4YOUTH (SOUTH WEST)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The contribution of volunteers during the year.
The lifeblood of the charity is the amazing team of volunteers and paid staff who constantly go above and beyond to help us deliver the best services possible for the young people in our community.
Like many organisations we were hit by Covid-19 and the closure of our Youth Clubs in March 2020 and the impact of the subsequent lockdowns and restrictions on our ability to deliver open access youth work has meant a significant reduction in the participation of volunteers during the past year. We are delighted to be reforming those relationships as we move into the post-Covid era and hope that we will once more see a strong volunteer representation at our youth club sessions.
We maintain a strong safeguarding ethos, with all volunteers working with young people and staff having to complete a DBS check prior to working unsupervised with young people and a requirement that all staff complete the basic safeguarding training within 2 weeks of starting work. We also require all staff to complete a First Aid at Work course, a basic Food Hygiene course, County Lines Drugs awareness and data protection training. Both courses are also available for any volunteer workers to undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
This was another year that was significantly impacted by Covid. Whilst we saw an increase on the services offered in 2020 we were still not running the full service we would have liked and continued to explore new ways of bring young people back into our youth clubs and activities.
In total our youth work team worked with 758 different young people throughout the year, compared with 477 in 2020. Our youth work teams ran a total of 313 youth club sessions as detailed below:
| Detached Youth Work | Detached Youth Work | Centre Based Youth Clubs | Centre Based Youth Clubs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melksham | Westbury | Atworth | Melksham |
| 102 | 75 | 42 | 94 |
Our Early Help and Support service continued to develop during the year with increased demand for counselling support for young people. In 2021 we had 180 young people referred into our service compared with 48 in 2020. We also opened additional TeenTalk centres in Westbury (July 2021) and Trowbridge (October 2021).
Referrals into our service during the year were as follows:
| Melksham | Chippenham | Trowbridge | Westbury | Telephone | MS Teams |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74 | 37 | 14 | 16 | 27 | 12 |
We measure the effectiveness of our TeenTalk service by using the respected YP-CORE outcome measures. Although a clinically validated cutoff has yet to be determined for the YP CORE, a score of 11 or above on the CORE 10 indicates clinically significant distress(https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mpr.1500). In 2021 the average opening score for young people using our service has been 20.37. This figure reduces to 16.28 for those completing the short-term intervention with us.
Each young person accepted on the scheme normally receives six weekly sessions, with possibility of a limited extension of the service if required. Some of the feedback received from past service users include:
-
Helped me deal with my anxiety - Helped me grow in confidence with feeling emotions - Helped me learn about psychological aspects to my anxiety
-
Amazing service it’s helped me open up my feelings. They don’t judge me.
-
Given me a space to be open and honest. I can see dramatic changes in myself and the way I process events and respond to things. I feel so much lighter in myself and a dramatic decrease in suicidal thoughts.
-
I have felt more safe talking about my problems, and I feel like my feelings are valid
-
It has allowed me to talk to someone who had an unbiased opinion. Helped me with dealing with bad thoughts. Opening up to others as i may not have done before.
-
It has made me feel everyone isn't against me and helped me in ways I thought I couldn't be helped. The counsellor listens to me and says helpful things.
-
It is helpful and very good for help shows you how to control your anger. I've enjoyed it because the sessions are private, and I can talk about anything I want.
-
It’s helped me to recognise and find myself and unlock my true potential. It’s helped me realise that I matter.
-
To think more positively and understand that not everything is my fault. To understand and know what to do in certain situations.
In our service evaluations undertaken on completion of a course of therapy 100% of those who have used the service say they feel more listened to and understood following a course of therapy. 85% say they feel more confident and 88% say they are more positive about themselves.
As the service further develops with additional counselling staff, the charity has plans to introduce additional Early Help services in 2022 including a Headstrong Youth Club, dedicated for those who have completed a course of therapy, giving longer term support for service users and new group therapy sessions for anger management and general wellbeing.

4YOUTH (SOUTH WEST)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Fundraising
Traditionally the Charity has relied on grant funding from trusts and organisations with occasional windfall donations from individuals. We have also seized opportunities such as the token schemes offered by high street supermarkets and holding fundraising events such as Bingo Nights and our new This Is Me discos for adults with SEND.
The Charity has now adopted a new fundraising strategy that not only increases the focus on carefully targeted applications to appropriate trusts and organisations for funding but is now also introducing a more targeted scheme of attracting regular donations from a wider set of individuals, taking full advantage of the opportunities offered to increase these donations through Gift Aid.
The Charity utilizes a GDPR compliant system of storing information about any donors and does not employ any individuals to target individual donors or undertake street collections. No complaints have been received by the Charity relating to its fundraising activities.
Financial review
The charity had net loss in the year of £29,135 (2020 net income £24,666).
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year by maintaining a specific designated fund for this purpose .
As at 31 December 20 21 free reserves were £1,477 (2020: £ 2,768)
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Plans for future
The past few years have seen considerable growth for the Charity as we have adapted to meet the increasing needs of Children and Young People in the community. With the medium and long-term needs of the charity now being much clearer, the Trustees have agreed that the following key projects will be the focus of our work for the next 3 years:
-
Continued provision of positive activities for children and young people through our collection of youth clubs and school holiday activities sessions;
-
Support the mental well-being of young people through the provision of our Early Help and Support service, specifically the provision of counselling support;
-
Recognise and celebrate the successes and achievements of young people through the Melksham Young People’s Awards
-
Reach out into the community and schools through detached youthwork to provide support and guidance to those who choose not to visit The Canberra Centre
The Trustees are aware that the charity has been operating at a loss and have introduced the new Fundraising Strategy to ensure that the increased service delivery that now takes place can be fully funded in future years. It was our intention to be in a break-even position by the end of 2020. Clearly the impact of Covid has hit our future plans significantly, although for us this has resulted in additional unplanned growth and new opportunities.
The impact of the Covid-19 emergency has had a significant impact on the charity, both in terms of the services we are offering and the generation of income. Being forced to close our youth clubs has restricted our income through subscriptions and tuck shop sales but we have received a grant from Wiltshire Council from the Government funding which has helped to plug that gap.
The Trustees have also reacted proactively to the challenges of not being able to run our usual activities from The Canberra Centre and have developed a range of Detached Youth Work projects that we have obtained specific funding to help deliver. The charity has also adapted it’s Early Help service to be telephone based and introduced a new telephone support line for young people. We have been successful in obtaining a National Lottery Communities Fund grant to further develop this service.
As a result, although the Covid Emergency has forced us to adapt our services, our finances have not been significantly hit by the crisis and we are confident of emerging in a strong and financially stable position. We do not anticipate being able to reopen our “normal” youth clubs before September 2021.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
4Youth (South West) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Canberra Centre, 56a Spa Road, Melksham, Wiltshire, SN12 7NY, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure i s accounted for on an accruals basis and has been satisfied under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Assets are only capitalised if their value is more than £100.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings Not depreciated Leasehold improvements 6.6% Straight line Plant and equipment 33.33% Straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .
The leasehold asset relates to the property that the charity occupies under a long lease, to use for charitable purposes. The land and buildings are owned by Wiltshire Council but the building is occupied, improved, extended and repaired by the charity. Therefore the building meets the definition of an asset under FRS102 'substance over form' concept and the land are buildings are included on the balance sheet of the charity as a long leasehold on this basis.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity 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 in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity 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.

(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
