STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Club’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Risk management

The Trustees recognise their responsibilities with regard to risk management and to this end have endeavoured to ensure that the Club has adequate procedures and strategies that can monitor, eliminate or mitigate the risks faced. The Trustees have assessed the significance and likelihood of the risks to which the Club might be exposed, in particular those related to the operations and financial management of the Club, and they are satisfied that the Club has appropriate systems of control which mitigate exposure to the key risks that it faces.

HISTORY

The Club was founded in November 1866 in Market Street, Soho to provide hostel accommodation for young men who had come to London in search of employment.

The Club’s premises were destroyed during the Blitz, and after the war, the Club raised fresh funds and moved to premises in Great Peter Street. In September 1984, following expansion, the Duke of Edinburgh opened the Club’s current purpose-built premises in Old Pye Street in which the Club holds the freehold interest.

OBJECTIVES

The objects, as set out in the Club’s Memorandum of Association, are to promote the mental, physical and spiritual well-being of young people resident or working in the City of Westminster, and the neighbouring district by the provision of a social, educational and sports Club.

The Club provides an evening Club, external residential opportunities and regular weekend sporting activities.

The Club encourages young people from all backgrounds to participate in structured programmes in an environment that engenders personal responsibility, self-respect and respect for others.

MISSION STATEMENT

St Andrew’s Club enriches young lives by providing young people of diverse backgrounds, from five to adulthood, with a safe, inspiring environment and an engaging programme of activities designed around the interests and needs of our members, in which to develop a sense of belonging, confidence, respect and purpose to help fulfil their potential.

ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Staff Training and Development

St Andrew’s Club Youth Development programme provides learning and training for older Members who want to gain hands-on work experience. Members aged 15+ can help as volunteers one evening each week, to develop their practical skills and work experience, and they may then progress to a paid staff role. They are supported to gain essential qualifications including Levels 1 and 2 in Youth Work, Level 1 in Football, and Level 1 in Mentoring Young People. They gain essential work experience which can help them secure employment in the future.

Over the last 12 months, ten young people took part in the Youth Development Programme, including three new participants. Seven gained a qualification, including in youth work and sports coaching. Over 65% of our current youth workers were former Members – this programme ensures the club remains rooted in the local community we serve and provides a clear pathway of employment to young people.

A particular success of the last 12 months has been Amina, a former Member who took on the role of Deputy Youth Club Manager. Amina joined the Youth Development Programme seven years ago and has made make huge strides in her development, completing her level 3 Youth Worker qualifications last summer. Amina demonstrates that the Youth Development program provides transformative opportunities with long-lasting outcomes for young people.

“St Andrew’s has been part of my life since I was 12. I was first a member gaining new opportunities at the Club, I volunteered for my Duke of Edinburgh award at the Club, gained employment here at 16 and through hard work and support, have become Deputy Youth Club Manager”.

– Amina, Deputy Club Manager

The wider staff team were also encouraged to undertake additional training and qualifications which over the last 12 months have included safeguarding, first aid and fire marshal refreshers, food hygiene level 2 and minute taking courses.

Community Partnerships

The Club continued to work closely with other agencies to be able to provide a wide range of specialist services to ensure we reach vulnerable young people. We work with the Integrated Gangs and Exploitation Unit and the Bessborough Family Hub to support vulnerable young people and their families. Having access to our services, especially during the holidays, often offers respite to families who find unstructured times difficult to manage due to work commitments or financial reasons. Many of the families who have been introduced to the Club by Community partners now attend regular sessions.

St Andrew’s Annual Report 2022-2023

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Over the past 12 months, the Club committed to supporting young people with their mental health. Through our partnership with MIND, a specialist Mental Health Youth Worker attended the Club once a week to make sure young people at St Andrew’s felt supported and cared for. They worked with young people to develop open communication and help raise awareness of mental health among young people, encouraging understanding and removing the stigma around mental health. The Club’s Mental Health Youth Worker also offered one-on-one support for young people.

Over the last year, 70 young people have attended mental health workshops at St Andrew’s and four young people regularly received 1:1 support with the Club’s Mental Health Youth Worker.

Cost of Living Response

Food Support: Many of the children at the Club come from families on low income who have been impacted by the cost-of-living crisis, particularly rising food prices. From January 2023, the Club responded by ensuring that our members are provided with a hot and nutritious meal at afterschool activities five days a week and during the school holiday programme, 25 - 40 children per day were supported with a warm meal.

Extended hours: At the beginning of 2023, in response to increasing heating costs, St Andrew’s took the decision to open a week earlier than usual after the Christmas break. From 2-6 of January, the Club opened two hours each day to offer Members and their families a warm space to come and enjoy a warm meal.

