North Yorkshire Youth - Annual Report 2022-2023

Chairman’s Report We have been busy!

The year ending March 23 started in the same vein as the previous year – busy! Recovery from the pandemic seems complete in many ways with a very full season at Carlton Lodge and the contracts run by the Youth Development team continuing to provide the much-needed services to the young people we support in the way originally intended by our contract managers and funders.

allocated. All this additional demand has been completed against a backdrop of developments and change. Officially during the year Mark, our Development Manager and previous Head of Centre, retired at the beginning of the year and Gillian, our long serving Administrative support, also retired at the end of the year. Both will be greatly missed and go with our heartfelt thanks for all the work they have done during their time at NYY.

Having said recovery seems complete, we then had to deal with the cost-of-living crisis. This unsurprisingly had more subtle impacts on us then the pandemic lockdown. Running costs increased, salary costs increased, and recruitment became harder. This, on top of having to support more customers at Carlton Lodge through the bursary fund and more young people accessing the support services offered, means we have done more with what was originally

From an infrastructure perspective, the offices received a well desired makeover and the demolition of the Bunkhouse took place, getting the ground work completed for the new Lakehouse building to take place in 23 -24.

Externally, we have been asked to take on new pieces of work. In fact, this year saw the first contract working with the NHS in partnership with North Yorkshire Council and

other organisations. Our North Yorkshire Together continues to expand working with Anglo American and The Woodsmith Foundation and during the year we received external recognition from Radio York ‘Make a Difference Awards 2022’ with a ‘Highly Commended’ in the ‘Together Award’ category for our FEAST programme.

Finally, I would like to make my usual thank you to all the supporters of NYY who have volunteered, raised funds and help support young people. Without this, NYY would not be able to achieve as much. Also, my thanks to the trustees and staff for their contribution, commitment and energy which, alongside the volunteers, makes NYY the exceptional organisation it is.

Message from the Chief Executive

Turnaround, funded by the Ministry of Justice through North Yorkshire County. It is another iteration of our Youth Mentor programme, but with very strict referral and acceptance criteria. It aims to support young people at risk of criminality, who aren’t currently receiving any other support services from statutory partners.

Welcome to the 2022 – 23 Annual Report for North Yorkshire Youth. This year has felt like a watershed moment for the organisation.

We are clearly in a period of growth which our accounts demonstrate, but it’s much more than just financially that things are changing. We have secured new contracts, committed to building a new residential accommodation block, recruited new staff and developed new ways of working – using technology and internal restructures to achieve these changes.

In addition to these new contracts, we also successfully retendered for our Universal Services work, which is voluntary sector youth provision infrastructure work, along with running youth clubs. Potentially this contract could last seven years which is fantastic, and very welcome.

Starting with new contracts; we began our first ever direct contract work with the NHS. Our Changed Direction model was used in a partnership bid led by NYCC (as was), along with other voluntary and statutory providers. The aim is to help young people make sensible choices, support their mental health and ultimately reduce the need to use NHS services.

As well as the work NYY is doing on its own, the North Yorkshire Together brand, a partnership with Rural Arts and North Yorkshire Sport, is certainly expanding. The initial work for the DfE Holiday Activity Fund, FEAST, has been confirmed for a further 2 years. FEAST has been so successful that we received a Highly Commended award from Radio York in their annual awards ceremony in the ‘Working Together’ category. We have also been working closely with the Woodsmith Foundation and Anglo American on a wrap around support service called ‘Achieve’ which we hope will begin next year. The programme supports young people with youth mentors, extra curricula opportunities and cultural passports

Rank Net Foundation awarded us a ‘Golden Award’, one of only 200 across the country. The award recognised their 50th anniversary, allowing us to continue for another year the Bright Sparks work under the guise of Wild Sparks, mixing heritage crafts with outdoor activities.

The other major contract success is

among many other things. It is designed to enrich the lives of the young people on the programme. Based in Scarborough and Redcar, this programme should provide the opportunity for young people to realise their potential, and help them achieve their goals, whatever those may be.

Last year I reported that we were committed to replacing the Bunkhouse. I’m pleased to report that this commitment is coming to fruition. Funding has been secured, planning permission granted, builders have been engaged and the first phase has been completed – demolition of the Bunkhouse. Construction will be completed by May 23, and with the new facility we will be able to offer a modern, bespoke accommodation package that will provide us with much more flexibility for groups booking the Centre.

Other physical changes on site include the Stand up Paddle board stores, redecoration of the office facilities, and the removal of our on site computer server. The last moves us onto using Microsoft 365 and SharePoint cloud based storage, and is helping us make the required transitions to more secure accounting systems, as well

as reducing our need for hardware in the offices. Alongside the office redecoration we took the opportunity to declutter, and move to a less paper based organisation, using electronic systems to store information such as staff files. We are in the process of scanning and shredding old documents to produce a universal system.

