REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

For the Year to 31 August 2019

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objects, aims, strategy to achieve Worth Unlimited is a national Christian charity and social enterprise, dedicated to inspiring hope. We equip and support people to harness their passions, gifts, skills and talents to be locally rooted enablers of hope and transformation. Our extensive experience has taught us that people flourish and become change-makers when they have a good sense of self, healthy relationships and purpose. We have a substantial track record of working alongside people of all ages, particularly young people, to remove barriers, foster well-being and build stronger, more resilient, better connected communities. We are committed to making a high-quality, relational and innovative investment in our communities. Our teams provide mutual support and encouragement; sharing learning and good practice, to sustain each other for long-term working and making the greatest possible impact. Our member branches are situated in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, Loughton (Essex), Birmingham, Huddersfield, Lincolnshire, Doncaster, Colchester and Ellesmere Port with a variety of projects, including;

• Alternative education

• Counselling

• Detached youth work

• Mentoring

• Mobile youth bus

• Personal development programmes

• Residentials

• School-based provision

• Social enterprise training

• Social action opportunities

• “That Reading Thing” literacy programme

• Therapeutic horticulture

• Youth club sessions

• Work with young offenders

• Leadership training for emerging leaders from urban priority areas Our paid and voluntary youth workers focus on developing positive, transformative relationships with young people, using good youth work skills to help develop hope and potential in individuals. In order to facilitate this, we base our work around our four-stage Participant Pathway:

• Contact – building meaningful relationships of trust

• Interests and Activities – using fun activities to help young people to develop skills, confidence and self-esteem

• Focused Interventions – fostering young people’s personal development and enabling them to identify their purpose

• Giving Back – providing opportunities for young people to contribute to society and use their skills to benefit others

Review of activities and fundraising Worth Unlimited has a devolved ethos, so our branches relate primarily to their local communities. We retain the core functions of the organisation at our central office, but encourage innovation and bespoke solutions to local challenges in our branches. We are also keen to see the development of local people, particularly young people, where possible. This locally-focussed approach has its challenges, particularly around common fundraising, but we believe we have made significant progress over the past year. During the year, we invested time and finance in developing our infrastructure, including increasing our communications; refining and embedding our Theory of Change and mechanisms for impact assessment; and strengthening our central capacity for fundraising and developing social enterprise. Following some long-standing difficulties in securing appropriate funding and a number of staffing changes, we took the decision to close our Colchester (Out4Good) branch in February 2019. We are proud of everything that Out4Good achieved, providing intensive support for young adults experiencing complex needs and chaotic circumstances in Colchester, Essex. Between September 2017 and January 2019, Out4Good worked with 42 young adults, providing mentoring; delivering programmes in anger management, consequential thinking, communication skills and healthy relationships and supporting 10 people to secure and successfully maintain a tenancy.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

