## ABOUT CITY YEAR UK 

## Our vision 

City Year UK's vision is of a society where the transformative power of full-time social action in schools is an integral part of - growing up in the UK; supporting every child and young person to achieve their full potential. ; 

## Our mission 

- To give every pupil the chance to succeed, by partnering with schools to coach those furthest from opportunity to achieve the social, emotional and academic results they need to progress at every stage of their education; and 

- — To tap into the talent, energy and idealism of diverse young adults to drive social change in education and develop the standout experience, leadership skills and networks to launch any career. 

## Our Approach 

We enable diverse young adults to volunteer full-time, for a year, in schools with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals. They are trained and supported to inspire, mentor and tutor children of all ages to overcome social, emotional and academic barriers to learning and, by realising pupils’ potential, realise their own. 

; 

Often volunteering in their own communities, our young adults gain real world experience and over 170 hours of dedicated leadership and development training. They leave with the skills and networks that set them up for life.

CHAIR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S INTRODUCTION In its 2023 manifesto, the Fair Education Alliance stated: “Our current “ul system isn't giving young people from all backgrounds the skills employers need and it's not giving them a positive experience of As | reflect on this schoolresponse.either."By harnessingYouth socialthe talentaction andoffersenergya of diverseblueprintid youngfor a holisticadults experience,. | am reminded: as mentors, Coaches and tutors, City Year UK empowers them to of the tremendous impact. tackleservingeducationalas a launchinequalitypadira for theirandiciclesbringcareers.enjoymentIt's a win-winatinto learning,ni **e** c that whilebuildschia that one person can have - extra capacity into our stretched schools and gives 18 to 25-year-olds on another's life... it is the real-world experience, underpinnedCen byciestraining and networking.Za immeasurable. growth that . In this report, we will look at the difference City Year makes to pupils occurs when someone feels furthest from opportunityplaice and to young eld adults about to start work. ” lich We'll share our progress codifying ‘student success coaching’iat as an seen, heard and valued. integrated: in-school domcevanesprogramme and how deliveringnbathat coachinidl —Mariyah,: City Year mentor, 2021-2022 provides a skills boost, with implications for improved social mobility, y ; : . ; ; mde . and school service leader, 2022-2023 earnings and job and life satisfaction. Last but not least, we will show ‘ how our donors, supporters and partners amplify our impact and without whom our programme would not be possible. 

___ 

Having pioneered youth citizen service in the UK since 2010, our two year pilot with UK Year of Service, offering paid work that pays back, is a perfect example. In the words of its Executive Director, Clara Goldsmith, it demonstrated “the effectiveness of the scheme through a deep understanding of what it means to empower young people to find jobs with purpose.” Thanks to the partnership we've been able to employ 31 school service leaders in pivotal roles; creating life changing opportunities vital in the context of the cost of living crisis. 

With many young adults worried about the affordability of giving a year, volunteer recruitment has been challenging. In response, we've continued to focus on enabling participation and ensuring that the capabilities mentors gain open up new possibilities and transform prospects. This year, we've enhanced both our careers pathway and wellbeing programmes, as well as trialled wrap-around support to mentors previously not in education, employment or training (NEET). We were truly * honoured to be oneofjust 20 recipients of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Volunteering Award for our work. Aged 5 or 25, youth social action builds positive relationships, encourages a growth mindset, gives a sense of belonging, reveals strengths and breaks down barriers to opportunity. Mariyah reflects on “the immeasurable growth that occurs when someone feels seen, heard and valued.” That relationship is reciprocal at City Year UK. It is because our mentors ‘see’ the pupils they support and pupils ‘see’ their mentors that both can achieve their potential. 

## Yours in service, 

. 

Jonathan Beebe, Chair of the Board of Trustees Kevin Munday, Chief Executive

## THE WIDENING ATTAINMENT GAP IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND 

## The Social Mobility Commission, State of the Nation, 2023 

‘Socio-economic disparities start early in life, before a child starts compulsory schooling and continue during those years. This is also the case fora person's career in the labour market.’ 

Evidence shows that disadvantaged children may have been more severely impacted by disruptions in learning due to the pandemic than their better off peers: 

## At age 11 

- ° In 2021-2022, more than half (57%) of disadvantaged pupils didn’t achieve the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to around a third of non-disadvantaged pupils (34%) 

- ° This gap has widened since before the pandemic from 20% in 2018-19 to 23% 

## At age 16 

. 

