## **1. Chair’s Introduction**
Warm welcome to Hyson Green Youth Club’s (HGYC) Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 20242025. Please see below a summary of highlights during the year.
## FRESH Youth programme
FRESH stands for Food, Relationships, Education, Sport and Health – our new youth programme aims to incorporate these key aspects in a welcoming, safe and supportive environment
We successfully developed and delivered 25hrs per week, 5 evening per week pf sports, social club, cooking, sports, dance and personal development targeting 13–17-year-olds. We also supported 18-25year olds. The programme was launched in June 2024.
## Outputs
From September 2024 to February 2025, we delivered 503 hours of youth activities, supported 186 new attendees and recorded 1112 attendees across all session. 5 young adults have worked as volunteers in the youth sessions
## Asset of Community Value
Our application to Nottingham City Council to be registered as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) is in draft form and we intend to submit the application by June 2025
## – Space hive Crowdfunding
In May 2024 we successfully launched a crowdfunding project to raise funds to repair our toilets and replace the old squash court roof. We only had 5 months to achieve the target and draw down matched funding. Unfortunately, we were unable to achieve the target figure within the deadline
In October 2024, we ran a successful fundraising food stall for 10 days during Goose fair. We sold Caribbean food and drinks. We were supported by a number of volunteers
– Staffing due to financial constraints throughout the year we employed only care taking staff
## Playschemes
We also successfully delivered 4 school holiday playschemes – Easter, Summer, October and Christmas school holidays. On average activities were attended daily by 40 children aged 5-11yrs. Funded was from Castle Cavendish HAF.
## Peoples’ Assembly
On 6[th] March 2025, the centre hosted a People’s Assembly which brought together a diverse range of local people to discuss issues impacting upon communities living in Hyson Green. Over 150 people attended are.
Marcus Garvey Centre campaign and Save Our services campaign – we have supported both campaigns
## Energy prices
3
We have seen a significant reduction in energy prices linked to a fall in national prices. We have taken advantage of this by entering contracts with the lowest tariffs . Prices remain higher than pre-Covid tariffs.
Funding – unfortunately we were unable to attract significant core costs funding in this year. Which has contributed to a significant reduction in our capital funds reserves
Lease renewal - There has been no further progress on the lease. This is a priority for the coming year
Serious incident – Unfortunately, we have had some concerns about the conduct of one of our trustees and will report this to the Charity Commission. We have brought this to the attention of the trustee and are addressing the issues raised
Rental payments – we will be reviewing our payment process to improve occupiers paying invoices on time

The programmes carried out by the charity can be broadly categorised as follows:

Youth and Community Work
Work is carried out by the charity through joint programmes funded by various funding agencies. We believe that this helps utilise local knowledge effectively and assists in our educational work. In all cases, the work is monitored directly by our own Management Committee to ensure that the programme is delivered in accordance with our own standards and to maximise the value to the beneficiary groups. During the year, numerous programmes were delivered in partnership with local organisations.
The charity is located within the inner city of Nottingham. We work closely with community groups to ensure a co-ordinated effort in the areas in which we operate and to influence longer-term strategies to relieve poverty in development areas of the inner cities. In addition, the charity raises funds through a network of charitable events, e.g. the training centre, special fundraising events, and the social and community activities.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the charities constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

## REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
## HYSON GREEN YOUTH CLUB
I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025 set out on pages 5 to 15.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to :
- examine the Accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the Accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the Accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the Accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of Accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
## Accounting Convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these Accounts.

The Trustees have prepared the Accounts on the going concern basis. See note 9 in relation to going concern.
## Income Recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. Where income is restricted to a specific purpose it is recognised in the accounting period in which the expenditure for the specified project is incurred.
## Expenditure Recognition
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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure heading.
## Irrecoverable VAT
The club is exempt from VAT registration, therefore all VAT is irrecoverable VAT and is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## Charitable Activites
Costs of charitable activities consist of the direct costs of activities, equipment and labour cost in the club providing services to the users of the club.
## Costs of Generating Funds
The costs of generating funds consist of the direct premises costs to be able to service the users of the club.
## Allocation of Support and Governance Costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs (titled management and adminstration) and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
## Tangible Fixed Assets
All assets costing in excess of £1,000 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
- Buildings on Leasehold Land not provided Other Fixed Assets - 100% on cost in year of purchase

Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

The costs incurred in the 31st March 2024 year resulted in a loss, which were transferred from the general fund in the 31st March 2024 year. Therefore the residual funds for the 31st March 2025 year have been transferred to the general fund to offset the loss previously transferred to it.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
## 9. GOING CONCERN
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025, the Committee are required to consider whether the club can continue in operational existence for the forseeable future.
The Committee has concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the Going Concern basis, having undertaken a rigorous assessment of the financial forecasts, with specific consideration to the income and expenditure position of the club in the context of the current economic climate in the UK, particularly but not limited to energy costs.
At 31st March 2025 the club's unrestricted funds were in surplus by £47,236 (2024 £43,555). The club has made a profit on its unrestricted funds for the financial year ending 31st March 2025 of £3,681 (2024: Loss of £8,890). The Trustees are satisfied that the plans in place by the club would continue to minimise future unrestricted fund losses, and will continue to keep the unrestricted fund balance in surplus for the forseeable future.
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the club will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due.

