Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 4th October, 2001, which are based on a Charity Commission model. The company is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Appointment of trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association are known as the Board of Directors. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees are eligible, as the Board of Directors, to appoint additional trustees.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees are provided with an Induction Pack when they join the Board and are given the appropriate support by the centre manager and other trustees. Training is given to new trustees as and when required.

Organisation

The charity has an elected Board of Trustees. Board members are elected at the AGM, normally serve for three years, with one-third retiring each year, but can be re-elected. Casual vacancies can be filled by the Board during the year, with these Trustees, and any co-opted trustees, then able to stand at the AGM for election. Day to day mangement of the activities is undertaken by Mr F A Jones.

Related parties

There are no related or subsidiary companies. Membership of Merseyside Youth Association Ltd and its national body Clubs for Young People are maintained, and token grant-aid under contract is provided by Liverpool Youth Service. The company also has a close relationship with Kingsley United, the largest local football club whose policies on proactive youth engagement of local young people is shared by the charity; along with strong links to local primary and secondary schools, and is building a good relationship with the Liverpool John Moores University.

Risk management

The organisation has continued to exist for a number years with major funding from Liverpool City Council, the Steve Morgan Foundation and from BBC Children in Need.

The major risk to the group is failing to gain ongoing revenue funding. This is partly ameliorated by fund-seeking, although failure of one of our major funding bids in the future could see the rapid demise of the group, and the reduction or end of its services.

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 (continued)

Risk management (Continued)

The trustees have a risk management and control strategy which consist of:

Work by the Health & Safety Officer (supplied by the Vocational College) has helped eradicate most hazards, and those that have not been removed have had the chances of occurring reduced by adopting good house-keeping policies. With little risk of fire identified by the H&S Officer, any likely occurrence would be from the use of portable appliances, and tests have been carried out to ensure compliance with the relevant BS regulations.

In following the guidelines set out in the Code of Professional Conduct, all staff would treat members, occasional users and general public, both young and old, with the utmost courtesy; also complying with Equal Opportunities and Safeguarding Children policies.

Objectives and activities

The Charity’s objectives are to (a) promote the personal development of young people; (b) advance education, improve health, provide recreation and leisure facilities; (c) maintain a Youth & Community Centre and (d) promote other charitable purposes.

When planning our activities for the year, the trustees gave consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance during the year

Over the course of the past 12 months the project has built on the work done during lockdown and the stop start transition back to normality with the reducing of COVID-19.

With efforts of the staff and volunteers we believe we have made positive contributions to alleviate the disadvantages faced by the children and young people in Princes' Park ward. While trying to address the challenge of low levels of sustained attendance in school.

Since our last report the organisation has had over 434 young people attending the junior and senior youth clubs, both online and in limited groups. This year we continued to give support to member's families and adult members of the community. The youth clubs had 239 males in attendance and 195 females.

This year’s projects were mainly delivered in person with the minimum of restrictions; the first quarter delivery was done under social distance guidelines. We were able to provide services for many children and young people, we now recognised there was a clear triumvirate in whom and how we could engage them. Online only, face-to-face only and both, children and young people who did both benefitted the most from the services we provided.

With high session attendance, we could not do outreach youth work on the same scale as we did in the previous year. By being able to be in a set space for specific times, the youth club sessions have been able to maintain the save level of engagement with young people as last year. However, we do recognise that there are some young people who will not engage with our services again because they are now entrenched in the street.

This year we have delivered thirty different centre based activities, thirteen trips out and a weeklong residential, thirty-five different projects and much more.

Work with Young people

Our work with young people this year has been enabled by BBC Children in Need, the Holiday Activity Fund, MPAC and Liverpool City Council to name a few. We focussed on encouraging young people to use the centre by providing activities they have chosen, ensuring we have maximum engagement. The activities and youth work were have done this have focussed on as keeping children and young people safe.

Under the umbrella of keeping children and young people safe, we provided sessions that hope encouraged them to be positive members of the community with positive role models raising aspirations and supporting educational development whether academic or vocational. The lockdown rules have made the projects we did on mental wealth more acceptable has gone some way to taking the stigma away around poor mental health. The work we have done with respect to gun gang and knife crime, has been even more relevance, with the decrease in the age of young people getting involved and their victims.

As with each year the services we provide are usually taken up by young people who live primarily within the L8 area, with L7 and L15 closely behind. These postcodes make up eighty percent of the members living within them and eighty six percent identifying as BME

Raising Aspirations

The Young Inspectors held most of their meeting in the centre this year, because many of those involved were Unity members. They travelled to London and Birmingham, working with the counterparts in the cities to promote the Commonwealth games. The online cooking classes continued for six months and was replaced by cooking within the centre, which was so popular turns had to be timetabled to cook. Forty eight different meals, snacks and cakes were made, creating a level of confidence and independence rarely seen in large numbers in projects. Culminating in a cookbook showcasing their favourite recipes. Royal Navy workshops helped young people consider different paths, while the apprenticeship and employment project helped young people consider essential careers with clear paths for progression. A group of our young have got involved in a project called the Imaginist project, which explores computer 3D game making with FACT and a black trans digital artist. The project that attracted the most recognition for our young people was Aimee’s project, named after one of our members who passed away due asthma in March 21. Partnering with the British Lung Foundation and Asthma UK, the members placed monitors around the local community to measure pollution levels. This led to a trip to COP26 were they met other young climate activists and celebrities, an interview for Sky’s FYI and BBC radio merseyside.

Mental and Physical Health Wellbeing

The “Sow n Grow” project, was an excellent way for youth people to slow down and take time, it was supported by local parent who worked in a plant nursery. The quality of the fruit and vegetables produced under the guidance of a professional was amazing. Some of what was grown was put into well being packs and given as gifts to parents and a local elderly care home. We visited the care home regularly, taking time to talk and interact with the residents.