- ° In 2021-2022, 70% of disadvantaged pupils didn't achieve a 5 or above in maths and English, compared to 43% of all other pupils : 

e — Since 2018-2019, the gap has widened from 25% to 27%4 

## Post 16 

- e There is a 30% gap in Higher Education participation between those from the higher professional (51%) and the lower working classes (21%). This is one of the largest class inequalities that the Social Mobility Commission reports 

- e Among young people with similar educational levels, there are significant socio-economic background pay gaps. Those from higher-professional backgrounds earn 18% more than those from a lower working-class background who have the same level of education®

In 2021-2022, we reported how City Year UK is empowering young adult mentors to tackle educational inequality; connecting social, emotional and academic learning in schools; developing the talent pool of the future; and partnering with donors, schools and universities to enhance our impact. That vital work continues, so this year we've retained those themes but have shifted the emphasis to highlight the interconnections that are at the heart of our programme and the synergy they create. In the words of a former mentor, “When you work to change the life ofanother, it inevitably changes you.”

Higher levels of essential skills means. people are less likely to be unemployed and they have higher levels of wellbeing. But we also know that opportunities to build these skills : effectively are limited, particularly for individuals starting from a position of disadvantage and from underserved groups. , “Skills Builder are delighted to be working with City Year UK to provide mentors with opportunities to effectively build essential skills. These young people are supported brilliantly to identify their strengths and areas for development, to reflect on the essential skills they are building throughout the programme, and to track and celebrate the progression they are making. The leadership and development programme has achieveda Skills Builder Impact Level 4, the highest level that can be achieved, because it supports the mentors in setting goals for the skills they want to develop and, after the programme, to track and quantify the progress they have made.” ~Tom Varley, Impact Organisations Manager, Skills Builder Partnership _ 

In 2022-2023, our mentors made significant gains across all 8 essential skills defined by the Skills Builder Partnership as the highly transferable skills that you need to do almost any job. ‘Listening’ showed the highest overall rating and ‘speaking’ registered the greatest improvement. The measurement tool is based on self-assessment but every mentor cross references their scores with their school’s City Year staff member to ensure a robust rating.

## OUR HOLISTIC IMPACT IN SCHOOLS 

; 

, 

The case for coaching more than catch up “The Fair Education Alliance is clear that our education system is not working for every child and needs longer-term systemic changes. If the core purpose of education is to prepare every young person, no matter their background, for work and life, we believe we must value their wellbeing, skills and inclusion alongside academic attainment.” —The Fair Education Alliance® 

The Fair Education Alliance highlights how education should be fostering “a sense of belonging and opportunities to develop... passions.” Instead, we are seeing worsening wellbeing and disengagement as social and emotional needs go unmet. In the autumn term of 2022, persistent absence rose to 24%5 and focus groups conducted by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) found that anxiety is the biggest driver’. 

Over 1 in 6 children aged 7-16 had a probable mental health disorder in 2022, up from 1 in 9 in 2017. They are less likely to feel safe at school, report enjoyment of learning or having a friend for support.” The CSJ heard the need for a greater focus on mental health and wellbeing and the value of a whole-school approach, which puts the child at the centre. Focus group participants added: “Young people need an adult to confide in who they can trust.” They highlighted the benefits of a third party, separate from school and home. : 

. City Year UK’s role in school has always been to provide just such holistic support and our programme is evolving to ensure that we provide an intentional counter to the attainment gap in the context of these broad and magnified challenges. : Based on feedback and experiences of practitioners and partners in the UK and US, we have developed a student success coaching framework so that our mentors continue to be embedded in schools and remain central to creating welcoming, safe and engaging learning environments where all pupils can thrive. : 

## Student success coaching 

: : 

“| have seen clearly that children aren't absent from school because they don’t want to learn. On the contrary they are desperate to learn but every day thousands of children find themselves without the support that they need to engage in education and attend school.” 

—Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner for England’® 

Key to student success coaching is the connection between mentor and pupil. All other drivers contribute directly or indirectly to this developmental relationship, underpinned by trust, genuine care and belonging. Mentors challenge pupils to take accountability for their own growth, involve them in decision making and expand their sense of what is possible, while providing support and understanding. Crucially, a mentor is someone to talk to who isn't a teacher and can elevate pupil voice to school staff. “[Pupil] speaks openly with her mentor about her worries and struggles. They are working on her aspirations and giving her purpose behind what she is doing. [Pupil] trusts her mentor and this support helps her to engage more positively in her lessons.” —Teacher

Measuring social and emotional skills |<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Student success coaching integrates social and emotional skills building from the beginning. Mentors offer broad provision during lessons, clubs and at break time and are trained to observe pupils across 8 competencies using the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA). The appropriate support is then tailored to each child depending on whether they are rated as showing ‘strength’, are ‘typical’ or in ‘need.’