In terms of staffing, this year has seen recruitment and retirements take place. Clearly the new contracts have needed us to employ new staff, and the Youth Development Team restructure has meant some changes. We are now employing 66 staff ranging from 2.5 hours a week to full time. Compared to 10 years ago when we had 22 staff, requiring a significant increase in my time as CEO.

I mentioned retirements, and we have said goodbye to two long

standing members of staff, whose knowledge and experience will take years to replace. Firstly, Mark Faulkner our Development Manager, and previous Head of Centre, officially retired in Oct and then shortly afterwards, following 15 years of service, Gillian Harrison our Administrator also retired. They are both greatly missed, but we wish them all the best in their retirement, and whatever adventures that may bring.

From a staffing perspective, as usual, we couldn’t be the organisation we are without the amazing people that I work alongside. All 66 of them! The expansion and diversity we now cover is testament to their hard work and commitment. So this is my official thanks to them for all their hard work and professionalism that makes NYY an organisation trusted and called upon to support young people across the County.

Looking forward to next year, there is the very real possibility that it will be just as interesting as this year. The local government restructure is being completed on the 1st April, creating the new North Yorkshire Council, and the ICB (integrated Care Board) is still working through its transition. We also have the back drop of a cost of living crisis that is impacting on young people just as much as adults. We also have a building to finish, contracts to finish co-producing, and more staff to recruit, so we certainly won’t be sitting back thinking we can have a rest, because the job is far from done!

Youth Development Team

The Youth Development Team have had a great year with some new projects and new staff! We have had a re-structure and been able to put a new manager in place for our Universal Services Contract. 18 Youth Clubs are running under this contract which includes 3 brand new LGBTQ clubs. Voluntary Youth Provision has started to increase again after Covid, and communities seem to be offering new opportunities and making real difference for their young people.

Every year I introduce you to another new project and this year is no different! Working with North Yorkshire Together we have started work on the new Achieve project for the North Yorkshire Coast. This work is funded by AngloAmerican and the Woodsmith Foundation and is offering some fantastic opportunities for young people! We are very excited about this new project and the prospects for the young people engaged in the programme.

This year we have seen our Change Direction funding extended by the Ministry of Justice Turnaround Project. We are working in partnership with North Yorkshire Council on this project to provide the best support possible for the young people referred to this programme.

Both Achieve and Turnaround will bring more new staff to the Youth Development Team, and we can’t wait for them to join the NYY family.

The team has invested time and energy this year in becoming more Trauma Informed. Most staff have now completed their Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) Framework Trauma Informed Training and are putting this into practise daily. This is benefitting NYY young people and their families tremendously as we all understand the impact of trauma on young people and how it presents in their environments. Along with supporting young people with their trauma we have become more trauma informed as an organisation by having more focus on the welfare and wellbeing of our employees, volunteers, and colleagues. Policies, procedures, and supervision meetings have been updated to meet the demands and challenges of everyday life.

“A Trauma Informed System is one in which every member of the organisation – child, parent and provider feels safe, supported and empowered”.

We continue to work at our very best in the Youth Development Team and embrace every opportunity and challenge that comes our way. I would like to thank the fantastic staff team for another great year and for all the support they not only give young people but myself and each other too. That is what makes us brilliant!

The priorities of the Youth Development team are:

1. Youth Club Liaison

NYY provides this service to all member voluntary youth clubs and community groups that NYY work with. Information, advice, and support are available to volunteers either in person or virtually. This is the responsibility of the Youth and Community Development Workers who visit youth clubs frequently.

2. Training and Resources

A range of training opportunities is made available to NYY Staff, volunteer youth workers and buddies, with NYY Training providing bespoke courses for those NYY support. Alongside the traditional face to face delivery, many courses are offered online. This allows people from anywhere in the world to attend NYY training.

Resources are also created specifically for NYY supported Direct Delivery and Voluntary youth groups e.g. games and activity booklets, as well as specialist, issue-based resources.

3. New Club Development

New youth clubs are developed based on volunteer contact, partner information or by the analysis of community activity. A strong emphasis is placed on consultation with young people and assessment of community need. Resources, model policies and procedures are available and with support a new group can formulate and develop a structure and membership.

4. Volunteer Buddy Network

The team recruits, develops, and engages volunteers into the ‘Buddy Network’, this is offered across North Yorkshire. Adult volunteers give one-to-one support to young people leaving specialist services. They are supported by their local Youth and Community Development Worker who offers advice, guidance, and good practice to Buddies.

5. Capacity Building for Future Provision

The team provides young leader training to young people through workbook activity. This training allows young people to achieve a non-formal accreditation that can then be used to show a basic level of youth work understanding. Providing the young people gain appropriate experience in a volunteer youth worker role, they can move onto further youth work training opportunities.

