TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements of the group and charity for the year ended 30th September 2022, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) '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 (FRS102) (effective 1st January 2019).

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 31[st] January 2002 and registered as a charity in England and Wales on 11[th] February 2002. The organisation was also registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator on 8[th] October 2012. The company was incorporated under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of the Board of Trustees

Trustees are usually appointed for a period of three years. The number of trustees closest to one third retire by strict rotation and, being eligible, may offer themselves for re-election at the next meeting of the board of trustees. Care is taken to ensure that the board of trustees includes experience in financial, legal and other relevant fields.

The trustees who served during the year were as follows:

Paul Sherrill Sundeep Salins Liam McCormick Paul Woodman (Chairman) Brooke Johnston Edwin Backer (appointed September 2022)

Induction and Training of Trustees

New trustees are given an introduction to the work of the charity by the chairman of the trustees and the executive team. Trustees are kept informed through regular internal reports (including financial reports) and samples of printed material. All trustees are encouraged to visit the activities of the charity as well as attend events that the charity organises. On appointment trustees are informed of their obligations in law as a trustee of a charity, and are encouraged to acquaint themselves with the publications and guidance available from the Charity Commission.

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

Organisational Structure

The board of trustees meet at least twice a year and oversee finances, the present work and the future development of the charity. They have regard for the advice of the executive team, to whom the management of the work of the charity and the day-to-day operational decisions have been delegated. The remuneration of the executive team is approved by the trustees and is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The trustees benchmark the executive team pay against pay levels in other charities of a similar size and activity to ensure that the remuneration set is fair and appropriate. The remuneration of all other staff is approved by the executive team within annual parameters set by the trustees. The executive team withdraw from any discussion of their own terms of service.

The trustees have reviewed the Charity Governance Code, published in 2017 by the external Good Governance Steering Group body. The Code centres around the principles of organisational purpose; leadership; integrity; decision-making, risk and control; board effectiveness; diversity; openness and accountability. The trustees are encouraged that the Code affirms many governance principles that already underpin the way Young Life International operates, and the principles of the Code form the basis of ongoing governance development within Young Life International.

Risk Management

The Trustees recognise that they are ultimately responsible for risk management and the effectiveness of the internal control processes of Young Life International. The major risks to which Young Life International is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, are reviewed regularly, and we are continuously improving our systems and procedures to manage them. The Board of Trustees has considered and approved the risk appetite and risk management framework of Young Life International. It has charged the executive team with the task of ensuring that internal controls and the exposure to risk is reviewed on a regular basis, who are supported by professional advisers as appropriate.

The systems and procedures of Young Life International are designed to inform and manage risk and to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss. Senior management ensure that the culture and process of risk management are appropriately embedded across the organisation through the effective implementation of policies and processes. Risk registers have been developed at corporate and functional levels to inform the approaches of mitigating our strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks.

Risk reviews are conducted regularly, and the trustees consider that there are no major risks to the charity’s continued operations in the foreseeable future. Camping and service projects are major costs, but the bulk of camping fees come from teenagers taking part which minimises the financial risk. Donations are a substantial part of the charity’s income. These are primarily from a wide range of small donors making regular donations which minimises the risk of a sudden drop in income. The charity has completed a comprehensive review of its policies and procedures and will update them periodically.

Objectives and Activities

The objects, for which the Charity is established, as stated in its Memorandum of Association, are the advancement of Christianity among children and young people by the promotion of an evangelistic Christian testimony in the United Kingdom. The Charity works with young people, typically aged between eleven and eighteen, across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Young Life International engages with young people across the UK to provide hope, meaning and purpose. Through “contact work” (community detached work), regular youth clubs, summer camps and overseas mission trips, we draw alongside young people relationally, earn the right to be heard, and share the transforming message of Jesus with them. However they choose to respond, we walk alongside them through the ups and downs of teenage life in modern Britain, whether that's in paramilitary communities in Northern Ireland, working with teenage mums in Dundee or children of High Net Worth families in expat communities on the outskirts of London.

We provide stable pastoral and spiritual support for teenagers as they move through adolescence, and help them face issues such as mental health, bullying, the dangers of social media, challenging family situations, alcohol, drugs, teenage pregnancy, racism and youth crime. We find that all the young people we serve have a deep longing for caring adults who take a genuine interest in their needs. We work closely with local churches and help young people who find faith through our ministry to get plugged into local worshipping congregations that can help them develop along their Christian journey.

Trustees, along with the executive team, have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitable aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Achievements and Performance

Whilst Covid-19 restrictions have varied widely over this past year, our commitment to meaningfully engaging with young people, whatever their circumstances, has been constant. We have found that the realities of the Covid-19 Pandemic have exacerbated the needs that young people already have - to belong, to be heard, to find hope. The challenges that young people have faced throughout this period of societal instability has stoked our hunger to serve even more young people as restrictions allow. As Government health restrictions have varied, our approach to enabling ministry has centred around careful risk assessment, clear communication, and creative solutions.

