The European Youth Parliament United Kingdom (EYPUK) is a non-partisan and independent educational charity (no. 102943). We engage young people with UK and European political issues, providing them with a platform to express their opinions whilst building new skills, confidence, and friendships. 

Each year, we run Regional debating competitions and two national events with participants from across the UK. We also run a series of outreach events, engaging young people with the issues in their local communities, and run training and social events for our members. EYPUK also links up with the wider EYP community for international events, from Dublin to Dubrovnik! 

The European Youth Parliament United Kingdom (EYPUK) is the UK's National Committee of its umbrella organisation, the European Youth Parliament (EYP). Thousands of young people are actively involved as volunteers all over Europe, making the EYP a genuinely youth-driven programme – run by young people, for young people. The entire network, made up of more than 30,000 young people, organises around 500 events every year.

## **Chair’s Welcome** 

Welcome to EYPUK’s Annual Report and AGM for 2024. 

The 2023-24 year has been a strong one for EYPUK. 

November 2023 saw EYPUK turn 30, and the charity held a dinner celebration for its members to commemorate the occasion. The event was well attended by both current members and some alumni. Thank you to everyone who attended to celebrate with us! While celebrating EYPUK’s anniversary, conversations remain ongoing in regard to EYPUK’s growth and longterm strategy, and there have been several new developments this year which we are proud to share. 

EYPUK has continued to bolster its financial position and build greater financial resilience, with a further £5000 being added to EYPUK’s reserves. For the first time, the Regionals Team was able to secure all of the venues for the Regionals programme at no cost, meaning that all participation fees received from Regionals have been directed at other areas of EYPUK activity. Moreover, 96% of payments were received from Regionals this year: a record number. 

This year, EYPUK has secured a good number of in-kind sponsorships for its sessions, and has been able to offer more financial support to its members, for example, for sustainable travel, first-time officials, and for schools at nationals who may otherwise be unable to participate. The latter scheme EYPUK wishes to dedicate to Jeffrey Dunn, who sadly passed away in September 2023. Jeff was a long-standing Trustee of EYPUK and had worked tirelessly to provide young people with opportunities to share their voices and advocate for change. He was a passionate advocate for young people and organisations like EYPUK which provide opportunities for young people to build confidence and achieve their potential, regardless of background. In dedicating the ‘Jeffrey Dunn Travel Fund’, EYPUK hopes his unwavering dedication to youth empowerment can continue. EYPUK sends its sincere condolences to Jeff’s family and friends. 

The Trustees have continued to develop new governance improvements and policies, such as: 

- Codes of Conduct for the Trustees and Member Association Executive 

- New Trustee Role Descriptions 

- Updated Membership Policy 

- New Privacy Notice 

**EYPUK** | Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW | _Registered educational charity_ 

_no. 1029243_ 



- New cancellation terms for Regionals 

- A new guide for EYPUK members travelling abroad 

The Committee have also agreed a few changes to the structure of the Member Association Executive for this year, to improve efficiency and ensure that emphasis is placed where most needed. This includes a new role for an Events Officer, giving the responsibility for securing spaces for UK delegates abroad to the President, and more. 

The outgoing leadership team wishes to give their thanks to EYPUK’s wonderful volunteers and members who have made this year so successful. EYPUK has been a huge part of our lives over the years, but we say goodbye to EYPUK in the knowledge that we have had a positive impact on the charity, and that it is in the safe hands of its ever-dedicated Committee and membership. We look forward to seeing EYPUK thrive and continue to deliver on its charitable purpose to advance education and life skills for young people.

