Fundraising statemont
Onside generates ¢apital donations for new YoLrth Zone projects: revenue pledges for new Youth Zones which
fund their first three to four years of operation; support for Nelwork-wide delivery proje¢ls in operating Youth
Zones.. and income for Onside's ¢ore activities. Capital projects, Nelwork-wide projects, and Onside core
operation is prlmarily made possiblè thanks lo major donations from private philanthropic individuals, corporates
and corporate foundations, and national charitable trusts and foundations. Revenue donations for new Youth
Zone projects are typically received from philanthropic individuals and corporates local to each project.,
fundraisers are seeking Founder Patrons.. whereby local donors commit gifts of £25,000 or moT8 per yoar foi
three or four years and are usually speufically directed to a named future Youth Zone.
Charitable trust and grant income and corporate incorne is applied for, usually via bld submission, by members
of the Granls Partnership Team. Private individual support is sought through the actions of the Philanthropy
team; fundraisers work alongside individuals who express an interest in our work. Occasionally. when an
opportunity arises, we will host a large-scale private event that generates Income. The public are not asked lo
participat8 in our fundraising, on rare occasions they makè unsolicited gifts having heard about our work.
Our campaigns are successful. In the financial year the capital and revenue campaigns delivered income in line
with the needs of the projects.
The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Re9ulalor and works in a compliant way with the Code of Practice
and does not employ third party or commercial participators to undertake our lundraising. The Charity does nol
operate mass fundraising campaigns, cold callin9 or street-based collections. We have received zero complaints
about our fundraising work.
Inv••tmont pow•r8 and pollcy
Under the Memorandum and Artlcles of Associalion. the charitable company has the power to make any
investment which the Trustees see fit. Investments are made where required lo further Ihe aims and objecls of
the Charty. The Charty does nol currently hold any investmenls olher than cash on deposrt with Handelsbanken
plc.
Reserves pollcy
The board of Trustees of Onside Youth Zones has established a resepies policy whlch approprialèly retlects the
risks lo which the Charity is exposed. In compliance with such policy, it will review regularfy both the sum it
wishes to hold in unreslricled reserves and the basis for that figure. The ieser4es policy considers ongoing fixed
eosls, excludes variable costs and does not ￿nsider expenditure which 1$ linked to restricted projects and
therefore covered by restricled funds.
To achieve clear separation betrween Onside and new Youlh Zone projects. as a projecl goes 'live' Orbside
operates a model that results in funds received and expenditure incurred for Ihe development and consliuction
of new Youth Zones being held and defrayed by a separat8 charity specific to each Youth Zone project.
Due to the continuing uncertainty of the economic climate, rising costs and an increase in demand for our
services, the Trustees have agreed that the Charity will continue lo amend the current reserves policy lof 3
months) and carry a higher level of unrestricted reserves throughout the next financial period. Unfeslricted
reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to £2,446,798 equivalenl to approximately 8 rnonlhs cover. The Twstees
have considered a period over the next 24 months based on the number of projects expected to be delivered
during that period. During that extended period. they expect the level of reseNes to fall baGk to a level cjoser to
-the minimum level of reserves determined by the current policy.
The Truslees agree that the purpose of the unrestricted reserves is to support all day-ttrday adivities necessary

Re8pon•lbllltles of tru•tees
As explained More lully in the Trust88s' responsibilities Statement, the Trustee5 (who are also the directors of the
charrtable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements and for being sats'sfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as Ihe
Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financlal statements, the Trust8es are fesponslblé lor assessing the charltable company's abilty
to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable. matters relat8d to going concern and using the going
concern basis ol accounting unles5 the Truslees erther intsnd to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so
Audltofs responsibilitles forthe audit olthe financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from matenal misstatement. whelher due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordancè with ISAS (UK) will akniays delect a material misstatement when it 8xisls. Misstatemènts can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the econorrmc decisions of users tak8n on the basis of these financial ststements.
Irre9ularrf<ies. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material mi55talements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..

ONSIDE YOUTH ZONES
(Acompany Ilmited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF ONSIDE YOUTH ZONES (CONTINUED)
We obtained an understanding of the18gal and regulatory trameworks wlthln which the company operates,
focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination ol material amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the
Companies Act 2006. Charities Act 2011 and employmenttax legislation.
We identified areas of laws and regulalions that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the
financial statements fiom our sector experience, through discussion with the Directors, and from inspeth'on of
the Company's board minutes and legal and regulatory correspondence. We discussed the policies and
procedures regarding compliance wrth laws and regulations with the Chief Executive Officer.,
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might
occur, by meeting with management from relevant parts of the business to understand where management
Considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We also considered the potential for management to manage
earnings and influence the perceptions of the linancial statements.
We identified the greatest risk of material impad on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud,
to be the override ol controls by management and complèteness of income through the timing of recognition of
income.
Audit procedures performed by the engagementteam included..
Evaluation of the design of controls establishéd to address the risks rélated to material irregularrties in the
financial statements., testing manual journal entrles, in particular Journal entries relating to management
estimates and entries dètèrmined to be large or relating to non-routin8 transactions.
Evaluation of income recognrtion policies and any judgements mad& around income recogniti'on,. reviewing
the income system for significant deficiencies or susceptibility to fraud..
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates,.
Agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentstion..
Making enquiries ol management..
Review of minutes of board meetings throughoLrt the period,,
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material mlsstatement in the financial statements,
recognising that the risk ol not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate eoncealment by. for example, forgery,
misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limrtations in the audrt procedures performed and the
further removed non<ompliance with laws and regulations is trom the events and transactions reflected in the
financial statémenls, the 18ss likely we are to become aware of rt.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements in the financial statements. even though we have properly planned and performed our
audrt in accordance with audrting standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot
be expected to detect non-compliance wrth all laws and regulations. These inherant limitations are particulrly
significant in the case of misstatement reSu￿lfi9 from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed
to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision ol intentional
misrèpresentations.

Reporting Council's webstte at. w
