Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The charity aims to grant up to approximately £13,000 per year in grant bursaries, usually in amounts of up to £1,000 per bursary. This has been increasingly difficult as many member YMCAs consider the administration needed for a grant of up to £1,000 unnecessarily burdensome. As a consequence of obtaining this feedback through consultation with the member YMCAs the trustees have created a significant project to support all YMCAs within the area of benefit, and to create a template for the wider YMCA Movement in England & Wales to adopt. This will recruit and train young people to become active participants as trustees on the Boards of their YMCAs. There are currently 3% out of 151 trustees who are under 30 years old in the sample area and the trustees expect that their project will make a significant impact on this demographic. In the year ended 31/3/2023 the trustees have defined the project and begun the process of working with One YMCA to act as the delivery partner.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
YMCA CENTRAL AND ANGLIA TRUST FUND
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 3 to 5.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as 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 matter has come to my attention;
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charites Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
