MALVERN CUBE PROJECTS TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025 companies. coupled with the diredion and ambition LgNJ out in Cube Youth's Strategic Plan, enabled the aclivrties and strong IIKal partnerships described above. This not only demnslrates the value of working to Strategic Plan but also ￿infOrceS Cube Youth's rcde in providing engaging and sustainabk ￿tsVitieS for Malvern's young people, well into the future. F5nanclal Revl These accounts have been prepared for the financial year ending 31 March 2025. As before, almost all Cube Youth's inwme came from grants and donatK)ns. which fall into one of the following 4 categories that Cube Youth has formalised into a Funding Strategy. This serves the dual purpose of focusing its funding efforts efficiently, and of reassuring funders that It is well wn both day-to-day and with its long-term sustainabilty in nwnd. and therefore worthy of their support. Category A.. Publr bodies grants'ng mults'_year grants in the range of £20-30k pér annum each. Cube Youth aims for 4-5 such grants, b8hveen them making up around 70% of total income, and providing the reassurance of long-lefm financial support. In 24r25, there were 3 such b(yJies- the Lottery1£25k, onding Sep251, MHDC1£20k per annum to 20281 and Public Heath England1£30k per annum to 2028}. In addillon, HAF provided three holiday grants lotalling £32k. and for reasons explained below is included in this category. Category B.. Corporate sponsors, offering anything from £&30k per annum. This was the first we hod such support from Iccal Companies. Our aim is to encourage at least 3 from the highly innovative and successful companies that hav6 made Mafvem their home. These would &￿tribUte 10-15% of total income. Category C.. Trusts, FOUndat￿nS and Communty fvnders. who generally offer On￿ grants in the range £1- 10k, and usualty restricted to swfic activtties or outcomes. By their nature, they are tsked and ￿'d for continuously through the year. They would also make up 10-15% of tolal income. Category D.. A mls¢ellany ol private donations arKI Chargeab￿ seNices, including 'charity of the yearf pchemes. online don*ion platlorm8, and events where Cube Youth interacts directly with the publ￿. This category would Contribute S-10% of incom8. but far more in raising Cute Youth's profi￿ in the k>cal . communlty. In 2024125, the contribution$ (excluding the £10k received from the Lottery on 2￿ March for 20251261 were A £107k, B- £21k, C-£18k, and D- £17k, representing 66%. 13%, 11% and 10% respectNety oftotal income. This suggests Cube Youth is close to where it wants to be in the range and profile of its funders. The ralKs of Unrestr￿ to restricted fvnding was arou1￿ 70.'30, a marked ¢hango from previous years. This balance'both covers core costs and conth"butes significanty to the wide variety of projects and activities. The strategy Outlined above aims to W unrestricted fijnding at 70% or above. HAF fvnding deserves a specpl eAimment, betsuse it does not share the characterist￿$ of the other A category funders. A bid has to be submitted befo￿ every s¢h¢)ol holiday. so not certain until a month or before the holiday starts. However, rts size and importance to the young peO￿e PLrt rf( squarety in this category. In 24125 it was over £30L double the previous year, thereby enabling ￿)re young people to benefit from a wider variety of trips and activities in the Easter, SumTh￿r and Winter holidays. The glowing comments from the young people and their pa￿nts speak to the enoM￿uS value it brought to faMil￿S that would normally struggle to entertain or even feed their children during the school holKlays. For some time this fvnding avenue was under threat. but the Govemment has confir1￿d il will continue for another 3 years to 2029, and given our track record so far. suggests we will be able to fund ￿ntinUIng holiday provision. The year finished with £83k in the bank, £25k ofwhth is core fvnding for the first hair of 2025126. This leaves £58k. so comfortably above the strategic objective of keeping a minimum of £50k in the bank. This is a healthy position, and in addition to the longer-lerm funding already in place described above, Cube. Youth has secured a new grant from the Lottery of £30k per annum to 2030. H(N￿ver. the trustees feel Ihat more bng-

MALVERN CUBE PROJECTS TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025 term SOUTces of income are necessary to ensu￿ Cube Youlh's future, and are therefore continuing to look for other potentsal A and B group fiJnder5. FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE As recommended by the Charity Commission and using their c1￿k11s( Cute Youth conducts a Finanoal Controls review annually. lo ensu￿ its systems and practice meet its legal and fiscal requirements, and conform to best practice where appropriate. The revw this year raised no concems or recommendations. Finally, Cube Youth has estsblished wrthin the £50k above a true'rainy day, cash reserve, currendy equivalent lo about 1.5 months. expenditure. The Finance Policy and the Financial Controls review require this lo be reviewed by the trustees annually. to ensure it conts.nues io bg based on both good practs.ce and pra¢ticAI considerations. SUMMARY The result for the year was a surplus of £8312024 - £9.5081. The abrK)unt of reseNes a$ at the balance sheet date amounted lo £83.39012024 . £83.307) including restrttod funds of £19.23912024 - £58,7201 Free reserves. which includes unre8tricted funds after diminabng tangible fixed assets amounted to £62,99012024 - £23,791 }. Rlsk m•nag•mont The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the CIO ts exposed and are satisfied thal systems are in place to mitigate them. While the tnjstees have aws considered risk in fomulating their policies and practical procedures, they established this year a fomial Risk Register, based on an established methodology 'using a 'traff￿ light. system to rate the cornbined likelihwd and impact of identrfd risks. {Red - Immediate action needed. Amber- ￿J￿$1deT whether further mitigation needed. Grèen = no action cUrren￿Y needed) . The Risk Register is a valuable tool to enable a systemats'c review of all the risks Cube Youth tsces. It is never 'finished' as conditions and their attendant risks can change all the time. The register al yearnd had no risks rated 'red', but identsfied a handful of risks rated 'ambef that will be re¥￿ 5yStematically over the next 12 mnlhs. Risks around Safeguarding and Health and Safety are reviffwed annually anyway as these are the most critical. Comprehen¥ive insurance covers all Cube Youth's ￿tiVrtIeS and w*thods of delivery. Dovolopmont T￿e Trustees feel that Cube Youth has ncyw reached its opts'mum size. and therefore does not need to grow further beyond any organic growth {mre young people joining than older ones leaving). The development effort thereforg focuses on the Iwo parallel and interrelated strands. based on the Strategic Plan.. 1- maintaining the quality and appeal of the serv￿. combining core provision by Cube Youth rtsdf and in partnership with other Ictal providers, and 2- securing the long-temi funding that will enable the model to run successfully in both temFtime and school holwjays. for al I￿t another S years.
