Trustees' (Directors') Annual Report for the Year Ended 31st March 2024

Report of the trustees:

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are also prepared to meet the requirements of the directors' report and accounts for the Companies Act 2006 purposes.

A charity registered in England and Wales; the trustees have had regard to the Commission's guidance on public benefit and the Charities Act 2011; and, as a company, prepared its accounts in accordance with the UK Companies Act 2006.

The charity has prepared its accounts using 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 – second edition), effective 1 January 2019, applicable to all charities in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland that follow this SORP for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission regulation update: issue 62, effective from 01 April 2019

Chair’s report:

Hello and welcome to our annual report covering the period of 1st April 2023 – 31st March 2024. I think this is the 5th report I have submitted to you all as the chair of the charitable Trust that runs Edge Hill Youth and Community Centre.

The big news from this year was the purchase of a long-awaited new minibus for the club. Residentials and trips are a key part of what the Club offer the community - having our own minibus in good condition makes a huge difference to planning and delivering these activities. I’m sure everyone connected with the club is looking forward to clocking up the miles as we start a fun range of trips.

One personal highlight for me was the first award of the Bill Tavener Prize for citizen of merit. You may recall that Bill Tavener and his family have been key supporters of the charity for many decades. Bill passed away in 2021 and we wanted to have a permanent memorial to him. We decided to set up an annual award for the club member that had best embodied the values of community and good citizenship. The first recipient of the award was Kayla Hardy whose commitment to helping others in the community made her a deserved first winner of the prize.

Every year as a group of trustees, we review the club’s health and safety and safeguarding policies. We also reviewed the measures we have in place to ensure financial probity. Even though we are a micro-charity we still need to have these safeguards in place to ensure that the charity is run well now and in the future.

Once again, the funders, friends and supporters all make this happen. We are a charity that arose out of the need to provide something for the young people of Edge Hill and that is very much what we are still about, so we rely on our key partnership with Liverpool City Council’s Targeted Services for Young People. You can see for yourself in the report the range of funders we have providing a range of donations to allow us to keep the building going and to keeping staff working in the building.

Overall, I am pleased to report that the Club and the Centre are still a viable going concern. That means the people of Edge Hill will still be able to benefit from all the great work going on now and into the future.

Tim Beaumont

Chair

P.S. We are always keen to have new trustees join us who feel that they may have the skills needed to keep the trust going on a sound footing. If you are interested, please get in contact with me or the Centre Manager.

1 Objectives and activities:

Staff of Edge Hill Youth and Community Centre Limited and Management Committee are committed to supporting disadvantaged groups and individual young people aged 7-25 to achieve their full potential and enable them to make a smooth transition to adult life.

The charity’s objects are to help and educate young people up to the age of 25 irrespective of race, colour, sex, disability or social background through their educational and leisure-time activities so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their quality of life may be improved.

This commitment extends further to a variety of community groups and individuals, such as pensioners and other residents and local community members, which the centre serves. Edge Hill Youth and Community Centre Limited focuses on a safe, positive and structured environment, which is accessible, stimulating, fun, affordable and of high quality. This is achieved by providing opportunities for young people to develop and enhance their personal, social and life skills and to widen their experiences, horizons and personal aspirations.

In considering the objectives and activities the trustees have also adhered to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the Edge Hill Youth and Community Centre Limited is meeting its Public Benefit requirements.

2 Achievements and performance:

In the financial year 2023/24, Edgehill Youth & Community Centre (EHYCC) continued to positively impact the local community. With a membership exceeding 380 young individuals, our Centre continues to serve as a hub for the local youth.

The Junior and Senior sessions have consistently attracted an average of 30 young people per session. The sessions offer a wide range of activities, to suit different interests and preferences, for example, PlayStation games, pool table games and creative activities like music, dance, and karaoke.

Additionally, our programme includes cookery classes, football, and discussions centred on current events and themes relevant to young people.

The introduction of the Sunday session has seen on average an attendance of 16 young individuals, taking part in a variety of activities.

The installation of Astro Turf has facilitated football training sessions, providing our members with an outdoor space for honing their skills. Geared towards individuals aged 11 and above, there has been a rise in participation among young women on Sundays, which we are very happy with.

During the May and October school half terms, EHYCC welcomed new faces, including many from diverse cultural backgrounds. Throughout the school breaks, our team regularly engages with approximately 60 young individuals, offering them a safe and inclusive space to explore, create, and connect.

