CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

I begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to my fellow trustees, staff and volunteers for their unwavering commitment to Newark. Their dedication, hard work, and resilience have been the driving force behind everything we have achieved so far.

We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver the services our community wants, needs, and deserves. However, we face challenging times. Funding opportunities are shrinking at an unprecedented pace, and we are experiencing more unsuccessful bids than at any point in recent memory. In my tenure as Chair, I have never seen the funding landscape so competitive, with decisions often made on the narrowest of margins.

Despite these challenges, I am immensely proud of Newark’s continued determination to provide opportunities for young people, to meet role models, connect with mentors, and be inspired to reach their full potential through participation, volunteering, and employment. Today, regardless of age, gender or ability, Newark offers a space for everyone in our community to grow personally, build friendships, and thrive.

Together, we will overcome these obstacles and emerge stronger. I believe in Newark and in the incredible people who work tirelessly to ensure every young person receives the opportunities they deserve.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are:

To act as a resource for young people living in the London borough of Tower Hamlets and neighbouring boroughs by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:

(i) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.

(ii) advancing education.

(iii) relieving unemployment; and

(iv) providing recreational and leisure-time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving their conditions of life.

There has been no change in these objects during the year.

Newark Youth London was formed in 1984. Originally run as a football team by dedicated volunteers. In more recent decades, Newark Youth London has developed beyond football, and now provides a comprehensive range of services for young people and other members of the local community.

Our Vision “To provide opportunities for young people and community.”

Our Mission

“To develop the skills, capacities and capabilities of young people and adults to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible citizens.”

Our Aim

Helping, supporting and delivering a stronger community, by providing sport and other self-development activities to young people and adults.

Our Objectives

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

NEWARK YOUTH LONDON LIMITED

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND BENEFICIARIES

Newark Youth London aims to develop the personal, social, physical and educational potential of disadvantaged young people through sports, leisure, social activities and learning. We provide youth clubs; informal, accredited and formal learning; personal development, leadership & volunteering programmes, employment & training support, sports, outdoor activities, day trips and residentials. We aim to enable young people to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible citizens.

Working with over 1,500 young people annually, most of our beneficiaries come from disadvantaged backgrounds (experiencing poverty, overcrowding, unemployment and family breakdown). Our services primarily support people in London Borough of Tower Hamlets, especially young people living in social housing estates in Whitechapel, Shadwell, Wapping, Bethnal Green, Mile End, Limehouse and Stepney areas. Young people in Tower Hamlets experience high levels of deprivation, poverty and racism, and are exposed to crime, drugs and anti-social behaviour.

Many parents struggle as they are not working or are on low incomes, and for many who have migrated to the area English is not their first language. They may not have experienced a formal education themselves. As the Cost of Living crisis continues, many families find themselves struggling with ongoing high household costs such as energy, food and rent. All of this impacts the young people we seek to support.

During the year we continued extending our services into the neighbouring London Boroughs of Newham and Havering. This is part of our long-term plan to further develop the charity and build our future financial sustainability and resilience. Long-term population trends indicate a decrease in the number of young people in Tower Hamlets as families migrate eastwards in London, searching for better value places to live. Some of the families we support have been making this transition and moving into existing and new residential areas in neighbouring Boroughs. The challenges families and young people face in Tower Hamlets persist and evolve as they move into their new homes.

Newark Youth London continued to rise to the challenge of responding to difficult circumstances and supporting young people to be confident to face the world. The projects delivered during the year provided opportunities for young people to engage in positive activities, develop themselves whilst staying out of trouble, and fulfil their potential in life.

Celebrating 40 years of Newark Youth London

2024 was an incredibly special year as we celebrated 40 years since the creation of Newark Youth London. 200 young people and special guests attended a glittering gala event in November 2024.

We looked back on four decades and honoured the pioneers who planted the first seeds of Newark. Our founders stood against racism, fascism and poverty, and through their vision created a space for friendship, support and unshakeable unity.

Little did they know they were building a legacy – a foundation that we proudly continue today. From humble beginnings as a loosely run football team, Newark has blossomed into an organisation that embraces and uplifts every young person, no matter their background, faith or financial standing.

Newark has a rich history of strength and perseverance, and today’s members, volunteers, supporters and leaders are writing the next chapter of the charity, shaping the next 40 years and beyond. The last forty years embody resilience and growth and most of all, they reflect our unwavering commitment to empowering young people.

