The[Launceston] Youth Partnership Limited for theReport Year Endedof the Trustees 31st May 2025

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 31st May 2025, 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 Launceston Youth Partnership Limited, known as The Orchard Centre, is a public benefit entity. The Orchard Centre and the Charity have greatly expanded their support to the local youth and wider community. Hosting of many activities and groups that benefit and support the community take place regularly. Offices remain rented to Charities to generate income although the need to increase this to continue to improve the premises after years of neglect by previous Trustees, has led to offering previously empty office space to small businesses seeking a rent that allows them to continue or start trading, but most importantly, be part of what is now seen as a thriving charity known as The Orchard Business Community’.

We have read and followed the Charity Commission Link - Being a Trustee and our Secretary forwards all necessary information to the Trustees. We encourage a variety of organisations to use the premises either free or at a greatly discounted rate if they are a not for profit organisation and provide a service for the benefit of the community. Volunteering includes the time from all trustees in the running of the charity, we have no paid staff. Gardening is undertaken by a volunteer on a regular basis as is maintenance unless needing a qualified contractor. This support from the community and businesses in our early years has enabled us to bring the charity to the attention of the town with many complimentary comments for the improving standard of the premises and the services we offer to the community. They feel welcome, appreciated, and supported by us.

Public benefit

The trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We continued to run a youth group specifically for year 6 pupils to assist their integration into College. Many of the youngsters come from small village schools where the total number of pupils is equal to the new class they will transition into. Our Chairman and Vice Chairman, organise and run these sessions and other volunteers along with local organisations often support us to enable the charity to have a greater understanding of the needs of the youth community. These needs are changing as technology plays an important part in their lives and older teenagers merely wish to have a safe warm space to meet and socialise rather than the more traditional games/crafts etc. Our youth club remains a social media free zone and the youngsters and their parents are happy with this escape from pressure to respond to messages. The attendance is less than last year as many schools run wrap around care. Launceston Street Pastors have free use on Saturday evening to oversee the safety of residents and users of the town and disperse potential incidents. They work with the Police and town CCTV.

The Memory Café support group has become a general carers support group once a week. The Charity saw a great need for support for the carers and families and the group has evolved into welcoming carers from all aspects of life. License Holders are an integral part of The Orchard Centre and we invited them all to our AGM with a buffet after. An enjoyable opportunity for businesses and trustees to meet. ManDown still meet fortnightly with A home Ed Group weekly, National Autistic Society and a new Rummikub group has also become a support group for carers.

The Charity is still driven by its Chairmans enthusiasm and time commitment, which is supported by all Trustees. Heavily involved in wider opportunities within the Town to improve things for the wider community. The charity still works closely with the Town Council, Comwall Council and The Chamber of Commerce as the ‘Third Sector Organisation’ as this is often required for Government Grants and funding opportunities. This has a great benefit to all parties as sharing of ideas and being involved in plans to regenerate the town emerge. Our combined working to gain funding fora new play park resulted in a successful £100,000 grant and the work starts in September 2025. Knowing the town, its community, town council and how it can thrive, allowed us to look at developing a Grant Policy called Community Support Fund last year, which has continued to provide grants to organisations or individuals who are offering opportunities to the town or gain access to activities that financial hardship has prevented them from taking part in previously. We have also supported groups with and total of just under £10,000 this year. They range from sports clubs, carnival, and Launceston Connect working towards a rail link to the town. This has been a very successful way of supporting locat initiatives; however the trustees will focus their support on reaching larger numbers of the community instead of individual small grants. We will work with the Town Council continuing to manage the Community Hub Funding with the Library Manager and help create events that can be attended by larger numbers covering all age groups.

The Charity continues to improve and maintain the building and is very aware of rising consumable costs as well as utility bills. We continue to seek and respond to the needs of the tawn and working closely with them, having the resources, allows us to respond in appropriate ways.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Charity to retain unrestricted reserves, which have not been designated for a specific use, of approximately £10,000 - £20,000 which should cover between three and six month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained in previous years and the level is rising. We have opened a savings account to enable us to ring fence sufficient funds for these expenses and other major items that may be required

At 31st May 2025, the Charity had unrestricted funds of £202,692. Of these, unrestricted free reserves of £4,563 were held. The free reserves represent items readily convertible into cash. The Charity has designated funds of £31,000 which have been ring fenced for major repairs such as resurfacing the carpark and general redecoration. The designated funds are being held in the savings account.
