TRUSTEES REPORT

The objects of the Breaking Barriers Building Bridges are:

To advance in life and relieve needs of young people within Nottinghamshire and its border counties through:
a. The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life;
b. Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
The relief of those in need by reason of old age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

We support young people, their families, and women who are marginalised because of their differences and vulnerabilities, especially those viewed as challenging or difficult to engage with. Within each person’s journey, we aim to raise their cultural, personal and spiritual awareness supporting them to reach their full potential, as well as helping the target group to sustain healthy appropriate relationships with family, partners and friends and become citizens that are more active.

The service we provide is holistic, as we focus on the person and their family - we look at the person’s home life, school/ work life, peers, education, training, employment and housing needs along with social activity. We recognise that each person is different and unique, so we tailor-make a package for each individual. We do this through a range of services including weekly football and youth group sessions, other sporting activities, street outreach, coffee mornings, one to one and group mentoring, and through social media contact, phone calls and video chats.

Public Benefit

The public benefits that flow from our purposes are: (a) an enhanced quality of life and sense of well-being through engagement with and participation in activities and events that bring people together, leading to improvements in physical and emotional well-being, quality of life and a more stable and cohesive community; (b) increased opportunities to engage in new activities

that bring people together, leading to greater social cohesion and fulfilment; (c) enhanced active citizenship and involvement in community life.

The trustees can confirm that the work of Breaking Barriers Building Bridges meets the charity commission definition of Public Benefit.

Projects delivered throughout 2022-2023 financial and reporting year.

Detached Youth Work – City Centre

Our City Centre Street Outreach project is the largest single project delivered by Breaking Barriers Building Bridges and is funded through the Violence Reduction Partnership who bring together partners including Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID) along with Nottingham Forest Community Trust and ourselves to have a team of experienced youth workers within the city centre 5 days a week.

The team have built trust with many young people who come through the city centre on their route from school to home. Many young people come together in groups and sometimes this can lead to tensions between different groups and we work to de-escalate potential violent situations. Our work often focuses on de-escalation between groups of young people, helping young people and young adults to understand the consequences of getting involved in criminality. The key to success is the

positive relationship built – no two days are the same.

Our detached outreach team is based on creating initial engagement. We have effectively used this to prevent and deter young people and young adults from being involved in violence and criminal behaviour. Breaking Barriers Building Bridges have successfully developed, delivered and maintained a detached youth work model in Nottingham City Centre taking a highly effective public health approach.

Blue Light (Detached Youth Work - Neighbourhoods)

This project sees a team of youth workers across different neighbourhoods in Nottingham that are identified through Nottinghamshire Police as hotspots for youth anti-social behaviour. Once an area has been identified our team of youth workers walk around the area in the evenings to develop relationships with young people, local agencies and

small businesses. The work currently moves to a new neighbourhood every 3 months as we are continuously directed by police and city council intelligence.

Detached youth work is engaging where young people chose to meet. Detached youth work is planned in consultation with young people to ensure that it really meets their needs. We seek to empower, politicise and support young people within their community (neighbourhoods). The main aim of this work is to engage with the local community and young people that choose not to attend, or do not know where youth clubs and community centres are and therefore are not engaged with established local provision. We will engage and divert the young people we meet to local services in the area where they live or congregate with their peers/friendship group. We seek to identify local issues and help the local community to have their voices heard via local residents meetings, central locality meetings etc.

Divert Plus

The mentees on this programme have been referred from the Youth Offending Team (YOT), Social Workers or Police who refer young people who have been involved in the youth justice system.

This work funded a programme of mentoring which was delivered by a specialist youth worker who had established expertise in mentoring programmes. The mentoring was often on a 1-2-1 basis with young people, who would share their challenges and they would develop with the youth worker a mentoring plan to help them develop

skills and confidence to achieve the outcomes that they wanted help to progress towards. This was often based on education and training and was targeted at young people who were becoming disaffected with mainstream education and were facing exclusion (temporary or permanent, or were already within the Pupil Referral Units provision). We also worked on the basis of helping the young people to explore choices and consequences which helped them make more positive choices and aimed to remove young people from the criminal justice system.

