Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st March 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
A summary of the objects of the charity as set out in its governing document.
In the interests of social rehabilitation and in furtherance of public education to promote and develop in collaboration with other bodies and organisations within the London Borough of Hounslow (LBH), new initiatives for children and young people in trouble with particular, but not exclusive, reference to the provision of alternatives to residential care and custody.

The charity's aims include the changes or differences it seeks to make through its activities, including public benefit provided by the charity.
The vision of the charity is to promote and develop programmes to meet the social, cultural, and educational needs of children and young people within LBH, particularly those at risk of social exclusion, and show them possibilities that they might not have imagined.

An explanation of the charity's main objectives
We remain focused on developing our services in response to needs. We continually review and enhance our services to ensure they are all accessible and meet the needs of our community. Our services are delivered from eight strategically placed centres, to reach the most vulnerable young people and families. We still have access to the high-specification centres which are provided as in-kind support from our community and corporate partners, such as the Treaty Centre Hounslow, and Chiswick House & Gardens. Working with centres across Hounslow remains part of our long-term strategy to provide agile, flexible, and far-reaching services in a cost-effective way. Our young people also have access to the Forest School at the Bridge Primary Centre where they plant a wide range of flowers benefiting from being in calm therapeutic spaces. We are continuing to use our expertise in developing under-used community assets to deliver our services and work with a broader range of community partners, tapping into additional capabilities and capacity.

We continue to provide face-to-face, telephone, and digital support as a means of maintaining the widest possible range of services to meet specific needs and respond to the physical and mental health needs of children and families. However, most young people and families prefer face-to-face services, and the majority of services continue to be delivered this way.

As part of our ongoing commitment to co-developing services with young people families and other stakeholders, we monitor and review HAY's services regularly to ensure they are effective and cost-efficient, meeting the needs of the most vulnerable young people and families in our community. Evaluating our services and responding to the needs of young people and families continues to be a priority for HAY and we have a dedicated team of social research volunteers and research consultants, which is led by our Monitoring & Evaluation Manager, as well as training and support with NCVO, Ealing & Hounslow CVS and other monitoring and evaluation training and resource bodies.
We have maintained good relations with those grant-giving foundations that support our work, whilst cultivating relationships with prospective donors in order that we can continue to diversify our income streams. We continue to seek funding for core costs as well as project funding. As in previous years, staff and young people have also raised funds for projects and activities.

We continue to develop good working relationships with corporate partners, who have supported the development of our Project through funding, access to open spaces and their technical expertise.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
HAY's Programmes

Youth Bonds Project - A preventative high-intensity referral programme for 100 young people aged 7-12 with learning and behavioural difficulties and challenging behaviour. These young people are on the extreme margins of society, on the periphery of crime. 55% are neurodivergent - autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexic. They are also from families who have been impacted by deprivation, neglect, and abuse with many children affected by adverse childhood experiences.

This year the Youth Bonds project saw an increase in referrals of 7-year-olds by 40%. These referrals included young people who had regressed in their speech and language due to the pandemic, young people who were struggling with being back in school, socialising with peers, selective mutism, struggling to keep up with schoolwork, unable to regulate emotions, particularly at lunchtime and break times leading to them being unable to take part in particular activities and increasing anxieties. The transition from year 2 to year 3 (infants to primary) comes with the expectation that young people aged 7-8 years old will be able to cope with a certain level of independence. Due to these young people missing a lot of school during lockdowns, they have struggled to adapt to the demands of school, particularly the transition from infants to juniors.

Increased support for the parents was a crucial part of ensuring they felt better able to support their children and themselves, by meeting and socialising with other parents, getting support for the difficulties they were facing and access to our speech therapists who helped parents whilst they were on waiting lists.

Young Women's Project - Our Young Women's creative writing project has supported 90 young women to increase their creativity, literacy, and other core skills. We targeted care leavers and those at risk of gangs and sexual exploitation. We use the arts to engage hard-to-reach young women and raise the aspirations of young women caught in family cycles of underachievement and unemployment. Workshops are facilitated by award-winning women authors who motivate young women, helping to increase aspirations and engagement.
The project enabled young women to use these skills to apply for jobs, work placements, and further education. Participants are transferring learnings from the project to day-to-day situations into real-world opportunities, for example, writing job applications, communicating confidently with others, and engaging with services. This is helping young women progress in their lives.

