Objectives and activities
Aim and Purpose
Beyond the Wall is a charity providing day opportunities for individuals with additional needs aged 18+. The charity offers purposeful work related activities combining developments of skills, physical and mental wellbeing all achieved through a carefully planned programme of therapeutic and purposeful activities.
Objectives and Activities
We are committed to providing a purposeful, safe and supported environment for our clients to develop their skills through meaningful activities in accordance with their particular needs. These needs are assessed either by our trained and qualified staff, by Service Level agreements with the referring statutory bodies or institutions for the students and with the involvement of clients, parents and carers.
In consideration of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit, our activities focus upon skills for life and the application of practical and theoretical teaching of students to meet the range of identified need. Our guiding principal is to facilitate transition of students into jobs or occupations, voluntary or otherwise, by our interaction with associates and providers.
Criteria used for assessing success
Our Mission
Is the pursuit of the following principles:
-
Commitment -Beyond The Wall encourages and supports development of friendships, interpersonal skills, and a sense of hope in the future
-
Responsibility the focus of Beyond The Wall is to empower individuals in establishing goals and following through on commitments
-
Possibility Beyond The Wall desires to expand the perspective of all people to make them aware of life's possibilities
-
Support Beyond The Wall recognises how an individual is influenced by their support system and aims to surround individuals in a safe, inclusive learning environment
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake.
Significant activities
What we do and where we do it
The late Lord Henniker was ahead of his time as he set up provision on his estate alongside his surviving widow because he believed that the 'outside classroom' developed three main lessons for life:
1 - love and respect for the environment
2 - a journey away from home that develops confidence, self-esteem, allowing the less academic to shine, encouraging individual learning
3 - communication and risk - ideas developed with teams creating good communication, leadership and reciprocity (give in return)
Grant making policy
Grantmaking
The Trust does not make grants unless a benefactor or grantor requires grant making as a restriction.
Volunteers
Volunteers
We would like to thank all of our supporters and partners who we have worked with this year. A full list of these can be found on our website www.beyondthewall.org.uk and it is truly heartening that so many recognise the value of the charity's work.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Charitable activities
The Charity has held four fundraising events in the twelve months from April 2024 to March 2025 which raised in the region of £3,000 after costs. The events are very well attended and go a long way in promoting inclusion and raising awareness about what the charity does. Parents, carers and clients are some of the main attenders who see the events as an opportunity to see the work being carried out at the garden.
Clients
Numbers: clients come and go but numbers are generally around 28. Client rates reflect the amount of support and personal care, this is carefully monitored and adjusted as required. We currently facilitate 58 placements over five days. During this time there were no new referrals, the project currently has space for four low support placements.
Local Authority Contracts
The charity holds framework agreements with both Suffolk and Norfolk local authorities to provide adult social care placements. Social care is at a pivotal point and both Local authorities have been transparent that there are difficult times.
Suffolk Local Authority
The organisation retendered for the existing Suffolk framework contract in 2023 and remains on the framework until 2030. During that time the day service may be subject to inspections and will need to adhere to the framework legislation.
Norfolk Local Authority
The organisation tendered for the Norfolk life opportunities framework in 2022 which they were successful in joining. The day service then further tendered for the skills and employment framework at the end of 2023 which creates more opportunities for diversification of what can be offered to clients.
Staffing
Trustees are very conscious of the loyal and competent service provided by all current members of staff and volunteers who numbers have risen in the past year to 3 full-time workers and 4 part-time workers.
Fundraising performance
The charity has been fortunate to obtain restricted funding from the following grant giving organisations/funds
-
Coop community fund
-
Green party
-
Gardening with disabilities
-
Harleston Ladies group
The charity is incredibly grateful for these invaluable sources of funding which have enabled the organisation to achieve many things in this period.
Resources
The organisation is embarking on the replacement of the dilapidated glasshouses, a project that has needed attention for some time. Complexities relating to heritage, planning and long standing defects have meant getting to planning stage has been drawn out. The charity is working closely with the landowners to ensure a sustainable way forward that benefits both the garden overall and the charity. Repairs and maintenance of the site and buildings are always a priority and draw on resources.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial review
Reserves policy
The last financial year has been productive with donations increasing as well as ventures such as plant sales and a cafe operated by our clients. This has helped to increase our income a little but the uplift applied to all our clients' accounts by all local authorities for the last 2 years has been the main contribution to our income.
It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the trust’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The Board consider this amounts to at least £84,000.
Principal funding sources
Principal funding sources
Income is principally raised through client fees from individuals, local authorities, health providers and other local organisations. Beyond the Wall partners include Suffolk and Norfolk County Councils and the charity receives regular referrals from social workers; private and family sources and Social Services.
We are very much self sufficient in our day to day based on client income and enterprise income, however we do rely on support from grants and fundraising events for additional costs such as glasshouses, major repairs etc.
Major risks
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the trust is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
The future holds many challenges for the project with the continuing economic situation particularly impacting on individual budgets and the voluntary sector as a whole. To combat this we aim to keep building up our local networks, establish more links with local schools and to continue to look at more collaborative relationships with organisations in the private, public and third sectors. Only by doing this will we continue to achieve our objectives of helping disadvantaged individuals realise their aspirations in the form of mainstream education, supported volunteering or employment.
Structure, governance and management
The trust is constructed under a trust deed dated 10th July 1985.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mrs A Hosford Cavan Davidson Gillian Davidson
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Trustees are elected by the Board of Trustees and are expected to be conversant with the Trustee Induction process and to undergo safeguarding training. Trustees are also involved in the PQASSO programme of Quality Assurance.
Organisational structure
Governance
The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for governance of the Project and ensuring that all activities are in line with the agreed Aims and Objectives of the Project. The Trustees meet a minimum of four times per year and receive reports from key personnel, including financial accounts, for the purpose of monitoring progress and initiatives promoting the Project.

THORNHAM FIELD CENTRE TRUST T/A BEYOND THE WALL INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THORNHAM FIELD CENTRE TRUST
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Thornham Field Centre Trust (the trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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 trust as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.

THORNHAM FIELD CENTRE TRUST T/A BEYOND THE WALL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Thornham Field Centre Trust is a charitable trust constructed under a trust deed dated 10th July 1985.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the trust.
1.4 Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
- Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Website 20% straight line
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold land and buildings | 10% reducing balance |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 25% reducing balance |
| Fixtures and fittings | 25% reducing balance |
| Computers | 25% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | 25% reducing balance |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.9 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.11 Financial instruments
The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
