**DENTON YOUTH & COMMUNITY PROJECT LIMITED** (A company limited by guarantee)
**TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT (including Director’s report)** For the year ended 30 November 2025
The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustee’s report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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) (effective October 2019)
## **1. Objectives and Activities**
The 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. The charity is fully inclusive, and everyone is valued as an individual without the distinction of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, age, race or religion. Bringing together local residents, public authorities, voluntary groups, and other organisations to work collaboratively in providing facilities and services that promote social education, well-being, and life experiences for the community.
The Trustees confirm 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.
One of the main objectives for the year was to carry out a community consultation to assess our impact, reflect on our current services and help us plan our provision going forward. The results of the consultation showed that:
We are providing essential, affordable services that residents feel are improving the wellbeing of people in the area.
We need to reach out to BME residents and make connections/offer our services as the response from this section of the community to our survey was low.
The number of elderly residents we currently support has decreased, so the charity will look at how to engage this age group more going forward.
The project has success with continuity of users – many young people start accessing groups from age 5 and stay throughout their teenage years.
Adults trust DYCP to deliver safe, high-quality services.

**Young Peoples Management Group carrying out their Community Consultation in West Denton**
In 2025 we increased the number of sessional workers and volunteers to help us to increase our capacity and reduce waitlists. We succeeded in getting our waitlists down and delivered high quality provision with a lunch club for the elderly, three junior sessions per week, a weekly session for teens, intergenerational events, a volunteer programme, young people’s management group, 25[th] birthday celebrations and school holiday programmes. Going into 2026, the demand for our services is increasing once again. We will look to add extra provision for young people and increase the number of spaces available at our current sessions to meet the needs of the community.

## **2. Public Benefit Statement**
Our project exists to provide meaningful, inclusive and accessible opportunities that benefit young people and the wider community. We are committed to promoting personal development, supporting members to reach their goals and improve both physical and mental wellbeing.
We deliver provision to inspire and support children, young people and their families to achieve their full potential. The project seeks to empower participants to raise their self-esteem, confidence and aspirations. Our staff aim to act as positive role models for children and young people and support them through those challenging and turbulent transitional years by offering access to fun, challenging and educational experiences. We aim to contribute to the reduction of instances of loneliness and isolation, particularly for our most elderly members.
In addition to supporting individual growth, our project strengthens the wider community by fostering positive relationships, encouraging civic engagement, creating safe spaces where people can connect and collaborate. We actively engage with local partners and families to ensure our work responds to genuine community needs and to ensure our activities remain effective, inclusive, and aligned with our mission.

Our Young Peoples Management Group reformed last year, and have undertaken some impressive projects:
Planning and delivery of a community event to celebrate the charity’s 25[th] anniversary, which was attended by 150 local residents.
Continued work on a sensory/quiet space at the project to help us better support neurodivergent young people.
Carried out a social action project to provide financial relief to 20 families during the festive period with supermarket vouchers, provided hygiene packs to a local organisations working with foodbank users, refugees and the elderly and lastly made connections with a newly opened children's home to provide craft, games and sports equipment to help them settle in/feel welcome to the area.
A successful funding application to Newcastle Youth Fund to expand our provision in 2026 for young people aged 13-19. The additional session will fund a year's worth of provision helping to improve mental health and providing SEND friendly events.
Making improvements and re-decorating the building to make our space more welcoming and comfortable
The Young Peoples Management Group have inspired many of their younger peers to follow in their footsteps. In 2026 we will start up Mini Volunteers for young people aged 8-11 to learn leadership, communication, teamwork, planning and budgeting skills.