Football Academy

In Tower Hamlets we delivered weekly football training and managed youth, adult and veteran’s football teams during the year for over 200 people. We had youth teams playing in the Tower Hamlets Youth League involving 50 young people. Our adult team played in the Inner London Football League involving 40 young adults and the veterans team played in local tournaments and has grown to around 40 players. Our Sunday Football Academy sessions engaged close to 100 children and young people aged 6-16, and our Tuesday night training session attracted around 50 young people.

Whilst football has always been a core activity for us, this year we had a stronger emphasis on other sports as well such as basketball, boxing, cycling and volleyball.

Youth Clubs

During the year, Tower Hamlets Council contracted us to deliver three youth hubs from Haileybury, Christian Street and Wapping youth centres, engaging over 1,155 young people between 10-19 year-olds (up to age 25 for young people with special educational needs or disability). With something on offer 3 days a week, the clubs provide a safe place for young people to meet, socialise and develop their life skills and experiences in an informal setting. The clubs offer a range of indoor and outdoor activities, sports, short courses & workshops, study support, and trips & residentials.

We overachieved on all our targets for the youth service contract:

Recorded Outcomes 270 454
Accredited Outcomes 90 144

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

We also secured other funding to run a youth club at Locksley Community Centre in Limehouse, attracting 50 young people to attend.

We delivered workshops on Substance Misuse, Stop & Search, Violence Against Women and Girls, Hate Crime, Anti-Bullying, CV-Writing, Job Applications & Interview Skills and many more. Young people completed practical cooking sessions and took part in Black History Month. We delivered a host of short, accredited courses such as Level 2 Customer Service, ASDAN Leadership course, ASDAN Volunteering, First Aid at Work, Safeguarding, Food Safety and Introduction to Youth Work. Young people also had the opportunity to participate in trips and excursions including learning to swim and ride a bike.

Holiday Programmes

The school holiday programmes are an extension of our youth clubs and provide an opportunity to engage new children and young people to Newark and to keep them occupied in positive activities during the school holidays, especially the long summer holidays. We secured funding from London Borough of Tower Hamlets HAF programme to run holiday programmes in school holidays in 2024, for young people 6 to 16 years, attracting 70 young people to our Easter Programme and 90 young people to our Summer programme.

As part of our strategic growth into other boroughs, with support from L&Q Housing Association we began delivering school holiday activities at a large new housing development in London Borough of Havering called Beam Park. In November 2024 we took part in a winter fair to meet local parents and young people, learn more about the kinds of activities they would like to see in Havering and how we can support local young people to flourish at a time of significant population change.

We also ran a summer programme in Newham, based in East Ham at the Well Centre and Gooseley Park for young people aged 6 to 18.

Work It Hub

This project responds to young people’s concerns about their future education and employment prospects. Aimed at disadvantaged young people aged 14 to 25, the programme helps them identify their future career options/pathways; improve their employability skills; help them access apprenticeships, courses or work experience to support them to move into paid employment or further education or training.

We are very grateful to various grant funders, whose support has enabled us to continue to provide this vital and popular service to young people. The project directly supported 53 young people during the year, enabling 4 young people to secure sustainable jobs and a further 4 to secure valuable voluntary work experience placements; and others to achieve accredited qualifications.

Girls in Action

We successfully delivered the Girls in Action (GIA) project for another year. The project aims to provide opportunities for girls and young women to participate in regular youth activities, bringing them together, facilitating their passions and interests and support them to develop their confidence, skills and experiences. The project is co-designed with the girls, who deliver their own social action project based on their needs, learning and interests.

During the year we worked with 3 cohorts, engaging 34 girls into personal development and community social action.

We achieved the following outputs and outcomes:

National Citizens Service (NCS)

Newark participated in the 2nd and final year of the NCS programme. We recruited 48, 16-17 year olds to participate in 12-14 hours in 3 key areas; lifeskills, employability and social action. The project enabled us to work with young people from Tower Hamlets and Newham and provide them with structured opportunities to develop their confidence, life experiences and employability skills.

