## **Introduction** 

**Chair** 's **Report** The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

Throughout the busy and demanding year, the Trustees of the Bostey and St Anthony's Community Association, have been kept informed of the work of the Bostey. This is though reports at meetings, numerous social media posts and the direct experience of 'being there'. 

The pictures, in particular, capture the vast range of work and activities being undertaken on site. Certainly, our new building is being well used and well cared for. But the team's boundaries don't stop at the gate! They are often to be seen in the area, for example Walker Park and on the streets for the annual Christmas parade. Without a doubt the influence of the team is carried into many, many homes. Individuals flourish and so the community flourishes. The team of youth workers and volunteers do not just provide the programmes, they stand as examples of how good adults behave, be that managing conflict, treating people well, listening and managing emotions, planning and organising I could go on. Being surrounded by good role models is a significant feature of what the Bostey is about. Thus, the Bostey makes Walker and further a better place. 

As always, the work continues to develop and change according to need. 

This important work does require funding, and we are grateful to everyone who contributes, no matter how big or small, for their support. This endorsement also gives us security and confidence and that means a lot to us. I would also like to thank the staff and volunteers for what you do ~~w~~ e are very proud to be associated with you. And finally, I would like to thank the Trustees for their wisdom and support.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Nature of governing document** 

St Anthony's Youth Education and Support was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 14th July 2009. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 28 May 2009 and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. On the 9th of May 2017 after reviewing our objects and Articles of Association, the Trustees by way of special resolution adopted updated memorandum and Articles of Association. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

New trustees are recruited when their specific skills and values are identified as being beneficial to the charity. Trustees are actively sought for their experience in Finance and Administration, Personnel, Quality Assurance, Research and Development, Children and Young People services and Business Management. The election of trustees is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association and are initially interviewed by two serving trustees before being proposed at the AGM where their appointment is officially sanctioned. 

## **Induction and training of trustees** 

All new Trustees are formally welcomed to the organisation by the Chair of Trustees and the Chief Executive. We support our new Trustees, providing an introduction to the work of St Anthony's Youth Education and Support, which includes a guided tour of our service and meetings with staff, volunteers and service users. All current trustees are informed of the election of trustees in advance of the AGM and whether they themselves are required to stand down and be re-elected. We have a formal Trustee Induction programme containing the "Overview of the Organisation, its history, values, structure, policies and procedures, annual plan and services provided. "Introduction to Finance including Trustees responsibilities" Introduction to Governance and Roles of Trustees, which includes attending meetings, the obligation of Trustees including their responsibility to ensure the charity operates within the main legal document which sets out the operational framework for the charity, namely the Memorandum and Articles and required Trustees checks. The Charity Commission publication "The Essential Trustee" is given as a point of reference to all new trustees along with the Memorandum of Articles and the latest financial statements. They are also directed to the Charity Commission website for further information and guidance. Feedback from new trustees about their induction is used to improve future practice.

## **Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration** 

The Board gives their time freely and no trustees receive remuneration in the year. 

The Board have considered who the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the charity are, as noted in the reference and administration section. Together with the Board, these KMP are those in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the activities of the charity on a day-today basis. The pay of the KMP is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The trustees’ benchmark against pay levels of other charities and similar organisations within the sector and the region. Pay levels are set using this information together with budget and forecast information, ensuring that the charity can afford any proposed increases. The Board then agree any uplift to remuneration. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Board of Trustees have overall responsibility for the management of the charitable company with the day-to-day management and leadership delegated to the Youth Service Manager. The Youth Service Manager is assisted by 1 senior youth worker and 3 youth workers, and 1 youth work apprentice, as well as several committed volunteers. The Youth Service Manager receives regular supervision and annual appraisal from the CEO of St Anthony of Padua Community Association and is a part of the Senior Management team which assist's the CEO in the day-to-day management and leadership of the organisation. St Anthony's Youth Education and Support also continues to receive financial support through an annual grant and infrastructure support including HR and administration from St Anthony of Padua Community Association. 

