STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT
Constitution
Addison Youth Club, a registered charity, was established in 1951 and registered with the Charity Commission through a Scheme on 4[th ] February 2008 and updated on 11[th ] December 2018.
During 2020 Addison Youth Club was governed by its corporate trustee, Addison Youth Club (Trustee) Limited until such time that application was made for voluntary strike-off of the company and confirmation of dissolution was received on 22 September 2020.
The charity is now governed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees who served during the year and as at the report date are:
-
Julian Beare
-
Patora Dyrma
-
Jane Earle
-
David Miller
-
Poppy Scott Plummer
-
James Waight
-
Keith Ward
Governance
Trustees are elected for an unrestricted term and are appointed by the Trustees. There were no changes to the Trustee Board during the period under review.
Addison Youth Club has no staff. The decision making and management of the charity is carried out by the Trustees and the day-to-day administration of the charity is carried out by London Youth staff.
Related Parties
The Federation of London Youth Clubs (London Youth) [charity registration 303324, company registration 258577] has one trustee in common with the Addison Youth Club.
All administration has been carried out by London Youth since February 2019, however Addison Youth Club operates as a distinct independent charity. Addison Youth Club is a member of London Youth. London Youth (as a custodian trustee) previously held the Title Deeds for the property at 45 Redan Street on Trust on behalf of Addison Youth Club, which was disposed of in 2019 and replaced by a permanent endowment fund through which the charity commenced grant-making activities.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES & FUTURE PLANS
The charitable objects of the Addison Youth Club are to promote the development of boys and girls resident in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and neighbouring areas in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential.
This was previously achieved through running a youth club on the site at 45 Redan Street, London W14 0AB from 1951 to 2017, when the charity stopped operating as a youth club due to a number of problems, including a lack of funding, changing needs of young people in the immediate area, shortage of volunteers, and increasing costs of running an aging building.
During 2018 the Trustees of the Addison Youth Club undertook a review and established that running a youth club in the building at 45 Redan Street was not the most effective way to achieve the charitable objects and concluded that the best use of resources would be to support young people by making funding available to other youth projects in the local area.
As a result, in January 2019 the Trustees resolved to support youth organisations and young people in the Hammersmith and Fulham area by setting up an Endowment Fund from the sale proceeds of the property at 45 Redan Street. The property was previously held as a permanent endowment, created in the Trust Deed dated 27[th ] May 1937 (as amended by Charity Commission Schemes in 1978 and 2008) and held on Trust by The Federation of London Youth Clubs for the sole use of Addison Youth Club and at the direction of the Addison Youth Club Trustees. The sale of the property realised net proceeds of £2,329,887 in late October 2019, from which the Endowment Fund of £2,300,000 was created.
Further, it was agreed by the Trustees that, following the sale of the property which would greatly reduce the risks and liabilities of the charity, that the Addison Youth Club Trustee Ltd company would be dissolved and Trustees of the charity recorded individually with the Charity Commission. Accordingly, at their meeting in January 2020, the Trustees approved the resolution to strike-off Company No. 08018129, Addison Youth Club (Trustee) Limited.
The application for strike-off was acknowledged by Companies House on 20 February 2020 and the first gazette notice of voluntary strike-off was issued on 18 February. However, in March 2020, Companies House introduced temporary easement measures to suspend voluntary strike off action in response to coronavirus (COVID-19). Companies House confirmation of dissolution was subsequently received on 22 September 2020 following the termination of the temporary easement measures.
The objective of the charity was to move to becoming a grant-making charity by 31 March 2021, through the use of the permanent endowment fund established through proceeds from the sale of 45 Redan Street and grant-making activities commenced in the financial year ending 31 March 2021.

- GRANT MAKING ACTIVITIES IN THE PERIOD TO 31 MARCH 2022
In moving the charity from an operational youth club to a grant-making charity, the Trustees set up a website www.addisonyouth.org in late 2020 which set out the eligibility criteria as follows:
-
➢ Grants would cover children and young people between the ages of 8 to 25 in the Hammersmith & Fulham area.
-
➢ Applications from members of London Youth and from members of Young Hammersmith and Fulham Foundation would be prioritised.
-
➢ The minimum grant size would be £5,000 up to a maximum of £25,000.
