## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

As a result of illness, our former chair Sarah Owens, stepped down from the position in November 2024 and I assumed the role in an interim capacity for the remainder of the financial year. This was then ratified at the AGM. 

Our YMCA has been a part of Swansea, in some way or another since 1857. Over that time, we have moved premises and adapted how we work to meet the needs of the community. 

Following the Covid period, footfall in Swansea city centre has continued to decline and demand for commercial space has reduced. Despite this, our work has continued to grow and develop. 

Our Grade II listed building has placed financial pressure on the charity for a number of years, and this has increased in the past five years. For this reason, we made the difficult decision to place the building on the market. Our focus remains on our mission of delivering charitable work, rather than maintaiining an ageing property. There is a clear, defined strategy in place to support these aims. 

The building has not yet been sold. However, we continue to review all available options and remain confident in our long-term, sustainable plans. Our bank continues to support our position. 

Our community hub approach remains strong. We continue to work openly and collaboratively with all involved and remain committed to ensuring the building continues to serve the community. We are grateful to our tenants for their flexibility and support over this period. 

At the same time, demand for our services has increased significantly. Our expertise and insight are increasingly recognised, including during Government reviews of the Youth Work sector. We were selected as a pilot location for a full Estyn inspection in late March 2025 due to our profile, which we later passed with excellent results. 

The Board and I have considered the financial position set out in this report. While ii presents challenges, it also highlights the significant impact of our work. In the period 2024/5, we engaged with young people on nearly 20,000 occasions, including providing more direct support to almost 700 individuals. 

Each of these young people represents a reason to remain positive about the future. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year the company raised income principally from service level agreements, donations and grants, office and room hire and membership of our fitness facility. 

This has been a transitional year for the Charity as we seek to focus on, and develop in, our areas of strength in youth work and training.Rises in Bank rates have led to increased loan interest costs, which together with a changing funding landscape where more charities are competing for less money, has led to the trustees reporting a loss for the year of (£86,305). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

Swansea YMCA registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 1st August 2013. 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, the members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Following the year end, Mr Adel Shereef was appointed as a trustee. 

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 17 July 2026  and signed on the board's behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SWANSEA YMCA** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Swansea YMCA ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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 accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Going Concern** 

As a largely grant funded organisation, there is always a degree of financial uncertainty within the field that we work. The current economic climate remains unstable and external funding priorities are beyond our control. The trustees, as part of their due diligence, have carefully assessed the impact of the year end net current liability position and considered the material risks that would affect the organisation's ability to continue operating as a going concern in the next twelve months, starting from the date the accounts are signed. 

## They are as follows; 

Renewal of funding may not occur which would affect the ability to meet overheads. The loan covenant has been breached twice in the last five years. Creditors of longstanding debts may require immediate repayment. Property values may fall due to economic and inflationary pressures. Key building tenants may themselves lose funding/income or cease trading. 

The trustees are ultimately responsible for risk management, and they are satisfied that appropriate controls and safeguards are in place to mitigate the risks outlined above. We have assessed the operational forecasts for the coming year, along with the necessary strategies, and are satisfied that there are sufficient resources available to continue as a going concern. However, should one or more of the issues above arise over the coming 12 months this could lead to a material uncertainty on going concern. As always, this will be carefully monitored so that appropriate action can be taken at any point should we no longer have that confidence. 

We are grateful that our bank, Unity Trust pie, continue to support us with the provision of an overdraft and have recently renewed our loan facility for the next two years. 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Income from room hire is recognised when the hire takes place. 

Office hire is recognised by reference to the period to which it relates. Rent is charged in accordance with the terms of the rental agreement. 

Fitness centre income is recognised when paid. When a payment is made for an extended period it is credited evenly over the period to the SOFA. 

Donations and similar incoming resources represent monies received by the charity from charitable donations and gifts. These are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities upon receipt. 

Grant income is accounted for on an accruals basis and is shown in the financial statements when the Charity earns the unconditional right to the funds. Grants received for a specific purpose are treated as restricted funds. Revenue grants are credited directly to the Statement of Financial Activities and Capital grants are released over the life of the asset in line with the depreciation policy. 

## **Interest Receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Expenditure** 

The cost of generating funds comprises those costs associated with attracting grant income. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities, both costs directly attributable and indirect support costs. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity. 

All costs allocated between expenditure categories are on a basis designed to reflect their resour[c] e usage. For some costs this means direct allocation to activities, other costs are apportioned, e.g. by staff time spent on the activity, or another equitable usage measure. 

Joint delivery costs are recognised in the period which they are awarded to the extent that they have been expended in accordance with the funding terms and conditions. 

The Charity initially identifies the costs of its support functions. Support costs include back office costs, finance. personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charities programmes and activities. Having identified its governance costs, the remaining support costs together with the governance costs are apportioned between the three key charitable activities undertaken) in the year. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

Costs have been allocated as far as possible between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly. Others have been apportioned based on the estimated usage of the resource. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold Property - 2% on cost 

Fixtures and Fittings - 20% on cost 

Improvements to Property - 2% on cost 

Plant and Machinery - 20% on cost 

Included in freehold property is a land element which has a nil depreciation rate. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes falling in future time periods. 

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

A future explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. 

The interest element of these obligations are charged to the SOFA over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Legal status of the charity** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
