CHAIR OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

As Chair of Trustees, I speak on behalf of the entire Board in saying how proud we are of the achievements of YouTurn Futures in this last year. The staff team has continued to meet every challenge and continuously performed at the highest levels for the benefit of our partners and our service users. Whilst the charity has evolved quite considerably since its inception, what has been particularly heartening this year has been the achievement of our fundamental purpose, to enrich the quality and impact of the work of our partners through our knowledge, support and networking across criminal justice.

Bedfordshire Police is the first force in the Country to have received a grade of “outstanding” at inspection and YouTurn’s contribution to this was noted specifically, achieving our core aims and demonstrating the value we bring in providing outsourced strategic management and coordination of statutory services. So, as I mentioned, whilst this report celebrates so much, I’m particularly overjoyed at highlighting the outcomes against our reason for being and in sharing the recognition of work that can so often and so easily go unnoticed.

For readers more familiar with the history of YouTurn Futures, you will know that the delivery of services directly to people involved in the criminal justice system was not in our original aims. However, the Board agreed to renew the aims of the charity to include frontline delivery of services in 2019 and this year we’ve seen continued expansion to our offer and use of our services, with over 11,000 people having visited our directionforbedfordshire.co.uk website and nearly 500 people referred to us for support in meeting their personal and socioeconomic needs. Separate to this, we have seen growth in the use of our programmes for people receiving a caution by Police; all in all, helping more and more people this year to change their lives away from crime which is something we are immensely proud of.

As our success has continued to drive our growth, we have sought to strengthen our infrastructure to support the expanding team and we are pleased to have made some key new appointments to our senior management team and back-office functions this year. In addition to this, we have developed our own bespoke IT solution to support our business delivery, making us less reliant on our partners for such and improving both our sustainability and business efficiency.

Again, we don’t do things by half and the fantastic work surrounding this was recognised in our ‘Runner Up’ award at the national Charity Governance Awards in the Transforming with Digital category. Such achievements are only possible from a strong and dedicated team and so I want to close by thanking Stuart for his phenomenal work in steering the ship and to thank all the staff that support him.

Of course, we couldn’t do it without our partners too, with special mention to Bedfordshire Police, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, the National Probation Service and the Lloyds Foundation; we thank you all for your continued support which enables us to continue to deliver for you.

Doug De-St-Aubin Chair of Trustees

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

CHARITY CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNING DOCUMENT

YouTurn Futures is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, entered on the Register of Charities on 31[st] March 2014, registered charity number; 1156468

The Charity’s governing document is a ‘Foundation’ model constitution, which as provided by sections 224-227 of the Charities Act 2011 can only be amended by resolution agreed in writing by all members of the CIO or by resolution passed by a 75% majority of those voting at a general meeting of the members.

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

It is intended that the Trustees are able to bring a range of skills to the charity and provide guidance on issues including management practices, finance, strategic planning and human resource management

To increase the range of these skills, the trustees agreed to make changes to YouTurn’s constitution in July 2020. These changes included increasing the maximum number of trustees from 12 to 15, extending the term to four years and removing the specific list of organisations that are able to nominate trustees.

These changes were duly reported as required to the Charity Commission.

TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING

Prospective trustees are provided with a copy of the current version of the constitution and copy of the latest charity accounts prior to appointment. New trustees are invited to meet with YouTurn’s Director for a detailed discussion regarding the charity and the role of Trustees. Copies of the charities annual report, impact report and information regarding the activities of the charity including project performance reports and risk registers are also made available.

All prospective and new trustees are also provided with copies of the Charity Commissions Trustee Handbook and related documents. Funding is available to support trustees to access external training relevant to their role as Trustee should they wish. Trustees are encouraged to visit the charity’s activities and meet with project leaders to engage with and understand the work of the charity.

DECISION MAKING

The Trustees and YouTurn Director meet regularly during the year, ordinarily every three months, to consider financial, management and strategic decisions and to review the future of the charity.

No decision shall be taken at a meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the decision is taken. The quorum is two charity trustees, or the number nearest to one third of the total number of charity trustees, whichever is greater, or such larger number as the charity trustees may decide from time to time. A charity trustee shall not be counted in the quorum present when any decision is made about a matter upon which he or she is not entitled to vote. Questions arising at a meeting shall be decided by a majority of those eligible to vote.

