HALL GREEN YOUTH

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Hall Green Youth for the 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Overview

Hall Green Youth was formed in 2006 by the 3 Anglican Churches in Hall Green (St Michaels, St Peters, and the Ascension) to connect with and meet needs of young people. Throughout our existence, we have also received encouragement and financial support from Christchurch Hall Green (formerly Hall Green Baptist Church) and through Churches Together in Hall Green.

Our emphasis is on developing relationships with, and between, young people and others in their communities which cross barriers of age, faith, race and background. In particular, we help to build young people’s emotional wellbeing by providing space where they can talk honestly and openly about themselves and feel safe and heard.

In 2024, we supported over 45 young people who are vulnerable or have additional needs with their mental health and helped them to build constructive social networks through mentoring in schools and through the ‘Just Chill’ community youth group.

Activities in 2024

Work in Schools

Throughout 2024, we provided weekly 1-to-1 mentoring for 12 young people with emotional, social and mental health needs in Hall Green Secondary School. In October 2024, we also began providing weekly 1-to-1 mentoring in Christchurch CoE Academy, Yardley Wood.

We mentor young people for a term initially (roughly 12 weeks) and then review at the end if they still need the mentoring. This means that we can do more intentional mentoring with goal setting and targets and also connect with more young people. In the first two terms of the 2024/25 academic year we’ve mentored 18 to 20 young people in total at Hall Green Secondary and 15 to 18 at Christchurch.

We continue to use a feedback model, using outcome tools, which gives us feedback each week to help us understand how effective the mentoring is. Young people rate their responses to 3 questions every session: how they felt before, how they felt afterwards and how they rate the skills shared.

Young people tell us that they find it valuable to have someone to listen and the space to talk and express their feelings. Staff in school tell us they notice the positive impact of the support on the young people’s mood, attendance, and behaviour.

Just Chill

We have continued to run ‘Just Chill’ as a community youth group once a week in term time throughout 2024 and, with the aid of 2 dedicated volunteer leaders and 3 students in addition to 2 paid youth workers. We currently have 22 young people registered.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

This group continues to attract young people who have extra needs, including Autism, ADHD, Learning difficulties, Speech impediments, Motor issues, Dyspraxia and mental health struggles. These sessions enable these young people to build their confidence, social skills, and networks by interacting with their peers in a positive environment. Over time we have been able to develop deeper relationships with the members of the group and provide them with more targeted support through discussion and activities.

Feedback from the young people, local schools and community organisations indicates that ‘Just Chill’ is making a real difference to the confidence and self-esteem of the participating young people.

The murder of Leo Ross, a 12 year old boy who attended Christchurch CoE Academy, in January 2025 and a non-fatal stabbing outside Hall Green Secondary School in March 2025, have caused extra anxiety and uncertainty across the young people in all of our groups. In the light of recent events, we surveyed 33 young people that we work with to see how they feel about their community since the events, how it has affected them and any support that they feel that they need. A number of the young people that we surveyed said that they feel that the support that we provide is needed more than ever

Residential

A highlight of 2024 was a residential weekend for 15 young people at the Pioneer Centre. The young people had a great time and did several activities. Activities included: raft building, abseiling, zip wire, inflatable challenge and laser quest.

The young people are keen to go on another residential and in summer 2024, raised over £1600 towards the cost through a sponsored walk.

An annual residential is now an important part of what we do, giving vulnerable young people an opportunity to be away from their family, often for the first time, and to grow and challenge themselves. We are planning another residential in October 2025.

Case Study

A’s mother got in contact with us and brought A along to our Just Chill youth group for the first time in June 2023.

A struggles with anxiety, and his mom suspects that he has autism. When A first joined the youth group, he would often sit next to me and wouldn’t engage with other leaders or young people. Often just looking away during conversations or giving one-word answers.

A always carries 2 bottles containing squash, and he is a fussy eater. A has many issues at school with managing his day-to-day life. He has struggled with bullying and the nature of the environment of school. There have been times when A hasn’t attended youth club because school has worn him out.

Over time, A has grown in his confidence. He is a natural leader in the group and the other young people love him. A will gravitate towards new young people who join the group as a way of being supportive.

Recently A completed his work experience with us at HGY. He came with us into schools and joined in the mentoring program. A also led the youth group by planning games and activities. A also struggles with social anxiety. During lunch break we went to Subway for the first time. He was able to make the order himself, which is something that he wouldn’t normally do.

A joined us on his first residential and first time away from home and his family (he had previously never attended any due to his anxiety). A absolutely loved it and will be attending the next one in 2025.

A went from being a boy who struggled to engage with others, to someone who will lead sessions, overcome new challenges and is willing to talk to new people. He is a great example of what can happen when you

HALL GREEN YOUTH

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

belong to a community who values you and cares for you. HGY is his safe place where he can be himself.

A’s mother says: “A really looks forward to coming to the youth group and his social skills have improved since coming to the group. As a parent, the support from Luke (youth worker) has been beneficial so that I can help A with his ups and downs.”

Our People

Luke Boulton and Katrina Matthews-Boulton have continued to build positive relationships with young people and deliver activities to help develop their confidence and self-esteem and we would like to record our thanks to them for their skills and commitment. Katrina commenced a third spell of maternity leave in January 2025. Jyoti Minhas and Ebonee Clark continue to provide paid cover while she is on maternity leave.

We have two volunteer leaders who make an invaluable contribution to the ‘Just Chill’ youth club and we also provided placements for 3 youth work students during 2024.

Financial Review

In 2024, Hall Green Youth had a total income of £32,870, including income of £2,110 carried forward from the previous year. Most of this income consisted of grants from charitable trusts / foundations including the Roger & Douglas Turner Trust, the Eveson Trust, Grantham Yorke, the Dulverton Trust and the Baron Davenport Charitable Trust.

In addition, funding support from our Church sponsors totalled £5,300 and Hall Green School contributed £1500 towards the cost of the mentoring.

Total resources expended in 2024 was £44,930 compared with £42,049 in 2023. The increase was largely because of increased staff costs. Trustees took decisions to increase the youth worker salaries by 3% in both April and October 2023 in recognition of cost-of-living pressures.

In total, expenditure exceeded income by £12,060 which had the effect of reducing the total funds available to us at 31.10.24 to £22,762.

At 31.10.24, our reserves were equivalent to 4 months expenditure, in line with the 3 - 6 months minimum requirement in our reserves policy.

Fundraising has become more difficult in recent years as competition for grants has increased and we have to work harder and be more creative in order to secure funding. We plan to continue with a funding strategy of seeking small grants from a variety of funders as the diversity of our funding base helps us to remain financially viable, but we will keep the funders we apply to under review as we make decisions about future activities.

The Future

In 2025, we want to support at least 50 young people. Most of the young people that we support are vulnerable, have additional needs or struggle with their mental health; our support is vital to their emotional wellbeing.

One new venture, starting in April 2025, is a Pokémon group meeting once a month on a Saturday morning. We hope that this will be a good way to connect with the community more and increase our footfall working with young people. It should also help us meet new young people to invite into Just Chill.

We will also be appointing a new chair as Reverend Canon Martin Stephenson retires in summer 2025. We would like to take the opportunity to express our gratitude to Martin for his service to Hall Green Youth over the last few years. Fellow trustees and our youth workers will greatly miss his enthusiasm, connections, support and wise counsel.

HALL GREEN YOUTH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

1. General information

Hall Green Youth is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association. The registered address is 29 Radbourne Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands B90 3RT.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Hall Green Youth 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.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 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.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

Page 11

HALL GREEN YOUTH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

2.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.8 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial 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.

2.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes.