Mentoring

As well as the Divert Plus project, we also provided both 1-2-1 and group mentoring which was part of our Reaching Communities funded project where young people are either referred from an external partner or referred themselves. We have worked with young people aged 11-25 years old within our mentoring provision. We focus on helping young people and young adults and diverting them away from negative influences such as violence, youth offending, knife crime etc. Our focus was to help provide young people and young adults with opportunities to help each person achieve their full potential.

Our mentoring helps young people to identify their aims and aspirations in life, and then guiding and supporting them to plan a path for their ambitions. Many young people who engage with us have experienced poverty that can often limit what they believe as reasonable expectations of themselves. Our mentoring is aimed at raising their aspirations and providing a positive

role model to see they have more opportunities than they might have previously expected of themselves.

The focus of our group mentoring was more around choices and consequences and we delivered workshops within this theme with the aim of diverting as many young people as possible from the criminal justice system. We worked on helping young people to understand the negative impacts of having a police or criminal record, in terms of when they mature and are looking for paid employment or building other aspects of a purposeful life. The results of these sessions included feedback such as:

if I didn’t have the mentoring, I wouldn’t have anybody to help navigate where I wanted to go as I struggled to know what opportunities in life were available to me.

Another young person said:

Mentoring helped me have someone independent I could speak to, that helped me understand consequences of negative pathways for me and encouraged me to make positive choices that will impact the rest of my life.

Youth Club

Every Wednesday evening we hold a youth club session at Radford Methodist Church where we have full use of the centre. Young people can come from 6:30pm through to 8:30pm. The group has been running for the last 10 years since we first formed as a youth charity because of lack of youth provision in Nottingham.

Putting young people at the heart of our work, our services are very much youth led. Young people are at the centre of our organisation, ensuring their voices are listened to at all times. We offer centre based activities with opportunities for 1-2-1 work with young people and the youth workers. Also if the young people identify need for other services such as counselling, bereavement support, mental health advice etc we will also signpost and refer young people to the most appropriate service available.

The group will plan and organise specific trips and activities they want to undertake with the youth workers, they will play football on the school grounds opposite the church, or just hang out and play board games, table tennis, table football etc. The session also buys in refreshments for the young people so anyone who attends will get a free hot meal. This project has been funded by Castle Cavendish as part of the Area Based Grant.

Friday Football Sessions

We provide a weekly Friday evening of football kickabout on the 3G pitches at Forest Recreation Ground between 6pm – 8pm. We have around 50-80 young people attend this each week. Football has the ability to engage many young people and positively impact many young lives. Our Friday evening sessions bring together many young people from all over the city. For 2 hours no matter where you come from you can take part in this session. We have young people from all postcodes, all faiths and all backgrounds.

Holiday Activity Fund

We have been funded by Nottingham City Council to provide Holiday Activity Fund support for young people who are eligible for free school meals during school holidays. We provide youth club type activities from Radford Methodist Church or at Forest Recreation Ground 4 days a week for three weeks during the summer holidays, and one week during Christmas, Easter and October half term. We provide 4-hour sessions, 4 days a week over a Monday – Friday each week.

Delivering activities such as football, centre based youth work and sometimes trips we are able to engage a high number of young people. All attendees at these sessions also receive a nutritious hot meal therefore ensuring they do not go hungry during school holidays. We regularly see around 80 young people attend some of our sessions which is testament to the value young people

place on our activities. We also received young people at these sessions from all postcodes around Nottingham City.

Anecdotal feedback we have received from the local community is that these sessions are highly valued as it means all the young people who attend are able to continue to get a hot meal during school holidays but it also critically provides positive activity that keeps young people off the streets and therefore reduces reports of anti-social behaviour in neighbourhoods across Nottingham.

Social Media

We have very active response to social media posts whereby young people can reach out to us through Instagram. Our Instagram channel is monitored outside of working hours and we aim to respond as soon as possible. Our use of social media sets us apart from other organisations as it enables us to provide a response very quickly and as a result of gaining confidence of young people we are able to prevent many incidents from escalating. Indeed, the use of social media to alert us to issues demonstrates the trust we have established with young people across the city.

Young people use this platform to reach out to us, i.e. for support, advice or guidance. We also use this platform to advertise what we do or to reach out to young people in the community.