-
➢ All applicants to be a charity registered with the Charity Commission, OR a CIC, with a relevant asset lock status, where no more than one director is receiving remuneration from the company.
-
➢ The purpose for which funds were being sought should be consistent with the applicant organisation’s charitable objects.
-
➢ Applications would be considered for both restricted programmes or unrestricted funding to support general operational activity.
-
➢ The applicant organisation would be required to meet a reasonable level of due diligence requirements, relative to the size of the grant being sought.
Addison Youth has been supported by London Youth and the Young Hammersmith & Fulham Foundation in reaching out across youth networks in the borough and surrounding areas. As in prior year, a total of 18 grant applications were received by the end of December 2021 and were shortlisted through relevant due diligence criteria. This year, the Board convened a Youth Panel to support the shortlisting process in February 2022 and to give effect to ‘youth voice’ in its decision-making processes, which was facilitated by an external consultant with significant expertise in this area.
The Board made the decision to award 9 grants in total (2021: 8), of which only one was in respect of unrestricted/core activity; noting that since 2021, youth workers and community groups were now providing structured programmes for young people struggling with the ongoing impact of the pandemic in terms of wellbeing and mental health as well as cost of living challenges.
The total value of grants awarded was £100,973 (2021: £100,746) and formal Grant Agreements issued to each of the grantee organisations. The smallest grant awarded was £5,000 (2021: £7,000), with the largest grant being £20,869 (2021: £20,000). A total of £75,539 (2021: £58,266) was paid out in tranche one, with the remainder, £25,434 (2021: £42,480) to be awarded in September 2022, following the submission of mid-year project reviews. In setting out a monitoring and evaluation framework for the grantee organisations, the Trustees were mindful to take a proportionate approach, relevant to the size of the grant issued.

Addison Youth Club Trustees’ Report Year ended 31 March 2022
The response to the inaugural year of grant funding in 2021 was overwhelmingly positive and included the following feedback:
“Addison Youth’s contribution to our core costs has enabled us to deliver on all delivery and we expect to come in on budget at the end of a difficult period” (Action on Disability)
“We started offering free basketball coaching to 25 young people for 90 mins per week, this has helped raise the confidence of those young people and has helped them physical and mentally; 10 of these young people had been totally uninvolved in sporting activity previously” (St. Alban’s, Fulham).
“This funding allowed us to begin targeted work with a group from our junior programme who needed support to access our senior programme and not be overwhelmed by its more independent feel – for this group, this transition also coincides with the change between primary and secondary schools” (Masbro Youth Club)
Overall, Addison Youth supported the delivery of over 1,000 hours of activities to over 400 children and young people in the borough in 2022. Many of these programmes were cofunded but could not have taken place without the contribution from Addison Youth.
Of the £100,973 committed in grant funding in 2022, £90,973 (2021: £55,000) or approximately 90% was targeted towards restricted activities; this marked a move away from the level of ‘emergency’ provision during 2020-21, when approximately 55% of grant funding was targeted towards unrestricted activities.
The 2022 grant-round is supporting a diverse range of programmes such as support sessions for young women at risk of exploitation; anti-knife crime; education support and outdoor activities for young people; employability and skills; healthy eating; mentoring programmes as well as a pilot programme targeted at young school leavers.
The list of organisations who received funding commitments from the charity in the period to 31 March 2022 are as follows:

The aim of the charity is to continue to provide a level of much-needed support in the Hammersmith & Fulham community by developing strong links with local organisations who are delivering front-line services to young people in the area. The charity continues to develop its remit and expertise as a grant-making charity and help build capacity within the local community through the ongoing use of the permanent endowment.
In 2022, the charity convened a Youth Panel to support its grant decision-making process and bring the voice of young people to bear in its work.
The charity does not undertake any fundraising activity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The 2-year period to 31 March 2020 marked a transitional period at the charity, due to cessation of youth club activities and sale of the property at 45 Redan Street, London W14 0AB, which was concluded in late October 2019; realising net sale proceeds of £2,329,888. The sum of £2,300,000 was invested by the Trustees as a permanent endowment in early November 2019 from which to commence grant-making activities.
Early investment gains were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the investment recorded losses of just over 10% or £233,365 by 31 March 2020. However, the period since then has seen a reversal of this position with investment gains totalling £620,916, of which £210,237 relates to the year under review (2021: £410,679).
