Cumbria Youth Alliance

for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Report of the Trustees

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Aims

The aim of the charity is "to ensure young people in Cumbria can reach their full potential" and to enable this we deliver a range of needs led programmes designed so that young people can make a successful transition into adulthood. We have in place operational plans for all projects and a strategic plan for the organisation and we continue to review this to take account of the emerging needs of children, young people, and families here in Cumbria.

Our aims and objectives are as follows:

The aim of the charity is "to ensure young people in Cumbria can reach their full potential" and so we are working with many partners as the lead voice for youth organisations in Cumbria to enable them and us to deliver a range of needs led programmes designed so that young people can make a successful transition into adulthood. We have in place operational plans for all projects and a strategic plan for the organisation, and we continue to review this to take account of the emerging needs of children, young people and families here in Cumbria.

Our focus is supporting the physical, mental health and wellbeing, attainment, and emotional development of young people across the county ensuring that young people can make a successful transition into adulthood. And, supporting, engaging, and working in partnership with the infrastructure of Youth Organisations throughout Cumbria as the lead voice for them. The portfolio is informed by the needs of young people here in Cumbria and by the staff and volunteers working in the agencies supporting young people in Cumbria. Both Young People and Third Sector Agencies feed into our strategic planning process. There has been an emphasis on working with young people from the more deprived communities in West Cumbria, which we are addressing to develop throughout Cumbria, where our work has the potential to make the greatest impact. Wherever possible we work in partnership with other agencies both statutory and third sector thus avoiding duplication and ensuring best use of physical, financial, and human resources. This enables us to offer value for money for our funders and other supporters.

90% of our portfolio developed over a number of years to becoming direct delivery with young people reaching over 2000 young people per annum. In addition, through our partnership working we reach a further 2500 young people per annum through programmes such as the Friday Night Youth Clubs and Emotional Resilience Collaboration project. This is being addressed and is a critical element of change necessary to align Cumbria Youth Alliance as the lead organisation representing youth organisations throughout Cumbria. Our aim is to dramatically reduce direct delivery with a view that CYA will only deliver where we are the most appropriate organisation to do so, with the quality staff to deliver the best programme, or where there are currently gaps in delivery provision.

We have secured funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, The Transforming West Cumbria Bedrock Awards and await further funding to implement The Theory of Change, to develop the staffing Infrastructure and capacity of the organisation to include scalability throughout Cumbria.

10% of our portfolio was provision of capacity building for organisations working with children, young people, and families and strategic representation of the sector at a range of key strategic tables and providing one to one support, advice, guidance and training to over 280 agencies all working with children young people and families. The aim is to dramatically increase this percentage to ensure we achieve our objectives.

Vision / Mission Statement and Priorities

Vision: Every young person in Cumbria can achieve their full potential

An important prerequisite for stakeholders and fund-raising activities is an organisational mission statement. The Board have endorsed the following statement:

Report of the Trustees

2.3 Strategic priorities

  1. Championing social value for young people in Cumbria

  2. Building capacity of the young people's sector in Cumbria

  3. Young people have the confidence and skills to make successful transition to adulthood

  4. Be the strategic voice of young people's services in Cumbria working in partnership with others

  5. Young people are active participants in the design, delivery, and evaluation of their services

  6. Ensure all partners and CYA when applicable, deliver quality projects with measurable outcomes

  7. Have systems and Infrastructures in place to enable, capture, disseminate, advocate, and demonstrate positive impact, to ensure sustainability and development for all partners in order to benefit young people in Cumbria

All business operational activities need to be 'geared' to deliver one or more of the above priorities We remain committed to the implementation of our Equality and Diversity Policy and Procedures and during the year our policy was reviewed by the trustees.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

Charitable Activities

It has been another exciting but challenging year - austerity has widened the gap between young people from the various communities and we have seen a huge rise in young people who present with poor emotional resilience and poor mental health which impacts upon their journey towards adulthood. This has been further exacerbated by the inequalities that have resulted from the Covid 19 pandemic and affected attainment, jobs and resulted in many more young people impacted by food poverty. The gap continues to widen for those who have and those who have not, but we have also seen the emergence of "newly poor" families, newly vulnerable Young People with many ranging issues here in Cumbria.

We continue to slowly grow our income streams and are focusing on infrastructure and drawing in programme lead funding to work with best placed local delivery partners to execute, utilising their specialism whilst connecting with others to ensure there are no duplications or conflicts and the young people are receiving the best possible service. This has however required more time from a strategic perspective to build stronger partnership, align, and be a strong voice for the third sector and youth providers, to dedicate more time to fundraising than in previous years. Despite our increase in turnover, we have managed to maintain our spending levels on organisational costs such as wages and overheads to a similar level to previous years. We have put in place paper based and electronic systems that allow us to monitor and evaluate each of our projects and demonstrate impact to our funders and importantly to show the positive impact to the Young People through distance travelled, with an understanding that we need to consider incorporating delivery organisations data collectively to demonstrate progress and areas for development. Reflecting the need for CYA to represent the third sector and produce impact data to show the huge value the third sector youth organisations of Cumbria can have on the lives of young people.

Outcomes Star is embedded with our practice and we can clearly demonstrate the difference our services have upon the lives of the young people we support There is an increasing need to demonstrate the impact of our work upon individual young people - we believe this has had an impact on our funding making us more attractive to a wider range of funders as we can clearly show what impact our work has upon the lives of the participants. However, due to the continued cost to use Outcome Star for our organisation and member organisations, we are looking at alternatives which will link to our new MIS.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

We continue to be very proud of our achievements in 20/21 where we had outstanding results with young people despite the pandemic.