RISK

The YouTurn Director maintains an overarching strategic plan for the charity, which includes details of risks faced by the charity as identified by the Trustees and senior staff. The Director and where appropriate, project leads report to the trustees on a regular basis identifying the management and mitigation of risks as per the charities annual and project plans.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES

The charitable objectives of YouTurn Futures as set out in the constitution are;

• The rehabilitation of ex-offenders and the prevention of crime and anti-social behaviour, in particular but not exclusively, by:

• a) facilitating their integration and constructive engagement in society;

• b) the provision of support, information and advocacy for ex-offenders, those at risk of offending and the victims of crime; and

• c) the promotion and development of best practice models of integrated offender management.

• the promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).

CHARITY AIMS

YouTurn seeks to improve the lives of offenders and victims of crime by improving community responses to ex-offenders, their families and victims thereby reducing re-offending and crime within local communities.

The charity seeks to influence the way statutory and other voluntary sector organisations respond to crime and offending and to promote integrated, multi-agency and effective responses.

Having built up a rapport. the Supported Pathway was an opportunity for him to discuss his emotions and work out next steps on how he could achieve the independence both financially and personally that he wanted. He wa5 tempted bythe quick money he could make selling drugs for the local gang. However. following the intervention of the supported pathway staff. he was able to weigh up the pros and cons of selling drugs against the longer-term outcomes. While selling drugs provided an immediate income. he was also likely to end up in trouble with the police and possibly the8ang. Whereas if he went for an apprenticeship. he would initially have less money but in the lon8 term. he would be earninggood money without the risks involved in drug selling. Adam's confidence has now grown and he is about to complete his CSCS card so he can apply for a plastering apprenticeship.

Melanie's case was referred after she was investigated for money laundering having been exploited by gang members using her bank account. Melanie. was 18 and had lived away from home for a year after issues with her family. She lacked family support and was having to live independently with support from a key worker who had concerns about the people she was associating with. From the first meeting it was clear that Melanie lacked self-esteem and was easily influenced by people PLJrporting to be her friends. She was also in a relationship with a male who was concerning due to his drug use, behaviour and potential links to criminality. Meeting regularly, we gained Melanie's trust and helped her identify healthy relationships and how to make positive decisions for herself. Melanie gained confidence in making her own decisions and ended the relationship. Shortly after she discovered she was pregnant but had the confidence to move forward independently of her ex-boyfriend. In addition, we supported her to find structure in how she Spent her time to achieve goa15 such as completing college work that she had previously struggled with and encouraging her to find other positive artivities to Fill her time. We also worked on budgeting so she could pay off her debts. We continued to offer her support for almost a year which ended once she was settled in mother and baby unit. fv1elanie recently got back in contact to give us the happy news of the birth and is continuingto flourish with a renewed relationship with her own Mum and supported accommodation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial statements are set out on pages 23 onwards. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). The trustees consider the financial performance of the charity during the period to have been satisfactory. The Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming resources for the period of £101,394.

Free unrestricted liquid reserves amounted to £188,656 and restricted reserves £443,374.

INVESTMENT POWERS

YouTurn’s constitution identifies that; the Charity has the power to deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager, and arrange for the investments or other property of the Charity to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000.

RESERVES

The trustees have reviewed the YouTurn reserves policy and endorsed a policy at their July 2021 meeting.

The trustees have designated reserves where there are planned commitments that cannot be met by anticipated future income alone. These reserves are broken down into a number of funds that relate to YouTurn’s responsibilities as an employer to pay salaries, NI and pension contributions for a minimum of 3 months and to hold sufficient funds to provide proper notice and redundancy costs in the event of closure and also provide funds to cover general operating costs for 3 -6 months

Taking all of this into account the trustees have set a level of reserves in a range equivalent to a minimum 3 months and maximum of 6 months of operating costs.

This figure and the liabilities of the charity will be subject to regular review by the Trustees with a view to determining where changes to the reserves policy may be required.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

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).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);

• 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of:

YOUTURN FUTURES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of YouTurn Futures (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 31 March 2022, 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; and

• 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.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees’ annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

20

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of:

YOUTURN FUTURES

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or

• the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; 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, set out in page 20, 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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:

• Enquiry of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation or claims and the identification of non-compliance with laws and regulations.

• Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with

• applicable laws and regulations.

• Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; 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.

• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.

• Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresonsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of:

YOUTURN FUTURES

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
