## **LISS YOUTH CENTRE LTD (operating as CROSSOVER)**
## **Company No: 5660960 Charity No: 1113791 Accounting Period January – December 2024**
The Company was incorporated on the 22[nd] December 2005 as a Private Company Limited by Guarantee and not having Share Capital. The Directors of the Company are also the Trustees of the Charity. This is the nineteenth annual report of Liss Youth Centre Limited which trades under the title of Crossover.
## **1. Trustees**
The following served as Directors and Trustees
- Benjamin Love - Chairman
- Elisabeth Mullenger
- Robert Buckingham - Treasurer
- John de la Perrelle
- Claire Kirby
- John Noe (retired during 2024)
- Patricia Evans
- Stephen Read
We can confirm that the Trustees have complied with their “duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit” as published by the Commission, in exercising their powers or duties.
Liss Parish Council appoints a Councillor as observer to the Trustee Board. This position does not hold voting rights.
Some of our Trustees are also volunteers at the sessions run for the young people.
## **2. Directors Report**
During 2024 there were four main streams to our youth work.
a) After school sessions.
- b) Day time sessions for home educated young people.
c) Dedicated sessions providing one to one support to young people who are no longer in education, training or employment.
- d) Street based youth work.
We are pleased with our work on these four differing responsibilities and we see marked improvement with some of the young people with whom we work. The introduction of music, by our lead Youth Worker, has proved to be a valuable activity for young people. Outdoor activities, including our drop-in tennis sessions during the summer, were very well received.
## **4. The Liss Youth Fund**
This fund, whilst it is managed by ourselves, is a separate charity from Liss Youth Centre and generates its own income, solely from invested funds, which it then allocates out to young people who have completed an application form.
The Trustees of Liss Youth Centre Ltd are also Trustees of The Liss Youth Fund and manage the allocation of funds.
## **5. Staff:**
During 2024 we employed 6 staff, all part time, who were a Centre Manager, a Lead Youth Worker and four part time Youth Workers. They undertake training such as Safeguarding and other training appropriate to their roles.
## **6. Other Details**
Company’s Registered Office: 338 London Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO2 9JY Postal address: St Mary’s Church Hall, Station Road, Liss, Hampshire, GU33 7AQ
## **7. Financial Report**
The finances are in good order. The year end accounts for 2024 have been inspected and the accounts have been lodged with both Charities Commission and Companies House. It is worthwhile noting that raising sufficient funds to continue to offer our services is becoming more difficult as available donations and grants are increasingly hard to obtain. In December the Trustees agreed to hire a professional fund raiser.
Agreed as a correct record of the organisation’s activities.

The Liss Youth Fund (LYF) is a local charity whose assets are managed by Liss Youth Centre with the income and expenditure of LYF being shown separately in the Accounts. The LYF funds are used to make grants to young people in Liss.
## **Note 9 Reserves Policy**
The Financial Reserves Policy of the Charity helps to ensure that the Charity is able to maintain adequate reserves from its funds to cover any reasonably foreseen contingency. The Reserve Funds are -
## 1 Continuity Fund
The regular donations received by the Charity from individuals and local organisations cover only about one-quarter of the Charity's expenditure with the balance of the income being provided by grants and donations. As these are not guaranteed the Trustees consider it prudent to maintain a reserve of some six months of expenditure
## 2 Maintenance Fund
This fund is to be used for major items of maintenance such as decorating and also for the replacement of technical equipment
## 3 Dissolution Fund
This fund provides for the dissolution should the Charity be unable to continue and it is only to be used in the event of the Trustees deciding the Charity should cease to exist. It will be used to pay notice periods and redundancies of staff etc until closure of the Charity.
