TRUSTEES' REPORT

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the 's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".

Objectives and activities

The charity's objectives are:-

To act as a resource for young people, and in particular young people with learning or physical difficulties, living in Salford by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:-

a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;

b) advancing education:

c) relieving unemployment;

d) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

Achievements and performance

Throughout the reporting period ending 31 March 2025, You Can sustained its commitment to delivering targeted youth programmes with a strong emphasis on developing social skills and promoting independence among young participants. A key feature of all trip and holiday-related activities was the integration of structured travel training, equipping young people with practical life skills, and greater confidence in navigating public transport.

Core youth club sessions were designed to promote social engagement and enjoyment through a range of structured and inclusive activities. These included outdoor recreation such as kite flying, interactive board games like Monopoly, and creative writing workshops. The creative writing component encouraged participants to express themselves through the composition of positivity-focused poems, reflecting on their personal needs, experiences, and disabilities in a supportive and empowering environment. These activities collectively fostered peer connections, emotional well-being, and self-expression among young people.

Additionally, in response to direct feedback gathered during consultations with young people, a dedicated weekly session was introduced to focus specifically on youth voice initiatives. This new provision was developed in partnership with the Salford Youth Service’s Participation Lead Manager, ensuring meaningful engagement and co-production of activities that reflect the interests and priorities of the participants.

Complementing this development, You Can collaborated with the Salford Parent Carer Forum, a local support network for parents and carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, to deliver a parallel weekly session. This initiative enabled parents of participating young people who require additional support to remain on-site in an adjacent space, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment while maintaining the autonomy of the youth-led programme. This collaborative approach has strengthened family engagement and enhanced the overall effectiveness of service delivery.

The holiday programme continued to be a highly favoured recreational offering for young participants, featuring a diverse itinerary of activities. Excursions included farm visits, beach outings, a round of mini-golf, a canal boat cruise, and themed magic sessions at Gwrch Castle. Technological entertainment was provided through the Bury Arcade, Virtual Hideout, and Laser Quest facilities.

YOU CAN COMMUNITY CLUB CIO TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

Physical-wellness components were integrated throughout the week, comprising of walks around Walton Hall and its gardens, supervised swimming sessions, and an inclusive cycling experience organised with Wheels for All.

In addition, members took part in a three-day residential stay at Lledr Hall, where they engaged in rope-climbing, kayaking, and a series of team-building challenges designed to strengthen collaboration and resilience.

Overall, the programme successfully combined leisure, technology, and fitness elements to deliver a balanced and appealing holiday experience for young people.

Financial review

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the ’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Plans for future periods

In 2025, the aim is to strengthen collaborative partnerships to expand accessible provision for young people with additional needs across Salford. A continued priority will be fostering youth voice and active participation, ensuring that young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) are provided with safe, inclusive spaces to express their views and contribute meaningfully to decision-making processes. By embedding youth-led principles throughout the organisation, we remain committed to empowering young people and placing their perspectives at the heart of service development and delivery.

Building on our commitment to equitable access to youth club provisions, we intend to submit a formal proposal to sustain and expand our Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) sessions to support young people who either receive free school meals or have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below:

1.2 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.3 Income

Income is recognised when the 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.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment 20% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the 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).

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

1.7 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.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
