In response, we partnered with Child and Young Person's Therapist. Sophie Ibbott, to pilot an early intervention one-to-one therapeutic support programme. initially funded by the Bedford Rotary Club. What began as a small-scale initiative in early 2020 has since become a vital part of our seNice. offering a much-needed alternative to NHS waiting lists thcrt now stretch up to18 months. The need for therapeutic support has continued to grow, with the effects of the pandemic significantly impacting the mental health of young people ond their families.

With continued funding from Bedford Rotory Club, we hove been able to provide119 hours of one-to-one therapy this financial year, supporting 16 young people, eoch receiving o minimum of12 individual sessions. Our therapeutic model is designed to be flexible ond responsive to need.

Instead, we provide ongoing, adaptable support, ensuring that young people con occess theropy at different stages of their journey with us when they need it most. 66 nded a series of therapy sessions via F4YP to help him to better understand his nxiety- he used to really struggle to engage with advlts who were not in his family or his acher. and as a resvlt he found it almost impossible to go to friends. hovses to play or to cttend clubs both in and out of school.

The Role of Adult Volunteers in Strengthening F4YP This year has been a significant one for volunteering within F4YP. We have welcomed back long-time volunteers who were initially apprehensive following the pandemic, as well as introduced new faces eoger to svpport our work.

This growth was driven by increased outreach, expanded programme offerings. and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people's emotional and social well-being. While our dedicated team worked tirelessly to meet these needs, the existing staffing structure became increasingly stretched. with staff managing heavier workloads ond some young people facing waiting lists for support. Over the past year. we have spent time reviewing our staffing structure and roles to ensure we con continue meeting the needs of our service users effectively. As a result, the next financial year will see growth in our team. with the introduction of Family Support Workers to expand in-school support. Outreach Workers to provide well-being sessions, and Pastoral Wellbeing and Engagement Chompions to strengthen direct engagement with yovng people and their families. These staffing chonges will ollow us to continue meeting the growing needs of our community while mointoining the high standards of support that define F4YP. By investing in our team. strengthening partnerships. ond ensuring long-term financial sustainability, we are in a strong position to expond our impact and make o meaningful difference in the lives of young people and their fomilies. ai 66 -A lot of our young people don't have a positive adult in the home. If you live in a single parent hovsehold. there is o parental relotionship there. bvt the chances are. it could be someone who is really stressed out the whole time. with multiple kids to look after. So. they may be o great parent. but they could lock the time for the one-to-one stuff. So. sometimes a young person might need that little bit more. Having those extra people come in Dike we have for our] reading sessions giving a young person time with someone who listens to them or reads to them. that's a huge thing for them. They eome to F4YP and there is an adult who knows about them, who is interested in them and who wants to know about them it makes a difference. Or. if you are in a class of 30 and you are not top of the class. for example. you might get pulled up for your behaviour if you have something liko ADHD. for instance. and that adult won't b8 praising you all tho time. So. giving them quality time is key in what we do."

The mother is battling alcohol and drug addiction, actively participating in recovery programmes while striving to improve her parenting skills. Her younger child is awaiting assessment for ASD and ADHD, while the older sibling has taken on the role of a young carer, supporting both their mother and sibling. The father, previously a stabilising presence, has left the family home, adding further instability to an already difficult home environment. Despite her struggles, the mother has shown dedication to change, engaging with F4YP's support workshops, which she finds more manageable than other recovery programmes. She values the safe space they provide, allowing her to develop parenting skills and access sUPPOrt without feeling overwhelmed. However. without a formal diagnosis. her younger child's specific needs remain unmet, creating further stress within the household. Meanwhile. the older sibling carries the weight of additional responsibilities. balancing school with their role as a carer. F4YP has provided conslstent support, offering the family a much-needed network of stability. Through workshops, advocacy, and guidance. we have helped them navigate daily challenges while ensuring the mother feels heard and supported. However. the ongolng battle wlth addlctlon. the uncertalnty of the chlld's dlagnosls. and the burden placed on the older slbling highlight the need for continued, tailored interventions. Moving forward. efforts to support the child's assessment, further support the motheffs recovery, and relieve the pressure on the young carer are crucial. Whilst the family still faces significant hurdles, their resilience and willingness to engage with support offer hope for a more stable future.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity's operations are controlled from, and its records and accounts maintained in, its registered office as shown in the Report of the Trustees.. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are described in the Report of the Trustees. ## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** No judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies. Where entitlement to grant income is based on a level of performance estimates of percentage complete are made on the basis of the number of units of each appropriate outcome. ## **Income** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Where grants are payable in more than one year income is only recognised at the beginning of the year to which it relates. If entitlement is not met, due to performance or timing, then these amounts are deferred. ## **Expenditure** 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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** Costs are allocated to specific grants in accordance with the term of the grants. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on cost Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
