The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 October 2019)
1. Objectives and Activities
The objects are:
(1) To act as a resource for young people living in Tyneside 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) 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.
(2) To promote physical and mental health and well-being for the benefit of the public.
(3) To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Tyneside and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.
(4) Such other charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine
With the Covid 19 Pandemic safely behind us, this year has seen Tyneside Outdoors making the most of the opportunities to gain new sources of income, consolidate our work in urban parks and begin to make a contribution to research topics around climate change, active travel and young people’s role in these subjects.
Our Temple Raiders enjoyed another series of BMX Racing with the support of Barensbury BMX Club. Young people also engaged with researchers for South Tyneside Council in providing feedback for the development of a new Health Strategy. From the summer of 2022 to spring 2023, the group worked alongside Eileen Lauster, a PHD researcher from Durham University, on a participatory action research (PAR) project looking at young people’s engagement in climate action activities.
The focus of the project concentrated on young people’s active travel, mainly by bike (cycling). The research highlighted a number of issues affecting young people’s active travel including highlighting the barriers they experience - feeling unsafe on roads, discouraged from pavements, bike theft, and physical infrastructure. Whilst the final research report has yet to be published, the group do have an active pad let page showing a map of the region pin-pointing areas of concern and key ‘go-to’ locations that the group enjoy. The padlet map can be viewed here: https://padlet.com/trsocialscientists/temple-raiders-young-people-s-cycling-experiencesmap-yd9p8vl5c7wz8w7e

TYNESIDE OUTDOORS TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 3 1 March 2023
TO bike. A new home for Temple Raiders, at 101 Prince Edward Road, became a reality on 1 March 2023. After years of carrying out repairs in Temple Park car park, we finally have an indoor space where the group can host their fix-it-first sessions, store their bikes and equipment and for Tyneside Outdoors to develop TO bike. As a new community resource selling refurbished bikes, recycled and new spares, and a servicing and repair service for local cyclists.
Our WOW (Way Out West) group in Benwell has continued to provide access to out-of-doors activities in Hodgkin Park. The group have struggled with numbers over this year, particularly during the winter months where, as opposed to Walker Park, Hodgkin Park becomes very quiet at night time, particularly after dark, something our youth workers are trying to resolve by encouraging participation in dark games like camouflage, a high-speed game of hide and seek, and a firm favourite with our group members. During the year the group also started to explore more options for cycling as a means of accessing activities away from the park, this follows on from learning during the Covid 19 pandemic and also to resolve problems negotiating high traffic areas in rush hour. Cycling to the Derwent Valley takes the same time as driving in the minibus and cycling to Whickam Thorn BMX Track helps young people learn how to get there on their own, but also saves on minibus costs and time spent in traffic around the Metro Centre.
Our work in Walker Park has shown dividends this year in terms of sustained relationships with a number of young people. Workers are now well-known to many local people and regular visitors simply turn up for a game of tennis, basketball, or to play on the slackline. The resilience to be there week after week, providing access to informal games and activities has enabled relationships to develop with local young people, and some parents, that suggests a level of trust and support for our work.
Minibus Purchase
After years of borrowing a minibus and dealing with cancellations and lack of availability, we bought our first minibus, at auction, in January 2023. The new minibus, now emblazoned with TO logos and contact information, was purchased with the grateful support of the Sir James Knott Trust and the Wellbank Foundation. The bus provides a great asset to our groups, with the ability to get out and about with very little notice.
Public Benefit Statement
The trustees/directors have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are confident that the organisation’s aims, objectives and activities are in accordance with the guidance on public benefit.
Our activities and achievements as outlined demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that the organisation’s resources and activities maximise the potential benefit to our local community.
Contribution by Volunteers
Temple Raiders continue to benefit from our home-grown young volunteers. With the new base at TO bike. We hope to continue to recruit and develop new young volunteers and support them through access to training and development opportunities.
Achievements and Performance
Evaluation and outputs
Our consistent work in local parks is proving to be a successful model of working with local young people. Whilst there may have been difficult periods of low attendance due to the itinerant nature of young people in their neighbourhoods and problematic evenings with anti-social activity towards staff, our work is providing safe informal access to positive activities for young people in their parks.
2
TYNESIDE OUTDOORS TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31st March 2023
The provision of fun games every week in Walker Park and Hodgkin Park is helping young people to enjoy outof-doors activities in their local park. Workers are also seen as ‘trusted’ adults, sometimes requested to intervene in minor bullying and intimidation between young people, and a safe space to play albeit for a short period and outdoors. We’re helping our local parks become a welcoming and enjoyable place for young people.
Our work in Temple Park in South Shields provides an opportunity for young people to enjoy rides in and around the park as well as rides out to local spaces, expanding their social and recreational boundaries. Our provision of informal free bike repairs for young people has been welcomed by local young people and is likely to increase with the group’s new base.
Our contribution to research on South Tyneside Council’s new Health and Wellbeing Strategy and our work on young people’s engagement in Climate Change - via our work with Durham University PHD student, Eileen Lauster, has provided additional emphasis on our role to ensure our work, where possible, contributes to further research and policy development in associated fields or work, i.e. Youth Work, Social Justice, Environment, Education, Health, etc.
Our weekly provision in all areas is essential to providing continuity for young people, we only cancel park sessions in cases of really bad weather, when it's not nice to be outdoors, and even on these occasions we’ve tried to rearrange and take the group indoor climbing instead.
Fundraising
Our fundraising has been successful this year with larger grants of £5,000 from the LGA Foundation and £4,965 from the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Operation Payback. Our other successful applications have resulted in grants and donations in the £2,000 to £3,000, which support individual groups for up to 5 months.
Financial review
Review of the year
The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
During the year the Charity had income of £33,158 (2022: £33,783) of which £32,674 was restricted (2022: £34,707) and expenditure of £44,603 (2022: £23,694) of which £36,082 was restricted (2022: £22,398). There was an operating deficit of £11,445 (2022: surplus of £12,089) of which a deficit of £5,938 was restricted (2022: a surplus of £12,309).
At 31 March 2023 the Charity had net assets of £45,204 (2022: £56,649) of which £22,917 was restricted (2022: £28,855).
Reserves policy/Going concern
The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £22,287 (2022: £27,794), prudent for the Charity at this time taking into account potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.
The amount of unrestricted funds, not invested in fixed assets held by the charity, should be between 3 and 6 months of annual expenditure.
Risk Management
Tyneside Outdoors is currently working on a risk management policy for the organisation. It will be completed within the next 6 months.

