## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

In shaping the objectives and planning activities the Charity has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission Guidance on Public Benefit and ensuring that its activities are accessible to all and it applies equal opportunities at every level. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

Netherley Youth and Community Initiative is based in the centre of the Netherley estate and has been at the heart of the community tackling poverty, antisocial behaviour, and crime. The majority of service users struggle financially and are coping with a variety of disadvantages. NY&CI have a brilliant team of staff and volunteers providing excellent work and have established many years of success in supporting families. Building a good reputation, delivering services over the years in making a difference we provide invaluable support and signposting services to alleviate and address issues due to circumstances and disadvantage. 

We have adopted and implemented an open-door policy providing instant access, which ensures that we address people's needs and issues as and when they arise. 

NY&CI has successfully delivered services to support family needs liaising with other agencies in the area. The NY&CI Manager chairs the Bellevale Forum a multi agency network that coordinates services for the community in order to deliver the highest quality of service to those in need of support in our community. 

NY&CI continues to offer educational and recreational courses to the local community enabling people to improve themselves academically and to acquire new skills and increase their wellbeing. 

The Morgan Foundation generously supported us in 2017 with a brand new 17-seater Vauxhall Movano Minibus to enable us to offer opportunities of Breakfast and Afterschool pick-ups, residential breaks and trips for the children during half-terms. This resource continues to enable the Charity to provide essential support to local families particularly young people. 

The gardening programme continued increasing people's skills in horticulture and provides opportunity for growing fruit and vegetables. Tackling hunger is a key activity and the Food Bank has been fully accessible throughout the year and has been an essential service and support to families during Covid-19. . 

NY&CI is a hub with so many resources and sign-posting services for families coping with debt, housing issues, addiction and domestic violence. NY&CI have become integral to this area and offer a strong foundation to support vulnerable families. 

NY&CI provides a breakfast and after school club, holiday club and playschemes, educational and recreational courses, trips out, youth club activities, access to equipment including bikes for health and wellbeing and encouraging a healthy active lifestye, an onsite gym, gardening and growing activities, a Food Bank open 5 days per week, a Pantry Bus Service that commenced in 2020-2021 that was extremely well used and a Swap shop.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

The charity and the community it serves have been impacted by Covid. Lockdown restrictions have meant that some face to face delivery activities were curtailed for a time but we are pleased that our key funders have provided covid funding support to enable us to deliver our usual breakfast and after school clubs, holiday clubs, playschemes, educational and recreational activities. Through the very generous support of our funders we have been able to support people throughout the pandemic by staying open, following covid-safe procedures and practices, providing essential support and services such as the food bank and the pantry bus. 

NY&CI delivers these vital services to the community all under one roof, making it easier for the families to access support. 

NY&CI reaches out to families at grass roots level enriching their lives by providing a wide range of essential vital services to many in our community who are tackling disadvantage today. 

We are once again grateful to all our Funders who enable us to provide life enriching services to our community thereby improving the quality of life for all those living in the area. 

## **CHAIRS REVIEW** 

All charities have faced multiple challenges caused by the rapid changes in society brought about by Covid-19. The lockdowns in both 2020 and 2021, the various tiers of restrictions and managed relaxation of constraint have made life difficult for Trustees, Managers, Staff and Volunteers. At Netherley Youth & Community Initiative such adversity was shouldered because of the overwhelming desire and eagerness of everybody involved to mitigate the hardship faced by the families which this charity supports in Belle Vale ward. 

However, the strategic support and encouragement of key funders such as the Steve Morgan Foundation and Henry Smith Charity directly helping Netherley Youth & Community Initiative to respond to very changing needs in the community has brought about lasting legacies in the diversity of services provided and the way in which the charity operates and moving forward, the experiences in the past year have raised the organisation's capacity to serve and potential for growth. 

The major growth area has been in the charity's role as a food distributor – initially through a mobile service when required but now as a centre for affordable and nutritious food supplies in the heart of Netherley. 

The world post-Covid is not the same as society in March 2020 and social isolation, anxiety, mental illness and challenges to employability have certainly epitomised the needs of the community in 2021. The charity has sought to provide a wide range of services supporting families and offering poverty-relief, educational and recreational support to reach all ages and sections of the community. 