6. Low Level Prevent Concerns

The Youth Development Team provides a bespoke training course for school focusing on those young people in the pre-prevent space. Wake Up Call is a free 2-day course for

after young person to make a positive difference to their life. An Independent Visitor provides a young person with the opportunity to develop a trusting, reliable and consistent relationship with an adult who will listen to them, offer one to one independent support and advice as well as supporting their involvement in fun social and leisure activities.

8. Reaching Communities Wellbeing Youth Mentoring

North Yorkshire is very diverse and NYY understands that some young people across the county need access to additional support and services. The Reaching Communities Youth Mentoring project supports young people who need that extra support for their mental health and wellbeing. This project sits below CAMHS work and above pastoral care with one-to-one meeting being in schools or the local community.

11. The Achieve Programme

Achieve seeks to improve outcomes for disadvantaged students (aged 11-15) relative to their non-disadvantaged peers. 6 schools will form a pilot group that will receive disproportionate investment over three academic years. These schools will be supported by Youth Mentors from NYY who will carry out 1:1 support for young people on the programme.

9. Change Direction Youth Mentoring

Change Direction is a prevention and early intervention support scheme for young people aged 10-17 in York and North Yorkshire, who may be committing anti-social behaviour or very low-level offences. The intention is to divert them away from the Criminal Justice System. The Change Direction diversion scheme engages young people, at an early stage before criminal behaviour becomes habitual, to improve circumstances for both the young person and the local community. The young person will be provided with nurture and support, from a dedicated Youth Mentor.

Case Study: Detached Youth Work

Greatwood youth club closed from October – December 2022 due to poor behaviour in Youth Club and staff feeling the club needed a re-launch and wanted to hear the views of the Young People in the community. At this time there were increasing reports (on social media community pages) in the community of ASB by young people in Skipton Bus Station, along the Canal and at Ginnel Park. There was also increased reports of ASB and drug use at Greatwood Community Centre.

Youth workers went out detached around Greatwood Estate and Skipton town centre and bus station. The aim of the detached work was to engage with the young people out in the community and to establish reasons for them being in that location. Youth Workers wanted to know what the attraction was, what kind of activities they were interested in and what would draw them into positive activities or a youth provision. A mini consultation was carried out with the young people.

Most of the Young People encountered were the normal attendees of Greatwood Youth Club who had come out to look for the youth workers because youth club was not open. This brought its challenges as it felt like the detached youth work at times was bringing more young people into the problem areas that wouldn’t normally be there. Many of the older young people that were encountered in the bus station were using drugs and alcohol openly. Despite these challenges it was learnt

that Greatwood Youth Club was in the correct location being close to the young people that attend and needed the provision. Some young people felt that youth provision nearer Skipton Centre would be more central and more accessible to all. Some young people felt a Café style approach would be nice rather than a youth club with activities. Young people ‘hanging out on the streets’ were signposted to specialist services and other activities e.g. drug & alcohol services, police cadets, youth activities. Fort those who were under the influence, safety advice was given including keeping your mates safe. ASB was challenged when seen and a preventative approach used e.g. a stolen bike was returned when a Youth Worker challenged a young person, wet toilet paper thrown at a car window was removed when a youth worker asked a young person to remove it. As the nights where dark safety advice was given regarding scooters and bikes. Young people were told about road safety, using lights, and wearing helmets. Potential venues for youth provision were identified by young people and workers including activities they would like to do e.g.: bowling, pool, swimming. Intelligence was also submitted to Police about potential dangers to young people in the area.

The detached consultation work was very informative and successful and allowed the Youth Workers to establish the needs of the young people and the opportunities they felt they needed.

Case Study:

harming and made comments of taking their own life. I have also supported Child A whilst transitioning schools which can often be a time of high anxiety for young people.

I began working with Child A 13 months ago who was referred into Change Direction for having low self confidence and was known for violent and aggressive outbursts. This behaviour presented itself because of the trauma experienced by Child A growing up. Child A had been removed from Mum’s care and placed into the care of other family members. Child A suffered with a high level of separation anxiety and remained in fight or flight mode daily.

Child A makes good progress but will often fall back when things in life get more difficult. Recently, a significant member of Child A’s family had passed away. This has had an enormous negative effect on Child A, and this is something myself, school and family are trying to work on collaboratively to give coping strategies and support in regard to the mental wellbeing of Child A.

At our fist meeting, Child A told me that they would never speak to me about things that were serious in their life. We explored Child A’s interests and hobbies. As a result of this initial work, I was able to build a positive rapport with Child A and we spent a lot of time playing football together. Over the course of the next few months, Child A began speaking to me about things from their past and would often ask when they were going to see me next. Great progress had been made, and even family members told me that they were grateful for the work I had done with them, and they recognised the value that mentoring gave this young person.