## **Nationals Report** 

## **Overview** 

## **Nationals Team:** 

Emily Cooper - Nationals Trustee Megan Bell - Events Trustee 

Summer National Session Head Organisers: Daniel Brown and Claudia Cacciola Autumn National Session Head Organiser: Beccie White 

## **Summer National Session** 

12 schools, 1 international delegate from Ireland and 1 from Germany 94 delegates, 23 teachers and 31 officials Booking Contract: £22,622.85 (less than last year) Spending: £413.93 Outgoing Total: £23,036.78 Incoming Total: £25,330 Surplus: £2,293.22 

## **Autumn National Session** 

15 schools and no international delegates 118 delegates, 25 teachers and 30 officials Booking Contract: £28,164.30 Spending: Tbc Outgoing Total: Tbc Incoming Total: £28,850 Profit/loss: Tbc 

**Overall** : 27 schools, 212 delegates, 61 officials and 48 teachers. Finances tbc. 

## **Suggestions from last year** 

Based on student and teacher feedback, the Nationals Team looked into: 

- Considering how Eurovillage works from a food hygiene perspective. Changed it to just snacks and desserts post a hot meal from the venue. This was successful and well received. 

- Adding trigger warnings to debates where appropriate, and potentially having the ESP on the Board of more sensitive debates. This was successful at Summer Nationals. 

- Vetting auditions for Euroconcert as far as possible - costumes, music and dances included. Held ‘auditions’ during Eurovillage. No problems with performances this year. 

- Contactless card machine purchased and used for officials dinner and merch. This led to an increase in numbers purchased and a smoother Officials dinner process.

_no. 1029243_ 



## **Next year** 

- Streamline fundraising efforts between sessions. Allocate fundraising officer to help. Ensure treasurer has a call with both sessions to discuss who does what and how fundraising will be shared. 

- Continue to ensure that every participant signs a Code of Conduct. Lucy Owen as NSP introduced a Google form which has been highly effective.

## **Communications Report** 

## **Review of the year** 

- Jess Donaldson was Communications Trustee for a second year 

- Erin Morris and Katie Richards were Communications Coordinators this year. 

- There will be one Communications Coordinator going forward. 

## **External communications** 

## ● EYPUK Website 

   - Regularly fixed and updated membership policies as needed, and maintained regionals content etc. on the website. 

   - Wix is still used as the website host. 

   - Maintenance and distribution of relevant emails into EYPUK Info as needed to relevant people. 

   - Updated education documents and signposted teachers interested in this direction. 

   - Subscriptions to mailing list still come through website, all enquiries go to info account. 

   - Website maintained engagement with 2024, with website visits mostly matching last year, but steadier (whereas engagement last year was more erratic). 

- Mailing List 

   - I propose that the newsletter should resume as a presidential responsibility alongside Comms’ design, suggesting that the President should chase the Exec and Comms can format/edit (rather than Comms chasing content). 

   - One newsletter this year - we had hoped for more. 

- Instagram 

   - Really, really strong engagement with Instagram with the 2nd half of 2024 seeing a 50% increase in engagement which is great! 

   - Also increased followers up to 2104. 

   - Katie put together a great new colour scheme for general EYPUK posts, as well as creating some great informative EYP content, moving away from just having events and members focused content. 

   - Members Abroad and Testimonials did not have much uptake. 

   - Put together editorial guidelines for editors which can be further grown in further years (finding editors are increasingly asking for this). 

   - Announcement posts remain big drivers in engagement. 

   - Platform continues to be event and members focused - account visibly grouped into different sections based on each session branding, with their respective stories saved. 

   - Slightly differentiated content and tone between Facebook and Instagram - use of stories, more aimed at delegates and officials on Instagram, whereas Facebook will also include content aimed at other audiences. Formalising this distinction will be important in moving forward into the next year and in 

**EYPUK** | Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW | _Registered educational charity_

   - conceptualising our target audiences for each platform and developing their uses. 

- We have also started using LinkedIn considerably more which has seen great engagement! Putting together content that can be reposted has seen really great success. This also was true for EYPUK30, where we reached alumni through LinkedIn. We would really love to further this next year!

## **Member Development Report** 

## **New Members** 

In addition to all the new members from the two annual National Sessions, over the past year, we accepted roughly 155 new members through the membership application route. This is over double the number of new members we received from the previous year through this specific route. 