The Statement of Financial Position as at 31 March 2022 shows the Total Fund at £2,732,936 (2021: £2,558,563), of which the permanent endowment fund comprises £2,687,551 (2021: £2,477,314). The value of the General Fund, as at 31 March 2022, is £45,385 (2021: £81,249).
The Statement of Financial Activity shows Investment Income of £76,610 (2021: £75,007). Grant expenditure in year mirrored prior year at £100,973 (2021: £100,746). General Expenditure was £8,725; up from £7,433 in 2021, due to the costs of convening and facilitating the Youth Panel in 2022 at a cost of £2,600. Governance Costs in 2021-22 were £2,776 (2021: £2,870).
The Cash at Bank position, as at 31 March 2022 was £147,963 (2021: £129,121); the net Current Asset position (Cash at Bank net of Debtors/Creditors) as at 31 March was £45,385 (2021: £81,249).
INVESTMENTS
The sum of £2,300,000 was invested in early November 2019 with a total return approach in a Charities Ethical Investment Fund held by CCLA, one of the UK's largest charity fund managers who manage investments for charities, religious organisations and the public sector.
The value of the market fell considerably during the Covid-19 crisis, resulting in investment losses of £233,365 at the charity. However, although the period to 31 March 2021 saw a relative market turnaround resulting in investment gains of £410,679; the period since then has been more volatile with gains of £210,237 recorded for the period to 31 March 2022.
RESERVES POLICY
The transition from an operational youth club to a grant-making organisation with no overhead or employees considerably lowered the need to carry reserves. However, given the level of grant commitments now being made, the Trustees reviewed their Reserves Policy in early 2021 and are confident that their assumptions remain valid for 2022.
9
Addison Youth Club Trustees’ Report Year ended 31 March 2022
The fund held as listed investments within the permanent endowment fund ensures the charity has sufficient resources to carry on making grants as the Trustees think fit, with due regard to the level of investment income available to fund such grants.
Grant payments may be varied by the charity in accordance with income earned on investments. Trustees will take a view as to the value of grant funding they make available each year, particularly where income earned on investments is insufficient to cover actual losses incurred.
Total Expenditure in 2022 was £112,474 (2021: £111,049), comprising Grant Expenditure of £100,973 (2021: £100,746) and General/Governance Expenditure of £11,501 (2021: £10,303). The Trustees, having reviewed the Reserves Policy , which requires the charity to maintain a minimum balance of between three and not more than six months’ of grants and costs, are satisfied that adequate funds are available via the General Fund balance of £45,385 (2021: £81,249) as at 31 March 2022; representing almost 5 months’ of grants and costs expenditure.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees receive a regular flow of information about both the finances and operations of the Trust. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed through their risk management policy. These are:
- Investment risk – the Trust’s assets are comprised of investments, which are used to generate its income. An investment policy is in place to mitigate risks associated with management of these assets and the performance of the investments, which are professionally managed, is regularly reviewed by the Trustees.
In light of unprecedented events arising during the pandemic and post-pandemic period, the Trustees will continue to work with its investment managers to mitigate, where possible, any ongoing negative impact of this crisis on investment performance.
The Trust can also mitigate the risk of income variation by varying or ceasing its grant payment programme, which constitutes its principal expenditure, in order to conserve funds.
- Financial risk – the risk of financial mismanagement or fraud – the charity’s financial transactions will comprise of receipt of income from investment managers, and expenditure related to its grant-making activities; with some small expenditure incurred which will relate to bank charges and governance costs. Accountancy services are carried out on behalf of the charity by qualified staff employed by London Youth; these staff are employed under that organisation’s recruitment practices, which are understood to be thorough. The financial information for the Trust is held separately from that of London Youth.
10
Addison Youth Club Trustees’ Report Year ended 31 March 2022
-
Grant-making activities – the charity has put rigorous due diligence processes in place to ensure that funds are appropriately granted to relevant organisations in the Hammersmith and Fulham area to reach the targeted cohort of young people, in line with their respective charitable objectives. Processes have also been put in place – which include monitoring and evaluation frameworks - to provide stewardship and oversight of grants to ensure that they are being spent in line with agreed aims and objectives. The Trustees will monitor the potential for financial/reputational risk closely as a result of its grant-making activities.