I feel that this young person’s story highlights not only the genuine need for mentoring support, but also the nature of the type of young people Change Direction are working with. There are many other young people like Child A that need longer interventions and require an even higher level of support, particularly around their mental wellbeing. Mental health services are already stretched, and with long waiting lists, I have concerns about the negative impact this will have on young people moving into their teenage and adult years.

I have been able to support Child A through many things such as creating a safety plan for when Child A was self-

Case Study: Change Direction Fishing

Child Z has an allocated Social Worker and a current child protection plan. The referral was made to Change Direction to provide support, motivation, and direction for Child Z.

Child Z is in year 11 and not in education and hasn’t been for several months and has no desire to return to education. Child Z has been associating with a group in the area known to the Police causing ASB within the local community and has been identified as someone who could potentially been drawn down the wrong pathway. Child Z is angry and very argumentative and will often argue with mum and has caused significant amounts of damage to the family home. Child Z is known to be a regular user of cannabis and generally lacks any form of motivation or direction in their life and has little or no future goals or aspirations.

Child Z was very difficult to engage with at the start and it took several weeks to get any engagement or trust. Through perseverance with Child Z we finally got some engagement and they agreed to take up the support been offered to them. In the following sessions we had some positive discussions and developed some trust, Child Z felt there wasn’t many people they could trust. Child Z had been offered some Ju jistsu martial arts sessions which had been funded and supported through the Safer Hambleton Hub. They started to access this which gave us a good starting point and opened up

further discussions about what the might like to do. The key starting point was to develop some interest in social activities to divert them away from their peer group. Child Z was offered various activities including Fishing, this was something they had done several years before and had spent many hours fishing on rivers and lakes in their local area before moving away. Child Z had to leave their fishing tackle behind and hasn’t been able to do any fishing since moving away. Child Z talked passionately about how much they enjoyed Fishing and wanted to start again but they didn’t have any fishing tackle available to them or the opportunities to go anywhere. Child Z said they loved fishing as it allowed them to get away from the groups that were getting into trouble, and it gave them freedom. They also loved catching the big fish. Child Z is very excited about starting fishing again with their Change Direction Youth Mentor. The trust over the weeks has opened with Child Z allowing further discussions about their future and we have started to look at what they might do when they officially finish school. Child Z is starting to think and make some positives decisions about their future and what they will do for employment and social activities. Child Z no longer smokes cannabis and is pursuing a healthier lifestyle and is attending regular Ju Jitsu twice weekly. Child Z has planned fishing sessions at a local fishery.

Carlton Lodge Activity Centre

The biggest development during the last year is the start of the new Lake House. It will be both physically the biggest and also has the biggest potential impact on Carlton Lodge. A lot

of work has gone into getting this far, from the Board and exec getting the planning, funding and seemly endless legalities sorted; to the staff getting it cleaned, stocked and up and running will be the challenge in 2023. Once completed it will be great to see it providing a base for even more young people.

Staying with structural change – the Chicken Shed was completed and has seen quite a lot of action already. We’ve got fairly regular visits from an Elective Home Education group who use this as a base. Sally, our LAHF (Learning and Heritage Facilitator) has been getting quite a few schools taking up her offers of Fossil Making and Hapa zome; which make a great addition to the more well-known activities on offer!

We had some staffing changes to factor into things; Jake and Sam, our Senior Instructors both moved on within a couple of months of each other – we wish them both all the best in their future endeavours. A good pool of candidates applied for the vacancy and after much deliberation we now have Connor as our SI. He seems to be settling in well and getting to grips with everything that is thrown his way. He’s already been on a PPE inspection course, and has some good ideas which we’ll have to try out.

Bookings Manager, Judith Worrall, organised the Yorkshire Cogs and Roses Cycle Club Ladies only Sportive in July. This was the 7th edition and was very well attended as usual. Judith has decided to take a break from this voluntary role and she’s very proud to have had over 3000 ladies take part and raise over £140,000 for charity. Thanks for all the hard work, and we all hope you’ll do another in the future. In the meantime, Velo 29 are running the event under the name – La Femme, which I’m sure will be fantastic.

The facilities team saw Michaela promoted to Facilities Manager – she’s straight into the busy time and is getting stuck in. There’s lots to learn so we wish you all the best.

The Hambleton Paddlers Canoe Club have been based at Carlton Lodge for many years now and this continues to be a mutually beneficial relationship. They donated £200 to our Bursary Fund this year which was a lovely gesture. The Head Coach, Des, also gave up his own time to run some water safety sessions for The Crucial Crew who came back again.

A very exciting opportunity came our way in summer, when local lass Jasmine Harrison decided to establish a new World Record and become the first woman to swim from Land’s End to John O’Groats. The lake at Carlton Lodge became a regular training venue, and as we got to know her, the more it became apparent that she needed lots of voluntary help on her awesome journey, including a safety kayaker to paddle alongside her. Enter Activities Manager Bex and her amazing kayaking skills. It didn’t take much to persuade the bosses that we should be supporting amazing young local women, so Bex spent the entirety of August sea kayaking from Wales via Ireland and the Isle of Man to Scotland. Jasmine finished her project thanks to determination, strength, fitness, resilience and the support of some great local businesses.

