TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees {who are also director5 of the charityfor the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 and are
collectively known as the Management Committee), present their report with the financial statements
of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the
Statement of Recommended Practice {SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities, IFR5102) in
preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company. The financial
statements comply with current statutory requirements and the Articles of Association.
STRucfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is a registered charity, which was founded on 7
December 2004. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 7 December
2004, and subsequent amendments on 7 February 2005 and 31 July 2009. The most recent
amendment5 enabled SYA to broaden its activities into new social initiatives and geographical areas,
reflecting the chariws evolving focus.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
During the year, the Management Committee comprised five trustees, each bringing valuable
expertise and professional experience from a range of sectors, including finance, politics, human
resources, mental health, IT, and youth services. Their combined skills have continued to strengthen
the charitvs strategic direction and ability to respond to ongoing challenges, particularly those arising
from the cost-of-living crisis which continues to impact both the charity and the community it serves.
All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from
the charity.
Induction and Training of new Trustees
Prospective trustees are introduced to SYA through an induction pack outlining the charity's aims,
structure, and activities. This is followed by a meeting with the Chief Executtve Officer ICEOI to discuss
the organisation's operations and the responsibilities of trusteeship. Candidates are invited to attend
Management Committee meetings to observe governance in practice. Afterattending three meetings,
individuals may be formally nominated and voted onto the board. The board remains committed to
broadening its membership and welcomes new trustees who can contribute fresh perspectives and
skills.
Organisational Structure
The trustees meet at least every six weeks, maintaining regular communication between meetings via
email and messaging platforms. The CEO attends trustee meetings in her role as both CEO and
Company Secretary, providing operational and strategic updates and supporting governance
processes.
Operational responsibility for service delivery rests with the CEO, who ensures the charity's financial
sustainability, oversees project delivery by the Senior Youth Support worker, and supports the Youth
Liaison Manager in managing staff and volunteers. A formal scheme of delegation is in place to ensure
effective and transparent decision-making.

Risk Management
The trustees recognise their duty to identify, assess, and manage the key risks facing the charity- A
comprehensive risk register is maintained and reviewed regularly, with controls and procedures in
place to mitigate risks and provide reasonable assurance against fraud, financial loss, and operational
error.
The most significant ongoing risk for SYA remains the challenge of securing sustainable funding,
particularly as the cost-of-living crisis continues to impact both our beneficiaries and the wider
charitable sector. Many of the funding sources that previously supported our work have reduced or
closed due to financial constraints, while competition for grants has intensified as larger, better-
resourced organisations also seek the same limited opportunitie5.
As several of our multi-year grants reached their conclusion. the trustees made a strategic decision to
Strengthen the team's capacity by appointing a Senior Youth Support Worker. This role has allowed
the CEO to step back from day-to-day delivery and focus on strategic development, cultivating
corporate partnerships, and pursuing new funding opportunities to meet the growing demand for our
services. Although this expansion has required drawing on our financial reserves, it represents a
planned investment in the organisation's future stability and growth.
Our Routes Skills Centre, a youth-led initiative delivered in partnership with Edmonds Learning and
Development, continues to play a central role in our operations. It not only offers meaningful
engagement opportunities for our corporate partners through volunteering and financial support, but
also provides SYA with affordable office space, significantly reducing our overheads each year.
This year, we also made the decision to relinquish our charity allotment. While it was not a major
financial commitment, maintaining it was beginning to stretch our limited staff and volunteer
resources, and the change allows us to refocus on activities With greater impact.
Despite the challenging financial landscape, the trustees are confident that SYA remains a going
concern. The charity continues to seek ways to enhance the sustainability of its projects, strengthen
its corporate relationships, and increase its visibility among potential supporters. We were proud to
be selected as Rathbones, Charity of the Year and delighted to have been chosen as Deloitte's
nominated charity for the next three years, both of which will provide valuable partnership and
fundraising opportunities.
SYA is registered with HMRC to claim Gift Aid on eligible donations and is also registered with PayPal
Giving and JustGiving, allowing supporters to contribute through online fundraising and social media
donation platforms.
To ensure sound financial management, we continue to monitor expenditure carefully through regular
budget reviews and the use of a cloud-based accounting system, providing the trustees with real-time
oversight of the charit￿5 financial position.
Objectives & Activities
Solent Youth Action {SYA} is a Hampshire-based charity supporting vulnerable and disengaged young
people aged 10-25. Our beneficiaries include those with disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health
issues, and neurodivergent conditions, as well as young carers, those displaying challenging
behaviours, and young people at risk of criminal, sexual, or extremist exploitation. While our base is in
Eastleigh, we work with young people across the wider Hampshire area.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Objectives & Activities {continuedJ
Our mission is to improve the social, emotional, and economic outcomes of these young people by
reducing isolation, building confidence and resilience, and equipping them with the skills and self-
belief needed to thrive in adulthood. We aim to remove the barriers that prevent young people from
realising their potential, helping them develop stronger relationships, better emotional wellbeing, and
greater independence.
We deliver a wide range of projects and direct support, including youth clubs, holiday schemes,
supported volunteering, life skills workshops, one-to-one community buddying, and family advocacy.
Activities run five days a week, including evening and weekend sessions, ensuring consistent and
accessible provision.
SYA is committed to inclusivity and equality of opportunity. Our ethos is to involve young people from
all backgrounds, especially those at risk of exclusion, and to ensure participation is free from
discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity. religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other
characteristic.
Objectives for the financial yearto 31 March 2025:
To build on our strengths and ensure the continued development of SYA. the trustees identified the
following key objectives for the year:
Enhance our reputation within the youth sector
SYA continues to build a strong reputation for quality service delivery. Our CEO represents the
youth sector within the Hampshire Safeguarding Children's Partnership, advocating for young
people engaged in non-statutory provision, and also serves as the third-sector representative
on the Local Area Partnership Board.
Strengthen collaboration with stakeholders and partners
We recognise that partnership working is vital to achieving positive outcomes. This year we
have further developed relationships with key partners and stakeholder5, increasing
understanding of our work and encouraging deeper involvement in our programmes.
Develop innovative approache5 to emerging youth issues
SYA has a proud history of creativity in youth engagement. The Routes Skills Centre continue5
to provide new opportunities for young people to learn, connect, and contribute, while
supporting the ongoing growth of the charity. Our youth club, ANY Club, has increased from
fortnightly to weekly to accommodate the huge surge in referrals to our service5 following the
increase in diagnoses of Neurodivergence amongst young people within the Eastleigh
Borough.
Support and value our volunteers
Volunteers remain central to ourwork. adding depth and personal connection to our services.
Many young people who have benefited from SYA projects return as volunteers, with some
progressing into paid roles within the organisation, demonstrating our commitment to
nurturing personal grovrth and opportunity.

