Structure. govemance and manag9ment Carlisle Key was established as a registered charity in 2003 under the name Communty Projects Cadisle and officially incorporated as a charitable company later that year. 11 was in 201fj that the charity was rebranded as Carlisle Key lo reflect its mission of supporting young people aged 1&25 who are experien￿ng homelessness or are al risk of becoming homeless. Youth homelessness in the Norih Wesl. as across the UK. has reacFied critical levels. with the latest figures from Centrepoinl showing 136.OQO young people facing homelessness in the past year. This represents 8 marked increase. with the North West being especially impacted. recording 77.000 cases-the second-highest in the country. To addie5s these challenges, Cadisle Key is actively working along￿de CerbtreFMiint. New H￿1ZOn Youth Cenler. and over 140 other organizations as part of the PlanForThe136k campaign. a national initiative advocating for policy reform lailored to the needs of young people. There have been some gains, suGh as a planned increase in the Minimum wage to £10 per hour for 18-20-year-olds. progressing toward fair pay for young adults. There's also a push for more affordable and social houslng lo provlde stable housing oplions. However. crllical issues remain una¢¢ressed, Including the laper rate differences in housing benefits for young people in supported housina focus of the campaign's MakeWorkPay initiative. The coalition continues to advocate for a Youth-spe￿￿C chapter irb the Government's homelessness strategy lo ensure young people's unique r￿dS are priorib"zed. In addition lo homelessness, Carlisle Key also addresses a broader range of issues young people face, Ir)cluding mental health challenges. financial instability. education and employment barriers. The charity's services, particularly its drop-in centre and supported accomm￿lation. are cruoal in prowding vulnerable young people with the necessary tools to achieve independent living. This increase in youth homelessness highlights Ihe critical need for cOn￿nUed and expanded support to prevent further escalation of the crisis.

In addition lo our employed staff, Carlisle Key benerrts trom the ongoing contributions of volunteers. numbering beiween three and len each year.

Public Benefit The Trustees confirm they have complied with the Charities Act 2011, taking due regard of the Charity Commission's guidance on public bwefit. The "Chartbes and Public Benefft" guidan￿ highlights two key principles- rirsl, the benefit musl be identifiable. and second. it must serve the public or a sedion of it. The Trustees are confident that Carlisle Key fulfils these critena, as demonstrated by the charity's achievements and its direct work with young people aged 16-25. In the year under rèview. Carlisle Key engaged with 198 Y￿ng people. delivering 12.105 recorded acuons and supporting 379 young people overall within the 16-25 age group. An additional 55 individuals aged out of our service range by luming 26. Our work indudes supporfing young people through various challenges, such as mental health issues, court cases. financial instability. homdessness. and relationship breakdowns. Achievements and perfomiance Key achievements include.. Improved Mental Health Support.. 155 young people accessed serVI￿S lo manage mental health issues, with 387 acb'or)ed outcomes. Housing Suptx)rt'. 147 young Fople received housing advice. 57 secu￿￿ suitabl8 housing, and 36 were placed into lemporarylemergency a￿COmmcati0n. Financial Assislance. 161 young people accessed benefits advice, 93 re￿Ned money marbagemert advice. and 80 iTnproved their budgeting skills. Employment and Education Support. 130 young people accessed employment advi￿, with 60 finding work and 27 entering education. General Wellbeing.. 1 ?4 young people reported improvements in their general wellbeing. supported by 1-tO•15UPPOrt sessions. counselling services. arml safety inlervenlions. Our supported accommodation project played a pivotal role, providing housing and tailored support to 14 young people, five of whom successfully transitioned into private aCcomr￿￿81l0n. Additionally, our Drop-ln Centre served as a crucial resource. offeriro a wide range of practical suptM)rt such as lo￿ parcels, hygiene products. and access lo services like mental health counselling and employability training. We also facilitated aclivib.es like bike rides and hikes. focusing on both physical arbd mental well-being. The team are looking lo expand this project in the new year and include young people that access our drop-in cenlre. Despite challenges, including staffing turnover. we successfully rroinlained our services with the support of volunteers and a new a(Jminislrative apprentice. The counselling service expanded, with 35 young people accessing sessions at our centre, compared lo 27 in the previous year. Based on the services provided and the out(x)mes athieved. the cost to the public or ￿Vernment of not supporting our work WOLJld be significant. Wrthout Ihe Iniervenlions Carfisle Key provides. many of the young people we support would likely require more costly public seNices. such as emergency fh)using, NHS mental health services. and social welfare assistance. By improving menlal health. securing stable housing, and helping young people get employment or education, we reduce the strain on public resources. Our proactive approach lo supporting vulnerable youth delivers long-term benefils. ulbmately sawng public funds. Financial review This year, Carlisle Key experienced its fitst finan￿al defficit. a direct result of unique challenges that we addre55ed throughout the year. Despite Ihis. we remain committed to maintaining and expanding our vital services for young people. The d8ficit is larg8ly attributabl8 to a one-tim@ housing b8n8fit repaym@nt and a t8mpDrary reduction in income re18ted to our supported 8ccommodation project. Thi5 ￿paYment will be split between this year and the next. For the financial year ending March 2024. we ￿Corded an income of £216,196 and an expenditure of £274,720, resulting in a deficit of £58.524. This shortfall was driven by Iwo key factors.. 1. Housiro Benefit Overpayment.. We had to repay £34,888.38 due lo a historical housing benefit overpayment for Nighl Security al our Supported AccommiKlation. This issue has since been resolved. We implemented a new On-call System for our Supported Accommodation, developed in Colla￿ratIon with ou. staff and approved by the housing benefit authorities. This system will be more cost-effective and sustsinable moving fo￿ard. 2. Reduced Housing Income.. For half of the year, we experienced a significanl r￿lUctiOn in inconE from wr housing servI￿s. amounting to over £10,000. This was due to delays in housing benefit adjuslments during the transiti)n to the new On-call System. This income stream is now reslored, ensuring future stabilty.