The local Community Payback have also been coming to the lodge for years now. Organised by The Worralls and supervised by Ian Smith, they have kept the Lodge looking good by painting, sweeping, mending, weeding and anything else that we ask of them. They are a real asset who are mostly unseen as they only come on quiet Sundays, but we certainly can tell the difference and appreciate it. It’s apparent that the ‘clients’ notice a

difference as well because this year we had a couple of previous ‘clients’ pop back in to say hello to the Ians – one of whom made a bench in his own time and donated it to the centre!

Also in summer we started our newest activity – Stand Up Paddleboarding. This has been an instant hit with all our regular groups requesting it and the instructors loving leading the session. We have two ‘safety’ SUPs and two 17ft (5 metre) boards for our groups to try and stand on. It has proven to be a really fun session but definitely a wet one! No one gets away without a dunking, so we are dishing out wetsuits unless it’s really hot!

Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31st March 2022

As you can see from the accounts, we have had a successful year, producing a significant surplus. As always, this surplus will be reinvested in the organisation, to repay borrowings previously made, and to finance ongoing improvements. A substantial amount of the surplus anticipated in future years will be used to finance our new accommodation block, The Lakehouse, the foundations for which have been laid, the building being scheduled for completion in early May 23. The Lakehouse will provide an up-to-date facility able to cope with the demands of visiting groups, and the flexibility to increase the number of young people who can stay all year round. We are very excited about the new building and would like to thank Lloyds Bank for their support throughout the project.

In the coming year, we will be looking at our staff team and activity provision to ensure that we are continually improving our support to the young people of North Yorkshire. Our aim is to invest in permanent staff as well as apprentices, giving us the stability in staffing to ensure our excellent service is maintained.

Our Youth Team have helped push our turnover up, winning additional contracts due to their continuing passion for

ensuring young people get the help they need when they need it. With contracts now in excess of £650k across the year it’s certainly a significant contribution to the support services young people receive in North Yorkshire.

Both the Carlton Lodge and Youth Teams are hugely passionate, professional and dedicated and as such they deserve a massive vote of thanks from us all. They make everything possible. I believe our recovery following the pandemic has had much to do with the enormous amount of work and effort our team put in during and after the lockdown, resulting in a satisfying increase in workload as constraints were eased. Well done !!!

As ever, I would like to thank our Auditors for completing the audit, and for their patience in dealing with the unending queries from the Treasurer.

Finally, again I would like to thank our Chief Executive for his help during the year, for his enthusiasm and determination in ensuring this period of recovery has been successful.

Funders and Supports

North Yorkshire Youth can’t operate independently. We rely on supports, funders and partnership agencies to achieve the incredible outcomes that you have seen in this report.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2023

The Trustees present their Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Trustees, who are also Directors of North Yorkshire Youth Limited (NYY) for the purpose of Company Law and who served during the year and up to the date of this Report, are set out on Page 1.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The Charity is governed by the Company's Memorandum and Articles dated 21 July 2006.

North Yorkshire Youth Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association. Charity number 1116521 and Company number 05883684.

Governing Body and appointment of trustees

The Trustees, who serve as members of the Charity, are elected by the members in general meeting. The President and Vice Presidents are not Trustees, but are entitled to attend and participate in general meetings.

Trustee Training

New trustees are inducted into the working environment of the Charity, and also of the company as a registered Charity, including trustees' policies and procedures.

Organisational and Day to Day Management

The trustees meet quarterly to determine the general policy of the Charity, and review its overall management and control for which they are legally responsible. The Trustees delegate the day to day management to the Chief Executive, David Sharp, and his staff. Key management remuneration policy is reviewed annually by a Trustee sub committee.

Risk Management

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. External risks to funding will be mitigated by allowing for diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects, and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Charity.

Public Benefit

North Yorkshire Youth Limited has continued to provide programmes of personal development for children and young people nationally. In order to meet the Charity's objectives, NYY carry out a number of different activities mainly in the North Yorkshire region including:

The Trustees confirm that they 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 for future activities.

Page 2

North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors' Report) For the Year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and Activities

To promote, encourage and facilitate the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people in North Yorkshire and elsewhere by introducing them through a range of personal development approaches, including voluntary youth work, to a range of challenging leisure time activities, to provide facilities and train workers for such activities, and to do all such other things, singly or in partnership with other statutory or voluntary organisations and agencies, as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of these aims.

Strategic Aims and Objectives

North Yorkshire Youth Limited will be a proactive and sustainable organisation that makes a significant contribution to the learning and development of young people. In delivering this vision NYY will remain influential in a changing business and political environment , and we will deliver this through:-

Principal Activity

The charity's principal activity continues to be the provision of programmes of personal development for children and young people.