HYSON GREEN YOUTH CLUB
## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31st March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies set out on page 9 and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 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 published 16 July 2014.
## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Hyson Green Youth Club is constituted under a document adopted 20th June 1991 and is a registered charity number 1007675. The charity is controlled by this governing document, a deed of trust.
## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The aim of the club is to help and educate young people through their leisure time activities to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved. The programmes carried out by the charity can be broadly categorised as follows:
Training and Development Sports and Development
Youth and Community Work
Work is carried out by the charity through joint programmes funded by various funding agencies. We believe that this helps utilise local knowledge effectively and assists in our educational work. In all cases, the work is monitored directly by our own Management Committee to ensure that the programme is delivered in accordance with our own standards and to maximise the value to the beneficiary groups. During the year, numerous programmes were delivered in partnership with local organisations.
The charity is located within the inner city of Nottingham. We work closely with community groups to ensure a co-ordinated effort in the areas in which we operate and to influence longer-term strategies to relieve poverty in development areas of the inner cities. In addition, the charity raises funds through a network of charitable events, e.g. the training centre, special fundraising events, and the social and community activities.
## FINANCIAL RESULTS
Information regarding the financial results of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025 is contained on pages 5 to 15.
## INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit.
## RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis through monthly Management Committee meetings. Systems have been implemented to mitigate these risks and these systems are reviewed annually.
## VOLUNTARY HELP AND GIFTS IN KIND
The Trustees are very grateful to the many volunteers who helped by staffing our catering facilities, training, youth and community events and sporting activities during the year.
## ORGANISATION
The Trustees in office during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1. The Trustees are appointed by the Management Committee annually.
The charity is controlled by a Management Committee, elected annually by the club members.
All property and assets of the charity is vested in the Trustees.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the charities constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

HYSON GREEN YOUTH CLUB
## REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
## HYSON GREEN YOUTH CLUB
I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025 set out on pages 5 to 15.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to :
- examine the Accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the Accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the Accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the Accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of Accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I 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.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their Accounts in accordance the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The club constitues a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Trustees have prepared the Accounts on the going concern basis. See note 9 in relation to going concern.
## Income Recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. Where income is restricted to a specific purpose it is recognised in the accounting period in which the expenditure for the specified project is incurred.
## Expenditure Recognition
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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure heading.
## Irrecoverable VAT
The club is exempt from VAT registration, therefore all VAT is irrecoverable VAT and is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## Charitable Activites
Costs of charitable activities consist of the direct costs of activities, equipment and labour cost in the club providing services to the users of the club.
## Costs of Generating Funds
The costs of generating funds consist of the direct premises costs to be able to service the users of the club.
## Allocation of Support and Governance Costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs (titled management and adminstration) and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
## Tangible Fixed Assets
All assets costing in excess of £1,000 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
- Buildings on Leasehold Land not provided Other Fixed Assets - 100% on cost in year of purchase

- #1 During the year 31st March 2025 the charity received grant funding for a 31st March 2024 year playscheme, which had not been accounted for in the 31st March 2024 accounts. The costs incurred in the 31st March 2024 year resulted in a loss, which were transferred from the general fund in the 31st March 2024 year. Therefore the residual funds for the 31st March 2025 year have been transferred to the general fund to offset the loss previously transferred to it.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
## 9. GOING CONCERN
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025, the Committee are required to consider whether the club can continue in operational existence for the forseeable future.
The Committee has concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the Going Concern basis, having undertaken a rigorous assessment of the financial forecasts, with specific consideration to the income and expenditure position of the club in the context of the current economic climate in the UK, particularly but not limited to energy costs.
At 31st March 2025 the club's unrestricted funds were in surplus by £47,236 (2024 £43,555). The club has made a profit on its unrestricted funds for the financial year ending 31st March 2025 of £3,681 (2024: Loss of £8,890). The Trustees are satisfied that the plans in place by the club would continue to minimise future unrestricted fund losses, and will continue to keep the unrestricted fund balance in surplus for the forseeable future.
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the club will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due.
