TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
YESU was established under the memorandum and articles of association on 11 February 2002 and registered with the Charity Commission on 16 July 2002. The primary purposes of YESU are to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick, and to relieve the distress caused thereby, and to advance the education of the public and offer advice on life issues.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Activities
YESU is a Christian based project based in Sheringham, Norfolk providing vital community-based services for all age groups with a special emphasis on young people, families, single parents, the unemployed and the elderly.
Established in 2002 YESU has built up a reputation over the years for being able to meet the needs of individuals isolated in a rural village and seaside location. YESU responds to a lack of activities for disadvantaged individuals by providing community-based facilities where anyone can come to access specialist advice and information on a range of issues.
YESU encourages community participation to look out for neighbours and support those in need.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Many of those who come to us are struggling and are often embarrassed to ask for help as they feel that they should be able to manage. Yesu has become a place where people feel safe to open up about their struggles, knowing that they won’t be judged but loved and supported. So often many of those who do seek support end up helping others, go on to serve in other areas of the work like the community fridge, serving teas and coffee, helping cleaning. We often hear from people who say they felt welcomed and accepted.
Many of the groups become like family to those that attend, it’s a lifeline to some and its always lovely to see those who at first would try to hide themselves start to open up, laugh and smile.
Our clubs and groups include:
Connect Next: The young people that attend this group are all dealing with life issues such as mental health / physical health issues, learning difficulties, social difficulties. As a group they meet fortnightly for lunch and activities. A number also meet with a Befriender, someone who is able to support them, encourage and help put some structure in their lives also providing volunteering opportunities for those able to do so. Each time we gather, we eat round a large table and the conversations flow, with gradually more people involved. Over time members of the group now feel able to share about their lives. As they have grown in confidence, they have also started getting involved in serving at special events as well as getting involved in cleaning and set up and attending Life Church.

YESU
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Life Education: This is a brief report on Life Education from one of our volunteers… What a fantastic term we have! We have seen incredible progress with each of the children. Confidence is soaring! Here are a couple of examples:
The primary school referred a child struggling with low mood. The young person was reported by school to always look sad and they were concerned. This young person has now settled into the Life Education family. Smiling, performing gymnastics, singing and dancing as well as doing amazing reading. School also reported a marked change in the young person’s mood with smiles and a more positive outlook.
Another young person had been struggling with anger issues. They discussed with their keyperson a few weeks ago that they had decided not to feel angry anymore. Since that time, we have noticed a marked change with this young person, coming through the door smiling, participating in group activities and a softening in their mood.
Following a recent meeting with the primary school, they couldn’t speak more highly of the work that was being done to support these young lives and how important this project was to each one of them. They said how every one of the children loved coming and how the teachers valued the additional support that was being given to the children and their families.
8-11’s /Emerge / Come to Play: One of the biggest encouragements in all the youth and children’s work we are doing is seeing children and young people, and even whole families connecting with Yesu in multiple ways. Some families are accessing help through the parent support group at Yesu, and their children are coming to Life Education or one of our other groups. Other families have been coming to Come to Play and Life Connect coffee morning at the Life Centre, and then go down to Yesu to access a safe space and a warm welcome.
Life Connect: This group is a wonderful example of family in action, people of all ages coming alongside one another, chatting, listening, encouraging and serving one another, cuddling babies and even being covered in post-it notes by a 4-year-old!
Parent Support Drop In: Our Parent Support Centre is open 2 days a week for parents with their children to access support and guidance. Parents of the local primary school and complex needs school have a need to meet somewhere independent from the schools and away from their children to seek support for themselves. This includes advice on how to support their children with maths and literacy homework and discussion sessions around budgeting, filling in access to support forms, cooking healthy meals, bedtime routines etc and further support for parent of children with SEND/social, emotional, mental health needs. We also signpost parents to other agencies e.g., mental health practitioners, housing departments etc.

YESU
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
- “It’s been really lovely working with the parents over the past 4 weeks. Making a journal and chatting while making is such a simple activity. Collaging images and selecting words without explanation has been a quick and effective form of expression and available to everyone.” (Artist Ros Copping)
Yesu continues its on-going work within the community expressing to people that they are special, important and valued and we are so encouraged to see so many people of all ages grow, gain confidence, build friendships and learn new skills.
Financial review
The Charity sustained a deficit this year of £8,873 (2024: surplus of £12,878) as detailed in the SOFA. Funds carried forward at 31 July 2025 are £104,017 (2024: £112,890 ) of which £7,600 are restricted.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have had to again this year consider a difficult operational climate in which grant income is difficult to obtain. They have continued to be prudent in anticipating the reduction in funding and at the year-end have been able to retain more than three months of expenses in reserves. Whist the charity is dependent on regular funding, the Trustees maintain that a level of cash flow to meet two months' worth of expenditure needs to be kept in order to cover on-going costs. This has been achieved for the current year.
Principal funding sources
The trust receives the majority of its income through various grants, some of which are provided for specific purposes. It also receives donations from Life Church Sheringham and other private donors.
Major risks
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 1985 and is controlled by its governing document, the memorandum and articles of association.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mr Benjamin Green Mr Stephen James Mr Kevin Plumbly Mrs Tracey Davies
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The appointment of trustees is governed by the Articles of Association. Existing trustees are authorized to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of one of their number.
Relationship with related parties
The Yesu project has occupied a community centre building owned by Life Church Sheringham (previously New Wine Church Trust) since July 2002. The building is let rent free to YESU, and provides a venue for our youth workers and community staff to work from. Life Church Sheringham also donated £55,613 of Money, Goods and Services during the year.
Richard Allen, a Trustee of Life Church Sheringham, was reimbursed for mileage travelled on behalf of Yesu during the year in his role as Project Manager.

YESU
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Yesu is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 15 High Street, SHERINGHAM, Norfolk, NR26 8JP, United Kingdom. Each member's shares is limited to £10.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities 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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment 20% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 20% on reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.9 Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
1.10 Employee benefits

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