Achievements and Performance

Achievements and Performance

The financial performance this year has very much been one of growth and recovery.

New contracts, new schools visiting Carlton Lodge, staffing restructures and the commitment from the charity to replace the bunkhouse.

Other than the new building, which we will fund over the next few years, the impact has been positive from a financial perspective.

Carlton Lodge Activity Centre

Increased numbers of schools, increased numbers of participants and investments in the Centre, notably the replacement for the Bunkhouse, called the Lakehouse, have all contributed to a very positive picture. The recovery from the pandemic continues, with a fully uninterrupted year, has demonstrated the value placed on outdoor residential visits by schools and youth leaders alike.

Ensuring that we remain flexible and adaptable has been the key to supporting as many young people as we have. Our Bookings manager has developed bespoke packages and worked with customers to meet their needs so as to maximize our busy periods, but to also encourage use in the historically quieter months such as November and March. These increases make a big difference, which can be seen in the year end financial performance.

In addition to increases in bookings, we have also invested in the Centre. Examples are the new stand up paddle boards, developments in archery equipment and the High Ropes course. The aim is to provide young people with new experiences and keeping the Centre refreshed.

We have also invested in staff, with the first ever permanent facilities contracts being created to ensure we have the high quality workforce we need to provide the visiting groups with the service they expect. We also slightly restructured at the end of the year, employing a Facilities Manager who will have oversight of catering and buildings. This should drive up the quality of what we do, as well as ensuring the organisation has the capacity to cope with the increase in groups of young people.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors' Report) for the Year ended 31 March 2023

Youth Development Team

Following a successful retender process in September of the Universal Services Contract from North Yorkshire Council, we will be the voluntary sector infrastructure support for voluntary youth clubs for the next seven years. This new contract creates stability for us and the sector, and means we will have been supporting the sector for over 20 years. It also allows us to invest in staff, equipment and systems to ensure the voluntary sector keeps providing positive activities for young people in a safe, friendly and high quality environment.

In addition to the retender of the Universal Services contract, we had two new contracts starting in the last quarter of the year. The Achieve programme, which is funded jointly by The Woodsmith Foundation and Anglo American, is a programme of interventions based on our youth mentor model. It uses extra curricula activities alongside our 1 to 1 support service, providing young people with an immersive programme designed to ensure they reach their potential. Based in four schools in the Scarborough District, the programme will run for two years. The other contract is the Turnaround programme. Funded by the Ministry of Justice through North Yorkshire Council, it is an iteration of our Change Direction Youth Mentor programme, with a specific referral process. This programme also runs for two years, and it is hoped that both will make a significant impact on young peoples’ lives, and will be continued post April 2026.

The addition of the new contracts alongside the current work has meant that financially the youth development team is contributing significant funds to the organisation allowing us to invest in additional staff. A restructure during the year created a Head of Youth Service, who oversees all the contracts, and a Youth Work Manager who manages the universal services contract. The investment allows us to keep developing our services to meet the ever increasing needs of young people across the County.

Financial review and reserves policy

The net assets of the charity have increased by £104,681 to £1,478,147 at 31st March 2023 from £1,373,466 at 31 March 2022. The amount of unrestricted funds held by the charity at 31 March 2023 were £1,342,325. Of this amount £1,757,316 relates to fixed assets leaving £(414,991) as free reserves. This is due to the bank loan being taken out to fund the new bunk house building.

The charity’s income is derived from two main activities, Carlton Lodge Centre and Youth Work. The Carlton Lodge Centre income is generated from courses and activities run for schools and other youth organisations. Youth Work is funded through contracts with various institutions and local authorities and grant making bodies.

The reserves policy is reviewed annually. The Charity's reserves are reflected in the value of Carlton Lodge Activity Centre and the equipment required to run activities. These assets have a carrying value of over £1.5m. The Charity only retains sufficient liquid reserves to meet working capital requirements on a day to day basis, repay bank borrowings, and maintain the Centre and its equipment.

Looking forward

Clearly the significant impact we want to make next year is the use of the new Lakehouse building. The new building and the ability to use it for longer in the year should provide us with the ability to increase our usage and as such our turnover.

The Youth Development Team will be starting a new contract in the year, which is in the final stages of development. We will be looking at how we can replace and develop our youth mentor programme, which has contracts and funding deadlines looming. We will also be monitoring how the organisation ensures it retains its ability to provide high quality services with increasing workloads. Therefore, capacity building will be a focus for the Senior Managers in the year, with an emphasis on staff both at Carlton Lodge and the core services of the. This, alongside the recruitment requirements for new youth team contracts, means that personnel will be front and centre of next years work streams.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of North Yorkshire Youth Limited (the “charitable company”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited - continued

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report including the Strategic Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5 the trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are to identify and access the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses, and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Page 7

North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited - continued

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the chartiable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows. 1.1 Charity information North Yorkshire Youth is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The charity’s registered office and the nature of the charity’s principle activities are as stated on the Report of the Board of Trustees. 1.2 Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's governing document, 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. North Yorkshire Youth Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are below.

