ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Coastal Collective supports children and families across Lytham St Annes through emotional, educational and practical services delivered within the community and through links with local schools and community organisations. Work focuses on improving wellbeing, strengthening resilience and helping to create safe, healthy communities. The charity facilitates cluster wide projects with the nine local primary schools, ensuring consistent support and early intervention for children across the area. The charity aims to continually improve understanding of the needs of children and families. Strong links with NHS Health Visitors, School Nursing, Talking Therapies and local Children and Family Wellbeing Service have been developed to identify gaps in services, providing early intervention and potentially reducing waiting times for children needing help. These collaborations ensure that services are targeted effectively, ensuring maximum impact for all children, including those with additional needs.
In order to fulfil its charitable aims, The Coastal Collective provides the following universal, targeted and specialist services and support:
Universal
Delivery community groups for all families in the locality . Groups are delivered at Coastal Community Hub, St Annes and at room hired from a local church. Our groups are free to the user and are publicised via social media and via displays in shops, libraries and doctors' surgeries. The groups include infant massage, family drop-ins (with a dedicated weekly session for those with babies under 12-months old), Grandparents' Group (for grandparents who are the main caregivers for their grandchildren), First Aid for parents, Triple P parenting and 'Cooking on a Budget'.
This example is from a parent who attended one of our Infant Massage classes. The parent had fled domestic abuse and had recently moved into the area with her new baby. Her older children had started a new school in the area. Following attendance at the five-week infant massage programme, the mother stated that the group enabled her to overcome social isolation. She had formed new connections and friendships. She felt that she had bonded better with her new baby and felt supported by the group facilitator and new friends.
The second example comes from two grandparents who attended a parenting course. As legal guardians of their previously looked-after grand-daughter, they were experiencing significant challenges. In feedback, they reported that the course helped them to identify small, manageable changes and strategies that had made an immediate difference at home. They had a better understanding of their grand-daughter's emotional wellbeing, they felt calmer and better equipped to support her when emotionally dysregulated. They appreciated being part of a network of caregivers who experienced similar challenges. providing peer support.
Facilitation of a termly cross-cluster meeting between the nine primary SENCos (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators) led by a specialist SEND adviser commissioned by The Coastal Collective. The cross-school SEND cluster provides a collaborative and supportive network that strengthens inclusive practice across participating schools. Led by a specialist adviser, the cluster offers clear strategic direction while focusing on upskilling the wider workforce through shared training, professional dialogue, and access to expertise. Opportunities for school-to-school support enables colleagues to share effective practice and expertise, build confidence, and develop consistent approaches to meeting diverse needs. Alongside this, the cluster prioritises staff wellbeing, recognising the demands of SEND provision and promoting reflective, supportive professional relationships. A key outcome was improved understanding of pupils with a wide range of needs, particularly through a one-day conference focused on high-quality curriculum planning for children with complex SEND. School workforce understanding of sensory needs, including those of children with autism, were improved. School staff developed a 'toolkit' of strategies and activities to take back to their own schools. Collectively, these activities strengthened capacity, improved confidence, and enhanced outcomes for pupils across the schools involved. At the Coastal Collective conference, one SENCo spoke about the impact of the termly cluster meetings. She stated that the opportunity for her to work with, and learn from, a group of SENCos, each of whom understands the challenges and demands of the role, had significantly benefited children in her school.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 AUGUST 2025
Implementation of MyHappyMind, an evidence-based, NHS recommended mental health and wellbeing programme which is delivered to all children in seven of our local schools. Pupils aged 4 to 11 are taught through six half-termly units which are based on science and research and grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology. There is support for teacher wellbeing too so all schools using the programme have access to a teacher wellbeing programme. The programme includes an app that can be shared with parents - and many of the schools have taken this approach. A parent reported that the app has helped them to develop a shared language with their children. This helped parents to initiate conversations about their child's mental health and wellbeing and enabled them to feel better equipped to support their child. One headteacher reported that MHM had a highly positive impact on pupils across the school. It has enabled the school to support pupils' wellbeing and emotional development in a meaningful and consistent way. The programme is accessible even to the youngest children, giving all pupils opportunities to reflect, celebrate, build resilience and self-awareness. Children develop positive mental health through evidence-based frameworks which support self-regulation and mindfulness.