4801 young people were supported in Cumbria in the year 20/21. 3113 of these young people received emotional & wellbeing support in a very difficult time for everyone throughout the Pandemic. 60% of the young people who were unemployed when they joined us went into sustainable work/ further education or volunteering. 98% of our young people deemed at risk of school dropout or exclusion have been retained in education and achieved accredited outcomes. Over 100 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds have taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. We over- achieved on our Cumbria County Council contract supporting other agencies with over 100% achievement record and retain the contract to deliver support to other agencies working with children, young people, and families. 305 staff members and volunteers in Cumbria who work with Children, Young People & Families also accessed our accredited courses to build capacity in the Cumbrian workforce.

As we move into 21/22, we continue to look at the best way of income generation to ensure sustainability for the services and for the organisation.

Financial review

Reserves Policy

Our reserve policy as of 31st March 2021 is £45,000 which is a figure set by the Trustees at our February 2020 board meeting to reflect our requirements and liabilities internally and externally, this was reviewed by the board in 2021 and is to remain the same.

Future plans

Despite austerity and the extremely difficult external funding environment our income has remained similar to the previous financial year at £750,226 from the previous year £755,774. Our hope is to sustain the organisation

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

We held our AGM on Tuesday the 30th March 2021 and unanimously re-elected our chair Mr Mark Hurley and elected Mrs Yvonne Lambert was appointed as Vice Chair. All other trustees including those due to stand down by rotation were re-elected to the Board to serve until our next AGM. There were still some vacancies and the membership unanimously delegated the role of co-option of new trustees to the existing board to fill well identified skills shortages.

We end the year with adequate unrestricted and restricted resources to go forward into 21/22. We end the year with more unrestricted resources than required by our reserves policy and this will help us rise to the challenges post Covid 19.

for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Organisational Structure

Our Chief Officer has the delegated power to make day to day decisions on behalf of the organisation and communicates these decisions in the form of weekly meetings with the Chair of Trustees, regular meetings with Trustees and reports to the Trustees at Board Meetings. New work is informed by the needs of the young people and the wider third sector and information is gathered throughout the life of a project as part of our continuous improvement programmes. We pride ourselves on delivering quality programmes that meet the needs of the young people and meet the expectations of our funders and supporters. Each project has its own project manager who takes day to day responsibility for their projects and each staff member receives monthly supervision from their respective Line Manager and annual appraisals. Each project manager completes timely reports as required and these are reviewed and reported to the Board of Trustees highlighting both outstanding performance and also areas of poor performance and noncompliance. Action plans are then devised in conjunction with the Chief Officer to address any outstanding issues. All funding applications are signed off by the Chief Officer prior to submission and a database of applications undertaken is maintained and shared with the trustees at every board meeting. All staff with direct delivery to young people have been trained and have implemented the Outcomes Star assessment within their programmes.

In future we are looking to move away from the current model of 90% delivery and 10% strategic. Cumbria Youth Alliance was set up in 1997 to be the lead agency for organisations working with young people in Cumbria. The purpose was to bring agencies together to jointly plan and deliver high quality services across Cumbria and ensure youth work has a strong voice. Our aim is to become at least 60% strategic and 40% delivery over the next 5yrs. To support and recognise the need to strengthen this Infrastructure, provide a pathway for a professional Youth Work profession, to ensure scalability throughout the whole of Cumbria and most certainly by working together, provide the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people of Cumbria with the high-quality services and resources they need to enable them to reach their full potential.

The platforms are already emerging through the Youth Futures Foundation funding within excess of £180,000 until May 2022, with its systems approach and a Management Information System which we would like to develop to include all our projects, in order to clearly demonstrate impact and promote Nationally the essential role of youth sector organisations. Alongside this is our recent National Lottery Community Fund award of £375,000 over 5yrs to restructure, support and improve collaboration and connectivity with all organisations throughout Cumbria working with young people, and so improve the Infrastructure which will be vital in the years ahead, with increased numbers of vulnerable young people with new and emerging complexities. We know there are gaps in provision. We do need to engage with long term partners and sustainable sources of funding, but we want to do that in collaboration and most certainly not in conflict with the many essential local and countywide specialist organisations who also provide essential services to the young people of Cumbria.

GDPR: staff training and systems change have occurred to allow us to comply with the new GDPR requirements on how we store and share our information and one trustee has taken a lead on supporting the organisation to implement these changes.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Induction and training of new trustees

Trustees are inducted into the work of Cumbria Youth Alliance as soon as possible after their recruitment and we have further developed our Trustee handbook and induction programme to take account of the changing economic climate and the new skills required to oversee the management of the organisation and ensure we meet the expectations of our various funders and partner organisations.

All trustees undertake a full DBS check prior to beginning work with us. Subgroups/action teams can be set up if or when other issues arise that require intervention such as recruitment or redundancy etc During the year we have had a number of training and planning sessions for the trustees and staff to ensure we remain sustainable and fit for purpose. Different staff members are also invited to board meetings to bring Trustees up to date with their projects and progress towards the achievement of both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. This ensures positive communication between the staff and the trustee board enables the Trustees to increase their knowledge about our day-to-day activities.

Each trustee in addition to receiving the Trustee Handbook is given up to date documents relating to Good Governance financial management as issued by NCVO and the Charity Commission. In addition to supporting our own Trustee Board we also support a number of smaller organisations on governance improvement and compliance. The Board continues to recognise the links between Good Governance and good organisational performance and increased sustainability. They remain committed to achieving Good Governance standards as laid down by the Charities Commission and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

We have continued to work to the Platinum Standard laid out in Simple Quality Protects and work to section 11 requirements of the local safeguarding board for Cumbria

Risk Management

We end the year with more unrestricted resources than required by our reserves policy and this will help us rise to the challenges post Covid 19.
