PRISM YOUTH PROJECT 

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

trustees have adopted the provisions of Accoun�ng and Repor�ng by Chari�es: Statement of Recommended Prac�ce applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effec�ve 1 January 2019). 

## BACKGROUND 

challenges in mainstream educa�onal se�ngs. The charity was founded to address the growing need for specialised services that cater to pupils with Social, Emo�onal, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and those at risk of permanent exclusion from mainstream schools. 

Over the years, Prism Youth Project has developed a reputa�on for its holis�c approach to educa�on and its commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people. The charity works closely with schools, local authori�es, and families to provide tailored interven�ons that help young people re-engage with educa�on, develop essen�al life skills, and build the resilience needed to succeed in their future endeavours. 

At the core of our work is the belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full poten�al, regardless of their background or challenges. We provide academic support and social and emo�onal guidance, ensuring our pupils can overcome barriers in their educa�on and personal lives. 

Essen�al Services and Areas of Focus: 

- students permanently excluded from mainstream schools or at risk of exclusion. These programs provide a more flexible and suppor�ve environment tailored to each pupil's needs. 

- Support for Pupils with EHCPs: We specialise in working with students who have Educa�on, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs), ensuring that they receive the specialised support required to meet their educa�onal and developmental goals. 

- Family and Community Engagement: Prism Youth Project strongly emphasises working with families and the wider community to support the holis�c development of the young people in our care. We aim to foster strong partnerships with parents and carers, providing them with the tools and resources to support their children’s educa�on. 

- skills, resilience, and emo�onal intelligence, preparing young people for their next steps in educa�on, training, or employment. 

commitment to innova�on, inclusion, and posi�ve outcomes for young people has driven us to expand our reach and impact across the region. The forthcoming incorpora�on and ambi�ous expansion plans will ensure that we can con�nue to serve the young people of West and North Yorkshire for years to come.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

## Principal Risks and Uncertain�es 

these risks. A risk register is maintained, and measures are implemented to address iden�fied risks. The most significant risks and the strategies to mi�gate them are as follows: 

- primarily financial, stemming from challenges in securing consistent funding from Bradford Local Authority, our primary funder. With the financial pressures on the Local Authority, there is a poten�al risk of funding reduc�ons. To mi�gate this, we are proac�vely diversifying our income streams by seeking alterna�ve funding sources including grants and partnerships, to reduce our reliance on local authority funding. 

- Increased demand for services: With a growing number of pupils requiring our services, par�cularly those with SEMH needs, there is a risk that our resources could become overstretched. We are carefully managing our expansion plans to ensure they are financially sustainable. 

- Commi�ee to support Prism Youth Project's ongoing growth and success. Finding suitable trustees with the necessary skills and exper�se has proven to be a challenge, mainly as we work to expand our services and navigate the incorpora�on process. In response, we have begun contac�ng school governors' recruitment agencies to assist us in iden�fying and a�rac�ng qualified individuals. This outreach effort is crucial to ensure that our governance structure remains robust and can guide the charity through its next development phase. 

## Financial Review 

ensure the sustainability of our services and con�nued support for young people facing significant challenges. Our financial strategy is centred on careful budge�ng, prudent financial management, and the diversifica�on of income sources to reduce our reliance on any single funding stream. 

## INCOME 

The charity received total income of £2,312,231 in the year from various sources, including: 

- services to pupils with Educa�on, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) and those excluded from mainstream educa�on. However, the ongoing financial pressures on the local authority highlight the importance of reducing our dependency on this single source. 

- Grant funding and dona�ons: We have successfully secured grants from charitable trusts and founda�ons, helping to support our work with vulnerable pupils, par�cularly those with Social, Emo�onal, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. As we move forward, we are working to increase fundraising efforts and develop partnerships with more charitable organisa�ons. 

- School partnerships: We also generate income through partnerships with local schools by providing tailored support and interven�ons for students at risk of exclusion. 

## EXPENDITURE 

key areas: 

- teachers, support workers, and mental health professionals. We con�nue to ensure that all staff salaries align with Na�onal Joint Council (NJC) guidelines, which are reviewed and adjusted annually. 