Our workshops create a safe and encouraging space for young women to write their stories about past traumas, memories, and difficult emotions. This allows young women to channel difficult feelings, build meaningful connections, and develop a better understanding of themselves. Participants tell us they are gradually developing better self-awareness and reflecting on their own and others' behaviour through writing, which is helping them improve relationships with their families. Writing, publishing and performing is also improving their confidence and empowering them to visualise themselves and their past experiences from different perspectives. For young women with emotional difficulties, this has been vital to help them find strengths and strategies to cope with trauma and intrusive thoughts.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The young women have worked towards the next anthology, exploring how their lives have changed post-pandemic, the new norm, re-engaging in nature and the outdoors after experiencing two very challenging years of isolation. The new Anthology is called 'Perspectives' and will be launched in August this year.

Youth Entrepreneur Project - Our Youth Entrepreneur Project provided enterprise and technology workshops for young people with special educational needs, those leaving care, and young people not in education, employment, or training. This project was co-developed with young people during the pandemic. They felt that the increasing learning gaps and increasing rates of youth unemployment as a result of the pandemic would have a significant impact on their futures. They wanted support to explore their own business ideas and build their employability skills to increase their chances of success.

The workshops were delivered in partnership with the award-winning Ultra-Education team and the programme is accredited by ASDAN. Young people gained valuable qualifications, improving access to education, employment, apprenticeships, or training.

We were able to engage and work with one of the most vulnerable groups in the community. We were referred to young people who were Tier 3 with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The young people we worked with in this group have been diagnosed with mental health disorders including depression, psychosis, bipolar, eating disorders, low mood and diagnosed disabilities. We also worked with more young people who identified as being from the LGBTQIA community. These young people would not have been able to access the programme unless we had the funds to deliver it to them. Most of these young people were either NEET or at high risk of being NEET due to the difficulties they faced. This group of young people had never explored entrepreneurship.

A big success for this year was having access to the Wembley Youth Business Fair and the Winter Fair held by the CATE centre. It allowed every young person to launch and exhibit their business. For those young people who were able to manage large crowds, they exhibited at the Wembley Youth Business Fair. Over 1200 people attended the business fair and young people had their own stalls and customers to sell to. In addition to this, they got to network with other young people who were entrepreneurs. On this day, the young people made over £500 in sales. We worked with the CATE centre to plan a winter fair for our more vulnerable young people. The young people who wanted to launch their business here decided that they would donate 10% of their profits to Youth Minds charity.
Young people developed and launched 6 clothing brands, a hot chocolate and book business called- Chocolate Chapters, a make-up brand for the BAME community, a healthy protein shake business, a mocktail business, an artist selling her own drawings as prints, eco-friendly sabre swords, handmade candle and jewellery, a DJ (who DJ'd at the winter fair) a music performer who performed at the fair.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Volunteer Training - Our Volunteer Manager continues to develop our volunteer training and supervision programmes and systems. We provide high levels of training and support for our dedicated and highly trained pool of volunteers. Over the coming year, we plan to continue to recruit, support and retain more volunteers from the community, ensuring people in the community are involved in the delivery of our work.

Our established internship programmes, where volunteers gain skills across a range of including project management, finance, fundraising, and communications continue to support the work we do. We have sustained our collaboration with our local Volunteer Centre, NCVO, London Youth, Partnership for Young London and other volunteer training bodies to ensure our volunteers have access to high-quality training. Skills gained have enabled people in our community to access employment and training for thriving futures.

We closely monitor our services and adapt accordingly based on feedback from young people, parents, volunteers, and partner organisations. We hold quarterly consultations, so they are meaningfully involved in the matters that affect them and their community.

Public benefit
In shaping the objective for the year and planning the charity's activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit under section 17(5) of the Charities Act, 2011. It is the trustees' opinion that the charity in its present form is for the public benefit under the principles set out in Charity Commission guidance.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity continues to review its programmes and the funding available to them.

We continue to build on our partnerships with businesses, community groups, and education sectors to channel in-kind support.

We have improved our mechanisms of working with community partners across the Borough, developing strong relationships and widening our networks, so we can continue to channel high-quality resources to young people.
We have been able to secure funding from UK Youth Thriving Minds to recruit an additional Youth Worker to meet the increase in demand for our services. The funding is also to help us develop a comprehensive training, support, supervision, and well-being programme for our Youth Workers, many of whom have lived experience and require wide-ranging support. This programme will help us to raise the quality and effectiveness of our work and lead the way in innovation in relation to supporting youth workers. We are currently in the process of developing a year-long programme encompassing a wide range of learning and development and mental health support services across arts, heritage, talking therapies, drama, and retreats.

We supported 600 young people and parents this year.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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.

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.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