## **Wider Network** 

The organisation has five trustees who are from a wide range of professional backgrounds who are responsible for the financial direction of the charity. T P O'Grady and D Robinson are trustees of St Anthony's Youth Education and Support (SAYES) and of St Anthony of Padua Community Association, (STAPCA), charity number 517745 and company number 02025848 (England and

## **Trustees report** 

Trustees’ Statement 

The Trustees of the Bostey are proud to share this year’s annual report, celebrating another year of making a real difference in the lives of young people and families in Walker. The Bostey continues to be a place where young people feel safe, supported, and valued, a space where they can build confidence, develop new skills, and feel part of something positive, as well as having the chance to engage in city-wide events and all the amazing opportunities our city has to offer. 

This year, the strength of the community has shone through once again, with local people, volunteers, and partners offering support and working with us to give young people the opportunities and support they might need to achieve better outcomes. 

Our dedicated staff team and volunteers have worked tirelessly to sustain and strengthen services, ensuring The Bostey remains a vital part of the Walker community. The Trustees remain committed to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the organisation, upholding our values, and continuing to respond to the changing needs of the young people and families we serve.

## **Risk management** 

The Governance arrangements ensure effective oversight of risk management across the organisation. There is an agreed action plan with set objectives and key outcomes to be achieved each year as well as a five-year plan to ensure the sustainability of the organisation. 

The Senior Management Team meet regularly throughout the year and on a quarterly basis conduct Health and Safety Reviews. A robust monitoring process is in place and operational and financial reports are provided to the Trustees at each Trustee meeting. 

The Chief Executive of St Anthony of Padua Community Association ensures regular risk audits through a variety of internal and external inspections and operational management is monitored 

**9** 



through regular supervision meetings with senior managers. We regularly review our staffing structure to ensure operational effectiveness and safe working practices. 

The Youth Service Manager keeps policies and procedures under review and seeks approval when required from Trustees for any proposed changes. 

## **Objects and Aims** 

For over 50 years youth services have been delivered from the John Boste Youth Centre until it was demolished in October 2018. We continued to operate from an interim space in St Anthony of Padua community centre until October 2019 when the service moved into their new youth building adjacent to the community centre. 

The Bostey, as it is known locally, has always been a place where young people can go, be welcomed, engage in activities, and be helped to grow in every way. We have an annual delivery plan to support our work, focusing on continual improvement, alongside a commitment to continuing professional development and supporting the team and volunteers to reach their full potential to ensure high-quality, person-centred services that allow every individual needs to have an individual response for their individual growth and development. 

**10** 



## **Fundraising Disclosures** 

The Bostey is extremely fortunate to have experienced another successful year of fundraising. Support from charitable trusts, individual donors, local businesses, our community, and the volunteers who give hundreds of hours of their time continues to inspire and motivate both staff and trustees. Without this generosity, The Bostey could not sustain the level of services provided, nor continue to grow and adapt to meet the needs of the community and the ever-changing world facing young people. 

Core funding within the youth sector is rare, especially multi-year support and for a small neighbourhood charity like The Bostey, it can often feel out of reach. We are therefore incredibly grateful that we have received core funding from several grant-givers, as well as from St Anthony of Padua Community Association for the last 20 years plus. All this commitment enables us to remain confident that we can plan for the future and continue to deliver meaningful impact for the young people and families in our community. Without these supporters, The Bostey would not be able to survive, and the work we do would not be possible. 

## **Core Funders** 

- The Ballinger Trust 

- LGA Foundation 

- Sir James Knott Trust 

- St Anthony of Padua Community Association 

## **Project Funders** 

Project funding plays a vital role in enabling youth workers and young people to bring their creative ideas to life. These grants help deliver meaningful projects, provide new learning opportunities, and support young people to explore their potential. Thank you to the following funders for supporting projects throughout the year. 

