  1. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:-

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continueq)

Year ended 31 May 2025

  1. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and machinery - 20% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

FISHGUARD AND GOODWICK YOUNG PERSON’S TRUST LTD

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31% MAY 2025

INTRODUCTION

The Trustees are delighted to share our vibrant annual report and consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31st May 2025. Prepared in line with Companies Act requirements and the SORP (FRS 102) standards, this report celebrates a year of resilience, and community impact.

OUR MISSION & PURPOSE

“Empowering the Future of North Pembrokeshire”

Objectives and Aims

As set out in the Articles, the purposes of the charity are the advancement of young persons, aged 11-25 who are resident in the stated areas of North Pembrokeshire, through the promotion of their spiritual, social, moral, cultural and physical development. The charity’s mission statement is (updated in July 2024):

“We provide a bespoke provision which meets the ever-changing wants and needs of young people aged 10 — 25. We support their emotional and physical wellbeing and provide access to opportunities that they carry through into adulthood, setting the envirs:iment to thrive and to develop pride in themselves and as part of their community.”

Affordability and universal access for all young people aged 10-25 from the North Pembrokeshire area is extremely important to us. The majority of young people we support are from families who are marginalised due to living in a highly rural location with very limited access to services and good quality public transport. Many also experience economic deprivation; therefore, affordability is essential to ensure that all young people have equal access to services. Engaging young people positively in their local community forms a large part of our work and is reflected in the aims and objectives.

STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS

  1. Drop-in Services: A safe, welcoming space for socializing, learning, and enjoying nutritious meals.

  2. To enhance, develop and build upon the attributes young people already possess. To develop life and personal skills, belief and confidence in themselves to become an asset to themselves, their families and their communities.

Where they can enhance their life skills, develop their interests and socialise with their peers and positive role models.

  4. Youth Empowerment: Platforms for young people to influence their communities and POINT’s operations.

  5. Customized Support: Tailored programs meeting the unique needs of every individual.

  6. Training & Education: Informal, accredited, young person led training for those struggling in conventional settings.

Case Studies:

*NB All names have been changed to protect identity

Sally

When Sally first began attending Point, she was very quiet and lacked confidence in both herself and her footballing abilities. She often chose to stand back rather than get involved, which was especially noticeable during our Point football sessions. Sally found it difficult to showcase her skills in front of others.

To support her and other girls in a similar position, we introduced a girls-only football session. This created a more comfortable and supportive environment, allowing Sally to feel relaxed and free from pressure. In this setting, she began to express herself more openly and started to enjoy playing football.

Since then, Sally has made remarkable progress. She now shows a great deal of confidence during both Point football and our drop-in sessions. Her self-belief has grown, and she engages far more in group activities, particularly football.

Jack

Jack’s attendance at POINT is sporadic, but he has built strong relationships with staff and accesses support when needed. He engages most when trips or activities are involved, using these as motivation to connect positively.

After a Hip Hop event, Jack faced temporary-restrictions from summer trips due to previous behaviour. He responded maturely, apologising to staff and demonstrating accountability. This positive approach earned him an invitation to a fishing trip, which he missed due to family commitments.

Jack has also had challenges outside POINT, including involvement in anti-social behaviour. Staff facilitated his first meeting with the ASB team at the youth centre, providing support and helping him recognise the consequences of his actions.

POINT has offered Jack additional constructive opportunities, including volunteering with a National Park Ranger and completing an Agored Cymru cooking unit. On both occasions, he demonstrated commitment, focus, and work ethic, even when peers did not participate.

Recently, Jack’s improved behaviour has been recognised with an invitation to the Gareth Bale Street Games event. His progress highlights how strong relationships, targeted support, and

positive reinforcement can help young people overcome challenges and engage meaningfully with their community.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our journey continues with unwavering dedication. By fostering an inclusive, supportive environment, we empower North Pembrokeshire’s youth to build brighter futures and strengthen their communities. Together, we look forward to another year of growth, inspiration, and achieve.

Promotion of Services

POINT actively promotes its programs and initiatives through various channels to engage and inform the community. Local newspapers frequently feature articles showcasing our impactful work with young people and intergenerational activities, highlighting the positive contributions we make in North Pembrokeshire. These stories play a crucial role in raising awareness and enhancing our reputation within the community.

