FUTURE FOR ALL Paving the way for a brighter future.

message from the chair

Once again, FFA has achieved the remarkable. Over the past year, we have reached even greater heights, providing vital support and life-changing opportunities to more disadvantaged, impoverished, and NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) children than ever before. We reflect on 2026 with immense pride: it has been a year of unprecedented growth, innovation, and expansion across all our projects.

Our longstanding programs have continued to deliver exceptional impact, helping children develop newfound skills, confidence, and resilience. With increased funding and community support, we launched several new initiatives this year, all of which have been resoundingly successful. Notably, we introduced the “Cycling for Children” project, an ambitious and inspiring new effort that provided free bicycles to children who would otherwise never have the chance to own one. This initiative not only brought joy and independence to the recipients but also promoted a greener and more sustainable community, instilling lifelong values of health, mobility, and environmental responsibility.

Throughout the year, we have witnessed profound transformations: children who arrived sad and uncertain have blossomed into happy, confident young people. Many come from backgrounds of hardship, deprivation, and instability—yet thanks to FFA, they have found hope, support, and a safe space to grow. The need for our services has grown as economic challenges, including soaring inflation and ongoing mental health concerns post-COVID, have impacted more families. FFA has heroically answered this call, welcoming even more children into our programs despite rising costs.

The feedback from children, families, and partner schools has been extraordinary. FFA has consistently delivered the support, skills, and—most importantly—the confidence that our children need to thrive. Through our comprehensive range of educational, therapeutic, and extra-curricular activities, we have continued to bridge the gaps created by social and economic pressures, ensuring every child has the chance to build talents, resilience, and strength.

We look forward to continuing our mission with resolve and optimism in the year ahead. 1

Aims and Objectives

Mission

At FFA, our mission is to uplift and empower every child facing adversity. We transform despondency and disconnection into confidence, happiness, and hope, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with young people as they navigate life’s toughest challenges. Through a comprehensive spectrum of enriching, user-focused programs, we provide vital support, nurturing safe spaces, reliable food, and practical opportunities. By breaking the cycle of intergenerational disadvantage, we help children discover direction, unlock their potential, and build the foundations for a brighter future.

Vision

Our vision is a world where every child—regardless of their background—has the opportunity to thrive, belong, and reach their fullest potential. We imagine a society where young people are empowered to develop emotional intelligence, build meaningful connections, and gain life-changing experiences. Through fostering inclusion, celebrating diversity, and inspiring a deep respect for the natural world, we nurture a generation ready to lift one another up and contribute positively to their communities. Our ultimate goal is a future where no child is left behind and every young person is equipped to flourish.

Objective

Our objective is to ignite hope and ambition in every child, empowering them to believe in a brighter future and equipping them with the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to achieve it. We are unwavering in our commitment to expand our reach and deepen our impact, ensuring that no child is left behind. By creating nurturing environments, providing essential food support, and opening doors to meaningful opportunities, we actively work to break the cycle of disadvantage. Through strong partnerships, passionate advocacy, and targeted programmes, we are dedicated to making a lasting, transformative difference for every young person we serve.

Rhythm of hope

Led by a certified music therapist, Harmony Haven invites children to unlock their emotions and creativity through music. In a safe, encouraging environment, young people learn to express themselves, build confidence, and process trauma, anxiety, and depression—challenges often intensified by poverty and social isolation. Due to overwhelming demand and expanded funding, we welcomed more children than ever this year, sparking new passions and uncovering hidden talents that may last a lifetime.

Far too many children arrive at school hungry, their potential stifled by food
insecurity and instability at home. The urgent need for reliable nutrition and
daily care drives the heart of this program. Here, every child not only receives
hearty, nourishing meals but also takes an active role in planning and prepar-
ing food—building confidence, responsibility, and essential life skills. The result
is transformational: improved nutrition leads to dramatic gains in energy, phys-
ical health, emotional wellbeing, and even academic performance.

1. General Information

Future for All is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1199638. The principal address is 4 Cranwich Road, London, N16 5JX.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements 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 Charities Act 2011.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

2.2. Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

2.3. Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

2.4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