When young people have been at greatest risk of surrendering their life or their dignity, we have been there to help them survive, laugh, and flourish. We see every day how it is all too easy to search for fulfilment in the wrong places. Reports made to our child protection team of external safeguarding issues involving Young Life teenagers have grown 17% year-on-year over the last five years, with suicide, self-harm and social media related cases making up over one third of our child protection caseload. As cases start to pick up again now that we are interacting with young people increasingly in-person, we fully meeting or exceeding historic levels of demand over the coming years.

For the first time since the start of the Pandemic, we delivered a full camping programme this summer. We ran 9 day camps in local communities across the UK, and 6 residential camps at Cairn Brae, the site leased by YLIM, a subsidiary of Young Life International. Across the season, we served 108 campers from London, 146 from England (outside of London), 286 from Scotland and 315 from Northern Ireland. In addition, we ran camps for young people from the wider Young Life Europe Division, including for 71 campers from the Republic of Ireland, and 32 from continental Europe.

The strength of our ministry depends on the strength of our volunteers. In February, we ran a hugely successful in-person training conference for 163 of the adults who serve young people or are otherwise connected to the ministry of Young Life International throughout the UK. Through Biblical teaching, prayer sessions, and lots of fun, the event empowered the Charity’s grassroots volunteer leaders and local committee members with purpose, vision, and encouragement.

We continue to engage the services of a variety of professionals to assist in the development of legal and administrative policies and procedures. Over the course of the year, several key operational and IT systems and procedures have been improved.

Growth Performance

We have already started building momentum across most areas of ministry, making the most of the opportunities presented through the easing of Covid-19 restrictions over the course of the year.

Trustees’ Annual Report

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

Financial Review

In the twenty-first period of operation the charity received funds of £2,050,992 (2021: £2,313,933) of which £1,569,612 (2021: £1,847,202) was raised as voluntary income. Expenditure in the twelve-month period was £2,387,972 (2021: £1,968,155). The charity continues to be reliant on the generosity of its supporters.

During the period the charity employed sixty-nine full and part-time staff, enjoyed the services of seven Young Life (US) expatriate employees and utilised the services of financial and legal consultants. The charity is also heavily reliant on the goodwill and the variety of skills demonstrated by its many volunteers.

The net result for the period was a loss of £336,980 (2021: £345,778 surplus) resulting in a balance carried forward of £382,600 (2021: £719,580). This balance includes £152,885 (2021: £210,875) in restricted funds.

Young Life International made donations to Young Life US of £24,300 (2021: £10,145) during the period.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration

The Key management personnel of the charity comprise the UK Director and the Operations Director. Their remuneration is set in line with remuneration for similar roles in other charitable organisations.

Fixed Assets

The trustees do not include funds held as fixed assets when calculating the level of reserves thus enabling the board of trustees to truly reflect the value of general free reserves in the accounts.

Reserves Policy

The Charity has a Reserves Policy to promote sound financial stewardship, build its resilience and enable it to thrive in the years ahead, in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines. The Policy seeks to guard against material income loss and to plan prudently for the worst-case scenario of a major income fall that would necessitate closure of the Charity. The approach focuses on local financial stewardship, with each area of the Charity charged with raising its own funds and encouraged to have in reserve an amount equivalent to between three and six months unrestricted fixed core costs. The sum of area level reserve requirements equate to the reserve requirements for the Charity as a whole. Based on this twelve-month period, the Charity’s target reserves range would have been £280,000 to £560,000. Note that the free reserves are £72,760 (2021: £287,201). We were successful in achieving a reserves level within our target range, which has helped strengthen the resilience of the Charity. Note that, because of the localised reserves model, the actual free reserves figure includes funds designated at a local area level that are not immediately available to be repurposed. Despite this limitation, the trustees are satisfied that the Charity held a prudent level of actual reserves at the year-end, in view of the challenges and uncertainties that lie in the year ahead. The trustees regularly monitor reserves levels throughout each financial year.

Principal Funding Sources

The Charity is heavily reliant on donations from the general public. Many supporters of the Charity donate regularly via standing order. This provides a strong and stable base for future development. The remaining donated income comes from ad-hoc donations and other funding sources which includes grants from charitable trusts. The Charity seeks to maximise the potential of donated income by securing a gift aid declaration where possible, which increases the value of the donation by 25%. While there is significant fee income from the camp and service projects, these activities, along with the youth clubs, could not take place without the generosity of regular and ad-hoc donors. Fundraising is primarily carried out by field staff and local committees.

Fundraising Disclosures

Fundraising provides income so that we can resource and support our local area ministry activities, as well as subsidise camp places for those in financial need. The majority of donations are raised from private individuals, which is supplemented by grants from foundations.

We follow the principles of the Fundraising Code set out by the Fundraising Regulator. Most of our fundraising activity is carried out by soliciting donations within highly trusted relationships between field staff and donors. Except for IT systems that retain donor records and manage email campaigns, we do not outsource any aspect of our fundraising activities to third parties. Only those staff and volunteers inside the organisation are permitted to fundraise on our behalf, and our conduct expectations upon those individuals are extremely high. Every employee and volunteer who fundraises for the Charity is accountable to their line manager for their actions. We are proud to have had no reported complaints over any of our fundraising practices to date, but we are not complacent, and are poised to follow our complaints handling process should the need arise.

