Young People Count Independent Examiners Report Chairperson’s Report 2022 – 2023
Gerry Wareham
This year the priority for the Trustees has been financial consolidation. All of the many and important aims of ‘ Young People Count’ are dependent upon the organisation having a solid foundation. As a charity we rely upon various sources of income, principally grants and donations, many of which are short term. The Trustees are adamant we do not want to charge for the services we provide, as we are determined to ensure we are available to all, which makes ensuring we attract the funding we need all the more vital.
I am pleased to be able to report that this focus on finances has proved effective. We took the decision to invest in developing and supporting Katherine, our youth worker and business manager, in her work in seeking grants. She has been incredibly successful in identifying relevant funding sources and showcasing our services in such a manner as to attract the grant funding we need, and our Young People deserve. At the same time, we have been fortunate in attracting regular support from individual donors to the extent that we now also have a solid income stream we can rely upon. This means we have been able to establish a small contingency fund so that the Trustees can be assured we can meet our regular obligations in the medium term, and more confident we can navigate any troughs in our grant income.
Throughout all this we have not neglected our real aims, providing a safe and secure location for the Young People in our community and helping them in their development any way we can. We are able to offer them a safe place to go four evenings a week, one where they can meet with their peers with appropriate supervision, comfort and support. We have maintained the premises and updated some of the facilities and have great plans going forward. We will be looking to increase our membership and in particular seek to attract more youths in the 15-18 years bracket, and we are developing a programme of activities specifically targeted at them. We also hope to be able to offer even more support and opportunity for all our Young People, through even more regular supervised activities, access to I.T. and facilities and services such as counselling.
The charity is becoming more established and recognised within the community and has been the beneficiary of support from other local organisations as our work becomes more widely known. We are keen to work with other charities and organisations and to that end have established strong relationships which will be of great value to us, and will expose our Young People to the diverse opportunities they have to support their community.
Gerry Wareham, 1 November 2023 Chair of Trustees, Young People Count, Pocklington.
Young People Count Independent Examiners Report To The Board of Trustees of Young People Count
I report to the board of trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Young People Count (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the board of trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2 The financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3 The financial statements 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.
I have no concerns and 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 financial statements to be reached.
