## 4. Public Benefit 

The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## 5. Achievements and Performance 

As the funding landscape evolves under the new government, we are heartened by the growing recognition of young people’s voices in policy discussions. However, the broader youth sector still faces uncertainty in both direction and resources. In this challenging context, we are deeply grateful to our funders for their continued support, and the understanding the importance of core funding in the current climate. Although the contribution of core costs only partially covers essential costs, it has been nothing short of vital for our grassroots work. We are also grateful to those supporting our open-access youth work and to the collaboration funds and our partners. 

Hideaway has been in operation for 60 years in 2025 and we can look back at Hideaways achievement and celebrations, but we also need to look forward at the emerging challenges for our sector. 

Hideaway has expanded delivery in Hulme and also supporting young people from the Rusholme area. 

Over the financial year of 2024/25, we have supported 364 individual young people, providing them with access to a wide range of meaningful and engaging activities. In addition, we have contact with 100 young people (through outreach and detached) who will not register with the project. These sessions are primarily delivered by sessional youth workers and overseen by nationally qualified staff. Most of our activities take place during evening sessions, with two daytime sessions each week. 

The wards of Moss Side, Hulme, and Rusholme remain significantly underserved, with many young people facing a range of complex and intersecting challenges, including poverty, discrimination, community violence, and mental health struggles. 

The long-term impact of the pandemic continues to be deeply felt. School attendance has dropped, academic performance has declined, and employment opportunities remain limited. Just as crucially, many young people are still struggling to rebuild the social confidence and interpersonal skills that were disrupted during lockdowns. 

To address these challenges, we offer a wide range of positive activities, programmes, and trusted role models. Through open access youth work, targeted support, creative projects, and mentoring, we provide safe spaces where young people can reconnect, build skills, and begin to thrive 

Which is why we are now developing more youth work sessions in partnership with local schools, a step that has been positively received by both students and staff. These in-school sessions are helping to bridge the gap between formal education and community support, offering young people consistent guidance across different areas of their lives. 

By working alongside schools, we’re strengthening the connection between education and the wider community, creating a more cohesive and responsive support network. This joined-up approach ensures that young people are better understood, better supported, and more likely to succeed, both inside and outside the classroom.

## Why It Matters: Youth Workers in Schools 

Our Youth workers bring unique value to the school environment. 

## Trusted Relationships 

Youth workers are approachable and relatable, helping young people feel safe to open up and ask for support. 

## Early Intervention 

They spot signs of struggle early, like disengagement, mental health issues, or bullying, and provide support before problems grow. 

## Supporting Wellbeing 

By creating safe spaces, they help students manage emotions, build resilience, and improve mental health. 

## Encouraging Engagement 

They work with those at risk of exclusion or low attendance, helping re-engage them in learning and school life. 

## Life Skills & Confidence 

Through workshops and mentoring, they support personal development, decision-making, and social skills. 

## Linking School & Community 

Youth workers connect schools with local services, and opportunities that benefit students beyond the classroom 

Why youth work supports our community 

Our evening and community programmes are particularly effective in reaching young people who are often labelled as "hard to reach" by other professionals. While we have been successful in engaging them initially, we are finding that many of these young people present with complex needs and are considered high risk. Our staff are committed to supporting these individuals through consistent, structured youth work. 

Youth work is more than just activities, it’s a lifeline that strengthens young people and the places they live. 

## Safe Spaces & Support 

Hideaway youth workers are working out and about in different venues. We work in schools, the leisure centre, Powerhouse and Proctors youth centre 

Our youth workers offer trusted, offer a non-judgemental space where young people can talk, be themselves, and feel heard especially when they face challenges at home, school, or on the streets. We are offering activities and safe spaces wherever young people are 

## Positive Pathways 

Through mentoring, group work, and access to new experiences, Hideaway youth workers help young people discover their strengths and find direction in life. Hideaway is leading on a new programme called ‘ We Can Work It out’. This programmes is in the development stage of researching the barriers for employment and beyond for young people from our local communities.

## Reducing Isolation 

Hideaway brings young people together, combats loneliness, and encourages social connection and this is especially important in areas affected by poverty, violence, or exclusion. We are learning that many of the young people are still struggling to engage socially unless it is in a very structured activity like sport 

## Building Safer Communities 

By engaging young people in meaningful activities and supporting them through tough times, Hideaway helps prevent antisocial behaviour and strengthens local trust and safety. 

