Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The organisation is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17th September 2008 and took over the assets and liabilities of the unincorporated charity, Just Another Dance Event, with effect from 1st July 2009. The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each. The company has applied for charitable status with The Charity Commission and this was granted on 12th September 2013. On the 1st of November 2017 the organisation changed its name to JADE Youth & Community Limited as reflected in the updated governing document.

Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee

Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting held every year.

The trustees (who are directors for the purpose of company law) who served during the year are as follows:

Martin Schofield (chair) Lee Collins (vice chair) David Oldroyd Rachel Veitch-Straw Billy Shaw

Trustee Induction and Training

JADE Youth & Community has an experienced group of trustees. All trustees receive an induction into their role by the Manager including training and development opportunities which include sessions around procurement and commissioning, safeguarding & safer recruitment, strategy and change management and financial management and controls. New trustees are provided with guidance from the charity commission such as CC3 The Essential Trustee, CC3a What's Involved and CC25 Charity Finances - Trustee essentials.

Risk Management

The management committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the company is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the company faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which is allowing for the diversification of funding and activities. This plan was renewed in 2018 and the trustees and manager worked with an external consultant to develop a new five year strategy. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures and audits are in place to ensure compliance with legislation in relation to the safeguarding and health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

Summary

Over the last year we have continued to grow and develop our offer, whilst successfully supporting children, young people, families and the wider community to overcome many of the disadvantages they face, lead healthier, safer and happier lives, and grow to reach their full potential. Over the last reporting period we have supported 545 individuals, who have created 6269 attendances to our activities and reported a wide range of positive outcomes.

We have worked through our open access youth provisions to provide a diverse offer of positive activities, education and learning, social opportunities, issue based youth work and targeted support to ensure our children and young people have an enjoyable and accessible offer of activities that builds their skills, confidence and self-esteem, alongside fostering positive relationships with professional youth workers and counsellors who are able to support them with the issues and challenges they face. We have supported a broad demographic of young people through our Senior, Junior, SEND & LGBTQ open access groups.

Through our alternative education provision, we have worked with young people from across the borough who are unable to access mainstream education due to their levels of need. Many are looked after children, have additional needs, have social care involvement, and as such face a range of challenges. We have supported them through our youth work and counselling team to address their barriers to education and their individual needs, whilst engaging them in accredited learning through our NOCN functional skills, Math’s, English and personal development programs of learning. As a result of this we have seen many young people safeguarded from harm, achieve qualifications, re-engage with education and go on to be happy, confident young people who are ready to leave our provision with the skills they need to succeed.

We have further developed our counselling and mental health offer in partnership with young people to address the huge void in mental health support for children and young people. Young people have helped shape the offer to ensure our approach is nonclinical and community based, child focused, flexible and responsive to need. This has been a huge success from the start, we are currently seeing significant demand for this service, and as such we are looking at plans to scale our support through taking on student counsellors, this will provide placements for university students in their final year and allow us to scale up our support to meet demand. We recently featured in a SKY News article which highlighted the need for such services as below (Please Click and Watch): Inside 'mental health bank' helping children in 'crisis' | UK News | Sky News

Our community continues to face significant disadvantages, with challenges such as the cost-of-living crisis impacting on those who are most vulnerable, and who already face a range of challenges, and as such have multiple and complex needs. Our services have become a lifeline for many, with the positive and meaningful relationships we build with our families and community acting as a platform to target support. We recognize that many of the issues our families face are complex and interconnected spanning issues such as poverty, employment, safeguarding, mental health, parenting, youth, addiction, offending, family breakdown, bereavement, housing amongst many other key issues that create significant disadvantages. To address this, we have continued to grow our offer to holistically meet these needs, through our open access youth provisions, social events and trips, alternative education provision, counselling, mental health offer and whole family support.

We have recently employed a new staff member who is a qualified and registered social worker, we have taken social investment from KeyFund and developed a new modular building on site, and we are in the process of launching our family hub service. This will enable us to increase our support for parents, families and young people with a diverse offer, some brief examples include. parenting courses, support navigating services, securing Educational Health Care plans, school refusal support and support for EOTAS children and families (Educated Other Than at School), cost of living support, housing, amongst many other issues that our families face. As with our other services this will be delivered in a way that works for our community, through our non-statutory offer, building upon our strong and positive relationships and working in partnership with our families and communities as opposed to delivering services to them.

