Section D
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Achievements and performance
Increased Revenue: Achieved an increase in revenue compared to the
previous year, by successfully increasing opening hours from 3 days pe
week to 5 days per weeks as well as obtaining grant funding.
Expanded Outreach: Reaching out to more individuals in need within
the community, serving a larger demographic and providing essential
support to those who may require it. Increase in open hours from 3pm
until 5pm enables the café to provide a social space for young people
and families after school.
Volunteer Engagement: Recruiting and retaining a dedicated team of
volunteers who contribute their time and efforts towards running the cafe
and youth services smoothly and efficiently. Recruiting more younger
volunteers by opening after school. Recruiting volunteers for specific
events such as Games club and Toddler Tuesdays
Menu Diversification: Introducing new menu items that cater to various
dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility
for all users. Introducing special after school deals to ensure we are
affordable as well as sustainable.
Partnerships and Collaborations: Establishing partnerships with
organisations and food suppliers to reduce costs, increase donations,
and expand the cafe's reach through collaborative events or promotions.
Working with local schools to encourage volunteering and work
experience as well as promotion of a safe after school space for children
transitioning from primary to secondary.
Community Events: Hosting successful community events such as quiz
nights, craft events, and educational workshops that not only raise
awareness about the cafe's cause but also foster a sense of community
engagement and participation. Hiring the space to community groups at a
reasonable cost such as Repair Café, community fitness class and
tabletop gaming group.
Long-Term Sustainability: Developing strategies and plans for the
cafe's long-term sustainability, including financial stability, volunteer
succession planning, and ongoing community support initiatives.
These achievements can help demonstrate the cafe's positive impact on
the community and serve as a roadmap for future growth and
development.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** ~~En~~ **Report to the trustees/ members of Newport Youth Café Project** ~~a~~ **On accounts for the** 31[st] March 2025 **Charity no period ended (if any)[1076691]** ~~eeee ee~~ **Set out on pages** ~~PO~~ **Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The **responsibilities of** charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section **trustees and examiner** 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

**Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the **examiner’s statement** Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

## **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention **examiner's statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

   - have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

**Date:** July 22nd, 2025 **Signed:** ~~—~~ **Name:** John Henry ~~Cn~~ **Relevant professional** ICAEW **qualification(s) or body** ~~|~~ **Address:** Carreg Lwyd, Cefn Bychan Road, Pantymwyn, Flintshire, CH7 5EW ~~Cn~~