Turing Project

Through our strategic collaboration with IBD partnership, we supported schools in Tower Hamlets and Newham to apply for the Turing Scheme. The programme fully funds educational visits to Europe and rest of the world. Our young people have very little opportunity to travel and experience the language and culture of other countries. The project represented a great opportunity to empower children to broaden their horizons and gain invaluable life experiences. With our help, 4 schools (Monega - Newham, Mowlem, Marion Richardson and London Enterprise Academy - Tower Hamlets) were successful in taking 164 children to Spain, France, Italy and Bangladesh.

Youth Voice and Leadership

Newark has a long history of supporting young people to step up into youth leadership roles, growing into the future youth leaders and trustees. This year we ran our leadership programme for 10 young people, giving them the opportunity to develop their confidence and skills through volunteering and helping to run our youth projects.

Jack Petchey Achievement Awards

Newark Youth London is enrolled on the Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme and every year 9 young people are awarded £300 each to spend on their peers and for their youth clubs/football teams. The awards are designed to motivate and encourage young people to be positive and take responsibility for their action and behaviour.

Just Smiles

The project has been engaging local young people and volunteers to support homeless people in London and other parts of the UK for over 8 years. The young people learn about the homeless community in London and show their support by raising money and buying winter packs for distribution. Every year we aim to distribute 500 packs and help our partners on their events, delivering food and other items and volunteering in the soup kitchens.

Annual Awards Ceremony

Newark Youth London’s 40th Anniversary was celebrated at a glittering gala event, where we were able to honour those who helped the early formation of the charity, our current friends and supporters, and of course, the achievements of our young people. Around 200 people attended the celebration, including the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and together we watched videos, sharing the history of Newark.

OUR IMPACT

Our focus has been to support young people to overcome the challenges they experience regularly. This has primarily been through:

Our impact is measured in terms of our young people being able to develop themselves, create and take advantage of opportunities in life and keep themselves safe.

Serving our community

A map of attendees at Newark activities during the year shows that we have a wide reach across the whole borough of Tower Hamlets and beyond. During the year to 31st March 2025 we recorded in our Upshot database 1,641 individual participants, who attended on over 13,899 occasions. We recorded over 724 sessions delivered during the year ranging from sports to 1-2-1 mentoring. This represents over 41,000 hours of positive contact with young people.

A significant 32% of the young people who attended our sessions during the year live in the lowest ranked 20% of neighbourhoods on the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation, indicating the level of poverty and deprivation and life challenges our young people face. This is an increase from 29% the previous year. Around 12% reported to us that they have a disability, serious allergy, asthma or eczema. As in previous years, 3% told us they were Not in Education, Employment or Training, and 2% told us they had caring responsibilities. Furthermore, 116 young people reported to us upon joining that they did not exercise regularly and 10 young people said they were lonely and isolated.

Although this data does not capture everything we did during the year, it contributes to the overall picture of the scale of our delivery looking at all of our programmes combined, and the number of young people whose lives we impacted across the borough.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Football Academy

Our football activities engage children and young people and keep them involved in positive activities and away from anti-social behaviour and crime. It develops their passion for sport and healthy lifestyle and improves their attitude, behaviour, commitment and dedication. They learn to work for success, teamwork, accepting defeats and becoming resilient. The young people improve their confidence, self-esteem, interpersonal skills and develop strong friendship and understanding between each other. It also gives older youths the opportunity to volunteer, gain coaching and leadership awards and develop their employability skills. We use football as a tool to engage young people and later provide advice and support to help them develop their skills and experiences so they can access training and employment opportunities. Football is often the route through which many young people start with their personal journey with Newark, as we then encourage them to take advantage of all the other programmes we have on offer.

Youth clubs

Approximately, 1,155 young people attended one of our youth clubs during the year. The young people get the opportunity to meet and socialise with other young people, which they enjoy. They also get the opportunity to participate in a wide range of workshops and activities which support them to develop individually, gain accredited qualifications, bolster their CV and learn something new in a different setting to school. Our programme aims to support young people to make positive life choices and develop goals and ambitions, develop critical thinking and be resilient to the negative issues they may experience in their lives.

Girls Volleyball Team

We were delighted to announce in January 2025 that IBD Partnership agreed to sponsor our Girls Volleyball team. The team is affiliated to Volleyball England and have competed in Regional Tournaments. The sponsorship enabled us to provide the team with high-quality kit, a visible demonstration of our investment in girls’ sport. The team trains at John Orwell Sports Centre in Wapping every Thursday. The project is a collaboration with Wapping Wildcats volleyball organisation.