School Uniform Bank : The club opened a School Uniform Bank, to provide children to with new or good condition second-hand uniforms. For families struggling on low incomes the purchase of a new uniforms, We are partnering with other local charities for referrals, including the Cardinal Hume Centre, to ensure we can support as many children as possible via the Uniform Bank.

ACTIVITIES

Sports and Physical Activity

Sports and Physical Activity was a vital part of St Andrew’s offer over the last year. There were sports activities happening 7 days a week. The Club fielded four football teams, from our mini ballers team (aged 5-9) through to a men’s team. We offered mixed boxing and basketball sessions twice a week, and for those who preferred to take part in less traditional activities, we regularly offered roller discos, played Zorb football and archery. The Club’s community Gym is available to both under and over 18’s. This continues to ensure the Club is able to support the wider community. The sports programme encouraged teamwork, a healthy lifestyle, builds friendships and a sense of community.

St Andrew’s Annual Report 2022-2023

Cookery

Cooking was a hugely popular activity among Members. Every week, we ran two structured weekly food-based projects to ensure that young people learnt key cooking and budgeting skills. Each week, the children prepared a meal of their choice and learnt key skills including: food hygiene; cutting and chopping; nutritional information; meal planning and food budgeting. These sessions helped members to grow in confidence and feel a sense of ownership and contribution to the food served the Club. Each week, up to 25 young people took part in cooking workshops.

Homework Help

Homework Help ensured we supported our Members with their education. The Club offered nightly drop-in sessions to support in any areas where young people feel they needed a little help. Homework Support is open to all Members and is a fantastic resource for them to get help with their schoolwork from Youth Workers they know and trust. For some of our parents whose first language is not English, this gave them an avenue to help their children gain the same level of homework support as other children in their class.

Skills-Based Learning Workshops

Skills-Based Learning Workshops are designed to help young people develop a wide range of skills to compliment the school curriculum. We delivered around two projects running every week. Over the last year we have offered a variety of projects: Electric Car Building with Roy (Royal Engineer); Hair Care; Creative Arts and an Understanding Puberty project, delivered in partnership with the local school nurse team. Over 50 young people learnt new skills as part of these projects.

Arts and Crafts

Arts and Crafts continued to be a regular part of our programme. These sessions encourage creativity and were young people led, meaning that young people could request activities they like such as canvas art or making stained glass windows. Graffiti art is consistently one of our most popular sessions.

School Holiday projects

St Andrew’s ran a holiday programme over Easter, Summer, Christmas and all the half terms, offering activities and opportunities that members may not have access to without the club.

Page 8

St Andrew’s Annual Report 2022-2023

Residential trips

The holiday programme also included residential trips where young people enjoy new experiences and learn new skills. During the October 2022 half term break, 35 Members of the Club joined a residential trip to Hindleap Warren Outdoor Centre- where they took part in new challenge activities such as rock climbing and raft building.

By providing experiences outside the Club and opportunities to experience nature, St Andrew’s expanded our Members’ life experiences and pushed them out of their comfort zone to help them develop self-confidence. They learnt key skills such iS as teamwork, communication, and confidence. These residential trips provide the foundation for young people to continue their personal development and become responsible and capable adults.

FUNDRAISING AND FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Key events during 2022/23

Christmas Big Give : The Club once again took part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge in December 2022. Thirty-four donors had their gift matched, helping raise £11,757 including Gift Aid. The funds raised paid for the Hindleap Residential Trip for 35 young people.

Page 9

St Andrew’s Annual Report 2022-2023

stunning Sanctum Soho hosted the evening, as over 70 guests enjoyed an evening of delicious food, unique auction prizes and live entertainment. The evening raised over £15,000. A huge thanks to Richard Berry who organised the event.

Champions for Children : By participating in the June 2023 Champions for Children campaign the Club raised £22,394 including gift aid. With sixty-two supporters donating to the campaign, it was more popular than ever before. All money raised will go to support the Afterschool Activity Programme.

Going concern

Financial review

The Club is not endowed financially and must annually raise finance from external sources to fund its general operating running costs to remain open and to be staffed.

The financial year to 31 August 2023 has proved successful for the Club. It has raised significant funds from its very supportive sponsors and donors but it also controlled expenditure. The result was that the Club had net assets of £721,462 as at 31 August 2023 (2022: £623,638) of which £155,481 (2022: £173,521) were tangible fixed assets. This was a good performance against the backdrop of a challenging fundraising environment. The surplus for the year of £97,824 (2022: £122,612) reflects the incredible support of our funders and donors. This surplus has helped to grow our general reserves, which represents over 3.5 months’ running costs.