## PARTNERSHIPS WITH PURPOSE 

City Year UK is built on partnerships. Alongside financial support, shared connections and skills lead to collaborations that can be transformative for our young adult mentors and the pupils they support. 

## Raising our profile and partnering for change in 2022-2023: 

The Rt Hon.,Lord Blunkett hosted a reception at the House of Commons on behalf of City Year UK. The theme, ‘Investing in Young People’, shone a spotlight on sector partnerships and our collective impact with UK Year of Service. 

53 corporates, trusts, foundations, individual and family donors provided financial support and engagement critical to our impact. Thank you. 

## Building bridges between business and young people 

A key part of City Year UK’s role is to bring businesses together with young adults to open doors to opportunity. One way we do that is by pairing each mentor with their own mentor (known as a Bridge Builder) from a professional background, who offers a sounding board throughout the year on everything from career options and goals to CV development and interview skills.

## Making change happen with UK Year of Service: Riya’s story 

School service leader, Riya, felt there was something missing in her school. Despite the cultural diversity and staff's hard work, festivals and celebrations were going unacknowledged. Having had the same experience at school, she realised her role meant she could influence change. Riya planned and led two major projects and the result was phenomenal. Through food tasting and sharing, games and competitions, dance exhibitions and music, she encouraged and enabled young people and staff to celebrate and share their heritage and culture.

This year, we have delivered City Year UK’s programme in 21 schools across three sites and, although the fundraising context remains challenging, we were successful in continuing to grow our reserves. 

The Statement of Financial Activities on page 43 of these financial statements show the impact of our careful financial management, with a surplus for the year ended 31 July 2023 of £22,691. This is the result of total incoming resources of £2,617,220 net of total resources expended of £2,594,529. Unrestricted funds at the year end were £449,983 and restricted funds were nil. 

## Reserves 

Trustees’ policy is to retain a prudent level of reserves from unrestricted income to; 

: 

- . Ensure that the charity can continue to provide a stable and high quality service to our beneficiaries ° Provide sufficient working capital for the planned activities for the following year 

- ° Meet unexpected costs such as loss of key personnel, staff cover for illness, maternity or paternity leave, or the legal costs defending the charity's interest 

- e Invest in organisational development to support long-term stability and sustainability 

- ° Meet all contractual liabilities, and in the event of the closure have provision set aside for redundancy costs, liabilities to creditors and any existing lease commitments 

- ° Replace equipment as it wears out and which is not funded by restricted funds 

## Amount of reserves 

The reserves at 31 July 2023 stand at £449,983 compared to £427,292 in FY22. The unrestricted reserves after adjusting for those reserves that can only be realised by disposal of tangible fixed assets (free reserves) amount to £449,983 compared to . £427,292, an increase of £22,691. 

' The trustees estimate that a prudent level of unrestricted reserves required for the charity to comply with its reserves policy is eight to twelve weeks of total expenditure. Based on budgeted expenditure for the current year, a prudent level of reserves would be between £421,637 and £632,455. 

As in previous years, the trustees have set a surplus budget and fundraising ptan to continue building the reserves. 

## Assessment of going concern 

In considering the likely going concern of the charity, trustees have assessed both the prospect of there being sufficient cash flow over the next twelve months to support operations, and the likelinood of being able to complete the next academic year with sufficient reserves based on current fundraising prospects. After assessing these risks the trustees feel confident that our-current fundraising strategy will result in sufficient income to remain a going concern. The trustees have also set clear budgets and goals to make operating surpluses and grow the reserves over the next two years.

## Principal risks and risk management 

} 

City Year UK's trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established policies, systems and procedures to manage them. A risk register is updated at least annually and this is regularly reviewed to mitigate the risks the charity faces. 