On top of this, we updated our membership policy introducing several changes. The new membership application process now requires applications to be reviewed by a selection panel within 21 days of submission. Upon success, the individual must now pay a £10 fee and a strict deadline of 30 days has been set to pay and upload proof of doing so. Similar to our new members from the two annual National Sessions, our members from the application pathway must now also complete a Code of Conduct. In addition, individuals can now also appeal the outcome of their application within 30 days of hearing from us. Finally, members who have gained membership through the application pathway must attend a multi-day EYP event for them to become voting members. 

## **Members Training Weekend** 

In November 2023, we held yet another successful Members’ Training Weekend (MTW) in Newcastle. Over two days, the MTW gathered approximately 27 individuals to learn more about the organisation and opportunities EYP has to offer. Our experienced trainers put together over 17 modules for the event and participants also had plenty of opportunities to explore Newcastle and Durham before heading home. 

## **International representation** 

Over the course of the last academic year, approximately 20 delegates from EYPUK attended sessions abroad. Once again, there was difficulty sending delegates to international sessions due to clashes with academic commitments and other reasons. Despite this, we hope that our efforts with the improved onboarding calls and the travel reimbursement scheme will encourage more individuals to take this step.

## **International Affairs Report** 

EYPUK continues to participate in the wider EYP Network’s international governance structures, particularly at the Board of National Committees (BNC). 

## **BNCM 23-02** 

- The Meeting of the Board of National Committees took place from the 17th - 19th of November 2023 in Berlin, and EYPUK was represented by Beccie White and Daniel Brown.

## **BNC Board Elections Vote 24-02** 

EYPUK wishes to congratulate Daniel Brown on his election to the BNC Board for the 2024/25 term. It is great to see EYPUK at the forefront of the network’s international governance. 

## **International Sessions** 

EYPUK was provided with a maximum of 8 delegate spots to the coming International Sessions. The 100th IS was due to take place in Istanbul in May, but instead took place in July in Thessaloniki; EYPUK sent 6 delegates. 

## **Responsibility for International Governance** 

To better communicate and make it clearer who EYPUK’s contact person for international delegations is, the Committee has decided that the President of the Executive will now have the responsibility of securing spots abroad. The Member Development Trustee will oversee the above and maintain oversight over the process and sending of delegates abroad. 

**EYPUK** | Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW | _Registered educational charity no. 1029243_ 



## **Diversity, Inclusion & Safeguarding Report** 

## **Policies** 

- Lucy has reviewed the EYPUK safeguarding policy and ESP/officials training. 

- Updated the incident report form. 

- Updated EYPUK’s code of conducts and the process of sending them out to session participants - streamlined using a new Google Form system and linked spreadsheet. 

## **Safeguarding and Welfare** 

- No safeguarding incidents at any of our events. 

- Minor welfare/other incidents at sessions and outside of them - relevant individuals have 

- handled all issues effectively. 

- Optimal safeguarding training method found! - pre-session safeguarding briefing (recorded for anyone who can’t attend), then questions and interactive activities (quiz, scenarios etc) at the Event Safe Talk. 

## **Health and Safety** 

- No health and safety concerns or incidents at any of our events. 

## **Considerations for next year** 

- Diversity and inclusion policy - unfortunately this has not been progressed as far as hoped this year. It would be a good opportunity to take this forward with members involved. There has also been a discussion about outsourcing to another committee member to lead on the process if capacity is limited next year.

## **Annual Statement of Accounts** 

EYPUK’s annual accounts run from January 20[th  ] 2023  – January 19[th] 2024. Therefore, for the AGM report to be in line with the accounts we will submit this November to the charity commission, this report will primarily focus on the financial position during the financial year (January – January) as opposed to the EYPUK calendar year (September – September). An update will be given at the end of the accounts on the current financial position, to bridge the gap between January – September. 

In the 2023/24 Financial year, EYPUK’s income was £65,308  whilst our expenditure was £63,234. This gave us a marginal profit of £2,075 for the financial year of 2023/24, although is it important to note that approximately £1600 of this relates to a sustainability engagement fund, for  travel reimbursement which has not yet been spent. We look at our income and expenditure during the financial year on an accruals basis. This means the figures cited in this report reflect income or expenditure related to our operations and events between 20/01/23-19/01/24 (i.e. if we have received a payment for a 2024 regional event taking place in February in December, this will not be included in the 23/24 figures. 

