## **Celebrating 25 years in the Community 1999-2024** 

## **HYP Chair’s Report April 2024 - March 2025** 

- **We have experienced a very challenging year. We were able to recruit a fund raiser, Kirsty Passmore to replace Stephen Potts, who built on the hard work of our Manager Jacqueline in the interim, to try to attract grant funding in an increasingly difficult financial landscape for small charities like ourselves. Despite having approximately £240K of potential bids in the pipeline, it became clear that HYP was no longer able to secure the larger awards from previously reliable providers eg the Big Lottery and Children in Need and so we were not going to meet our running costs.** 

- **Working closely with Manager, Jacqueline and Carla her deputy, the trustees considered different options to address the impending financial crisis. Initially we began a consultation with staff to move to 39-week contracts to provide a term time only offer. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that with more bids being unsuccessful, we were left with no option other than to make staff compulsorily redundant and close the project. As a result, in March 2025 we secured the services of an external HR consultant to ensure a fair and transparent process.** 

- **Understandably the staff were very shocked at this sudden change in circumstances. However, despite this I would commend their professionalism, led and modelled by Jacqueline and Carla, in the way they addressed the need to close. As a result, the final weeks and months of the Charity were well managed and with the selling of the assets, such as surf boards and other equipment, we were able to cease activities with a small budget surplus.** 

- **I would like to take this opportunity to thank our strong and committed team of Trustees with its wide of range of professional backgrounds and complementary skills, particularly in leading and managing the project during these exceptionally difficult last 12 months. None of us wanted to make the ultimate decision to cease the project after 26 years of providing successful services to young people in West Cornwall. Sadly, we were left with no other option. Although bittersweet, HYP was awarded “Organisation of the Year” in 2025 by Hayle Town Council and both David Raymer, a founding trustee along with three young people representatives, provided fitting tributes, speaking movingly about the project and what it had achieved.**

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
The Hayle Youth Project.
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31" March 2025, which are
set out on the attached pages.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the Charity's Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you
consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of The Charities Act 1993 (The
Charities Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of
procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
under section 43(7)(b) of The Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to
my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by
the Charity Commissioners. 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 explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in
an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the
accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(i)
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of The Charities
Act); and
to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply
with the account requirements of The Charities Act.
have not been met. or
(2)
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
