Achievements and perfornjance
ove￿ieW
This year has been about enhancing the ¢hanVs infrastructtjre in preparats.on for the planned growth
over the next 2-3 years. The professionalism and development of the charity over the last 12 months
renders many aspects of our work unrecognisable from that of our formative years. However, our
values and ethos have barely shifted. We still exist, as we ahvays have. to enable young people to lead
their best lives.
We have motored towards our strategic goals of having professior¢al youth workers delivering effective
youth provision in youlh-inftuenced spa￿S in order that young ￿Ople can develop into confident
leaders and become key-players in the places where signfficant decisions are made within our
organisalion, across society and their own lives.
We have continued to create conditions where the voice of young people is at the forefront of
significant decision making across the organisation in order to maintsin the relevanGe of our work to
the youth of the day.
We have continued to make progress towards increasing our engagement across more communtties
across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast with a view to ensuring that young people's talent is reeognised -
and utilised - as they become better prepared for successful eareers.
Young People in the Swdight

in this area to support of their DofE achievements. The expedrtion section involved 3 x expeditions and
more 70km ofwalking.

Responsibili¢ios of trustees
As explained more fully in the tnjstees. responsibilrb'es statement. the trustees (who a￿ also the
ireclors for the purposes of company lawl 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 Iruslees detennine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable. matters related to 90ing concern and using the
going concem basis of accounb'ng unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or lo cease
operations, or have no realistic aftemative but to do so.
Audltovs responslbllltles for the audlt of the financial statements
Our objectwes 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'$ 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 aN¥ays delect a rnalerial misstatement when il
exisls. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonabty be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Irregulanlies, including fraud. are instances of norrfompliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line wlh our responsibilrties, ouuined atK>ve, to detect material misslalements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our pr(￿edureS are capable of detecting
irwularities. including fraud is detai￿ below=
Based on our understanding of the charitsble company we considered those laws and regulatFons that
have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006,
Charities SORP, tsxation and other legislation relevant lo the sector. We evaluated management's
ineenlives and opportUn￿eS for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements lincluding the risk
of override of conlrolsl and determined thal the principal risks were related to management bias in
a¢¢ounling estimates and judgemental areas of the financial ststements such as revenue recognition.
We addressed this by our work on areas included, but were not limrted to, anatyb'cal procedures,
testing of journals, assessment of judgements and estimates, enquiry and testing of controls etc.
As part of an audit in 2ccordance with ISAS (UK), we exer¢ise profess¢onal judgment and maintain
professional sceplicism throughout the audit. We also".
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perfomi audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a materi21 misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, mtsrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevanl to the audit in order to design audtt
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the intemal control.

legacy inwme is fecognised when ￿elpt is probable and entitlernent is estsblished.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to measure reliably. in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor
or the estimated resale value. Donated faciltt5es and serv￿$ are recogni5ed in the a¢counts

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently ststed at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and impaimient losses. Any tangible assets carried al revalued
amounts are ￿e0rded at the fair value at the date of revaluatson less any subsequent
accumulated depreCIat￿n and subsequent accumulated impaiment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a resutt of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless r( reverses a charge for impairment that has previousty been
recognised as expenditure wthin the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation. is reccKJnised in other rewJnised gains and losses.
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain. in wh￿h case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains an¢J losses on the statement of financial aCtiv￿es.
D•pro¢iation
Depreciation is calculated so as to WTite off the cost or valuation ot an asset, less Its residual
value, over the useful economic lrfe of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fitting5
Leasehold property
improvements
25°A Straight line
15.fi reducing balar￿e
Depreciation is not provided for on Freehold knd and bu]k￿[ng¥ as they were pur¢hased at below
market value and it is the charitys policy to maintain this 8sset in a continued state of sound
repair wrth improvements. Accordingly the ￿SidUal value is high and economic life $0 long that
any depreciation is inS￿nIfiCant
lrnpairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impaiment is caThied out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimaled where such indicators exist. Where the Carr￿ng value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingty. Prior impaimients are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting dale.
For the purposes of impaimienl testing. vthen rt is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an ests.mate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the
cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For ￿nPalm7enI testing of gt￿dWIl1. the goodwill acquired in a business ttjmbination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the eash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synerg￿8 of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the ehanty
are assigned to those units.

Current assets and ¢urrent liabilities are subsequenuy measured at the cash or other
¢on5ideration eXP￿ted to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequenuy measured at amortised cost
Where investrnents in shares are publicty traded or their fair value can othe￿iSe be measurecl
reliably. the investment is subsequenvy measured at fair value wth changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. Al other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impaimenL
Other financial instruments, including derivatives. are initsally recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond nornial business temis or financed al a rate of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a markel rate of interest for a similar debl instrumenL
Other financial instruments are subsequentty measured at fair value, with any changes
recognised in the statement of financial actsvitres, with the exceptson of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objeclNe evKJence
of impairment at the end of each reporbng date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instNments regardless of signrficance, and other financial assets that are
individually significant. these are assessed indmdually for impairment Other financial assets are
