**Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the charity set out in its governing document are: 

To educate and assist young persons through their leisure time activities so to develop their physical and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of a counselling and advice service. 

West Rhyl Young People's Project (WRYPP) helps young people to learn and grow - become better informed, more skilled and self confident; feeling valued and supported. Our work promotes aspirations and creates opportunities and conditions for young people to enjoy improved emotional, physical and social wellbeing. Our ultimate aim is for young people to experience positive transition to adulthood; able to confidently navigate through life, overcome challenges and thrive. 

Based in Rhyl, and working across north Wales, WRYPP works with young people marginalised by social exclusion, inequality and poverty. We broaden horizons, challenge, educate and nurture confidence through drop-in, detached & centre-based youth work; short-term & tailored support to avert crisis; and specialist provision for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+) young people, their families & friends. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the objectives and in deciding what activities the charity undertakes.  The Trustees are satisfied that the achievements and planned activities contribute to the objectives that they have set. In the planning and delivery of the activities for the year, WRYPP's management committee adhered to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

In furtherance of the charity's objectives, activities fell, roughly, within four main strands: 

 **Pixel Youth Engagement** - drop-in and centre-based sessions for information support and socialising, and street-based detached youth work.  Programmes designed to reach and engage young people and adults in informal and structured programmes intended to address barriers and improve life chances. 

 **Sports and wellbeing activities** - including street-based sports, Empire Fighting Chance boxing programme, outward bound activities deriving benefits from the diverse local natural environments. 

 **Viva LGBTQ+** - support and groups for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and questioning young people, their families & friends, including training for forward facing professionals. 

 **Youth Support Coordination (as part of the regional Families First provision)** - intensive, short-term and tailored support for young people and their families, intended to help families address their concerns, by identifying and building upon strengths to help prevent crisis.

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Viva LGBTQ+** 

Between April 2023 and March 2024, Viva LGBTQ+ the specialised youth provision supported young people across Wrexham, Denbighshire, Conwy, and Flintshire through a combination of group work and one-to-one sessions. Weekly youth groups were delivered in Wrexham, Denbighshire, and Conwy throughout the year, with plans to expand to five groups by April 2024. These included additional sessions planned for rural areas of Denbighshire and Conwy, as well as the anticipated resumption of the Flintshire group by Easter 2024. 

One-to-one support was a key aspect of the work, with sessions provided in community settings, high schools and further education colleges across the counties. By March 2024, a total of 163 one-to-one sessions had been delivered - supporting 65 young people - with the majority taking place in Wrexham, followed by Denbighshire, Conwy, and Flintshire. We accepted family and self-referrals, along with referrals from external agencies (such as high schools CAMHS teams, NW Police, social services, Health and a range of voluntary sector organisations). 

Over the year, a further 101 young people regularly engaged with the youth groups, finding them to be invaluable spaces for connection, support, and personal growth. The groups provided safe, welcoming environments where participants could express their identities freely, reduce feelings of isolation, and develop meaningful friendships. Youth-led activities encouraged mutual respect, collaboration, and negotiation skills, fostering a sense of ownership among participants. Additionally, the development of peer mentoring and leadership opportunities began to lay the groundwork for long-term personal and community impact. 

Emerging themes from Viva highlighted both the benefits and challenges experienced by young people. Many reported improved confidence, better social networks, and a sense of belonging, while others identified reduced social isolation and increased comfort in expressing their gender identity. However, some participants expressed a decline in optimism, particularly in relation to political and social discourse surrounding trans rights and healthcare access. These conversations were thoughtfully addressed within the groups, ensuring young people had the necessary peer and professional support. 

The outcomes for young people were overwhelmingly positive. Of the 56 participants who reviewed their progress between April and September 2023, the majority reported improvements in their social networks, access to support, and feelings of belonging. Many also noted increased confidence, stronger friendships, and improved family relationships. Feedback from participants towards the end of the year further underscored Viva's impact, with young people describing it as a source of "calm and safety," a a place to "feel like you belong," and an opportunity to learn valuable life skills. Some credited Viva with helping them manage challenges such as social anxiety and school attendance. 

These activities also extended beyond the regular sessions. In Wrexham, young people began working on the Pride Youth Zone for the upcoming Wrexham Pride, providing hands-on experience in leadership and event planning. This opportunity, alongside a growing focus on peer mentoring and structured participatory roles, reflected Viva's commitment to empowering young people to take active roles in their communities. 

