The financial statements are prepared for the period 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. ## **Objectives and activities** ## **a. Policies and objectives** The object of the Charity is the preservation and protection of mental health among children and young people within the Whitstable, Herne Bay and Reculver area, by A) enabling therapeutic and emotional support to be provided in schools by qualified counsellors and B) providing emotional support to children and their families, including parents and guardians. In setting the objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a Charity (PB2)’. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **a. Main achievements of the Charity** ## **i) Report on school year 2024/2025** Our report covers the school year 2024/2025. During the year, 45 pupils were seen by the counsellors, with a total of 457 sessions being run for the year. These sessions had a 83% attendance rate, an improvement from the previous year (78%). A number of case studies have been collected from children who have been through the counselling process so far by the counsellors. Positive outcomes have been seen of children who have arrived with complex mental health issues and emotional difficulties. They have benefited from the sessions in that they have learnt skills such as coping mechanisms and communication tools, which allow them to speak more openly about their feelings. This in turn has helped them to manage their mental health more effectively, enabling them to engage more with peers and in turn integrate better into school - both from a learning and social perspective. ## **ii) The Parent Support programme report 2024/2025** For the school year 2024/2025, 12 families were seen over a total of 107 sessions. These sessions covered a range of concerns, including managing children’s behaviour, neurodiversity and managing school attendance. Of the 12 families, 9 completed the support in the year, with the remaining 3 continuing to access support. ## **Future plans** The economic climate for schools and for charities has shifted drastically since the Charity first started its work in 2022. School funding has continuously been squeezed and budgets cut, leaving schools little space in their budgets for anything outside of standard programming. **Coastal Family Hub** ## **Trustees’ report (continued) For the period ended 31 August 2025** Despite the Charity committing to funding more than 50% of the costs for the counselling programme from September 2025 onwards, the number of schools able to engage with the counselling service reduced drastically, with the expectation that none of our local schools would be in a position to fund access to the service for the September 2026 year. Future funding received and expected has enabled the Charity to continue funding its Parent Support Work up to August 2026, however due to the funding climate the Charity faced uncertainty about whether this work could continue to be funded from September 2026 onwards. Given the circumstances, the Trustees therefore concluded that the Charity would cease by August 2026, with any remaining funding being diverted to its partner organisation Spurgeons, with a view to this funding being given to continue similar work within this region of Kent. Any restricted funding remaining/expected to remain has been discussed with the donors of said funds, with the donors approving a transfer to the partner organisation. ## **Financial review** ## **a. Going concern** Following the period end, the Trustees reviewed the financial position of the Charity alongside it's ability to continue providing both counselling and Parent Support Work to the local area. Due to rising costs and funding issues for schools, the uptake for the Charity's services was declining substantially and as such the Trustees took the view to cease the Charity and re-distribute any remaining resources to its partner organisation Spurgeons by August 2026. ## **b. Reserves policy** The Trustees have established a policy whereby free reserves (defined as the amount held as current assets less current liabilities in the general fund) of the Charity should be maintained at approximately six months of annual expenditure, equating to approximately £10,000. As at 31 August 2025, the unrestricted reserves stood at £9,296 (2024: £9,737). As at 31 August 2025, the Charity holds restricted reserves of £7,110 (2024: £285). ## **c. Results for the period** During the period, the Charity received restricted income of £7,000 (2024: £10,584) and unrestricted income of £13,040 (2024: £4,333). The Charity had restricted expenditure of £175 (2024: £15,148) and unrestricted expenditure of £13.482 (2024: £3,468). This gave a restricted surplus of £6,825 (2024: deficit of £4,225) and an unrestricted deficit of £441 (2024: surplus of £526). The total surplus for the period to 31 August 2025 was £6,384 (2024: deficit of £3,699). **Coastal Family Hub** ## **Trustees’ report (continued) For the period ended 31 August 2025** ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. Constitution** The Charity registered with the Charity Commission on 21 April 2022, as a charitable incorporated organisation. It’s constitution was adopted on 4 April 2022. ## **b. Method of appointment of election of Trustees** The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution. ## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS102); - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
