankfully everyone is now vaccinated so serious illness has been avoided. We are hoping for another vaccination booster in the Autumn of 2023.

– 144 High Street Refurbishments

There has been a lot of refitting being done at the new property. As discussed last year, we have had a new toilet block with a changing bay with hoist and changing bed, a single disabled toilet and male and female toilets. We have a new kitchen where life skills cooking takes place every day. An upcycle room, a textiles room, a sensory room and a multi-use classroom. Each room has new furniture which has been a slow process subject to funding coming in.

Our New Upcycle Workshop

Our upcycle room is a wonderful space where our young people can use a variety of tools. They absolutely love putting on their overalls, gloves, goggles and visors where needed (PPE) They have taken PC’s apart for repair, made bird boxes and bug hotels and upcycled a variety of furniture which has been donated by our families. In the future they will be making new products from wood and also upcycling old furniture which has been donated to us to then sell on.

Our new textiles room is a place where lots of creativity goes on. The young people make products once they’ve researched and found ways to make what they want. They then set about making it and then pricing it up ready for sale in our shop.

WORK IS STILL CONTINUING IN OUR GIFT & COFFEE SHOP

The front of house is going to be a gift & coffee shop and after securing some funding from the landfill trust, work started in January. New counters were installed, a kitchen area and a fully accessible toilet/changing room for the public to use, with a ceiling hoist was installed. Although this space is still ongoing, we are hopeful that one day it will open to the public and out young adults will gain wonderful work experience working in there. In the meantime, we will put tables and chairs in position and continue with the role play they need to prepare them for this role.

Employability & Young Adults on Work Placement

Due to the pandemic our employability programme had to stop and due to the vulnerability of our young adults, picking it back up was not an easy option. We extended some funding through the National Lottery so that we could practice employability inside our premises and not put our young adults in harms way. We bought some role play items, a till etc. The young people had to research a new product, then find out how to create it, then make it and pretend to sell it in a real-life shop environment. This has helped them a great deal to prepare for when we have our own shop at the front of our new premises.

– DPD fundraising campaign 2022

DPD decided to choose us as their charity of the year due to one of our young adults having an aunt down south who had a very close friend who was manager of transport who had mentioned to her on a walk that he needed to choose a charity. She explained that Laura, her niece came to Vision25 in Stockton-on-Tees. That was it – we were chosen. The transport team carried out many events at their end.

Here is an extract from their newsletter.

- Latest updates in 144 High Street The Year Ahead

In the coming year our priority is to get the front of house finished. The gift & coffee shop need new tables and chairs and all equipment installing to ensure we can offer a first-rate service to our customers. Our young people will have been practicing in there over the coming months ready for real customers.

The gift shop will sell merchandise bought from wholesalers plus some of the products will be items made by hand by our young adults. They will have a full section in the gift shop with their products. We also intend to rent a space in the shop window as a pop-up shop for local sellers which will generate an income towards the paying of staff to support our young people in their retail roles. house.

Our charity is growing at a speedy rate and our waiting list continues to grow. Our staff team is also growing to meet the needs of our new service users.

Our charity shop which is a small space within a larger shop will hopefully continue to thrive so we can gain a shop on the high street so that customers can see us as they pass rather than come looking for us.

We are hoping to set up a bedsit inside the premises so that the young people can learn crucial life skills in their ‘preparing for adulthood’ sessions.

Financial review

The results for the period are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities in the accounts. The accounts for the year show a deficit of £25,912.

The reserves stand at £72,418, £69,418 being unrestricted funds with free reserves of £59,825.

Reserves Policy

The trustee’s aim is to expend all funds on their charitable objects; however, they recognise the need to maintain a certain level of reserves as a cushion against possible future difficulties. Free reserves at the level of 6 months running costs would allow the charity to continue its operations while alternative funding sources were sought.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of VISION25

Year ended 31 May 2023

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required 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:

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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view’, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

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:

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Equipment - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
