TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024. 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:
-
Pre-16 training to school students who are at risk of exclusion.
-
Study Programmes to 16 and 17 year olds who frequently have been refused training elsewhere.
-
Motor Vehicle apprenticeships to 16-25 year olds who have, as a result of placements, been employed.
-
Level 2 and 3 motor vehicle courses to clients within the trade who wish to gain new skills and qualifications.
-
MOT related training courses to experienced motor mechanics.
-
Electric vehicle maintenance courses to experienced motor mechanics.
NYA operates a fully equipped garage which services and repairs cars for members of the public, at reasonable rates.
NYA also recycles push bikes. Our learners renovate donated bikes which are then sold, at low prices, to local families and young people. We also give them to any learners who feel this would help them travel when starting a work placement.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2024
Objectives and activities (continued)
Achievements and performance
Review of activities
Despite the constant pressures of working in government funded programmes this has been another successful year in training. NYA has raised standards in qualification achievement and progressions and developed and implemented a more structured training timetable. NYA continues to be proactive in providing other training and experiences for the learners, over and above their formal programme to help with employability development and life experiences and as we continue to find new work placements, to give them the industry experience they need and the opportunity to find an Apprenticeship or employment from this opportunity. We plan all these opportunities depending on the individual needs of each learner, so as not to set them up to fail.
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. Our occupancy levels are now back to a satisfactory level and we have met our contract value for last year. Overall, this area of work has been very successful and productive. Our achievement and progression rates are rising and we have achieved the targets set out on our Service level agreement of 75% and 83% respectively in 2023/24.
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. The Apprenticeship programme has not proved to be as successful as we had hoped and both learners and Employers have become discouraged with the time and intensity of the qualification and the fact no End point assessment centres can be accessed locally adding to extra costs for the Employer.
Employers
We have continued to proactively develop relationships with reputable employers with a view to obtaining placements and ultimately employment. This takes up a considerable amount of time and we now have 3 staff members working on this area. Evidence suggests this work is very much to the benefit of our learners. Those on work placement learn and develop skills and complete their evidence much better than when in the training centre as they do not get the distractions.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2024
Achievements and performance (continued)
Hairdressing
Hairdressing focused on Pre 16 students from school, until the trainer left in June 2023. We have not continued with this subject area.
Hospitality
Hospitality focused on Post 16 learners but the maximum enrolled was 5 and therefore not cost effective. When the trainer left in February 2023, we continued with 2 learners to gain their qualifications, but have made the decision to not continue with his subject area.
Additional income sources
NYA has continued to deliver MOT training courses in MOT station management, MOT tester training and annual MOT tester refreshers.
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:
-
Level 3 diploma in vehicle maintenance and repair
-
Air conditioning systems servicing
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. We increased the cost of these courses in October 2023 and this has continued to give us a good stream of income to offset the lack of government money.
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 (2023: £Nil) as a result of all income relating to restricted funds being expensed in the year.
Unrestricted funds increased by £13,387 prior to a depreciation charge of £36,702, resulting in a decrease of £23,315 to £1,112,286 (2023: £1,135,601).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2024
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
-
Northumbria Youth Action Limited is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 14 January 2000.
-
The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association and is a registered charity number 1064098.
The principal objectives of the company are:-
-
To create the opportunity for young people from Northumbria to participate in challenging activities that offer new experiences, enhance skills and build a sense of achievement and self-esteem.
-
To create opportunities for young people to develop responsible attitudes.
-
To allow access to the workshop environment in which young people can learn skills in motor vehicle, hairdressing, hospitality and allied trades, which could assist in gaining employment or progression into training.
-
To provide training to young people in automotive vehicle maintenance and repair, vehicle fitting, hairdressing, hospitality, functional skills and bicycle repair. The target group consists of all those young people in the community, with an emphasis on the less advantaged and those at risk.
-
The trainees include young people who have not engaged recently in education, employment or training (NEET). All young people should be engaged in learning or work opportunities that are appropriate to their needs, so that they can acquire the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to build a positive future and stay away from crime and anti–social behaviour.
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, Duncan Campbell and Paul Cook.
Patron & Vice Patron
Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington has continued to be an active patron of Northumbria Youth Action Limited. He was extremely helpful in developing contacts between the Charity and the Business Sector, but since he has retired from the Police force has not been as active.
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 over the years , however since his retirement has not been as active with NYA, although we know if we have motor trade issues we could contact him for advice.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR END 31 JULY 2024
Structure, governance and management (continued)
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 now two managers, following the retirement of Mike Johnson and Jim Coltman in October and April respectively, Carolyn Mount and Shaun Sutton. Carolyn manages the day to day running of the charity, the training contract and business and oversees fundraising activities. Shaun Sutton manages the garage activities. There are four 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.
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. We would like to offer a Pre study programme for those not quite ready to embark on a fulltime qualification and all the evidence gathering and exams. An Employability programme could be a good introduction with a work placement in the garage for those who are keen to progress onto the Motor vehicle course.
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. Our current tutor is looking to retire next summer so we will need to consider who will take over this role as it is a programme we need to consider maintaining.
Post 16 Training
Study programmes are established and working well and have been improving over the last couple of years.
Last year saw a change to the delivery of the programme and more 1-1 sessions offered to those who required more support, hence improving our achievement rate. We have noticed more young people attending with EHCP’s and we are undertaking some staff training so,staff can better identify and develop strategies to support them.
We have approached North Tyneside Council to enquire about any work we could do to support any gaps in provision for young people as we need to bid for the Barnardos contract next year. As this is our main source of income we need to plan for other work should we not be successful.

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 2024.
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').

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 The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.