## Empowering the Next Generation 

In all our work we nurture confidence, leadership, and decision-making skills this helping young people become active, responsible citizens in their communities. 

## Activities and Impact 

The activities offered include: 

- Arts & Crafts 

- Quizzes 

- Football and Team Sports 

- Cooking 

- Group Discussions and Round Table Conversions 

These sessions serve not only as recreational outlets but also as platforms for deeper engagement. We use group discussions and round table formats to address a wide range of topics relevant to young people’s lives, such as: 

- Health and wellbeing 

- Youth crime, gangs and violence 

- Heathly eating 

- Culture and diversity 

- Justice and equality 

- Respect and relationships 

- Substance misuse (drugs and alcohol) 

In our focused discussions, we explore issues that often contribute to negative behaviour, such as anxiety, peer pressure, or challenges at home. These conversations help young people reflect on the impact of their actions and explore alternative behaviours . In doing so, we create opportunities for early intervention and prevention. 

## Creative Expression and Emotional Support 

Our arts and crafts sessions provide a relaxed environment where young people can open up to staff while engaging in creative activities like painting, drawing, colouring, and making collages. These sessions allow young people to express themselves, showcase their talents, and develop confidence. We’ve found that many young people feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions during these creative moments. 

An example of this is our vision board activity, where young people create visual representations of their dreams and aspirations for the future. These boards featured goals such as attending university, starting a career, family life, and other personal ambitions. The activity encouraged selfreflection, hope, and motivation, while also deepening staff understanding of each young person’s journey.

Promoting Life Skills and Wellbeing 

Our cooking sessions have also been particularly popular. Young people enjoy taking the lead in preparing meals and learning about nutrition, hygiene, and food preparation. These sessions promote teamwork, confidence, and independent living skills, while also supporting conversations around health and wellbeing from multiple angles, including physical, emotional, and social. 

## Our Impact at a Glance (2024/25) 

- 364 individual young people engaged 

- 2 daytime & 7 evening sessions weekly 

- Outreach and detached sessions 

- young people employed through the We Can Work It Out programme

## Sustaining Open-Access Youth Work 

It is important we remain operational and focused on our mission: prioritising the needs of young people. We must keep our doors open and secure the support needed to grow our open-access programmes, alongside targeted work for young people with complex needs. Investments in staff and volunteer development including completion of Level 3 Youth Work qualifications have strengthened our service delivery and deepened our long-term impact. 

## Hideaway Highlights 

Sports for Engagement and Wellbeing 

Our sports sessions are a cornerstone of engagement, offering young people , especially those not accessing traditional services a route into youth work and personal development. These programmes promote both physical and mental wellbeing.

## New Media & Discussion Space 

We’ve launched a youth-led podcast and debate hub where young people develop communication skills, confidence, and critical thinking — building ownership and deepening engagement.

## Hideaway Youth Project Limited Notes to the Accounts 

for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## 1 _Charity status_ 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 toward the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

## 2 Accounting policies 

## _Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates_ 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## _Statement of compliance_ 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing the accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## _Basis of preparation_ 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102 SORP), effective 1 January 2015. The principal accounting properties adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## _Going concern_ 

The btrustees consider that there are no material uncertanties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertanty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## _Incoming resources_ 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income can be measured reliably. Income received for specific purposes has been credited in total to these funds; expenditure charged has been confined to those items incurred within the aims and objects of the funds. 

## _Donations and legacies_ 

Cash donations are recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

## _Grants receivable_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _Investment income_ 

Investment income is accounted for when receivable. 

## _Resources expended_ 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it's probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _Charitable activities_ 

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

Page 15 



Docusign Envelope ID: 64933047-DE9D-42C3-A36B-11A1E68D3581 

## _Governance costs_ 

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## _Tangible fixed assets_ 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Assets are capitalised where the cost exceeds £1000 and where they are expected to be used for more than one year. 

## _Taxation_ 

The charity 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 charity 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. 

## _Cash and cash equivalents_ 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## _Trade creditors_ 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been aquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _Fund structure_ 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## _Pensions and other post retirement obligations_ 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for the service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. 

## _Financial instuments_ 

## Classification 

The charity 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. 

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

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

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at thier settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
