Rose Hill Junior Youth Club

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

The Trustees present their Annual Report together with the financial statements for the year end 31 May 2023.

The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The purpose of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club (RHJYC) is to advance and help young people living in the Rose Hill area of Oxford through the provision of recreational and leisure activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to encourage positive language, social skills and development of a sense of their own worth and capability.

RHJYC offers children aged 5 - 16 years the chance to engage in safe, meaningful, and healthy activities. The club offers a nurturing and creative atmosphere. We support children to raise their self-esteem, self-confidence, and independence through creative activities.

Activities are structured around weekly sessions aimed at boys and girls in different age groups. Sessions always include a hot meal and a wide range of activities, such as:

RHJYC also offers mentoring to children and young people who are referred by two local primary schools, the local children's centre, social services, or the local debt and advice centre. The needs of children and young people for mentoring include social/emotional (such as anger management, social isolation), communication, exclusion from education, young carers, eating disorders, autism and other mental health needs.

In a relatively deprived area, RHJYC offers food support: every session includes a hot and nutritious meal, with vegetables and fruit. Some children take home meals for their families. Children have the opportunity to learn how to cook healthy meals. Food boxes are provided for those in need, particularly during the school holidays.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in s4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's published guidance concerning the operation of the Public Benefit Requirement under that Act.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

During the year, regular youth club sessions were run on a weekly basis during term-time as follows:

Wednesday: School Years 1-4, 3:15pm-5:15pm; Youth, age 11-16 (he/they), 5:30pm-7pm Thursday: School Years 5-6, 3:15pm-5:15pm; Youth, age 11-16 (she/they), 5:30pm-7pm Attendance at the weekly, term-time sessions was as follows: School Years 1-4: around 50 School Years 5-6: around 30 Youth, age 11-16 (he/they): around 8 Youth, age 11-16 (she/they): around 18.

The number of primary age children attending the youth club dropped slightly because the local primary school began running after-school clubs on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We have been liaising with the head teacher at the primary school to try to ensure that the after-school clubs do not clash with the youth club sessions. We also investigated the possibility of changing the youth club sessions to different days, but it is not possible to book the community centre on other days of the week.

Activities

The children and young people had the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities, as well as free play:

Art

Crafts - mosaic crafts - fun with recycling - flower pot crafts - mask making - photo frame decoration - necklace and bracelet making - jewellery boxes - ribbon roses - festive crafts

Games

Music

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

In addition to the term-time youth club sessions, a range of activities took place in the school holidays. Over 125 children and young people attended the free summer holiday provision during August. Activities included arts and crafts projects, weekly cricket sessions, cooking and free play activities. The workshops in the October half term focused on lantern making. At Easter, 48 children participated in making Easter baskets, coasters and butterflies. They also learned how to make their own film animations.

A number of extra activities have been provided for the children and young people including:

Partnerships and community engagement

An important part of Rose Hill Youth Club's work is engaging with other organisations in the community. During the summer of 2022, the Police Community Support Officers volunteered during every session, giving them opportunities to play and have fun with the young people in their community, while building up a familiar and safe image of the police for the children. The Police Community Support Officers also visited the allotment regularly on Saturdays, supporting young people with activities such as woodwork, planting and maintenance.

A link with Oxford Brookes University enabled students studying Nutrition to undertake work placements with the youth club. They planned and led healthy eating activities, encouraging the children to try new foods and healthy alternatives.

A partnership with Film Oxford led to creative workshops for ages 11+, enabling the young people to gain skills in special effects, marketing, animation and sound. Film Oxford also worked across all the age ranges to create lanterns for a Creative Lights Festival and polar-themed lantern parade in November 2022. The children and young people learned how to design, weave and manipulate the structures to bring them to life. They also helped with marketing the event and putting posters up around the community. It was very successful. The parade was joined by a local band and the youth club provided games, arts and crafts activities and hot food for the young people who took part in the parade. The large polar bear structures created during the workshops were subsequently taken to the allotment where they will form a base for climbing plants.

