ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

There has been a difficult and disruptive time for the organisation, with Senior staff moving on and difficulty in employing additional staff.

Over the 12-month period 1st of August 2022 until the end of July 2023, our team of workers were involved in delivering Monday and Friday evening sessions at the Newsham Pavilion as well as delivering detached sessions in the Newsham area.

Additionally, in partnership with Silx Teen Bar Youth Project we were able to deliver a very popular Summer Playscheme over the six-week holiday and to deliver out-of-area trips and activities.

Additionary over the 12 month period, we have involved young people in football competitions, dance opportunities, representing the organisation in fun fairs etc.

In total, we delivered over 170 sessions and this included, Trips and Activities, center-based and Detached sessions as well as Easter and Summer programmes.

Over the period of 1st of August 2022 until 31st of July 2023 our statistics will indicate that we have worked with 215 individual young people aged 11 to 18 years. Who used the projects and activities 3216 times.

Our Tea and Toast Project as well as our Friday evening centre-based sessions were extremely popular and attracted 183 individual young people between them.

Our Partnership with Silx Teen Bar Youth project continued throughout the year with young people from Newsham accessing Silx Teen Bar sessions and we were able to deliver the joint Summer Playscheme as well as 10 out of the area trips and activities that allowed the integration of young people from both areas.

Summer and Easter Playschemes and Trips and Activities were additional activities with 138 young people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees of the organization are always very thankful for funding received from the variety of funding organizations that have allowed the organization to continue to deliver youth services in the Newsham area.

The organizations financial management system is in place and provides management and trustees with the necessary information to manage the finances. Information is available that allows us to plan any future expenditure.

Our total income for the year was £52,472 (2022:£14,914) of which £52,472 was restricted (2022:£14,914) and our expenditure for the year was £39,645 (2022:£26,748) of which £39,645 was restricted (2022:£26,748).

The movement of restricted funds released to unrestricted funds was £3,907 (2022: Nil).

The statement of financial activities shows a carried forward amount of £75,614 (2022:£62,787) and that includes unrestricted reserves of £12,230 (2022:£8,323) and restricted funds of £63,384 (2022:£54,464).

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees of the organisation are fully aware that in order to progress and develop the provision in the Newsham area, there is a need to increase the number of workers and to develop the current staffing team.

Employing a Senior Youth Worker is a main priority for the organisation and that has been an issue for the past year.

Developing partnerships with statutory organizations is very much part of our plans with a focus of involving young people and improving our offer of provision in relation to health and well-being.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
