TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2021.
The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Objectives and activities
The company is a charity and exists to advance the education and conditions of life of young people under the age of 25 in South London by the provision of educational facilities and other facilities in the interests of social welfare and the relief of poverty for those young people.
Youth Education Support Services London offers a sympathetic and professional approach , taking into account the individual circumstances and difficulties of the young people we work with. Through a combination of moral and emotional support, linked to practical resources in association with other support agencies, Youth Education Support Services London is helping many disadvantaged young people to build a better future for themselves .
Achievements and performance
As we ended o ur 1 8 th year (30 April 202 1 ) we were well established, having provided general support for students beyond the capabilities of schools and local authorities . During the year, we have continued to provide after school music sessions at St. Gabriel's College. Students working towards their group projects in these sessions have been inspired to develop their musical expressivity. This has been very much appreciated by the school as the opportunities for young disadvantaged people have been affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the success of our music sessions at St Gabriel's, we are planning to contact other schools in the borough to keep providing opportunities to vulnerable youths.
As mentioned previously, we have also been working towards the funding and installation of facilities for the new music studio at St Gabriel's College which has now been completed.
£6,732 was allocated in year ended 30th April 2021 to provide a community music industry programme to introduce students to multiple aspects of the sector. It was not possible to deliver this programme within the financial year due to Covid-19 restrictions, so these funds have been carried over and allocated to run a music programme with charity partner St Giles Trust (SGT). SGT’s trained professionals have lived experience of the criminal justice system and help protect young people from criminal exploitation by deglamourising gangs, exposing the reality of crime and violence, and providing tools and skills that young people can utilise to make better informed lifestyle choices. The programme will include the installation of a recording studio in the charity’s drop-in centre in Coventry and studio workshops with professional producers for young people SGT has identified as aspiring to work in the music industry.
We continue to provide practical and moral support, remotely, for students in difficulties, whatever those difficulties may be. Most importantly, we assist students in finding opportunities for further education, training and employment and also provide motivation and resources for them to put their hopes and plans into action .
Financial review
The trustees have reviewed its financial performance achieved during the year, full details of which are shown on the Statement of Financial Activities on page 5 together with the accompanying notes to the statement.
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ('the free reserves') held by the charity. The charity's has scaled down its operation, and trustees believe the current level of funds maintained is sufficient to meet its expenditures.
The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and believe the current investment policy meet their requirements to generate income.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which Youth Education Support Services London is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021
Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
The balance of reserves as at 30 April 2021 are £23,773. The trustees' believe the balance of reserves at 30 April 2021, along with obtaining further funding, are sufficient for the charity to continue activities in the forthcoming years.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, the memorandum and articles of association , and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
