The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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 2019)

Objectives and activities

At Made for More, our mission is to engage and inspire a generation with the message that their lives have value, their lives have purpose, and that their choices matter.

The charity’s objects are: To advance the education of children and young people in Northern Ireland under the age of 25, focusing on their mental health and well-being, supporting young people on their journey of wholeness. We aim to achieve this via a 3-strand approach called Equip, Empower, Enable.

Equip : This generation with the knowledge and understanding needed to better look after their mental health.

Empower : Leaders, youth workers and volunteers with education and strategies, helping them confidently cater for the common yet complexed needs of the young people in their care.

Enable : This generation to live happier, healthier lives, via the provision of strategies that promote positive mental health and resilience.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

During the year, we were blessed to have a core team of 5 full-time and 4 part-time members of staff which together with 3 interns and 8 volunteers, came together to faithfully operationally support the work of charity throughout the year

This year we had the incredible privilege of supporting 31,017 young people and youth leaders via 576 in-person workshops / talks across the range of sectors that we operate in.

Our service delivery has continued to evolve through the evolution and development of our existing workshops, while also introducing several new workshops, created in response to the feedback we have directly from young people and from education / youth sector leaders who we interact with.

Each workshop we deliver is designed to educate and support young people regarding the issues that are affecting

their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.

Outside of our work locally, Made for More embarked on our 3rd year supporting partners in East India and Salou Spain. We continue to see these partnerships grow and new doors continue to open to broaden the work of Made for More within the education sectors in both locations, as well as acting as a development opportunity for the great team of young people that work for us.

Training and resourcing others

A key component of our work involves the empowering of leaders, youth workers and volunteers. Through training and resources our aim is to help each beneficiary confidently cater for the common yet complexed needs of a generation

This year saw the successful launch of our training workshops and conferences, facilitating 15 sessions across the education, youth and faith sectors.

Impact

Across our talks within the education and youth sectors, we collected 5,573 surveys across the year.

The results of these surveys have shown us that:

1 in 3 of our children and young people said they were currently struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.

4 in 5 said they learned something new from the workshop.

2 in 3 said that they would make positive changes in their everyday lives as a consequence of the workshop

We asked attendees to state the contributing factors that affect your mental health negatively. The most common responses were: Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attack, Eating Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), SelfHarm & Navigating online.

Growth and development

Looking to the future, we have successfully transitioned into a new strategy which informs the immediate focus for the organisation under the logo ‘Equip, Empower and Enable’.

This initiative has been incredibly well received by both our partners and the young people that we serve.

The strategy will see Made for More focus on two key areas of influence:

Ÿ To continue to play a supporting role directly to over 30,000 young people per annum through our workshops, conferences and other programmes
Ÿ To focus on the training, empowering and resourcing of leaders and volunteers and partnering with organisations who play a supporting role to young people within the education, youth, faith and sports sectors.

To enable the delivery of this strategy we have implemented a new management structure with each of our existing full-time members of staff taking a lead role in a key area of responsibility within the organisation reporting to our Head of Operations namely Services, Interns & Volunteers, Projects and Development.

Fundraising practices

Fundraising & Financial Support

We were hugely indebted to the 125 runners who participated in the Belfast Marathon on behalf of Made for More as part our annual fundraiser, ‘More than a Run’. The outworking of this event saw runners not only raise the profile of the charity but also raise over £36,000 to help facilitate our workshops with the education, youth, faith, sports and community sectors.

We are so thankful to all those who have contributed in any way, either prayerfully or financially, to the work of Made for More during the year. Your ongoing interest and willingness to support our work is hugely appreciated and fundamental to our ability to deliver our programme each year.

Financial review

The Trustees consider the financial results for the year and the financial position of the charity at the year end to be pleasing and encouraging.

The total income for the year was £288,492 (2024 - £271,722) with resources expended of £274,291 (2024 - £310,859), generating a surplus for the year of £14,201 (2024 - deficit of £39,137). At 31 August 2025 there are unrestricted reserves of £152,180 (2024 - £157,596).

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure.

Reserves policy

The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’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.

Major risks

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an annual review of its risk register, the risks the charity faces, the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee and registered in Northern Ireland (Company Number NI655226). It is governed by its Articles of Association, dated 3rd October 2018, and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission Northern Ireland (Charity Number NIC 107419).

The Articles of Association govern all relevant matters relating to Membership; becoming and ceasing to be a Member; the Organisation of General Meetings; the Role and Powers of Directors (including appointment and retirement); Administrative Arrangements; and Directors Indemnity and Insurance.

The directors state that they have fully adhered to all such requirements and provisions during the year in question.

The Board of Directors held regular meetings during the year to review and discuss the operations of the charity and the spending of funds.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF WE ARE MADE FOR MORE

We report to the charity trustees on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 20.

Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:

Ÿ examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008;
Ÿ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and
Ÿ to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiners' report

We have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

Our role is to state whether any material matters have come to our attention giving us any cause to believe:

2 That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
3 That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

We Are Made For More is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office is 26a Ballymaconaghy Road, Belfast, BT8 6SB.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity 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 are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. 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.

Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Support costs are those functions that assist work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support and other costs have been allocated to charitable activities based on actual usage by that activity.

1.6 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:

Computers 20% straight line Motor vehicles 20% straight line

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.

1.7 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
