Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 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).
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Haxby & Wigginton Youth & Community Association is a Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered charity, which is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association being incorporated on 14th June 2004 and amended by members at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 12th September 2017.
Directors and Trustees
The Directors of the Charitable Company ("the Charity") are the Trustees for the purposes of Charity Law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the "Trustees".
Membership
Membership of Haxby & Wigginton Youth & Community Association is open to interested individual members of the local community and to representatives of other local organisations.
Appointment of Trustees
When a vacancy arises Trustees analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the existing Trustees, and seek local candidates with skills and experience which will add to the range of Trustees' expertise. Before appointment a potential candidate must satisfactorily complete an Automatic Disqualification form to confirm there are no issues barring them from being appointed a Trustee. If appointed during the year the Trustee retains office until the next AGM Once appointed the Trustee retains office until the next AGM when he/she will be required to stand for election. In accordance with the Articles of Association, each year one third of Trustees are required to retire by rotation.
Trustee Induction and Training
New Trustees are given copies of the Memorandum & Articles of Association, the most recent Annual Report and recent minutes of the meetings of Trustees. In addition, they are directed to the Charity Commission website to view the "Essential Trustee" and their attention is drawn to other information available on the Charity Commission website (or downloaded hard copies are offered). The staff team, Chair and/or Vice Chair provide help and assistance to facilitate familiarisation with procedures.
Organisation and Management
The charity operates in Oaken Grove Community Centre which is owned by the City of York Council, although under its full repairing lease arrangement the entire management and maintenance is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Trustees are responsible for the overall governance of the Charity. During this year the Trustees held the required number of full board meetings. All members of the Trustee Board give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the Charity. Day to day management is carried out by Centre management staff with a designated trustee acting as line manager.
Business Planning
The Business Plan completed in 2019 was seen to be in need of review having been impacted by the closures arising during Coronavirus Pandemic starting in 2020 continuing into 2021sharply rising energy prices from the beginning of 2022 and a further period of closure from June to December 2022 to permit building works to create an extension to accommodate the new Haxby and Wigginton library (see below).

Haxby & Wigginton Youth & Community Association
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The impact of significant rises in energy costs, levels of inflation creating a difficult situation across the economy and significant alteration to cost structures following major changes to the building and its occupancy required an updated business plan to be produced. This was undertaken using grant funded external resources and was completed in late 2024
Risk Management
During the year the Trustees have continued to review the risks to which the Charity is exposed. This is done through the areas of responsibility outlined above. For example, systems are in place to ensure compliance with health & safety of staff, volunteers, and all users of the Community Centre. Since the completion of building extension work and occupation of part of the building by York Explore, the providers of the library service, responsibility for the café has transferred to that organisation and HWYCA no longer has any responsibility for Food Hygiene compliance.
Risk assessments are carried out when necessary and policy documents are kept, with a rolling programme of reviews. All employees and volunteers who have unsupervised contact with young people or other vulnerable groups are subject to enhanced DBS checks. Insurance for the Centre is in place and inspections are carried out on equipment and certificates obtained from outside agencies. Following a full review and update of our policies over the period from 2018 to 2021 we are now using a rolling programme which ensures revised and new policies are put in place when necessary.
Objectives and Activities
The Charity's Objects (the Objectives) are:
(i) To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Haxby and Wigginton (hereinafter called "the area of benefit") without distinction by sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and local authorities, voluntary or other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions for life for the said inhabitants and, in particular, young people;
(ii) To establish or secure the establishment of a community building (hereinafter called "the centre") and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or other person or body) in furtherance of these objects;
(iii) To promote such other charitable purposes as may, from time to time, be determined.
Delivering our aims and objectives: Public Benefit:
. The ethos of the Association's work administering the Centre is to serve the local community and to provide a base of activities which enrich the lives of local inhabitants.
. We aim to make the Community Centre an accessible and welcoming place for all sectors of the local community. To further this aim we ensure that the provisions that we offer, give a good balance across age ranges, abilities and interests, whether organised by ourselves or by external groups.
