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 activits.es
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, race or political or other opinions, by associating
together the said inhabitants, local authority, voluntary sector and other organisations in a common
effort to provide facilities and services to advan￿ the social education, well-being and life-
experiences of the said inhabitants.
The Trustees confimi that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to
have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing
Denton Youth & Community Project's aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In
particular the Trustees considered how planned activities would contribute to the aims and
objectives.
The main objectives for the year were to work on further building upon the services already on offer
and reducing our waitlists. Our services for young people have seen a huge demand in the past two
years. Those services include the Mature Action Group for over 50's, the Lunch Club for older
people, our After School Group for ages 4-11 with staff collecting the children from local nurseries
and primary schools, three open access play and youth sessions (two junior sessions and a teens
session), a range creative and arts-based projects, holiday activity programmes, intergenerational
activities and a volunteering programme.

Achievements and perforniance
In the past year, we have engaged with 367 individuals, conducted 296 sessions, and generated
3,637 contacts. Thanks to the support of our funders, we have expanded our team and enhanced
our capacity. This growth has enabled us to reduce our waiting lists following a signrficant increase
in demand for our services and to concentrate on elevating the quality of our faCe-tO-fa￿ sessions.
We have also increased training opportunities for young people in areas such as food hygiene,
safeguarding, and first aid. while assisting our young people in their job search efforts.
This year marked the reformation of our Young Peoples Management group, which has undertaken
several impressive projects, including the creation of a sensory area for other young service users.
Many of the young individuals in our groups are neurodivergent, and they have reported that this
Spa￿ helps them to feel relaxed and secure. Additionally, the group has completed a Young
Trustees Training Course with Connected Voice, where they gained insights into the operations of
organisations like ours. The training covered topics such as the roles and responsibilities of
trustees, decision-making processes. confiict of interest, financial management, negotiation,
safeguarding. and the planning and execution of community events. cU￿ently, the group is
conducting a Community Consultation with existing service users and the broader community to
enhance our seNices and identify challenges faced by local residents.
This year, we provided 45 days of holiday activities, with over 600 spaces for young people aged 4
to 18. Our holiday programs included complimentary healthy meals to address the issue of holiday
hunger.
Financial Review
The balance sheet at 30 November 2024 shows a total fund position of £135,604. This was
represented by tangible fixed assets of £0 and net Cu￿ent assets of £135,604.
The main sources of funding are now, The Ballinger Charitable Trust, The Henry Smith
Charity, The Badur Foundation and Awards for All. We have also received support from the
Denton Ward Committee, Morrisons Foundation and a range of smaller charitable trusts. All
funds have been expended on the delivery of the key objectives of the charity and the agreed
aims of the funded body.
There are no funds invested.
The Organisation aims to hold in reserve sufficient funds to enable 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 & Community Project Limited, a company limited by guarantee, company
number 07846726 and a charity that has the same charitable objects.
Future Plans
Our immediate priority as always is to continue to try and attract substantial core funding to
secure the long-term future of the organisation and to get back to face-to-face delivery as
soon as is practicable to reduce the impact of the lockdown on people's physical and mental
well-being by encouraging as much social interaction as possible.

Independent examinerfs report to the Trustees of Denton Youth & Community
Project Limited for the year ended 30 November 2024.
I report on the financial accounts of Denton Youth & Community Project Limited for
the year ended 30 November 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustses 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 the Charities Act
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
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
prO￿dureS 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 fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examiner's statement
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.
