STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The company was incorporated on 6th September 2007 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It constitutes a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The directors of the company are the trustees of the charity. Day to day responsibility for the running of the Trust is carried out by the Trustees, who met 7 times during the year.

Chislehurst YFC Limited Report of the Trustees - continued for the Year Ended 28th February 2023

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Articles of Association for a period of three years and retire by rotation. Those selected have a breadth of experience of our work and reflect the make-up of our supporting churches.

Induction and training of new trustees

New trustees are instructed in the ethos of working in a Trust. We also take advantage, as necessary, of training opportunities for trustees offered by YFC.

Risk Management

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, young people and visitors to the shop and the youth centre. This policy and its implementation are under annual review. Working with Youth for Christ nationally we have a safeguarding policy covering our work in schools and at our youth centre . This is based on the Thirtyone:eight guidance and caters for our various volunteer and staff levels of responsibility and includes a lone working policy to ensure everyone can conduct their work in a safe context. The Trustee responsible for safeguarding is Derek Holl, who has been appointed to advise the CEO and to receive any concerns that may arise amongst staff and volunteers.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The object of the charity, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, is to give every 11 to 18 year old living in Chislehurst the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel, and to develop Christian youth work in the area. It is a local ministry in partnership with Youth for Christ (UK). The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that both the aims of CYFC and what it delivers meets the public benefit test.

Firstly, we believe that knowledge of the Christian faith is of immense value to young people in declaring to them that they are loved by God and valued for themselves, whatever their circumstances; secondly our contacts with young people teach social justice and demonstrate the advantage to the community of social awareness and interdependence. We are not aware of any detriment or harm that may arise from our aims or activities. Apart from limiting our work to the Chislehurst area for practical reasons of size and limited resources, there are no restrictions on any young person accessing our activities by their ability to pay or for any other reason. There is no charge to take part in our primary activities. Where a charge has to be made for trips outside the area the cost is never more than the direct expenses incurred and is often heavily subsidised below cost. No young person has ever been prevented from taking part in our activities because of poverty.

Significant activities

Money is raised through the sale of donated goods in a charity shop and through donations and fundraising. The charity shop has paid managers and over 30 dedicated volunteers. Financial donations are received from organisations and individuals. The money raised is used to pay for a Youth Work team whose job is to form relationships with young people through youth clubs (those we run ourselves and those we support), local schools and holiday activities.

The last 12 months has seen the charity recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and re-establish relationships with schools, running faith clubs and mentoring young people.

Report of the Trustees - continued For the Year Ended 28th February 2023

Significant activities cont.

We have also begun to develop new initiatives, including working with the Met police to develop a 'youth violence and knife crime' awareness course, which we are currently piloting. More broadly we have continued to develop our relationships with churches, both in Chislehurst and more widely across the borough. We have established a network for youth workers in Bromley and have hosted several events. Over the year we have strengthened our staff team, which has included appointing on a permanent basis our interim CEO. Our charity shop, 2gether, has made an excellent recovery from the pandemic and due to the hard work of our superb volunteer and shop management team our sales are almost back to pre - Covid levels.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Trustees have examined the charity's requirement for cash reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the funds not committed to future expenditure should be 3 months of the budgeted charitable expenditure for the year. This is necessary to meet the working requirements of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanantions from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
