Objectives and Activities of the Charity

The charitable objects of the organisation:

Ryedale YMCA aims to embody the YMCA objectives as follows:

YMCA enables young people to develop their full potential in mind, body, and spirit. Inspired by, and faithful to our Christian Values, we create supportive, inclusive, and energising communities, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

Ryedale YMCA aims to provide safe, secure, supported accommodation of a high standard. We achieve this by:

Public benefits that arise from the charitable aims

We provide accommodation and support for homeless young people. This benefits the local community by removing many of the social problems associated with homelessness, and the wider community through vocational assistance, supporting residents as they learn to live independently.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, and planning future activities.

The charity’ s aims including the changes or differences it seeks to make through its activities

We support young people who have had problems at home and now face the prospect of being homeless. Some require support to enter into further education, training or employment, to effectively manage a budget or to progress their claim for benefits. We aim to move young people through an effective program of support, and also a resettlement programme which should enable them to sustain an independent tenancy with a social or private landlord.

The charity manages the property known as The Sidings, in Malton, North Yorkshire. The property consists of 14 flats.

Support workers enable young people to gain basic life skills, equipping them to take an active role in society.

Ryedale YMCA

(A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

Details of significant activities (including its main programmes, projects, or services provided) that contribute to the achievements of the stated objectives.

Ryedale YMCA continues to offer accommodation to young people in the Ryedale area, aged between sixteen and thirty-five. Eight of the available fourteen rooms are contracted to the North Yorkshire Young Persons Housing Partnership. The referrals for these rooms come from a central hub based at the North Yorkshire Council. The contract is commissioned by the North Yorkshire Council and manged by Foundation Housing. We have a working agreement in place with Foundations Housing, to deliver support to the eight young people.

We continue to havea very close, positive working relationship with North Yorkshire Council. They recognise us as a housing provider, offering a high level of support and care to the young people who live here.

The other six rooms are for direct letting by ourselves. We will accept people up to the age of twenty-five, in need of housing. Generally, the referrals come from the North Yorkshire Council, however any agency can refer, and we also accept self-referrals.

We no longer administer the post of Homeless Prevention Officer as it has been transferred to Foundation Housing.

Achievements and performance

The key challenges continue to be adapting to a changing environment, working with other colleagues and the needs of our residents. The impact of increasing mental health needs and the additional support required continues to be a challenge.

Face to face meetings and group work have continued and help us to support our residents with accessing other services, promoting self-care and resilience, and developing independent living skills.

We continue to develop the Foundation Housing contract for eight levels of support, with demand outstripping availability for the Pathway 2 support.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document

Ryedale YMCA Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered as a charity on 28 February 1996. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects of the charitable company and is governed by the articles of association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Appointment of the Executive Committee

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law, and under the company’s articles are known as the Executive Committee

The trustees who served during the year and set out on the Charity and Company Information page. None of the trustees receive any remuneration or benefits.

Trustee induction and training

Most new trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity, having generally had some exposure to the work we do before being nominated for appointment.

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. In addition, new trustees are encouraged to visit The Sidings and familiarise themselves with the project.

Organisational structure

The charity is governed by its Executive Committee, which meets on a regular basis. Advice and assistance is also provided by Y Housing and the YMCA for England and Wales.

The committee currently consists of six members, who meet every two months and are responsible for strategic direction and policy of the charity.

Day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rests with the Project Manager with support from the Chief Officer who are responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified, that performance criteria are met, and that staff skills and working practices are developed in line with YMCA guidelines. We recruited a new Chief Executive Officer in January 2022, tasked with driving the strategic direction of the organisation.

Future of the scheme

As reported previously, Ryedale YMCA has joined a consortium of 5 similar YMCA schemes, known as Y Housing, and bought themselves out of previous arrangements with YMCA England. This was finalised in June 2018.

Blackburn YMCA trading as Y Housing, is now the legal owner of the properties until fully paid by each YMCA scheme, estimated over a period of 25 years, at which time each scheme has an option to purchase their property for a nominal fee of £1. Whether this option is taken up will depend on whether Registered Housing status has been achieved. The monthly payments to Y Housing effectively replace the rent previously paid YMCA England.

Financial Review

Policies on reserves

The trustees aim is for the unrestricted reserves to remain at a level of three months operating costs, to ensure that the charity could meet its financial obligations if there was a significant reduction in income. At present, this equates to approximately £53,000. The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves.

Financial position

The financial statements are set out on pages 7 to 16.

The Statement of Financial Activities show net deficit resources for the year of £42,914 (2023: surplus of 51,023), with £29,181 (2023: surplus of £29,231) relating to unrestricted activities and £13,733 relating to restricted reserves.

The total reserves at the year-end stand at £184,315 (2023: £227,228), of which free unrestricted reserves amounted to £172,435 (2023: £201,616).

Plans for Future Periods

Our commitment to providing a relevant service for young homeless people is paramount, and the trustees continue to work to this end. We remain optimistic that we will be able to continue at these levels.
