Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is governed by articles of association agreed and adopted on the 10 September 2012
and is a Company Limited by Guarantee.
The Charity was previously registered as Denton Young People Project (charity number 1093104)
on 20 December 2000 and changed its name to better reflect the nature of the work of the project.
Objectives and actlvltles
The main objectives of the charity are to promote the benefits of the inhabitants of Denton and the
surrounding areas in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne (hereinafter called the 'the community,),
without the distinction of sex, sexual orientation, ra￿ or political or other opinions, by associating
together the said inhabitants, local authorily, voluntary sector and other organisations in a wmmon
effort to provide facilities and seNices to advance the social education. well-being and life-
experiences of the said inhabitants.
The Trustees ¢onfiryn that they have complied with the duty in se¢tion 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to
have due regard to the Charily Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing
Denton Youth & Community Project's aims and objectives and in planning the future activilies. In
particular the Trustees considered how planned adivities would contribute lo the aims and
objectives.
The main objectives for the year were to continue and build upon the serVi￿S already on offer.
Those services include the Mature Action Group for over 50,$, our After School Group for under 6,5
with staff collecting the Children from local nurseries and primary schools, three open access play
and youth sessions, single gender work, a range creative and arts based projects, holiday activity
programmes and drop-in facilities for information and guidance along with sexual hea￿h support.
In addition there were also sessions lo improve health and frtness (Children and adults}, dance,
keep fiuexercise sessions, intergenerational work, older people's luncheon club and outings.

Achlevements and performance
Over the past year we have engaged with 316 individuals, delivered 210 sessions that generated
2,724 contacts. Although on initial inspection these numbers are slightly down on the previous year
it is as a result of fully reverting back to face-to-face delivery away from on-line and activity pack
deliveries and as such doesnl rèally reflect the continuing increase in demand for services
combined with our limited capacity due to the poor responses to recruitment, which is a sector wide
issue.
Our partnership project with New Writing North 8nd our Mature Action Group came to a fruitful end
(with the reminiscences of group members being filmed and compiled together into a charming
short film, soon to be available to Vk8w on our website wwvo d
.), that fomied part of NWN'S
wider project "Remembered West".
Financlal revlew
The balance sheet at 30 November 2023 shows a total fund position of £123,631. This was
repres8nled by langible fixed assets of £0 and net Current assets of £123,631
Th8 main sources offunding are now from our thrèe main funders of the rnost rec8nt of
whom is the Henry Smith Charity over three years, The Ballinger Charitable Trust and The
LGA Foundation as well as the Denton Ward Committee and a range of smaller charitabl8
trusts. All funds have been expended on the delivery of Ihe key objectives of the charity and
the agreed aims of Ihe funded body.
There are no funds invested.
The Organisalion aims to hold In ￿SerVe sufficient funds to enabl8 an orderly wind down,
including the payment of all liabilities.
On 30 November 2013, all assets and liabilities of the unincorporated charity were
transferred to Denton Youth & Communily Projed Limited, a company limited by guarantee.
company number 07846726 and a charity that has the sam8 charitable objects.
Future Plans
Securing three years core funding from the Henry Smith Charity has brought us a period of stability
that was much needed for the project so that we can focus on all of the other areas of the work
such as recruiting extra slaff to increase our capacity to expand numbers on sessions and reduce
wailing list$ and allowing us to make some major improvements to fLrture proof the building. We
have made a start on converting all of the lighting from the old fluorescent lube type units to LED
unils that only use 300h of the energy needed lo power the old ones, this should help to reduce our
electricity costs and contribute to a reduclion in our carbon footprint. We are looking for funding
sources to upgrade the old metal windows and cast iron heating system to further reduce energy
Costs whilst adding to the thermal efficiency and aeslhetic look of the buikling.

Independent examinerfs report to the Trustees of Denton Youth & Community
Project Limited for the year ended 30 November 2023.
I report on the financial accounts of Denton Youth & Community Project Limited for
the year ended 30 November 2023
Respective responsibilities of tru8tee8 and examiner.
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period under Section 144 of
the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is
needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the
Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of Ihe Charities Act
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Bas18 of independent examinar's statsment
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with general directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records
kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts
and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a
'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examln•r'$ ststement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material
respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the
Charities Act.,
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have
been met., or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to
enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
