YOUTHFAMILIESAND MATTER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31°t DECEMBER 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. They are also prepared to meet the requirements for a director’s report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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).

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT

Youth and Families Matter exists to: Meet the needs of children, young people and families in the Totton area of Hampshire, and elsewhere through, including, but not limited to the following -

• e The provision of training

• e The advancement of education

e The provision of support and activities Which develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.

The Trustees have established that the aims and purposes of Youth and Families Matter will primarily be achieved by providing the following -

• e Parenting support

• e Schools work

• e Detached youth work

• e Family work, including befriending

• e Community development work e Practical help through the provision of food parcels

In planning activities for the period, the Trustees have considered the Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit and the needs of the local community. The Governors have revisited our objectives and future planned activities with due regard to the September 2013 Charity Commission guidance (PB1, PB2, PB3) in accordance with their responsibilities under the Charities Act 2011. The Public Benefit narrative within this report is also set out taking account of PB3.

Throughout the period our activities and achievements were as follows -

Family & Community Work

• e Coffee morning — a weekly support group for adults, including sessions on specific topics (Craft, Managing your money, parenting tips).

• e ADHD/Autism support group — a monthly support group for parents of children with ADHD and Autism. As well as support from our Community Worker and volunteers, we have invited in specialist speakers to give advice on specific topics affecting these families.

• e One to one support — targeted support to assist vulnerable families or families in crisis.

• e Basics Bank (food bank) — Emergency food parcels for families in need. Basics Bank supported 2491 adults and children during 2023. We saw an increase in the number of families with children accessing the support of basics bank. The local community continued to support this project, as well as many organisations and supermarkets, both with food and finances, although we did notice a decrease in the amount of donations, in part due to the cost-of-living increases affecting everyone. We had to spend more money on topping up groceries and were thankfully successful in obtaining a couple of specific grants towards this work.

• e Fuel Bank — 167 applications were made to the Fuel Bank Foundation, an increase of 33% from 2022. With the rising cost of fuel during 2023 we were expecting to see the rise.

• e Fareshare Larder—run by the Fareshare Charity and using the church site, with support from YFM, to provide groceries, for a small charge, to those in need. Approximately 95 families were represented over the year, with between 30-40 attending each week. Alongside the Fareshare larder, we supported clients with benefits advice, housing information, medical appointments etc. This was done through our YFM staff, but

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31°t DECEMBER 2023

• also through Citizens Advice, NFDC Housing and benefits team. We also welcomed other local agencies to provide advice and support on ways to save money.

• e TIDES — support group for women suffering from depression and anxiety.

• e STREAMS ~—a second group for women suffering from depression and anxiety. e Managing your child’s angry feelings — two of these courses were run during 2023, supporting 18 people. This group looks at how to help your child with their anger, focusing on triggers, how to lengthen the fuse and calming strategies.

• e Supporting Parents of Teenagers (SPOT) — one of these courses was run during 2023, supporting 7 parents. This group looks at topics such as communication, rules and boundaries, behaviour and conflict, parenting styles

• e Belong —a group for vulnerable adults to have company and improve community integration. e Community Lunch — a group for individuals who may feel isolated and don’t often get the chance to eat together. This is held at The Chapel.

• e Post-Adoption Group — The group supports families who have adopted children and gives them the opportunity to meet with others in a similar situation. This group meets at The Chapel.

• e Warm Space — due to the cost-of-living crisis, we hosted a warm space on a Wednesday morning, alongside the Community Hub.

• e Family trips — we hosted a community picnic for our families e Christmas film and grotto — we hosted a family film and Santa’s grotto for the families we work with at no cost to them.

On top of basics bank and the larder, we supported over 300 individuals through 1:1 and group work. We delivered over 250 group sessions over 2023. Our partnership with schools developed to provide them with family support, as well as support for the children in school.

Schools & Youth Work

• e One to one mentoring with eight primary and two secondary schools — working with 151 children and young people who have emotional needs, or who are at risk of exclusion.

• e Out of School Mentoring — working with seven young people out of school, to provide support and guidance.

• e Activity Day — we hosted a movie and pizza night for the young people.

• e We held two nurture days, specifically aimed at the more vulnerable children we work with. This was a small group, to enable them to feel comfortable and for the leaders to spend quality time with them. We were able to support 15 children through this, most of whom we also support through school.

• e Alongside the Community hub, we provided eight play sessions for the children to attend during the school holidays.

• e We continued to provide a lunchtime drop-in at Testwood School, with the aim of covering specific topics during each term. These included wellbeing, exam anxiety, digital safety and personal identity, amongst other things.

• e We continued with our partnership project with Testwood Baptist Church, to provide a space for Carers to come with their babies, a group for children, and a youth group. YFM supported this initiative with family workers, children, and youth workers. We have been very encouraged to see so many of the children and young people we support continue to come along to build on friendships, learn new skills and enjoy time out. We were specifically able to help the children with additional needs to access this provision.

Our partnership with local schools developed over this year, and we started to provide more than one session of support in three of the local schools. In total we worked with over 350 children and young people.

Fundraising Activities

Regular newsletters or short videos update all stakeholders of the outcomes achieved using their funds. Personal repeat donations continued throughout the year.

Community Involvement

YFM hosted the children’s tent at the Totton Family Fun Day, which was held at Testwood School in June 2023, and was very well attended.

We attended the Local Children’s Partnership meetings. We continued to support the Early Help Hub meetings, run by Children’s Services.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income of £2,213 (2022 — deficit of £12,743) for the year and reserves are in surplus by £235,925, of which £96,363 are in restricted funds.

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires:

• e Reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that our core activities could continue during a 6 to 12 month period of unforeseen difficulty. The trustees recognise that additional free reserves are desirable, to successfully manage our skill base and secure continuity of case work. They are working to maintain financial resilience to ensure much needed stability for our vulnerable client base in an increasingly challenging environment. At 31t December 2023, free reserves amounted to £41,456 which are in line with the policy.

• e A proportion of reserves be maintained in a readily realisable form. The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning, budget and forecast cycle. It takes into account the:

• e Risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted

• e Planned activity level

• e Organisation's commitments

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUTH AND FAMILIES MATTER

| report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 315t December 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

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:

• ° examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;

• ° to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and

• ° to state 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting-records kept by the charity and a comparison ofthe[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 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 statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:

• ° accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; ° the accounts do not accord with such records: e where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396

• e of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)

• ° any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
