OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The number of young people with Education,Health and Care Plans in Suffolk had risen from 2,960 to 6,951 by  January
2023(ONS2023).The numberof new EHCPsapprovedin Suffolkin 2022alonewas 676(ONS2023).The pressure on
schoolsto find alternativeprovisionsfor disruptivestudentscontinuesto increaseand the impactof Covid on  student
behaviourisalsoafactor.In2022,therewere2,700placesinSpecialSchools,PRUsandSpecialistUnits(SCC SEND
Sufficiencyplan2022-2025).Thisnumberhasincreased,althoughourcurrentwaitinglistof42youngpeople looking
for sessions is an indication of the degree of under-supply and the inability to keep pace with demand across Suffolk.
It is also of note that ages 9 and 10 have the highest number of EHCPs of all age groups.The percentageof pupils who
haveSENsupportincreaseswithage,reachinga peakof 15.7%of pupilsatages9 and10.Thisthensteadily declines
throughsecondaryages,to 12.4%atage 15.The percentageof pupilswithanEHCplanalsoincreaseswithage, from
3.3% at age 5, up to a later peak of 5.3% at age 11, before slowly declining to 4.7% at age 15.
The Suffolk SEND SufficiencyPlan 2022-2025identified the rapid growth in demand for specialist education placements
and, despite much planned investment and work, also identifiedthat there would not be enough provision to meet the
expectedneed.Suffolkisthereforeexpectedtocontinuetorelyheavilyonindependent,non-maintained special
schools.
Theirdemandprojectionsuntil2025suggestedtheneedforafurther550newspecialisteducationplacesfor school
agechildren.Demandfornewplacesisparticularlystrongforchildrenwithautism,severelearning difficulties,
moderate learning difficulties, SEMH and speech, language and communication needs.
In Suffolk in 2022 there were 2,109 childrenwith AutisticSpectrumDisorder,2,025 with moderatelearning difficulties,
757 with SEN, 3,058 with SEMH, 2,567 with Specific Learning Difficulty(e.g. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia)and 3,245 with  Speech,
Language or Communication Needs.
There has been an unprecedentedrise in requests for specialist placements.There has also been a significantrise in  the
numberof childrenwithinmainstreamschoolsrequiringhigh needs top-upfundingto supporttheir education. "There
will always be a need for some childrenand young people to access independentprovision,particularlythose with the
highest level of need." (SCC)
There is a similar picturenationally,with stretchedresourcesunableto manage the very significantincreasesin young
people who do not fit School.
The need is clear across all ages from 4 to 25, and it is growing significantly beyond existing provision.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

Innov8 workshopshas seen a dramaticchange in its activitiesin the last 12 months with a change in name, a change in
location, approval to become a Charity and approval from Suffolk County Council as an approved provision.
The yearstartedwith threefull-timestaff,with justtwo workshops:in bikerepairandwoodwork.However,the need
from local schools in the Bury St Edmunds area and the results we had been able to achieve, supported our expansion.

cultureofsupervision,safeguardingandchilddevelopment.Daniella'sexperienceandknowledgeofthe challenges
facedbyyoungpeople,aswellasherlinkstothelocaleducationalcommunity,assistedusinreachingoutto new
schools and provisions which ensured we filled any new workshops as fast as we could create them.
Attheturnof2022,weincreasedourteamtosix,withtheadditionofmentorsinhorticulture,artandmusic. All
educational streams were well-supported, and our children were able to access a broad variety of learning experiences.
Originallyincorporatedas a CIC andnamedMonkeyWorkshopsCIC,we convertedto a CIO on 28thFebruary2023 to
ensure appropriate governance and structure to allow us to manage our continued fast growth in provision.
The pace of growth and the clear demandfor much greatersupportmeant that a new, much larger and more  modern
premiseswasneeded.InJune2023we movedintoIntegHouse,Roughamandsecuredanexcellentmodern building
which was more suited to our needs. The increased space allowed us to further develop our offer, so that by the end  of
August2023we were able to deliveran additionalthree workshops:functionalskills,cookingand salon.This took our

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Trustees have examined the charity'srequirementsfor reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. Given
the improvingfinancialrobustnessof the Charity'sfinancialmodel,the key challengeis to maintainsufficient reserves
to managetheimplicationsof significantchange.We areassistedin thisbythegrowingneedfor ourprovision which
cushions any unexpected customer changes.
Theincreasednumberofemployeesandcomplexityoftheorganisationdoescreateotherriskswhichrequire a
meaningful buffer to be in place at all times.
TheTrusteeshaveestablishedareservespolicythatisreviewedannuallytoensurethattheappropriatelevels of
reserves are maintained.The size of this reserve policy also reflects the wide range of individualsupport we are able  to
draw on whilst we remain at this size.
We aim to hold £50,000in reserves,althoughour recent locationmove made that an unrealisticambitionin the short
term. This figure gives us approximately six months of our current key running costs.
