The Andrew Robinson Young People's Trust
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ending 31 May 2024
The trustees present their bNenty second report along with the financial ststements of
the charity for the year ending 31 May 2024.
OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
The Andrew Robinson Young People's Trust (ARYPT) was created in order to continue
the inspirational work for young people initiated and perfonned by Andrew Robinson, a
trainee catholic priest, until his untimely death from illness in 2001. It works closely with
both the Catholic Youth Services Ministry of the catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham
(Kenelm Youth Trust) and local head teachers to identify young people who stand to
benefit from involvement in Trust activities.
Objects
The objects of the charity as set out in the trust deed are -
to advance the religious education of young people, especially those in need by
virtue of their social or economic circumstances, sickness or distress, by the
provision of support and assistan￿ to enable them to develop their faith within the
Catholic Church and
to help and educate young people through their leisure time activities so as to
develop their physical and mental capacities, and inter-personal skills, to help them
grow towards full maturity as individuals and members of Society in order that their
conditions of life may improve
The charity is rooted in the catholic parish of which Andrew was a member, St Thomas
More Coventry. It is also closely associated with, and generously supported by, those
associated with the West Midlands seminary where Andrew was training to be a catholic
priest, Oscott College. People local to the parish are loyal supporters of the charity and
form its pool of volunteers without whose help the charity would be unable to carry out
its objectives. It is therefore likely that the charity's work will remain focused on young
people in the Coventry area in the foreseeable future.
The activities through which the charity pursues its objects are:
principally by funding residential events for mainly disadvantaged children based on
Alton Castle Staffordshire, an activity and retreat centre run by the catholic
Archdiocese of Birmingham. Children engage in a number of activities and
entertainment events in a spiritual environment and have the opportunity to learn
new skills and grow in self-confidence.
making cash donations for the benefit of children
all with a view to developing them personally and spiritually.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity meets its public benefit obligations by funding the annual residential visits
outlined in the previous section in which children enjoy a range of challenging
experiences, also by making appropriate cash donations, all with a view to extending
the children's individual and spiritual development. The areas of disadvantage faced by
many of the children the Trust seeks to help have included abuse, bullying, facial

Report of the Trustees continued
disfigurement, disability, bereavement, parent in prison, eviction from home, povety,
long time sickness and learning difficulties.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in
deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 202312024
The Trust kept up its normal program for the year with the Alton Castle Christmas
residential weekend for younger children and the Winter Camp week at the same
location for the older ones. Thanks to our donors we had enough money to finance
these events. We are particularly thankful to the "Charles Plater Trust" who made a one-
off grant of £5,000. We also benefited from other significant donations.. a legacy of
£10,000, and an individual donation of £2,500. Christ the King parish donated £1,165
following a fund-raising event they held for the charity and a local parishioner organised
a Rock Choir concert at St Thomas More parish which raised £650. Our fund-raising
volunteers worked very hard on a Christmas Gala which resulted in a wonderful surplus
of £4,179. The efforts and thoughttulness of all those people is much appreciated by
the trustees and helps to ensure more disadvantaged children benefit from the work of
the trust in the future. Many thanks to all contributors and organisers and for your
prayers. The donations we receive are random. There is no significant regular income,
so please pray that our funding will continue to be adequate for our needs. God bless
all our donors, our children, the volunteers and trustees. Maria Bracken is organiser of
our events and continues to do a fantastic job for the Trust.
Chrlstmas Residential - Alton Castle
Local school children in year 6 joined the ARYPT Christmas residential weekend in
December 2023. They were from St Peter and Paul, St Augustine, St Patrick, St Anne,
St Elizabeth and St Mary & Benedict schools in Coventry. We are always asked for
more places and whether other schools can be offered spaces. We try to ensure that
both the Coventry MACS have at least two primaries each and we stay loyal to St Mary
and Benedict where Andrew first started working.
The cost of a coach has now risen to over £1,000 so we are so grateful to be able to
rely on school minibuses. The Romero Academy have been very generous in enabling
their minibuses to be used for the wider community, reducing costs considerably. Some
schools have also covered the cost of the diesel. All savings are greatly appreciated.
Our ARYPT volunteers are exceptional. They received donations of 100 beautiful
Christmas books with illustrations of the story of Christmas. We wrapped and included
these as part of their presents. We were also able to incorporate this year a candy floss
stall at the party which went down really well. Volunteers also collected over 200
reading books either new or almost brand new. These were laid out in the dining room
and children could spend time browsing before selecting one. They were so delighted
to have a book of their own and kept asking 'Can I really keep it?,
In addition to the Christmas book their presents from Santa included a 'Nerf' foam gun,
make up, and a selection box. The screams of delight, the speed of unwrapping and
P￿84

