The Mayor of Cheltenham Launching Mayor’s Charities 2025/6

@The Rock – Charity Registration Number: 1190651 Trustees’ Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 August 2025

Overview: ‘Growth in Challenging Times’

2024/5 has been a year of growth and innovation in a period of increasing challenge. Our work has increased significantly in breadth; this year engaging with 1,875 individual young people across all of our work (this is an 80% increase from 2023/4). The quality of our work was recognised as we won awards for our Young Leadership and Educational Engagement Work at the No Child Left Behind Awards 2025. The Rock was also selected as one of the Mayor of Cheltenham’s charities from May 2025.

We are always amazed by the creativity, enthusiasm and mutual encouragement which young people display, but recognise the increasing need for support, especially around wellbeing and engagement in education. To meet these challenges The Rock has adopted the strategic priorities of agility, partnership and sustainability . The Rock continues to innovate, for example, successfully developing more in schools support and establishing detached youth work as a valued part of our offering. The Rock continues to strengthen its partnership working – especially through the No Child Left Behind network. In an extremely challenging funding environment the Rock has diversified income streams to strengthen The Rock’s sustainability.

As one member of school staff commented: ‘Thanks so much for everything you've been doing with [him]. He is honestly a transformed character at school.’

Young Leaders Residential

Objectives

To act as a resource for children and young people especially the marginalised, dis-enfranchised and excluded; and the residents of Gloucestershire, in particular (but without limitation), the residents of the Cheltenham Borough Council wards of St Peter’s, St Paul’s and Swindon Village (as those wards constituted on 31 March 2020); by providing advice and assistance and by organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:

A) Advancing in life by virtue of developing skills, capabilities and capacities which will enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;
B) Advancing education;
C) Relieving unemployment through the development of transferable skills to better equip them for future employment;
D) Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty, or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons;
E) Advancing the Christian religion.

Activities

The Rock combines daytime Educational Support with leisure time Community Youth Work and wider Community Engagement. This combination of referred support and optional involvement by young people ensures a wide range of engagement and the opportunity for sustained support. The Rock’s work is increasingly valuable in providing an experience of community amidst rising levels of isolation and mental health challenges. Whilst having an excellent central hub, The Rock is increasingly engaging flexibly off-site to meet local need.

The Trustees are aware of and consider the need to provide a demonstrable public benefit to honour the Rock’s charitable status. The programmes and facilities offered will continue to develop more selfconfident, capable and resilient young people for the benefit of themselves and the wider community. The Rock’s services are open to all young people in the area, with special consideration for the most disadvantaged (evidenced by activities being very low cost or free).

Report 2nd Accounts Year Ended 31 August 2025

Financial Review The accounts show a surplus of 137,558. Income from youth work contra¢rs and education services were well ahead of budget this year. which allowed us to generate a surplus. The unpredictable timing and amounts of grant funding is also a contributing factor in the move between Il year's deficit and this year's surplu5. We have seen increases in staffing costs as a result of wage rises. responding to cost-of-living pressures. The Rock has taken action co review staffing Costs whilst seeking to maintain pay rate5 at no less than the Real Living Wage. The Trustees seek to balince the need for a skilled and suszainable workforce and the continuity of provision for young people with continued funding pressures. Overall, expenditure was Slightly below budget this year. We are very grdteful for all the individuals and fvnders who have supported our vrk. We are parri¢ularly appreciative tsf eommitted ongoing financial suppor¢ as it is clear that the environment for canvassing and receiving grants and other fijnding has become much more challensing, not least because of the much-discus5ed inflationary pressures. Whilst income vras strong from youth work and edu¢ation sernices during 2024125, we are aware of the pressures on funding on those coniractyng our services. We corbtinue to explore diverse models In order to meet the increasing needs of young people in effective and sustainable vrdys. Reserves Policy It is the poliq of the Charity to maintain general reserves at a level which will enable it to securely plan its programrne for young people. This is estimated to be equivalent to six month$, opernting costs. As at 31 August 2025. the Rock had total reserve5 of £123.709 {including £13,669 of restricted fund5) with estimated 5ix-month running cosrs in 2025126 of £160.000. Therefore, the re5erYes are below rhe rargeted level. but the reserves have increased during 2024125 and the use of reserves during 2023124 allowed The Rock to remain committed to investing in a consistent youth work team, and to sustaining all its community youth work projecrs. Risk Management The Trustees reco£ni5e that there is a Ydriety of risk inherent in the activities of the charity and have Implemented a risk management policy to help mtnimise the risks. The key areas of risk identified by the charity are finance, property, staffing, safety, cyber secur¢ty and safeguarding. The Trustees have implemented policies and procedures that they consider are appropriate for the management of these risks.

Accounting policies

For the year to 31 August 2025

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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The Rock meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments. There has been no change in the accounting policies (valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.

Incoming resources

Donations are recognised when received. Legacies are recognised when there is reasonable certainty as to both entitlement and amount. Grants are generally included in the financial statements when received, to ensure that there is reasonable certainty as to both entitlement and amount. However, in cases where the grant relates to a specific project, it is recognised when the project expenditure takes place. Interest and dividends are included in the financial statements when received. Contractual income is recognised once the contracted services have been delivered.

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Depreciation

Depreciation on equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis at annual rates estimated to write off the assets over their respective expected useful lives, as follows:

Office, IT & AV equipment	3 years	Telephone equipment	3 years
Vehicles	3 years	Office furniture	3 years
Skate park equipment	5 years	Property improvements	5 years

Small items are expensed rather than held as an asset and depreciated on the grounds of materiality.