For the Year to 31 August 2019

We were delighted to welcome Darlington Area Churches Youth Ministry (DACYM), who joined us as a partner branch on 1st September 2019. While a registered charity and therefore legally a separate entity from Worth Unlimited, DACYM joined us because they wanted to belong to something bigger, while retaining their own identity. All of the tools, resources and services offered to member branches are available to partner branches. We have been grateful for ongoing partnerships with Newbigin House, Frontier Youth Trust, Open Door Community Foundation, the Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust and Firs and Bromford Neighbours Together, which have enabled us to cover some of the core costs of our organisation and therefore increase our capacity to drive forward our strategic plan. We are pleased to have resourced and served alongside them. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Worth Unlimited employs 25 youth workers (approximately 14 full time equivalents) through its branches, working in over 14 neighbourhoods. Over the course of the year we have had contact with over 2,900 young people. These young people will have varying levels of intervention with us. Some take part in short-term or drop-in type programmes, while others will be involved more intensive work, such as weekly mentoring or counselling. The highlights from each branch are as follows: Darlington (Darlington Area Churches Youth Ministry) DACYM specialises in emotional and behavioural support for young people, delivering a range of projects across Darlington and the surrounding areas, such as listening and mentoring; discussion groups; activities to support children transitioning from primary to secondary school; reflection/prayer spaces; residentials, outdoor activities and retreats for young people and RE and PSHE lessons in schools. During 2018-19, we worked with 200 young people, supporting 125 individuals across Darlington through the Listening Post. Our residentials, Breathe Youth Retreat and the Quest Weekend, were particular highlights of the year. Doncaster Worth Unlimited for Doncaster focuses on developing the skills, passions and motivations of local people to mentor young people, in particular those at risk of not flourishing in society. To do this we recruit and train mentors and deploy them in partner schools. Through our mentoring programme young people, ranging in age from 5-18, experience transformation in behaviour, self-confidence and self-esteem, which results in keener engagement, more aspirational goals and higher levels of achievement. In 2018-19, we significantly expanded our work from supporting 9 schools at the beginning of the year to supporting 19 by the end of the year. We provided one-to-one mentoring for 300 young people, as well as training 35 young people to become peer mentors. East Birmingham and North Solihull During 2018-19, we have worked with around 500 young people. We have continued to work in close partnership with Open Door Community Foundation to run ‘Together We Can!’ (TWC), a 3-year project within the Firs and Bromford neighbourhood, which brings together youth work and adult-focused community-building work to maximise the opportunities for intergenerational (as well as cross-cultural) interaction and relationship-building. Through TWC, we have provided one-to-one support for 35 young people and opportunities for local children and young people to participate in intergenerational and youth social action projects. We have continued to run a number of open access youth sessions and our social enterprises Gear Up (cycle business) and Listen Threads (clothing brand). Highlights of the year have included: becoming more intentional with our asset-based approach; strengthening a sense of togetherness and team among the staff and volunteers; participating in the Birmingham Knife Angel Walk, and a youth-led Youth Iftar. Ellesmere Port Our Ellesmere Port branch is passionate about literacy and community and champions the programme ‘That Reading Thing’. We work with schools, colleges, churches, youth organisations and out in the community, to help people discover they can read. We both work directly with individuals and train volunteers or staff to deliver the programme themselves. This year, we delivered That Reading Thing directly with 6 young people and 2 adults. We also trained 3 volunteers in That Reading Thing. Huddersfield Worth Unlimited Huddersfield operates from Longley and Lowerhouses Community Church, providing youth clubs and other food and learning related programmes for the children and adults of Longley and Lowerhouses Area. In 2018-19, we worked with 152 children and young people and 82 adults. During term-time, we ran a programme of craft and games clubs, cooking clubs for adults and children, a lunch club for older people and a toddler group. We provided meals throughout the school holidays for children and their families, targeted at (but not restricted to) children who would have received free school dinners during term-time. Highlights of the year included: receiving corporate sponsorship; recruiting new individual donors; the growth and development of our local steering group and being Match Sponsors for Huddersfield Town Football Club's opening match in the 2018/19 season.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