- Opera�onal costs: This includes expenses related to the day-to-day running of our programs and facili�es, such as rent, u�li�es, and materials needed for delivering our services effec�vely.

PRISM YOUTH PROJECT 

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

## CAPITAL INVESTMENTS 

The charity invested £130,594 in capital projects during the year. As part of our expansion plans, we are preparing for new site developments to accommodate addi�onal Key Stage 4 and 5 students, with a par�cular focus on suppor�ng those with SEMH needs. Through careful financial planning, we have successfully managed opera�onal costs while se�ng aside funds for future capital investments. 

## SUMMARY 

a surplus of £131,500 for the financial year 2024/2025 (2024: £309,920). The surplus consists of a surplus of restricted funds of £18,992 (2024: deficit of £20,011) and a deficit of £60,742 (2024: surplus of £419,228) arising on un restricted funds. This surplus arising on restricted funds is primarily due to �ming differences between when funding is received and when it is spent. In some cases, funding may be received upfront, while the associated spending occurs in later years. Conversely, there are instances where expenses are incurred before the corresponding funding is received. These �ming mismatches are inherent to the lifecycle of many projects and do not indicate a shor�all in overall funding. As the projects progress, these differences are expected to balance out, ensuring that restricted funds are appropriately allocated over �me. Our overall surplus reflects the charity’s ability to manage its opera�ons within its means while con�nuing to deliver essen�al services to vulnerable young people. 

## Reserves Policy 

at a range between 15% of its annual core expenditure plus one month salary costs, and three month’s opera�ng expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding or short-term financial disrup�on, they will be able to con�nue the charity’s current ac�vi�es while considera�on is given to ways in which addi�onal funds may be raised. 

The charity has a range of legal and moral responsibili�es to funders of its services, to those who use its services, as well as contractual commitments to employees. At 31st August 2025 the free reserves of the charity were £248,488 (2023: £373,565). This equates to 11% (2024: 19%) of annual expenditure. This amount falls within the with the range specified in the reserves policy, set between £232,483 and £545,183. The reserves are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes 

In July 2025, the Trustees approved a further alloca�on of £173,250 for future projects and capital works planned for 2025/26. This amount has been set aside in designated reserves. 

## Fundraising ac�vi�es 

services. We do not ac�vely fundraise from the public, no commercial fundraisers or par�cipators are engaged. We received dona�ons and grants from charitable trusts and founda�ons, corporate sponsors, and individual donors, all of which are ac�vely pursued by our dedicated fundraising officer. 

Fundraising in the charity sector has been regulated by the fundraising Regulator since 2015. However, the charity itself is not directly registered with the regulator. The Trustees are not aware of any failure by the charity to comply with this regula�on and no complaints have been received in rela�on to any form of fundraising. 

## Plans For Future Periods 

Looking ahead, the charity has ambi�ous plans to expand and diversify our support for vulnerable pupils and their families. Our key aims and objec�ves for the future include: 

- Building a Strong and Diverse Team: We plan to create a skilled and mul�disciplinary team to work closely with schools in West and North Yorkshire. This team will focus on keeping pupils in school as an alterna�ve to exclusions, providing in-school support, interven�ons, and training for staff to manage challenging behaviours and reduce the need for exclusions.

PRISM YOUTH PROJECT 

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

- Parent Representa�ves: We will introduce parent representa�ves who will support families by helping them be�er understand the educa�on system, advocate for their children, and navigate the complexi�es of special educa�onal needs and alterna�ve provision. This will strengthen the partnership between parents and schools, improving outcomes for pupils. 

- New Site for Key Stage 5: We are also looking to open a new site to support Key Stage 5 pupils with Social, Emo�onal, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This will enable us to serve more students in the region and offer specialised support tailored to their unique challenges. By addressing the increased demand for SEMH provision, we aim to reduce the number of excluded pupils and improve educa�onal outcomes for those most at risk. 

