- Nicola Thomas -Anthony Ager

2. Objectives and Activities

We work with young people facing barriers to learning, including those from economically disadvantaged families, young carers, and pupils at risk of disengagement.
3. Public Benefit Statement

4. Achievements and Performance
4.1. Happy Holiday Club – National Lottery Awards for All (£20,000)
Future Proof Coaching delivered the Happy Holiday Club funded by the National Lottery. The project supported children in Years 5 and 6 preparing for transition to secondary school. Children gained confidence, made new friends, reduced anxiety, and built social skills. Parents reported significant improvements in wellbeing and readiness for Year 7.
Accounting note:
Although the full £20,000 grant had been received before 3 October, the majority of project payments occurred after this date. Therefore, at year-end, some Lottery funds still appeared in the charity’s bank account. This does not indicate underspend. All remaining Lottery funds were fully spent by the end of November, in line with the approved funding schedule, and the end-of-grant monitoring report was submitted confirming full expenditure.
4.2. Future Proof Learning Boost – Community Foundation Wales (£2,000)
On 3 October, Future Proof Coaching received a £2,000 grant from Community Foundation Wales (Fund for Wales / People’s Postcode Lottery). The project, starting next year, will provide weekly small-group tutoring and mentoring for Young Carers in Years 9–11 who are falling behind in English and Maths.
As the funds were received at the end of the reporting period, no expenditure has yet taken place. The full £2,000 is carried forward as restricted funding for delivery in the next financial year.

The deposits in this account may be eligible for protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The information sheet and exclusion list that provide more information and details about the FSCS can be found at https://monzo.com/legal/business-account-fscs-information/.

Important information about compensation arrangements
The account(s) listed in this statement are eligible for cover under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
We're covered by the FSCS. The FSCS compensate depositors if a bank can't meet its financial obligations. Most depositors – including most individuals and businesses – are covered by the scheme. We'll give you the FSCS information sheet and exclusions list once a year. This tells you what is and isn't covered by the FSCS in lots of detail.
The FSCS protects eligible deposits up to £85,000 per person. The FSCS apply this limit to each person, and to the total combined amount of any money you have with the provider. For joint accounts, each account holder has a claim to their share separately. That means that in a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount each person could claim is £85,000 each (for a total of £170,000).
For more information about FSCS compensation, head to the FSCS website at www.FSCS.org.uk
