Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE BOARD

The Trustee Board presents its annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Organisation

The Group operates out of a number of centres across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire – and RAF Bases further afield.

The Executive Team consists of the Chief Executive and Executive Directors who report to the Trustee Board and the relevant sub committees covering the main functions.

The national structure of the YMCA Federation allows for further support and national policy development.

Trustee Board

The Trustee Board is responsible for the overall governance of the Group. Those who have served during the year are set out on page 3. They hold a dual role of being trustees of a registered charity as well as being directors for the purposes of the Companies Act.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, Trustees serve for a three-year term. At every Annual General Meeting, members of the Trustee Board who have served a term of three years since their appointment or reappointment retire from office. A retiring member of the Trustee Board shall be eligible for re-election for a second and third full-term, but then having served a third term, must stand down as an elected member for a period of one year. Trustees only serving for a maximum of nine years is our stated policy but in extremis could be overruled by the Board of Trustees with explanation provided.

During the period since the last report, Bishop Richard Atkinson, Richard Capaldi, Sarah Chaudhry and Elizabeth Knight were welcomed as a new trustee. Also, Max Beddard, John Knight and Javier Uriarte stood down as Trustees. A Trustee Board Chair review and feedback process was facilitated by the Chair of the Governance & People Committee.

Strategic management

The Trustee Board is responsible for setting an appropriate strategy for the Group. It also ensures that relevant performance measures are in place.

During the year the Trustee Board:

The Trustee Board is represented on the Early Childhood Partnership Trustee Board and Signpost Trustee Board (from 1 April 2022).

The Trustee Board utilises a committee structure to undertake some of the detailed work of supervising the activities of the Group in between Trustee Board meetings. The structure is set out in the following matrix:

In addition, Sal Thirlway (Chair) and Alan Victor served on the Early Childhood Partnership trustee board.

Recruitment of members of the Trustee Board

Members of the Trustee Board are recruited by diverse means with sources including:

The Governance and People Committee agrees a standard role description for trustees. All trustees are interviewed by a panel of Board members. Any preferred candidates initially attend a trustee meeting as observers and, if that meets the expectations of all, then co-option follows. New Trustees are inducted into the Group using an agreed framework and ongoing training is provided through a combination of: trustee updates, attendance at charity conferences / training events and bespoke training. A number of the Trustees also serve, or have served as Trustees of other charities and housing associations which broadens the available skills base and the exposure to training and best practice of the social housing and charity sectors. The Governance & People Committee regularly reviews the trustee skills matrix and identifying future needs.

Executive Management Team

The Executive Management Team, during the year, were the senior staff that managed the Group’s operations and comprised the Chief Executive who was supported by Director of Operations, Director of Family Services, Director of Business Development and the Director of Corporate Services. They acted within the authority given by the Trustee Board.

Employees

The Group recognises the strength of its employees who are committed to the objectives that serve the best interests of its residents and service users. The Group shares information on its objectives, progress and activities through regular management and staff departmental meetings. In addition, an annual staff conference allows the celebration of success, the generation of ideas and positively engages with staff.

The Group is committed to equal opportunities in recruitment, retention and throughout the employee lifecycle.

Gender Pay reporting

The Charity continues to use the Living Wage Foundation’s Real Living Wage as a baseline for employees who are engaged on a permanent YMCA contract of employment. Apprentices are remunerated according to National Minimum Wage rates for workers (as opposed to the much lower apprentice rates). Colleagues covered by TUPE protections retain their existing pay frameworks in most cases. Job evaluation is used to ensure equity and mitigate risks associated with equal pay claims (of which there has been none).

For the purposes of compliance with Gender Pay Gap reporting, employees are treated as ‘male’ or ‘female’ in line with HMRC guidance. We recognise that this does not reflect the potential reality of gender identification within

6

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

our employee cohort. At the reporting snapshot date of 4 April 2022, the overall workforce split was 76% female and 24% male (2021: 73% / 27%).

The gender pay gap reporting principles demonstrate the following position as a snapshot at 4 April 2022:

These figures reflect a mixed picture. Increases in the gender pay gap headline rate reflect the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) pay review and restructure, with the three highest-paying roles at the snapshot date being held by men. Despite this, the higher proportion of females in the upper pay quartile indicates more females in higher-paying roles overall.

Since the snapshot date, reorganisation and recruitment to the ELT has resulted in a 60% / 40% male/female split (2021: 80% / 20%). At the wider Senior Leadership Team level (including ELT) the split is 56% male and 44% female (2021: 59% / 41%). These represent progress towards a more balanced leadership, although female colleagues remain under-represented at this level when compared with the overall employee population split.

Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

Good progress towards our desire to be a more inclusive organisation has been made this year, becoming a signatory of the Business in the Community “Race at Work Charter” and undertaking preparatory work to gain ISO 30415 (HR Management: Diversity & Inclusion). Investors in People reaccreditation is due in autumn 2022, however a consultative approach has been taken in 2021/22 toward refining organisational values and this will take a little time to embed through both induction processes and within policy documents. We may therefore postpone the IiP assessment until 2023, working with our assessor to demonstrate ongoing compliance in the meantime.

Compliance with taxation

The Group is committed to conducting its business with the utmost integrity, transparency and fairness, and in compliance with all relevant rules, regulations and legislation. It values its reputation for ethical behaviour, financial probity and, as a charity, it unequivocally condemns tax evasion in whatever form. The Group will not tolerate tax evasion, or the facilitation thereof, whether committed by or facilitated by staff, suppliers or funders. Moreover, the Group requires all staff to demonstrate the highest standards of honesty at all times and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken wherever tax evasion, or facilitation, has been proven.

The Group will not knowingly engage with any individual or business that does not share our commitment to the prevention of tax evasion. In pursuance of its general obligations, the Group will undertake due diligence on its suppliers to mitigate the risk of facilitation of tax evasion offences and will look to terminate any agreements with suppliers that are not committed to preventing facilitation of tax evasion in compliance with the Criminal Finances Act 2017.

Information security

The Company is committed to information security and continues to promote good and appropriate collection and use of data and information. The Company has invested in staff training, new technology and uplifted its working practices. Both One YMCA and Early Childhood Partnership have the Cyber Essentials accreditation. It is planned to uplift this to Cyber Essentials Plus by the third quarter of the next financial year. Information security is incorporated into the Company’s internal audit rolling programme.

Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Indemnity insurance

The Group’s insurance policies indemnify the Trustee Board and Officers against liability when acting for the Group providing their actions are not reckless or fraudulent.

Health and Safety

The Trustees are aware of their responsibilities on all matters relating to health and safety. The Group has prepared detailed health and safety policies and provides staff training and education on health and safety matters. The health and safety forum meet quarterly, comprising of representatives of all service areas and meetings were chaired by the Director of Operations.

The Charity continues to invest in both its people, systems and buildings. In particular:

Creditors’ payments

The Group’s aim is to pay purchase invoices within 30 days of receipt, or earlier if agreed with the supplier.

Investment powers

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Trustee Board may exercise the power to delegate to any person, company or other organisation any of the Group’s powers of investment, administration or management of all or any part of the money and investments of the Group. Accordingly, the funds held as investments by the Group were managed on behalf of the Trustees by CCLA Investment Management Ltd. The Group has continued to adopt a conservative investment policy that seeks to balance capital preservation and achieving an appropriate return. The cyclical Investment Strategy review process was completed during the year with particular attention being paid to the ethical basis of investment management.

Public Benefit

The Trustee Board held service users at the heart of its approach to formulating the strategic objectives and associated strategies. In doing so, the Trustee Board referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when planning for the future. Through the work that the Group undertakes in its service areas, it delivers public benefit and serves a wide range of people, many of whom are vulnerable.

Complaints

Our clear and simple complaints policy is issued to all residents and available to all other service users. All complaints received are monitored by the Chief Executive to help ensure an appropriate and timely resolution and also to help identify any recurring issues that may require a different approach.

Donations

During the year, the Group made no donations (2021: £286,100-including £150,000 to ECP), choosing to prioritise its own charitable activities on behalf of the most vulnerable.

Going Concern

In light of the uncertainties arising from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic the Trustees reviewed the group’s financial position and financial forecasts for 2022/23 and the following three years, to test how those uncertainties might affect the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Executive produced a number of scenarios including the positive, realistic and severe scenarios modelling income and expenditure as well as

8

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

cashflows over the foreseeable future. The Resources Committee continues to scrutinise financial information including cashflow forecasts to ensure the resilience of the Charity.

Specifically, Trustees reviewed the Group’s levels of investment, reserves, cash, the pipeline of new income sources and the systems of financial control and risk management. As a result of this review, the Trustees believe that the group is well placed to manage external, operational and financial risks successfully.

Accordingly, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a consequence, they continue to support the going concern basis in preparing financial statements

Reserves Policy

Reserves that are unrestricted funds held by the Group should be sufficient to meet all payment obligations and to contribute to the Group fulfilling its aims and purposes. The target level of free reserves is determined annually, by the Trustees upon recommendation from the Resources Committee and must reflect the overall objectives of the Group’s long-term Financial Strategy and other plans.

The Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds should be classified into two categories:

The reserves as at 31 March 2022 were as follows:

Reserves
Housing property revaluation reserve
Revenue reserve
Restricted reserve
Total unrestricted funds (revenue reserve)		 £
5,316,210
10,947,385
131,301
16,394,896

When taking these reserves into account, the revaluation reserve relates to accounting adjustments which are not cash based. The revenue reserve amounted to £10,947,385 of which free reserves total £5,040,018.

In determining the level of unrestricted funds held as free reserves to cover working balances and payment obligations, the Trustees have considered the following matters:

Accordingly, the Trustees consider it prudent to retain working balances of £3million in cash and/or readily realisable unit trust investments that are not designated or earmarked in order to meet unforeseen risks or obligations. The Trustees are content with the current level of reserves.

Risk Management

The Audit & Risk Committee has delegated authority from the Trustee Board to ensure that an active risk management process is in place and forms part of the ongoing organisational activity. During the year, the Trustees reviewed its risk appetite along with its strategic risk register. The register identifies the types of risks the Group faces and prioritises them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. The strategic risk register is a standing item at each Audit & Risk Committee and the Trustee Board reviews the strategic risks on a regular basis. The Trustees are satisfied that the Group’s internal financial controls comply in all material respects with the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission and Regulator for Social Housing and has established a separate internal audit function (carried out by an independent internal audit firm) to review risks on a rotational basis. The principal risk affecting the Group continues to be the uncertain external economic environment (compounded by the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic for some services) that could adversely

9

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

affect income and the cost of the capital/development programme. The Trustees confirm that they have identified and understand the risks to which the Group is subject and that they are being actively managed.

During the year, the Trustees have undertaken a financial strategy review, considered various operating and sensitivity testing scenarios as detailed in the strategic report. These are reviewed on a periodic basis as part of Audit & Risk and Resources Committee work programmes.

Trustees have asked the Executive Leadership Team to develop and implement a stress testing framework in the next financial year in line with the Charity’s growth programme under Mission 25.

Internal Controls Assurance

The Trustees acknowledge their overall responsibility for establishing and maintaining the whole system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness.

The system of internal control is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and to provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group is ongoing and has been in place throughout the year commencing 1 April 2021 up to the date of approval of the report and financial statements.

Key elements of the control framework include:

A fraud register is maintained and is reviewed by the Audit & Risk Committee on a regular basis. During the year, one instance of fraudulent activity of less than £500 was identified. This was fully investigated in line with our fraud response procedure outlined in our financial regulations policy with findings reported to the Audit and Risk Committee.

The Board cannot delegate ultimate responsibility for the systems of internal control, but has delegated authority to the Audit & Risk Committee to regularly review the effectiveness of the system of internal control for the Group and the annual report of the internal auditor and has reported its findings to the Board.

The Audit & Risk Committee monitored the internal audit plan for the Group throughout the year.

Code of Governance

The Trustee Board is pleased to report that the Group complies with National Housing Federation’s Code of Governance (2021) and continues to review its position against this standard. During the course of the year, the Audit & Risk Committee reviewed the compliance framework as well as approving the annual review of Financial Regulations and governance arrangements. As an evolving organisation, the Group will continue to review and develop its governance in order to best serve its beneficiaries.

In accordance with the above Code, Trustees must stand down as an elected member of the Board for a period of at least one year in the event they wish to continue to serve as a Trustee. This applies to one of our Trustees. As part of our commitment to the Code of Governance, we will highlight in our annual accounts any area where

10

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

we do not comply with the Code. This year, while we ended the year with two areas of minor non-compliance, both areas were remediated prior to this statement being agreed.

Annual review of governance and viability standards

The Trustees have reviewed the governance and viability standards and confirm that the Group has complied with them.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW AND STRATEGIC REPORT

Introduction

The report and financial accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 sets out the activities and achievements of the Charity.

Principal Activity

The Group’s principal activity is that of the provision of supported accommodation for single men and women who are in conditions of need. In addition, the Group continues to deliver services to people of all ages offering the opportunity to take part in: children and family services, health & wellbeing, therapeutic & specialist support, community activities and youth work.

The Group’s mission is to enable people to develop their full potential in body, mind and spirit. The mission is inspired by, and faithful to, Christian values to create a supportive and energising community that is open to all, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The 2021/22 year continued to be impacted by the COVID19 situation, however despite this the Group continued to deliver vital services to local people and communities – further expanding its reach and impact.