Achievements and Performance
The 2024-25 financial year has been one of exceptional growth and impact for Solent Youth Action.
Over the course of the year, we have supported more than 1,000 young people, a dramatic increase
from previous years. On a weekly basis, over 90 young people engaged with our ongoing projects and
programme5. Each of these young people faces complex and varied challenges, and the dedication of
our staff and volunteers has been crucial in helping them to access positive, life-enhancing
opportunities.
Our supported youth clubs continue to be a cornerstone of our work, providing safe, inclusive spaces
where young people with additional needs can make friends, develop social skills, and build
confidence. Both SLAMS and J's Youth Clubs have been running successfully for over a decade, and this
year saw further expansion of our Additional Needs Youth Club {fomerly the Additional Needs Young
Carer5 Club}, which increased from fortnightly to weekly sessions in response to rising demand. This
development has allowed us to reach more young people in Ea5tleigh, offering the routine and
Structure that are vital for maintaining their emotional wellbeing.
Our holiday schemes extended this consistency into school breaks, offering a rich programme of club-
based activities and full-day excursions. We delivered trips to destinations such as Avon Tyrrell
Outdoor Adventure Centre (thanks to 5UPPOrt from UK Youth for the second year running), Arundel
Castle's annual jousting tournament, and the New Forest Wildlife Park. These experiences provided
both respite for families and valuable opportunities for young people to develop independence,
confidence, and social skills.
The Routes Skills Centre. developed in partnership with Eastleigh Borough Council and Edmonds
Learning and Development, continues to thrive as a youth-led supported volunteering site. It provides
a nurturing outdoor space where young people with learning disabilities, mental health challenges,
and those at risk of exploitation can build confidence, gain qualifications, and contribute meaningfully
to their community. The site has seen a steady rise in participation, with increasing numbers of young
people and volunteers actively involved in maintaining and developing the space.
We have also continued to engage our corporate partners through volunteer initiatives. Notably, over
30 volunteers from Womble Bond Dickinson joined us this year to assist with site maintenance and the
clearance of our charity allotment, demonstrating the power of corporate engagement in supporting
our mission and community work.
Our partnership with Deer Park School in Botley has been another key area of growth. Through weekly
workshops, one-to-one mentoring, and school assemblies, we have supported some of the most
vulnerable students, including those at risk of criminal behaviour, exploitation, and poor mental health
outcomes. Workshops have addressed critical topics including knife crime, county lines, sexual health
and relationships, online safety. aspirations, and anger management. Assemblies on drugs, hormonal
changes, and Al versus reality on social media have also sparked valuable discussions and awareness
among students.
Meanwhile, our Community Buddies Scheme remains one of SYA'S most in-demand services. The
scheme matches youth workers with vulnerable and isolated young people, supporting them to re-
engage with their communities and build social confidence. Each pairing is carefully and individually
matched to ensure long-term success, meaning that while demand and waiting lists remain high,
outcomes are consistently positive and transformative for the young people involved.

Financial Review
The Management Committee has reviewed the resenies policy of Solent Youth Action in accordance
with the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.
It IS the trustees, policy to maintain an unrestricted reserve sufficient to cover three months of
operating expenses. Given the pandemic and the financial complications that have occurred in
previous financial years, the trustee5 agree that adding to our reserves to enable financial security
during unprecedented times needs to be considered, but not at the expense of developing services.
Three month5 Of operating expenditure 15 considered prudent {given the need to cover fluctuations in
income) whilst taking into account the aims of the charity.
