**BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)**
## **Trustee Induction and Training**
Trustees are provided with a range of resources to support their understanding of Barmoor Hub’s activities and outlining Trustee duties and responsibilities.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Charitable Purpose, Aims & Objectives**
Barmoor Hub CIO’s charitable purpose is the provision, development and maintenance of a centre for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of Ryton and the surrounding area within the West of Gateshead without distinction of sex, political, religious or other opinions, in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the objects of improving the conditions of life for the said people.
The charity provides, develops and maintains a centre for the use and benefit for people living in the Ryton and Crawcrook area within the west of Gateshead. The centre has a programme of activities that include youth provision, arts and crafts, wellbeing sessions and mentoring.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees understand and have discussed the implications of the provisions of the Charities Act 2006, which requires all charities to be able to demonstrate that they are established for public benefit and have had due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
The Trustees believe that the charity meets both of the key principles.
## - Principle 1 There must be an identifiable benefit, or benefits
The benefits from our work are enshrined in our objectives to support the community within Ryton and the surrounding areas:
- Creating employment and training opportunities;
- Improving education and skills learning opportunities;
- Improving local environment;
- Improving health and well-being;
- Stimulating growth;
- Reducing social isolation in our rural community;
- Facilitating inter-generational communication;
- Improving the lives and life chances of local people;
- Provide a safe, inclusive environment for young people with SEND to thrive.

## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
**Public Benefit (Cont.)**
## **Case Study: Building Confidence Through Youth Club Run by NE Youth**
## **Background**
When _Alex_ (name changed for confidentiality), a 15-year-old boy, first started attending the youth club, he was extremely shy and withdrawn. He rarely made eye contact, spoke only when spoken to, and often stood to the side while other young people took part in games and activities. His lack of confidence meant he found it difficult to make friends, join in group discussions, or try new experiences.
## **Challenges**
Alex’s main barriers were:
- Low self-esteem and lack of belief in his own abilities
- Social anxiety around unfamiliar people
- Difficulty initiating conversations or joining group activities
## **Intervention**
Youth club staff took time to build trust with Alex, introducing him gradually to small, low-pressure activities. They paired him with friendly, supportive peers and encouraged him to try new games and projects at his own pace. Positive reinforcement was given for every step forward, no matter how small.
The club’s safe, welcoming environment meant Alex could relax without fear of judgement. Over time, he began to participate in group games, join in cooking sessions, and even share his own ideas for club activities.
## **Outcomes**
- Increased confidence: Alex now speaks openly with staff & peers, and has taken part in team challenges and group discussions.
- Improved social skills: He has made a close group of friends and now welcomes new members to the club.
- Leadership potential: Recently, Alex volunteered to help organise a gaming tournament, showing initiative and enthusiasm.
## **Conclusion**
Alex’s journey shows the importance of a supportive, inclusive youth club environment in helping young people overcome shyness and build confidence. With patience, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed, young people like Alex can grow into active, engaged members of their community.
## - Principle 2 Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public
Each element of our work is able to provide benefit to the public in general.

## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)**
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
The Trustees aim to firstly hold a level of unrestricted Reserves which enables the charity to have sufficient financial resources to meet various liabilities which would crystallise if Barmoor Hub’s funding were to be withdrawn and/or it were unable to continue operating.
At present, the Trustees estimate that the Unrestricted Reserves required for such purposes amount to approximately £8,000.
If possible, the Trustees then aspire to retain an additional allowance of £5,000 to £10,000 to enable the charity to respond flexibly to issues or appropriate initiatives which might be identified outside of its annual budgeting process.
The required level of Reserves is therefore in the range of £13,000 to £18,000.
Barmoor Hub currently has total Unrestricted Reserves of £64,784 at 31 March 2025.
Free Reserves, defined as Unrestricted Funds minus Designated Funds, minus the value of Tangible Fixed Assets (£1,371) are £63,413, thereby providing a degree of additional contingency.
The Trustees regularly review specific liabilities at each Board meeting. The Reserves Policy is revisited by the Board annually in the light of progress against budget and is updated at the time of drafting the annual accounts.
## **Investment Policy**
The charity has the power under the Memorandum and Articles of Association to make any investment which the Trustees see fit.

## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)**
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees of the charity regularly review the major governance, operational and financial risks which the charity faces as part of its annual business planning process and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate these risks.
Barmoor Hub has a risk management strategy in place that comprises:
- an annual review of the strategic risks the charity may face via the business plan
- the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate identified risks
- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate financial systems and controls are in place, together with appropriate employment policies and practices and building-related processes and procedures.
The Trustees consider the key risk facing the charity at this time and the mitigating actions taken to be as follows:
- the financial risks arising if the organisation is unable to attract sufficient funding to supplement the modest earned income the charity is able to generate – to that end the charity maintains strong working relationships with key funders and has a pipeline of applications for funding bids
The Trustees also manage the general financial risks by ensuring that:
- prudent budgets are set for each financial year
- the charity maintains a low cost-base
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Summary of the Charity’s Main Achievements During the Year**
## **Chair’s Introduction**
Barmoor Hub continues to be a vital community asset, offering a safe and welcoming space for health, recreation, social interaction, and wellbeing. Over the past year, we have grown our services, built new partnerships, and introduced exciting new activities — all with the aim of improving the quality of life for local residents.
## **Highlights of the Year**
## **SICG Project – Growth & Staffing**
Thanks to ongoing funding from the National Lottery Community Fund (Reaching Communities Programme), the Sustainability, Initiative, Communication, Growth (SICG) project has enabled us to expand.