The transactions and financial position of the Charity are set out on pages 14 to 35 of the financial statements. The activities of the Club in delivering its charitable objectives are detailed in the Chair’s report. Some details on income and expenditure and reserves policy are set out below:

1. Income:

The Club’s total income for the year was £642,212 which was a small decrease from £675,240 achieved in 2021-22. This figure included £541,052 (2022 £513,077) received from numerous charitable trusts, other grant giving charities and individuals. Note 4 lists those donors (other than those that have requested to remain anonymous) who have given more than £2,000 during the year. 2022-23 saw a renewal of funding from some key supporters, to whom we are extremely grateful; £69,283 (2022: £60,931) received from charitable activities during the year and (c) £31,877 (2022: £100,649) from other sources including fundraising events, rental, and trading activities.

2. Expenditure:

Expenditure decreased to £544,388 (2022 £552,628). A small decrease of £8,240 due to a change in staffing structure.

Page 10

St Andrew’s Annual Report 2022-2023

The Management Committee continues to review expenditure and to make efficiency savings where possible but in a manner that does not reduce the level of activities that the Club provides for its members.

A St Andrew's Club Financial Process and Controls Policy was approved in March 2022 and reviewed in March 2023.

3. Investment policy:

As with previous years, the Club has adopted a low-risk investment approach and holds the majority of its reserves on deposit, albeit prevailing interest rates remain low. The Club is seeking alternative low-risk savings accounts.

4. Fundraising:

A bi-monthly sub-committee of the Management Committee continues to monitor how the Club raises funds.

Reserves policy

At 31 August 2023 the Club had Total Reserves of £721,462 (2022: £623,638) made up of Unrestricted Funds of £534,625 (2022: £495,129) and Restricted Funds of £186,837 (2022: £128,509).

The Unrestricted Reserves of £534,625 (2022: £495,129 represents Designated Reserves of £356,495 (2022: £290,008) and General Reserves of £178,130 (2022: £205,121).

The Designated Reserves comprise £173,521 (2022: £173,521) of a Fixed Asset Reserve, £50,000 (2022: £50,000) as a Club Refurbishment reserve and £132,974 (2022: £66,487) for Energy Saving Improvements.

The General Reserves as at 31 August 2023 amounted to £178,130 (2022: £205,121). It remains the Management Committee’s long held objective to ensure this balance is such that the Club has sufficient cash reserves to operate for an acceptable period in adverse circumstances. The Club aims to hold unrestricted free reserves equivalent to at least 3-6 months operating expenditure which is approximately £160,000 to £300,0000 (2022: £140,000 - £280,000), in addition to the designated funds. With General Reserves now representing just over 3.5 months’ budgeted running costs, we have been successful in 2022-23 in maintaining the General Reserves.

The £186,837 (2022: £128,509) of restricted Funds held by the Club are to be spent in accordance with the wishes of the donor(s), although nearly two thirds of the restricted Funds are pledged towards youth worker salary and activity programme costs.

ST ANDREW'S CLUB

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

1. General information

St. Andrew’s Club is a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom.

The registered office is Alec Wizard House, 12 Old Pye Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 2DG.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

St Andrew's Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.

After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections and taking into account the economic conditions and possible changes in trading performance, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

The Trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and they believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months authorising these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donation income including core grants and donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Other trading income includes fundraising event income and is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Charitable income includes income from general Club activities, member subscriptions, canteen sales and rental income, accounted for on an accruals basis.

Investment income is included when receivable.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the running of the Club. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Grants payable are accounted for when the Company is committed to paying them.

All realised gains and losses are recognised in the accounts. Unrealised gains and losses on investment assets and permanent diminutions in the value of fixed assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the restricted or unrestricted fund to which they relate.

Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

2.5 Taxation

The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Motor vehicles - 25% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 10% straight line
Office equipment - 10% straight line
Computer equipment - 25% straight line

No depreciation is provided on freehold land and buildings as required under FRS 102 as the Trustees consider that any charge would be immaterial. They consider the residual value of the property to be in excess of the carrying value in the accounts and the property is well maintained and in a good state of repair.

2.7 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

2.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.11 Financial instruments

The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.12 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories noted above on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity have been allocated directly, others have been apportioned on an appropriate basis, for example, time spent, per capita or floor area.

Investments held prior to 2021 in Barings UK Income Plus Trust related to the Jim Scott Bursary restricted fund. This has been set up by friends of the Club in 1988-89 and held in a Barings Targeted Fund until June 2021 when the account was closed by Barings. The fund balance was transferred to Unrestricted Funds, and transferred in 2021-22 to the John Scott Fund, in exchange for an annual cumulative award to St Andrew's Club of not less than £500 to be made towards educational bursaries to members in the name of the Jim Scott Awards or for initiatives or activities that which support the longterm financial sustainability of the Club. During the year, the Club received £4,200 from the John Scott Fund for this purpose.
