## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference
|Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|ASKPIP continues to maintain a
partnership with its current
collaborators, who have been
instrumental in providing work
placement opportunities.
We have also launched our animation
programme with the local communities.
We now have a social media officer, a
funding consultant and a web
developer. These professionals have
been contracted and are not direct
employees of the organisation.
The trustees have worked hard to
ensure that the Charity’s governance
remains in the “green” according to the
Charity Excellence Framework.|

## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
|Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|The charity has started offering
services to service users. Some young
people have obtained work placements,
as well as engaging with the animation

|---|---|---|
|Performance of
fundraising activities
against objectives set|Para 1.41|The charity has conducted a number of
fundraising activities using
crowdfunding to provide service users
with free counselling sessions.
However, this was not successful. It
has also applied for grants from the
Cooperative Bank, Morrison’s grant,
and lottery community funds to provide
animation workshops for service users.
The only successful grant application
was the lottery community fund, as well
as Alex Timpson’s foundation.|

## **Financial Review**
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the
end of the period|Para 1.21|At the end of the financial year ending
31stMarch 2025, the charity had total
income of £15,006 and total
expenditure of £5,694. This resulted in
a surplus of £9,312 for the year.
All available funds have been used to
support our charitable activities, and the
charity does not currently hold reserves.
The trustees continue to closely monitor
financial performance to ensure
sustainability and to enable the charity
to deliver its objectives effectively.
The charity remains dependent on
grants, donations, and fundraising
events and is actively seeking to
diversify and strengthen income
streams to support future growth and
stability.
The trustees consider the overall
financial position at year end to be
challenging, and plans are in place to
improve fundraising efforts, manage
costs, and build up reserves for the
future.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity does not currently hold
reserves.
The trustees have considered the
financial position and determined that,
at present, all available funds are being
used to support the delivery of our
charitable activities in line with our
objectives.
The trustees recognise the importance
of building reserves to provide financial
stability and to protect the charity
against unforeseen shortfalls in income
or unexpected expenditure. It is
therefore our intention to develop a
reserves policy and start setting aside
funds when resources allow.
The reserves policy will be reviewed
annually to ensure it remains
appropriate as the charity grows and
develops.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**Not yet**|
|Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|The charity currently holds no reserves.|
|||All available funds are used
immediately to support the delivery of
the charity’s activities and objectives, in
line with its mission to maximise impact
for beneficiaries. Given the current
scale of operations and limited income,
the trustees have prioritised using funds
to deliver services rather than setting
aside reserves.
The trustees recognise the importance
of building reserves in the future to
strengthen the charity’s financial
resilience and ability to respond to
unforeseen challenges. Plans are in
place to develop a reserves policy and
begin building reserves as soon as
income levels allow.|
|---|---|---|
|Details of fund materially
in deficit|Para 1.24|The charity had no funds in deficit at the
end of the financial year.|
|Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a
going concern|Para 1.23|The charity currently operates with very
limited funds and relies on securing
future grant funding and donations to
continue its activities.
The trustees recognise that this
dependence on new funding introduces
some uncertainty regarding the charity’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
However, the trustees are actively
seeking additional grants and funding
opportunities to support the ongoing
delivery of the charity’s objectives and
to improve financial stability.
The trustees remain confident that with
successful fundraising efforts and
careful financial management, the
charity will be able to continue its
operations for the foreseeable future.|

|The charity’s principal
sources of funds

|---|---|---|
|A description of the
principal risks facing the
charity|Para 1.46|The trustees have identified the
following principal risks facing the
charity:
•
**Financial sustainability:**The
charity relies on external grant
funding and donations to carry
out its activities. There is a risk
that future funding may not be
secured, which could impact the
delivery of services. The trustees
are actively seeking new grants
and funding opportunities to
address this.
•
**Dependence on volunteers:**
The charity currently does not
have any paid staff and relies
entirely on the voluntary efforts of
the trustees and the main
operational lead. This creates a
risk should volunteer availability
or capacity reduce. The trustees
are aware of this and are
exploring ways to strengthen
capacity and secure sustainable
funding to potentially introduce
paid roles in the future.
•
**Operational capacity and**
**workload:**With limited volunteer
resources, there is a risk of
overextension, which could affect
service delivery and long-term
sustainability. The trustees
monitor workloads and prioritise
activities to ensure that core
objectives continue to be met.
•
**Reputation and public trust:**
Maintaining public and
stakeholder confidence is vital.
This risk is managed through
transparent reporting, strong
governance practices, and a
commitment to safeguarding and
ethical standards.|

(trust deed, royal charter)|Para 1.25|Constitution Document|
|How is the charity
constituted?
(e.g unincorporated
association, CIO)|Para 1.25|CIO Foundation Constitution|
|Trustee selection
methods including details
of any constitutional
provisions e.g. election to
post or name of any
person or body entitled to
appoint one or more
trustees|Para 1.25|The CEO is responsible for advertising
trustee vacancies through various
public forums to encourage a wide
range of applicants.
Shortlisted candidates are interviewed
by the CEO together with the Chair or
Vice Chair of the board. The final
appointment decision is made
collectively by the CEO and the Chair
or Vice Chair.
If the Chair and/or Vice Chair are
unavailable, the CEO may make an
executive decision regarding the
appointment and will subsequently
inform the board of trustees.
This process ensures that new trustees
are selected based on the skills,
experience, and values needed to
support the charity’s objectives and
governance.|
## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
|Policies and procedures
adopted for the induction
and training of trustees|Para 1.51|New trustees receive an induction to
help them understand the charity’s
work, governance structure, and their
legal and fiduciary responsibilities.
As part of the induction process, new
trustees are provided with an induction
pack that includes links to key policy
documents and guidance, such as:
•
_Trustee Essential Guide_and
_Charity Trustee: What’s Involved_
•
Charity Commission guidance

•
Financial control policy
Trustees also receive copies of the
charity’s governing document, recent
annual reports, and financial
statements. An introductory meeting is
held with the CEO and existing trustees
to discuss the charity’s strategic
priorities and operational context.
Ongoing training and development
needs are reviewed informally, and
trustees are encouraged to attend
external training sessions or seminars
relevant to their role as opportunities
arise.
This comprehensive approach ensures
that trustees are well-informed and
equipped to contribute effectively to the
governance and strategic direction of
the charity.|
|---|---|---|
|The charity’s
organisational structure
and any wider network
with which the charity
works|Para 1.51|The charity is governed by a board of
trustees, who are responsible for overall
strategic direction, governance, and
financial oversight. All trustees serve in
a voluntary capacity.
The charity does not currently have any
paid staff. Operational activities are led
by the CEO, who serves on a voluntary
basis until the charity has sufficient
funds to pay for this role. The CEO is
responsible for day-to-day
management, project delivery, and
implementation of the strategic
objectives set by the board.
The charity maintains collaborative
relationships with local community
groups, partner organisations, and
funding bodies to support its objectives
and extend its reach. While not formally
part of a wider network, the charity
actively engages with other
organisations and stakeholders to share|
|||learning, build partnerships, and
improve outcomes for beneficiaries.
This structure allows the charity to
remain flexible and responsive while
ensuring strong governance and
accountability.|
|---|---|---|
|Relationship with any
related parties|Para 1.51|One of the trustees is a family member
of the CEO.
This relationship has been declared and
is managed in accordance with the
charity’s conflict of interest policy to
ensure transparency and uphold good
governance.
All decisions are made collectively by
the board of trustees, and the family
relationship does not influence
independent decision-making
processes.|