Provision of KITT Medical Allergy Packs. Providing training to the school workforce and providing essential lifesaving medication in each of the nine primaries and the two secondary schools. The impact of these kits is also important considering all schools have community use at times and so the kits help if any member of the community suffers a reaction on school premises.
Targeted
Direct work with children through 1:1 or group support, providing social, emotional, mental health and wellbeing support . The Coastal Collective employs a team of five practitioners, with varying professional backgrounds and specialisms including children's safeguarding, behaviour support, primary to secondary transition and early years. A range of intervention and support programmes were delivered directly either 1:1 or in small groups. Over 120 children and their families accessed support during the year 2024 to 2025. Children were able to access the right support at a much earlier stage than would otherwise have been possible. This early intervention reduced the number of referrals into the local authority CFWS. Consequently, improved and more sustainable outcomes have been achieved for all children who received support. Schools can request support for any child about whom they have concerns and Coastal Collective staff work closely with school staff to identify the right support and the right time. The support offered included:
-
Bereavement and loss
-
Children experiencing family conflict
-
Children looked after or previously looked after
-
Children experiencing anxiety, low mood or anger
-
Siblings group (for children with a sibling with additional needs)
-
Transition support (for Y6 to Y7 transition)
-
Lego-Based Therapy
-
Early intervention support for children with unmet needs who do not meet thresholds for Children and Family Wellbeing Service or Children's Social Care.
-
Life Skills
Through these groups, children are given a safe space to express themselves and share their concerns. This support can be from six weeks to much longer periods, depending on the child's needs.
Direct work with families, helping them to address a variety of needs and enabling healthier and safer lifestyles. Our Family Link Workers provide early intervention support to families with unmet needs who do not meet the thresholds for CFWS or Children's Social Care. The early support is tailored to the needs of the family. One example of support is a single-parent household. The parent had a cancer diagnosis and was undergoing treatment whilst the main carer for her children. The family link worker worked with all members of the family. This included family sessions with all members of the family present, and 1:1 support to address the specific needs of the parent and each child. Emotional and practical support was offered and the Family Link Worker co-ordinated with the children's two schools, ensuring that all professionals working with the family had a full understanding of their needs.
SEND adviser working in each of the nine primary schools, funded by The Coastal Collective . Following SEND audits funded by The Coastal Collective in 2023-2024, each of the nine primary schools developed a strategic plan, supported by the SEND adviser. Support was tailored to the needs of each school and the children they were caring for.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 AUGUST 2025
In one school, enhanced provision was developed for three pupils with complex needs who could not access the curriculum. A bespoke curriculum and dedicated hub were created. Three Teaching Assistants, who would deliver the enhanced provision, were trained and accessed ongoing support. This enabled the curriculum to be refined over time, ensuring that the individual needs of each child were addressed. The SENCo reported significant progress for a Year 1 child who had previously displayed unsafe behaviours. In a calm environment, the child began engaging in play, making choices, and communicating in short sentences. Staff reported feeling safer and better able to meet the children's needs.
In another school, early language and communication was identified as a priority following the audit. Supported by the SEND adviser, the school SENCo undertook a period of research and learning. This included a review of Educational Endowment Foundation (EEF) research to identify the most impactful and value for money approaches. The school SENCo completed the necessary training, and, by July 2025, the school was ready to implement OxEd Language Screen and Nuffield Early Language Intervention, a programme which has been evaluated and highly recommended by the EEF.