Basketball for Girls

As part of our youth club, we deliver basketball for girls from Mulberry School. In their feedback they told us.

“Newark Youth London has been able to provide excellent training in basketball since the beginning of the year. It has been brilliant to watch the confidence of my students grow with each session. They have been able to cultivate a wonderful safe space for our students to learn new skills, work in a team and get fit. Many of the students become passionate champions of sport and have even created their own lunch time club to practice before their session. I would like to thank everyone from Newark Youth London for this amazing partnership.”

Holiday Programmes

Holiday programmes offer young people exciting and fun opportunities to engage in positive activities and stay out of trouble in the school holidays. This year we engaged over 210 young people at our holiday programmes.

As part of our HAF funded holiday programme in Tower Hamlets we provided a hot meal to every child at every session. The service was an important lifeline for families during the school holidays with the cost-of-living crisis. We delivered indoor and outdoor activity sessions, sports, as well as day trips and community celebration days. The young people had the opportunity to try new activities with experienced staff and volunteers on hand to coach and guide them.

Thanks to funding from L&Q housing association we were able to extend our summer provision to the new housing development in Beam Park, London Borough of Havering. As a new development there are no facilities yet for young people. Drawing on our usual resilience and ingenuity, we were able to provide fun, attractive and engaging activities for young people living on the estate. This was really impactful, with one parent commenting how their child had not yet made friends even though they had been living in the area for nearly 2 years.

Young and Active Tower Hamlets & Newham

We ran 4 different sports sessions for young people in Tower Hamlets and Newham, enabling 249 children to actively play sport, through the provision of 160 sessions, with support from some great volunteers.

Work It Hub

Young people remain uncertain about their chances of securing a job, decent income and about their academic record. As a result they continue to experience low motivation and personal confidence. Through Work-it Hub young people are supported to create individual action plans to help them identify their short, medium and long term career goals. They are given advice on options and supported to build their portfolio of skills and qualifications. By giving attention to each individual, we are able to explore their interests and motivations and match them to education, training and employment opportunities.

The funding this year enabled us to provide a programme of short courses targeted at disadvantaged young people aged 14 to 25, aimed at supporting them into education, employment or training. This was in direct response to the priorities identified by the young people, who wanted to have the opportunity to do courses that would help them gain employment or training, provide new skills and help them get into college. This included accreditation in First Aid at work, Customer Service, Food Safety and Safeguarding. For some young people, it was their first opportunity to attain a recognised qualification or award, which gave them stepping stones to build on and progress.

As well as the 1-2-1 support and accredited courses, we delivered four workshops covering CV writing, interview skills, confidence building and made links with a number of external education and training providers. Young people were alerted to job and training opportunities and assisted to make applications. Through our partnership approach, we were able to refer young people to other services and opportunities they could access that would further support their journey. This included Workpath, Job Centre Plus, SIA and CSCS training courses, and volunteering opportunities. We made 8 referrals to Centre Point to support young people with their housing needs.

During the year our highly skilled and experienced Education & Employment Mentor delivered 142 one-to-one support sessions to 53 young people. Young people received personalised support to address everything from personal hygiene, appropriate clothing, interview behaviour and body language as well as developing their CV, practice verbal reasoning and situational judgement, develop model answers, experience mock interviews and prepare the videos that some employers now request.

Four young people secured sustainable employment as a result of the support they received including jobs at Dexters Letting Agent, DVSA Test Centre, Youth Ambassador at an Arts Centre and as a team member at Lovisa.

4 young people secured work experience placements at Canary Wharf Group and another 4 young people secured volunteering opportunities.

Girls in Action

During the year we continued with our very successful Girls in Action project, with another 3 cohorts totalling 34 girls participating in this programme this year. All the girls took part in volunteering activities with each cohort delivering a social action project, such as advocacy around genocide in Congo. The participants decided on their project, researched the issues, made posters to raise awareness of the issues and also carried out activities to raise funds for their chosen cause.

Girls in Action presenting to rest of the group

25 girls achieved an accredited qualification during the programme, and 97% reported their positive experience of the project. 100% reported being more confident to be themselves and not feel pressured to be like others; 90% said they have participated in activities they believed would bolster their CV.