Many of our young people and family’s access all, or multiple services we provide, ensuring we can holistically meet their needs, whilst providing enjoyable social, learning and creative opportunities that bring our community together. All our beneficiaries have enjoyed a diverse range of activities, some brief examples include trips to the seaside, arts projects, stop motion filming, music production, dance, drama, outdoor adventure activities, seasonal activities such as Halloween crafts and parties, wreath making, Easter crafts, popcorn and film nights, parents bingo sessions amongst many other social activities that bring our community together, bring joy and laughter and support engagement in our wider services. Activities

Senior youth club x 2 per week

Our open access senior youth provision has continued to support a significant number of disadvantaged young people from our community. Providing positive activities that they value and enjoy such as boxing, music production, food and drink, arts and crafts, gym sessions and personal training, games consoles, sports amongst many other activities that help our young people build relationships with our staff team, develop skills, and grow their confidence and self-esteem. Our positive activities are delivered alongside a curriculum of topic-based youth work that covers many of the social and personal issues our young people face, helping them to develop skills to navigate their often-complex lives.

These sessions continue to build long-term relationships with young people, enabling us to identify need and target further support and engagement through our family hub, counselling, alternative education provision and wrap around care support. This has enabled us to work across all areas of young people’s lives, such as community, social groups, education and family to affect meaningful change that enables them to live happier, safer and healthier lives.

‘My boy has been through so much and I just didn’t know where to go and was getting no help. Nobody listened or cared. When he’s been to counselling at jade that changed and his confidence has got good. He is happier and every time he sees the counsellor he gets a bit better.’ (Attempted suicide / depression / personality disorder) parent of J male age 15

Junior Youth Club x2 per week

Our junior groups are very busy, noisy and colorful, from den building, baking, sports, games and dance to painting and drawing, popcorn and film nights to Halloween, Christmas and easter parties and activities, our Juniors and parents value and enjoy their junior youth club sessions. Alongside providing positive activities that help our juniors grow and develop personally, cognitively and socially, our sessions act as a safety net for vulnerable families, taking an early intervention approach to targeting support around a range of issues such as safeguarding, parenting, poverty, managing behavior, supporting young people with additional needs, securing educational health care plans amongst many other issues we support children and parents with. We work with a wide range of partners to provide a diverse offer that supports our children to engage in activities they would otherwise not have the opportunity to engage in, and we ensure children from our community who face significant disadvantages have the support in place to grow and thrive.

Special educational needs and disabilities youth club x 1 per week

Our Children, young people and families SEND group fills a significant gap in provision for SEND children and families. We provide a diverse range of positive activities that are adapted to suit our SEND children’s needs, examples include quiet spaces, friendly access spaces, our sensory room and community garden. We provide many of the activities that young people enjoy in our other youth work sessions but ensure this is delivered in a way that ensures access and participation for our SEND families. We ask parents and carers to attend due to the high level of personal care some children require, however this has also helped create a network of support for our parents who have begun to meet outside of our sessions for various events, this significantly lowers their isolation as SEND parents and enables them to share their experiences with others who face similar challenges.

You have done so much for me I don’t know where to start. You have helped me and my mum through thick and thin and we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for you. For all the help you gave us. Thankyou!” M, young person.

Transition Group x2 per week at the end of the school year

We recognized that our junior school leavers needed support to transition into our senior youth provisions. To support this, we ran a 2- month transition group twice a week, supporting year 6 leavers to mix with some of our younger senior members and grow their confidence to transition into our senior group. This has been hugely successful in ensuring we retain young people who are transitioning to secondary school and has supported us to ensure we continue to see strong attendance to our senior sessions. Young people have also told us this has really helped their transition into secondary school as they have new friends from years 8 and 9 which they have met through our offer, ensuring a smooth transition to both our senior group and their secondary school.

LGBTQ group x1 per week

Our LGBTQ group has provided a safe and enjoyable space for our LGBTQ young people. As with most of our groups, young people have played a significant role in designing and developing their offer. There are few groups available that cater specifically for LGBTQ young people, however the young people who attend felt that most groups focus too heavily on LGBTQ issues, history and learning as opposed to providing a safe and welcoming space with activities they enjoy. As such, our young people access a wide range of activities they enjoy, from rock climbing in the peak district, to art projects and music production. Many of the groups struggle with their mental health, and a significant proportion have conflict at home with parents around their identity, as such we target a lot of support through our youth work team and counselling support which helps our young people to overcome these challenges.

Alternative education provision x 4 per week

Our alternative education provision continues to fill a significant void for young people who are unable to engage in mainstream education. We take referrals from schools, social care, virtual schools (looked after young people) and the local authority. Many of the young people who attend also access our evening youth provisions and counselling ensuring seamless support. We take a trauma informed approach that addresses the barriers young people face to education.

