The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objective Activities The Newsham and New Delaval Mission statement is the following.. "To help young people, especially, bul not exclusively through leisure lime activities, so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of the society, This will be achieved by providing the young people of the area with a provision that consists of recreational and educational activities and encourages social integration within their comrrunity. Public benefit Statement The Trustees like always refer to the Charity's Commission's guidance on public benefit. Our annual report will aim to demonstrate the link between the organizations charitable activities and the benefit the young people gain from our offer of youth provision. Grantmaking policy The charity does not give out grants and has no grant making policy. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The period from the 1 st of August 2024 until the 31 st of July 2025 has been a time of transition for the charity. The Trustees were able to successfully recruit some new members of staff, who came with a great deal of youlh work experience and enthusiasm. The staffing issues which occurred during the previous twelve months were therefore successfully resolved. The quality of the staff available enabled an improvement and variety in the activities offered. A new trustee was recruited during the year, which strengthened the knowledge and experience of the management committee. Issues related to disorder and anti-social behaviours in the area were less than in the previous year, allhough there were some ongoing problems with a group of young people. Support from the local police and other agencies assisted in keeping the provision open. In total, we delivered 117 sessions over the twelve months which included a six-week Summer Programme of activities and trips and other additional activities. Our Monday Tea and Toast session and our Friday evening session continued to be very popular. Due to the staff recruitment, more detached work was carried out and the continued need for youth workers to be present on the street was evident. In total 162 individual young people plus an estimated 50 additional young people, making the total number of individual young people 212 used the facilities attending 2424 times. During sessions, young people were provided with opportunities to learn and participate in sessions delivered by organisations and including Northumbria Police, Pride Action North, The Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service, Sorted, Barclays Bank and Local sports coaches. We worked closely with Bede Academy which increased the support for young people in need. Page 1
Newsham and New Delaval Youth Forum ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 Jul 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW The Trustees of the charity are fully aware of the need for the organisation to have a financial management system that allows the monitoring and management of funds. Currently, through the Treasurer, there is a monthly report on all income and expenditure and this allows the management team to be aware of the financial needs of the youth provision. The submission of funding applications continues to be a main priority for the organisation. Although we have had a satisfactory year as far as funding is concerned, the continuous increase in cost of living expenditure, as well as increased staffing costs have resulted in increased pressure to raise additional funds. Our total income for the year was £66,499 {2024'. £68,.350) of which £66,499 was restricted12024'. £66,350) and our expenditure for the year was £65,116 compared to12024.' £55,578) of which £64,516 was restricted (2024. £55,360>.

FUTURE PLANS The Trustees are fully aware that the next 12 months will be vital to the continuation of the Newsham and New Delaval Youth Forum.
