Strategic Report for tlie Year Ended 31 August 2024
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the
year ended 31 August 2024, in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.
Achievements and performance
Once again the year has seen significant turnover of Trustees and our thanks go out to everyone who
has generously given their tiine to assist. New faces come and go, but the vital thing is that the
Charity continues, and the conimunity retains a vital asset which supports, nourishes and protects its
young people.
Katherine, our Project Manager, has provided essential continuity and direction. Her role has adapted
to focus on oversight and vital fundraising, as she has largely been working remotely due to change in
personal circumstances, but her experience and knowledge has remained invaluable. She has been
supported by Ellie as Youth and Volunteer Leader, managing the many and varied activities and
programmes for the Young People.
Throughout the year we have hosted 178 Young visitors, many of them coming regularly so that there
have been nearly 3000 overall attendances. This is overseen by Ellie and the team of around 30
volunteers who support and supervise the activities. These activities include regular cooking sessions,
which enable young people to gain invaluable experience and confidence in creating healthy meals
and preparing them for an independent life. We also have regular craft classes, sports evenings,
competitions and quizzes, indoor games and more. We are also proud to be able to provide
professional counselling sessions for those who need particular assistance.
All of this can only continue with sufficient funding. We are extremely grateful for and careful with the
donations and limited grants we receive. Of the monies coming in 97% went on core costs which
directly impact and benefit the young people we serve. The remaining 3 % went towards volunteer
training, development and retention. Our volunteers are absolutely vital and without them we could not
continue, and they have our profound thanks and appreciation for all the time and energy they give
freely.
Securing the necessary funding is always a struggle and Katherine does excellent work in that regard,
but it is getting ever harder. We need the continued support of the local community, through
individuals, giving their valuable time and donations, and other charities and organisations assisting
as they can. For instance, the Red Sky Ukulele group based in Pocklington have this year given to
YPC all the monies they have raised from their perforniances. This is a wonderful example of the
community supporting itself. There is no alternative similar organisation to YPC in Pocklington able to
offer general support and safe recreation for our young people.
Tlie supported Youth Clubs many of us grew up with have disappeared, and if YPC cannot get the
support it needs to continue, we will not be providing our young with the same services we enjoyed,
and that would be a real shame and to the detriment of our community and society.

2 Accouiiting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard

Page 9

Young People Count
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2024
Income and endowments
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is
probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to
the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot
be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the
use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the
spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those
incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities
and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities
and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis
consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per
capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010
and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains
received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section
256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are
applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in
furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the
use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Page 10

Young People Count
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2024
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument,
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction
costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are
initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs),
unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing
transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only
when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all
of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained
some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to
another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expires.
