THE BIRKENHEAD YOUTH CLUB The Directors present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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. ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE The Birkenhead Youth Club had a successful year in achieving its charitable objectives. It has had a busy year providing plenty of activities for our members with football still being the principal activity. The cost of living crisis has had a continuing impact on the local community and the holiday clubs run with Government HAF funding alongside additional donations have been a standout success in terms of number of attendees, activities provided and trip outs. They have given our members experiences they would never normally have been able to enjoy which also has the added benefit of supporting their families, by gainfully occupying and feeding their children during the holidays. The Club also provides a special place for the community to celebrate special events, in particular our annual Halloween and Christmas parties. FINANCIAL REVIEW (including reserves policy) Income for the year amounted to £176,918 (2023 £169,220) Net surplus / (expenditure) for the year was £20,500 {2023 £(5,101)). 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 £22,850 (2023 £58,881).
During the year the Youth Club invested £55,000 of the unrestricted resenies into fitting solar panels onto the Club's roof. Despite initial teething problems the investment will start paying itself back through reduced electricity charges over the coming year5. 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 thern 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. Thi5 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).
