Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 August 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association, the requirements of a directors’ report as required under company law, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The company’s purpose is to advance the education and promote the mental health of children. We do this by working in partnership with schools to provide therapy, support and practical advice to children and their parents (or carers). We also provide training and advice to teachers and other educational professionals. In addition, the trustees have discretion to address the needs of children who are suffering from social disadvantage and/or financial hardship in other ways if they think that this is appropriate.
Our key service is known as Family Group . This involves one of our qualified therapists working with a senior member of a school’s staff to set up and manage a self-help community of up to eight families (where a family is defined as a child and at least one parent/carer). Community members meet weekly for a three-hour structured session that enables them to work together to identify and address the root causes of the behavioural issues that are preventing the participating children from fulfilling their potential. Family Group is a long-term intervention and children actively participate in the community for as long as is necessary to achieve long lasting change. In many cases, this takes over a year. On “graduation”, if necessary, former Family Group members (children and/or parents/carers) receive ad-hoc continuing support from us and/or from the school. Most of our Graduate support activities take place at our partner schools but we also host weekly meetings of a separate self-help group of West London graduate parents with continuing complex needs.
During the year, we customised our Family Group model to respond to the particular needs of families whose children have an Education, Health and Care Plan because of their special educational needs and disabilities. This intervention, known as Families Together , was piloted in partnership with The Cedars Primary School in Hounslow (“Cedars”) and it was made possible by the generous funding of Inspire Hounslow. Feedback from all participants and stakeholders was extremely positive and we hope to be able to develop this intervention further during 2025/26.
Given its origin, the income and costs relating to the Families Together project have been included as part of the Family Group charitable activity in the financial analysis provided elsewhere in these financial statements.

An associated charitable activity is our Food Project which is based in a number of our partner schools. This provides current and former Family Group participants with an opportunity to improve their skills and confidence by working with other volunteers to collect surplus food from local businesses and distribute it to families suffering from food poverty. By preventing this food going to landfill, our Food Project also helps to protect the environment.
Our Community of Practice (“CoP” ) is a knowledge sharing mechanism that allows representatives from our partner schools to share best practice (amongst themselves and with us) and to help each other solve problems.
Finally, our Family Insight Group (“FIG”) is a continuous improvement mechanism that allows us to test ideas and learn from the knowledge and experience of families who have participated in our interventions.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities are for the public benefit and remain focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Achievements and performance
2024/25 was another challenging year, mainly because all of our partner schools had to manage an increasing number of complex mental health issues with inadequate financial and non-financial resources. In the circumstances, the fact that the majority of them managed to make the required investment in Family Group is a tribute to their determination to respond positively to the wider needs of their local communities and a recognition of their belief in the positive impact of our work.
Sadly, during the year, two of our partner schools, Reach Academy (TW13) and Lovelace Primary School (KT9) decided that that they needed to prioritise other activities and, in both cases, by the end of the year, we had managed an orderly wind-down of their Family Group communities. More positively, during the year, we were delighted to be able to enter into new partnerships with Ashburnham Community Primary School (SW10), Malorees Junior & Infant School (NW6), St Joseph’s Catholic School (KT1) and One Degree Academy (EN2). The net result of these changes was that, having started the year working with 10 schools, we will be entering 2025/26 with 12 active partnerships.

Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 August 2025
In spite of all the difficulties, the Family Group communities that functioned during 2024/25 achieved a great deal. In total, 200 children and their parents/carers participated in 311 weekly self-help community meetings. Average attendance at each weekly meeting was 4.3 families and, with guidance from the co-leaders of their communities, almost all community members improved their mental health and their key relationships (both within the families and between the families and their schools). As a result, the children’s behaviours changed in a way that helped to accelerate their educational progression and enabled them to start fulfilling their potential.
As in previous years, our focus on a small number of families with extremely complex needs, made it very difficult to reach statistically valid conclusions on the effect that we have had but the available quantitative evidence is overwhelmingly positive and the feedback from parents, children and school staff confirmed that, in most cases, we were making excellent progress towards achieving our targeted outcomes. For example, our current quantitative tool for measuring personal development in both children and adults showed that, as a result of participating in Family Group, at the end of the school year, approximately 84% of the active programme participants (parents and children) were on track to meet their clinical service targets. This compares very favourably with our target of having at least 70% of Family Group participants at or above their service targets. Similarly, when asked in the summer term to assess whether Family Group was having a positive impact on the educational progression of the participating children, on average, teachers reported a score of 4.3 (out of a maximum score of 5). In this case, a score of 3 indicated "no change", with 5 meaning that the teachers "strongly agreed" that there had been positive impact.
During the year the effectiveness of Family Group was confirmed by an external evaluation carried out by academics from Cambridge and the LSE. Using a methodology that was largely based on the participating children’s own narratives, Dr Amy Smaile and Jonathan Schulte concluded that Family Group had delivered significant emotional, social, and educational benefits.
As well as our Family Groups, during the year, we continued to provide follow-on support to children and parents who had previously participated in Family Group (including members of the 38 families who successfully “graduated” from Family Group during the year). More specifically, as well as the ad-hoc support provided in all of our partner schools, we managed a separate self-help community for Hounslow parents with continuing needs. This Parent Graduate Group is facilitated by a senior member of our team and, as before, the focus was on a small number of individuals with particularly complex needs. Six parents were regular attendees and, in total, they participated in 35 Parent Graduate Group sessions during the year. Feedback was very positive.
We also maintained our Food Project throughout the year, primarily by working with three partner schools with experience of Family Group (Victoria Junior School, TW13, Southville Primary, TW14 and Sparrow Farm Primary, TW14). By organising regular food stalls at these schools, as well as addressing food poverty and preventing good food from going to landfill, we were able to reinforce our Family Group principles by demonstrating the power of a community and by providing opportunities for parents and children to enhance their skills and confidence. We estimate that, each week, our food stalls helped at least 90 families reduce food poverty and, in total, over 3.5 tonnes of surplus food were diverted from landfill.

