Approach: We work with young people to understand their short, medium and long-term priorities and challenges, to enable us to provide a service that is unique to them.
Adding Real Value: Our whole ethos is about providing a safe space and a professional team of staff who will listen to, and understand the needs of every individual young person.
LEGAL STATUS & AREA OF BENEFIT
We are a registered charity: No 1094570 We are also a Company Limited by Guarantee: No 04462901 Our area of benefit is Northumberland.
GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP
The Board of Directors (who are also Charity Trustees), consists of seven members with individual roles and shared accountability for the strategic direction, the fiduciary responsibility and the prudent governance of the charitable company.
During the year the Directors have held 6 face to face board meetings, plus 6 virtual update meetings. The Charity took the decision to cancel its AGM for the 2019/2020 financial year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. This was communicated to Members, and information regarding performance and financial management was shared.
CHAIR'S FOREWARD
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I present our Director's Report for the 2021-2022 financial year. This year we have focused significant energy around gearing up the charity for further transition and growth. Despite many challenges following the Covid-19 pandemic, the team have continued to provide key worker support to young people within our accommodation facilities and have engaged many diverse youth work projects.
Barnabas has a vision in place ,with very clear objects focused around making a real difference to the lives of young people between the ages of 11 and 25 years. The charity continues to provide a safe space where young people can talk openly without prejudice, and access the right services.
As a Charity we have reviewed our approach and strengthened our board of trustees, paying particular attention to governance, growth, and finance. We have revised several policies and procedures aimed at building continuity and consistency within the Charity. Our Board has expanded further with the addition of 2 more highly experienced trustees, who bring with them a wealth of experience and will be looking to support us in the areas of operational strategy and growth.
Yet again the charity has achieved fantastic outcomes for young people:
Safe and Sound Youth
- Continuing to work with Year 12 Peer Mentors, helping young people access engaging projects that make a difference. Delivering the fantastic Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, focusing on the expedition aspect of this challenging venture. Investing in our assets by beginning to refurbish the garage at our Wellwood House base. Moving forward this will provide a hub of activity for youth engagement in a safe space.
Engaged in many sporting and gaming activities, encouraging healthy challenge, stimulation, and achievement.
Safe and Sound Advice
Offered support to 28 young people in need of help, around a range of issues including housing and benefits. We have re-established links with the DWP, building on partnerships to provide a full support service to young people.
Safe and Sound Homes

Several clients have successfully moved on to independence, following tailored support and guidance.
We are immensely proud of our team, volunteers, and supporting partners. We could not have achieved this success without the ongoing support of our community, Charitable Trusts, and those who donated, fundraised, and volunteered to help us deliver our support to young people, we thank you all most sincerely.

Our current policy is to maintain free reserves equivalent to three months' operational costs of £30,000 and an additional £10,000 as a designated Building Maintenance Fund.

Continued development of our policy will assist Barnabas Safe & Sound in their strategic planning and budgeting process, and will inform the risk management process by identifying uncertainty in future income streams.
LANDMARK CELEBRATION
In January 2022 the Charity began its 21st birthday celebrations. Having been incorporated in June 2002, 2022 marks 21 years of support services for young people in Northumberland. The year began with a fantastic Burns Night Supper in January 2022, and a gathering of our Members' for our 2020/2021 AGM in March 2022. A range of other events are planned from April 2022 onwards.
KOAST RADIO COMMUNITY AWARD WINNERS
In July 2021 Barnabas received a nomination for the Koast Radio Community Awards. Following a community vote, Barnabas we delighted to received the award. Gill Monaghan, Finance Officer accepted the award, on air with the Clairey & Richy Breakfast Show. A fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of the issues young people face, including mental health, wellbeing, welfare, benefits and housing crisis.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
ASSETS & RESOURCES - We will improve facilities for young people, and continue to develop our existing assets, including the wider refurbishment of undeveloped space at the Charity's Wellwood House base. Work has already begun on the garage.
PREVENTION: Safe & Sound YOUTH - continued delivery of the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and Peer Mentoring Project. Our refurbished garage will provide a safe space where young people can engage in meaningful activity. We will offer young people the opportunity to train to become baristas, so it is easier to gain employment. Our youth work project aims to place young people firmly in the driving seat - they will set our agenda.
INTERVENTION: Safe & Sound ADVICE - secure funding to offer a more formalised advice service, from multiple locations.
CRISIS: Safe & Sound HOMES - to expand our provision of supported accommodation and provide more opportunity for young people to take on their own tenancies.
As we moved forward into 2022/2023 we are aware of the social and economic pressures our society faces. We will be focusing our fundraising approach around supporting the local community, and will aim to create valuable services for young people which bring with them, true fiscal benefit.

Trustees' Report
Structure, governance and management
Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration
The board, who give their time freely and no trustees received remuneration in the year, have considered who the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the charitable company, as noted in the Reference and Administration section. Together with the board, these KMP are those in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the activities of the charity on a day to day basis. The pay of the KMP is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The trustees benchmark against pay levels of other charities and similar organisations within the sector and the region. Pay levels are set using this information together with budget and forecast information, ensuring that the charitable company can afford any proposed increases. The board then agree any uplift to remuneration.
Objectives and activities
Fundraising disclosures
The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.
Public benefit
See disclosure within the Directors report.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Going concern
The trustees have prepared a budget and cashflow forecast, including consideration of the financial impact of COVID-19 and have concluded that the charity continues to be a going concern for the foreseeable future. On that basis they have continued to adopt the going concern basis when preparing the financial statements.

Trustees' Report
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Barnabas - Safe & Sound for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Barnabas - Safe & Sound ("the Company")
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Barnabas - Safe & Sound are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement

accounting records were not kept in respect of Barnabas - Safe & Sound as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Wellwood House, Dark Lane, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 1SU
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Barnabas - Safe & Sound meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees have prepared budgets and a forecast which gives them adequate comfort that the charitable company is a going concern. Therefore the trustees are of the view that the charitable company has sufficient resources for at least the next 12 months (from the date of approving the financial statements). As a result the charitable company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Estimation uncertainty and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.There are considered to be no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies which effect the amounts recognised in the financial statements
Income and endowments
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.
14
Barnabas - Safe & Sound
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Donations and legacies
Voluntary income including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, probable receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Gift aid
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Investment income
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income
Housing management and support services income is recognised for the period in which the income is earned.
Rental income is recognised as income for the period rent is due.
Youth Club income is recognised as activities are undertaken.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a 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.
Raising funds
Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
15
Barnabas - Safe & Sound
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Support costs
Support costs have been differentiated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the statutory audit and other costs with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned as set out in the Support Costs note.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £250.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
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.
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Land and buildings | 2% straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings | 25% straight line |
| Motor vehicles | 25% straight line |
Trade debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
16
Barnabas - Safe & Sound
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Trade creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Fund structure
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.
Unrestricted funds include designated funds, where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.
