Charit��s Objecti�es
The purpose for which the CIO Is being established is to relieve poverty for the public benefit of young people, in particular but not exclusively by providing personal development, mentoring and coaching, and educational services, and events that supports the development of socially and economically disadvantaged young people to build purposeful and sustainable futures.
De�elopment� Acti�ities and Achie�ements
In our first year of operation as a CIO, our focus has largely been to 1) build capacity and sustainability to remain viable, diversify our income stream, establish robust systems and processes to undergird our operations to enable us to adapt to challenges and scale our impact. 2) We enhanced the impact and effectiveness of our programmes. This took the shape of continual assessment of our programmes to highlight any areas of concern to enable us to pivot and improve whilst ensuring we maintain true to the charity’s mission. 3) We widened our collaboration to include 3 secondary schools in Lambeth, local church and other community organisations, all with the aim to better serve the needs of our community.
We onboard 5 new volunteers, completed the training to become a Be Well Champion and is now recognised as a Be Well hub. Through this training and ongoing supervision, our Champions are equipped to listen to people in the community, provide information, resources and signposting to mental health support. The hub’s main purpose is to de-stigmatise mental health, to use community organising principles to build strong relationships with local health services, and to organise leaders to listen and take action on the barriers and systemic problems impacting mental health.
We successfully supported approx. 120 year 10 students delivering CV workshops and 120 year 11 students with career pathways advice, post 16 and beyond. We continue to provide one to one personal development support to at risk young people, all of whom have improved in confidence, resilience and character with two moving on to part time employment. We diversified our revenue stream to include funding from 5 separate income streams.
Looking Ahead
We continue to work towards diversifying our income stream to move towards a more sustainable financial future, with the aim of scaling and enabling the continuation of our operations to fulfil our charitable objectives.

S�A�EMEN� OF �R�S�EES RESPONSIBILI�IES
Law applicable to Charites in England and Wales requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to both ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law. 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.

INDEPENDEN� E�AMINERS REPOR�
I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages � to 10.
Respecti�e responsibilities of tr�stees and e�aminer
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1��3 (THE 1��3 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1��3 Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(�)(b) of the 1��3 Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent E�aminer�s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Basis of Independent E�aminer�s report
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1��3 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1��3 Act;
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