Our CoP and FIG met twice and three times respectively during the year. The former was an excellent mechanism for staff from our partner schools to share best practice and to identify the systemic impact of FG on schools, while the latter provided invaluable ideas on how to improve our services and communicate more effectively with our target beneficiaries.
Financial review
As before, the company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Given the challenging circumstances, the trustees believe that the charity’s financial performance in 2024/25 was satisfactory and, in this context, we would like to thank our funders for their continuing support. All of them understood that, because of the cost-of-living crisis and the many challenges facing our actual and potential partner schools, we were operating in a very difficult environment and that delivering our strategic goals continued to be a challenge. Their commitment, flexibility and interest in our work were all greatly appreciated.
In spite of the support we received, total income from charitable activities at £361,667 was 4% lower than in the previous year (£377,118). Even though we were able to maintain a stable cost base, this reduction flowed through to the bottom line and the net result was a deficit for the year of £9,083 (2023/24 a surplus of £7,044).
As at 31 August 2025, costs of £9,552 incurred during the year in clarifying the charity’s strategic direction and in managing succession were transferred from general funds to a designated fund that the trustees had established in previous years to fund expenditure of this nature.
General funds at 31 August 2025 of £121,973 (31 August 2024: £121,504) represent approximately 3.8 months' costs (31 August 2024: 3.8 months). Given the long-term nature of Family Group, in accordance with the company’s risk management strategy, the trustees are targeting to achieve general funds of between four and six months' costs and it is hoped that this will be achievable in the medium term.
Fundraising
The Chief Executive is responsible for fundraising and, in this role, he is supported by our small central team and by the company’s Chair. We do not focus on fundraising from the general public and no professional fundraisers are employed by the company.

For the year ended 31 August 2025
Nine of our partner schools donated £68,000 from their own resources towards the costs of our services during the year. A further amount of £302,000 was generated from generous grants and donations from organisations that included the following funders:
Inspire Hounslow John Lyon's Charity Kensington Prep School King's House School London Borough of Hounslow St Paul's Girls' School SEGRO plc The Berry Street Foundation The Girdlers' Company The Grocers’ Charity The National Lottery Community Fund The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation The Peter Stebbings Memorial Charity
Plans for the future
Our plans for the future are to continue to transform the lives of as many children as is practicable. Our priority is to continue to bring all of our ongoing Family Groups up to full capacity and to continue to use our related activities (Families Together, Parent Group, Food Project, CoP and FIG) to broaden and deepen the benefits that we deliver. We are open to taking on new partnerships in 2025/26 but these would need to be fully funded to be viable.
As in previous years, funding will remain our principal challenge. Hopefully, we will be able to maintain or extend the support that we currently receive from our existing funders but our current expectation is that, without additional grants or donations from new funders, we will incur another financial deficit in 2025/26. Regrettably, the resulting need to consider cost saving measures might restrict our future activities.
More positively, we are actively pursuing a number of significant fundraising possibilities and, having regard to the expected level of reserves at 31 August 2026, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.
In terms of planning for the medium term, the trustees would like the charity to grow as this would enable us to help more disadvantaged families. However, over the coming years, we expect that any future partner schools will be unlikely to be able to afford to invest the significant resources (both financial and non-financial) that are required to fully support our work. Consequently, growth implies the need for new funding sources and/or significantly increased income from charitable grants and philanthropic donations. In the current financial climate, it is clear that securing this income will be a major challenge.

Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 August 2025
During the year, the trustees have considered the charity’s medium term growth options in great detail - and, in that context, they are very grateful for the pro-bono consultancy support provided to the company’s Chief Executive by Cranfield Trust.
Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17 August 2010 and registered as a charity on 18 May 2023.
The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.
Trustees are appointed after an open recruitment process based on their skills, experience and commitment to the company’s charitable objectives. The trustees are the members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits or expenses from the charity.
In October 2024, we were delighted to welcome Hendrix Hammond, an experienced consultant psychotherapist, as a trustee. Hendrix’s passion lies in helping people unlock their potential strengths and capabilities – and we look forward to harnessing his expertise to further improve the effectiveness of our work.
Sadly, in November 2024, Gavin Winters decided that, because of increasing family and work commitments, he was no longer able to continue as a trustee. As a senior educational professional and a longstanding supporter of Family Group, Gavin has contributed a great deal over many years and we shall miss his insights and guidance.
Nadia Lynes joined the Board on 1 May 2025. As the recently retired Head of one of our partner schools, Nadia has in-depth knowledge of the issues that our target families are facing – and firsthand experience of how we can help schools deal with these.
In July 2025, we reluctantly accepted James Alexander’s resignation as a trustee and as our Chair. His contribution since our formation has been immense and we shall always be grateful to him for his wisdom and commitment.
James’ replacement is Andrea Hartley, a successful social entrepreneur who believes strongly in our mission. Andrea joined the Board on 4 July, 2025 and her energy, acumen and fundraising capabilities are already having a positive impact on the charity’s strategic direction.
Following her retirement as High Mistress of St Paul’s Girls’ School (and relocation away from London), in July 2025, Sarah Fletcher concluded that it was no longer practicable for her to remain as a trustee. We shall miss her common sense and her specialist knowledge of the educational sector but we are delighted that she intends to remain a supporter of the charity.

Transactions involving trustees
The various transactions involving current and former trustees are described in Note 9 of the financial statements. All these have been approved by the other trustees who consider them to be in the best interests of the charitable company.
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of Transgenerational Change Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare the 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 adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 August 2025 was 7 (2024: 7).

Independent Examiner’s report
To the members of Transgenerational Change Limited
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Transgenerational Change Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 August 2025
-
1 Accounting policies
-
a) Statutory information
Transgenerational Change Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in England & Wales.
The registered office address and principal place of business is 36, Buckingham Road, Petersham, Surrey, TW10 7EQ
- b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
- c) Public benefit entity and judgements
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The trustees do not consider that there are any judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
- d) Going concern
Taking into account the continuing commitment of a number of our funders (including our partner schools) and having regard to the level of reserves at 31 August 2025, the trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
e) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
income received from donors and charitable funders for a programme is spread over the period of that programme in accordance with a prudent assessment of the value of the services delivered.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
f) Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
g) Fund accounting Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which relates to those services is charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are grants, donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charity's general purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
- h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds relate to the direct costs incurred by the charity in carrying out activities that have a fundraising purpose, together with associated support costs
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of delivering services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity, together with associated support costs
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
- i) Allocation of support costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned to each activity based on an estimate of the appropriate amount attributable to that activity.
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.
- j) Tangible fixed assets
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £100.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. A full year's depreciation is provided in the year of purchase. The expected useful life of the charity's computer equipment is three years.
- k) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
- l) Pensions
Contributions payable by the company to the company's externally managed defined contribution pension scheme are recognised in the period to which they relate.

The company became a registered charity in May 2023 and, in June 2023, HMRC accepted that the company was also a charity for tax purposes. Subsequently, in accordance with the rules for overpayment relief, tax previously paid in the preceding four years was refunded to the company. Together with related interest, the total repayment amounted to £8,403. Of this amount, £101 of interest related to the year ended 31 August 2024.
Following HMRC recognition, the charity is exempt from corporation tax as all its income is charitable and is applied for charitable purposes. Consequently, no corporation tax is payable on the charity's activities in the year ended 31 August 2025.

With effect from 31 August 2010, the company acquired the entire share capital (two £1 ordinary shares) of The School & Family Works Limited ("SFW") from Mark Griffiths for a consideration of £2. The company also entered into an agreement with SFW that, from that date, SFW would operate as a trading agent of the company. Consequently, all results of SFW since 1 September 2010 are recorded in the accounts of the company. All of SFW's assets at 31 August 2010 were transferred to the company at their net book value and the company agreed to meet all SFW's liabilities at that date as they fell due. SFW was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2009.
As it is now an agent of the company, SFW no longer trades in its own right and it is a dormant company with share capital of £2, offset by an amount due from the company of £2. Consolidated accounts of the group have not been prepared as these would be virtually identical to the accounts of the company.

Purposes of restricted funds
Restricted funds for each charitable activity are derived from income that has been given for specific projects related to that activity. Income from schools is restricted to activities at that particular school and other income that the funder has specified is for multiple activities is allocated to individual activities in a way that, in the opinion of the trustees, reflects the costs incurred in carrying out that particular activity.
Purposes of designated funds
In the year ended 31 August 2023, the trustees allocated the funds that became available from the writeback of amounts previously recognised as liabilities to a designated fund that they are using to invest in the resources necessary to clarify the strategic direction of the charity and to manage succession. During the year, £9,552 (2024: £5,007) was invested in specific strategic projects and this amount has been transferred from designated funds to general funds.
- 16 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