One participant said, “I was made a leader and it helped my confidence as it was a role I didn’t know how to uphold but I grew to enjoy it as it made me respectable and I enjoyed the responsibilities.”

National Citizen Service

The NCS programme enabled 16 to 17 year-olds from Tower Hamlets and Newham the opportunity to develop their lifeskills and employability skills through attending regular youth clubs and sports sessions, workshops on budgeting, and accredited courses such as first aid and food safety, and delivering social action project of their choice. They developed their confidence, leadership & communication skills and had practical experiences to boost their CV and personal statement.

Turing Scheme

The Turing project demonstrates our commitment to fostering an environment where both primary and secondary school students can embark on a life changing journey abroad. These experiences not only enrich the students' academic pursuits but also cultivate essential life skills, cultural awareness, and global citizenship.

Youth Voice

We support young people to take a lead and shape the organisation based on their ideas, needs and decision making. Through a process of co-production young people inform the design, delivery and evaluation of our services. We take an asset-based approach which starts with the positive resources and skills within young people and channel this to develop their leadership skills.

As well as young people participating in our youth leadership programme, we also run a quarterly Youth Board. The Youth Board decides what programmes they want delivered at Newark Youth London and how programmes and services can be improved. The Youth Board presents to the Trustees giving direct feedback and recommendations.

Young leaders being recognised at our 40[th] Anniversary Gala event

We have learned to be transparent with young people from the outset and listen to what they want to deliver and achieve. We use this to inform the planning of projects in conjunction with them. We have also learned to trust and empower young people to make decisions about how their projects will be delivered. This builds trust and engagement with the young people and also their parents.

Our young people’s voices are being heard and they are becoming leaders in the community. They become motivated to continue projects with Newark and volunteer to provide further change in the community. This helps Newark to with the succession of young people interested in being on our Youth Board and progression into sessional staff and trustees for the future

OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE PLANS

Newark Youth London’s long-standing focus on steady growth and sustainability has provided the charity with a solid foundation and has enabled us to remain strong as we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creation of Newark in 2024.

This has meant we are relatively secure financially and are working hard to continue our fundraising efforts through a planned and active programme of grant applications. We were excited this year to be able to secure new or additional funding to run programmes during the year including:

At our awayday in October 2024, the trustees reviewed progress against the detailed 3-year plan developed the previous October, agreeing actions to ensure we remain on track to achieve our goals. We continue to seek to strengthen delivery in neighbouring London Boroughs and explore options for an alternative building to act as the hub for Newark youth services once we no longer have access to the Council’s youth hubs.

The charity pursues a planned programme of grant/contract applications to build the future income stream of the charity. Our diverse range of services and income sources help provide a core of resilience to support us through forthcoming changes. However, like many other charity and community groups, we are finding it increasingly competitive to succeed in applying for grant funding, and greater effort and time is required to constantly make grant applications in order to try to build a future grant income stream.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Financial review

The results for the year are set out on 15.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Risk Management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The Trustees participated in an away weekend in October 2024 during which we reviewed risks and risk management in detail.

The top three risks identified were:

Structure, governance and management

Public Benefit

The trustees reviewed the aims, objectives and activities of the charity as part of developing the new strategic plan. The Trustees considered a number of possible future scenarios for the UK following the pandemic, and agreed the continued role and activities of Newark Youth London in supporting local people.

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Fundraising

Newark Youth London does not have a fundraising department, or any staff dedicated to fundraising activity. Rather, the task of fundraising sits with either the director or Trustees and volunteers. The charity does not employ third parties to raise funds on behalf of the charity, with the exception of the use from time to time of consultants to write grant applications. At all times responsibility for the content of the grant application remains with Newark Youth London.

The trustees are involved in an annual fundraising programme, Just Smiles, which is run each winter with the aim of raising funds to provide packs of personal items and gifts for people who are experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping during the winter.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and managed by a board of Trustees.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Newark Youth London Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Chartered Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Newark Youth London Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 416 H Sims House, Commercial Road, Tower Hamlets, London, E1 0LQ.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees 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 the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is 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.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Expenditure

A liability is recognised when either a legal or constructive obligation is identified. Irrecoverable VAT is classified in the same way as the transaction to which it relates.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Computers 25% Straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Investment property

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

It is considered that the value has not significantly changed from the date of acquisition date till the year end.
