TRUSTEES' REPORT
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31/03/2024
The trustees intend that this Annual Report also serves as the Statutory Directors' Report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association 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 (FRS102) (issued in January 2022).
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was to promote education, training and knowledge through multi media .
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
Reference and administrative details are provided in these accounts on page 1.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20 March 1987and registered as a charity on 13 January 1988, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association and on the winding up of the Charity each member will contribute £1.
Ariel Trust Limited has a Committee of Trustees, which normally meets every six weeks. The Board sets out and approves the policies to be adopted to achieve the Charity's objectives. In setting these policies the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The policies and the day to day management of the Charity are implemented by the Executive Director. The charity has a Development Plan, which it is using to focus on immediate, medium and long term aims. The work programme as detailed in the plan is developed and delivered by the executive director and the assistant director, supported by the staff team and a number of professional support workers.
Recruitment of Trustees is based upon diversity and equal opportunities. As a Board the Trustees represent the voluntary, public and private sectors. The Trustees are from wide ranging professional backgrounds including education, human resources, administration, legal and business and marketing.
Induction of new Trustees involves a detailed introductory programme where the new Trustee receives copies of Strategic and Business Planning documents, the financial statements and all other relevant policies and issues of the organisation and has time to discuss these with the Board and Executive Management. Board Away Days are normally held at least once per year when strategy is on the agenda. The Away Day is also an opportunity for training and updating Trustees on important matters. When training needs are identified an action plan is put in place and appropriate training delivered.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
The company is committed to the principle of equal opportunities, and is striving to become an equal opportunities employer and service provider.

Ariel is committed to the development and expansion of positive policies to promote equal opportunities in employment regardless of workers' colour, age, class, employment status, disability, gender, marital status, nationality, parental status, religious beliefs and sexual orientation. This principle will apply in respect of all conditions of work including rates of pay, hours of work, holiday entitlement, work allocation, guaranteed earning, sick pay, maternity pay, paternity pay, recruitment, training, promotion and redundancy.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Charity Trustees (who are also the directors of Ariel Trust 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).

In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed concern business risk and operating risk and in particular raising adequate funds or generating sufficient income to cover costs. The Board confirms that the day to day reporting systems and controls operated and regularly monitored by the organisation are designed to mitigate those risks. The Charity regularly reviews and updates risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Objects of the Charity are:
(i) To promote for the benefit of the public the furtherance of education, training, knowledge and understanding of all members of the public (with emphasis on the members of the public who are young, disadvantaged or facing the risk of social exclusion) through and in all aspects of sound, television and digital media; and
(ii) To advance in life and help young people through providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
A review of the objects has been carried out in line with the development of the charity's activities and a mission statement has been agreed:
- To improve the quality of education. We will develop models of best practice based on multimedia projects tackling social themes. At the heart of our work is an evidence-based approach designed to motivate and engage young people changing their attitudes, behaviour and levels of achievement.
Ariel Trust offers services to members of the public, with the emphasis on the members of the public who are young or disadvantaged. These services focus on using creativity and digital media to build skills and resilience, with a focus on communication skills. The organisation does this by:
i) Delivering education projects for young people
ii) Listening to the voices of young people and co-creating educational films and activities based on what they tell us
iii) Publishing high quality online resources for schools based on the ideas and experiences of the young people we work with