The change of scenery that the annual residential brings for those who go, is often referred to as holiday. It’s a break from the city most of the young people never get with their families, like the trips to theme parks or the beach are a chance to do something they do not normally do. They are acquiring positive memories that will last a lifetime and improve their mental health.

The centre was originally the “Unity Boys Club” and its layout favours sports. We are lucky to have facilities and equipment to provide a variety of sports, which means that each day the physical activities that can be done by everyone, if they wish. Including yoga and meditation sessions, which many young people enjoyed.

Trustees' Report for the year ended 31st March, 2022 (continued)

Gang Gun and Knife Crime

As with every year, the targeting of young people at risk of gang involvement has to be subtle and involves mainly one-to-one work with the individuals and support for their families. The young people who usually get involved in violent crime come from families were parents need support. The Forward Project, was set up by a group of parents who had experienced this and wanted to provide support for other parents who are experiencing similar difficulties. The group is based in the centre and allows wrap around support to be given to a young person and family if they acept it.

The bike riding project, was an excellent tool for engaging some of the local young people who were on the fringes of gang involvement. This is a project we promote and support for as much as we can, because we know it has measurable outcomes.

Positive Contributions

We believe helping young people make positve contributions, helps them develop into valuable members of the community. This year our young people have been vocal in their contributions participating in the march against the growing indiscriminate violence in the community, anti fly tipping campaign, road safety and air quality monitoring. They again have made hampers for families in need and recorded Zoom Christmas carols for our two local care homes. This year the activities and projects we offered to children and young people, happened with the support and the funding from Children in Need for the senior club and MPAC/HAF for holiday activities. The Steve Morgan Foundation funded our Particaption coordinator and our Family support worker, which have been instrumental in working closer with our young people and their families to achieve the best outcomes possible.

Working with Groups

The most regular users of our facilities are church’s taking advantage of our spaces, were the Deeper Christian Life Ministry and Dunamis church on Sundays. And we are very grateful for the mentoring and support given by L1 church members.

High Intensity Interval Training for women has continued to hold weekly session for the community. Much of the working with groups has been for the benefit of our young people. Targeted Services for Young People facilitation and development of the Young Inspectors group has massively benefitted some of our members. Performance based projects from D-Street Drama and 20 Stories High, have increased self-confidence and self-esteem. Project with the Samaritans and British Red Cross have helped educate our young people in first aid and how to support with knife wounds. The British Lung Foundation, Asthma UK and Sustainable Transport all supported our COP26 visit to Glasgow. The many visits by the Royal Navy and even more projects with FACT have enabled our young people to consider the wider opportunities.

Building Refurbishment and Development

The small refurbishment of the building was completed and we opened up fully at the end of the lockdown restriction in June. The building is much better for delivery youth work and recreational activities, however it is not as good as it should is a distance away from being fit for purpose. The heating, toilets, disability access and much more, mean we are far from current standards for a building. We will be considering our options for how we will address the building develop in the coming years.

Benefit

The current climate for charitable organisations is extremely competitive as all charities try to scale up to the increased need for more support for children, young people and their families. We are grateful to long term funders BBC Children in Need and Liverpool City Council, Steve Morgan Foundation, John Moores Foundation and Awards for All, have helped us to provide a much improved service to the children and young people of the Princes' Park ward of Toxteth.

Financial Review

Results for the year

The results for the year are set out on page 9.

Investment powers and policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish.

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of the company and to the reserves policy have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest bearing deposit account with the company's bankers.

Reserves policy

The trustees have established the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gaps between spending on agreed projects and the related grant income, as well as the (often) considerable delays in receiving rental income. As a result, the trustees believe that the ideal level of reserves would be equal to twelve month's worth of expenditure. The trustees note that the actual level of free reserves at the year end was £17,030 (2021: £15,007) compared to an ideal level of reserves of £175,000 (2021: £142,000). The trustees intend to address this situation in the coming periods, by gradually building the reserves up to their ideal level.

Plans for future periods

We are in our final year of funding from John Moore’s foundation for core costs, BBC Children in Need for Youth Club costs and the Steve Morgan Foundation for a participation worker, we are working toward successfully replacing theses funding streams to ensure our services can continue.

The Board and senior management will continue in our long term goal of a modern, compliant and sustainable building and services for local young people.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors or through the terms of an appeal.

Transfers of funds are made to recognise the release of restricted funds or to meet expenditure not covered by restricted income.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the charity is held responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of groups that owe their main affiliation to another body.

Turnover

Turnover comprises the amounts receivable in respect of grants, donations and subscriptions.

Income from:

Donations and legacies

Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is received by or on behalf of the charity. 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.

1 Accounting policies (cont.)

Charitable activities

Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Irrecoverable VAT

All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixture, fittings and equipment - 15% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

All equipment, fixtures and fittings with an original cost of less than £1000, are written off in the year in which the expenditure was incurred on the basis that due to the nature of the company's activities, there is no expectation that the cost of the assets will be recovered in the way of future revenues.

Current Assets

Amounts owing to the charity at 31st March in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit at the bank.

Contingent Liabilities and Provisions

In accordance with the SORP, a contingent liability is disclosed for those grants, which do not represent liabilities, where the possible obligation, which arises from past events, will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the trustees' control. Provisions are recognised for those grants where there is uncertainty as to the timing or amount, and any uncertainty regarding the amount is more than one of determining a basis for reasonable estimation of the liability arising from that constructive obligation.

Charitable status and taxation

As a registered charity, the company benefits from rates' relief and is generally exempt from income tax and corporation tax. The charity is not registered for value added tax.
