TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, (the Memorandum and Articles of Association), the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to act as a resource for children and young people, their parents and carers living in the Melksham area by providing advice and assistance, organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of;

The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit are;

4Youth (South West) has continued to deliver a range of activities for children, young people and their families including:

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

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.

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 2023

Like many organisations working with young people we have seen a continued challenge with engaging teenaged young people in a formal centre setting. However out detached youth work has continued to develop and expand with services now being delivered in Melksham, Devizes and Westbury. Our centre-based work continues in Melksham and Atworth.

Juniors clubs continue to thrive, but the numbers of older young people does demonstrate that we need to rethink how our centre based clubs are run.

The table below show the number of young people who attended our centre-based activities and the total number of attendances across all sessions.

Atworth Melksham
Juniors Clubs(ages 9-11) 23(281) 210(1753)
Seniors Clubs(Ages 11-18) 10(39) 24(122)
No Limits SEND Club(ages 13-25) 23(287) -

The table below show the number of young people where there was a “meaningful” interaction between them and our youth workers on detached youth work.

Westbury 104

Our Early Help and Support service continued to develop during the year with increased demand for counselling support for young people. In 2023 we had 367 young people referred into our service compared with 269 in 2022.

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 2023 the average opening score for young people using our service has been 20.83. This figure reduces to 16.1 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:

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. 90% say they feel more confident and 90% say they are more positive about themselves.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

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.

We were delighted to learn that we have successfully applied for National Lottery Funding and will receive the first instalment of funding from the Lottery in April 2023. This will add up to £50,000 per year for five years.

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 £22,493 (2022 net profit £12,406).

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 2023 free reserves were negative £36,062 (2022: £10,847)

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 2023

Plans for future

The last year has seen considerable growth for the Charity as we have adapted to meet the increasing needs of Children and Young People in the community. With 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.

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 2024.

Structure, governance and management

The charitable company was incorporated on 11 December 2011 and is governed under is Memorandum and Articles of Association. Charitable status was granted on 23 May 2012.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mr J B Hubbard Mr B Clover Ms N Cooper (Resigned 17 April 2024) Mr J Oatley Ms R Lee Lewis Henly-Francis (Young Trustee) (Resigned 1 January 2023) Ms B Thomas (Appointed 26 April 2023)

The charity is governed by a board of trustees who also act as Directors of the limited company. These trustees have a wide range of responsibilities, some of which are set out in the Companies Act 2006, but are mainly responsible for setting the strategic vision for the charity and deciding on major purchasing decisions or commitments.

The trustees are empowered to appoint other trustees, subject to a minimum of five but no maximum, as the charity may require for its efficient running. Formal trustee training is provided on an ad hoc basis.

The board meets at least four times a year to receive reports from the Chair and Youth Work Manager on the running of the charitable activities and discuss future plans.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

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 amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 or grantors 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.

1.5 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 is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been satisfied under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

4YOUTH (SOUTH WEST)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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.

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.

4YOUTH (SOUTH WEST)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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 payments 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.
