The charity conducts operations with these principles in mind. It believes that positive and constructive relationships must be developed between all different communities in Sunderland.

The Charity continues to further develop Youth committees, Youth Voice and a Volunteer Project. In response to the continuing demand of the minority groups within the area, the charity has provided sport, centre based and out of centre sessions to various groups within the Sunderland.
There has been an increase in demand for junior membership, young volunteers, women and young girls group work throughout the year. The programmes offered have been to help develop their Employability and Social skills and continue with issue-based work and sports sessions such as fitness for adult women and men. This pattern of increase in demand continues as there are more people interested in joining YAV and accessing services.
YAV played an active role in city culture and diversity events throughout the year and has been seen as a leading organisation for delivering youth and community work within marginalised committees. The charity continues to be supported strongly by Volunteers and Staff in carrying out its work and this has been highly appreciated by Staff, Management committee and everyone involved in the Charity.

## _**Independent Examiners Report**_
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Young Asian Voices (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## _Responsibilities and basis of report_
As the Trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## _Independent examiner's statement_
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 Trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements do 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Accounting Policies**
## **Charity information**
Young Asian Voices (also known as "YAV"), is constituted under a trust deed dated 18th February 1996.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The Trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **Going Concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **Charitable Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Designated funds relate to the purchase of tangible assets to be used for charitable purposes as laid down by the donor.
## **Income**
Income received by way of donations and grants is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Young Asian Voices – Annual Report and Accounts – Year Ending 31[st] March 2021 - Charity No. 1054783
When donors specify the donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Interest is included when receivable by the charity.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is included on an accrual’s basis.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% reducing balance. Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
## **Taxation**
The Trust is a registered charity and is not liable to United Kingdom income or corporation tax on charitable activities, provided income falls within the charitable exemptions and is spent on charitable purposes.
## **Donations and Legacies**
In 2021 £4,342 was unrestricted and £0 was restricted
