Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Skills Workshop, Coventry, led by Partners&. staff
Working Options supports state school students to transform their career and life chances. Our ambition is to reach all young people in the UK aged 11-19, helping to remove barriers to social mobility and creating a more productive and prosperous society, with more equal access to opportunities.
Many young people struggle to access career breaks and build career and life success. This is often not an issue of talent or potential. The opportunity gap is often due to limited awareness or understanding of career options and a lack of confidence. These barriers perpetuate cycles of untapped potential, low achievement, restricted social mobility, and ultimately inequality. This negatively impacts young people’s futures, the accessible talent pool for business, and overall long-term UK productivity. Almost one million UK young people are currently neither earning nor learning.
This is a waste, in every way.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
In 2024, we launched our Wales Accelerator, generously funded by the Moondance Foundation for 5 years; a new model of delivery which has enabled us to intensify our work across Wales. In 2025, funded by the Connolly Foundation we launched a second regional accelerator in Bedfordshire, the county in which the charity was founded. In 2025 these two accelerators enabled us to reach 14,811 young people (12,476 in Wales and 2,335 in Bedfordshire), with 4 staff deployed across Wales and 1 in Bedfordshire. Regional accelerators are enabling the charity to gather support and gain momentum across local areas. We have invested further time and resources to pursuing this strategy for growth.
Our main achievements in 2025 were reaching 90,000 young people (32,000 with Working Options careers sessions and 58,000 with personal development sessions through our partnership with Inner Spark). We deployed 501 volunteers who gave 597 hours in total to our work. Our team facilitated 702 sessions in-schools (97% were in-person) and in business settings and provided intensive support for 144 young people (mentoring, work experience, internships).
Our digital careers content (TikTok and YouTube) reached 3.5 million young people, achieving 13.7 million views and 125,000 likes, comments and bookmarks.

We gather feedback from teachers following sessions, and in 2025 100% teachers reported that our Skills Workshops helped students to improve their skills (Teamwork Skills, Presentation Skills, Interview Skills, Problem Solving Skills). Our Industry Insight sessions help young people to develop their confidence about careers and their awareness of the skills, qualities and attributes employers look for (89% teachers). Again in 2025, 100% of teachers we worked with said they would recommend Working Options.
Through our interactions with young people, we see clearly the journey they take with us through interacting with our sessions, events and content. Working Options participants build confidence through understanding their options and become comfortable interacting with professionals through our networking events and mentoring. We work closely with teachers to make sure we provide sessions and opportunities that are relevant to each young person's interests.
Our most impactful year ever
This care, together with the support and constructive challenge our team gives students during events and sessions means that students know we have high expectations of them and that engaging with our work will benefit them. During the year we faced new difficulties capturing impact data directly from students, not least because of school mobile phone bans which mean students are not able to access online surveys in-the-moment and highly unlikely to complete them after they have left a session. Improving our impact measurement is a key priority for 2026 as we have strong anecdotal evidence of impact and it is important that we are able to translate that into measurable quantitative evidence.
In 2025 we were delighted to secure additional funding for our work in Wales in the second half of the year from the Moondance Foundation, Cardo Group and Linklaters. This funding enabled us to appoint additional staff to secure school partnerships and onboard more volunteers, and to further scale our staff team for 2026. We have established a mutually beneficial arrangement with Welsh charity STEM Cymru to appoint one of their delivery staff for two days per week in North Wales to help expand our work and ‘buy’ time made available from the end of one of their funding streams. In 2025 we also secured two new high-profile Ambassadors to help us expand our work in Wales. Ex Wales and Lions Rugby player Jonathan Davies joined us as an Ambassador in January, and Lord Carwyn Jones of Penybont joined us over the summer as our Strategic Advisor.

Support from Google.org and Google continues to be hugely significant to our work.
We were delighted to secure a further two years of support from Google.org at the end of the reporting period to support further growth of our work 2026 and 2027. Google hosted a second highly impactful Working Options symposium on The Future of Work in May 2025 and at the end of the year confirmed their support for a third symposium in 2026. Having supported Google's innovative London AI Campus with mentoring delivery in 2025, we were delighted to be asked to extend our support to offer end-to-end mentoring delivery for their campus in 2026.
During Quarter 2 of 2025 we mutually agreed to end our contract with delivery partners Inner Spark. While we have reached a high number of young people through our work with Inner Spark, the partnership was labour intensive and our trustees decided that giving our team 100% focus on arranging careers sessions was the best use of our charitable resources.
During the reporting period, our main challenge was recruiting enough volunteers to place them in sessions requested by schools to achieve our ambitious targets. We are thrilled with the outcome for the year, particularly against a challenging external environment. Our success depends in large part on our ability to onboard enough volunteers and at the end of the year we decided to appoint our first ever Volunteer Manager to drive this growth to meet the demand we are seeing from schools in 2026 and beyond.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
At the end of 2025, the Charity had secured income of £611,627 against expenditure of £561,220, resulting in year end reserves of £138,857.
Reserves Policy Our reserves policy is to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to cover between three and six months of core and project operating costs. Based on our position at year end, our reserves provide coverage for approximately three months of operating expenditure. Our principal funding sources include businesses, which support the key objectives of the charity by providing access to volunteers, event facilities and other support, fundraising (individuals and events) which also serve the purpose of raising the profile of our work, and charitable trusts.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Working Options aims to support every young person in the UK aged 11 to 19 to achieve their potential. Following this reporting period the board intends to continue to grow the reach and impact of our work through digital careers content and in-person sessions delivered in schools and in business settings.
We know that if a young person has four or more quality employer encounters while they are at school, they are 86% less likely to become NEET (not in employment, education or training) at 18. We intend to facilitate as many high-quality interactions with employers for each young person as possible. This means that our ambition is not only to grow our reach, but also the depth of our impact. In 2026 we intend to enhance our impact measurement to assess the impact of this new approach.
To help us achieve this, we will continue to pursue our regional accelerator approach, successfully replicating our Wales Accelerator in new parts of the UK. We are also heavily focused on growing our work within our existing Accelerator regions and securing their sustainability beyond their current funding periods.
We were delighted to secure a further two years of support from Google.org at the end of this reporting period. Funding for 2026 and 2027 will be focused on general growth of our work with a particular focus on taking digital careers content to the next level. We will build our ability to manage and distribute content, increase the number of videos each young person views, and the actions young people take after they have watched our careers videos (e.g. like, comment, bookmark).
Trustees are excited about the coming year and keen to see evidence of impact of the approach to delivering multiple employer encounters as well as ensuring the organisation is geared up for further growth. 4 = 86%