To cover the deficit, we utilised surplus funds from Ihe previous year. amounting to £21,416 and £2, 219.62 from our reserves. These reserves have allowed us lo weather the finanaal impact without compromising the level of service provided to young people. Despite the finanoal challenges this year. we remain focused on strengthening our fLJnding strategy and diversifying our income streams. Our CEO, together wtih the Board of Trustees, is 8clively w(Kking on developing longer-terni financial stability through grants, contracts. and new partnerships. We have already implemenled ost-saving measures and will continue to monitor expenditLres closely to ensure that our ServI￿S are delivered efficiently and effectively. Despite the challenges this year, Carfisle Key still holds a healthy reserve. After covering Ihe deficit, our remaining reseNes stand al £244.590. Our pdicy remains to maintain reserves that cover three to six months ol committed 8xpendituro, and wa will continue lo monilor our resetvas dosely to ensur8 the charitys long-tarm financial h8alth. The use of our previous yearfs surplus allowed us lo absorb this yearfs exceptional costs without compromising seNices. Going forward, we will rebuild our reserves Ihrough 8 targeted ir)corne strategy. Our financial planning indudes the development of a new three-year strategic plan aimed al expanding our supported housing semces, growing our team and impromng support for young people in need. This will be particularly important as natKJNal funding for homelessness services continues lo face reductions. We remain deeply grateful lo our funders and partners for their conlinued support. Their contributions allow us to provide much-needed services lo vulnerable young people. and we are confident that with careful planning and ongoing collaboration, Cartisle Key will emerge strO￿er and more resilEnt.

Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the truslees to further any of the charity's purposes. Desigr)aled fLJnds are unreslricled fvnds earmarked by the tnjstees for particular future project or commitment. Resthcted funds are subjected lo restricbons on their expenditure dedared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. and fall into one of two sub-dasses". restricted income lunds or endowment funds. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed lo the charity: it is probable that the economic benefits associated wtth the transaction will flow to the charity and the anKJunl can be reliably measured. The followng specffic poI￿leS are applied to partiCLJlar categories of income.. income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of enlillemenl to the gift. receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy In￿Me is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. income from donated goods is measu-ed al the fair value of the goods unless Ihis is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and serVI￿S are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the conlributson of general vdunteers. Income from contracts for the supply of Services 15 recognised with the delivery of the corbtracted service. This is classrfied as unreslricled funds unless there is a conlraclual requiremenl for il lo be spent on a parbcular purpose and returned if UnS￿nI. in which case il may be regarded as restricted. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. and is dassified under healings of the statement of financ￿1 acttvities to which it relates.. expenditur& on raising funds indudes the costs of all fundraising activities. events. non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on tharilat4e activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in unijertaking activities that further Its charitsble aims for the benefit of ils beneficiaiies, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the tharity apportioned to charitsble activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure Ihat is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories ref ecling the use of the resource. Direct costs 3ttribLrtable to a single activity are allocated directly to Ihal actsvity. Shared costs are apportioned belween the adivilies they contribute lo on a reasor)able. jusbfiable and consistent basis. Tangible assets Tangible assets are inttially re(x)rded at cosl, and sUbSequen￿Y Stat￿ at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impaimient losses. Any tsngible assets tsrried at revalued amounts are recorded al the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulaled impaimienl losses. An increase in the carying amount of an asset as 8 result of a revaluation, is recogr)ised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impaimienl that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in Ihe carrying amourt of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses. ex￿pt to it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other rec¢yJnised gains and losses on Ihe statement of financial activities.

Depreciation DepreG13t1￿ is calculated so as to write off the or valuation of an asset. less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows= Freehold property Fixtures and ffltings Equipment Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impaimient is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the csrrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimienls are also reviewed for possible reversal al each reFK>rting date. For the purposes of impairment 18sting. when it is not possible to esl'mate the r8coverable amount of ar) individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of Ihe cash4JeneTating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generaling unil is the smallest idenlifiable group of assets Ihal ircludes the assel and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodTMII acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date. allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expecled to benefit fr?m the synergies of the combination. i￿espe￿ive of whether other assets or liabilities of the charty are asS￿ned to those units. Govarnm&nt grants Government grants are recognised al the fair value of the assel re￿iVed or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance Ihat the charity wll comply with the condttitsns attaching tts them arbd the grants will be recwved.

Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liabilty- 2% straight line 25% straight line 250/0 straight line

Financial instruments A financi31 asset or a financial liability is recognised only ￿hen the charity becomes 3 party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic fir)ancial instruments are irmtially recognised al Ihe amount receivable or payable includiT)g any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabiltties are subsequently measured at the cash or other consiéeralion expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publidy traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Ihe investrnent is subsequently rr*asured al fair value wtth changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivab'ves, are inilially recognised * fair value, unless payment for an as5el is deletred beyolld normal busines5 tetms or financed at a rate of intere51 that Is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured al the present value of the future payments discounted at a marf(el rale of interest lor a similar debt instrument. Other finanoal instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes r8cognised in the st8lemeNt of finanaal activities. with the exception of hedging instrument5 in a designated hedging relationship. Flnancial assets that are measured al cost or amortlsed cost are revlewe¢ for oblectlve eviden￿ of Impalrmenl at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment. an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriale heading in the statement of financial acknvities in which the initsal gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial asset5 that are ir)dividually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk tharacteristics. Any reversals of impaimieit are recognise(l immediately, lo the extent that the reversal does not resutt in a carying amounl of Ihe finanual asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impaimienl not previousty been rec(onised. Deflned contrlbutlon plans Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the peri(Ml in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an assel to the extent that the prepayment wll lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refU￿1_ When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 m￿thS of the end of the reporting date In which the employees rendw the related service. the liability is measured on a discounted present value ba￿s. The unwinding of the discount is reccrfJnised as an expense in the period in which il arises. 4. Limited by guarantee The liability of the members is limited.
