Famil Work During the year the association continued to deliver high quality OFSTED registered early years provisions across six sites in North Somerset, Somerset and Devon. Recruitment of early years practitioners has continued to prove challenging. This is a sector-wide matter, and relates in part to a two year deficit of new practitioners entering the sector and higher wages being offered in other sectors of the economy, which early years income cannot support. Whilst during the year this improved as we have benchmarked salaries against other providers and revisited our added value offer, we must continue to ensure that we invest in our current team to sustain our offer. We have continued to offer apprenticeships across these settings and during the year have supported 12 young people through a mixture of Level 2 and Level 3 apprenticeships. Beyond the above we have continued to deliver our day camps offer from one location, which continues to be supported well, and provides outdoor activities for children during school holidays. Health and Wellbein Programme delivery including youth work, fitness and outdoor activities has continued to be well supported during the year. North Somerset youth provision continues to flourish and be impactful on the beneficiaries it serves, alongside our successful young carers programme. Fitness facilities are being well used, however classes continue to be more popular than gym access. We continue to review this offer and are looking at national trends alongside regional competition to plan for the future. Trainin and Education The Beach Hotel, Minehead is now in its tenth year of operation and this year provided six apprenticeships in professional cookery, hospitality and housekeeping. Whilst making this provision the levels of customer service are high, evidenced in our ranking as the most popular hotel in the region. During the spring and summer seasons the hotel has grown again in terms of turnover, guest stays, and meals provided, and alongside the numbers of apprenticeships offered four have been converted into full time employment. The impact of the staycation continues to be positive and forward bookings for 2024125 look to have increased again. From a missional perspective and to support revenues over the winter this year we again opened our offer to support families who had been made homeless through altering some of the rooms in the hotel to family facilities. This provided 8 families with accommodation and sUPPOrt through December to February. The Great Western Hotel, Taunton has continued to thrive during the year. This provision adjacent to the Taunton Railway Station offers hotel accommodation, a café, meeting rooms and collaborative work hubs. This provision during the year offered two apprenticeships. The occupancy of this location continues to more than 85% throughout the year," this is a blend of both business and tourist travellers. Page 7 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Trustees, Report (incorporating a Strategic Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024 Barley Wood continues to flourish: the numbers of individual bookings this year, be these weddings or whole house hires, was the highest since the acquisition of the building. We have begun to see an increase in midweek conferences and residential stays and have developed a marketing strategy to further grow this area of work. The Beach Hotel, Weston-super-mare, acquired in March 2021, provided two apprentices during the year and operated at 60Yo capacity for the year. Whilst we have begun to develop a good reputation in the town, it was decided to close the building as a hotel during January 2024. We are currently working with stakeholders and other partners to develop a new function for the building. Our Tenant Accreditation Scheme, which young people attend to support them in achieving and sustaining a tenancy, has delivered 181 hours of support during the year with 42 completers. Alongside this the Tenant Ready Scheme, which prepares previously homeless individuals for tenancies, has delivered 582 hours of support with 90 completers. These schemes have been funded by our local authorities and have exceeded all targets set. Accommodation During the year local government reform took place. resulting in Sedgemoor and Somerset West and Taunton District Councils being absorbed into a newly formed unitary Somerset Council. We have continued to provide housing and support to young people aged 16-25, to single homeless persons and to families in this area. North Somerset Council funds the support elements of our service in its own area. We provide housing and support to young people aged 16-25 alongside outreach services and accommodation for single homeless persons. We also work closely with Mid Devon Council in delivery of floating support and housing provision, from one location. Pathwa sto Inde endence and Somerset Council 16+ Tender Throughout the year we have continued the delivery of the P21 contract across both Sedgemoor, and Somerset West and Taunton. During the year we tendered for and were awarded the new replacement contract for support of young people, named 16+. This contract is for 5 years. Fundraisin All fundraising events planned by Bridgwater YMCA are not reliant on the support of other professional fundraising bodies. When carrying out fundraising activities we adhere to the code set out by the Fundraising Regulator. These standards are monitored, and during the year we did not fail to comply. We also received no complaints with regard to our approach to fundraising. When planning for fundraising events, alongside the code, we consider if our approach could be considered an unreasonable encroachment on a person's privacy, we ensure we are not unreasonably persistent and that we never place undue pressure on a person to give money or property. This year we undertook one fundraising event which was in partnership with Yeo Valley. This event profiled our work, and created links with regional businesses in order to further develop our Inspired Industry days. Youn ersons, involvement The level of young persons, involvement continues, and reflects in how our service is delivered, with young people's groups at all sites, and user groups for all activities. All information is fed back to the board through clear reporting lines.