TRUSTEES' REPORT
iv) Delivering training for teachers to support them to deliver best practice in prevention education using Ariel's online resources and skillsbased approach
In delivering the activities the Charity is supported by a voluntary Board of Trustees. The Charity does not have any other volunteer programme.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Key Developments during 2023/24
Ariel went into 2023/24 with a delivery plan focused on continuing to deliver significant outcomes for young people across Merseyside, despite the ending of our lottery contract. This required us to maintain our staff team, including our sessional team. As a result, our budget included a planned deficit supported by the reserves that had been built up during the previous two years. These accounts reflect that planned deficit.
Face-to-face delivery in school was supported by the final period of funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation, enabling us to continue to work with local children and to improve our resources and teacher training offer. In 2023/24 this work focused on a new innovation; engaging parents as active participants in the forum theatre process.
Ariel continued to win contracts with local authorities and the Violence Reduction Partnership, these focused on engaging schools in our violence prevention resources through online teacher training and video support. During the year we were able to maintain our reach into one third of primary schools on Merseyside, exceeding the targets required by our contracts.
During the year, we invested significant management time into developing a new project proposal for The National Lottery. We worked closely with them to understand what a successful continuation application would require and developed a proposal that built on our successful forum theatre approach, extending it to put the active engagement of parents at the centre of the delivery. This time investment paid off, as we secured a new three-year contract beginning 1 April 2024.
Key Issues in Next Period
Our reliance on free reserves to maintain the organisation was a strategic investment in work that we believed would generate new income streams for Ariel. However, it was not something that could continue beyond the end of the 2023/24 financial year. Although we had secured new investment from The National Lottery before April, and had submitted another key application to Paul Hamlyn, we went into the new year with a significant deficit and made the short-term decision to reduce staff hours whilst waiting for funding decisions. This decision has paid off and by August we had received a positive decision from Paul Hamlyn, had achieved a balanced budget and grown the team of Theatre Practitioners supporting our work.

Ariel Trust Limited
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/03/2024
TRUSTEES' REPORT
Our other top priority is to focus on replacing the statutory funding that we have received in recent years from the Violence Reduction Partnership. This is uncertain as a result of the change in Government. We are focused on three key areas of work as part of this strategy:-
1 Investing time in developing key strategic partnerships across the five Merseyside local authorities, the Police and the PCC's Office and trying to ensure violence prevention education in primary schools is written into their strategy documents. This is in anticipation that budgets will be allocated by the Government to support violence prevention work, and that these partners are likely to have a role in future spending decisions.
2 Developing a series of grant funding applications that focus on the way that our programmes seek to improve communication between children and key adults in their lives, particularly parents, teachers and the Police. This whole community approach to keeping children safe represents a significant change in the way children's voices influence local policy and practice, and we believe this might open up a new route to grant support.
3 Developing a model for scaling up our programmes outside of Merseyside. We have begun to develop our scaling strategy, with support from consultants from Spring Impact. We are currently seeking to raise funds to create a new post with the capacity to move this work forward.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. The Statement of Financial Activities is on page 11.
Total incoming resources were £140,069 (2023 £119,610). Total resources expended were £195,631 (2023 £181,457). The net outgoing resources for the year were £55,562 (2023 net outgoing resources £61,847). The charity incurred a deficit on the unrestricted funds of £34,624 (2023 surplus £10,986) which has reduced the accumulated surplus carried forward on the unrestricted fund to £66,556. Total funds on the Balance Sheet at 31 March 2024 are £68,496 (2023 £124,058) being unrestricted funds £66,556 (2023 £101,180) and restricted funds of £1,940 (2023 £22,878).
The unrestricted funds comprise designated funds set aside for business reorganisation of £48,213 (2023 £41,405) and the general fund of £18,343 (2023 £59,775).
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
During the year there were no political or charitable donations.
FIXED ASSETS
page 8
Ariel Trust Limited
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/03/2024
TRUSTEES' REPORT
The movements on fixed assets are shown in the notes to the accounts.
RESERVES POLICY
The organisation is run on a not for profit basis but for prudent management and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities the Board aims to maintain a level of free reserves (that is those funds not tied up in fixed assets, designated or restricted funds) to establish a sustainable entity and guard against contingencies. The actual free reserves at 31 March 2024 were £18,332 (2023 £59,764). A total of £48,213 is prudently set aside that could be used for the purpose of reorganisation as described in the notes to the accounts.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Strategy for Long-term Sustainability
Our long-term strategy continues to focus on maintaining a diverse income profile. The establishing of Violence Reduction Partnerships has provided important opportunities to win public sector contracts for delivering our work over the last 5 years. However, the change of Government has created uncertainty about how this priority will be funded and delivered from 1 April 2025. It is clear violence prevention remains a priority for the new Government and they are committed to a Public Health approach, so we are optimistic that there will continue to be opportunities for us. Our current focus is on continuing to collect evidence to demonstrate our impacts and working with partners to ensure relevant strategic plans focus on the need for evidence-based practice.
We continue to have an active strategy of fundraising from Trusts and Foundations, particularly in relation to innovation and business development. Specifically, we are planning applications to Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The Fore as our top priorities.