We provide an accredited NOCN Math’s and English offer which supports young people to achieve qualifications, this ensures they secure the needed qualifications for college courses despite not been in school, we work with parents, social care and school to support transition back into education, we provide life skills such as budgeting, cooking, managing relationships, personal and social development, and we support our young people to build the skills and confidence to leave our offer with belief in themselves and the ability to engage and achieve. As with all our sessions we provide a wide range of positive activities that young people enjoy, build their confidence and self-esteem and support our staff to build positive and meaningful relationships.

Adults’ disability group x1 per week

We have supported a weekly adults disability group, which was formed following the closure of the group’s Centre, leaving them without a space to meet, socialize and access support. The group make full use of our facilities such as our sensory room, pool tables, games consoles, kitchen, and enjoy activities such as arts and crafts, baking, use of our community garden and having an appropriate environment to socialize in with supportive staff. The group supports disabled adults from our community to come together, socialize, access activities they enjoy and access support This reduces their isolation, improves their mental and physical health, and is a vital service to ensure they are connected and supported within the community.

Counselling x 5 days per week

Our counselling offer has continued to be in high demand, providing a nonclinical, young person focused approach, that is flexible and responsive to need. We utilize a range of alternative approaches alongside traditional face to face counselling, such as play therapies, walks in the community with a therapy dog, arts and crafts, sports and other activities that remove barriers, and support young people to engage. Earlier this year we featured in a SKY News article that ran on the main headlines for 24 hours, alongside specialist politics slots that promoted the issues young people face around accessing mental health support. The service continues to be shaped by young people and parents, works across all our provisions and the wider community, and meets a vital need for young people who are often in crisis and can’t access support elsewhere.

“CAHMS waiting times are so long and we just didn’t know where to turn, until we found the counselling service at Jade! Our daughter has not only sat her exams but is now confident to move onto college. Thank you we will be forever grateful.”

Cost of living support

Our families continue to be significantly impacted by the cost-of-living crisis, to address this we have provided a wide range of support from helping secure support services, benefits advice, to food parcels, supermarket vouchers and energy meter top ups throughout the year. We have secured over 100 gifts from cash for kids’ - mission Christmas for 2024, to ensure some of our most disadvantaged children and young people who are unlikely to receive a gift have a gift this Christmas. As we have previous years, we are due to distribute Aldi vouchers and energy top ups to families to help ease pressure through the Christmas period. We are increasing support through the provision of our family hub and our dedicated family worker, who has been supporting families to access a wide range of support.

Family Hub and Parenting support

We continue to support parents and families through our counselling provision, wrap around care, cost of living support, and our new family hub offer, providing tailored 1:1 support that meets complex and multiple needs that our families often face. We have developed a new building on site and employed a family hub worker who is a qualified social worker, Triple P tutor and has a background in family support and advocacy. This enables us to provide support around a huge range of issues, some examples include housing, benefits, budgeting, employment, education, strategies for parenting, managing relationships, navigating statutory services, supporting children’s mental health, safe

sleep, be share aware, teen parents support, baby sensory, amongst many other areas of support. This is significantly increasing support for our families and connecting our community to a network of providers through the Rotherham Family hub network.

“My son came to see the counsellor at the Jade Centre with thoughts of suicide and being bullied. The counsellor has worked tirelessly in supporting not only him, but all our family in helping him improve his mental health. He is now back at school and confident in moving forward”

Trips and events

We have provided a range of trips and activities outside of our center, for our children, young people and families. We booked coaches and took 48 people on an annual trip to Skegness during the summer holidays. For many of our families this is the only summer trip they will enjoy. We have worked in partnership with Rotherham Children’s Capital of Culture who have supported our families to attend a range of cultural events and festivals across the borough, and we have taken our young people on a wide range of trips such as paintballing, bowling, rock climbing, canoeing, hiking and other opportunities that support their wellbeing and development. Most of our young people and families would not have opportunities to participate in these experiences without our support.

“JADE have worked with the school and us to support our son with his breakdown and mental health. They have signposted us onto appropriate support systems but most of all they are there! I can not explain how supported we feel as a family. Thank you so much!!!!”

Partnerships

We continue to play a significant role in shaping services across the Borough, working through the Rotherham children’s young people and family’s consortium (https://www.cypfconsortium.org.uk/), we work alongside VCS and statutory providers to identify need and develop projects and support. We are a key organization in the Smiles for Miles project, a lottery partnership funded project which brings VCS partners together to support children, young people and families. The project is all about co-production and supporting young people to reach their goals (as defined by them) and lead the direction of the project. Priorities are around early intervention, improving spaces and places that matter to communities, bringing people together and building strong relationships in and across communities. This has enabled us to bring a wide range of partners into our provision, which enables us to diversify our offer and increase our communities’ networks of support.

