MALT CROSS TRUST COMPANY
The Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019 (second edition)".
2024/2025 Strategic Intent
Everyone deserves a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
Malt Cross Trust Company sitting as part of the wider YMCA Robin Hood Group, our work is guided by this fundamental belief and is shaped in response to the needs of our local communities.
We believe in opportunity for all, beliefs that have driven a strategy for ourselves and the wider YMCA Robin Hood Group that is based in the hope and unwavering ambition that all children and young people in our region will one day have a fair chance to life-shaping opportunities.
A. Our North Star
In June 2024, we and the wider group launched our North Star mission across the organisation to unite our diverse services under a shared ambition and language of positive social change for children and young people
Our North Star statement is: We work relentlessly to ensure all children and young people have the developmental relationships and close connections that help them discover who they are, develop the strengths and abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them.
Throughout this year, we have worked hard to embed the North Star direction into all we do, empowering our staff team to deliver services driven by impact and outcomes for those we support beyond all else.
B. Developmental Assets and Relationships
At the core of our North Star sits a research-backed youth development framework that guides how we structure and craft our services for young people. Insights from a decade of research from the Search Institute show that a child’s likelihood of a happy, healthy future significantly increases when they are supported by the community around them to build positive personal competencies and behaviours.
Broadly, these qualities can be categorised into External Assets (those gained from positive experiences and support systems in a child’s environment), and Internal Assets (the internal values and skills that guide a child’s behaviours). Within this, there are eight sub-categories, and 40 individual assets.

External Assets
-
Support
-
Empowerment
-
Boundaries & expectations
-
Constructuve use of time
Internal Assets
-
Commitment to learning
-
Positive values
-
Social competencies
-
Positive identity
Supporting the assets are a set of Developmental Relationships – characteristics of positive relationships that best support children to build their strengths and abilities:
-
Express Care
-
Challenge Growth
-
Provide Support
-
Share Power
-
Expand Possibilities
Despite the disparity of experiences amongst children and young people in our region, development of these assets can help each of them discover and fulfil their potential. Our programmes and services are crafted by design to be grounded in these principles and support all young people holistically and equitably.
Developmental Assets and Relationships are the foundation to which the ‘how’ of our North Star becomes action.
C. Our Approach
With consideration to our community’s diverse experiences, purposeful integration of the North Star mission to all our programming acts as a golden thread between the work at Malt Cross Trust Company with that of the wider YMCA Robin Hood Group.
To holistically support our community, our shared strategies split into two core directives.
1. Respond
Dedicated provision for those whose wellbeing is at immediate risk.
This includes support for vulnerable children and young people, who require specialist services to protect their immediate safety, accompanied by longer-term pathways to independence and stability.
This is largely supported through work by YMCA Robin Hood Group in Supported Housing , as well as services delivered by the wider Group such as Children’s Residential Services . These provide trauma-informed intervention, support and housing for young people and children most at risk.

2. Prevent
Activities with a long-term view of positive social change, through developing young people and communities.
Hospitality
The focus of Malt Cross Trust Company and Malt Cross Ltd. Centres of community connection, our hospitality services and community spaces facilitate preventative programming from both YMCA and community partners and value-based organisations.
Community and Activity Village
A home to YMCA Robin Hood Group’s Prevent strategy at work, the Village in Newark provides an abundance of opportunity for the whole community. Programming supports Health and Wellbeing, Training and Education, Family and Youth Work, plus Business and Hospitality.
Children, Youth and Families
A blend of services for children and young people from ages 0-17. These services connect models of positive youth development and developmental assets and relationships to create a web of support for young people, equipping them to thrive as they get older.
D. Our Work
A unique part of the YMCA Robin Hood Group family, Malt Cross is a beautiful and cherished Grade II listed bar, kitchen and events venue in the heart of Nottingham city centre.
Hospitality has been a key driver of social change and community connectivity throughout YMCA for over 180 years. Within our region, our Hospitality is an important facilitator of our North Star mission, serving our community through the provision of practical spaces, as well as acting as a vehicle for social change and opportunity through programming.
Malt Cross building
Malt Cross Trust continued to own and manage our heritage building, with some repairs and upgrades to the roof and fabric of the building.
Street Pastors
The Malt Cross Trust’s Street Pastors core programme also continues to provide a unique and much-needed service supporting Nottingham city’s nighttime economy. Delivered by the work of a committed group of over 34 volunteers from local churches, Nottingham Street Pastors works alongside the emergency services, providing on-street care and support to those in need on Friday and Saturday nights.
Street Pastors hand out preventative supplies such as water, lollipops and flip-flops, and can provide emergency first-aid when someone’s night out takes a turn for the worst. This year, the programme supported on average 20 vulnerable people per night, helping to relieve pressure from the emergency services and door security staff.