## **6. Achievements and Performance**
In the past year, we have engaged with 427 individuals, conducted 349 sessions, and generated 5,708 contacts. Thanks to continued support from our funders, we have reduced our waitlists whilst still offering high quality support.
This year, we provided 40 days of holiday activities, with over 650 spaces for young people aged 5 to 18. Our holiday programs included complimentary healthy meals to address the issue of holiday hunger. We carried out 3 residential activities during school holidays in this period and saw the benefits it can have for young people. Residentials are vital for staff and young people to build trusting relationships and provide essential learning opportunities. Going into the next year, we hope to expand our residential offerings.
Some highlights from our year:
Social Action Project to provide support to 250 residents.
Training with West End Refugee Service (WERS) to provide a myth busting course to 30 young people aged 11-18.
Improving relationships with local councillors and MPs at senior youth sessions.
Intergenerational Event for young people and their grandparents. This led to recruitment of new members to the lunch club.
Increase in numbers at our sessions for older people.
Autism/ADHD Awareness training for all staff and volunteers to help us better support the growing numbers of SEND young people at our sessions.
Improvements to our building to make it a safer, more welcoming and inclusive space.
Local business Blaydon Bathrooms raised vital funds for DYCP with their annual Charity Golf Day Recruitment of two new trustees.
Confirmation of funding to allow us to expand our provision for SEND young people aged 13-19. Celebrating our 25[th] Anniversary with 150 project users (new and old).
User led Community Consultation to help us shape our services for the next few years and ensure we continue to deliver high quality, useful support.
New CRM system to improve our monitoring and evaluation.

**Happy Campers 25 years of DYCP!**
## **7. Fundraising**
Our immediate priority, as ever, is to secure substantial core funding to ensure the long-term sustainability of the organisation. While our fundraising efforts to support programme activity have been highly successful this year, generating income for core operational costs has remained a significant challenge over recent years.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our funders for their continued support, as well as for the invaluable guidance and advice they have provided. Their contributions have been instrumental in enabling DYCP to continue its work throughout 2024/2025, marking our 25th anniversary year.
## **8. Investments – not applicable**
## **9. Financial review**
## **Review of the year**
The results for the year and the company's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
During the year the Charity had income of £116,301 (2024: £162,798) of which £93,095 was restricted (2024: £154,768) and expenditure of £125,273 (2024: £150,825) of which £92,691 was restricted (2024: £142,071). There was an operating deficit of £8,972 (2024: surplus of £11,973) of which a deficit of £99,195 was restricted (2024: surplus of £9,583).
At 30 November 2025 the Charity had net assets of £126,632 (2024: £135,604) of which £35,909 was restricted (2024: £135,104).
## **Reserves policy/No reserves/Going concern**
The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £90,723 (2024: £500), prudent for the Charity at this time taking into account potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.

## **10. Risk Management**
The Board is responsible for the management of the risks to which the Charity is exposed. A risk register is produced which considers financial, governance and delivery risks.
For each risk, the register identifies:
- Initial risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood
- Initial risk rating
- Counter measures
- Responsibility / ownership
- Timescale
- Amended risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood.
- Amended risk rating.
The Board reviews the risk register throughout the year. Through the counter measures put in place in the risk register and the regular reviews and updates, the Board is satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated. It is recognised that this approach can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
## **11. Plans for future periods**
## Main areas of focus for next 12 months:
Continue our efforts to attract substantial core funding to secure our long-term future as an organisation.
Continue the good work with our Young Peoples Management Group and start up an equivalent group for young people aged 8-11.
Continue to improve our services for SEND young people with additional training and targeted sessions.
Continue to expand our services for older people.
To improve our outdoor space and host community events to expand our reach and support more local residents

## **14. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities**
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
-
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
For the year ended 30 November 2025
I report on the financial statements of Denton Youth & Community Project Limited for the year ended 30 November 2025, which are set out on pages 10 to 19.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance 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 examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
- h the accounts do not accord with such records; or
- h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I�have�come�across�no�other�matters�in�connection�with�the�examination�to�which�attention�should�be�drawn�in�this� report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £90,723 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year.

## 3 **Income**

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## 4.2 **Charitable activities**
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of work and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
