The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It is operated under the rules of its
memorandum and articles of association dated 10th July 2013.

Bardsley Youth Project
Chair's report for the year ended 30th September 2025
Bardsley's work has evolved over 20 years now, we have been a Registered Charity
over the last twelve of these years. The focus of our charity is homelessness and the
prevention of homelessness in the 16 - 25 age group.
Demand for Our Services - The number of interactions with most young people has
remained constant but there has been a large surge in asylum seekers needing help.
Young people helped to September 2025 was 161, 89 of whom were new to us. 43
needed help for four months or more. Many of the young people we assisted were
unable to obtain help from any other sour￿.
Our Staff- We thank all of our staff, Simon, Kim, Becky and Rachel for a year of
dedicated, full and very caring serrfice to our young people, and Pat our Administrator
and Fund Raiser for a highly suc￿Ssful year. Thank you to Reaching Communities for
your grants toward salaries currently giving our staff some security of tenure going
fop¥vard.
Our Fundin
Bodies- I would like to thank all our funding bodies - National Lottery
Reaching Communities Fund, Lloyds Foundation of England and Wales, Henry Smith
Charity, as well as individual and corporate donors for the financial support that made
our activities possible.
Our Bi
Dream - Our dream of a fit for purpose facility to Servi￿ the needs of young
people remains with us. but the funds to do it at this point of time don't. We dream on.
Our Trustees - Thanks to our dedicated Team. Steve, Dexter. Jan, Julia and John for
devoting so much of your busy lives to helping our homeless young people so caringly
and well. Steve left us at the end of the year to take up a very demanding employed
position, so thank you Steve for your years of Servi￿ and all the best for your future.
Thank you John for stepping up to join us mid-year, your Presen￿ has already been
positive. We are actively looking for additional Trustees to complement our existing skills
and share the load.
ort - I thank all who supported our charity in many ways including our voluntary
workers and Coventry Cathedral who give us the free use and Maintenan￿ of our base
at Bardsley House. Thank you too to Warwick Events who have supported us and our
staff in so many ways with funding and mentoring. Approved funding from several Grant
Funders will cover a substantial part of our operating costs for the next three years. We
have been working to replace Grant income with income from local businesses and
other sources and this is increasing.
We look forward to serving the young people who need us for many years to come.

Trustees Report
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The Constitution requires that the number of Trustees shall not be less than 3. At the end of
September 2025 there were 5 Trustees.
Organisational Structure
The Trustees form a committee including the following officers: Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
It meets bimonthly. The commrttee has overall responsibility for strategic planning, policy
formulation, approval and monitoring of programmes and servI￿s, finance. risk management,
staff and volunteers, and premises.
Staff and volunteers
Bardsley Youth Project has staff and volunteers.
The charity's policy on reserves
The charity will aim to keep between three and six months, core running costs in reserves at all
times. This is to ensure the Charity is able to meet all of its legal obligations should all funding
be withdrawn.
Exemptions
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemptions available to small companies. including
the audit exemption (see statement on balan￿ sheet).
Responsibilities of the trustees
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 charity at the end of the year and of the
surplus or deficiency for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting
policies, as described on page 8, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making
judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The members of the Committee
must also prepare the financial statements on the going con￿rn basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with
reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity. and enable them to ensure
that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for
the prevention and detection of fraud or other i￿egUla￿ties.
Small company provisions:
This report has been prepared in accordan￿ with the special provisions for small companies
under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Bardsley Youth Project
Year ended 30th September 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this period under section 145(1 } of the Charities Act 2011
(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audrt under company law and is
eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibiltty to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity
Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act,. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ 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 con￿MIng 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 fair view,
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
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 2011 Act. and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.