As well as major expansion in our support and accommodation services to homeless individuals, Trustees were particularly delighted to see the success commencement of the international Airplay contract, delivered with partner YMCAs across England, Scotland and Wales.

The Trustee Board supports the activities of the charity and the way that they can maximise the resources available for delivering the Group’s objectives and serving beneficiaries.

Financial review

The Group returned an operating surplus on the Group’s activities of £122,021 (2021: £969,792).

Total comprehensive income for the year (surplus) of £322,177 (2021: £1,521,986) was recorded for the Group after taking into account unrealised investment gain of £261,644 (2021: £542,898) during the year.

The variance between the two years on a consolidated basis relates to:

At the start of the year, Trustees were especially grateful to receive a generous property legacy from one of the founding Trustees of YMCA Central Herts (a Group company), which provided a welcome buffer against the

12

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

financial upheavals within the year and allowed the charity to make a greater investment in community-critical activities, rather than needing to make changes in order to achieve a stronger year end result.

The Group has continued to invest in front line service delivery to serve some of the most vulnerable people in the local community.

On an ongoing basis, the Trustee Board is committed to achieving a surplus operating budget. With regard to the 2022/23 financial year, a surplus budget has been set.

The Group closely monitors its banking covenants and credit rating. Throughout the year, it was compliant with all covenant obligations.

Housing metrics

The Group has reviewed its metrics in accordance with the Value for Money Code of Practice. The core housing information is set out in the following table.

*The gearing ratio is shown as a negative as the amount of cash exceeds the loan balance.

As a result of a successful property development programme which has attracted and continues to attract public sector funding, significant additional borrowing will be undertaken in the next financial year which will affect the interest cover and gearing ratios.

Value for money

One of the Group’s objectives is to provide social housing accommodation and support services to meet the needs of its residents. The aim is to achieve a balance between reasonable cost and good quality. Value for money means:

Overall occupancy for the Housing Division (all services) in 2021/22 was
88.1% versus 95.8% for the 2020/21 year. This substantially reduced
position was a direct result of (a) needing to adapt new services at pace
to meet emerging COVID risks amongst highly vulnerable cohorts, and
(b) local authorities retaining certain lower needs cohorts in out of area
hotel type accommodation. As we exit COVID and the need to
continually adapt services to meet emerging need reduces occupancy is
forecast to return topre COVID levels.

levels of bad debt were experienced at Welwyn Garden City as a direct
result of a more challenging (behaviours) cohort, who made an open
and conscious effort to exploit certain legal (non-eviction) policies
duringthe COVIDperiod.

scaling to meet local
need and quality
assessment		 The overall Housing Division is now a highly effective team offering a
standardised set of individual services and asset elements, all aligned to
the Dynamic Pathway to Independence. There are 5+1 distinct types of
supported housing, ranging from high-complex (eg substance misuse
and mental health services) through to step-down and move-on
accommodation. Having the standardised service approach greatly
supports scaling and mobilisation at pace when emerging needs and
areas of need are identified. It further assists the management team in
assessing qualityand ensuringconsistent delivery.

to enable an

service and shared
resource approach
to delivering best
value		 Application of a more geographically based service area for individual
managers, rather than site by site, has enabled efficient use of
resources (e.g. staff) on a shared-resource and amalgamation-service
basis. Specific gains being the redeployment of staff where sickness or
leave would usually require agency resourcing. The embedding of the
internal property services team continues with ongoing rationalisation
of supply chains to ensure best value and maximised asset
enhancement and improvement.

has enabled rapid turnaround of voids and rolling programme of
improvement e.g. psychologically informed environment colourways
and improved green agenda (e.g. LED lighting). This all alongside
substantial growth and the introduction of new assets to support the
meeting of distinct local need in key areas. Efforts remain ongoing to

almost all stages of the DPI. With commissioners from multiple new
geographical areas, across Herts, Beds and Bucks, specifically

Early Childhood Partnership
Children’s Centre services
Effective delivery of
the Children’s
Centre contract		 Successfully deliver
the contract		 The budget maximised the deployment of financial resources for
beneficiaries.
The children’s centre contract is underpinned by a series of key
performance indicators (KPI) sitting within four performance areas.
These KPIs are regularly monitored by the Trustee Board, Council and
managers. The team members are clear about which KPIs their activities
contribute to, and they understand the links between the KPIs and
achieving good outcomes for our children and families
The design and delivery of the timetable of activities is informed by
local available data. There is an appropriate split between universal and
targeted activities. For example, ECP deliver Parents as First Teachers
(PAFT) as the parenting programme of choice and this is delivered as a
targeted service, with the addition of PAFT Connections as a universal
group activity.
The universal team offers Baby Brasseries, a daily breast-feeding
support session, weekly ante natal classes for first time parents (BBB)
and one to one support ante-natally and post-natally. The staff work
hard to ensure a high-quality universal service offer is available both
face to face and remotely.

