Youth Work Unit - (Yorkshire and the Humber) CIO

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Financial review

The net income for the year was £60,296, including net income of £63,037 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £2,741 on restricted funds.

The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £165,023.

The Youth Work Unit Yorkshire and the Humber monitors its reserves three times a year through income and expenditure forecasts produced for the Board. Should the situation arise where reserves reach a level of £30,000 or lower, the board will meet to consider the viability of the organisation in order to ensure that its obligations can be met. In addition, should the reserves reach a figure of £60,000 or more, this will trigger a discussion at the following meeting of the Board, where the level of reserves will be reviewed.

Due to the ongoing effect of the pandemic our reserves have remained particularly high. We have again been restricted as to the amount of face to face meetings or training, so the associated costs have been minimal. Due to the level of reserves we have been able to take on one more member of staff and we were unsuccessful in filling a more substantive post, but are intending to pursue this.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £2,500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.

Pensions

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
