## **Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit**
The objects for which the company was established are to act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 years living in Redcar and Cleveland 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 them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals
- b) Advancing education
- c) Relieving unemployment
- d) Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons
## **Achievements and Performance**
Kidz Konnekt has had a mixed year of successes and challenges this year with the on-going effects of the phased exit from lockdown, covid infections, restrictions and the changes to the needs of young people and the community. This along with the ever advancing feeling of getting back to normal has
Company No. 06993614 Charity No. 1138691
Page 4 of 13
Kidz Konnekt **(a company limited by guarantee)**
been unsettling for organisations, staff and Children and Young People.
The impact of the pandemic has created both challenges and opportunities for the organisation. We all have felt the impact on our Physical Health and Wellbeing but none more than our Children and Young Peoples who had less resilience to such big changes and such sustained fear of their safety and health. The isolation, missed developmental opportunities and education will become more evident as time goes on. Kidz Konnekt is therefore dedicated to developing and delivering an emotional health and wellbeing project for our children and young people in the near future to combat the effects of the pandemic.
Getting the workforce re-established and back to work has been a challenge and then to support the wellbeing of young people and re-engage them in education and activity has been an opportunity to develop new projects, new ways of working and further cement partnerships with schools, funders, families and the community. Times of need can bring communities and networks closer together and inspire new ideas.
The Kidz Konnekt Youth and Community centre has been a hub of activity all year and has been a place for much needed social time for young people and a place to feel safe and engage in issue based workshops. During the school holidays we were busy with 60 children a day 5 days a week operating in bubbles and in term time we were open 5 nights a week.
We have spent the year offering a wide range of activities and projects including sport, recreation, Music, Art, Outdoor activities, nature based activities, Team Building, volunteering, cooking and one to one support were required.
Over the year new emerging funding opportunities to support us to engage young people in different ways and projects to engage children and young people in Outdoor Learning through our Konnekt Outdoors project has become more available.
A highlight of the year has been the further development of the primary schools Outdoor Learning offer and the engagement of local schools in an Outdoor Learning Curriculum. Delivering a wide range of outdoor learning activities with our partners from the North York Moors National Park Outdoor Learning Team, supporting the Konnekt Outdoors Team programme has gone from strength to strength with the continued support from Sport Englands You’ve Got This project.
The trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above.
## **Financial Review**
## _Reserves Policy_
The Executive Committee of Kidz Konnekt are working towards the policy of having sufficient reserves to be able to cover six months operational costs.
## _Investment powers, policies and performance_
The trustees have considered that cash deposits are the most appropriate policy for investing funds.
## **Plans for the Future**
Next year we want to further extend the youth services we provide with the creation of a new Emotional Health and Wellbeing Project. We are looking to develop the resources of the centre and be able to provide more activities from the hub. The further development of the Konnekt Outdoors project will see a development in to an enterprise initiative to support sustainability in to the future.

## **Independent Examiners Report**
Report to the trustees/members of Kidz Konnekt on Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 7-12
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 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 financial statements under s.145 of the 2011 Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act;and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act ; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
