Doncaster Housing for Young People Ltd
Trustees, Report
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together
with the fi'nancial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and alms
The Charity delivers services that reflect its mission and are in line with its objectives- to advan￿ the
interests of young people between the ages of 16-25 in Doncaster and surrounding areas who are
homeless, vulnerable to homelessness, or inadequately housed, by providing accommodation,
advice, services and support.
Our services are designed to work together as a coordinated package, helping young people facing
homelessness to overcome barriers and move toward achieving their full potential.
Our initiatives include Supported Lodgings, Floating Support, Shared Supported Housing, Counselling
& Wellbeing, a Progressions programme, and an Employment Skills Project. Through these, young
people can build new skills and gain meaningful volunteering experience.
Preventing homelessness remains a key focus for us, and we also run an educational programme that
raises awareness of the realities of homelessness with young people in schools and colleges across
Doncaster.
Many of the young people we work with are parents themselves, which means our support often
benefits generations at once. By focusing on homelessness prevention, we help young people
avoid falling into unstable lifestyles and the challenges that can come with them such as poverty, poor
health, and social isolation.
Our work also extends more broadly, offering help with building vital life skills and connecting young
people to other services, including specialist support for mental health.
Over the past year. we have expanded our wellbeing offering to include outreach wellbeing work.
In 2024-25, 62 young people improved their wellbeing, including 35 who accessed counselling, 22
through outreach, and 19 at the weekly Wellbeing Hub. The service delivered over 1,000 hours of
counselling and wellbeing support, addressing anxiety, isolalion, and resilience.
Ten young people who completed support showed significant improvement in wellbeing on the
SWEMWBS scale. As one young person explained: "In the counselling, I could bring up anything and
actually speak about it rationally and come to a conclusion.. Another added. We're all similar in a
way. We've all been through different things but can relate to each other... It has improved my lifel"
In 2024-25, 14 young people accessed DHYP'S Supported Housing across shared houses,
offering six bedspaces. Each resident had a private bedroom with shared facilities and a tailored
support plan to build life skills and independence. Outcomes included improved wellbeing, finances,
friendships, and readiness to move on, with many progressing to social housing tenancies.
As one young person said.. "I have a nice home and feel safe, I have really nice new friends and
support from DHYP. Another reflected. It has allowed me to develop my character without fearf,.

ObJ8Ctives, strategies and activities
Involving Young People
Young people play a central role in shaping and reviewing our services, ensuring they remain
relevant, effective, and truly client led.
We also continued our Client Scrutiny arrangements, giving young people the opportunity to examine
and influence key areas of DHYP'S work. For example, they reviewed DHYP'S Move-on Preparation
Programme and Performance report.
"l enjoyed giving constructive criticism to help DHYP"
Collaboration
We work closely with a range of statutory and voluntary organisations across Doncaster and regard
effective collaboration as crucial to maximising our impact. There is a thriving voluntary, community,
and faith sector in Doncaster, doing vital work in the community. Through collaboration across all
these sectors, we can extend the reach of our services and provide learning and volunteering
opportunities for young people.

Public benefit
When planning the activities for the year the trustees have considered the Charity Commissions
guidance on public benefit. The activities described above, and achievements and future plans
outlined elsewhere in this report deliver positive change to a large number of young people and to the
community in general, and thus deliver 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 guidan￿ published by the Charity Commission for
England and Wales.

Achlevements and perforniance
During the year, we provided a range of commissioned and non-commissioned services, funded
through a blend of contract and grant funding.
Through our housing-related support contract with Doncaster Council, we provide supported lodgings
and fl08ting support services, underpinned by a range of performance indicators measuring the
impact of our work.
Our supported lodgings Servi￿ prepares young people for independent living, with 93.80/0 of clients
successfully moving on from the service during the year, with an average length of stay of 9 months.
Our floating support service helps young people set up and sustain a tenancy, with 100 % of clients
successfully engaged with the service during 2024-25. At any one time, there are around 45 young
people in supported lodgings or on floating support.
Within our grant-funded projects, we have a range of performance tsrgets to assess the impact of our
work, including..
1. 54 young people supported to find a home
2. 18 young people volunteered in the community or gained workplace experience
3. 18 young people accessed training, education andlor employment
4. 24 young people engaged with the Future Pathways project
5. 35 young people involved in client engagement activities

8. 396 client hours of wellbeing support provided at the Wellbeing Hub
9. 460 clients hours of wellbeing supported provided through our new Outreach Wellbeing Service

Behind the statistics are personal stories of individual young people and lives transformed. We
measure how clients are doing through our Theory of Change, focusing on the client journey and
supporting young people to achieve their potential.
"The open-door pollcy means you can come and go anytime for food, fun, and good times. You can
chat with like-minded people and enjoy a different activity every week."
Volunteering
Throughout the year, we have received voluntary support in many fonns. This includes from student
volunteers on placements who have carried out administrative and research roles at DHYP and from
our Volunteer Counsellors and Wellbeing Coaches who conduct weekly Counselling and Wellbeing
Sessions with our clients.
We have also re￿iVed corporate support from local businesses, such as EE, to clean and decorate
our shared accommodation.
In addition, DHYP clients have engaged in various volunteering endeavours, including tidying of
outdoor areas and event preparations at a local Scout Club, making and delivering hampers in the
local community and providing assistan￿ at events held by DHYP.
In total for 2024-25, we received 912 hours of support from volunteers.

