The Trustees present their report and financial ststernents for the period ended 31 March 2023.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 3 forms part of this report.
The financial statements comply with current ststutory requirements, the charity's constitution and the

Ba¢kground and RatlonBle
Charitable activities in the form of youth mentoring and coaching began tn Autumn 2020 with one
trained youth mentor volunteering at an academy school in East Oxford. The subsequent idea of a
charity being created to lormalise and develop this work came into being following discussions in
Autumn 2021 between Tom Lewis and Nico McEwen.
They agreed a vision to start and 9row a youth mentoring charity, to be called the luventas Foundation,
with the aim of providing professional mentoring, coaching and mental health support to young people
in the wider Oxford area and particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The vision at inception was to recruit 5 qualified youth rTbentor5 into the programme in Year One and
to build up a bank of evidence, impact studies and student testimonials that would allow the charity to
fundraiseto a wideraudience in Year Two and beyond. Mentors would be professionals already working
in the fields of adolescent rnental health, youth work, child psychotherapy, coun5elling and pastoral
care and would give a day a week ol their time to work 1-1 with young people from schools, colleges
and counselling services.
They would be paid a daily rate to work with students at the schools, which would be a rneaningful
percentage of what they normally charge privately. The rationalè behind this was to attract the highest
quality of people into the programme, create a transactional service las distinrt from volunteering) and
thus provide the best quality support to young people.
ObJ•¢tfv•s and A¢tlvltl•s
Our Mi5510n
The luventas Foundation works with young people, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing
thern with mentoring, life guidance and mental health support to raise their aspiration, to empower
them to take charge of their live5 and to grow in character and self-confidence.
Our Objects
The charity's objects, as set ovt in its governing document, are..
To odvtsrtce in life ond relieve needs of children und young people by providing sUPPOrt ond
octivities which develop their skilts, capacities ond capobilities to enoble them to porticipote in
society as mature ond responsible individuob
We achieve this by engaging with and contrading to secon¢Jary schools, fvrther education colleges,
counselling services and education providers in the broader Oxford arèa. Working closely with their
pastoral departments and wellbeing teams, we identify students who are in significant need, but also
those receptive to being 5UPPOrted. These students will often be on long waiting lists to receive
counselling in school and/or see CAMHS and we work with them, 1-1, in a goal-oriented wayto improve
their mental health and increase their capacity to manage their lives and enjoy their childhoods.

THE IUVENTAS FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES. REI>ORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The outcomes are significant improvements in mental health. confidence, self-esteem and a broader
and clearer outlook on life after school. Our mentoring model is a longer-term one that values the
longevity and regularity of the working relationship between mentor and young pwson and aims to be
transfomational for the indiwdual.
The Trustee5 have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what
activitie5 the Charty should undertake. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commi5510ri's
guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charitls airns and objectives, as well as planning its
future activities.
Achievem•nts and Performanc•
The charity commenced operation5 in January 2022 and formal registration in August 2022. In its first
year, we worked with 43 young people and held a total of 392 mentoring sessions across two secondary
schools in East Oxford. The average length of the mentoring relationship was 9 months with students
attendin9 1-1 sessions on a weekly basi5 during tern) time. A small number of students have been
linked to and been seeing a mentor for up to two years, while others have come with specilic goals in
mind and then worked towards achieving these over a 4-6 week pwiod.
The better outcomes associated with longer mentoring relationships, versus shorter time-limited
models, are well-documented, We very rnuch follow this model of developing deeper relationships with
the young people in our progralnrnes as they have greater power to provide transformational benefits
in the long run, not just to mentees, but also to mentors as well. 73% of the young people with whom
we worked were l 5-18 years old and 6S% were 9ids.
Key themes arising in our first year of operation focussed on understanding and managing anxiety,
emotional regulation, addressing low sell-esteem and poor motivation, sèttirbg goals and finding
purpose in life. Our feedback forms, completed before and after mentoring work by students, refflected
the success and impact that our team of mentors have had, including.. 100% enjoying the mentoring
experience, 91% feeling mentoring has helped them, 73% valuing themselves more as a result and
leeling more positsve about life, 82% found themselves more likely to achieve their goals and 100%
would recommend the programme to others.

stsfllng
The luventas Foundation wod(s on a model of contracting professionally trained mentors, counsellors
and psychotherapists, who are usually in private practice, to give one day a week of their time to the
charity. They are paid an hourfy rate, which equates to a meaningftjl percentage of what they charge
privately, to work 1-1 with young people who are in need of their support.

THE IUVENTAS FOUNDATION

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Much of the work is centred around compassionate listening, problem-solving. goal settin9 and
emotional regulation. Some of the work involves deeper procèssing of past experiences and trauma
nd as Such, is more psychotherapeutic in nature. The tnJstees and CEO believethat this model of yOLtth
mentoring brings the greatest transformational benefits to young people as it is long-lasting,
transactional and delivered by highly qualified practitionèrs who have chosen to embellish their

R•s•rv•s Poll(y
The trustees are aware of the requirement to rwew the levd of resetves in line with the charity's fuiure
plans. The charity considers Its resèrves on an annual basis and is currently reviewing the need for
additional fundraising activities. Income is guaranteed under an agreement with a private donor until
31st March 2025. This income is unrestricted and at present the costs of running the charity are
structured in such a way that they will not exceed this figure.
Fln•ncl•l Revl•w
The charity achieved a net surplus of £11,441 bringing the charit￿5 total funds to £11,441. Total income
for the period wa5 £38,367.
The operations of the charity are funded in part through the Schools and colleges with whom the charity
has contractual agreements in place to contribute to the costs of running the mentoring programmes.
On average these equate to around 25% of programme costs. Predominantly though, the charity is
funded by donations from private individuals who have found common cause with our work
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that
systems are in place to mitigate exposu￿ to the major risks. The principle risk to the Charity arises from
lack of income, particularly from donations. This can be rnittgated by minimising expenditure. The
Charity's contractual arrangements with it5 mentors and counsellors are flexible which gives the charity
the ability to adjust mentoring schedule5 relative to demand and financial resources. The effect of
reducing staff costs would be to reduce the level of activity and seryices that the Charity can offer, but
its operations could continue on this basis.
