TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

The principal objectives are as described in the structure, governance and management section of the report.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit

Through the medium of motor vehicle, hairdressing, hospitality and bicycle training NYA helps young people mature and make the most of their potential. Indeed, our mission statement is:

NYA is committed to unleashing young people’s full potential through the world of work and training to provide a fuller richer life.

NYA is a specialist, independent training provider which delivers:

NYA operates a fully equipped garage which services and repairs cars for members of the public, at reasonable rates. It also operates a hairdressing salon and commercial style kitchen for training purposes.

NYA also recycles push bikes. Our learners renovate donated bikes which are then sold, at low prices, to local families and young people.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2023

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

Despite the financial pressures of Covid 19, this has been another successful year in training. NYA has raised standards in qualification achievement and invested in improvements to premises and equipment. NYA continues to be proactive in course and programme design but continues also to be flexible and reactive to the needs of our client group.

Pre-16 North Tyneside Council

Provision of courses for young people living in North Tyneside has been popular and effective. The majority of young people referred to this programme are reluctant school attenders. Numbers have been high and as a result, income from this work has been relatively high throughout the year.

Pre-16 Various

Significant income has been generated by providing “one off” courses for a range of young people. Income has resulted from close liaison with a number of schools in the North Tyneside, Newcastle and South Tyneside areas.

Post-16 Study Programmes

Study Programmes were introduced by the Government in August 2013. Since Covid, we have struggled to reach 2019 levels of occupancy but numbers are improving and we have again been able to meet contract value. Overall, this area of work has been very successful and productive. Our achievement rates and progression rates are rising and remain well above national averages at 75% and 92% respectively in 2022/23.

Post-16 Apprenticeships

Delivered by sub contract to Resources NE Ltd. Our experience continues to be that employers are not prepared to take young people on a fully paid apprenticeship until they have seen the young people working on placement. We have continued to give dedicated staff time to opening more placements with employers and despite changes to apprenticeship funding and conditions, this has again produced a small number of apprenticeships. Success rates continue to be high and in 2022/23 were over 70%.

Employers

We have continued to proactively develop relationships with reputable employers with a view to obtaining placements and ultimately employment via apprenticeships. This takes up a considerable amount of time and one staff member is now working in this area. Evidence suggests this work is very much to the benefit of our learners.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

Hairdressing

Hairdressing was introduced in March 2016. Since that time, pre 16 numbers have been good but post 16 numbers have been low. It was decided to only work with pre-16 learners in hairdressing from September 2022.

Hospitality

Hospitality training was introduced in September 2019 but numbers were small during the first year and have remained at low levels in 2022/23.

Additional income sources

Three significant income streams were introduced during 2016/17 in order to raise additional funds to pay for training of young people. Since August 2016, NYA has delivered MOT training courses in MOT station management, MOT tester training and annual MOT tester refreshers. In 2022/23 delivery of over 65 courses to a total of 194 candidates produced significant income.

Carrying out MOT tests and subsequent repairs to MOT failures has also continued to produce significant additional funding.

NYA is frequently being asked, by employers, to train adult mechanics who are already employed. This training does not involve Government funding but does generate income for NYA. Courses being offered include:

Income from all of these sources is used to overcome the shortfall in Government funding. It enables NYA to work with small numbers of young people aged 16-21 for whom Government funding is unavailable or reduced.

Financial review

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Review of the year

Restricted funds carried forward are £Nil (2022: £Nil) as a result of all income relating to restricted funds being expensed in the year.

Unrestricted funds increased by £10,079 prior to a depreciation charge of £36,725, resulting in a decrease of £26,646 to £1,135,601 (2022: £1,162,247).

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The principal objectives of the company are:-

Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. The trustees retiring by rotation who, being eligible, are available for reelection are Brenda Gildea and Duncan Campbell.

Patron & Vice Patron

Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington has continued to be an active patron of Northumbria Youth Action Limited. He has been extremely helpful in developing contacts between the Charity and the Business Sector. John Squires OBE agreed to act as vice patron. He has been particularly helpful in developing NYA's contacts with the motor trade and refining our business plan.

Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The company is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage the affairs of the charity and to agree to ongoing developments. There are three managers, Jim Coltman, Mike Johnson and Carolyn Mount who manage the day to day running of the charity and oversee fundraising activities. In addition, Shawn Sutton manages garage activities. There are five qualified vocational trainers, plus additional sessional staff employed when required, to deliver vocational and other qualifications which the charity has undertaken to provide. There is an internal verifier, qualified functional skills teacher, two admin staff and a support officer. The charity uses Ryecroft Glenton as its accountants and during the financial year banked with Natwest Bank plc.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Financial risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

The past year has been very successful. It is our intention to maintain standards of training and to further expand the courses offered. Numbers in hairdressing and Hospitality will be increased.

Pre-16 Training

It is our intention to maintain current levels of occupancy – offering up to 12 pre-16 places per day to our current clients. All referring schools/agencies have indicated they intend to continue working with NYA in the next academic year.

Post-16 Training

Study programmes are established and working well. During the coming year we expect to maintain high occupancy owing to the number of young people who wish to stay on at NYA for a second or third year.

NYA will continue to work with employers and our talented young people, to establish increased numbers of apprenticeships.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2023

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Northumbria Youth Action Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Company'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 (enter body here), which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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.

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Current forecasts indicate that the company expects to be able to operate within these facilities for the foreseeable future. These facilities are renewed annually and are not guaranteed for the period covered by the going concern review.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