. This report looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work over the twelve months between April 2024 and March 2025. It looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits brought to the target groups of people we wish to provide for. We continue to refer to the Charity Commission's General Guidance on public benefit (section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities act) when reviewing and planning our future activities.
Performance for the Year 2024-25
General Situation
The stop-go nature of the previous few years due to closures during COVID and then for building extension works left the Charity rebuilding income to reach break even. The ongoing high level of inflation has made achieving that difficult and it is clear that in the short to medium term the charity will remain heavily dependent on grant funding to carry out its activities. Whilst letting income grew encouragingly we are some way short of where we need to be

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Youth Provision
In terms of attendance numbers Youth Activities have been successful, with all groups having increased numbers, and larger numbers of young people reached in one of the local secondary schools as part of our delivery of the National Youth Agency's NatWest Thrive programme. The Youth Staff have experienced an increase in serious behavioural issues, and most concerningly safeguarding problems have continued to arise. Whilst disappointing there is evidence that this is a widespread problem rather than a local one and common amongst youth service provisions post COVID. Youth workers are supporting youth mental health and wellbeing, and the provision is supporting a community wide decrease in antisocial behaviour as a result. The Young People have taken part in a number of exciting community engagement opportunities including volunteering to sell Remembrance Day poppies in the village, creating decorations for our charity's Christmas Tree at the York Minster Christmas Tree Festival, and making Easter cards for the care home residents.
Haxby and Wigginton Library
Haxby and Wigginton library took up occupation in the extended building early in 2023 and the overall footfall has increased. Arrangements day to day generally work well and the initial issues where many users of the building were unaware of the charity and its work have been actively addressed and awareness is improving.
The Changing Places toilet was not confirmed in time for the facility to be included in the main block of building work but was eventually authorised and was completed close to the end of the year 2023-24. It officially opened in June 2024. This facility has been beneficial to our business in adding value to hirers
Under the agreement Explore have a sub-lease of their area with no rent being payable but the agreement effectively offsets the theoretical rent value against the capital cost of the work for a period in excess of forty years. At this stage the capital having been repaid HWYCA will be free to charge market rent for the facility.
The management of shared costs falls to HWYCA, with agreed percentages for sharing joint overheads. The percentage share has been set at a default of 50:50 but this does not apply to electricity and water where the split has been agreed at 35% HWYCA and 65% Explore thus recognising the extra use of these utilities caused by the café operation. A new bank account was opened to process these costs and the agreed contributions by the two parties. This arrangement has benefitted HWYCA by helping to contain the impact of high utility costs. Furthermore, we receive a small fee to administer the arrangements which has been used to employ a part time Administrative Assistant who was recruited in July 2024 for 3 hours per week..
Management of the Building
There have been ongoing teething issues following the substantial building works and these continue to create higher than desirable demands on management time. Reaching a fully acceptable level of heating has been particularly elusive and solution takes more time than the building contracts properly allow for as the success of work can only be assessed during extreme weather periods. This problem has been recognised in warranty extensions.
There have been some problems with trespassers causing damage to the building and it is hoped that we will complete the process to install CCTV during 2025 to help overcome this problem+
Damage was caused to one of the main gates in June 2024 following a taxi minibus reversing into it while picking up session attendees. Insurance claims were raised but the outcome of these claims were still in progress at the end of March 2025.
Solar Panels
We received crowd funding during the financial year 2022/23 for the installation of Solar Panels. The process continues in reaching agreement on an acceptable scheme with landlords, City of York Council and specifying effective works within budget. It is expected that work will start in late 2025

Running the Centre
Room Bookings increased to just over £30k which is an improvement moving towards the level needed to reach a sustainable position. There is available letting time for growth is still available but becoming more restricted. Price increases can offer small improvements but will not on its own get us to the desired level and must in any case be applied judiciously in order to maintain our competitive position. Letting income benefitted from one or two very lucrative bookings. Whilst this is welcome it does pose a risk should such bookings not be renewed.