professionals to identify perpetrators and refer them to our services.
Other grant funded

through our My Choice or Liberty programmes. We have a bespoke
service for male victims as well, which provides specialised support
sessions.
Our play therapy work has been extended to provide additional funding
across Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough for children who have
witnessed domestic abuse. These generally take place in schools and
have created new opportunities for a member of staff to train as a play
therapist.

The Group’s on-going commitment to value for money and continuous improvement will remain a high priority given the challenges to income streams that every social housing provider faces and the need to keep service users at the heart of decision making. Specific on-going activities will include:

In conjunction with the Group’s strategic objectives, the 2022/23 value for money approach will provide the foundation for continuous improvement and efficiency developments.

External Influences

As a diverse charity delivering community services, the Group is influenced by Government policies towards social housing, welfare and voluntary sectors. It is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing which takes precedence for all areas of its operation over the Charity Commission which monitors its charitable activity. The Group is also regulated by Ofsted and takes its Safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. The Trustee Board has agreed its strategic objectives with a view to maintaining the financial health, on-going relevance and viability of each area of its activities as well as ensuring the Group’s community impact.

Objectives and Strategy

The charitable objects of the Group arise from its acceptance of the Basis of Union of the YMCA of England, Ireland and Wales, adopted by the British YMCA Assembly held in Birmingham in 1973, which are:

Various strategies are employed to achieve the charity’s objectives within service areas of:

Achievements and performance

Individual services operate differently because of the various regulatory and monitoring frameworks that are in place to accord to standards set by the Regulator of Social Housing, Charity Commission and Ofsted. Key performance indicators tend to be set within contracts agreed with commissioners such as County/unitary Councils (Housing Related Support, Family Support Centres, and Children’s Centres), Local Councils and other funders (Trusts & Foundations etc.). Performance against these is monitored on a regular basis.

In relation to the strategic objectives and despite the COVID19 situation the group has made a substantial positive impact upon many lives during the year. We have supported 119,590 local people to belong, contribute and thrive in their communities, specifically including:

Looking to the future

The Group is committed to developing a strong and vibrant family of organisations in order to serve its residents, beneficiaries and the local community. In doing so, it will:

The Group has continued to adopt the framework for delivering services so that both social housing and nonsocial housing activities are kept in balance. The funding framework diagram set out below details the various components.

Youth work activities are a vital contribution to vibrant and sustainable communities. They provide a sense of belonging for the young people who take part as well as helping to reduce the risk of family breakdown and/or youth homelessness. Youth work is a core part of the Group’s activities and is ancillary to social housing objectives.

The youth work offer is very much a part of the wider responsibilities and obligations of being a local housing provider. It enables us to support the community, add value to the neighbourhood, and proactively tackle / prevent anti-social behaviour.

23

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

The scope and scale of any future increases in youth work, or other ancillary community activities, will be proportionate to local need and aligned to the regulatory expectations around value for money and ensuring the protection of social housing assets.

With regard to the funding framework:

The Group is committed to solid financial planning and setting surplus budgets to ensure that activities are sustainable and will actively serve beneficiaries in the medium to long term. The Company will invest in new social housing services where it is prudent to do so. Furthermore, it will take steps in the event that any services suffer from economic, social or market downturns.

Future of social housing

The social housing strategy now sits firmly in the overarching #Mission25 strategy to double our impact by 2025. There are several key concepts in the mission that have specific relevance to our Social Housing activities and these include:

Each of these concepts will see us deliver a staff and resident led improvement in the social impact our social housing activities deliver. That being both in quantity and quality terms, seeing us double the number of units we are able to provide, double the positive outcomes and opportunities for our residents and have the impact our activities have on the environment around us.

ONE YMCA

Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Several key redevelopment / development activities sit at the heart of the strategy, each with varying degrees of secured (or in final stages of negotiation) public sector funding. That funding being an enabler to expand the overall length / reach of the Dynamic Pathway to Independence.

The most notable of the development projects being the Peartree Hostel redevelopment in Welwyn Garden City. This has been progressing steadily over recent years, with planning permission having been awarded in October 2020. The project is now programmed to commence in the final quarter of 2022/23, pending final validation of procurement and land sale (cash receipt) elements. The headline programme currently sees practical completion scheduled for the second quarter of 2024/25. Oversight and scrutiny of the project being provided via the Property Development Committee (PDC).

