Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees have paid due regard to the
Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit in deciding what charitable activities
the charity should undertake. The benefits
address the diverse supportneeds of each
young person by employing a multi-
agency approach to provide information,
advice,
guidance,
education
and
counselling. The trustees have taken care
to ensure that benefits have no harmful or
detrimental
consequences.
The
beneficiaries are restricted to young
people living in Abingdon, or in the
surrounding area, aged between 13 and
25 but without distinction of sex, disability,
political, religious or other opinions.
Membership is not required, there are no
restrictions based on trustees' discretion
and no fees are charged to clients.

Financial Review

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 On 31 March 2025, the charity had total funds of
financial position at the £215,705, £200,593 of which are free reserves.
end of the period
Statement explaining Para 1.22 The trustees have examined the charity's reserves
the policy for holding requirement considering the main risks to the
reserves stating why organisation. A policy has been established in which
they are held unrestricted funds, not committed to or invested in
tangible fixed assets held by the charity, should be
between three and nine months of total expenditure.
Expenditure in 2024/2025 was £462,074 giving a
target range between £115,519 and £346,556. The
reserves are needed to meet the working capital
requirements of the charity and the Management
Committee are confident that reserves in this range
would be sufficient to continue the current activities of
the charity. The level of reserves is regularly
monitored and reviewed by the trustees. The
reserves on 31 March 2025 were 58% of the policy
limit. This level of reserves reflects the charity’s
exposure to funding volatility, particularly due to
reliance on multi-year grants. Several of these
grants contribute as much as £90,000 per
annum. Should one or more of these grants end
without replacement, the charity would need to
draw significantly on its reserves to maintain
staffing levels and avoid redundancies.
Maintaining reserves within this policy range
ensures we can continue operations and meet
our obligations during such transitions.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
16.83
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift
and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or
the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on
receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised
as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
Donated services and
facilities
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated goods
Contractual income
and performance
related grants
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required
or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.		 Yes

in the trustees’ annual report.
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

Investments Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Current asset The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and investments cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
