The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

ProgressAbility.org (also known as A4S & Positive Steps) was launched in September 2011. Its main activity is the A4S and Positive steps projects, which delivers outdoor skills development activities, life skills and mentoring to fulfil the charitable objects of ProgressAbility.org:

To provide training, mentoring, and counselling for individuals of all ages and backgrounds-within the UK and internationally-supporting their growth into mature, socially responsible individuals grounded in strong moral values.

To enhance access to sports and leisure facilities for those in need due to social or economic disadvantage, thereby promoting health and wellbeing within a framework of moral principles.

Our mission is to transform the lives of young people who have faced academic, social, or economic challenges. Through tailored learning experiences, we aim to build their wellbeing, confidence, and sense of purpose, enabling them to pursue fulfilling lives.

The project achieves its goals by offering experiential learning activities that strengthen self-esteem, confidence, skills, and qualifications-essential stepping stones for education, transition, and employment.

In the mainstream secondary system, around 10-15% of students consistently underperform, often becoming disengaged or excluded. ProgressAbility.org seeks to re-engage these young people through personalised development programmes that reignite a passion for learning and open pathways to training, college, or work.

Our ethos centres on experiential, outdoor learning for young people aged 8-18, particularly those struggling in traditional classrooms. Outdoor activities provide a positive break from peer pressures and offer opportunities to thrive.

Significant activities

Term-time programme

Students are referred by schools, alternative education centres, and social services. Each six-hour session includes transportation, is delivered on a 1:1 or 1:2 coaching basis and is tailored to individual needs. Coaches complete daily progress reports, and Personal Development Reviews (PDRs) track student progress formally for referrers and stakeholders.

Holiday programme

Skills workshops, taster sessions, small group gatherings, and family events. Activities include angling, estate and aquarium maintenance, cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, carpentry, financial literacy, healthy living, and employability skills.

Accredited qualifications

As a Gateway Qualifications Centre, we provide a wide range of accredited courses, including employability, peer mentoring, art and design, carpentry, and cooking, alongside specialist courses in angling and aquarium systems. These qualifications reinforce our commitment to helping students progress into further education, apprenticeships, or employment.

Public benefit

The trustees have regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section 4 of the Charities Act.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year, the number of individual sessions stayed at a consistent level and was only constrained by the number of coaches we had available. We delivered 1,767 sessions, supporting 75 young people. This reflects both sustainability and the strong demand for our services.

We increasingly support students with complex needs, resulting in around 90% of participants receiving 1:1 support. While this has reduced overall capacity, it ensures we meet the needs of those requiring intensive intervention.

Several students achieved formal qualifications, including:

Gateway Level 1 Award in Skills for Construction (6 credits)

Gateway Level 1 Improving Own Learning and Performance (3 credits)

Gateway Level 1 Award in Progression (3+ credits)

In addition, all students gained valuable personal, social, and practical life skills.

We have welcomed new referrers and continue to broaden our activity range to ensure more disadvantaged young people can engage in meaningful learning. These achievements are a testament to the dedication of our staff, management team, and trustees, as well as the generosity of our funders.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

We record our appreciation and gratitude to the following organisations that provide funding to support the work of ProgressAbility.Org during the last financial year:

Blunham Angling Club

The Harpur Trust

The Grace Trust

Garfield Weston

Frank Litchfield Charitable Trust

W.O Street Trust

Wixham Tree Trust

St Johns Hospital Trust

Goodmans Foundation

The Harmead Trust

The Rowen Trust

Reserves policy

The trustees maintain reserves at a level sufficient to cover potential losses or reductions in long-term income. The current reserves target is £60000, covering staff salaries and short-term overheads. In addition, we hold a £20,000 overdraft facility with NatWest Bank for temporary cash flow needs.

Total funds at the end of the year amounted to £119,647 (2024: £67,200 restated) of which £111,816 (2024: £64,890) is unrestricted and £7,831 (2024 £2,310) is restricted. Of the £111,816 (2024: £64,890 ) unrestricted funds £13,278 (2024: £27,232) would only be realisable on the disposal of tangible fixed assets at their current net book value.

Going concern

Uncertainties remain regarding the availability of grant funding and referral income. Referrals are often confirmed late in the academic year, creating short-term uncertainty.

Mitigation includes:

A dedicated fundraiser targeting new grants.