Ongoing efforts to maintain and improve social housing performance (best value) in both occupancy and rent realisation will be maintained. This will be aligned with an increased focus on team training and ongoing engagement with the Insight / KPI dashboard systems.

Resident involvement

The inclusion of resident feedback and the ‘lived experience’ voice sits at the heart of our activities and is further enhanced through the activities of #Mission25, our strategy to double out impact over the next five years. There are a number of concepts contained in the mission, but the most relevant to this topic being:

Within these concepts, and actively underpinned by the move to mobilise the Digital Support Journey, there is a specific focus to ‘connect’ stakeholders from across the organisation. This will bring together staff, volunteers and residents from all areas with the specific aim of eliciting feedback, opinion and suggestions.

Initial examples include workshops relating to the creation of a standardised Psychologically Informed Environment (PiE) colourway strategy to support the #BetterPlaces concept. Other input has helped shape and refine our new Intensive (rough-sleeper / complex needs) services, both in living environment and support aspect terms. That input being pivotal in the overall DPI becoming the preferred model of operation across Hertfordshire.

Throughout the next year we will maintain periodic / structured meetings led by #Connecting Together and personal engagement sessions, site based resident meetings and specific training & education workshops, all led by the housing teams.

Alongside this our overarching commitment, via the Chaplaincy Team, to attract, train and embed volunteers will remain a constant. This extra resource provides a completely different voice to the support / resident journey and offers considerable extra value.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks that may prevent the Group achieving its objectives are considered and reviewed by the Trustee Board, Audit & Risk Committee and Executive Management Team on a periodic basis as part of the corporate planning processes. The risks are recorded and assessed in terms of their impact and probability. Major risks, presenting the greatest threats to the Company are reported to Trustee Board every six months. The strategic risk register is reviewed at every Audit & Risk Committee meeting. In addition, people related risks are reviewed by the Governance & People Committee every six months. The Group’s major risks over the last 12 months related to:

▪ The impact of Covid19,

25

ONE YMCA

Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

The principal financial risks relate to loss of income and/or contracts and development programme cost escalation. Whilst the Audit & Risk Committee reviews controls and standards, the Resources Committee proactively monitors and challenges the financial and service performance of the Group.

The principal property and information risks relate to systems, process and monitoring. Further investments are being made in a new information system for safety compliance monitoring and reporting, which is discussed regularly in a special forum and overseen by a dedicated Trustee. Ongoing investments on information security projects and checks remain paramount.

The principal people risk relates to safeguarding and ensuring that the best interests of beneficiaries are protected, which is discussed regularly in a special forum and overseen by a dedicated Trustee.

With the external support and facilitation by Campbell Tickell, the Trustee Board has refined its understanding of its strategic risk appetite. This has previously been discussed at Audit & Risk Committee and was discussed in a strategy workshop. The product of this was a new strategic risk appetite map approved 2020/21, which continues to inform our decisions.

On an annual basis, the Group reviews its key policies and controls frameworks. These included the financial regulations as well as the Code of Governance, committee terms of reference, code of conduct, safeguarding, fraud, whistleblowing, health & safety, UK GDPR, equal opportunities and risk management policies.

The risk management and internal controls arrangements are described in more detail in the Report of the Trustee Board on page 9.

Borrowings

At year end, the Group had long term borrowings of £4,400,128 (2021: £1,528,168) which are secured against income generating assets: the supported housing hostels. In approving the Operating and Financial Review, the Trustees are also approving the Strategic Report in their capacity as directors of the Group.

The Operating and Financial Review and the Strategic Report were approved by the Trustee Board on 21 September 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

Independent auditor’s report to the members and trustees of One YMCA

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of One YMCA for the year-ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the consolidated and company statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated and company statements of changes in reserves, the consolidated and company balance sheets, the consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Trustee Board (which includes the directors’ report), and the Operating and Financial Review and Strategic Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustee Board, the Operating and Financial Review or the Strategic Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustee Board set out on page 11, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the regulation of registered providers of social housing, Ofsted, and Health and Safety regulation, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, and we considered other factors such as tax compliance.

28

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to areas of estimation uncertainty and manual accounting journals. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

NOTES TO THE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 22

1. Status

The Company is a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Act 2006 registration number 4430743, a registered charity number 1102301 and registered with the Regulator of Social Housing as a social housing provider registration number H4418. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The registered office is Charter House, Charter Place, Watford, Hertfordshire WD17 2RT.

