Prevent 2 Protect Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 2 December 2025

Objectives and Activities

Our charity exists to improve the safety, wellbeing, and life chances of children and young people across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, with a particular focus on communities in Salford, Bolton, Hulme and surrounding areas.

We deliver trauma-informed, lived-experience workshops that build emotional literacy, challenge harmful myths, and strengthen safeguarding awareness for pupils, teachers, and wider school communities.

Our work centres on early intervention. We equip young people with the skills to recognise unsafe situations, identify trusted adults, and make positive choices. We also support schools to embed preventative safeguarding approaches that are culturally competent, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of their pupils.

During the year, we delivered workshops across primary, secondary and PRU settings, adapting content for age, context, and school priorities. Sessions included themes such as Grooming, friendships, tricky choices, safety, consent, Knife Crime, County Lines Exploitation and recognising unsafe behaviour.

All delivery was underpinned by robust safeguarding practice and lived-experience insight.

Achievements and Performance

This year we continued to grow our reach and deepen our impact. Across all schools, pupils demonstrated measurable improvements in their understanding of safety, confidence in identifying trusted adults, and ability to challenge harmful stereotypes.

Key achievements included:

Public Benefit

Our activities directly support the Charity Commission’s public benefit requirements by:

All workshops are delivered free of charge to schools, ensuring equitable access regardless of budget constraints.

Structure, Governance, and Management Compassion

The charity is overseen by a board of trustees who provide strategic direction, financial oversight, and safeguarding governance. Trustees meet regularly to review performance, risk, and compliance. Safeguarding remains central to our governance. All staff and volunteers receive annual safeguarding training, and our safeguarding policy is reviewed and updated each year. We maintain clear procedures for responding to disclosures, recording concerns, and liaising with designated safeguarding leads in schools.

We also continue to strengthen our evaluation framework, ensuring that our impact reporting is transparent, consistent, and aligned with funder expectations.

Financial Review

The charity remains financially stable, with income generated through grants and donations. All funds were used to support the delivery of workshops, development of new resources, staff training, and ongoing evaluation. We remain committed to ensuring that every pound spent contributes directly to improving outcomes for children and young people.

Plans for the Future

In the coming year, we aim to:

1 Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective 1st January 2019, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

1.2 Funds structure

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 11 restricted funds.

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 11.

1.3 Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

1.4 Expenditure Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note 1.6.

1.5 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Page 9

Prevent 2 Protect Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 02 December 2025

1.6 Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support 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 independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on type of expense. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 7.

1.7 Costs of raising funds

The costs of raising funds consists of events, publicity and sponsorship.

1.8 Charitable Activities

Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 5.

1.9 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

1.10 Realised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial

1.11 Pensions

The charity operates an auto ‑ enrolment pension scheme. The charity has no liability beyond paying its contributions and collecting employees’ contributions.

1.12 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Page 10

Prevent 2 Protect Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 02 December 2025

1.13 Creditors and provisions

13 Going Concern

The charity's main source of income is grant funding and investment income. The trustees consider, having regard to reserves that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if the funding income should cease.