Everything possible is done to meet the needs of current and potential supporters, including protecting all vulnerable people, and handling donor data with care and in accordance with our data protection arrangements. We are always conscious of minimising the costs of fundraising and we continue to deliver value for money in all our charitable activities.

Plans for Future Periods

Despite all the change in society today, the core aims of the Charity remain unchanged and are consistent with the original principles for ministry established 80 years ago by Young Life in the United States. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the global Young Life organisation has extended the global “FORWARD” strategic initiative to now conclude in 2023. We have therefore set our principal objectives around achieving strategic growth in the following areas:

UK leadership is working closely with the global Young Life organisation to shape “KNOWN”, the next strategic initiative, which will run until 2030. Key pillars will include evangelism through discipleship, kingdom leaders, volunteer fuelled movement and local ownership, all within a culture of belonging.

We work closely with churches and other Christian ministry partners to develop collaborative relationships which enable greater extent of impact within the lives of young people. For those collaborative relationships to succeed the partners must share the basic strategic and theological ethos of Young Life International.

An important factor in achieving these objectives is to ensure that future developments are sustainable. To this end we have developed the rigour of our budgeting practices to help ensure that costs are fully weighed before committing charitable funds, and that spending operates within budgeted limits and financial controls. We are mindful of the significant challenge in the current climate of rebuilding ministry momentum and raising the level of funding to resource this vision but remain cautiously optimistic for the year ahead.

The impact of uncertainties due to Britain exiting the European Union on the Charity

The Trustees have considered the impact of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit) and have undertaken a Brexit impact assessment. The Trustees are monitoring events and their potential impact on the Charity against their analysis, however at this stage Brexit is not expected to have a significant impact on the Charity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF YOUNG LIFE INTERNATIONAL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Young Life International (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 September 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of financial activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance, the Consolidated Cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Statement of Financial Activities

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Statement of Financial Activities

12

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 44(1)(C) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These included, but were not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 6 & 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and tax legislation.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements and the financial report (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate entries including journals to overstate income or understate expenditure and management bias in accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30[TH] SEPTEMBER 2022

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Young Life International (YLI) is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is disclosed on page 2.

The principal activity of the charity is the advancement of Christianity among children and young people by the promotion of an evangelistic Christian testimony in the United Kingdom.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling and this is the functional currency of the Group and Charity.

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) (effective January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and the Companies Act 2006.

The statement of financial activities and balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, YLIM Ltd (YLIM). YLI exercises control over YLIM by being its sole member and by a YLI trustee also sitting as a director on the YLIM board.

No separate Statement of Financial Activities is presented for the charity as permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The net movement in funds dealt with in the charity’s Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 30[th] September 2022 was £272,431 expenditure (2021: £233,120 income).

2.4 Going concern

The financial statements are drawn up on the going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees have given due consideration to the working capital and cash flow requirements of the charity. The trustees consider the charity’s current and forecast cash resources to be sufficient to cover the working capital requirements of the charity for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

2.4 Going concern (continued)

The trustees have separately considered the uncertainty as to the future impact of COVID-19 on the going concern assessment. To date, there has been no significant adverse overall impact on the charity’s income and expenditure, however the trustees cannot predict the longer-term impact of the crisis. The trustees do not consider there to be a material uncertainty arising from the specific downside scenario impact of the crisis on the charity’s income, expenditure and cashflows.

2.5 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The charity’s general fund may be used by the charity at its discretion to further its stated charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific instructions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for specific purposes. The cost of raising and administering said funds are charged against that specific fund. The movements on each of the individual restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

2.6 Income

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

2.7 Expenditure

All costs including support costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on the activity.

All expenditure and liabilities are included on an accruals basis and recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay out resources.

2.8 Grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

2.9 Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.10 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets for use by the group are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate

Equipment

Straight line over 5 years

2.11 Investments

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are included at cost less any provision for impairment.

2.12 Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs.

2.13 Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

2.15 Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.16 Current taxation

The charity's activities fall within the exemptions afforded by the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, there is no taxation charge in these accounts.

The subsidiary current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Young Life International – Annual Report and Group Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30[th] September 2022

2.17 Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

3 JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In applying the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors' judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key estimates and assumptions made in these accounts are:

21 RELATED PARTIES

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption available according to Section 22 ‘Related party disclosures’ not to disclose transactions entered into between two or more members of a group.

The charity recognises the value of the support it receives from Young Life in the United States of America (Young Life US).

During the twelve month financial period Young Life US have made donations to Young Life International of £614,948 (2021: £692,112).

Young Life International made payments to Young Life US amounting, to £24,300 (2021: £10,145) towards the salary costs of these Young Life US staff. The trustees of Young Life International carefully consider the value received by the charity in return for the donations made (see note 6).
