Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a

Is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wlth ISAS (UK) wlll always detect a
material misstatement when It exlsts. Mlsstatements can arlse from fraud or error and are
consldered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to

For the year ended 31 March 2025
Performing audlt work over the risk of management override of controls, including testlng
journal entrles and other adjustments for approprlateness, evaluatlng a range buslness
rationale of slgniflcant transactlons outslde the course of business and reviewing accountlng
estlmates.
Because of the inherent Ilmltatlons of an audit, there Is a rlsk that we wlll not detett all
irregularities, including those leadlng to a materlal mlsstatement In the financlal statements or
non-compllance with regulatSon. This rlsk Increases the more that compllance wlth a law or
regulatlon is removed from the events and transactions reflected In the financial statements, as
we wlll be less Ilkely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The rlsk Is also greater
regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional
conceal ment, forgery, colluslon, omisslon or mlsrepresentation.
A further descrlptlon of our responsibilities for the audit of the tlnanclal statements Is located on
the Financial Reporting Council's webslte at: www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This

Housing propertles are divided into the major components and charged depreciatlon, so as to wrlte-
down the cost of each component to its estimated residual value, on a stralght line basls, over its

Annually, housing properties are assessed for impairment indicator5. Where Indlcators are Identlfled
an assessment for impalrment is undertaken comparing the property's carrying amount to its
recoverable amount. Where the carrylng amount of a property is deerned to exceed its recoverable
amount, the property is wrltten down to its recoverable amount. The resulting impairment loss is
recognised as operating expenditure, Where a property Is currently deemed not to be providing
serv5￿ potentlal to the Company• It5 recoverable amount is its fair value sess costs to sell.
For propertles that are used more for the fulfilment of contracts for young people, these are held
wlthln the other tangible flxed assets rather than social housing.
Social houslng propertles transferred are included In fixed assets at fair value wlth an equlvalent
amount shown as donated Income, Any liability to repay the grant fundlng if the property Is no longer
used for social houslng Is not included on the balance sheet but is shown as a contingent Ilability.

Investments
Listed investTnents are held at market value and represent investments held in investment funds that
are externally managed. Unrealised galns and losses arising on the revaluation of Investments are
credited or charged to the Statement of Comprehenslve Income. Investments in subsidlaries are
measured at cost less impairment.
Financjal Instruments
The charlty only holds baslc financlal Instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial asset5 and
flnancial Ilabllltles of the charlty and their measu rement basls are as follow5..
Flna
tLI a55ets trade debtor, accrued income and other debtors are baslc financial Instruments and
are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in nDte 14. Prepayments are not
financial instruments. Amounts from the charity s wholly owned subsldlary are held at face value less
any impairment.
Cash at bank and in hand Includes cash and short term highly liquid investments wlth a short
maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar
account. It is classified as a baslc financlal instrument and is measured at face value.
a ncial liabilities
trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial Instruments, and are
measured at amortised cost as detailed In notes 15 and 16. Taxatlon and soclal security are not
included in the flnanclal instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income Is not deemed to be a
financlal Ilablllty, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver
servlces rather than cash or another financlal instrument. Loans and borrowings, are Inltially
recognlsed at the transaction price includlng transactlon costs and subsequently, they are measured
at amortised cost using the effettlve interest rate method, less impalrment. If an arrangetnent
constitutes a finance transaction it Is measLFred at present value.
Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indicatlon that the asset may be impaired at
each balance sheet date. If such Indlcation exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the
asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss 15 recognised in proflt or loss unless the
asset Is carried at a revalued amount where the Impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
Provislons
Provislons are recognlsed when the charity has an obllgation at the balance sheet date as a result of
a past event, itls probable that an outflow of economic benefit5 will be requlred In settlement and the
amount can be reliably estimated.

Debtors recelvable and creditors payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated Interest rate and recelvable or payable within one year are
recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expendlture.
Loans and bomiwlngs
Loans and borrowlngs are initially recognlsed at the transactlon price including transaction costs.
Subsequently, they are measured at amort15ed cost uslng the effectlve interest rate method, less
Impairrnent. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
Leases
Rentals payable and recelvable under operatlng leases are charged on a 5tralght line basls over the
period of the lease.
Tax
The Company Is an exempt charity within the meanlng of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and Is
considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it
meets the definitlon of a charity for UK corporation tax purposes.
The activities of the Company are partlally exempt from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT whlch can be
attributed to a capital item or operatlng expendlture is added to the cost of the capital item or
expenses were practicable and material.
Turnover and other income
Turnover Is measured at the fair value of the consideratlon received or receivable net of VAT and
trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:
Tumover represents rental income receivable in the year net of losses from voids, revenue grants
from the government (local authorities) and Homes England (formerly the Homes and Communltles
Agency) and other income from tradirig.
Government grants are received In respect of purchasing flxed assets. These grants are recognised at
the fair value of the asset recelved or receivable. The assets are accounted for uslng the cost model
and the government grant is accounted for uslng the accruals model, The dIfferen￿ between the fair
value of the asset and the consideratlon is recognlsed as a Ilabllity and amorti5ed over the useful
economic life of the asset. This amortisatlon Is rec¢gnlsed withln turnover. Where di5P05al of
government donated assets are required to be recycled, a Ilabillty Is included to recognise this
obligatlon.
Grants re￿iVed as a contrlbutlon to revenue expenditure are recognised in the statement of
comprehenslve Income on a systematic basis over the period In which the organlsation recognises the
related costs for whlch the grant is Intended to compensate. Grants are recognised In the same
period as the related expenditure provided the conditions for receipt have been satlsfled and there Is
reasonable assurance that the grant will be re￿Ived.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2025
Other income streams are recognlsed when the Company is legally entitled to the Income after any
performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that
the Income wlll be received. More detail on speclflc elements of other Income streams are provided
below.
For donations to be recognlsed the Company will have been notlfled of the amounts and the
settlement date in Wr￿ting. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requlres a level of
performance before entitlement can be obtained then Income Is deferred until those condltlons are
fully rnet or the fulfilment of those conditlons Is within the control of the Company and it is probable
that they will be fulfilled. Income tax recoverable In relation to dc>nations received under Gift Ald or
deeds of covenant is recognlsed at the tlme of the donation.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised as Income at their fair value when
their economic benetit Is probable, It can be measLJred reliably and the charlty has control over the
item. Fair value is determlned on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the
amount the charlty would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and servlces. A
correspondlng amount is recognised in expenditure,
Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at falr value. They are not
deferred over the Ilfe of the asset.
For legacles, entitlement is the earlier of the charity bel ng notified of an i m pending dlstributlon or the
legacy being received. At this point Income is recogni5ed. On occasion legacles will be notified to the
charity. However it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be d15tributed. On these
occasions, the legacy Is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from the hostel, restaurant, health sulte and nursery, together with other income, is Included
in incomlng resources in the period to whlch the Income relates.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as pmperty. It
includes interest and rent. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income
is recognised uslng the effectlve interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the
charlty's right to receive payment is established.
Interest Income is recognised using the effective Interest method. Any assoclated Income tax
recoverable is recognised at the same time as Interest income is receivable.