This has served to enrich the lives of our young people who engage. and provides an excellent support function to all staff. Our aspiration is to continue to develop this role further across the Association, with persons from specific parishes serving the various geographic locations. Staff Develo ment and Wellbein Staff development has again been important in the achievements of this year. With the continuation of the introduction of an Emerging Manager programme and sharing of training resources with other third sector organisations locally, we have increased the opportunities available to staff and volunteers. Alongside this we have introduced a staff healthcare package, which has been received well by the whole team. Each month we are carrying out staff wellbeing surveys, and sharing the outcome with the whole Association. FINANCIAL REVIEW Overview Incoming resources generated during the year were £11,382,37612023: £10,549,663), a 7.9% increase on 2022/23. As straight operating costs were tightly controlled there was a proportionate decrease in operating costs, with expenditure (including interest costs) totalling £11,296,04212023: £11,035,861) being incurred. The Association has posted a surplus for the year of £86.334 (2023: a deficit of £486,198). The Association is again forecasting a surplus in the coming year 2024/25, this in spite specifically of the costs of recruitment issues. This will be achieved through careful management of expenditure; it is important to note we also are not forecasting any one-off costs in the year 2024/25, which have in previous years had a negative impact on our performance. At the end of the year net liabilities were £298,742 representing a decrease of 22.4% against 2023 net liabilities of £385,076. Goin concern assessment and loan covenants Note 2 to the financial statements discloses the impact of the deficit for the year ended 31 March 2023, given the Association's financial covenants to Triodos bank. As explained further in Note 2, and taking into account the improvement in financial performance in both the year ended 31 March 2024 and again since the year-end, the Trustees are confident that the Association has worked through the difficult times to return to covenant compliance and in the medium term will continue to rebuild its reserves. They will continue to take the necessary steps to manage the Association's financial security. Value for Mone The Association in line with its VFM policy has a duty to ensure an efficient and effective service to all it serves. Our operational environment is often highly complex and variable. and this is reflected through our variety of funding streams. During the year, the YMCA has ensured VFM for each of its clients and funders through effective procurement of goods and efficient delivery of services.

Reserves at the year-end were -£305,428, also free reserves, i.e. unrestricted reserves less the carrying amount of functional assets, were also in a deficit position, having been through a significant period of growth and investment. It remains a key element of the business plan to achieve the aim of £500,000, through consolidation of current services, development of new services and through careful management of budgets to achieve healthy surpluses. The support of our Bank is key in this, and during the year we continued a working relationship with Triodos Bank to whom our loan book was transferred in July 2021. Accommodation occupancy levels during the year ended 31 March 2024 have increased, following the previous several years of redevelopment of stock. This has had a positive impact on revenue, alongside the further embedding of social enterprise models in our work. which again have made significant contributions to our income streams. In the delivery of the latter we have both had a significant impact on our beneficiaries, and increased our non-restricted funds to a level supporting the ongoing development of the Association and sustaining its presence as an important provider of community resources. 20,246 -5.6Yo 1.8% 0.8% -4.6Yo 0.5% -2.lyo The trustees, along with a restructured executive team, have continued to adhere to a series of actions agreed during the year ended 31 March 2023. Results during 2023/24 have shown that the plan to increase reserves is working well, and we intend to continue this work during the next financial year. Investments Polic The trustees have again kept reserves as liquid as possible during the last twelve months. This has been to ensure that the Association has been able to meet its obligations to creditors and staff by careful management of cashflow. The trustees will continue to monitor the situation throughout the year. Page 10 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Trustees, Report (incorporating a Strategic Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Risk is the threat or possibility that an action or event (or sometimes inaction) will adversely affect an organisation's ability to achieve its objectives. Risk Poli The aim of our risk policy is to enable Bridgwater YMCA to achieve its mission. Therefore, we accept those risks to which we must subject ourselves to deliver our mission. We strive to:_ avoid unnecessary risks- control risks which inevitably arise as a result of our activities; monitor risks which cannot be tightly controlled without compromising delivery of the mission; and take risks which we have assessed as likely to lead to positive outcomes. Control and monitorin of risk arisin from activities We aim to understand, document and review all significant risks that arise from our ongoing activities. We do this by making and regularly updating a business risk analysis and following up all matters that require attention. Where controls can be created or improved in a practical and cost-effective manner, these are implemented. The business risk analysis is made available to the board annually for review, and any matter that arises during the year with a risk score of 20 or more is highlighted at the next board meeting. Work during the prior year identified that financial sustainability is the major risk for the charity. A key element in managing this risk is a regular review of available funds to settle debts as they become due. The finance team has worked well during our business recovery from Covid to mitigate any risk. Alongside this, regular liaison with our bank and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances has ensured that we have sufficient working capital at all times. Over the past five years we have seen an increase in threats toward staff, and an increase in the vulnerability of the clients with whom we work. These matters clearly indicate a risk to staff. We have ensured during this period that we update lone working policies, that the correct equipment is carried by those who do lone work, and that in areas of high tolerance to our clients there are two staff members present at all times. We continue to monitor this risk. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS anisation During quarter four of 2022/23 we published our 3 year strategy for the Association. This continues the focus on more efficient use of resources, with the aim of increased sustainability and improved outcomes for communities, including children, young people and adults who may wish to access our services. This will be reviewed during 2024/25, and the financial plan will be re-forecast in detail for the following three years, and also extended for a further ten years. Delive We look throughout 202412025 to continue to increase our impact across Somerset, North Somerset and Devon. We will be enhancing the facilities across each of our sites, increasing capacity and relevance for our varied user groups, and increasing children's, families, and young people's access to support. Through enhancing our facilities. we look to ensure that all 'green' options are explored in terms of procurement of buildings, provision of energy and disposal of waste. Much of the above is in line with our strategic plan, and its ongoing review in light of increasing utility costs.