## **Summary of the Charity’s Main Achievements During the Year (Cont.)**
## **Digital Development**
Funding from Connected Voice’s Digital Inclusion Fund allowed us to launch a brand-new website, designed with input from our user groups. This funding also supported the creation of our new logos.
## **Youth Provision**
- NE Youth Club (13–18 years) – Launched thanks to UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) funding secured by NE Youth. Activities include sports, cooking, gaming, and social space.
- SEND Youth Group – Meets weekly, offering a safe, inclusive environment for young people with special educational needs, also funded by UKSPF.
## **Community Food & Warm Spaces Initiatives**
With Gateshead Council’s Warm Spaces Funding, we launched:
- Café @The Hub (July 2024) – A weekly “Pay As You Feel” café serving hot and cold food. Around 30–35 people attend each week, with suggested prices but no obligation to pay the full amount.
- Community Market – In partnership with FareShare and local supermarkets, we offer 12 items for £4, helping tackle both food poverty and food waste. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with some customers choosing to “pay it forward”.
## **Events & Fundraising**
We’ve had a busy and successful year, with events including:
- Halloween & Christmas Parties
- Ice Skating Weekend
- Summer Celebration with Fireworks
- Easter, Summer, and Christmas Fairs
A surprise donation of £2,500 came from a local business that produced a fundraising calendar.
## **Facilities & Equipment**
We successfully raised funds for a Defibrillator, which has been registered and thankfully only needed twice so far (not in life-threatening situations).

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees are responsible for managing the business of the charity and may exercise all the powers of the charity unless restricted by the Charities Act or the constitution of the charity.
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.
In preparation of the financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and:
1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them.
2. Make judgements and exercises that are reasonable and prudent.
3. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity.
The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF BARMOOR HUB CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
I hereby report to the Trustees/Members of Barmoor Hub CIO (Charity Registration Number 1186728) on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 11 to 21.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity’s Trustees (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 charity 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**
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 charity 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 or 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 (FRS102)).
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.

## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS At 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **Charity Information**
Barmoor Hub CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The registered office is Barmoor Hub, Main Road, Bar Moor, Ryton NE40 3AG.
The charity is a public benefit entity.
## **Basis of Accounting**
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 – 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), and with the Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value.
Advantage has been taken of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a statement of cashflows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
## **Income**
All income, including grant income, is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), net of VAT, when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Such income is only deferred when the donor or funder has specified that the grant or donation can only be used in future accounting years or where the donor or funder has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
## **Income from Investments**
Interest receivable on fixed interest securities and bank deposits is included on an accruals basis.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised when a liability is incurred.
- Costs of Raising Funds are those costs of seeking potential funders and applying for funding.
- Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of grant funding, research, advocacy and the direct provision of creative learning-related activities. This includes both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities.
13
## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS At 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies (Cont.)**
## **Expenditure (Cont.)**
- Support or Indirect costs are those costs incurred in support of the charitable objectives. These have been allocated to the resources expended on a consistent basis that fairly reflects the true use of those resources within the organisation, such as allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
- Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **Irrecoverable VAT**
All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
## **Operating Leases**
The charity classifies the lease of certain printing equipment as operating leases as the title to the equipment remains with the lessor. Rental charges are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.
## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation**
Depreciation is provided on the fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the assets over their remaining useful lives as follows:
Office & ICT Equipment - over 3 years Fixtures & Fittings - over 5 years
A full year’s depreciation charge is applied in the year of acquisition and no charge is made in the year of disposal.
## **Impairment of Fixed Assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **Cash and Cash Equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **Fund Accounting**
The charity has a number of restricted income funds to account for situations in which a funder requires that a grant must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in Note 13 to the financial statements.
All other funds are considered Unrestricted Funds and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
14
## **BARMOOR HUB CIO (A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS At 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting Policies (Cont.)**
## **Taxation**
Barmoor Hub CIO is a registered charity and, as such, is not liable to taxation on its income in the current year.
## **Pensions**
Barmoor Hub contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme. Further details can be found in Note 8.
For the defined contribution scheme, the amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.
## **Financial Instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’ of FRS102 to all its financial instruments.
The charity only has financial assets and 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.
## **2. Going Concern**
The Trustees believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be drawn up on a going concern basis.