For the Year to 31 August 2019

Lincolnshire (The Oasis) The Oasis is a social and therapeutic garden, a peaceful and restorative environment in which young people can engage in self-discovery, improve their physical and mental health and develop their practical, communication and thinking skills, emotional intelligence and character. The site at Cherry Willingham is flourishing and was utilised by over 100 children and young people in 2018-19. We ran the ‘Flourishing from the Margins’ programme with 2 groups of young people and have begun exploring rolling this out to other schools. We also launched a Young Volunteers Scheme, at the suggestion and request of some of the young people. Loughton (Spark) In 2018-19, Spark changed focus, moving from delivering alternative education to providing a range of counselling and mentoring services for children and young people, both in primary and secondary schools and in the community. During the year, we delivered more than 1,200 counselling appointments and more than 700 mentoring sessions as well as a number of commissioned workshops in schools covering various aspects of emotional wellbeing. We recruited 25+ volunteer counsellors and mentors, including much-needed male mentors. Waltham Forest Worth Unlimited in Waltham Forest works with young people and families from communities of social deprivation. We work at building supportive lasting relationships where young people and participants feel valued. We provide and help young people engage in positive activities, where they can develop skills and create community. In 2018-19, we worked with a total of 395 young people through our open access youth work sessions and projects focused on art, bikes and social action. We continued to run weekly sessions with our Mobile Youth Venue (youth bus) in five local housing estates (Beaumont, Oliver Close, Priory Court, Boundary Road and Cathall), enabling young people to access information and support from trained youth workers, whilst engaging in positive activities such as cooking, games and quizzes. We supported 4 young people through one-to-one mentoring. In January 2019, we faced some painful challenges when 14-year-old Jaden Moodie was murdered at the same time and in the same street as one of our youth bus sessions. Both the young people we work with and the Waltham Forest team were deeply affected by his death. However, the year also had a number of highlights, including positive local and national press coverage; an increase in the numbers of volunteers supporting our sessions; recruitment of new donors and young people completing their GCSEs and going onto Sixth Form colleges or finding employment. Urban Change Makers Urban Change Makers (UCM) is a 10-month leadership development programme that focuses on emerging, working-class leaders from urban priority areas. UCM is delivered in partnership with Newbigin School for Urban Leadership and run in conjunction with local hubs, who nominate participants and support their development locally. In 2018-19, we ran the programme with 13 young adults. SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE As a provider of youth work services, we are keen to work with young people to reduce the abuse that they sometimes suffer, ensure that they are safe while engaging in our activities and are cared for when dealing with the consequences of abuse. The Board continues to give priority in ensuring that our policies are up to date, our staff training is appropriately implemented and the correct action is taken when allegations are made. FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The challenge of running a charitable organisation in these economic times continues to be a significant area of attention. Over recent years, our income from statutory funding sources has reduced from somewhere in excess of £150k to now less than £20k. We are grateful to have made it this far and continue to work hard at diversifying income streams which increase our ability to be sustainable in the coming years. The trustees wish to place on record their appreciation of hard work, passion and commitment that the staff and volunteers of the organisation generously give. We also recognise those individuals and organisations who have sacrificially supported us over the past year as well as those who have participated in various personal physical challenges to raise funds. Our restricted income for the year was £525,570 and we ended the year with £102,665 yet to be spent on specific projects. In addition, we received unrestricted income of £193,075. In order to be clearer about funds that are actual free reserves, the trustees have introduced a Designated Reserve fund. The current position of this fund is £72,500, which is an improvement of our previous financial year but still lower than desired. In the current climate, it is going to be difficult to increase the current position quickly, but the board remain committed to doing so. It should be noted that a large number of our workforce are on fixed-term employment contracts which are linked to the dates of the grant funding which funds their work, thus reducing our

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102). Income Voluntary income and donations are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the income and it is probable that the income will be received. Grants are accounted for as receivable on a pro-rata basis. Any grants received before the year end in respect of a period that ends beyond the year end are deferred accordingly. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in the fundraising costs. VAT Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure Resources expended are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party. Charitable activities The sole charitable activity is the operation of a Christian youth work agency. Charitable expenditure comprises all direct expenditure in respect of support of workers, training and other direct expenses relating to specific projects. Staff costs are charged to restricted funds by reference to an estimated percentage of their work done throughout the year. Governance costs These represent the costs of complying with statutory requirements. Taxation The company is a registered charity and is therefore exempt from taxation under Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010. Investment in trading subsidiary company The investment in a wholly owned trading subsidiary company has been reflected at the historical cost of acquiring the subsidiary and is considered to be fairly stated in light of the fairly modest net asset value of the subsidiary at the balance sheet date. Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due. Creditors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Fund Accounting The charity maintains two types of funds as follows:- Restricted funds Restricted funds represent grants, donations and other income received which the donor allocates for specific purposes. Unrestricted funds Unrestricted funds represent funds that are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance working capital investment. Designated funds are those funds which are unrestricted in nature but which have been designated by the trustees to be used in a particular manner.

Designated Funds As stated in the Financial Review and Plans for the Future, the Trustees were mindful of the need to focus on the level of actual free unrestricted reserves. The Reserves Policy as noted on Page 7 states that the charity aims to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level sufficient to cover three months of staff salary costs. The Trustees have set aside £72,500 within the Designated Reserve Fund for this purpose as at the year end. The Designated reserves remain a form of Unrestricted Reserve and the Trustees have the discretionary powers to reverse this policy in the future if they so wish.

The Unrestricted Reserves Balance at the balance sheet date is as follows:
