socialise, enjoy positive activities and access the support of professional youth workers as and when needed. All of these services were offered for free to local young people. The charity continued to innovate during this time. One such way was the new community cafes delivered in partnership with Myton Church that ran throughout the half term and school summer holidays. Offering free cooked meals to local residents we were able to cultivate stronger relationships with families and carers which gave us greater insight into the circu g people. This was done whilst also continuing to offer a fully funded sum with free trips to national attractions and specialist-led activities. None of enjoyed without us. 

Another exciting area of innovation w s to online donations we raised over £700 and were able to provide over h sweets, treats and snacks for local families who had been deeply affe lockdowns. We repeated it again in December 2021 and thanks to our Group we were able to double the number of hampers delivered. 

Throughout lockdown we were unab s. Schools at the time were the only place that offered any in-person sup ising that the charity invested heavily in its school service which had been anager appointed to oversee all our schools work our intention was to o ools assisting them in pastoral care. Beginning in Campion School, our s and within weeks we had a caseload that exceeded our capacity. In total w the course of the year. The charity now operates in two se |. We provide three small groups a week that meet for a fixed period of time a e of concern whether it be anger, anxiet relationships. We also provide 22 mento | of which are delivered by our team of professional youth workers. With our focus ngage young people at the earliest sign of concern and will continue to work with them hanges that occurred during our res ur delivery plans. Over the past 12 months we: 1) Reorganised our office environmen space for all staff to meet at the same time whilst adhering to social distancing g 2) Upgraded our CCTV system to prov young people and community residents 3) Conducted repairs on our outdoor sp a more effective space for young people 4) Set up a Young People First ‘Heart could apply to in order to purchase specific items, like new shoes, for vulnerable young people who do not have the financial means. 5) Improved our financial and fundraising reporting so the charity is better able to predict and prepare for leaner times should they arise. 6) Revisited and updated all of our policies and procedures including issuing a new staff handbook. We would like to draw attention to the following areas that we are particularly proud of:

CHARITY INFORMATION<br>Young People First (Midlands) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales.<br>The registered office is Jubilee House, Westlea Road, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 3JE.<br>2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br>Basis of preparing the financial statements<br>The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been<br>prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement<br>of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial<br>Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’,<br>Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of<br>Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006.

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has<br>adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to<br>adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.<br>Critical accounting judgements and Key sources of estimation uncertainty<br>In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates<br>and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other<br>sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are<br>considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.<br>The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates<br>are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the<br>period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.<br>No significant judgements have had to be made by the trustees in preparing these financial statements.<br>Income<br>All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it<br>is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.<br>Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of<br>the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation<br>to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.<br>Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the<br>amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.<br>Grants towards revenue expenditure are released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is<br>incurred. Grants of a capital nature are attributed to the relevant capital item to which the grant is in respect of<br>and amortised over the remaining useful life of the asset concerned.<br>Expenditure<br>Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the<br>charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and<br>the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has<br>been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly<br>attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of<br>resources.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>

YOUNG PEOPLE FIRST (MIDLANDS)<br>NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- continued<br>for the year ended 31 March 2021<br>2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES- continued<br>Expenditure<br>Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for<br>fundraising purposes and the cost of staff involved in the raising of funds and their associated support costs.<br>Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and<br>services for its beneficiaries and their associated support costs.<br>Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.<br>Support costs relate to expenditure that has been incurred on functions that assist the work of the charity but do<br>not directly relate to charitable activities.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and 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 the assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Leasehold Land Over the term of the lease Leasehold Buildings Over the shorter of 50 years or the lease term Over the term of the 10 year licence to occupy the land until Refurbishment of Sports Court 29 May 2024 Motor Vehicles Over 5 years (20% SL) Fixtures and Fittings Over 4 years (25% SL) Computers Over 3 years (33% SL) 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. Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting date the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are included in the financial statements at an amount in excess of either the expected sale proceeds or the value to the charity obtainable through future use (the recoverable amount). If an asset is held on the balance sheet at an amount greater than the recoverable amount then an impairment loss is recognised in the SoFA to reduce the asset value. 

## Taxation 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. Fund accounting Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. Foreign currencies Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES- continued 

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. The charity initially contributes 3% and matches employee contributions up to 8% of salary into the defined contribution scheme. 

Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments’ and section 12 'Other Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured a t transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

Reserves policy The Board of Trustees agreed in July 2021 that the charity would seek to retain a free reserve of three months running costs in addition to the organisational shutdown costs, which were recently estimated at £35,000. The charity has succeeded in meeting this target.