## The principal risks are: 

e Loss of funding or inability to secure sufficient funding « — Safeguarding failure for volunteers and children 

- . Inability to recruit sufficient schools or young people ¢ — Reputational damage ° Breach of data security or compliance e Loss of key personnel 

: 

, 

- Fraud or financial mismanagement 

; 

City Year UK has a safeguarding policy that covers all our interactions with pupils and all volunteers undertake child protection training before being permitted to volunteer in schools or work with children. In a review of the safeguarding policy, the NSPCC noted that it was ‘fit for purpose’ and made recommendations for further improvement which have been implemented. Volunteers and staff undergo a DBS check before they can take up a paid or voluntary role with City Year UK. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors. There are internal policies and procedures covering HR, IT, GDPR/data protection, privacy and security as well as internal financial controls for the authorisation of all financial transactions and projects.

## TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS : FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 

We expect our operating environment to continue to be challenging in 2023-2024. For City Year UK to be successful, we require sufficient young people to volunteer as mentors, enough schools able to make a financial contribution to the costs of the service and a community of funders who are able to to meet the remainder of the costs. All are under some pressure, with the buoyant job market and cost of living challenges making it harder to attract young adult volunteers, schools still operating under budgets that are falling in real terms and donors inundated with requests for support. : 

; 

City Year UK is therefore finding ways of improving its proposition to volunteers in the year ahead, including by increasing expenses by up to 25%.. We have made the decision to place the volunteers in larger teams in a smaller number of schools to ensure that we are able to consistently serve more pupils that need our support the most. We will continue to trial some different approaches, such as a tailored pathway for volunteers who were previously not in education, employment and training and a part-time volunteering option that can be combined with higher education or work. We will also carry out feasibility studies into whether we should expand into new locations where there are additional volunteers and schools that ~ we have not yet reached. 

This work will be underpinned by best in class evidence on what works. We will carry out a behavioural insight study into the attitudes and beliefs of ourprospective volunteers to ensure that we are effectively targeting and positioning our programme. We will launch a mentor forum so that our volunteers have a strong voice in organisational decision making. We will also continue to develop our impact measurement so as to prove and improve the difference that we make to young people.

None of this is possible without the support of our amazing community of donors and supporters. We will maintain a strong programme of employability activities so that both pupils and mentors can get exposure to the world of work. We will continue to diversify our funding sources so that we can help more young people. We will also work with the UK Year of Service campaign to secure more government support for full-time national community service opportunities.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR'S
REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY YEAR UK 

: 

## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

: 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of City Year UK (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial . statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted ‘ Accounting Practice). 

## In our opinion, the financial statements: 

* give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2023 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended; e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and * have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the CompaniesAct 2006. 

## Basis for opinion 

. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## Other information 

The other. information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine 

39 



INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 

. 

## CITY YEAR UK 

whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have _ performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- e the information given in the Trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- « the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

: 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: : 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- * - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or e — certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or « we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or . the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors. , 

## Responsibilities of Trustees 

: 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 36, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the 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 financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY YEAR UK 

## Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a _ material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are. considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

; 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: : 

- . The Charitable Company is required to comply with both company law and charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance. 

- ° We gained an understanding of how the charitable company complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted funds, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls. : 

- e The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charitable company’s susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override. . 

- ° Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions. i 

: 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## Use of the audit report 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken, so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

## i ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

' 

(a) Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 second edition) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Iretand’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ; 

> ; (b) Going concern The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these : financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. 

In particular, the Trustees regularly review detailed cashflow projections including all expenses, expected school income and the weighted pipeline for grants and donations prepared on a bottom-up basis. They also consider the risks of schools dropping out, the pipeline not coming through and the timing of receipts from schools and donors. The Trustees, having considered the projections and risks described above have a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resource will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. Based on this the trustees have concluded that the charity remains a going concern. 

(c) ‘Income Income consists of grants and donations and bank interest receivable. These are dealt with on a receivable basis, i.e., income is recognised when it becomes legally receivable. Where income has been used specifically for funding fixed assets, the income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities and depreciation on the fixed assets is charged against the relevant fund as it arises. : 

(d) Donations in Kind Donations in kind are recognised both as income and expenditure where their value can be ascertained with reasonable certainty. : 

~ (e) Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal-or constructive obligation committing the ~ charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Whenever possible, expenditure is allocated direct to the activity to which it relates on an actual basis. Where actual allocation is not possible the costs are apportioned on the basis of staff costs. 

## (f Restricted Funds 

; 

Where income is given for a specific purpose or project, the funds are treated as restricted and any surplus or . deficit will be carried forward as a restricted fund until it is fully applied for the specified purposes. 

(g) Value Added Tax The Charitable Company is not registered for value added tax (VAT) and input tax is not recoverable. Expenditure is therefore recorded inclusive of VAT.
