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).