- StreetGames UK 

**11** 



- Newcastle City Council 

- NE Youth 

- Community Foundation Tyne & Wear 

- National Citizenship Service 

- Scofield charitable trust 

- High Sheriff Award 

- NCS 

As a registered charity, The Bostey is committed to being transparent and responsible in all aspects of fundraising from the public. The organisation does not use professional fundraisers or commercial partners to raise funds. All donations received directly from the public are managed in full accordance with Charity Commission guidance and UK legislation. The privacy and contact preferences of every donor are always respected. 

A heartfelt thank you to all funders and supporters, your generosity makes a real and lasting difference to the young people we work with. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Policy on reserves** 

Free reserves are those unrestricted reserves excluding those invested in fixed assets and any longterm commitments. 

It is the policy of the charity to build free reserves to a level which equates to around 12 months T running costs and be able to respond to emergency situations that may arise from time to time. At the current time, this equates to free reserves of around £180k to £210k. 

**12** 



At the year end, the charity had free reserves of £138,104 (i.e. those unrestricted reserves represented by net current assets), slightly down from the 2024 free reserves position of £172,072. The trustees recognise that this falls slightly short of the free reserves target and note that the charity needs to further build its reserves by trying to achieve a surplus in the future, whilst continuing to deliver the services required by its beneficiaries. 

## **Future Plan** 

The Bostey achieved many of the aims set out in on this progress. The focus for 2025-2026 includes: 

- **Expanding youth engagement:** Continue to provide good quality youth provision and community events, ensuring more young people benefit from safe, supportive spaces and have access to free, innovated activities and opportunities. Explore opportunities to offer weekend provision on Saturdays and Sundays, enabling us to move towards a seven-day service. 

- **Strengthening partnerships:** Broaden our reach to develop more collaborative projects and continue to partner with local schools, community organisations, and city-wide networks to enhance opportunities for young people. 

- **Volunteer development:** Build on our current volunteer opportunities and continue to offer in-house training, external training and support to young people and members of the community who would like to volunteer. We will explore the development of a trainee programme to enhance our volunteer offer. 

- **Sustainability and funding:** Continue to explore different income streams and look to secure long-term funding to ensure stability and growth. 

- **Facility improvements:** Review and develop our outdoor space to ensure the continuation of outdoor learning, taking into consideration environmental factors. 

- **Youth voice and leadership:** Empower more young people to take active roles in shaping new projects at the Bostey and support young people to explore wider opportunities to have their voice heard. 

**13** 



The Trustees remain committed to ensuring that The Bostey continues to thrive and be present in the heart of the Walker community. Supporting young people to reach their potential, have brighter futures, and contribute positively to their community. 

## **Going Concern** 

The Bostey has continued to be successful in terms of receiving grants, and as well as maintaining current provision we have also been able to develop new projects throughout the year.  Applying for grant funding will continue to be a part of our planning and we understand that this is a competitive field but are confidence our work from previous years and the relationships we have built up with funders over the last 20 plus years will play a part in supporting us to secure future funding. 

The trustees have prepared a budget and cashflow forecast, including consideration of the financial impact if there was a loss of income through grant funding and have concluded that the charity continues to be a going concern for the foreseeable future. On that basis they have continued to adopt concern basis when preparing the financial statement. 

The trustees (who are also the directors of St Anthony's Youth Education and Support for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

**14** 



- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern

received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement

conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is
probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

The charity allocates costs direct to activities as far as possible, then identifies the remaining costs of its
support functions. It then identifies those costs which relate to the governance function. Having identified its
governance costs, the remaining support costs together with the governance costs are
apportioned between the key charitable activities undertaken in the year. The basis for apportionment and the
analysis of support and governance costs is set out as follows:
Direct to support: Communications and IT
Direct to governance: Independent examiner fees
Staff costs are split based on a percentage of the CEO and parish secretary time spent on governance.
