## THE BIRKENHEAD YOUTH CLUB 

The Directors present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## GOVERNING DOCUMENT 

The Birkenhead Youth Club is a company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital, and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. 

## RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Trustees have a programme of risk assessment and systems that are in place to ensure that risks are regularly reviewed and managed. All systems are in place to prevent unauthorised access to children and to property and for the protection of children, staff and volunteers from harm or abuse. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

The past 18 months the Club was repeatedly closed due to Covid restrictions. When the Club was forced to be closed it could only provide limited support for its members but as soon as allowed the club quickly resumed activities to the maximum level. Attendance often ran at double pre-Covid levels as the area’s young people relished being able to join in structured activities. It was obvious that both the physical and mental health of the club’s members had suffered during the lockdowns though excellent pastoral care from the staff and volunteers has Ied to a significant improvement. Football and trampolining are still the most popular activities that coexist with the wide range of other activities that take place from the club e.g. holiday club, dance, trips out. 

During the year we took advantage of the lockdowns to continue the refurbishment of the Club’s buildings by redecorating the main sports hall and communal areas. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW (including reserves policy) 

income for the year amounted to £138,939 (2019 £157,451) 

Net surplus / (expenditure) for the year was £7,067 (2019 (£9,087)). 

There is no formal reserves policy though the Directors aim to keep sufficient cash reserves to maintain itself for several months. 

Unrestricted reserves at year end of £48,679 (2019 £41,612). 

During the year there was a drop in day to day income from members fees, facility hire and the coffee bar which was more than offset by government support for the leisure sector and 

3 



a contribution of £20k from the Steve Morgan Foundation. The prior year revenue included £40k of donations towards the refurbishment of the club. 

The directors are confident that there are sufficient financial resources to cover the next 12 months, while at the same time every endeavour will be made to provide as many services and activities as possible to support the Club’s members. 

## DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES 

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