Our robust social media presence, including a dedicated Facebook and Instagram page, serves as a dynamic platform for communication which connects people to our dedicated website. Via social media and out website, we share upcoming opportunities, events, and success stories, fostering direct engagement with young people, community members and our funders.

Fundraising efforts are a vital part of our outreach. Through our Local Giving page, we involve the community in various appeals. For example, the recent “Mayors 621K Cycling FundraiserPenicuik, Scotland to Fishguard Pembs” which generated £1,082 for POINT. Also the “Swansea Half Marathon Fundraiser for POINT” completed by local man Connor Aylward in June 2025 generated nearly £500.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT

POINT Charity is dedicated to fulfilling its commitment to public benefit in alignment with the Charity Commission’s guidance. When reviewing our aims, objectives, and planning future initiatives, we ensure that all activities contribute meaningfully to our core mission: supporting the holistic development of young people aged 10-25 in North Pembrokeshire.

Our programs focus on providing accessible, affordable, and tailored services designed to engage and uplift youth, particularly those facing financial hardship, social exclusion, or other

disadvantages. By fostering emotional and physical wellbeing, empowering individual potential, and promoting community involvement, we create lasting positive impact.

Through initiatives such as free meals, accredited training, personalized support, and adventure programs, POINT ensures that every young person has the opportunity to thrive, overcome challenges, and build a brighter future—benefiting both individuals and the wider community.

Financial Review

This year marked significant milestones and exciting new opportunities for POINT’s mission to support the young people of North Pembrokeshire. Here's a vibrant snapshot of our financial achievements and future plans:

"= Successful Project Completions:

In December 2024, we concluded two impactful initiatives:

Shared Prosperity Uk Government Funding (Jan-Dec 2024) and Pembrokeshire County Council’s Enhancing Pembrokeshire funding (Jan-Dec 2025) for POINT to a Better Future: providing increased opportunities for young people to develop their skills, confidence, selfesteem, a sense of direction, expanding their life and career horizons with opportunities for informal accreditation in Life Skills, whilst participating in challenging fun activities

New Funding Adventures:

Shared Prosperity Capital Funding

In June 2025, we secured funding for a new commercial standard kitchen to be installed which will not only enhance our free hot healthy 4 day per week food provision, but also create _ culturalOpportunitieshub for young entrepreneurs and local community initiatives, making POINT a vibrant

POINT to a Better Future part 2

In 2026, we will continue POINT to a Better Future, creating more informal learning opportunities and reaching more home-educated young people. The project will empower young people to have a voice at the centre and their community, while supporting them to build skills, confidence, and reach their full potential.

We’re thrilled to have secured funding from the Garfield Weston, the Moondance Foundation and the Waterloo Foundation for 2026. This will help us to continue to fund our POINT toa Better Future project

The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation (now known as the Forte Trust) and our Children in Need Core Grant will continue to provide funding for core “back office” operations during 2026.

We are hoping to receive funding from the Local Authority’s Enhancing Pembrokeshire scheme again in 2026 (outcome of application in Jan 2026)

We also have other funding applications awaiting a decision for project costs towards POINT to a Better Future with Global’s Make Some Noise

Local Authority Support:

Our long-standing partnership with the local authority remains strong! We receive £36,000/year from Children and Families Funding (formerly Families First). This supports staffing and activities for our Drop-In services, including our popular Saturday evening sessions. This funding, in place since 2012, continues into 2026 and is expected to continue until 2028 .

@ Looking Ahead:

The Board of Trustees and our General Manager are laser-focused on sustainability! Regular committee meetings ensure we stay ahead of funding needs, submitting applications well in advance to maintain smooth operations.

RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN

The Trustees regularly review the charity’s financial position and contingency plans to ensure that POINT can continue to meet its commitments and deliver its charitable objectives, even in the event of fluctuations in income. This includes modelling scenarios in which funding may reduce and, in the most severe circumstances, where services may need to be scaled back or closed. In such circumstances, the Trustees have planned for potential redundancy costs to ensure that staff are treated fairly and legally.

In line with this prudent approach, POINT holds unrestricted (free) reserves of £104,589 equivalent to 5-7 months of operating costs. This level of reserves provides a buffer against unforeseen financial pressures, delays in funding, or unexpected expenditure.

The Trustees also maintain designated reserves of approximately £30,000 to cover essential building maintenance and associated costs, ensuring that the charity's premises remain safe, functional, and fully operational.