-
Conflict of interest – the charity works closely with London Youth, which holds the permanent endowment in trust on its behalf. The potential conflict arising as a result of one of the Trustees of the Addison Youth Club also being the Deputy Chair of London Youth, has been mitigated by the appointment of an independent Trustee to the Addison Board and the retirement of the Chair of the Addison Board from his role as Chair of London Youth in April 2020. A conflict of interest policy is in place to manage any risk of conflict.
-
Child protection risk – this risk is mitigated by the fact that the charity no longer operates as a youth club working directly with children and young people and its future activities will be limited to grant-making activities. In relation to its grant-making activities, the charity has published a statement of its safeguarding expectations of grantee organisations and reviews the safeguarding arrangements in place by grantapplicants as part of its due diligence process for making a grant award.
GOING CONCERN
Although the charity reported a net Cash Flow from operating activities of £2,327,544 in 2019-20, net Cash Flow used in operating activities in 2021-22 was £57,641 (2021: £66,432), with Cash Flows from investing activities of £76,610 (2021: £75,007).
However, should the market volatility negatively impact on Investment Income, the Trustees may consider a delay to grant-making activities in 2022-23 and/or a restructure of the fund, if deemed necessary. Although the investment fund has not performed as well as it did in prior year, the value of the fund has increased to £2,687,551 (2021: £2,477,314).
Although the general fund ratio to average annual non-grant expenditure has decreased from its 2021 value of 8:1 to 4:1, it is deemed sufficient to cover operating costs for 202223.
11
Addison Youth Club Trustees’ Report Year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees have assessed the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. Informing this conclusion, a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements has been considered, with neither the pandemic, nor post-pandemic economic landscape has not had a significant immediate impact on the Trust’s operations.
The Trust holds a permanent endowment fund on which it receives investment income to fund grants. A key area of uncertainty relates to ongoing market volatility on the valuation of investments. Despite investment losses of £233,265 in 2020, successive gains of £410,679 in 2021 and £210,237 in 2022 have restored the fund to a figure in excess of its opening balance position of £2,300,000 at £2,687,551 (2021: £2,477,314). As there is flexibility in the level of discretionary grants approved, such variances can be accommodated within the reserves.
Therefore, the Trustees have concluded that the Trust has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Statement of Recommended Practice (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) (the Charities’ SORP FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Addison Youth Club Financial Statements Year ended 31[st ] March 2022
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE ACCOUNTS
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention adjusted for fair value of investments, in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011 and UK generally Accepted Practice.
The Addison Youth Club 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 Statement
The Trust holds a permanent endowment fund on which it received investment income to fund grants. A key area of uncertainty relates to the current market turmoil on the valuation of investments and returns.
Net Cash Flows from investing activities have returned to pre-pandemic levels at £76,610 (2021: £75,007), which are more than adequate to cover the level of non-grant expenditure of £11,501 (2021: £10,303). Investment losses of £233,265 in 2019-20 have been reversed and combined investment gains totalling £620,916, including £210,237 in 2022 (2021: £410,679) have been achieved.
Where the impact of the pandemic or other market disruption has potential to continue to undermine the value of the permanent endowment to the level of the initial contribution of £2,300,000, a pause in grant-making activities may be implemented by the Trustees.
The Trustees have assessed the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. Informing this conclusion, a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements has been considered. Neither the pandemic or post-pandemic economic environment has had a significant immediate impact on the Trust’s operations and the Trustees have concluded that the Trust has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have continued to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Income Policy
All income is credited to the statement of financial activities when there is entitlement, it can be measured and receipt is probable.
Investment income is credited to the statement of financial activities in the period in which the Trust is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Financial Instruments
The charity 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 amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise trade creditors and accruals.
Investments, including bonds held as part of an investment portfolio, are held at fair (market) value at the Balance Sheet date. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are credited, or debited, to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they arise.
At the balance sheet date, the charity held financial assets at fair value of £2,687,551 (2021: £2,477,314); assets at amortised cost of £148,152 (2021: £129,442) and financial liabilities at amortised cost of £102,893 (2021: £48,193).
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies which are described above, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumption about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