Financlal revlew
Total incoming resources from donations, charitable activib'es, investment and other income for the
year ended 31 March 2025 was £460,000 (2024: £393,571)., an increase of approximately £65,000,
as a result of a £90,000 increase in grant funding, including a £75,000 grant towards the purchase of
a new property but a £25,000 decrease in donations.
Total expenditure for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £396,245 (2024.. £355,169)., an increase of
£41,000, mainly in increased employment costs.
The increase in income and in expenditure to a lesser degree, resulted in a surplus of income over
expenditure of £63,755, compared to £38,402 in 2024.

Policy on reseThes
At the year end total reserves carried forward were £308,822 made up of £123,077 restricted funds
and £185,745 unrestricted funds of which £95,450 were designated. (2024: Total funds of £245,067
including £70,030 restricted and £175,037 unrestricted funds of which £72,516 were designated).
Totsl funds include £87,597 which could only be realised by disposing of fixed assets.
The charity's unrestricted free reserves at 31 March 2025 were £2,698 (2024.. £102,365).
The organisation seeks to maintain reserves equivalent to three months, expenditure, based on
anticipated expenditure and considering any outgoings of a one￿ff nature, such as capital spending,
which might distort the day-to-day expenditure of the organisation in determining the appropriate level
of reserves. This equates to a current reserve target of £98,000.
Any funds beyond this level with be allocated towards service delivery Including, but not limited to, the
purchase, improvement or development of property to be used for client accommodation.
In line with Charity Commission expectstions, the Reserves Policy will be published on DHYP'S
website.
Residential Property Assets.
As highlighted in Section 2 of this policy, the Charity Commission specifies that tangible fixed assets,
such as land and property, should not be classed as reserves. DHYP holds an interest in two
residential properties as follows.. At 31 March 2025 the charity had one wholly owned residents'al
property,included in the fi'nancial ststements at depreciated cost of £87,480 and valued at £132,000.
Another residential propety (subject to loan finance) which benefi'tted from a grant of £75,000 was
purchased after the year end. These assets will not be included in the reserves assessment, but they
represent a tangible asset that can be referenced in wider financial planning.
Funds generated beyond the reserves requirement will be set aside to fund service delivery, including
the purchase of another property to provide client accommodalion.
The level of unrestricted reserves at 31 M8rch 2025 was above the 3-month expenditure target but
signifi'cant proportion of these reserves was designated for the purchase and renovation of a further
property in Doncaster to provide much-needed, good quality shared accommodation. The purchase of
this property was completed in the current financial year.
Designated funds have also been set aside to cover expected unfunded expenditure on the Wellbeing
Project next year.
The designation of funds for the propety purchase and renovation in 202512026 means that the free
reserves of £2,698 are considerably below the reserves target. The unrestricted reserves were
depleted during the year by the repayment of a loan on a previously restricted property from
unrestricted reserves. The property has now been reclassified as an unrestricted asset following the
repayment of the associated loan and the subsequent removal of the restriction.
Although free reserves are low, the trustees consider that the charity has suffi'cient cash to operate as
planned, because part of the planned property purchase and renovation has been funded by a loan to
be repaid over six years from February 2026 which will then be funded from rents re￿iVed from the
property.

We take a pro-active approach to the management of risk and have developed a comprehensive
strategic Risk Register which is reviewed by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis, with 8 range
of mitigations in place to manage those risks. For example, a loss of funding is a risk that many
charities face and we have put in place an income diversification plan to mitigate that risk and reduce
our relian￿ on individual sources of income. We manage a range of other risks, including risks
relating to health & safety, staff retention, data protection and social media.

The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods,. or
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional
entitlement.
Expendlture
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is
probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to
the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot
be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the
use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocaled on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on
estimated usage.
Charltable actlvities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities
and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities
and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant provlslons
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the
recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Support costs
Support costs include those functions which assist the work of the charity but do not directly
undertake charitsble activities, including admin costs, finan￿, IT, governance costs and other central
functions, and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of
resour￿$.

Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory
requirements, including preparation of statutory accounts, independent examinats'on and trustees,
meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Govemment grants are recognised based on the perfomiance model and are measured at the fair
value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to
assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income in the period in which the charity has
entitlement to the income and any performance conditions have been met. Grants relating to assets
are recognised in full when there is unconditional ents'tlement to the grant.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it VRS incurred.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010
and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains
received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporats'on Tax Act 2010 or Section
256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. to the extent that such income or gains are
applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tanglble flxed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, and then carried at cost
less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreclatlon and amortlsatlon
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any
estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows..
Asset class
Office equipment
Propety
Depreclatlon method and rate
250A reducing balance basis
50 years straight line
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers or grant funders for services performed in the
ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due less any provision for impairment. A
provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the
charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equlvalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade credltors
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as
result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement,
and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally
recognised at their settlement amount.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
ourse of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified a5 current liabilities if the charity
does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the
creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer
settlement for at least ￿e1ve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current
liabilities.
Borrowlng8
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference behveen
the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a
charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest
payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least ￿e1ve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in
furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specifi'c purposes at the discretion of the
trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the
use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Penslons and other post retirement obligat5on8
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which
fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation
to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the
benefit relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities
when they are due. If contribution payments ex￿ed the contribution due for service, the excess is
recognised as a prepayment.