Adult Support Work

Our CEO also provides additional support work for adults such as being an advocate for the service user. This can include help accessing benefits, supporting parents when children are facing exclusion from school, as well as being an “Appropriate Adult” role for adults who are deemed as needing support during interviews with the police etc.

Women’s Support Work

Our CEO, Maxine Cockett provides individual support to women who are vulnerable and need support to access benefits, services they need such as housing, education, Domestic Abuse support, support to open a bank account, helping to access women’s refuge accommodation, helping to access social housing, reporting repairs issues to landlords, accessing universal credit etc. Maxine has supported over 75 women over this financial year.

Many women are referred from other women who have benefited from advice and support, or self-referred, or referred from a number of agencies in Nottingham. The support is provided for a short-term engagement through to ongoing longer needs which can span over several years. Maxine can visit the woman at home, in a neutral place in the city, or at the Cubo office, which is an accessible safe space for meetings.

Maxine also previously taught the Freedom Programme and this has enabled her to have a wider network to refer women into for any specialist support needed that is outside of her capacity or experience.

Coffee Morning

We hold a weekly coffee morning that is attended by 10-15 people each week on a Thursday morning which was funded by Peoples Health Trust initially. The group have group discussions, arts & crafts, chair exercise sessions etc and the activities are led by the interests of the attendees. The group also decide on additional activities such as river cruise on the river Trent, a visit to Skegness, as well as theatre visits for plays that local Radford residents are interested in attending. This group has been meeting for over 15 years now (initially it was provided by another local charity, but Breaking Barriers Building Bridges took this over when the other charity closed down). The group is very diverse, with people from different faith and ethnic groups attending. The group has asked if we can extend this provision to 2 mornings a week to help them overcome isolation and build a stronger community together which we are hoping to be able to provide in 2024 and beyond.

One of the attendees of the coffee morning said he comes each week, giving him a chance to come out of the house and meet people. He said he has

made great friends and connections through the coffee morning group. Another participant described the group as “being like a family, as I don’t have my own”. We also support people with claiming benefits that often people didn’t know about such as Personal Independence Payment or helping them to access Universal Credit etc. The staff member who runs the group will also call or visit if anyone doesn’t attend to ensure they are safe and well.

Partnership Working

We work closely with a range of partners including the Violence Reduction Unit, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, Nottinghamshire Police, Nottingham College, Castle Cavendish, Nottingham Women’s Centre, Al-Hurraya, Take 1 Studios, Nottingham Forest Community Trust and Nottingham Trent University (who researched and wrote a substantial report on the impact of our detached youth work in Nottingham City – https:// tinyurl.com/4n64pj8n).

We thank all our partners and funders for their support, which is vital to enabling us to achieve the results we do for many young people, young adults, women and older adult citizens who engage in our projects in Nottingham city.

Governance

Breaking Barriers Building Bridges has a board of trustees that meets on a quarterly basis to review the charities strategy, finances, governance and policies. They work diligently to ensure that the charity continues to evolve but

remains committed to our objectives of providing high quality youth and community development projects, to meet the needs of the citizens of Nottingham.

Induction of Trustees

We are planning on bringing new trustees into the CIO in the coming months and as part of this work we will be developing a trustee induction process. We will be speaking with new trustees to make them aware of the Charity Commission guidance for trustees (CC3), the small charities governance guide and ensuring they are aware of our constitution, as well as core policies to ensure we are equipping them with the information needed to completely fulfil their duties as trustees. As part of this we will also be offering new trustees training through Nottingham CVS so they are fully equipped in terms of their roles as charity trustees.

Policy on Reserves

We would like to get to a position of holding at least three months of running costs in reserves to cover gaps between funding. At current levels this would be around £66,250 and we currently have around £45,830 in general reserve. We have to date been very dependent on grant funding which is largely restricted to specific activities. We are however planning on speaking with funders to see whether any of our projects could be paid as a contract or unrestricted grant to give us more flexibility going forwards.

Statement of trustees’

Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent

Examiner’s Report

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Breaking Barriers Building Bridges

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Breaking Barriers Building Bridges (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Breaking Barriers Building Bridges 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 notes.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Furniture and equipment	20% straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other shortterm highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