Expenditure recognitlon
All expendlture is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classifled under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
constructive obllgation to make payments to thlrd partles, it is probable that the settlement wlll be
required and the amount of the obllgatlon can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT Is charged as an expense agalnst the activity for whlch expenditure arose.
Operatlng profit
Operating surplus includes all income and expendlture of the organlsatlon, other than Interest
receivable and investment gains.
Employee benefits
When employees have rendered a service to YMCA Brunel Groupi 5hort-term employee benefits to
whlch the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be pald In
exchange for that service.
YMCA Brunel Group operates defined contribution plans for the benefit of Its employees.
Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
YMCA Bmnel Group partlclpated in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for employees of
YMCAS In England, Scotland and Wales, which was closed to new rnembers and accruals on 30 April
2007. Due to insufficient Informatlon, the plan's actuary has advised that it is not possible to
separately identify the assets and liabilities ￿latIng to YMCA Brunel Grou p.
As descrlbed In note 26 YMCA Brunel Group has a contractual obligation to make penslon deficlt
payments of £23,356 pa over the perlcd to April 2027 (2024,. £41,323 pa to April 2029), accordingly
this is shown as a liablllty in these accounts. In addition, YMCA Brunel Group is required to
contribute £7,444 (2024.. £9,803 pa) to the operatlng expenses of the Penslon Plan and these costs
are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as made.
Restrlcted reserves
Restrlcted reserves are those reserve5 which are only expendable In accordance with the wlshes of
the funder or regulatory body. Restricted reserves include funds ralsed in response to a speclflc
appeal. Revenue and expenditure cannot be directly set against restricted ￿serveS but is taken
through the statement of comprehenslve income and then a transfer to restricted reserve5 is made
as appropriate.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that
no material uncertalntles exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the
expected level of incorne and expendlture for 12 months from authorising these financlal statements.
The budgeted Income and expenditure 15 sufficient with the level of reserves for the Company to be
able to continue as a golng concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reportlng date that have a slgnlflcant risk of causlng
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities include obligatlons under
defined benefit pension schemes (see note 26) and the split and useful lives of components of social
houslng and other fixed assets (see notes 10 and 11).

26. PENSION COMMITMENTS
Defined Beneflt Penslon Scheme
YMCA Brunel Group participated in a contributory pension plan providing deflned benefits based on
final penslonable pay for employees of YNCAS in England, Scotland and Wales. "rhe assets of the
YMCA Penslon Plan are held separately from those of YMCA Brunel Group and at the year end these
were invested In the Mercer Dynamic De-rlsklng Solution, 65Wo matching porffolio and 350/D in the
growth portfolio and Schroder (property unlts only).
The most re￿nt completed three year valuatlon was as at l May 2023. The assumptions used which
have the most significant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed
rates of return on assets of 4.56Q/o, the increase in penslons in payment of 3.18Wo (for FiPI capped at
5 % p,a.), and the average life expectancy from normal retlrement age (of 65) for a current male
pensioner of 21.5 years, female 24.0 years, and 23.1 years for a male pensloner, female 25.7 years,
retiring In 20 year5, tlme. The ￿sUIt of the valuation showed that the actuarial value of the assets
was £103.Im, which represented 92 % of the beneflts that had accrued to members.
The Pension Plan was closed to new members and future service accrual with effect from 30 April
2007, With the removal of the salary linkage for benefits all employed deferred members became
deferred members as from l May 2011.
The valuation prepared as at l May 2023 showed that the YMCA Pension Plan had a deficit of £9.1
million. YMCA Brunel Group was advlsed that It will need to make monthly contributions of £30,800
from l May 2024. This amount is based on the current actuarial assumptlons (as outlined above) and
may vary in the future as a result of actual performance of the Penslon Plan. Agreed future deficit
cor)tributions have been discounted uslng a rate of 50/0 (2024., 50/0). The current recovery period is 3
years commenclng 1st May 2024.
In addition, YMCA Brunel Gmup may have over tlme Ilabilities In the event of the non-payment by
other partlclpatlng YMCAS of their share of the YMCA Pension Plan's deficlt. It is not posslble currently
to quantlfy the potential amount that YMCA Brunel Group may be called upon to pay in the future.
