Significant reductions in key funding areas. The YSS project risk dashboard forms an integral part of the risk register
and 15 reviewed at each Trustees, meeting. Business development work continues to take a high priority within the
organisation, not only to seek additional funding in order to develop and enhance our current work but to secure
continuation funding or to limit further potential cuts to current funding.
A serious safeguarding incident resulting in harm to a child, young person or vulnerable adult and the subsequent

Chairfs Review
This past year has been both a challenging and transformative one for YSS. As we reflect on our impact, it is clear that the
increasing pressures on individuals and families due to the cost-of-living crisis have deepened the demand for our services.
More people than ever are turning to us for support, and this underscores the vital role we play in our community.
The economic strain has widened gaps in public services, leaving the third sector to shoulder much of the responsibility for
filling those voids. At YSS, we have stepped up to meet these growing needs, but we are acutely aware of the challenges
we face in doing so. Decreasing funding streams and increasing operational costs threaten the sustainability of the critical
work we deliver. Yet, we remain committed to finding innovative solutions and to fostering collaborations to ensure that
no one is left behind.
Despite these obstacles, our achievements thi5 year have been significant. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our
staff, volunteers, and partners, we have continued to provide targeted, life-changing support to those in greatest need.
Whether it is helping people navigate financial hardship, offering mental health support, or empowering individuals to
regain control over their lives, YSS has proven its resilience and adaptability-
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and expertise provided by my fellow trustees and the
strength and energy of our senior management and leadership team whose exceptional leadership and unwavering
commitment has been instrumental in ensuring that we remain focused on our mission as the landscape of need and
support evolves. Their ability to adapt to the many challenges we face and to inspire those around them has been central
to our continued progress.
Looking ahead, we know that sustaining our impact will require not only robust financial planning but also a collective
commitment from our community, stakeholders. and supporters. l am proud of the progress we've made and deeply
grateful to everyone who contributes to our mission. Together, we are stronger, and together. we will continue to
transform lives.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of YSS Limited (the 'charitable company'l for the year ended 31 March 2024
which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related
notes, including a summary of significant accountin8 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 Finonciol Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Irelond. (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources, including 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 and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We condutted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRCS Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe thatthe audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditinB the financial ststements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomied, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that,
individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitys ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at
least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilitie5 and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sertions
of this report.

auditor's report thereon. The trustee5 are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our
opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing50, considerwhether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the financial 5tatement5 or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially mi5Stated. If we identify such material incons1Stencie5 or apparent material misststements, we are
required to determine whether this gtves 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
reportthatfart.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

the information given in the trustees, report, which includes the directors, report prepared for the purposes of
company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
ststements,. and
the trustees, 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 charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of
the audit, we have not identified material misststements in the trustees, 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 trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit,. or
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies, regime
and take advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the Trustees, report and from the
requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the direttof5 of the charity
for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for bein8 satisfied that
they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the trltstees determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitys ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matter5 related to going concem 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 altemative but to
do 50.
Auditor's responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charitie5 Art 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and
relevant regulations made or havin8 effect thereunder.
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 detett 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 user5 taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31st March 2024
Independent Auditors, Report to the Members of YSS Limited - continued
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 extent
to which our procedures are capable of detectinB irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the company, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
including those that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006,
and the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statement5. Audit procedure5
performed included discussions with management, review of board meeting minutes, testing of journals, desi8nin8 and
performing audit procedures and challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in relation to accounting
estimates.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances
of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the
financial ststements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at.. htt

performance it is treated as deferred income and included within creditors.

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.
