ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The financial year of 2024-25 has been one of continued growth for Kings Community, with our
work expanding in all areas, which has further advanced our vision to positively impact the mental,
physical and spiritual wellbeing of children. teenagers and adults at risk, through practically
demonstrating God's love lo them.
In 2024125, Kings Community provided 1.274 one4¢>one listening ear sessions for 104 different
children aged behveen 8 and 15 years old. This equates to 862 hOurs￿orth of sessions across
Schools in Lrttle Lever and the Surrounding areas of Easl Bolton. We have also been able to
provide 6 hours of large group relationship and wellbeing sessions for 30 Primary School-aged
children and have worked in partnership with other charities lo provide over 100 food hampers to
hou5ehold5 in need.
These numbers vary from the previous year of 2023124, where our listening services increased
from previously providing 1120 hours of listening sessions for 127 different children, but our
creative arts sessions have decreased from previously providing 60 hours lo 40 children. The
reason for this is that the increased dedine in children's mental health has led to schools
prioritising individual interventions as opposed 10 group prevéntions.
We have continued working in Ladywood Special School, providing listening setvices and creative
arts sessions for SEND children and have seen significant growth in the children's emotional
wellbeing and self-awareness.
Thanks to the second grant of £6,500 from CRH, we are able to continue our work in Little Lever
High School and are now providing 9 listening sessions per week due to training volunteers lo take
on additional sessions. High School Listening Sessions were initially to address the exacerbation
of poor mental health in children when transitioning schools, however the service is now being
offered to pupils in years &11 as a ftsponse to the increased decline in young people's mental
health.
Outcomes in 2024-25
We measure the progress of our work with each individual through certain metrics including
improved self-esteem, confidence. an understanding and implementation of coping strategies
where necessary and the feedback of class teachers.
We have found that the Listening Ear project and the Creative Arts sessions are having a positive
effect on children and teenagers in Little Lever and East Bolton. 96% of children have found the
sessions beneficial, 73°A stated their mental health had improved by the end of the sessions and
59 % required no further interventions once the sessions had finished. General comments made by
the children are that they enjoy the sessions. they feel safe to talk about the things that are
worrying them, they find il helpful to receive some coping strategies for when they are feeling very
worried or upset and that they enjoy having someone lo talk to.
We regularly liaise with staff about the progress of the chikjren that we are working with. This
feedback is essential in guiding the direction of the sessions so that we are able lo adapt to each
child's individual needs. The feedback that we receive is often very positive, mentioning an
increase in confidence, an improvement in school attendance, behaviour or an observation of a
child tackling a more specific problem or worry with more confidence.

Re
rt of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Child A was referred to the Listening SeNice because they were struggling to engage with the
class and was suffering severe emotional outbursts on a regular basis. After working with staff to
implement a strategy of providing long-term listening sessions as a safe space to self-regulale and
then gradually introducing peers into the sessions, to learn to play together. the child has now built
strong friendships in his class and has significantly reduced his emotional outbursts lo the point
that they are not deerned a concem.
The teacher has noticed the positive impact this has had on the whole of the class and has now
put forward other class members to go through the Listening Sessions for the class to grow further.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity is continuing to build tls financial plalfom lo expand rts work and reach. Currently, the
main ongoing fixed costs are the salaries of its staff. The charity is looking to secure new funding
to increase the number of staff to allow it to expand ils work in the community and local schools.
Prlncipal funding $our¢e$
The charity is dependent on the generosity of individual supporters and grant funders lo support its
work in the community.
During the year, income has been boosted by the following..
Albert Hunt Trust (Listening and arts)
Benefact Trust (Listening and arts)
CRH Charitable Trust (Listening service)
GroUndWor￿e$co Stronger Starts
Joseph Rank Trust (Core costs)
£4.000
£2.700
£6.500
£500
£10.000
The charity has also been able to generate income by charging schools to deliver listening and art
sessions. The rates are subsidised by the charity to accommodate the constraints of the budgets
of the local schools whilst providing a much needed service for children.
Roserves policy
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain are appropriate to the
charity's needs. The trustees aim to hold unrestricted reserves equivalent lo three month's regular
expenditure {ex¢lvding projects) as a minimum li.e. £7,987 as at Ihe end of this financial year) to
cover any unforeseen costs that may arise.
The trustees have designated funds for a new staff member that is due to be hired in the 2025126
financial year. In Ihis relatively early stage of the charity, the truslees believe it 1$ appropriate to
designate such funds to reduce financial nsk.

FUTURE PLANS
Due to the increased demand from current schools, we have recruited and trained volunteers to
take on lower priority cases so that Offi￿rS can focus on high priority ones. This recruitment
process has consisted of identifying potential volunteers, enrolling them on the relevant counselling
courses, providing training and guidance over King's Community protocol and then introducing
them to a school that we are currently working in.
We currently have 4 volunteers who come into 4 Primary Schools and the High School each week.
After spending lime shadowing offi￿rS during listening sessions with children and then providing
$upeNised Sessions, they have independently provided 235 sessions over the past year. We aim
to recruit a volunteer lo shadow officers wrthin each school so that we can strategically prioritise
cases and increase capacity within each school. thus increasing our current outputs and
outcomes.
We are now seeing current partner schools request more small group therapy sessions as a
preventative measure for children's mental health and lo also improve relationships and dynamics
within classes. We have therefore created a specific 6 week arts therapy session as well as class
dynamics &week course for large groups, which was piloted in a School and has been requ8sted
by other partner schools.
We have also started work in another local school, however this now means we have reached
capacity even with volunteers. Nlh the demand for more work from our partner schools and new
schools reaching out to work in partnership with them, we are advertising for a part-lime officer to
provide more sessions and look at potential future opportunities. We are also scoping the
possibility of creating another part time post lo further increase our capacity lo potentially 60
sessions per week. We are currently liaising with schools and in the process of applying for funding
to external partners in order to finance this new role.