1.3 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company 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. 1.4 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the company. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for a specific purpose. 1.5 Income All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions are met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donation and legacies are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. Income for the Carlton Lodge Centre is conditional upon the activities taking place. If the visit is after the balance sheet date then income is deferred.

Youth work contract income is recognised when the conditions of the contract are deemed to have been satisfied. If there is uncertainty around the conditions being satisfied then the income is deferred.

1.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure is recognised in the year in which they are incurred.

Support costs allocated to youth work activity is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with support costs included in the grant applications.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.7

Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold Land and Buildings No Depreciation Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 5 or 8 years straight line Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance

Freehold Property has not been depreciated as it is included in the accounts at its open market value. As a result, any depreciation charge would not be material to the accounts. Freehold land is not depreciated. The Freehold Property was revalued on 31st August 2022 by Pinders Chartered Surveyors.

1.8 Debtors

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.

1.9 Cash at bank and in hand

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

1.10

Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 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.

1.11 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.12 Defined contribution pension schemes

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represents the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

1.13 Legal status of the Trust

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee by England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarentee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.

1.14 Redundancy costs

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

Basis of allocation of support costs

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

The Trustees present their Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Trustees, who are also Directors of North Yorkshire Youth Limited (NYY) for the purpose of Company Law and who served during the year and up to the date of this Report, are set out on Page 1.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The Charity is governed by the Company's Memorandum and Articles dated 21 July 2006.

North Yorkshire Youth Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association. Charity number 1116521 and Company number 05883684.

Governing Body and appointment of trustees

The Trustees, who serve as members of the Charity, are elected by the members in general meeting. The President and Vice Presidents are not Trustees, but are entitled to attend and participate in general meetings.

Trustee Training

New trustees are inducted into the working environment of the Charity, and also of the company as a registered Charity, including trustees' policies and procedures.

Organisational and Day to Day Management

The trustees meet quarterly to determine the general policy of the Charity, and review its overall management and control for which they are legally responsible. The Trustees delegate the day to day management to the Chief Executive, David Sharp, and his staff. Key management remuneration policy is reviewed annually by a Trustee sub committee.

Risk Management

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. External risks to funding will be mitigated by allowing for diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects, and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Charity.

Public Benefit

North Yorkshire Youth Limited has continued to provide programmes of personal development for children and young people nationally. In order to meet the Charity's objectives, NYY carry out a number of different activities mainly in the North Yorkshire region including:

The Trustees confirm that they 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 for future activities.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors' Report) For the Year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and Activities

To promote, encourage and facilitate the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people in North Yorkshire and elsewhere by introducing them through a range of personal development approaches, including voluntary youth work, to a range of challenging leisure time activities, to provide facilities and train workers for such activities, and to do all such other things, singly or in partnership with other statutory or voluntary organisations and agencies, as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of these aims.

Strategic Aims and Objectives

North Yorkshire Youth Limited will be a proactive and sustainable organisation that makes a significant contribution to the learning and development of young people. In delivering this vision NYY will remain influential in a changing business and political environment , and we will deliver this through:-

Principal Activity

The charity's principal activity continues to be the provision of programmes of personal development for children and young people.

Achievements and Performance

Achievements and Performance

The financial performance this year has very much been one of growth and recovery.

New contracts, new schools visiting Carlton Lodge, staffing restructures and the commitment from the charity to replace the bunkhouse.

Other than the new building, which we will fund over the next few years, the impact has been positive from a financial perspective.

Carlton Lodge Activity Centre

Increased numbers of schools, increased numbers of participants and investments in the Centre, notably the replacement for the Bunkhouse, called the Lakehouse, have all contributed to a very positive picture. The recovery from the pandemic continues, with a fully uninterrupted year, has demonstrated the value placed on outdoor residential visits by schools and youth leaders alike.

Ensuring that we remain flexible and adaptable has been the key to supporting as many young people as we have. Our Bookings manager has developed bespoke packages and worked with customers to meet their needs so as to maximize our busy periods, but to also encourage use in the historically quieter months such as November and March. These increases make a big difference, which can be seen in the year end financial performance.

In addition to increases in bookings, we have also invested in the Centre. Examples are the new stand up paddle boards, developments in archery equipment and the High Ropes course. The aim is to provide young people with new experiences and keeping the Centre refreshed.

We have also invested in staff, with the first ever permanent facilities contracts being created to ensure we have the high quality workforce we need to provide the visiting groups with the service they expect. We also slightly restructured at the end of the year, employing a Facilities Manager who will have oversight of catering and buildings. This should drive up the quality of what we do, as well as ensuring the organisation has the capacity to cope with the increase in groups of young people.

