YOUNG DORSET

Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The overall objectives of the charity Young Dorset are to:

Set up in August 2011 following a National Citizen Service (NCS) programme, Young Dorset works with children, youth and adults within the community, including those who are disengaged, isolated, hard to reach, disabled, disadvantaged and who have Special Educational Needs. We provide our beneficiaries with inspiring projects, motivational interventions and workshops to enable our community to take steps in developing a healthy lifestyle. We offer access to training and development in life and employability skills as well as the opportunity to undertake qualifications and apprenticeships, helping our County's community to realise their potential and engage positively with society.

Public benefit

We refer to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings, for planning our activities and meeting our aims.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Due to the continued support from our associated company GDF Consultancy.com Limited (GDF) the charity has been able to:

- develop our farm.

We have found our footings with strategies to be self-sufficient.

Furthermore, within the next four years we will have the full knowledge and understanding required to enable us to gain school status and to set up Young Dorset's independent school.

The development of the site and young people continued throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic, as we were able to remain open. This was of huge benefit to the mental wellbeing of our young people.

The trustees believe the charity is a going concern thanks to the continued support of GDF. The charity is in the process of setting up a sister organisation in the Midlands to run alternative versions in other counties.

Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

At the year end, there are net current liabilities of £47,166 with a further £13,667 payable in more than one year.

GDF Consultancy.com Ltd continues to provide financial support. The Trustees are working hard to develop alternative sources of funding. They are also continuing to look at ways to cut expenditure to ensure the level of outgoings is below the level of receipts.

With planning permission being granted and funds sourced, the barns and other learning pods have been built on the farm. The charity is growing its Alternative Provision offer alongside developing its volunteers and the recruitment of staff.

Reserves policy

All reserves are retained for the future benefit of the charity.

FUTURE PLANS

The charity has learnt that it needs to operate a more robust strategy and become less reliant on third party funders. GDF Consultancy.com Ltd has been an integral part of the success of the charity; both with knowledge management, training and development, funding expertise, human resources and time management. It has been noted that the trustees wish Young Dorset to become more self-sustainable.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Young Dorset

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Young Dorset ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns. other than the matter set out below, and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Matter of concern identified

The matter that has come to my attention is that the charity relies on the support of GDF Consultancy.com Ltd to finance its operations. While GDF Consultancy.com Ltd has confirmed the financing will not be withdrawn in the , foreseeable future, GDF Consultancy.com Ltd has negative equity as at 31 August 2021, indicating a risk that the amount due to GDF Consultancy.com Ltd may be called in.

This means that there is significant uncertainty as to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The charity has insufficient free reserves to maintain current operations. The trustees are confident that alternative sources of funding will be secured. On this basis, the trustees have concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the charity's accounts on a going concern basis. The trustees are aware that if alternative funding is not secured, should it be necessary, then there is a significant uncertainty in respect of the charity being able to continue as a going concern and being able to continue its operations.

This fact has not been disclosed by the trustees in the annual accounts as required by section 3.38 of the Charities SORP.

Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Young Dorset is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 07751807. The registered office is Bath House, 6-8 Bath Street, Bristol, BS1 6HL and the business address is Romany Centre Business Park, Wareham Road, Holton Heath, Poole, BH16 6JL. The charity engages in learning and development activities. The charity is a public benefit entity.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. The trustees have the ongoing financial support of GDF Consultancy.com Ltd to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Farm - Not depreciated
Trailer - 25% on reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Debtors

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any amounts advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

Cash and short term investments

Cash at bank is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes and includes all cash equivalents held in the form of short-term highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Working capital requirements and going concern basis

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

GDF Consultancy.com Ltd has agreed with Young Dorset that it will support the charity's working capital requirements as necessary over the next 12 months by providing further finance as necessary.

Government grants

Government grants received and receivable relate to support set up by the government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account on a receipt basis.