- Expansion for Key Stage 5 in West/North Yorkshire: Recognising the growing need for post-16 (Key Stage 5) educa�onal support in West Yorkshire, we are ac�vely exploring developing a new site. This facility will cater to students with addi�onal needs, par�cularly those at risk of falling out of educa�on, training, or employment. This expansion will allow us to provide con�nued educa�on and voca�onal pathways for students beyond Key Stage 

- to incorpora�on, scheduled for 2025. Becoming an incorporated en�ty will allow us more legal protec�on and flexibility and enhance our ability to secure funding and develop long-term strategies for growth and sustainability. This move will mark a cri�cal step in our evolu�on, ensuring that we can con�nue to serve our community effec�vely in the years to come. Although the process has been challenging and requires considerable �me and resources, we are commi�ed to seeing this through in 2025, as it will ul�mately strengthen our governance and opera�ons. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

## GOVERNING DOCUMENT 

Prism Youth Project is a registered charity; the governing document is a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 20th September 2010, which replaced the former trusts of the charity. 

## GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

Trustees are selected from individuals who express an interest in the charity’s work and are commi�ed to advancing its objec�ves. New trustees are formally appointed through a majority vote by the exis�ng trustees.

## KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL REMUNERATION 

Remunera�on of key management personnel is reviewed annually by the trustees. Annual salary adjustments are approved as per the Na�onal Joint Council (NJC) guidelines, ensuring that staff are fairly compensated. This policy ensures that we remain compe��ve and able to retain high-quality staff. Increases are made in line with the rise in living expenses, and due to a surplus in the budget, we have started to bring all salaries across the school in line with wages in special schools.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PRISM YOUTH PROJECT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

## Opinion 

comprise of the Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es, the Balance Sheet, the Cash flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accoun�ng policies. The financial repor�ng framework that has been applied in their prepara�on is applicable law and United Kingdom Accoun�ng Standards, including Financial Repor�ng Standard 102 The Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce).

- • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011. 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Interna�onal Standards on Audi�ng (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibili�es under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibili�es for the audit of the financial statements sec�on of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibili�es in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions rela�ng to going concern 

concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accoun�ng in the prepara�on of the financial statements is appropriate. 

that, individually or collec�vely, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to con�nue as a going concern for a period

Our responsibility is to read the other informa�on and, in doing so, consider whether the other informa�on is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we iden�fy such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other informa�on, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

## Responsibili�es of trustees 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibili�es statement, the trustees are responsible for the prepara�on of the financial statements and for being sa�sfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the prepara�on of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We have been appointed as auditor under sec�on 144 of the Chari�es Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regula�ons made or having effect thereunder. 

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of 

Irregulari�es, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regula�ons. We design procedures in line with our responsibili�es, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregulari�es, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detec�ng irregulari�es, including fraud is detailed below: 

- the engagement Director RI ensured that the engagement team collec�vely had the appropriate competence, capabili�es and skills to iden�fy or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regula�ons; 

- and from our knowledge and experience of this organisa�on; 

- statements or the opera�ons of charity, including the Chari�es Act 2011, OFSTED regula�ons and employment law; 

- management and trustees; 

- to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit of the charity. 99999

PRISM YOUTH PROJECT 

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PRISM YOUTH PROJECT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025 

understanding of how fraud might occur, by; 

- making enquiries of management and trustees as to where they considered there was suscep�bility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

- considering the internal controls in place to mi�gate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regula�ons. 

To address the risks of fraud through management bias and override controls, we: 

- performed analy�cal procedures to iden�fy any unusual or unexpected variances; 

- tested journal entries to iden�fy unusual transac�ons; 

- assessed whether judgments and assump�ons made in determining accoun�ng es�mates were indica�ve of poten�al bias; and 

- 

In response to the risk of irregulari�es and non compliance with laws and regula�ons, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- 

- reading the minutes of mee�ngs of those charged with governance; 

- enquiring of management as to actual and poten�al li�ga�on and claims. 

Because of the inherent limita�ons of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregulari�es, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regula�on. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regula�on is removed from the events and transac�ons reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregulari�es occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves inten�onal concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenta�on. 

- A further descrip�on of our responsibili�es is available on the FRC's website at: h�ps://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit assurance/auditor-s-responsibili�es-for-the-audit-of-the-f/descrip�on-of-the-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibili�es-for. This descrip�on forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those ma�ers we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permi�ed by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