Report of the Trustees contlnued
the smiles and hugging of presents were just beautiful. The children also loved to show
their presents to all the on-looking adults, really willing to spend time with them and
match their delight at their joy.
The children's highlights were dancing with the team at the paty, the presents, the
candy floss, the biking, building a fire for toasting marshmallows, the Christmas dinner,
the book - and many children especially loved having a journal and special pen.
We bought the journals so that they could write in a night prayer and morning prayer.
These helped to capture the weekend as a memory for them. There were also given
special stickers unpacking the theme of advent over each day.
Wlnter Camp Resldentlal - Alton Castle
We offered places to 36 young people, being mindful of seats and luggage, and 10
volunteers including 2 chefs. Again, we used minibuses which reduced costs by over
£2,000, and an emergency vehicle.
The theme was the 'Year of prayer., presided over by Fr Michael Dolman, using the
following themes:
God opens the door- come and see
I call you friends
Come as you are
I will give you rest
Heart speaks unto heart focus on Andy
I will be with you till the end ol time
We then ensured all prayers had a different focus under the same banner. On the first
night we intrOdU￿d journaling; the children personalised their journals with stickers, gel
pens and stamps which we provided. We also introduced them to the examen and lectio.
The children were split into four small groups for the duration of the five days and given
volunteers who were able to build relationships and effectively accompany our young
people. The volunteers, as always, weie just inspirational often swopping any moments
of down time for playing games, talking and joking with the young people.
Everyone received an ARYPT shield, a cross, a key ring with heart and a prayer card
as part of prayer time, plus a new addition for this year, a recyclable water bottle with
AR YPT personalised with their name, a day-bag for trips and a waterproof for all the
rain. This they all kept as a reminder of the trip, and the prayer gifts as a reminder of
the protection that comes from God's love and the prayers of the ARYPT community for
each of them.
This year we spent more time at the castle itself, working with the castle team on castle-
based activities and learning outside the classroom which was a requirement of the
Charles Plater Trust who kindly granted £5,000 towards the visit. The children and the
castle team loved it. It was a real highlight in their year.

The Andrew Robinson Young People's Trust
Report of the Trustees continued
Beyond the castle we enjoyed day trips on Sunday to Gullivers World, on Monday to a
farm and on Tuesday we went first to a Trampoline Park, then on to TenPin Coventry
for their half term deal on LaserQuest and bowling. We also managed to fit in
McDonalds where we all ate out together- so popular!
OUT chefs spent time looking back through past meals and chose the most popular ones
for the week. The menu was brilliant. The children ate well on home-cooked food
including home baking.
The children had a brilliant time and took away wonderful memories. At the end of the
visit we encouraged feedback from the children and their responses confirmed why this
charity places so much importance on the experience that these visits provide:.
What did you enjoy about the AR YPT winter camp?
The people, Rock climbing, Working in teams, Biking, I never get to go out for
very long, Made some friends, The mud
How did it differ from every day life?
Being in nature - it was so great, Waking up by someone, Less time on phones
and enjoying being outside, Being outside and active, I normally stay in bed or
am watching TV, its great to be outside and have fun with others
How has it helped you?
Built my confidence, Leamt new skills like biking better and lighting a fire safely,
l am more brave, I feel fitter, I made friends, I was listened too , I had fun
Have you grown in any way ?

can build a shelter, l am closer to God
How will you use what you have learnt when you get home?
Try and be outside more, Not be so attached to my phone, Listen to god, Talk to
people more, Help others
APPRECIATION
The trustees wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the individuals and
organisations who, either through organising fund-raising events or generously
contributing to its funds, have supported the Trust in pursuing the initiative set by
Andrew in helping young people. The Trust is also indebted to the volunteers who have
generously given their time to cary out the Trust activities for young people.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The principal objectives of the Trust will continue to be the two residential events,
normally held at Christmas and the Winter half-term, biased towards disadvantaged
children in Coventry schools.

GOING CONCERN
Thanks to the level of reserves (cf Resep4es Policy below) at the time of signing this
report the trustees do not envisage any material uncertainty inhibiting their ability to
meet the charity's objectives.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Prior year comparatives figures are (bracketed)
The result for the year was net income of £14,291, a significant increase on net income
in the previous year of £2,515, thanks to increased donations and the efforts of our
volunteer fund raising team in organising a Christmas Gala night.
Income totalled £33,379 (£19,522). Donations were £22,844, 47 % up on the previous
year thanks largely to the generosity of a local supporter who donated a legacy of
£10,000, and a grant of £5,000 from the Charles Plater Trust. The charity also held a
Christmas Gala for the first time; it grossed income of £8,401 (net surplus of £4,200
after costs) and was a fantastic reward for the initiative and efforts of our volunteer fund-
raising team. Gift aid added £912 (£1,234) and bank interest was £581 (£214).
Expenditure totalled £19,088 (£17,007). The cost of the Gala was £4,201 the bNO visits
to Alton Castle for local schoolchildren in Christmas 2023 and February 2024 cost
£7,814 and £6,126 respectively (£7,416 and £8,684).
The charity is genuinely indebted to the volunteers without whom these major initiatives,
benefiting so many youngsters each year, would simply be impossible.
In addition, fund raising costs associated with the use of the Just Giving and Paypal
plafforms added £345 (£362) and insurance costs amounted to £602 (£545).
The year closed with funds carried forward of £39,199 (£24,908) represented by bank
deposits of £38,643 and gift aid owed by HMRC £556. The designated funds of £19,000
are explained below under 'Reserves'; other unrestricted reserrfes amounted to £20,199
(£5,908). There are no restricted funds.
INVESTMENT POLICY
There are no restrictions on the trustees, powers to invest. The investment strategy is
prudent. Other than working capitsl requirements funds are placed on interest-earning
deposit.
RESERVES POLICY
Designated funds have been created to ensure the near-tem ability of the Charity to
fund its recurrent charitable activities. The residential centre at Alton Castle in
Staffordshire is commonly fvlly booked up to one year in advance, so care is taken to
ensure we have the required funds at the time of booking in order to protect the two
core activities of annual visits for children (cf Objects. page 3). The Tony Colby
Pilgrimage Fund enables support for young people's visits to the shrine at Lourdes and
was created in memory of a fellow parishioner, well known to Andrew, who throughout
his life worked hard to facilitate such visits. Details are shown in Note 7 to the accounts
on page 17.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
to the trustees of The Andrew Robinson Young People's Trust
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 $1 May 2024, which are set
out below.
Respective responslbillties of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responslblllty to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair
view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examlner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
{2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