Working with Rose Hill and Iffley's Low Carbon group, 10 children participated in a 'tree care' event, helping with weeding and watering the fruit trees in the community orchard next to Rose Hill Community Centre.

Food support

Many of the children who attend Rose Hill youth club come from families experiencing poverty. An important part of every session is the provision of a hot, nutritious meal, with vegetables and fruit for all the children and young people. They are also able to take hot meals home to their families. For example, between February and March, 170 hot meals were provided to families. In addition, children are offered the opportunity to learn how to cook healthy meals during the sessions.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

While a decision was taken this year to stop providing a food bank (because other agencies had taken over this provision), the youth club continued to help families in need. Muslim families were given halal meat at the end of Ramadan, which helped them to celebrate Eid together without having to worry about the additional cost of food during this time. Over the Christmas period, the youth club provided winter food support in the form of 200 boxes of essential food items and bags of festive treats. The boxes contained tinned foods, cereal, rice, pasta and pasta sauce, while the festive bags included chocolates, biscuits, crisps and mince pies. During the Easter holidays, the youth club served 100 free lunches for families.

A successful online crowdfunder, 'Happy, not hungry' helped to support this work and additional costs were provided by local donors, Oxford Food Hub, Aldi in Chipping Norton, Rose Hill Community Centre and Rose Hill's Neighbourhood Police Team.

One-day trips

Over 100 people from local families in Rose Hill were given the opportunity to have a free day out at Glympton Country Fayre, including travel, a packed lunch and access to most of the activities at the event, such as pony rides, archery and games. Four young people helped at the Rose Hill Youth Club's stall, handing out flyers about our work and offering face painting and glitter tattoos to children. Those who went on the trip reported that it was a very positive experience, particularly for many families who do not have the opportunity or ability to share a day out with their children and extended family.

The Oxford Playhouse Theatre enabled a group of 9 children to see 'Unexpected Twist'. For some it was their first time watching a live show. They met the cast afterwards and were able to discuss the play and ask questions.

Mentoring

RHJYC offers six flexible one-to-one mentoring sessions with a child or young person aged 8-to 16 years. All of the sessions provide a safe place for the mentee to talk about their thoughts and feelings with a Senior Youth Worker, while taking part in interesting activities. Children and young people are referred by local schools, Family Solutions service and community care organisations for children and young people.

Group work was offered to children with low-level anxiety, friendship concerns, managing emotions and school refusal. Groups of six children were taken to the allotment where they undertook activities alongside a Youth Worker who facilitated conversations about, for example, friendships, anxieties around transition to secondary school and conflict resolution. The children learned how to grow food and the importance of looking after the space in order to grow a successful crop. The children also made planters, bug hotels and bird houses from scrap wood and pallets. While doing this they were also learning about the importance of nature and our relationships with it. Feedback from both schools and young people was extremely positive, with a noticeable increase in confidence for the children, for example, a child who had refused to come into school was willing to attend on the allotment session days.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

RHJYC recorded a deficit in the year of £29,325, attributable to an excess of expenditure over income in both restricted and unrestricted activities. As a result, free reserves have fallen to £89,433.

RHJYC is funded almost entirely by grants from the local council, other charities and individuals who value the role that we play in supporting the local community, and so it is critically important for the sustainability of its activities that the funding is sought well in advance of related expenditure.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Reserves are that part of unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of the charity's purposes. RHJYC maintains free unrestricted reserves for the purpose of:

sessions

RHJYC's policy is to hold in reserves a sum allowing the charity to cover its costs required to operate its core youth sessions for a total of six months without additional support, which is currently estimated at £100,000. However, as funding is received on an uneven basis throughout the year, the level of reserves can naturally fluctuate above and below this figure.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Rose Hill Junior Youth Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 May 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

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

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

With effect from 1st June 2021 the Trustees have decided to change the basis of accounting from a cash basis to an accruals basis. They believe that this gives a more accurate reflection of the income generated by and resources consumed in activities during the period under review and it anticipates the point at which it would in any event be obligatory to do so when income exceeds £250,000 in any year. However, the comparative figures from the previous year have not been restated as the Trustees believe that the differences are not material.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
