## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Objects**
The charity’s objects are to act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 living in London and surrounding area by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of;
(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable to participate in society as independent and responsible individuals;

(c) providing recreational and leisure activities in the interest of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.
## **Constitution**
The Charity was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission under registration number 11346630 on 3 March 2010.
## **Significant activities**
We are proud to amplify our achievements for this year that have significantly improved young people’s lives.
We have witnessed a growing demand to our service which have seen us engage 1136 Young people predominantly from the BAME, Migrant and Refugees. Particularly in this year, we have supported newly arrived young people who have either been referred through local authorities and organisations and word of mouth. We have provided advice guidance support, in areas of finding education, employability, building friendship and other matters that enable them to integrate well.
The need for accommodation and homelessness remains one issue of concern for our young adult community aged (17-25years). In our needs assessment, listening exercise we engaged 34 young people, 83% are experiencing homelessness or in very unstable accommodation. For the future we are looking to working with the young people and partners to address it.
Addressing racism remains one of the other core activities as it impacts our communities. This year we have continued to engage diverse partners such as schools, statutory services and the community to work towards addressing this. This project is led by young people with lived experience
We would like to thank our valued Funders, Partners and allies who have made it possible to deliver a total of 420 workshops/ activities service that include:
- Young people’s participation in decision making processes;
- Youth Leadership and Development;
- Business enterprise start up training;
- Youth mentoring;
- Community cohesion and cultural integration; and
- Employment Support.
## **Volunteers**
During the period ended 31 March 2025 the charity relied a great deal on volunteers to perform a variety of tasks accounting writing bids, events, administration and managements.

## **Achievements and Performance**
## **Charitable activities**
A summary of results for the year is shown on page 4 of the accounts. The trustees consider that the performance of the charity has been progressive and satisfactory. Total income for the year was £362,014 (2024: £416,789). Total expenditure was £439,731 (2024: £378,488). Total fund reserves as at 31 March 2025 amount to -£30255 (2024: £47,462).
## **Internal and external factors**
The trustees are very grateful to the donors for their kind support.
## **Financial Review**
‑ The Charity currently has no reserves and is in a net liability position because we received payments and grants later than expected. This delay has affected our ability to meet our obligations. Nevertheless, we still had to make essential payments—such as salaries and rent—even when donations had not yet been received. After year ‑ end, we began receiving the outstanding payments and grants, and we expect to start building our reserves over the next two years.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have deemed it prudent to have a policy of having unrestricted funds held by the charity of at least six months of resources. They will be making efforts to achieve this.
During the current financial year, the reserves have been depleted to support oversubscription of our programmes which is mainly driven by the impact of the cost of leaving. To date, we have not been selective in terms of the number children we support and we will continue to do so, by sourcing increased funding from both new and existing donors as we believe the work we are doing as a charity makes a difference in the community.
## **Future developments**
The charity will in the future further develop crime reduction programmes, arts and community festival events to enhance community cohesion in the local area and develop skills for young people.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Governing**
The charity is an unincorporated association which is controlled by a constitution adopted 6 April 2009 as amended by special resolution 1 February 2010.
## **Organisational Structure**
The trustees meet when required and at least annually to review the strategy of charity.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

## **1. Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

## **Note 2: Accounting policies 2.1 INCOME**
**Recognition of** Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: **income**

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by **Offsetting** the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. **Grants and** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to **donations** 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income is recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). **Government** The charity has received government grants in the reporting period **grants Support costs** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

Governance costs comprise **and support** all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. **costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. **Grants with** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be **performance** provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified **conditions** service or output. **Grants payable** Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the **without** commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. **performance**

## **Note 13 Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. During the year, the Charity ‑ operated without reserves and was in a net liability position, primarily due to delays in receiving committed payments and grants. These delays affected the timing of cash inflows and placed pressure on the Charity’s ability to service its obligations as they fell due. Despite these challenges, the Charity continued to meet essential expenditure—such as staff salaries, rental commitments and ‑ other operational costs—using available cash resources and short term support arrangements.
Subsequent to the year end, the Charity began to receive the outstanding payments and grant income that had been due during the reporting period. These receipts have significantly improved the Charity’s cash position and have enabled management to stabilise operations. The Trustees have ‑ also implemented strengthened cash flow monitoring processes and have engaged with funders to ensure more predictable income patterns going forward.
Based on cash flow forecasts prepared for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the Trustees are confident that the Charity will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Furthermore, the Trustees expect the Charity to begin rebuilding reserves over the next two years as grant funding normalises and planned fundraising initiatives take effect.
Accordingly, the Trustees believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
