ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
[charity][in][2023][and][the][measures][taken][to][over-] The Executive Committee was happy with the performance of[the] come the ongoing legacy challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The proven appeal of the weekly youth sessions continued to deliver good and tangible results for our young people. The Youth Workers and volunteers continue to see Improvements In confidence and ambition, as well as acauisition of new skills. AS new members were few in late 2022 and early 2023 owing to the financial situation of families focally the Trustees then abolishec subscriptions, and this led to new members arriving at the Club. They found a safe haven, and parents commented on the happy and relaxed atmosphere, as well as the facilities and training on offer. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity continues to meet its stated objective and provide public benefit in the provision of activities which improve the physical, mental, and spiritual development of young people, especially those who are disadvantaged.
Total income for 2023 was £37,697. Expenditure for 2023 was £43,321. The Trustees’ policy is to hold 25% of the average expenditure of the last three financial years as reserves going forward. The Trustees are confident the level of unrestricted reserves held at the end of 2023, whilst marginally lower than the target amount, does not represent 4 material risk to the operation of the charity.

Planned works include: » Fence to screen the outside space (security) - to be completed » Repairs to damaged glazing following an attempted break in - still to be finalized » New adult toilet installed - bathroom facilities for leaders to be upgraded « External drainage improvements - continuing » Further tree and shrub removal, and vegetable beds to be created to engage young people in growing their own food - ongoing project awaiting full funding, This will provide produce for the Supper Club- and to take home where families are in especial need.

My examination was carried out on the request of the trustees.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. it also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from thé trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, | do not express full ordered opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me any reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements to (a) keep accounting records, and (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met;
Or
- To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached;
Or
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe That in any material respect the accounting rules offthe organisation have not been met.