Supported and enabled by funding from Welsh Government (SVYWO Grant), Wrexham County Borough Council and Conwy County Borough Council, Viva LGBTQ+ provided essential support to young people and created opportunities for personal and collective growth. Through its combination of targeted interventions and collaborative activities, Viva LGBTQ+ made a significant difference in the lives of the young people it served, while also laying the foundation for sustained impact in the future. 

## **Youth Support Coordination, Families First** 

**3** 



## **West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

The Youth Support Coordinators continued to provide tailored support to young people and their families, receiving referrals through the Integrated Families First & Flying Start Services Gateway. During the 11-month period up to February 2024, the WRYPP Families First Team supported 76 families, comprising a total of 111 individuals. Many of these families faced complex and multiple challenges, and the team delivered intensive, person-centred, responsive, and adaptive support. Feedback from young people and their families was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the staff's open and non-judgemental approach, their willingness to go above and beyond, and their dedication to helping families engage and remain connected with available support as key factors in the programme's success. 

The Families First contract ended in February 2024. However, the commitment to continue supporting several of the individuals reached during this period remained a priority. Transitional support provision was established to ensure that the progress made by young people during the previous months was not jeopardised by a sudden withdrawal of services. Interim funding was secured to enable the continuation of activity-based and drop-in support. This proved to be a lifeline for several young people and their families during a period when the newly commissioned Families First services had yet to begin. 

## **What's Up Wednesday Group** 

As part of the Families First offer, this weekly youth group provided informal education and a range of engaging activities to support the communication and language development of young people with additional communication needs. Unfortunately, despite being a popular and lively group, the end of the Families First contract brought about its closure in March. Efforts were made to secure succession funding, but these were ultimately unsuccessful. 

**Pixel Engagement - part of the Denbighshire Engagement & Wellbeing Collective** ; _a partnership comprising: West Rhyl Young People's Project, Blossom & Bloom, The Denbigh Workshop and Denbigh Youth Project and funded by the Shared Prosperity Fund, commissioned by Working Denbighshire._ 

West Rhyl Young People's Project is the lead partner in a joint venture called the Denbighshire Engagement & Wellbeing Collective (DEWC). Jointly, the DEWC partners were commissioned from September 2023, to support some of the most marginalised individuals resident in Denbighshire, particularly those furthest from education and training. Its aim was to create wrap-around communities of support that address fundamental needs while introducing a variety of informal and structured activities designed to to enrich lives, build confidence, educate, and inspire participants to achieve personal growth and progression. The component of the partnership delivered by WRYPP was, the Pixel Engagement Project, which reintroduced participants to the experience of learning in a non-threatening, inclusive environment. By providing support to overcome barriers, it helps individuals develop positive attitudes and habits that enable progression into further training, education, or employment. This welcoming and adaptive approach has proven vital in reaching participants who have previously felt excluded or alienated from traditional learning settings. 

Pixel's impact is underpinned by establishing safe, welcoming, and supportive communities delivered from our the comfortable and homely surroundings of our drop-in centre. Whilst there participants access a mix of informal and structured keyworker support, and are guided to identify and supported to overcome barriers and develop personalised goals, creating a foundation for long-term change. The combination of this tailored approach alongside dynamic engagement activities has helped participants immerse themselves in new experiences, develop beneficial routines, and gain a sense of purpose and direction.

## **West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

Pixel Engagement Projects offer a wide range of tailored engagement and enrichment opportunities, where socially excluded young people and adults can thrive and experience success. These activities include: 

- **Wellbeing drop-ins** at the West Rhyl Young People's Centre, featuring life-skills development, basic skills training, guided discussions, and prosocial activities. 

- **Structured support** through one-to-one keyworker sessions, providing personalised planning and guidance 

- **Workshops and enrichment activities** , such as yoga, mindfulness, arts and crafts, which nurture mental and emotional wellbeing. 

- **Digital inclusion opportunities** , equipping participants with essential and transferable technological skills. 

- **Volunteering and peer mentoring** , which foster a sense of responsibility and community connection. 

- **'Reboot Camps'** , residential outdoor challenges that encourage personal growth, team-building, and social bonding. 

By March 2024, the programme had reached its mid-point, emerging as a remarkably vibrant and varied initiative. Its success lies in its ability to connect a multi-disciplinary team of staff with individuals facing complex and persistent challenges, many of whom live in difficult and often hostile circumstances. The programme's inclusive, person-centred approach has led to consistently high levels of engagement and retention. Participants have expressed overwhelmingly positive feedback, emphasising the sense of safety, belonging, and encouragement they experience through their involvement. 