Specialist
Educational Psychologist commissioned to work in partnership with the nine primary schools with one visit per school per term . Regular access to an educational psychologist has had a significant positive impact on each school's ability to identify and respond to children's individual needs at an early stage. Professional assessment and specialist insight provided has helped to accurately identify learning, emotional, behavioural and developmental needs, ensuring that support was timely and appropriate. Close collaboration with teachers and teaching assistants has strengthened planning and delivery of effective, evidence based strategies within classroom practice, leading to improved outcomes for pupils. The educational psychologist supported strong partnerships between the school and parents, promoting a shared understanding of each child's needs and enabling consistent approaches across home and school. Overall, this contributed to more inclusive practice, improved wellbeing, and a clearer focus on the best interests of the child.

Principal funding sources
The charity is funded mainly by The Lytham Schools Foundation.
Investment policy and objectives
The Charity's powers of investment are governed by its articles of association
Reserves policy
TLSF transferred £30,000 into The CC's bank account when it opened. This initial transfer of £30,000, over and above the annual grant of £300,000 continues to be maintained as far as possible and is used as a reserve. TLSF have given their assurance that the monthly grant The Coastal Collective receives from them is guaranteed until August 2028. £30,000 represents about 3 months operating expenditure, a level of general, unrestricted reserves the trustees believe is appropriate and prudent to keep. At the end of 2024/25 there was an unrestricted reserve of £26,539. The trustees are actively managing the charity to return to the £30,000 level.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 AUGUST 2025
FUTURE PLANS
Plans for the coming year are based on the following key objectives:
Develop early language interventions and support
Early language weaknesses and delays have profound impact on children's wellbeing. Language delays impact on:
-
Learning and attainment, affecting overall cognitive development
-
Poor literacy development
-
Social and emotional impact as children cannot express their feeling. This leads to low self-esteems, anxiety or withdrawal, frustration and feelings of isolation. This is often misinterpreted as behavioural problems. If unresolved, early language delays are linked to ongoing learning difficulties, poor mental health outcomes and reduced employment opportunities in adulthood. Coastal Collective strategies will include:
-
OxEd NELI (Nuffield Early Language Intervention) training for Coastal Collective practitioners.
-
Delivery of NELI intervention to groups of 2 to 4-year-olds at our community hubs, building collaborations with nursery settings and the wider community.
-
Engage with nine primary schools to implement OxEd Language Screen. This is a nation-wide, evidence-based assessment tool which will identify the language needs of every child in a Lytham St Annes primary school. This will provide a detailed language screen assessment for between 2500-3000 children aged from 4 to 11 years in Lytham St Annes.
Work in partnership with health teams
-
Develop new working relationships with Primary Mental Health Workers (PMHW) within NHS services to increase awareness of the support offered by the Coastal Collective and ensure its interventions are embedded within the graduated approach to mental health care. By collaborating closely with PMHW, the charity aims to support early identification of needs, improve referral pathways, and address gaps in provision, ensuring that individuals receive timely, appropriate, and joined?up support.
-
Develop effective collaboration with NHS Speech and Language Therapy services to better understand speech, language and communication needs across the community. The charity will share data from the new Language Screen tool to inform responsive, evidence?based practice. A graduated model of universal and targeted support will enable early identification, timely intervention and clear pathways for children and families. This will ensure referrals are informed by need, prioritising children requiring specialist services.
Procure Outcomes Star to better understand our baseline data and measure the journey of change through data capture.
The Outcomes Star measurement and tracking tool will be implemented to provide a clear and accurate assessment of the needs of children receiving direct support. It will allow us to track outcomes over time and ensure future interventions are targeted, responsive, and evidence-based.
Bring greater clarity to our work with children and families and use evidence-based programmes and approaches which build independence, resilience and sustainability.
Implement Hamish & Milo Wellbeing programmes. These evidence-based programmes will be used to develop structured, consistent approaches, meeting a wide range of wellbeing needs. New reporting structures will be implemented to inform schools and parents of progress made at the end of direct work with children.
The charity will employ a creative therapist to support children with a range of emotional and mental health needs.
Identify a new centre for delivery of community groups to ensure that all families across Lytham St Annes can access support
Develop a new programme to be delivered at Park View Pod from September 2025. This new location for community groups creates greater geographical coverage, helping more families across Lytham St Annes to access support.