The 23/24 financial year was EYPUK’s second ‘post-covid’ financial year, being the second year we have produced a full set of regional and national events since 2019. 

## **Expenditure breakdown 23-24 Financial year**

*Difference between total and breakdown provided due to rounding 

From the above, it is clear that the biggest proportion of both income and expenditure relates to our national events which made a loss of £2,601 in 2023. We aim to keep the loss from national at around the £2,000 mark as nationals are part-subsidised with income received from regional sessions. The increased expenditure of nationals in 2023 was largely due to rising costs from Liverpool Hope and slightly lower than anticipated delegate numbers. 

No financial sponsorship was obtained in the 2023/24 financial year, in part due to the absence of fundraising officers on the executive committee. We were successful in receiving two sustainable engagement grants from the International Office of EYP, to be used towards storage spaces and travel reimbursements for sustainable travel. 

## **Current situation as of September 2024** 

At the date of this report, we currently have £6,460.68 (including an approximate £1400 contingent liability) in our accounts after accounting for the imminent autumn nationals payment. This is supported by £15,329.91 in our reserves, giving us a combined total of £21,790.59 . In January we moved £5,000 from our current account to our reserves in order to separate this from our day-today spending and increase our reserve amount to £15,329.91, including interest payments. £1600 of our cash in bank account relates to funds reserved from the sustainable engagement fund reserved for travel reimbursements for EYPUK volunteers attending events by sustainable transport options. 

## **Updates from January – September 2024 by operational area** 

|Regionals|Regionals this year brought in income of<br>£8100. For the first year ever, we were able to<br>secure all 14 venues free of charge. Our<br>payment rate was 96%, which met our target<br>of 90% payment, but still resulted in £300 of<br>lost revenue.|
|---|---|
|Nationals|Nationals this year had an estimated<br>expenditure of £52,345.78 and income of<br>£54,180,resultingin a surplus of £1835.|

|Member’s development|We continued to  allocate £800 to our<br>Member’s weekend, which took place in<br>November 2023.|
|---|---|
|Merchandise|We have not made any additional purchases<br>of Merchandise in 2024, as we continue to<br>work through our existingstock.|
|Insurance|In 2024 our insurance costs have gone done<br>considerably, as a result of changing our<br>insurance provider to one which covers<br>multi-day events. This has enabled us to<br>avoid taking our individual policy for each<br>nationals and member’s trainingweekend.|
|Fundraising|No further fund have been raised this year,<br>although we have engaged in discussions<br>with the international office about the various<br>ways we can use the fund, updating the<br>terms of the travel fund in order to encourage<br>greater uptake.|
|Widening access|In 2024 we continued to offer a travel support<br>fund for schools from lower socio-economic<br>areas, after a successful pilot in 2023. This<br>fund has been designated as the Jeff Dunn<br>fund, in commemoration of Jeff – a life-long<br>advocate of widening access – who sadly<br>passed awayin 2023.|
|Travel reimbursement for volunteers|Our travel reimbursement for EYPUK<br>volunteers has remained consistent at £30<br>per event. An updated travel reimbursement<br>policy has been published on the website.<br>We have also introduced a new form to<br>centralise reimbursements.|



The annual statement of accounts is awaiting independent examination.

## **Trustee Resignations and Elections** 

The AGM is the time where EYPUK recruits new Trustees and says thanks to its outgoing Trustees. 

This year, the Trustees say farewell to several members. 

- Luke Moynan (Chair) 

Luke joined EYPUK in 2017 and has been a prominent  member of the Committee for the past six years, including time as Regional Coordinator, President, Regional Trustee and Chair of the Board. Luke, with Lucy, was Head Organiser of EYPUK’s first digital session in 2020. His ambition as Chair has been to improve EYPUK’s governance, strengthen the charity’s position and build financial resilience to risk; things he has achieved through the implementation of new policies, the standardisation of meetings and record keeping, and through the bolstering of EYPUK’s membership and financial reserves. Under his leadership, EYPUK has bounced back from Covid stronger than before. EYPUK gives Luke its sincere thanks and wishes him all the best in his future. 