Each member of the Company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required (not exceeding £1.00) to the assets of the Company in the event of the same being wound up while he or she is a member or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member for payment of the debt and liabilities of the Company contracted before he or she ceases to be a member and of the costs, charges and expenses of winding up and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves. If upon the winding up or dissolution of the Company there remains, after the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities, any property whatsoever, the same shall not be paid or distributed among the members of the Company but shall be transferred to The National Council of Young Men’s Christian Association (Incorporated) for its general purposes.

2. Principal accounting policies

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: accounting by registered social housing providers 2018 (“SORP”) and comply with the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing 2019.

In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, an area of judgement relates to the provision for dilapidations as disclosed in 2(p). No other judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year. No complex financial instruments are held.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction values unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Those assets measured at fair value are re-measured at each balance sheet date.

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking of Early Childhood Partnership, drawn up to 31 March 2022. Profits or losses on intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in accordance with FRS 102.

The Group’s business activities, its current financial position and factors likely to affect its future development are set out within the Trustees’ Report. On this basis, the Trustee Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements. No material uncertainties exist.

Turnover

Turnover comprises rental and service charge income receivable in the year and other services at invoiced value (excluding VAT) of goods and services supplied in the year.

34

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

NOTES TO THE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Revenue grants are receivable when the conditions for receipts of agreed grant funding have been met. Charges for support services funded by Housing Related Support and Family & Children’s Centres are recognised as they fall due under the contractual arrangements with Administering Authorities.

Where an asset is acquired at undervalue a notional grant is recognised in respect of the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the asset. The trustees determine the fair value based on the available data including external valuations.

(e) Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular categories they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Support and other central costs have been apportioned to each activity on the basis of turnover and staff numbers.

(f)

Debtors and creditors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment and short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Housing properties

Housing properties are principally properties available for rent. The properties at Peartree Lane, Welwyn Garden City and Charter House, Watford were revalued upon the implementation of FRS102 and SORP. The Company elected to measure housing properties on the date of transition at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date. The valuation is based upon an Existing Use Value for Social Housing (EUV-SH) basis by an independent professional advisor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveys to undertake valuations.

Housing properties are stated at cost less depreciation, the cost of future additions being the cost of acquiring land and buildings and expenditure incurred in respect to improvements.

Work to existing properties which replace a component that has been treated separately for depreciation purposes, along with those works that result in an increase in net rental income over the lives of the properties, thereby enhancing the economic benefits of the assets, are capitalised as improvements.

(h)

Housing properties and depreciation

The Company separately identifies the major components that comprise its housing properties, and charges depreciation, so as to write down the cost of each component to its estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis, over its estimated useful economic life.

The Company depreciates the major components of its housing properties at the following annual rates:

Component
Structure (Leased)
Structure
Roofs
Windows
Kitchens
Bathrooms
Heating
Lifts		 Useful economic life
Residue of lease
80 years
30 years
20 years
20 years
30 years
20 years
15 years

35

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

NOTES TO THE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Where the unexpired lease term is shorter than the longest component life envisaged, the unexpired term of the lease is adopted as the useful economic life.

(i)

Other tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided evenly on the cost of other tangible fixed assets to write them down to their estimated residual values over their expected useful lives. The principal annual rates used for other assets are:

Component
Non-Housing Leasehold improvements
Fixture and fittings
Motor Vehicles
ICT		 Useful economic life
Over the term of the lease
5 years
5 years
3 - 7 years (depending upon items)

Rentals payable under the operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The benefits of lease incentives entered into after the date of transition to FRS 102 are recognised in income and expenditure over the lease period.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102 section 35 to continue to treat incentives received on leases entered into before the date of transition on the same basis as at the date of transition.

(k) Pensions

Hertfordshire County Council Pension Fund

The Company is a participating employer in the Hertfordshire County Council Pension Fund (HCCPF) in respect of employees already in the scheme who transferred from other admitted local authority bodies. The scheme is a multi-employer defined benefit scheme and the Company’s share of the results of the scheme is shown within the accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

For the HCCPF, scheme assets are measured at fair values. Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method and are discounted at appropriate high quality corporate bond rates. The net surplus or deficit is presented separately from other net assets on the balance sheet. A net surplus is recognised only to the extent that it is recoverable by the Company.

The current service cost and costs from settlements and curtailments are charged against operating surplus. Past service costs are recognised in the current reporting period. Interest is calculated on the net defined benefit liability. Remeasurements are reported in other comprehensive income.