The combination of tailored, supportive keyworker engagement and diverse enrichment activities creates an environment where participants not only feel supported but are also empowered to work towards a more positive and fulfilling future.  This holistic approach ensures that even those furthest from traditional pathways to education and employment can take meaningful steps towards achieving their goals. 

## **Burbo Bank - Pixel Voice** 

The Pixel Voice project originally planned two street-based and one centre-based session weekly. However, after exploratory mapping sessions revealed fewer young people gathering outdoors than anticipated, the delivery model shifted to two centre-based sessions and one street-based session weekly. Activities ranged from music production, filmmaking, and photography to podcasting and team sports. Young people were encouraged to explore their creativity using professional-grade equipment and software, while the project adapted its delivery to meet the diverse needs of participants, including those with neurodiversity and mental health challenges. 

We engaged 81 young people aged 9 to 25, primarily from West Rhyl and South West Rhyl, areas identified as deeply deprived by the Wales Index of Multiple Deprivation. Participants included isolated or marginalised individuals, some facing neurodivergence related challenges or adverse mental health. We collaborated with a volunteer from the local community and liaised with the local police and residents to address anti-social behaviour in a targeted area.

## **West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Outputs** 

- Weekly workshops covering music production, songwriting, filmmaking, podcasting, photography, and sports 

- Creation of original films, songs, podcasts, and photographs. 

- Youth-led projects, including a stop-motion animation and a drama addressing social issues. 

- Excursions to cultural landmarks and outdoor activities. 

- Skills development workshops covering camera techniques, audio production, and project planning. 

## **Outcomes** 

The project provided young people with new skills, confidence, and opportunities for self-expression. Participants developed technical abilities (e.g., photography, editing, and music production) and transferable skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership. Young people formed stronger friendships and broadened their horizons, particularly through cultural excursions. Community engagement improved, with a visible reduction in anti-social behaviour. Participants expressed heightened self-awareness and community understanding, contributing positively to their personal and social development. 

Participants described the sessions as welcoming and transformative. They appreciated the access to professional equipment and valued the creative freedom and supportive environment. Individual success stories highlighted profound impacts, including improved confidence, therapeutic self-expression, and new aspirations for careers in creative fields. Community members and partners, including the local police, noted positive changes in young people's behaviour and engagement. 

Thanks to the support of the Burbo Bank Extension Community Fund, Pixel Voice successfully empowered young people through creative activities, fostering self-expression, community awareness, and skills development while positively influencing the local community. 

## Additional delivery: 

**Cost of Living Grant** - from Denbighshire County Council - Grants were for impactful volunteering and/or social action projects to develop social and human capital in local places; to be delivered between January and March 2024.  The grant enabled us deliver vital additional drop-in sessions - providing hot meals and practical support, including access to shower and laundry facilities.  In addition we were able to continue the, otherwise at risk, weekly social group for neurodivergent young people. 

**StreetGames** - this grant enabled us to continue to deliver street-based sports and activities, providing important school holiday & out of school engagement opportunities for children & young people aged 10 to 17.  Activities delivered included weekly football sessions reaching in excess of 30 young people, non-contact boxing sessions and indoor activities at a local ballpark and laser-quest.

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Financial review and reserves policy** 

The Trustees have agreed that the reserves - of unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets - held by the charity should be equivalent to six months of operating costs including salaries. The trustees are happy that the charity is moving closer towards achieving this goal - a position which would provide some assurance and stability for the organisation at a time of change for charity. 

The charity has enjoyed a more stable financial year and there are no funds in deficit. There are no uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern, other than the general charity sector-wide uncertainty of funding, which the charity is seeking to address with the moves outlined under looking to the future. 

## **Looking to the future** 

The trustees continue to work closely with their counterparts in Prestatyn & Meliden Community Action Group to progress the proposed merger between the two organisations.  The new CIO, The Youth Engagement & Wellbeing Collective (YEW) has been registered with the Charity Commission.  What remains is for the trustees and the Charity Manager to conclude the process of selling the property in Prestatyn and prepare both organisations for the final stages of the merger.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of West Rhyl Young Peoples Project ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’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 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination 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.

## **West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 17 Bedford Street, Rhyl, Denbighshire, LL18 1SY. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees are of the opinion that, at the time of approving the financial statements the Charity can be expected to have adequate resources to support its operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing.  Consequently the Charity's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Freehold buildings and renovation costs are initially recorded at cost, with no depreciation less a permanent diminution in the value of the freehold property following revaluation.

**West Rhyl Young Peoples Project** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Fixtures and fittings 

- 25% straight line 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

## **Defined contribution plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