We sit on various strategic panels which enable us to advocate for our community, young people and families, and share our approach in engaging disadvantaged communities. This includes the Alternative Education and Inclusion strategic group, mental health group, Rotherham riots response group, and our work through the consortium with strategic leads from the NHS, CAMHS, Social care and Early help.

We have developed a community safeguarding meeting which is led by us, this encompasses all local schools, social services, Early help, Evolve team (exploitation), local police and other stakeholders. There is no set agenda other than sharing information which enables services to connect the dots and safeguard families and providing targeted responses that are innovative and provide a successful alternative that work for our families, compared to traditional statutory processes. This approach has been praised by the Rotherham Safer Partnership and the Children young peoples and family’s consortium, and we are supporting others to replicate this approach across the borough.

Our partnerships significantly improve the networks of support within our community and allow us to shape services to better meet the needs of our children, young people and families.

My daughter is waiting on CAHMS due to neurodiversity and gender issues. She felt so lost and has self harmed and been feeling suicidal. Nicki has gone above and beyond to support her and my husband and in understanding her needs. I am unsure where we would be without this service and am genuinely grateful.’ (Gender dysmorphia, depression, hearing voices, suicide attempts and self harm) parent of M age 12

Financial position

We are due to see several major funding programs finish in the next financial period, creating a need for us to secure additional funding to support the continuation of our activities. We have identified several major grant funders who align with our mission, activities and support and we are in the process of developing applications. It is however a very challenging funding environment.

In addition to changes to funding we are expecting a significant reduction in the income generated arising from school budget reductions and uncertainty around alternative provision policy. This is a trend we see across the borough, and we expect is a national trend. We are still, however, receiving referrals and expect this to improve in the long term.

As a result of the above we expect to reduce our reserve to fill gaps in budgets over the next financial period, whilst we secure further funding and continue to grow our alternative education offer back to usual levels.

Considering the above trustees have decided to designate £55,615 from our reserve towards a redundancy fund, and £41,330 towards the outstanding liabilities for our social investment loan from key fund for our family hub and expanded educational space.

Unrestricted reserves at 30 September 2024 were £277,377 (as per SOFA on page 23), less £96,945 designated funds, which leaves a balance of £180,432, around 5.7 months of running costs, which is just under our reserves policy of 6 – 12 months.

In this period, we also accepted a social investment grant/loan for capital expenditure towards our family hub and expanded educational space of £60,000. This is an extraordinary income and expense, and as such increases our income and expenditure in this financial period. As this is a one-off capital project which increases our income and expenditure, this additional income and expenses is not reflective of our ongoing financial needs moving into the next financial period.

Moving forward despite the challenges above our services remain secure and we are developing and delivering a new strategy to secure our provision for the next 3 years.

Future Plans

Moving forward we see continued need for our services and a need to further develop our offer to meet demand. Our families, young people and community continue to face significant disadvantages, inequalities, and increasingly complex challenges.

There are a lack of appropriate services in our community to address this and as such our offer plays a vital role in engaging and supporting those in need, whilst creating long-term, lasting, life course change.

Over the next 12 months we will:

Officially launch our Family hub offer in January 2025 and further develop this service over the year. Broadening our offer of support to meet a wide range of needs that we are increasingly seeing children, young people and families seeking support with.
Continue to provide a wide range of activities and opportunities that our community value and enjoy, that bring people together, and build confidence, skills and self-esteem.
Continue to develop our partnerships to broaden the network of support and opportunities available to our community. And continue to strengthen our strategic position in the borough, enabling us to advocate on behalf of our children, young people and families, address inequalities and better shape services to meet need.
Secure further funding and develop our primary purpose trading activities in order to ensure continuity of our offer.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Jade Youth & Community Ltd

Year ended 30 September 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Jade Youth & Community Ltd (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 September 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Jade Youth & Community Ltd (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

Audit risks identified

the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
results of our enquiries of management, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
any matters we identified having made enquiries about the documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to income recognition, banking procedures and segregation of duties. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, UK Corporate Governance Code and local tax legislation.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the

Jade Youth & Community Ltd

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Jade Youth & Community Ltd (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

Audit response to risks identified

As a result of performing the above, we identified income recognition and banking controls due to lack of segregation of duties as key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud. In order to mitigate the risk identified, enquiries were made of key management personnel as to the processes surrounding the recording of transactions and all bank transactions were reviewed in detail.

In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, our procedures included reviewing and testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. Due to the modest number of transactions throughout the financial year it was clear that there had been no management override of controls and that each transaction had been correctly and properly recorded as appropriate.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Jade Youth & Community Ltd

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Jade Youth & Community Ltd (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

· income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property 6% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line Equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and as such has no share capital. The members of the company are the trustees whose liability is a maximum of £1 each.
