The trustees have reviewed the principal areas of the charity’s operations and considered the major risks faced.
In the opinion of the trustees, the charity has established resources and review systems which, under normal conditions, should allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations.
## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL REVIEW**
We are a charity dedicated to helping support young people in the community. We provide free
support and engaging activities in a youth led environment.
We understand how important it is for teenagers and young adults to have a place to go where they can find support and talk to someone that empathises with them.
Our youth centre, the only one in the area, provides a safe and welcoming space for anyone between the ages 11-19, and for people with disabilities aged up to 25.
Here, we offer accessible support alongside targeted youth work.
Through our outreach work we visit local schools and provide pop up youth clubs and services, including substance awareness sessions and sexual health clinics.
Across all our social channels, we provide a safe and inclusive space for young people to get involved and stay connected to a reliable support system
## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL RESULTS**
## **2024/2025**
## **—------**
2024/25 Staffing was consistent throughout the year and we concentrated on development and training of existing staff, upskilling in areas such as first aid, mental health first aid and suicude awareness. The new structure has worked well and enabled the Centre Manager to concentrate on governance, engagement with local community and relevant service providers. We have developed and continued positive relationships with other relevant service providers such as Cranum, CHAMS and specialist autism support.
The Positive Activities funding went out for Tender and Ourside were successful in this at the value of £31,000 per year for 3 years, with continuation subject to funding until 2029. This has provided massive financial security for the charity in terms of staff wages. Meaning we were able to reallocate reserves funding to cover core costs.
We have seen unprecedented numbers of young people attending sessions and have had to close new users to the centre to ensure adequate safeguarding and support available.
Cost of living continued to affect us with the increased running costs and cost of general expenses. The cost of day to day items and project resources means we are needing to do more with less. We were successful in several grants aimed at supporting young people along with food from Worcestershire Community Foundation (£4,647) Groundwork (£2,494).

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL RESULTS**
## **2024/2025 (continued)**
Our gender neutral toilet project was completed and has made a massive difference to the youth centre, improving the young people’s experience and also giving some extra storage space which has been used to keep all clothing donations for our quarterly take and donate sessions.
Art has also been an important part of this year with funding received from Wychavon District Council to cover sessions with 7th Pencil, it has helped young people to express themselves and put their mark on the centre.
The main income stream still remains grant funding which totalled £102,459, A proportion of this is paid in advance and therefore needs to be carried over to fund future work. for the year compared to donations of £4,521.15. We were also able to generate £2,419.61 of income through energy generation, centre hire, textile donations and electricity generated.
## **2025/26**
2025/26 we are still focussing on securing some multi year funding to replace existing multi year grants coming to an end. Our main focus is to support the continuation of YouthScape, which is a partnership fund working with other youth providers in the area through Young Solutions. Key focus areas include, food provision, outreach support, autism and targeted sessions mental and maintaining strong management and safeguarding at the centre.
The needs of young people and their families still continue to be surrounding the cost of living, so we do not foresee a change in the requirement to provide food and basic essentials to young people at sessions. Continuing the relationship between Ourside and the Droitwich Food bank means we are able to provide weekly food bags to families. The need for this has increased from a minimum of 40 to 60 per week. We will also continue to develop a stronger relationship between the parents and the youth centre to ensure we are supporting young people as best we can.
Ensuring good value for money on running costs will also continue to be a key focus for the trustees. We were successful in funding to improve the energy efficiency of the building and repair key elements which will help us to reduce running costs and increase sustainability. A next big focus is to improve the outside area, which gives us an additional space to support young people and deal with the increasing numbers.
## **INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY**
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish. The charity does not invest funds elsewhere and does not have sufficient surplus reserves at present to enter into any long-term investments.

## **INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY (continued)**
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees are aware of the requirement to review the level of reserves in line with the charity’s future plans. The charity considers its reserves on an annual basis and will regularly review the need for additional fundraising activities. Income is guaranteed under a contract with Worcestershire County Council until 31st August 2023 and a second contract with Young Solutions until August 2025and this income is treated as restricted in line with the terms of the agreement. The Garfield Weston Fund Grant of £60,000 awarded in 2018 still has £22,000 remaining and will cover any building and running costs until 2025.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
The organisation will focus on expanding the existing provisions by:
- increasing the number of services the youth centre is open;
- working with more external groups whose objects fit with those of the charity;
- improving existing provisions where possible.
- Source funding to refurbish the centre and upgrade its current facilities.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also directors of Ourside Youth Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ 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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK 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 charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by the board of trustees on 28[th] January 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF OURSIDE YOUTH ASSOCIATION**
I report on the accounts of Ourside Youth Association for the year ended 31st March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
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:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 statements 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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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 1 January 2015)
have not 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **1.3. Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Legacies, grants and donations are recognised in the accounts upon receipt. Where the receipt is designated or restricted for a special project or the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming fully entitled to it, the income is deferred until the project expenditure is incurred.
## **1.4. Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
## **1. Principal accounting policies** (continued)
## **1.8. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, on a straight-line basis, at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Fixtures and fittings 20-50% straight line Plant and equipment 10% straight line Computer equipment 50% straight line Leasehold Improvements 10% straight line
## **1.9. Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of one year or less from the date opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **1.10. Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11' Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## **Basic Financial Assets**
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
## **Basic Financial Liabilities**
Basic Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future receipts, discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of the operations from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction cost.
## **Derecognition of financial assets**
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cashflows from the asset expire or are settled.
## **Derecognition of financial liabilities**
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
