Structure, Governance and Management
Nature of the governing document and constitution of the charity
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by the memorandum and articles of association dated 12[th] July 2002 as amended by special resolutions dated 10[th] February 2003, 10[th] January 2011 and 10[th] February 2011.
The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. Eligibility for membership of the charity and membership of the board of trustees is governed by the memorandum and articles of association. There are no restrictions in the governing documents on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers, other than those imposed by general charity law
The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees
At every annual general meeting one-third of the trustees retire from office. The trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment.
If the Charity at the meeting at which a trustee retires by rotation, does not fill the vacancy the retiring trustee shall, if willing to act, be deemed to have been reappointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolution for the reappointment of the trustee is put to the meeting and lost.
No person other than a trustee retiring by rotation shall be appointed or reappointed a trustee at any general meeting unless:
-
He/she is recommended by the trustees; or
-
notice executed by a member qualified to vote at the meeting has been given to the Charity of the intention to propose that person for appointment or reappointment.
Subject as aforesaid, the Charity may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee and may also determine the rotation in which any additional trustees are to retire.
- 3 -
LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Directors’ Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee provided that the appointment does not cause the number of trustees to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the articles as the maximum number of trustees. A trustee so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and shall not be taken into account in determining the trustees who are to retire by rotation at the meeting. If not reappointed at such annual general meeting, he shall vacate the office at the conclusion thereof.

Directors’ Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
Our child-led approach to our projects means that the support is adaptable and flexible, but carries the LYP DNA throughout each activity we provide. In 2024 we ran a total of 17 projects, alongside delivering 836 counselling sessions.
We also continued to upskill the current team as well as employed a new Bookham lead - community youth worker to help further grow our work in Bookham and the surrounding areas. We are immensely proud of the hard work the team puts in, on a daily basis and have ended the year with over 600 young people having been supported.
We look forward to building on this success as we go into 2025 and would like to thank our donors, funders and supporters for their commitment to the work we do.

LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Directors’ Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
From the Chair of Trustees:
LYP has continued to fulfil its mission to serve young people in Leatherhead, Bookham and across Mole Valley so that they might experience transformation in every part of their lives. This is primarily enabled through the staff team and volunteers, and the trustees are rightly proud of their skill, professionalism, commitment, service and generosity. The achievements of the team are described in this report and they illustrate the impact that the work has amongst local young people.
The trustees have continued to have oversight of and input into the governance of the organisation as well as the fulfilment of its vision. The trustees have continued to monitor and approve the relevant policies and procedures as well as having clear sight of and input into the fundraising strategy and its implementation.
Appropriate financial controls are overseen by the trustees and they also take seriously the necessity to maintain healthy cashflow and reserves. During the year we have been able to fulfil all our financial commitments as well as maintain our reserves, with enough money to cover at least 3 months of expenditure.
Annual reviews of all staff are undertaken, including the CEO. Objectives are set for all the staff and CPD is available enable the team to build a broad-based set of skills and capacity. All staff undertake regular safeguarding training. Trustees are encouraged to ensure that they also receive regular training, including safeguarding training.
In 2024, we reviewed the following policies, while maintaining many other policies, that are of clear importance to any charity with similar objectives to ourselves, such as safeguarding:
-

Directors’ Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED
Financial Review
During the period the charity had income resources of £297,125 and a total expenditure of £313,701 resulting in net outflow of resources of £16,576.
Reserves Policy
Our reserves policy is designed to give us sufficient reserves to enable us to cope with unforeseen events without tying up funds that could be utilised to fund projects. With this in mind we aim to hold unrestricted reserves to cover between three and six months’ running costs.
Our current position achieves this target.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and on planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Statement of Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Leatherhead Youth Project Limited 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.
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-

LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Directors’ Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
In the preparation of this report the directors have taken advantage of the exemptions applicable to small companies as conferred by Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 17 June 2025.

LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Leatherhead Youth Project Ltd
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 12 to 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the 2006 Companies Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Independent examiner’s statement
If the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
(2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or (3) 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
(4) 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).

LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Leatherhead Youth Project Ltd

LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
1 Accounting policies
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, 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). 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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 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.
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.
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors 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.
Incoming resources
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.
- 14 -
LEATHERHEAD YOUTH PROJECT LIMITED Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2024
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.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised in the year in which the liability is incurred and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Charitable activities' direct costs and support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation, except for set up costs and items funded entirely by external restricted donations which have been written off in the year in which the expenditure was incurred and the funding received. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 33% - 50% x cost
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.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
There were no key judgements. The main accounting estimates are depreciation, gift aid debtors and accruals.