MALT CROSS TRUST COMPANY
The Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
In 2025-26, the service hopes to strengthen its offer and support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges, and for marginalised groups – both of which the team have seen an increase in demand for over the past year.
Recruitment of Board Members
Board members are recruited through advertising in appropriate local media and by personal recommendation. Prospective Board Members apply and meet individually with the Chair, the Chief Executive and Group Company Secretary.
Candidates are interviewed and assessed against a skills matrix by a panel of current Board members and the Chief Executive. If successful, they attend one or more Board meetings as observers before accepting the position and being voted in. Board members are appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting or at other full Board meetings as needed.
Payment of Board Members
No fees or remuneration have been paid to any member or Board member of the charity during the year for their role as Board members.
Board members induction and training
Prospective board members receive an induction covering their obligations, the operational framework for the charity.
Organisational Structure
Malt Cross Trust’s Articles require a Board of no less than three members who meet at least annually and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. During the financial year, the Board had three members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity and recruitment plans are in place to expand this number.
A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services rests with the Senior Management team.
The Association ensures compliance with Companies House and Charity Commission directives.
Public Benefit
We have referred to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and are satisfied that the charity’s activities as described in our review of 2018-19 do provide wider public benefit. Board members consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set for the charity via review and approval in meetings.
Principal Activities
Nottingham Street Pastors
Nottingham Street Pastors have operated throughout the year. Volunteers offer help to vulnerable people in the City Centre in Nottingham's night time economy.

Heritage Outreach Project
The completion of the project, which saw the successful restoration of the Malt Cross Music Hall, has resulted in a desire for the delivery of activities exploring and sharing our heritage. The focus for the activity programmes going forward includes the recommencement of tours that increase in on-site heritage
information available to the attending public and the development of complementary activities to those successfully support such as the gin tasting events incorporating a more heritage focus.
Our partnership with Heritage Lottery Funding is an on-going relationship, as they will retain a charge of the site for 25 years following the completion of the restoration project.
Future Focus
•Seeking further investment for the Malt Cross Music Hall in an increasingly compe��ve market to support in the maintenance and upkeep of this historic building.
•The recruitment of addi�onal trustees with a more diverse range of opera�onal knowledge to support the Malt Cross Trust’s growth
•Securing future funding for the No�ngham Street Pastors project with the aim of extending exis�ng funding commitments from our major donors and seeking out new sources of income
•Support more events happening citywide to increase awareness of the importance of staying safe in the nighttime economy.
•Exploring the possibility of No�ngham Street Pastors running educa�onal projects with young people about risks faced in the night-time economy
•Developing new ways to share the story of the Malt Cross music hall’s heritage through ac�vi�es and events •Con�nuing and building upon the facilita�on of dona�ons to support partner chari�es working with local vulnerable people
The Malt Cross Trustees, staff and all those whom we have helped during this challenging year would like to sincerely thank all who have supported us both financially and in other ways.
Restricted reserves
Where restrictive conditions are placed upon any income receivable, it is accounted for within a restricted fund, in accordance with latest SORP recommendations.
Policy on reserves
The board members have examined the requirement for free reserves (referred to as General Reserves in the balance sheet), which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The board members consider that given the nature of the Association’s work, it is appropriate to ensure positive net assets are maintained and to avoid any significant net expenditure in the year. The reserves policy is reviewed on an annual basis.

Going Concern
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate ie whether there any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the trust to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment each year in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The parent company (YMCA Robin Hood Group) has agreed support to ensure the company can meet it's commitments for at least 12 months from the balance sheet signing date. YMCA Robin Hood Group has also given a parent company guarantee under Section 479A of the Companies Act 2006.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the Malt Cross Trust Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom, Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP/2015 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed,
-
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s examiner is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company’s independent examiner is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Malt Cross Trust Company (the ‘company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statement, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
• Give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the year then ended.
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statement is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the financial statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial
-
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
• the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
page 12
Docusign Envelope ID: A4873019-A595-4CA5-A20D-736E59694FB4Docusign Envelope ID: 9D7DF203-CCCA-4631-AC26-7D1F7DD141D8
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the industry in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the acts by the charitable company, which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations including fraud, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated
management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to inflated revenue and the charitable company’s net income for the year and potentially undisclosed related parties.
Audit procedures performed included:
-
Review of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation
-
Enquiries of management and testing of journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud
-
Enquiry of management regarding any instances of actual or potential fraud during the year.
-
Assessment of fraud prevention and detection procedures within the company.
-
Enquiry of management regarding actual and potential litigation and claims, or any potential breaches of laws and regulations.
-
Substantive testing of revenue transactions and assessment of controls implemented by the company.
-
Enquiry of management concerning any new or potentially undisclosed related parties based on reviews of accounting records.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

MALT CROSS TRUST COMPANY
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
Malt Cross Trust Company is a limited company by guarantee, registered in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.
The Malt Cross Trust Company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019 (second edition)".
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going Concern
The Trustees make an assessement each year, in respect of a period of one year from the date of the approval of the financial statements, whether there any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the trust to continue as a going concern and therefore whether the use of going concern is appropriate.
The parent company (YMCA Robin Hood Group) has agreed support to ensure the company can meet it's commitments for at least 12 months from the balance sheet signing date, and thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concen basis in preparing the financial statements.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receipt is probable or more likely than not to be received, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. Further detail is given in the Trustees' Annual Report.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity.

- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Incoming resources (continued)
Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. The charity receives income from government and other grants which are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probably that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If the entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value) over their useful economic lives:
Freehold property 2% straight line Long leasehold 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings 10 - 20% straight line Computer equipment 33% straight line
Grants receivable
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the conditions for receiving the grant have been met.
Where performance criteria is not yet met, grant income is deferred until such time as criteria is achieved.
Finance and operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