Youth Development Team

Following a successful retender process in September of the Universal Services Contract from North Yorkshire Council, we will be the voluntary sector infrastructure support for voluntary youth clubs for the next seven years. This new contract creates stability for us and the sector, and means we will have been supporting the sector for over 20 years. It also allows us to invest in staff, equipment and systems to ensure the voluntary sector keeps providing positive activities for young people in a safe, friendly and high quality environment.

In addition to the retender of the Universal Services contract, we had two new contracts starting in the last quarter of the year. The Achieve programme, which is funded jointly by The Woodsmith Foundation and Anglo American, is a programme of interventions based on our youth mentor model. It uses extra curricula activities alongside our 1 to 1 support service, providing young people with an immersive programme designed to ensure they reach their potential. Based in four schools in the Scarborough District, the programme will run for two years. The other contract is the Turnaround programme. Funded by the Ministry of Justice through North Yorkshire Council, it is an iteration of our Change Direction Youth Mentor programme, with a specific referral process. This programme also runs for two years, and it is hoped that both will make a significant impact on young peoples’ lives, and will be continued post April 2026.

The addition of the new contracts alongside the current work has meant that financially the youth development team is contributing significant funds to the organisation allowing us to invest in additional staff. A restructure during the year created a Head of Youth Service, who oversees all the contracts, and a Youth Work Manager who manages the universal services contract. The investment allows us to keep developing our services to meet the ever increasing needs of young people across the County.

Financial review and reserves policy

The net assets of the charity have increased by £104,681 to £1,478,147 at 31st March 2023 from £1,373,466 at 31 March 2022. The amount of unrestricted funds held by the charity at 31 March 2023 were £1,342,325. Of this amount £1,757,316 relates to fixed assets leaving £(414,991) as free reserves. This is due to the bank loan being taken out to fund the new bunk house building.

The charity’s income is derived from two main activities, Carlton Lodge Centre and Youth Work. The Carlton Lodge Centre income is generated from courses and activities run for schools and other youth organisations. Youth Work is funded through contracts with various institutions and local authorities and grant making bodies.

The reserves policy is reviewed annually. The Charity's reserves are reflected in the value of Carlton Lodge Activity Centre and the equipment required to run activities. These assets have a carrying value of over £1.5m. The Charity only retains sufficient liquid reserves to meet working capital requirements on a day to day basis, repay bank borrowings, and maintain the Centre and its equipment.

Looking forward

Clearly the significant impact we want to make next year is the use of the new Lakehouse building. The new building and the ability to use it for longer in the year should provide us with the ability to increase our usage and as such our turnover.

The Youth Development Team will be starting a new contract in the year, which is in the final stages of development. We will be looking at how we can replace and develop our youth mentor programme, which has contracts and funding deadlines looming. We will also be monitoring how the organisation ensures it retains its ability to provide high quality services with increasing workloads. Therefore, capacity building will be a focus for the Senior Managers in the year, with an emphasis on staff both at Carlton Lodge and the core services of the. This, alongside the recruitment requirements for new youth team contracts, means that personnel will be front and centre of next years work streams.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of North Yorkshire Youth Limited (the “charitable company”) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited - continued

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report including the Strategic Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5 the trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are to identify and access the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses, and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Page 7

North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of North Yorkshire Youth Limited - continued

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the chartiable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows. 1.1 Charity information North Yorkshire Youth is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The charity’s registered office and the nature of the charity’s principle activities are as stated on the Report of the Board of Trustees. 1.2 Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's governing document, 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. North Yorkshire Youth Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are below.

1.3 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company 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. 1.4 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the company. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for a specific purpose. 1.5 Income All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions are met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donation and legacies are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. Income for the Carlton Lodge Centre is conditional upon the activities taking place. If the visit is after the balance sheet date then income is deferred.

Youth work contract income is recognised when the conditions of the contract are deemed to have been satisfied. If there is uncertainty around the conditions being satisfied then the income is deferred.

1.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure is recognised in the year in which they are incurred.

Support costs allocated to youth work activity is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with support costs included in the grant applications.

North Yorkshire Youth Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.7

Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold Land and Buildings No Depreciation Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 5 or 8 years straight line Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance

Freehold Property has not been depreciated as it is included in the accounts at its open market value. As a result, any depreciation charge would not be material to the accounts. Freehold land is not depreciated. The Freehold Property was revalued on 31st August 2022 by Pinders Chartered Surveyors.

1.8 Debtors

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.

1.9 Cash at bank and in hand

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

1.10

Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 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.

1.11 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.12 Defined contribution pension schemes

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represents the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

1.13 Legal status of the Trust

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee by England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarentee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.

1.14 Redundancy costs

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

Basis of allocation of support costs

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
