Achievements and performance

Counselling; during this year we worked with 712 young people in our counselling service, who accessed a total of 3,233 sessions. Presenting issues include anxiety, family and relational issues, exam stress and the ongoing impact of COVID.

NGY (managing the NGY building); we welcomed 1,084 young people into NGY during this year, some accessing the range of Base 51 sessions, others meeting with the Youth Justice Service or joining the YMCA digital sessions. We also welcomed young people involved with the Princes Trust, hosting their 'Aspire and Achieve' programme and young people who were involved with the National Citizenship Service over the summer.

Open Access Youth Work; during this year we worked with 380 young people across our universal youth sessions, activities included games nights, arts and crafts, cooking workshops, topical discussions and film nights. Many young people come to Base 51 sessions as it is a safe place to meet with friends and just 'hang out', others need 1-2-1 services and support - this year we had 296 attendances for support.

Our gym sessions have continued to be popular with 185 young people attending to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Group Work - Outburst (LGBTQ+), Junior Outburst, Young Leaders, Art in Mind. Outburst continues to be one of our flagship services with 130 young people who identify as LGBTQI+ regulalry joining sessions, they enjoy a safe social space, meeting new friends, activities and welcome in guest speakers to talk to them about issues that LGBTQI+ young people face. This group were also very involved in our media campaign in March to raise awareness of our funding challenges for the year ahead, able to speak confidently and passionately about the impact Base 51 has had on their lives.

Trustees' Report

You Can, learning programme for young people at risk of involvement in violent crime. During the year we worked with 11 young people, who took up further vocational training or moved into paid work. This programme came to an end in February 2022.

F Word - young Womens Group continued to run alongside the universal sessions, young women took part in arts, gym sessions and cooking workshops.

Evolution - trauma focussed therapy for young people who have experienced serious violence. This year working with 67 young people who had experienced trauma, a total of 347 one to one counselling sessions were held and 53 support sessions with youth workers were also carried out to provide a holistic wrap around service.

Social prescribing; this year we worked with the NNE Primary Care Group and delivered a young people's social prescribing project. This project includes a full time Social Prescribing Link Worker, and a 0.5 FTE Counsellor. During the contracted period ( from August 2021) we delivered 70 sessions to young people who had been referred by their GP for mental health support.

Base 51 Training Academy; during this year we launched our Training Academy, having achieved 'centre recognition' in June 2022 with the Skills and Eduction Group. This year we ran accredited Youth Work training courses with youth workers form the community and voluntary sector, City Council youth team and workers identified by Notts Police.

During this year we supported a total of 19 volunteer roles, 10 of which were working within our youth team and they contributed 475 hours between them. The other 9 volunteers were within our counselling team, these volunteers, who are either qualified counsellors, or placement counsellors- working towards accreditation, contributed 2,340 hours over the year of face to face counselling to young people. Additionally 2 of the Volunteer Counsellors secured paid roles with Base 51 within the year.

Financial review

Base 51 will show a surplus of £37,261 for the year ending 31st March 2022, movement in funds at the end of the year reflects the end of the 'NGY' funded project that was supported by Nottingham City Council. A balancing transfer between the NGY Sinking fund and the youth project has been applied.

Policy on reserves

Trustees continue to agree reserves at the annual planning meeting each year, a target of six months continues to be our aim.

Having these reserves enables us to continue with critical services for vulnerable young people if we experience changes in funding. Longer tem funding challenges are considered in our risk register, and built into our income generation strategy.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Financial risks

In the months that followed the financial year end we are aware of a significant increase in the cost of utilities, our current fixed contract will end in July 2023. We are working with a number of consultants who are advising us on the situation that we (and other charities) will face. We are currently considering how we can manage this increased cost and talking to our facility partners.

Further financial risks continue to be presented by a reducing grants landscape in Nottingham City, investing in our income generation team is key to ensuring we can secure new funding.

Our Training Academy is newly launched, and we are actively looking for ways to bring in new funds through this area.

Trustees' Report

Plans for future periods

Aims and key objectives for future periods

During the final few months of this financial year we were advised by Nottingham City Council that our core funding would be cut in its entirety with effect from April 2022. This significant change in our funding arrangements brought forward our sustainability plans from 3 years to 1 year, and significant work was undertaken by Trustees and the Senior Leadership team to identify ways to fast track income generation and progress plans to mobilise the Training Academy.

Future plans for Base 51 include increasing engagment levels of disadvantaged young people, we will do this by maximising the spaces we have available in our facilities at NGY, and developing new partnerships and collaborations with youth and education providers.

We will continue to develop our Training Academy, which we forecast will generate our own income stream, moving us towards sustainability. The forthcoming year has a focus on income generation, therefore we are working towards mobilising the academy and expanding the course range so that we can deliver both youth work and counselling qualifications. These professions sit as the very foundation of our work with young people, we know that a gap has been identified by a strategic reference group led by Notts Police, and this has been the driving ambition behind development of the academy.

The next financial year will also see some investment into a role to drive our fundraising and events strategy, helping to raise our profile and funds from public and corporate avenues.

Since we have had very little time to fulfil our ambition of sustainability for the next year, we expect to invest some of our reserves to bring in the right expertise, which will support us into the future.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Base 51 for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Base 51

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Base 51 ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022.

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 the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, 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 that in any material respect:

  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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

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

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Base 51 meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Deferred income

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Page 12

Base 51

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Furniture & equipment 15.0% straight line
Computer equipment 33.3% straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Page 13

Base 51

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

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

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

The transfer from the NGY fund to the NGY Sinking fund reflects the obligation to set aside £40,000 less any Sinking fund expenditure (£22,877) incurred in the year to this fund and also less the deficit (£15,952) on the NGY fund at yearend - this reflects the end of the 'NGY' funded project that was supported by Nottingham City Council.

The transfer from the Evolution, Outburst, Social Prescribing and Youth fund to the General fund reflects the release of any restrictions on the use of these funds.

The transfer from the General fund to the Children in Need - Thrive and You Can fund is to cover the deficit on these activities.

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:

NGY - City Council. This fund has been established to run the NGY building and services therein for young people.

NGY Sinking Fund - City Council. These are funds set aside to cover future building costs.

Children in Need - Thrive - this funding is for a discreet project working with young people living in temporary accommodation with their family.

You Can is a programme to change attitudes and behaviours of young people, helping them move forwards positively into work, training or education.

Covid response fund - provides funding to purchase vital equipment so that our counselling team could continue to deliver safe counselling services remotely to our most vulnerable young people. It also provided funding to pay for staff training so that they were able to deliver digital services during the pandemic.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Evolution is supported by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Unit, and works with young people who have been affected by serious violence. It offers a access to trauma informed therapy and one to one support.

Outburst is a programme providing support for a group of young LGBTQ+ people.

Social Prescribing - this project includes a full time Social Prescribing Link Worker, and a 0.5 FTE Counsellor. During the contracted period ( from August 2021) we delivered 70 sessions to young people who had been referred by their GP for mental health support.

Youth Project - activities included games nights, arts and crafts, cooking workshops, topical discussions and film nights. Many young people come to Base 51 sessions as it is a safe place to meet with friends and just 'hang out', others need 1-2-1 services and support - this year we had 296 attendances for support.

These are the figures for the previous accounting period and are included for comparative purposes