YMCA Pension Plan

The Company participated in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for employees of YMCAs in England, Scotland and Wales, which was closed to new members and accruals on 30 April 2007. Due to insufficient information, the plan's actuary has advised that it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities relating to the company.

As described in note 18 the Company has a contractual obligation to make pension deficit payments over the period to April 2029, accordingly this is shown as a liability in these accounts. In addition, the company is required to contribute £28k pa (2021: £26k pa) to the operating expenses of the Pension Plan and these costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as made.

36

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

NOTES TO THE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Group Personal Pension Plan (defined contribution)

The Company also makes contributions to a group personal pension plan (defined contribution) provided by Aviva which is open to all employees.

Social Housing Grant (SHG) is receivable from Homes England as a contribution towards the capital cost of housing schemes. The Company has taken advantage of transitional relief for deemed cost and treated all SHG grant on transition under the performance model in accordance with SORP. Any subsequent SHG grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful life of the housing property structure and, where applicable, its individual components (excluding land) under the accruals model.

SHG due from Homes England or received in advance is included as a current asset or liability. SHG is subordinated to the repayment of loans by agreement with Homes England. SHG released on sale of a property may be repayable but is normally available to be recycled and is credited to a Recycled Capital Grant Fund and included in the balance sheet in creditors.

Where individual components are disposed of and this does not create a relevant event for recycling purposes, any grant which has been allocated to the component is released to the income and expenditure account. Upon disposal of the associated property, the Company is required to recycle these proceeds; as such a contingent liability is disclosed to reflect this.

Other Grants

Other grants are receivable from local authorities and other organisations and are accounted for under the accruals model. Capital grants are recognised in income over the expected useful life of the asset. Grants in respect of revenue expenditure are credited to the income and expenditure in the same period as the expenditure to which they relate.

Investments

Investments held as fixed assets are valued at mid-point of the quotation in the Stock Exchange daily official list. Any movements in the fair value of investments are recognised in income and expenditure.

Interest Free Loans

Long term loans carrying no interest are disclosed at amortised cost using the market rate of similar debt instruments – the effective interest method.

Provisions for Liabilities

Provision has been made for expected property costs at the end of the leases held by the Early Childhood Partnership subsidiary. This is based on the lease terms, management’s assessment of the property condition and external evidence supporting the likely costs. This estimation involves a level of judgment and will be reassessed annually.

(q) Holiday pay accrual

The group recognises an accrual for annual leave accrued by employees as a result of services rendered in the current period, and which employees are entitled to carry forward and use within the next 12 months. The accrual is measured at the salary cost payable for the period of absence.

37

ONE YMCA Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022

NOTES TO THE REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

(r) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. The revaluation of properties is reported separately in the property revaluation reserve. This is the difference between the fair value of social housing properties and the historical cost carrying value.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

The scheme results produce a fair value of employer assets greater than the present value of the fund
liabilities. The resulting surplus has not been recognised as an asset in the balance sheet as at 31st March
2022 or March 2021.As a result, remeasurements of £nil (2021: £nil) were recognised as actuarial
movements rather than the full £10k.

Pensions – YMCA Pension Plan

The company participated in a contributory pension plan providing defined benefits based on final pensionable pay for employees of YMCAs in England, Scotland and Wales. The assets of the YMCA Pension Plan are held separately from those of <> and at the year end these were invested in the Mercer Dynamic De-risking Solution, 63% matching portfolio and 37% in the growth portfolio and Schroder (property units only).

The most recent completed three year valuation was as at 1 May 2020. The assumptions used which have the most significant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets held before and after retirement of 2.59% and 1.09% respectively, the increase in pensions in payment of 2.99% (for RPI capped at 5% p.a.), and the average life expectancy from normal retirement age (of 65) for a current male pensioner of 22.0 years, female 24.4 years, and 23.7 years for a male pensioner, female 26.1 years, retiring in 20 years’ time. The result of the valuation showed that the actuarial value of the assets was £146.1m, which represented 79% of the benefits that had accrued to members.

The Pension Plan was closed to new members and future service accrual with effect from 30 April 2007. With the removal of the salary linkage for benefits all employed deferred members became deferred members as from 1 May 2011.

The valuation prepared as at 1 May 2020 showed that the YMCA Pension Plan had a deficit of £39 million. The company has been advised that it will need to make monthly contributions of £11.6k from 1 May 2022. This amount is based on the current actuarial assumptions (as outlined above) and may vary in the future as a result of actual performance of the Pension Plan. Agreed future deficit contributions have been discounted using a rate of 3% (2021: 3%). The current recovery period is 7 years commencing 1st May 2022.
