The main activity we delivered this year
was a trauma informed programme to
adults whose children are in the child
protection process. The programme lasts
for 24 weeks. Each week parents attend a
group session which has been designed to
help them recognise who they are.
understand why they parent in the way thal
they do and develop new skills which can
help them progress and move fomards.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumslances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
The programme is accompanied by a
workbook which has been designed to
mirror the content of the group work
sessions as well as help parents reflect on
their own situations. We have worked with
2 cohorts of 20 parents this year. We have
therefore supported 40 parents over the
course of the year.
When parents complele the trauma
informed programme, they have the
opportunily to train to become peer
mentors and facilitate group work sessions
with new parents. This year we have run
one peer mentoring course and trained 3
new peer mentors.

Our aim is lo support families in the child
protection process. This year we have
received over 100 referrals and we
accepted 80 families onto the programme
as we knew thal wilh our retention rate
being 76 /0 we would lose some families at
the start of the course. This approach has
led to us working with 40 families over the
course of the year.
In February 2021, we were awarded £260k
of Reaching Communities Funding over a
period of three years. This was our first
large grant and we used it to employ two
members of full time staff.. an Operation
Lead and Post Programme Support Worker
as well as funding our volunteers, sessional
stsff and rent for the drop in Gentre.

In the last report, we were aware that the
Reaching Communities fund was due lo
end in August 2024. We have secured
Continuation Funding from the National
Lottery which will part fund the charity for
the next 3 years.
The Financial Consultants we contracted,
helped us develop a more robust funding
structure for us to operate from. This has
led to us charging the local authority a
service fee lo deliver our service. This local
authority investment has provided us with
financial security. stability and enabled us
to employ more slaff.

We identified in the last TrLJslee Report that
a risk of our work was that the CEO was
running the project as a Project Lead and
also trying to grow the project {Slrategic
Lead). Since then we have crealed a
pathway to employ a new Project Lead and
a Fundraiser. Both of these new roles will
relieve pressure for the CEO and provider

Independent Examiner's Report
TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEW BEGINNINGS FOUNDATION CIO
I report on the accounts for the chartty for the year ended 31 st March 2024 which are set out
on pages 11 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The CharIt￿S
trustees consider that an audit is nol required for this year under section 14412) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145151(bl of the 2011 Acl.. and
to state wh8ther particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnefs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as lo
whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those mallers
set out in the statement below.
Indopendont examlnerfs statemont
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
{ l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance wilh section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met., or
12) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