## ● Lucy Owen (Vice Chair and Designated Safeguarding Lead) 

Lucy also joined EYPUK in 2017, and has been a member of the Committee for five of the last six years, in various capacities including Regional Coordinator, Member Development, Vice Chair of the Board and as EYPUK’s Designated Safeguarding Lead. Lucy, alongside Luke, was Head Organiser of EYPUK’s first digital session in 2020. As DSL, Lucy has seen EYPUK go from strength to strength; from its safe culture to the adoption of new codes of conduct, safeguarding reporting and more. Moreover, despite the serious nature of her role, she has always been a person to whom volunteers and members could turn, and someone that could be relied upon to act sympathetically, promptly and professionally. EYPUK wishes Lucy all the best in her career and new home! 

## ● Katie Thacker (Treasurer) 

Katie has been a prominent member of EYPUK since joining in 2018, and has been on the Committee since 2020, serving as Member Development Officer, Nationals Trustee and as Treasurer. Katie has overseen a period of financial growth for EYPUK, and has been at the forefront of the improvement of EYPUK’s financial management. This has included better record keeping, reporting, and streamlining of reimbursement claims. Katie has also seen EYPUK achieve its long-held aim of introducing financial support to members, funding sustainable travel and supporting participation from those who may otherwise be disadvantaged. Katie has already started a fulfilling career in accountancy and auditing, and, as she becomes qualified, EYPUK cannot wait to see where her career will take her. 

- Eleanor Ashton-Williams (EurVoice) 

**EYPUK** | Liverpool Town Hall, High Street, Liverpool L2 3SW | _Registered educational charity no. 1029243_ 



Eleanor joined EYPUK in 2017 and has been at the heart of EYPUK’s EurVoice programme ever since, including spending four years on the Committee. Under her leadership, EurVoice has grown into new areas such as London and Scotland, rebranded, and has become, once again, a core component of EYPUK’s annual programme of events. EYPUK will miss her smile and her enthusiasm, and wishes Eleanor the very best in her move to London and as she becomes a successful consultant. 

- Ahmad Raza (Member Development) 

Ahmad joined EYPUK in 2020 through its then new application pathway for membership. He quickly became a familiar face in the network through participation at many of the digital events of 2020 and 2021. Ahmad was also at the forefront of the development of EYPUK’s digital programme of events, and has spent the last three years on the Committee as Member Development Officer, President and Member Development Trustee. EYPUK is excited to see where Ahmad’s legal and advocacy work takes him. 

Clause 13 (1) (a), which requires one third of the Trustees, or the number closest to one third, to retire at the AGM, is satisfied by the above resignations. 

Luke and Katie may stay involved with things like banking, finance and governance until full authority can be signed over the new leadership. 

Several Trustees will be moving into new portfolios at the AGM: 

- Meera Kaiser has been nominated as Chair of the Board. 

- Jessica Donaldson has been nominated as Vice Chair and Nationals Trustee. 

- Emily Cooper has been nominated as EYPUK’s Designated Safeguarding Lead. 

- Megan Bell has been nominated as Treasurer of EYPUK. 

The Trustees are recommending the following appointments to the Board: 

|||||
|---|---|---|---|
|**Name**|**Role**|**Proposed by**|**Seconded by**|

|Claudia Cacciola|Events|Emily Cooper|Ahmad Raza|
|Molly Boulton|EurVoice|Luke Moynan|Lucy Owen|



There will be a short election at the AGM. 

The Board of Trustees for 2024-25 shall therefore consist of:

**Report to the trustees** European Youth Parliament UK **On accounts for the year** 19/01/2024 **Charity no** 1029243 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1-2 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **19 / 01 / 2024** . **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

- **Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have 

- **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below) 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 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.
