## **WE RESTART**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**_
## **Achievements and performance**
_Significant activities and achievements against objectives_
In the past year, WE RESTART has made significant strides in achieving its objectives, expanding its reach, and delivering impactful programmes to communities in need.
## **Increased Number of Participants**
## **Increased Number of Young People**
WE RESTART significantly expanded its engagement with young beneficiaries by delivering art sessions across various community and educational venues. These included Cricklewood Baptist Church, Curzon Crescent Family Wellbeing Centre, Brent Hub Community Centre, St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, City of Westminster College, and the World's End Estate. These sessions provided creative opportunities for young people to explore their artistic potential, enhancing their skills and emotional well-being.
## **Increased Number of Adults**
The number of adults participating in WE RESTART’s programmes grew significantly. Art workshops were delivered to participants at the Asian Women’s Resource Centre (AWRC), offering safe and supportive spaces for creative expression. Additionally, workshops held as part of Repair Cafes and other initiatives further expanded opportunities for adult engagement.
## **New Cohort of Asylum Seekers**
A notable achievement was reaching a new cohort of over 500 adults and 100 children residing in a Home Office temporary accommodation by establishing an "Art Sanctuary." This initiative included weekly art classes and performance sessions tailored for both adults and children, fostering creativity and resilience. Special art and theatre activities were also organized during Easter as part of the Holiday Activity and Food programme. To further support participants, free art materials were distributed, empowering individuals to express themselves creatively and find emotional relief and enhance their resilience.
## **A.R.I.A. Hub Establishment**
One of the year’s most notable achievements was the creation of the A.R.I.A. Hub (Asylum Seeker, Refugee, and Immigrant Artists), which became a vital resource for artists at risk. The hub provided 16 artists with access to dedicated workshops and resources, supporting their creative development and professional growth. Of these, 6 artists were further supported with studio space, art materials, mentorship, and paid job opportunities, enabling them to continue their practice, gain visibility, and build resilience in challenging circumstances.
## **Environmental Art Projects**
Environmental engagement was a key focus, with several art projects emphasizing sustainability, including: Dotting Up!, We Are Plastic, Message in a Bottle, Saving Butterflies, and From Waste to Wonder. These initiatives engaged young people over extended periods, fostering awareness of sustainability through creativity.
WE RESTART was honored with the Faces of Climate Change Award for the From Waste to Wonder project.
## **Expanded Geographic Reach:**
Outreach in Brent increased significantly, driven by a rise in the number of projects delivered across the borough and further amplified by the creation and implementation of the Brent ACE platform, which enhanced community engagement and accessibility. Additionally, activities expanded into other London areas, such as the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where young people from the World's End Estate participated in the Saving Butterflies project, and Westminster, where students from the City of Westminster College engaged in art sessions.
## **Partnerships and Collaborations**
Among other valuable collaborations, the partnership with Peaceful Solutions charity shops was crucial in enabling us to deliver more workshops and creative opportunities to our participants by providing free-of-charge art and craft materials. These materials, which would have otherwise ended up in landfill, were repurposed to support our activities, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and waste prevention.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**_
## **Volunteer and Intern Engagement**
Volunteer involvement, particularly among asylum seekers, grew substantially, enhancing diversity. WE RESTART also hosted numerous student interns, offering them valuable skills development and insights into the charity sector.
## **High Impact Feedback**
Quantitative and qualitative feedback from beneficiaries consistently demonstrated high levels of impact across two key areas: **Advancement in the Arts** and **Quality of Life** . Over 85% of participants reported significant artistic growth, increased engagement with the arts, and a renewed eagerness to learn more about creative practices. Additionally, they highlighted improvements in quality of life, including stronger connections with others, enhanced confidence, and positive effects on mental health.
## **Successful Fundraising**
The charity intensified its fundraising efforts through grants and funding applications, achieving significant success in sustaining and expanding its initiatives. This resulted in a substantial increase in income compared to the previous year, providing greater financial stability and enabling further growth of its programmes.
## **Financial review**
Total income for the year was £58,096.00 (2023: £11,172.00) of which £44,698.00 (2023: £0.00) was restricted income. The total expenditure was £50,807.00 (2023: £12,776.00) leaving a net surplus for the year of £7,289.00 (2023: Deficit £1,604.00). Restricted funds held as of 31 May 2024 were £4,302.00 (2023: £0.00).
## _Reserves policy_
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
## **Structure, governance and management**

## **WE RESTART**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
We Restart is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 218 Chapter Road, London, NW2 5NB.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.7 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024**_
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **Notes to the Restricted funds**

2) **The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea** and **Mount Anvil** match-funded the **Saving Butterflies** project, which engaged children and young people from a disadvantaged estate in Chelsea in creating a wooden butterfly sculpture highlighting the theme of environmental conservation.

The initiative culminated in a collective artwork, with the funding covering materials and facilitator costs.
