The Bridging Project presents its second Trustees’ report and financial statement for the financial year ended 31st August 2023. 

The Bridging Project is a private Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a share capital. We operate in England (12365206) and are registered with the Charity Commission (1199402). 

The Company’s objects are to advance the education of people, especially but not exclusively those from low income, socially and/or economically disadvantaged areas, who are engaged in or intending to engage in higher or further education.

## Mission and objectives 

The Bridging Project’s mission is to support undergraduates from under-represented backgrounds to succeed at university and beyond. 

1 in 12 freshers from low income families drop out of university each year, compared to 1 in 20 of their classmates*. Once at university, under-represented students face additional barriers in engaging fully with university life. 

These statistics worsen for care leavers, a group we have focused support on this year. Nationally, 38% of care experienced students drop out of university compared to 8% of other groups**. 

## The Bridging Project believes that all students, regardless of their background, should be able to thrive at university. 

We offer a programme of tailored coaching support to equip young people with the tools they need to navigate the transition to university. Each student is matched with an experienced coach, external to the university, who usually has lived experience of attending university from an under-represented group. Coaches support students through one-to-one sessions during their first year of university. 

The programme supports students to: Improve their sense of belonging Develop soft skills including time and stress management Increase their ability to access support Improve engagement in university life 

In turn, this improves student retention and builds more positive outcomes for students from under-represented groups. 

We are in our fourth year of operation. This is our second year as a company registered with the Charity Commission.

I have become more confident as a student but also as a person in general, the coaching meetings were always a safe place and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support. - Student on The Bridging Project, Murray Edwards College

## Activities in 2022/23 

- The Bridging Project provided an in depth programme of support to 27 students in the transition to university. 

- We changed our approach to focus on building more in depth partnerships with the universities where students are based. 

- This activity took place through university partnerships at the University of Oxford (Balliol and Trinity Colleges), the University of Cambridge (Murray Edwards College) and University College London (UCL). 

- The partnership at UCL focused on supporting a cohort of care experienced students. 

- The Bridging Project recruited and trained 19 volunteer coaches. 64% of coaches had a Master’s level qualification or certification in coaching and positive psychology and 52%  had lived experience similar to the students they supported. Students were provided with monthly coaching sessions throughout their first year at university. 

- Sessions focused on areas such as growing confidence, accessing support, building positive relationships with staff and students, time and stress management. 

- Coaches acted as an important intermediary, signposting students to additional support as and when they needed it. This included additional mental health support, accommodation or financial support, or academic help and advice. The Bridging Project also provided a series of group workshops for students focusing on building networks and developing stress and time management skills.

## Access to support 

## 91% 

of students felt the programme had helped them access support at university 

Students reported improved knowledge and understanding of different forms of support available and increased confidence in making the most of it. The largest increases related to 

students’ self-assessments of their support networks, in terms of knowing people who had 

been to university, who attended the same university as them, and who worked in careers that interested them.

## Case study: University College London 

In 2022-23 we delivered our programme to a group of 10 care experienced young people starting at UCL. The aim was to develop their sense of belonging, confidence and engagement in wider university life. The survey results are below.

## Public benefit 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 when reviewing the Bridging Project’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The Trustees consider that the Bridging Project’s activities are for the benefit of the public generally. 

## Organisational structure 

Trustees are also Directors of the Company. Trustees attend four meetings a year. The Trustees were initially recruited by a founding Trustee and the organisation's two founders. Positions were advertised publicly and candidates were interviewed for the position. 

All Trustees received an induction folder containing key information about The Bridging Project. Going forward, new Trustees will be appointed by the Board of Trustees. As of 31 August 2023 there were six Trustees. 

The organisation currently has one full time member of staff, one part time member of staff, four freelance lead coaches and a freelance fundraiser. The programme and coaching are delivered by volunteers.

## Plans for next year (2023/24) 

- We will be shifting to a solely university-based approach, supporting approximately 40 students from three universities: University of Nottingham, University of Oxford (Trinity College and Balliol College) and University of Cambridge (Murray Edwards College). This will include a programme supporting neurodiverse students at the University of Nottingham. 

- We aim to recruit and train 40 coaches. This will be in partnership with the University of East London's Master’s programme in Coaching and Positive Psychology. We will provide all volunteer coaches with funded external supervision and a paid freelance member of staff to support them throughout the year. Coaches will continue to deliver 12 monthly 1:1 sessions to each student. These will focus on areas such as growing confidence, accessing support, building positive relationships with staff and students, time and stress management. 

- Students will be offered workshops focusing on confidence, networking and stress management. 

- We will work with a new Lead Coach at the University of Nottingham with expertise in coaching and supporting neurodiverse students, and will recruit experienced coaches to support this student group. 

- The charity is committed to growing its work to support more students in the years to come. Work next year will be focused on looking at how the programme can reach more students in need across the UK. 

## Financial review 

Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £82,307. The resources expended amounted to £69,686. This results in a gain in funds of £12,621. 

The Bridging Project makes year-long commitments to its university partners and student beneficiaries as well as its two employees and team of freelance workers. It is therefore an objective of the Trustees to gradually build a financial reserve to provide sustainability for the future. The Trustees have been particularly aware of building this up given the current cost of living crisis and its impact on the charity sector. 

The Bridging Project aims to build a minimum financial reserve to allow the charity's operations to continue in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The appropriate amount is determined by Trustees and reviewed each year but aims to be approximately a minimum of 3 months operating costs. This year the charity has met this objective with built up unrestricted reserves of £17,607. 

10 



## Funding 

The Bridging Project is funded through university partnerships and grants and donations. In 2022/23 we received grants from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Headley Trust. We also received a donation from a private individual who has committed to supporting our work through our first few years. We would like to thank all our donors for their support. 

## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities 

Law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. ln preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice 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 proper accounting records that 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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Bridging Project** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Bridging Project for the year ended 31 August 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. They are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.  Amounts presented are rounded to the nearest pound. 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will have access to adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Trustees have considered a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorising the financial statements. Accordingly, the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Fund accounting** 

## Unrestricted funds 

These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity. 

## Restricted funds 

These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal. See note 13 to the accounts for full information. 

## **Income** 

## Recognition of income 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## Income with related expenditure 

Where income has related expenditure the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SoFA. 

## Grants and donations 

Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the SoFA when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income. 

## Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 

Income from tax reclaims is included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates. 

## Donated services and facilities 

These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. 

## Volunteer help 

The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts. 

## Investment income 

Incoem from investments is included in the accounts when receivable.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023 (continued)** 

## **Accounting policies** 

## **Expenditure** 

## Recognition of expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

## Expenditure on raising funds 

These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. 

## Expenditure on charitable activities 

These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. 

## Governance costs 

These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. 

## Other expenditure 

These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## **Taxation** 

The entity obtained charitable status on 22 June 2022. Income received prior to this registration date has been treated as taxable. Subsequent to the charitable registration, the entity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives: 

Computer Equipment 4 years straight line 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. 

## **Trade and other creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