The services provided to children through breakfast clubs create a safety net in an area of significant deprivation ensuring young children do not attend school hungry or having consumed unhealthy foods building up future problems with obesity. The contribution which this service makes to positive school attendance should not be underestimated in an area of protracted and inter-generational educational under-performance. The critical importance of safe amenities and facilities for play has been manifest as children have virtually had to relearn the nuances of social interaction after the isolation of lockdowns. The welcome provision of vacations to Yorkshire and other excursions has proven invaluable to the social reablement of many children and young people. Netherley Youth & Community Initiative has also recognised not only that child development was significantly interrupted by the various lockdowns, but that children have become divorced from support structures which they previously accessed. Therefore to focus upon the needs of children and teenagers who have not returned to access provision, a detached youth element was introduced. The principle of prevention being more effective than cure underpins this provision and work has been dedicated to engagement of teenagers to offer alternatives to boredom which can fuel gang culture, anti-social behaviour, petty crime and substance misuse. In these interventions, the Trustees and Management appreciate that Netherley Youth & Community Initiative must be many things to many people but our mission is to provide a support centre and excellent resources for the many and not the few.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/08/2021** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

2020-2021 was probably the most challenging in the charity's history. However the organisation has emerged with a renewed sense of purpose, an invigorated Board of Trustees and a strategic sense of direction with the confidence to face the future underpinned by a significant investment in the buildings from the National Lottery and the positive determination to sustain the varied charitable services provided for the people of Netherley. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The results for the year are shown in the financial statements. Total Incoming resources for 2020-2021 were £318,551 (2020 £270,022). Total resources expended were £288,274 (2020 £180,317) giving rise to net incoming resources of £30,277 (2020 net incoming resources of £89,705) being excess income on the unrestricted fund of £48,612 and excess expenditure on the restricted funds of £18,335. At 31 August 2021 the position on the funds was £111,188 unrestricted funds and £89,918 restricted funds giving an overall total of £201,106 (2020 £170,829). Unrestricted funds comprise a general fund of £82,083 and designated funds of £29,105. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The main risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been considered and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

It is the policy of the charitable company to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves and designated reserves of the charity, at a level which will allow the charity to cover redundancy costs and continue its activities for six months should no further funding be received. 

As at the end of the financial year the unrestricted funds totalled £111,188. The charitable company requires £13,626 for redundancy obligations, and £4,979 for The Netherley Show and £10,500 for targeted needs in our Community and £176 to be invested in fixed assets leaving £81,907 free reserves (funds not tied up in fixed assets or designated funds). The actual free reserves of £81,907 are less than the ideal level of reserves covering 6 months running costs of £94,000. The Trustees confirm that current business plans indicate that there are sufficient reserves to deliver planned activity but maintaining reserves for a sustainable future is a key objective. Continuous fund raising is a key priority and focus of the Charity to ensure that it has sufficient resources to cover the planned programme.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/08/2021** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

No trustee received any remuneration for their services as a trustee. No trustee has an interest in the contracts of the charity. 

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Netherley Youth & Community Initiative Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure 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; 

Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES** 

The charitable company seeks to have a wide range of skills and experience on its board, contained within a small number of individuals. Applications are welcome from potential Board members regardless of, for example, ethnic origin or disability. Normally trustees are recruited either through referral by an existing Board member or by direct approaches from individuals. 

There is a recruitment process that involves exchange of relevant information, meetings on both sides and an opportunity for the person to attend a Board meeting as an observer before the existing Board members discuss and agree upon the appointment.

## **1h. Policy For Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at their setllement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discount due. 

## **1i. Policy For Income Recognition** 

Items of income are recognised and included in the acounts when all the following are met: (1) The charity has entitlement to the funds; (2) Any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; (3) There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable and (4) The amount can be measured reliably.

page 15 



**Netherley Youth & Community Initiative Limted** 

## **1m. Policy For Basis Of Preparation Of Accounts** 

The Trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore consider the use of the going concern basis to be appropriate. 

Covid-19 has had a profound effect on the charity and the community that it serves. Our regular face to face activities were not possible all the time due to the covid restrictions. It has been vital to maintain a level of support to our community and consequently the charity has continued to be open throughout the covid pandemic to provide essential services and support through the foodbank in particular, which has been possible through the very generous Covid support grants from our regular funders to whom we are grateful. Income has not been negatively impacted. All our services have continued following covid safe practices and procedures. 

At the time of approving the accounts the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these accounts. 

## **1n. Policy For Taxation** 

Income and Gains are exempt from taxation as they are applied for charitable purposes only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions. 

## **1o. Leases** 

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet at their fair value and depreciated over their expected useful lives. The interest element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease. All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