There was considerable success in sourcing grants which support our costs both during 2023/24 and into 2024/25. It is well understood that this will continue to be a vital source of funds in the light of significant cost increases that we have faced.
Increased energy costs in recent years has been a contributory problem and we had to enter into new contracts for both gas and electricity during the year. We opted to fix prices for the minimum periods available as the best option in a continuingly volatile market. We will have further contract renewals in 2025/26 and it is probable that we will adopt a further short contract approach as the volatile situation remains
Staff costs for the second successive year rose in line with the prevailing market. As in 2023/24 this was seen as a necessary step to safeguard retention of key staff members seen as vital to our continued operation.
Our cleaner retired at the end of May 2024 and we were unable to find a suitable replacement until November 2024. This coincided with our Caretaker being on long term sick leave for a scheduled operation, resulting in approximately six weeks without a caretaker or cleaner in July and August. This period was managed with a combination of existing members of staff covering opening and closing duties, as well as cleaning as required, plus the temporary employment of a hirer to cover some of the regular tasks.
Fundraising activities have still not grown as had been hoped after the reopening of the building and activities have been limited to a small number of similar events to those pursued over many years
. We received funding from York CVS in 2024 to recruit a dedicated Fundraising Assistant for 6.5 hours per week for a 12 month period. We recruited for this position in July 2024, however the member of staff resigned at the end of March 2025, and will leave at the end of April. The remaining two months funding will be used to pay for fundraising work done by existing staff members.
Ongoing issues continued to affect the building. Whilst there was some progress the heating system still occurred despite rectification efforts by the building contractors. Whether this has properly resolved will again only be evident with the onset of winter. The situation is less than ideal and made particularly difficult by the building works contracts having been between the landlord and the contractors with the charity attempting to get solutions as the party caught in between. This remains a key issue as it has the potential to adversely impact our letting income.
Financial Review
Trustees' Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to:
. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company and Charity will continue in business.

Haxby & Wigginton Youth & Community Association
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
. The Charity is required by Company Law and Charity Law to formally report on the Association's position at the end of the financial period 31st March 2025. Net outgoing Resources of £8,462 for the year in the Unrestricted Funds has resulted in a balance carried forward in respect of these Funds of £30,488.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have examined the Charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. A policy has been established whereby unrestricted funds, not committed in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity, are held at a level to cover the budgeted expenditure for a period of three to six months. Such reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the Charity. The Trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding in the short term, which is a prudent policy especially during these difficult economic times.
At 31st March 2025 these reserves stand at £24,744 including £8,828 being the balance of the Designated Fund Premises Reserve, which is earmarked by the Trustees for future expenditure on the premises, the timing of which is unknown but can be used earlier without restriction if required.
Investment Policy
Apart from retaining a reserve as outlined above, most of the Charity's funds are committed in the short term. In the past, Trustees have invested in short term bonds as and when funds are available. Whilst this policy has not been rescinded the last remaining bond was redeemed in early 2021. Whilst interest levels throughout the financial sector have started to rise the impact of some difficult financial years have left available funds restricted to the point that it is not particularly beneficial to set aside funds in restricted access accounts.
Financial Risk Management
The Treasurer presents regular detailed budget monitoring reports to Trustees in order to ensure that there is adherence to the budget and to ensure that the Charity is not exposed to financial risk. Advice is taken from our Independent Examiners as to the appropriateness of control measures. Adherence to the Charity's Financial Management Policy and to the Financial Standing Orders ensures that risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all financial transactions.
Principal Funding
The principal sources of funding are by way of grants and service agreements from local organisations. During this year we are grateful for the financial support given to us by:
. Haxby Town Council
- . Wigginton Parish Council
. Haxby & Wigginton Ward Committee
-
. National Youth Association-Thrive Programme
-
. National Lottery Community Fund
. North Yorkshire Police, Crime and Fire Commissioner