The success of our Easter and Summer Playschemes saw over 100 young members actively participating in a range of activities and initiatives. To accommodate the needs of our members, our operational hours were extended to ensure greater accessibility. From daytime activities for younger participants to evenings tailored to older members, our Playschemes catered to a broad range of interests and age groups. The provision of daily hot meals went down very well, especially with our young participants.

Summer Adventures and Experiences

During the summer break, EHYCC offered a series of excursions. Our older members, aged 14 to 16, took part in a trip to the Kingswood Centre, enjoying a two-night, three-day adventure with outdoor activities. This provided an opportunity to build teamworking skills and increase self-confidence.

Our younger members were also treated to their own adventures. Split into two groups, a total of thirty participants enjoyed a week-long retreat at Playaway, followed by an additional twenty-four youngsters attending the Nightingale Centre in Little Hucklow, Derbyshire.

EHYCC also organised a fun outing to the Southport Botanical Gardens in Southport Church Town, where forty children and staff enjoyed in a day of leisure activities and a change from inner city life. Departing at 9am and returning by 3:30 pm, we were lucky with the weather (!!), and all involved enjoyed the outing.

In addition to the outdoor adventures, we also arranged two theatre trips for our members. Twentythree young members loved the performance of the "Demon Dentist" by David Walliams at the Empire Theatre on a Saturday afternoon. A further 20 children went to watch ‘Jurassic Live’. The addition of ice creams at these events only added to the enjoyment!

Finally, we had the privilege of presenting the Bill Tavener Young Person’s Trophy of Merit Award to a remarkable individual aged 13 years old. This award recognised their dedication and commitment to volunteering at our Centre over a two-year period.

Community Support and Sustainability Initiatives

EHYCC is grateful to announce the receipt of a generous grant from Plant and Share. This grant enabled us to purchase thirty small tomato and strawberry plants, which were distributed among our young members. Under our guidance, they were planted both within the Centre and at the homes of the young people. The main goal of this initiative was to support the young people to learn more about food growth as well as develop a sense of achievement in being able to grow, harvest and eat their own homegrown produce.

Our free food programme, operating every Wednesday, continues to serve the local community and is well received. Each week, a group of 20 to 25 individuals benefit from this service, receiving essential food support. During the winter months, we extended our support by offering a warm hub, accompanied by engaging activities like pool. We also were able to provide a free breakfast, attracting an average of 20 to 30 individuals each day.

Additionally, our Pensioners Lunch Club continues to do well, with a consistent turnout of 15 to 20 attendees every Tuesday. This initiative provides a welcoming space for our elderly community members to gather, socialise, and enjoy healthy meals in a supportive environment.

Community Engagement and Gratitude

EHYCC continues to commit to offer a variety of engaging opportunities that cater to the interests and needs of our community, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all.

As we reflect on the past year, we are thankful for our hardworking team of staff and volunteers who positively influence the young people attending the Centre, as well as our wider community.

Here's to another year of working together to make a positive difference!

To use various communication channels, including our website, Facebook page, and targeted door-todoor leafleting within the local community to publicise our events and programmes. Weather permitting, we carry out weekly outreach sessions to raise awareness of the youth club’s resources.

Financial Sustainability

Despite our continued efforts, securing adequate funding to sustain the Club’s operations remains a challenge. Liverpool City Council and EHYCC trustees are supported by a dedicated sessional fundraiser, who seeks additional funding opportunities.

We are grateful for the support received from external sources, for example, PH Holt, The Peoples Lottery, National Community/Million Hours fund and John Moore, which have allowed us to employ sessional support workers. The potential withdrawal of this funding would have adverse effects on EHYCC's operations.

We are always grateful to all supporters, partners, and stakeholders who contribute to the success and sustainability of EHYCC.

9 Risk management

The main risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been considered and a system has been established to mitigate those risks.

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank, and active management of creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital.

Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of staff and beneficiaries, and food hygiene. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas.

10 Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to hold in unrestricted reserves, the equivalent of three months running costs and redundancy costs provision. This policy will be reviewed in twelve months’ time.

The trustees discussed the following factors in arriving at their reserves policy:

Money should only be kept in reserve for specific reasons; Total club's unrestricted funds of £180,675 consists of:

In case of shortage of reserves for these purposes, the plans are: to work hard for the attraction of new funds for core costs. Total amount of funds held at the year-end is £208,428.

11 Going concern

The trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the youth centre and consider that adequate resources continue to be available to fund the activities of the club for the next twelve months. The trustees are of the view that Edge Hill Youth and Community Centre Limited is a going concern. The trustees are aware that the lack of free reserves will provide a challenging environment in the year to come.

The Board confirms it has a reasonable expectation that the EHYCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next year. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
