Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 1/5/06. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £0.01.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Once the need for new trustees is identified the existing trustees agree what skills, experience and knowledge are needed, and write it down in the form of a short job description and person specification. The trustees then agree responsibilities and a process for recruitment; taking care to comply with any specific requirements set out in the governing document. The trustees consider the best methods of attracting a diverse range of candidates with the skills the charity needs. Short-listing and interviews take place against agreed criteria. Interviews are carried out by a small panel of trustees, and each candidate is asked similar questions to ensure a fair and objective approach. Notes are kept of each interview. Preferred candidates are identified and invited to join the trustees, subject to references, formal vetting and approval by the full trustee board. The trustees check that the candidates have not been disqualified from acting as trustees, and candidates are asked to confirm in writing that this is the case. Candidates are asked to consider and declare any existing or potential conflicts of interest. Trustees seek any appropriate checks from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
In the light of the checks and declarations, trustees go ahead and formalise the appointment of new trustees.

Trustees' Report
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The principle object of the charity is to enhance the development and relieve the poverty of young people between the ages of 0 and 25 years and their families in Nottingham.
Objectives, strategies and activities
Mentoring and one to one: Built on 15 years of experience, 2021 saw CYF launch its new model of mentoring and one to one support. Each year up to 16 young people aged between 14 and 25 are provided with a year long programme of tailored mentoring and one to one work, with each young person accessing between 4 and 12 hours of support each week. Work with each young person is specifically designed to build on their strengths, interests and passions and to overcome marginalisation and barriers to opportunities. We achieve this by working with young people to create new opportunities that are specifically designed to be inclusive and accessible. We adapt to young people’s needs rather than expecting them to adapt to traditional and mainstream approaches. By this we means we provide support at times that fit with young people’s needs rather than a 9-5 approach. We make no assumptions about their starting point - for example we don’t assume that they can read, we don’t assume they have internet access at home, we don’t assume that they know how to navigate the city and we don’t assume that they have the skills or confidence to always articulate their needs. Our workers understand the culture and community that young people are from - we don’t judge and we really listen, hear and respond to what they are telling us. We provide workers with the necessary structures, support and resources to be flexible, responsive and meet need. A young person wants to explore their gender identity through music? We find a vocal coach who specialises in voice and identity. A young person has a flair for film? We find them work experience with a BBC documentary maker. A young person has mental health issues and a mistrust of support services? We sit with them and meet with different therapists until the young person finds a qualified, experienced and skilled professional who they feel understands their needs and culture. We then fund the work with the therapist. A young person is struggling with their benefit claim? A worker goes with them to the benefit office for every appointment to ensure they receive their full entitlement - we work with them to complete paperwork, make phone calls and use real life experiences such as these to build confidence and life skills - even role playing phone calls to make sure the young person is comfortable and confident with what they want and need to say. Because the young people we work with sit on the very margins of society, they are often excluded from critical, life changing information. CYF works with them to address this and avoid crisis. The individualised nature of CYF’s mentoring and one to one work means that it is incredible varied and difficult to capture in its entirety. The above are just some examples of the work delivered. Community leaders: We know from experience that young people from our community can play a critical role in driving forward social change. Community leaders is the newest element of CYF’s work and builds on our mentoring, one to one, group and project work. The aim is to use the individualised approach applied to our other areas of work to build young people’s leadership skills and create a new generation of leaders with lived experience, insights and energy. We want to build a more diverse group of leaders across society. Each year CYF delivers a series of high-end, arts-based group projects through which young people work together to develop their technical, creative, social and life skills and use the arts to tackle the social issues that impact and are important to them. Through this work CYF enables young people to be part of the wider movement that uses creativity and the arts to bring about social change. We have a strong track record of working with young people and creative industry experts to create pieces of work that are high impact and in which young people feel a strong sense of ownership and being heard.
Public benefit
Reducing the negative impact of multiple deprivation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

1 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Nottingham Children, Young People and Their Families Project Ltd 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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 8
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2023
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 9
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2023
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
