Trustees' report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The Directors/Trustees stand possessed of the Trust Fund which they hold for the Charity to further the Objects of the Charity, which are specifically restricted to the following:

1) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

2) To advance education and training in subjects which develop the capacity and skills of the participants in such a way that they are able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society. 3) To relieve financial hardship in such ways as the Directors/Trustees shall determine, in particular, but not exclusively by the provision of grants.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

YES: Youth Encouragement & Socials works with disadvantaged inner-city young people aged 11-16. We have years of experience supporting hundreds of young people in reaching their full potential and leading healthy and productive lives.

Our focus is on character building, community responsibility and leadership development.

Objectives and activities (continued)

c. Achievements and Performance

Breakfast Bar Club:

The breakfast club offered 55 disadvantaged young people a nutritious and delicious start to their day and motivated them to get to school on time.

Mentors were also on hand to help young people plan for their school day and to support with any social issues that arose.

Outcomes for this project include:

The club ran 5 times weekly on school mornings between 7:50-8:50.

Healthy Homework Hub:

The homework club worked with 55 young people, offering them guidance and support and equipping them with the skills to become independent learners. The club offers a fun, safe space where interactive learning takes place through games, quizzes, peer-led groups and presentations.

Outcomes for this project include:

The club ran 4 times weekly for 2 hours after school.

Recreational and Social Activities:

YES ran a range of one-off and ongoing out-of-school events including:

Families Unite:

A weekly social event for fathers/carers and their sons aged 13 to 16. The events included singing, dancing, story telling and even some role playing. They also included a lot of social networking, and they generally had a good time together, improving and cementing relationships so that, unlike previously, stressful atmospheres at home were be reduced or even eliminated, and new positive family relationships emerged and developed. Outcomes for this project include:

Due to Covid restrictions we unfortunately had to cancel Teens Summer Stop (TSS), our annual two weekly summer sleepaway camp.

Trustees' report (continued) For the Year Ended 30 September 2020

Objectives and activities (continued)

Our other regular activities were also adjusted during lockdown as follows:

Covid Breakfast and Homework Club:

The regular attendants of our breakfast and homework clubs received their meals daily, delivered by courier, individually and hygienically packed. We also had a dedicated phoneline for our users to phone in whenever they wanted for help with homework, for emotional support, and a chance to chat with mentors they have built importantly critical relationships with.

Outcome for these projects included:

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The Charity’s reserves are represented primarily in Cash at Bank and in Hand. The Trustees' policy of investing all and any surplus funds is contained within the Charity’s 'Investments Policy'. The Trustees feel comfortable relying on their pool of donors and Applications for Government Grants and they work hard to ensure that the Charity is not dependent on one or two individuals which ensures regular cash flows into the Charity.

The Directors/Trustees have successfully managed to build up 3 months of free reserves in order to protect services and ensure adequate cash flow for the organisation's financial needs.

c. Investments policy

The Charity holds a current account. The policy of the Charity is to continue holding this account for its ongoing charitable project expenditure. Given the very low rates of interest available from the High Street Banks the Charity does not waste its resources in trying to invest any surplus funds because they are inevitably only held in the very short term and tying up funds for any extended period of time is simply not going to enable the Charity to achieve its objectives.

d. Review of the Charity's Financial Position

The Charity’s Incoming Resources amounted to £40,334 (2019: £15,950) while its Outgoing Resources amounted to £30,851 (2019: £10,312) hence the Charity achieved a surplus for the year of £9,483 (2019: £5,638). The Charity’s Funds therefore increased/(decreased) by the same amount.

Independent examiner's report For the Year Ended 30 September 2020

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of YES: Youth Encouragement & Socials ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

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 that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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 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.

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. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020

1. General information

YES: Youth Encouragement and Socials is a registered charity, number 1158807, and is constituted under a Memorandum and Articles dated 7 April 2014. Legal and administrative information are shown on page 3 of these accounts.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

YES: Youth Encouragement & Socials meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

2.3 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Page 11

YES: YOUTH ENCOURAGEMENT & SOCIALS

Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 30 September 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Office equipment - 25%

2.5 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which 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.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