North Somerset Council, Devon County Council, Mid Devon. and Weston-super-mare Town Council. in the provision of new and innovative approaches to create opportunities for young people, plus preventing and managing homelessness for young people and families across the districts. We also intend to further develop our services into Devon and work closely with the area both at county and district level. Partnerships will be key in achieving the above where we look to the third sector, public and private sectors to join together to enable the best outcomes for all, whilst showing efficiencies in all that we do.

Arran ements for settin ofke ement ersonnel The directors consider the board of directors, who are the charitvs trustees, and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing, controlling and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All directors, expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in notes 7 and 24 to the accounts. mana The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the nature of the charity. the directors benchmark against pay levels in other YMCAS of a similar size. The remuneration benchmark is the midpoint of the range paid for similar roles, adjusted with a weighting of up to 20Yo for any additional duties. If recruitment has proven difficult then in this instance, we will pay no more than greater than the maximum benchmarked salary for a comparable role. Em ment olicies The Group employed an average of 238 people in 202312412022123- 2111. Through its equality, diversity and inclusion policy, the Association seeks to ensure that every employee, without exception, is treated equa Ily and fairly and that all employees are aware of their responsibilities.

The Association is responsive to the needs of its employees. As such. should any employee of the Group become disabled during their time with us. we will actively retrain that employee and make reasonable adjustments to their working environment where possible, in order to keep the employee with the Group. It is the policy of the Group that the recruitment. training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees. Em ement Bridgwater YMCA engages with its employees on a regular basis and in a number of ways to suit their different working patterns. This includes- Appointment during the prior year of 'Head of Colleague Experience, line manager briefings; 'At Home, days, where we meet with staff on a monthly basis to share news from across the association eeen email news alerts, and noting that not all staff have access to email we also use an online platform to inform all staff of news and opportunities focus groups; weekly bulletins- specifically targeted at housing and early years staff, and Page 14 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Trustees, Report (incorporating a Strategic Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024 employee social media groups Details of the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the Company are shared with all employees at the appropriate time using the methods listed above. This involves attending 'At Home, days, focus groups and providing feedback on values and behaviours, employee development and upskilling and ensuring that feedback is listened to and acted upon where appropriate. The board envisages that the employee voice role will become more active in the coming year as the business recovers from the impact of the pandemic and that the insight monthly satisfaction surveys are able to provide will be very helpful to the board in understanding the views of employees. Updates on employee matters are normally presented to the Remuneration Committee or board at least twice a year and cover a wide range of issues. Over the course of 2023124 these updates have focused in particular on workforce planning. employee engagement and wellbeing. The Remuneration Committee is also informed where significant changes are proposed to employment conditions and policies elsewhere in the Association, or if there are important employee related projects underway. We provide opportunities for employees to give their feedback to the Association in a number of ways, from team or managers meetings across our work and engagement surveys for all employees. Brid water YMCA Staff Offer Our clearly defined people promise enables us to differentiate our employment proposition, and list below illustrates in more detail the elements of our offer. Clearly, pay is a very important element but other factors also play an important part of the overall value proposition, which is known internally as our'staff Offerf. Our people value opportunities for progression, challenge within their role, fair rewards and a safe working environment. Our research has also shown that, in normal times, unlike some industries and employers, Bridgwater YMCA offers a number of important differentiators which our employees value: Flexibility and convenience: Bridgwater YMCA has always promoted a flexible approach to working from the frontline through to our support centre. The Covid-19 pandemic has further demonstrated how flexibility and convenience are ever more important factors for employees across all employee groups. More job satisfaction: As part of our research we learnt that working for Bridgwater YMCA gave employees a strong sense of family and that employees put a high value on the day-to-day variety of work. This comes through very strongly in our survey results. A great atmosphere: Undoubtedly working across our seNices for children and young people, especially at the frontline, is hard work. However. we also know that it can be great fun. Our aim at Bridgwater YMCA is to make the working environment as fun and friendly as possible whilst ensuring that beneficiaries receive great service. It is clear that as a result of Covid-19 many employees began to reassess what is important to them and their work. In addition, other industries have been able to demonstrate how they now can offer careers that provide some elements of our proposition in a way not seen before, for example through very flexible working arrangements. It will therefore be important to review and refresh our research so that our Staff Offer evolves and remains relevant to current and prospective team members.

