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

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,

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 F*ople received housing advice. 57 secu￿￿ suitabl8 housing,
and 36 were placed into lemporarylemergency a￿COmmc*ati0n.
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.

circLJm5tances.

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.

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.

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.