Strong, adaptable relationships with referrers.

Ongoing marketing to attract new partners.

Expanded geographical reach and new

Given the high number of referrals already received for September 2025, the trustees are confident the charity remains a going concern.

FUTURE PLANS

Our vision is to maintain a sustainable, adaptable project recognised as a leader in transforming young lives.

Priorities include:

Consolidating and enhancing the quality of our current programmes.

Expanding student numbers through existing and new referrers.

Recruiting additional coaching staff.

Developing new courses to meet emerging needs.

Enhancing our newly leased lake, creating a diverse outdoor learning environment in partnership with staff, students, and the community.

All new initiatives will be carefully evaluated to ensure they complement existing activities and do not divert resources from our core charitable objectives.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment, appointment and induction of new trustees

The charity requires a minimum of three trustees, who retire by rotation every three years (subject to quorum).

Trustees may be re-elected or newly appointed by majority vote at trustee meetings.

Recruitment is carried out through community voluntary services, word of mouth, and trustee recommendations.

New trustees receive an induction pack, briefing on roles and responsibilities, and must confirm their eligibility annually at the AGM.

Organisational structure

The charity's operations are controlled from, and its records and accounts maintained in, its office in Barkers Lane, Bedford.

The trustees hold monthly working meetings as well as the formal quarterly meetings to consider all aspects of the charity's activities and to monitor progress against the charity's plans. Trustees also ensure that required policies and procedures are in place. The operational and financial risks and uncertainties are regularly reviewed and updated at these meetings together with strategies for managing them. Pay awards for all staff, including the management team, are reviewed on an annual basis.

The trustees delegate day to day running of the charity to a management team, comprising of a full time Operations Manager and a Part time HR and Safeguarding Manager. The charity outsources maintenance of its IT infrastructure to JustComputers in Kempston.

The Operations Manager reports weekly to the trustees keeping them up to date with current activities and issues occurring.

Monthly management meetings are held to co-ordinate the day to day activities of the charity. These are attended by the Chair of Trustees and the Officers. Activities are delivered by qualified coaches under the supervision of the Project Manager and the Coaches Team Leader. Annual workshops are held with advisers and staff to consider the future direction, priorities and actions to develop the work of the charity. Three training days are held per year, attended by all staff, with trustees and advisers invited to attend.

The trustees have established an Education Committee, including the main referrers that we work with, to advise the trustees and staff on the educational needs of the young people we work with and future developments. This meets regularly every term and is providing valuable input to trustees decisions on the future direction and priorities of the charity.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risk to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Risk assessments are in place for all activities delivered by the charity.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Progressability.Org ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1.	accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2.	the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.	the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4.

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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.

Whilst the nature of operations gives rise to material uncertainties regarding funding from one academic year to the next and continued grant funding the trustees believe they have adopted strategies to mitigate these uncertainties. The financial statements are therefore prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

General information

The charity is a private limited company (incorporated in England and Wales) limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The charity's operations are controlled from, and its records and accounts maintained in, its registered office in 129A Barkers Lane, Bedford.

The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are described in the Report of the Trustees.

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.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in

writing.

Income from grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance

conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Where grants are payable in more than one year income is only recognised in the year to which it relates. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Grants received from both central and local government are recognised at fair value on an accrual model once entitlement has been established.

Income from sessional fees is recognised when the responsibility to provide those sessions has been fulfilled.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property

-

25% on cost

Plant and machinery

-

25% on cost

Motor vehicles

-

25% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Assets whose purchase costs exceeds £250 are capitalised which includes those bought for specific projects. Where assets are acquired with grant funding they are depreciated on a straight line basis over the same period as the grant monies cover.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company makes contributions to employees' defined contribution pension plans. These are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Donated goods and services

Donated goods services are recognised in income at their fair value only when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within 1 year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Judgements

No judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies.

11.	PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

An error was made when preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021 which meant that rent was overstated by £5,912 and prepayments were understated by this same amount. The impact of this error meant that unrestricted reserves and prepayments were understated by £5,912 for the financial years ending 31 August 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The prepayment should have crystalised in the year ending 31 August 2024 but the failure to make this adjustment resulted in the rent charged for the period being understated by this amount. A further error was made in 2024 meaning that rent was understated by a further £5,942 and prepayments were overstated by this same amount.