Company law and registered social housing legislation requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law. the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources. including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently- observe the methods and principles of the Housing SORP (20181: make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 1021 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements- and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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, the Charities Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered social providers of social housing in England 2022. 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. The board of trustees is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Association's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 13-Dec-24 Approved by the Board of Trustees on .................... and signed on its behalf by- JRFord Chair Page 17 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Independent Auditor's Report to the trustees of Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association (the 'association' or 'Bridgwater YMCA,) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Change in Reserves, the Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the financial statements, including Significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 association's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its 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, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2022. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing {UK} IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the association 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. Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to note 2 in the financial statements, which discloses that the association has breached a debt covenant under its bank loan agreement and is reliant on the lender not taking further action to demand repayment of the debt. As stated in note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the association's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 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 statements is appropriate. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the board with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the trustees, report (incorporating the strategic report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and the trustees, report (incorporating the strategic 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 association and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees, report (incorporating the strategic report). We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 directors, remuneration specified by law are not made: or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. In addition, we have nothing to report in respect of the following matter where the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion- a satisfactory system of control over transactions has not been maintained.

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. Auditorfs 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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charitable company and the sector in which it operates. We obtained an understanding of how the association is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries to management. Where applicable we corroborated these enquiries through our review of the minutes of Board meetings. We assessed the susceptibility of the association's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: o identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud; o understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process; o assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations o performing analytical review procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationship that might indicate a risk of material misstatement due to fraud,. Page 20 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Independent Auditor's Report to the trustees of Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association o performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls. including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. evaluation the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing significant accounting estimates for bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC'S website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-fi/ description-of-the-auditoryoE2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the association's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 137 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the association's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs 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 association and the association's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The registered office is given in the association legal and administrative information on page l of these financial statements. The nature of the association's operations and principal activities are documented within the Report of the Trustees. The association constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 2 Accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018 (SORP}, and with the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2022. The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the association, and rounded to the nearest £. Group accounts not prepared The financial statements contain information about Bridgwater YMCA as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 402 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidation financial statements as its subsidiary undertaking can be excluded from consolidation in Companies Act group accounts under Section 405 of the Act. in this case the option available under section 40512) of the Companies Act 2006 to exclude the wholly owned subsidiary from consolidation on the basis that its inclusion is not material for the purpose of giving a true and fair view. Going concern The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which