TYNESIDE OUTDOORS TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023
Plans for future periods
2023 will see TO develop TO bike. As a local community resources for cyclists from all sections of the community. Our fix-it-first sessions will develop into a longer term and consistent offer to young people to help them develop into confident and competent cyclists. Building on the new work at the shop, we will continue to develop work with Temple Raiders to consolidate their activity programmes, particularly in relation to cycle sports - BMX, Mountain Biking, etc.
Our work in Walker and Hodgkin Park is resonating with work on; safety in parks, particularly for women and girls; the use of parks for health and wellbeing; antisocial behaviour; and Youth Work in general. It therefore deserves to be promoted by TO as a model for further development opportunities in these areas. TO needs to champion our work to make local parks and open spaces more accessible, enjoyable and useful to communities.
The use of TO’s new minibus needs to be explored both in terms of it’s potential for helping others access the outdoors, but also a potential aid to support organisations with minibuses through the provision of MiDAS training. TO also needs to develop a strategy to train new staff to drive its minibus so that reliance on one or two individuals does not restrict activities or overburden staff.
TO bike. Has already provided space for TO to store its spare bikes and bike repair equipment used for its Temple Raiders work. The provision of a storage container has also helped to bring some order to TO store of equipment. However, as the organisation continues to grow TO should continue to be on the lookout for suitable premises, close to or linked with an outdoor space from which to operate the organisation, i.e. office space, storage and minibus parking.
Finally, TO is nearing its tenth anniversary. It currently provides 3 youth groups in 3 different areas of Tyneside and has developed a good reputation as a quality youth work provider with request for support, advice and provision from a number of sources. In order to sustain our development, consolidate our work in current areas and to progress our work in other areas TO must achieve a sustainable level of management and administration to ensure our work continues into its next decade.

7. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity SORP requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023
I report on the financial statements of Tyneside Outdoors for the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
h the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
h the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
h the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I 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.
