Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Achievement and performance
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the charity experienced a period of significant growth and operational expansion, alongside increasing financial complexity. Income grew significantly, driven by a combination of contracts, grants and retail activity, with total turnover in excess of £1.1m.
This growth enabled the charity to expand its reach and deliver a wide range of services, including social prescribing, employability support through the Rise programme, and health inequality initiatives such as SeeCHANGE. However, the pace of growth also brought multiple challenges, particularly in relation to financial management, cost control and organisational structure.
During the year, it became clear that improvements were required in financial procedures, reporting and budgeting processes. In response, delays in the recording and reporting alongside mitigating negative impact resulted in significant loss of funds and change of charity leadership.
In 2024/25 it was imperative that the charity was to take decisive action to strengthen financial oversight. This includes:
-
transitioning to a more robust cashflow-based financial management approach;
-
implementing a new accounting system (from Sage to QuickBooks, now to Xero) to enable improved tracking of income and expenditure across cost centres;
-
reviewing organisational costs and taking steps to reduce expenditure, including restructuring within staffing teams;
-
improving internal financial reporting to trustees to support better decision-making.
Despite these challenges, the charity managed to remain operational working on cashflow basis to maintain finances and deliver services effectively. Based on current financial information, the organisation has demonstrated the ability to operate on low reserves keeping close attention to bank balance and costs.
Future plans
Looking forward, the trustees recognise that the charity is entering an even more challenging funding environment. In response, significant work has been undertaken to stabilise the financial position, understand its core costs and ensure sustainability.
A detailed budget has been developed for 2026/27 under the leadership of the new Chief Executive, Alex Parker. This budget projects a planned deficit of approximately £50,000, which the trustees consider to be manageable, realistic and sustainable in the context of the charity’s overall turnover, reserves position and mitigation of risks.
This position has been achieved through:
-
securing extensions to existing contracts, providing greater short-term income certainty;
-
implementing tighter cost controls across the organisation;
-
Understanding core costs and aligning staffing structures more closely with secured and forecast income;
-
strengthening financial planning and monitoring processes.
3
Age UK North Yorkshire Coast and Moors
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees are confident that the projected deficit represents a controlled and strategic position, allowing the charity to transition towards a more sustainable operating model while continuing to deliver key services to the community.
In addition, the charity is actively exploring opportunities to diversify income streams, with increased focus on fundraising, retail growth (including online sales), and a gradual shift towards a more balanced model of charitable delivery alongside commissioned services.
The appointment of new accountants and the continued development of improved financial systems will further strengthen financial governance, reporting, and transparency.
Following the year end, there have also been changes in leadership, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive, which the Board believes will further enhance governance and strategic oversight.
Going concern
On this basis, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, with a clear plan in place to manage risk, improve financial resilience, and support the long-term sustainability of the charity.
Fundraising
The retail group has increased its income over the year from £152k to £227k.
The charity is committed to maintaining high standards of fundraising and retail activity. The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. The Charity does not use any third parties to act on its behalf in relation to fundraising. No complaints were received by the charity during 2024/25 in relation to its fundraising activities.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Financial review
The statement of financial activities shows a deficit of £118,743 (2024: £106,396). This comprises of a deficit on restricted funds of £23,081 (2024: £91,059) and a deficit of £95,662 (2024: £15,337) on unrestricted funds.
Total reserves amounted to £221,775 of the consolidated group at the year end (2024: £340,518).
The Charity holds £85,902 (2024: £91,374) of restricted funds to be spent on specific projects in forthcoming years more details can be seen in note 19.
Unrestricted reserves of £135,873 (2024: £249,144) are held in line with the reserve policy below.
The Charity's total income decreased from £1,125,917 to £1,069,234.
The Charity has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Age UK Scarborough & District Trading Limited. This is a sole member company limited by guarantee. From 1 April 2019 it is being used to deliver paid-for services, which provide support to older people in and around Scarborough & District and generate unrestricted revenue for the parent Charity through the covenanting of profits.
The principle funding sources of the charity in the year were:
-
Grants from Age UK England, National Lottery Community Grants and Government Grants.
-
Contracts for services provided.
-
Retail income.
Risk management
The charity has a reasonable reserves position and has a risk assessment procedure. We have identified the need to diversify our sources of income from trusts and contracts to give us more resilience as an organisation.
As we have grown, we have identified the need to monitor data and improve quality.
The principal financial risks and uncertainties are considered to relate primarily to the ability of the Charity to access funding for its activities and generate sufficient unrestricted Income to support its infrastructure. The Trustees aim to manage these risks through the timely submission of funding bids and the identification of suitable income-generating activities in line with its general aims, as well as a drive to reduce the scope of loss-making ventures.
The regular reports received at committee meetings enable the Trustees to monitor major risks to which the Charity is exposed so that necessary steps can be taken to manage those risks.
Reserves
The Trustees consider that an appropriate level of free reserves is three months of liquid reserves. Free reserves are unrestricted reserves less any fixed assets and lease commitments held in unrestricted funds free reserves stand at £135,310 which is the equivalent of 1.4 months expenditure.
Any additional reserves available at 31 March 2025 have enabled the charity to maintain its activities while it continues to seek new funding streams and will continue to support activities during 2025/26.

HPH CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST AND MOORS
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Age UK North Yorkshire Coast and Moors for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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 group’s and of the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 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 group 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 charity'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 trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
8
HPH CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST AND MOORS
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 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 our audit
-
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 have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and their 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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the parent company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
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.
-
� the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Trustees Annual Report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 6-7, 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.
9
HPH CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST AND MOORS
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.
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:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 together with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 2019. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
-
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Health and Safety legislation, Employment legislation, Charity Commission regulations and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
-
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
-
We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud.
-
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and income recognition and timing of expenditure.
10
HPH CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AGE UK NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST AND MOORS
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations and risk of fraud, we designed procedures which included but were not limited to: sample testing on the posting of journals, detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income, detailed testing on timing of expenditure, reviewing regulatory correspondence and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
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 our 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.

If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Legacies
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Gifts in kind donated for resale
It is impracticable to fair value gifts in kind donated for resale due to the volume of low value items so they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within 'Income from other trading activities'.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
2.5 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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

2.5 Expenditure (continued)
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include administrative and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
2.6 Irrecoverable VAT

Leasehold property - over the term of the lease Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% straight line or over the life of the associated grant Motor vehicles - 25% straight line Computer equipment - 25% straight line
2.8 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and any short-term deposit accounts with a maturity of three months or less from the date of opening.
2.10 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.11 Employee benefits