is based on the assumption that the association will continue to operate into the foreseeable future. In carrying out its assessment as to whether the association is a going concern, the Board is required to consider a period of at least 12 months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Therefore management have prepared income, expenditure and cashflow forecasts for that period and beyond. The year to 31 March 2024 has seen significant improvement of the association's liquidity as it continued to deliver to its business plan. As at 31 March 2024, cash stood at £523,794 (2023- £123,282) and net liabilities improved to £298,742 12023- £385,076). Continued adherence to the plan, along with contractual improvement changes made during the year have resulted in further significant improvements in financial performance during 2024/25 to date. Page 26 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Notes to the financial statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 The association has bank loans with Triodos. As a result of the deficit reported for the prior year-end 31 March 2023, one of the financial covenants to the lender was not complied with. This breach, reported during the year under review, to 31 March 2024, gave the lender the right to demand repayment of the full debt owed. The trustees recognise that until the association has returned to covenant compliance, which they will demonstrate through the release of these 31 March 2024 financial statements, the reliance on the lender not taking up its right to demand repayment of the loans means a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the association's ability to continue as a going concern. It is important to note that the lender has not made any such demand, and, based on correspondence with the lender, adherence to all remaining covenants, time passed and the positive performance in the year 31 March 2024, the trustees and management believe there will be no such demand. The accounting impact of the breach was that for the 31 March 2024 accounts, the full outstanding loan balance is required to be re-classified as a current debt due within one year. In view of the improved performance in 2024, the trustees and management expect that this re-classification will be reversed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Cashflow forecasts and management information show that financial performance has recovered significantly further since 31 March 2024. the cash position will have improved again by the end of 31 March 2025. and is forecast to further improve by 2026. The cashflow forecast shows that the organisation can meet all its obligations under the loan including all bank loan repayments in accordance with the original schedule of repayments. The trustees are confident that the association has worked through the difficult times to return to covenant compliance and in the medium term will continue to rebuild its reserves. They will continue to take the necessary steps to manage the association's financial security. Therefore the trustees believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets (including social housinE properties) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended such as the cost of acquiring land and buildings, developments costs including the labour costs of own employees arising directly for the construction or acquisition of the property, interest charges on loans during the development period and expenditure on improvements. Expenditure on improvements will only be capitalised when it results in incremental future benefits such as increasing rental income, reducing maintenance costs or resulting in a significant extension of the useful economic life of the property. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than properties under construction, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows- Housing properties The association depreciates housing properties by material component on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life of each component. The material components, and their useful economic lives, are as follows: Page 27 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Notes to the financial statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Land Not depreciated 80- 1(Kl years 50- 70years 10- 30years Main Fabric Roof structure and Covering Windows and External Doors Gas boilers/ fires Kitchen Over 15 years Over 20 years Over 30 years Over 30 years Over 40 years Bathroom / Wcs Mechanical Systems Electrics Housing properties are assessed annually for impairment indicators. Where indicators are identified an assessment for impairment is undertaken comparing the scheme's carrying amount to its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of a scheme is deemed to exceed its recoverable amount, the scheme is written down to its recoverable amount. The resulting impairment loss is recognised as operating expenditure. Where a scheme is currently deemed not to be providing Se￿iCe potential to the association. its recoverable amount is its fair value less costs to sell. Other fixed assets Freehold and leasehold land Not depreciated 15- 100 years straight line 15- 100 years straight line 15% reducing balance and 4- 20 years straight line 15Yo reducing balance and 4- 10 years straight line No depreciation is applied to development costs as these reflect assets in the course of construction which had not been brought into use at the year end date. Freehold buildings Leasehold buildings Furniture and equipment Motor vehicles Intangible fixed assets- Goodwill Goodwill arising on business combinations is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. The period chosen for writing off goodwill is 10 years which is the maximum permitted by FRS 102. The reason for choosing this period is it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the useful life of the goodwill however the association feels that the maximum possible period should be applied on the basis of the period over which the nursery purchased has been trading and built up a reputation is greater than 10 years at 17 years. Provision is made for any impairment.

Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are capitalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial recognition. Provision is made for any impairment. Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: Intellectual property IT system Over 10 years Over 5 years Investments Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. Financial instruments The association only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the association and their measurement basis are as follows: Financial assets - Trade debtors, accrued income and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 13. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash - Is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. Financial liabilities - Trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in notes 14 and 15. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. Amounts due to the charity's wholly owned subsidiary are held at transaction value less any impairment. Housing loans. bank loans and other loans, as detailed in notes 14, 15 and 16 are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs and subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Stock Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Page 29 Docusign Envelope ID.. 5CA001C2-D417480&B931>E49E2B4654B6 Bridgwater Young Men's Christian Association Notes to the financial statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the association has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an oufflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. Capital grants can be recycled under certain condition, if a property is sold, or if another relevant event takes place. Recycled grants can be used for projects approved by the Homes England and they are credited to the Recycled Capital Grant Fund within liabilities. In certain circumstances, such as the sale of housing properties, capital grants may be repayable, and, in that event, is subordinated to the repayment of other loans by agreement with the Homes England. It is accounted for as soon as the liability arises within creditors: amounts falling due within one year. When any grant to be recycled or repaid is less than the grant relating to the disposal, the difference is treated as abated grant. Abated capital grants are treated as a component of the surplus or deficit on disposal. Operating lease commitments Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Taxation The association is an exempt charity within the meaning 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 definition of a charity for UK corporation tax purposes. VAT The activities of the association are partially exempt from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT which can be attributed to a capital item or operating expenditure is added to the cost of the capital item of expenses were practicable and material. Turnoverp government grants and other income All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: Turnover represents rental and service charges income receivable in the year net of rent and service charge losses from voids, revenue grants from the government (local authorities) and the Homes England and other income. Government grants from various sources including the Homes England and Local Authorities are received in respect of purchasing fixed assets. These grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. The assets are accounted for using the cost model and the government grant is accounted for using the accruals model. The difference between the fair value of the asset and the consideration is recognised as a liability and amortised over the useful economic life of the asset. This amortisation is recognised within turnover. Where disposal of government donated assets are required to be recycled, a liability is included to recognise this obligation.

Grants are recognised in the same period as the related expenditure provided the conditions for receipt have been satisfied and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. Other income streams are recognised when the association 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 will be received. More detail on specific elements of other income streams are provided below- For donations to be recognised the association 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 association and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the principles of the Charities SORP {FRS 102) as the association is a charity, although the association does not need to follow the Charities SORP as the Housing SORP takes precedence. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the association being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the association however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed as a note. Income from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the association is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Expenditure All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it Is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Central costs are apportioned amongst the various activities on a percentage basis of expenditure per category.

Contributions are expensed as they become payable. YMCA participated in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for employees of YMCAS in England, Scotland and Wales, which was closed to new members and accruals on 30 April 2007. Due to insufficient information, the plan's actuary has advised that it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities relating to YMCA. As described in note 18 Bridgwater YMCA has a contractual obligation to make pension deficit payments of £32,172 pa over the period to April 202712023- £31,906 pa to April 2029}, accordingly this is shown as a liability in these accounts. In addition, Bridgwater YMCA is required to contribute £7,586 pa 12023- £7,174 pal to the operating expenses of the Pension Plan and these costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as made. Redundancy and termination payments Redundancy and termination costs are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Restricted reserve Restricted reserves are those reseNes which are only expendable in accordance with the wishes of the funder or regulatory body. Restricted reseNes include funds raised in response to a specific appeal. Revenue and expenditure cannot be directly set against restricted reserves but is taken through the statement of comprehensive income and then a transfer to restricted reserves is made as appropriate. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities include obligations under defined benefit pension schemes (note 18) and the split of useful economic lives of components of social housing properties (note 11). There also remains uncertainty relating to the going concern assessment as described above.

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 held before and after retirement of 2.59% and 1.09% respectively, the increase in pensions in payment of 2.99¥0 (for RPI capped at 5% p.a.), and the average life expectancy from normal retirement age (of 65) for a current male pensioner of 22.0 years, female 24.4 years, and 23.7 years for a male pensioner, female 26.1 years, retiring in 20 years, time. The result of the valuation showed that the actuarial value of the assets was £103.2m, which represented 92Yo of the benefits 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 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. Bridgwater YMCA has been advised that it will need to make monthly deficit contributions of £2,139 from l May 2023. This amount is based on the current actuarial assumptions las outlined above) and may vary in the future as a result of actual performance of the Pension Plan.

This charge relates to grant funding of £3.972 million received in previous years which could become repayable in certain circumstances, particularly if the association were to sell or significantly change the use of the grant-funded building. The trustees consider the likelihood of such circumstances occurring to be remote. This contingent liability is secured against the George Williams Centre, which is included as a freehold property in note 11 of the financial statements. The Association receives capital grants from Homes England and other funders, which is used to fund the acquisition and development of properties and their components. In certain circumstances upon disposal of grant funded properties the association is required to repay this grant or recycle it by crediting a Recycled Capital Grant Fund. At 31 March 2024, the Association has not disposed of any such components and plans to hold in perpetuity. It is therefore unlikely any such future disposal will take place, no provision has been recognised in these financial statements. 21 Share capital The Association is a company limited by guarantee and as such has no issued share capital.
