Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

The charity's main activities (continued)

We do this by facilitating networks, connections, training and partnerships alongside our members VCSE groups and partner agencies. This is underpinned by frameworks to support organisations to access investment, so they can focus on the delivery of services. We also support the implementation of the Resilience Framework and Approach; this is an evidenced based framework which aims to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. By sharing best practice this assists organisations to deliver quality activities, effective and efficient services.

The Young Lives networks are both online and face to face, they support the exchanges of information and expertise between all agencies on relevant issues to assist organisations grow and improve outcomes for children, young people and families in the Wakefield District.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular advancement in life of children and young people, and the support of families in need, in particularly but not exclusively, by promoting the effectiveness and efficiency of charities and charitable activities of voluntary organisations and supporting and assisting voluntary organisations working with young people and families in order to achieve these purposes. All activities are considered against our purpose and objectives. In particular our work is underpinned by the Public Health Resilience Framework which aims to improve outcomes as identified by Public Health.

Achievements and performance

2020/2021 began with the Covid 19 Pandemic and a number of lock downs impacting on children, young people, their families and communities, therefore our achievements this year were in working together with VCSE and wider partners in responding to the changing nature of the demands on children, young people and communities. As the differing issues and solutions emerged they were shared strategically through Young Lives Consortium members and Wakefield Children and Young people’s Partnership, with Young Lives members taking a lead in the co-design of ‘Wakefield Families Together’ which assisted in contributing to the new ways of working through the pandemic with the aim of promoting positive outcomes for children, young people and families including the development of www.wf-i-can.co.uk

Our work with the children, young people and families VCSE networks began in April working together with NOVA and communities to understand the impact of COVID, how to continue to deliver services and projects. Network meetings focused on sharing skills, for example initially on how to set up online activities and to aid Covid Compliant community responses with communities so that children, young people and their families could raise concerns and solutions were developed and YLC supported through promoting access to resources such as digital inclusion programmes, ‘help at the hubs’ and new funding streams. Changes via Wakefield Families Together were promoted via seminars ensuring VCSE groups continued to be cited on the new ways of working ‘Wakefield Families Together’. In addition, organisations continued to come together to respond to the needs and assets of the local communities including creating suicide prevention materials and raising awareness to reduce the risk of suicide in children and young people. The Local Authority, Public Health and the CCG exchanged ideas and information with voluntary organisations to respond collectively to issues raised by children and young people via the VCSE. We have continued to identifying needs and strengths in the voluntary sector and establishing projects such as the Future in Mind Partnership, Community Navigator Programme, Safe Place project, Post 16 programme and Young Healthwatch to support children and young people and their families.

Young Lives Consortium

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

Achievements and performance (continued)

During the summer YLC facilitated engagement sessions with partners to assist in designing new services for young people 16-25, supported the promotion of funding for family support and continued to be a trusted source of information. Organisations shared ‘what works’ with one another online as part of the suicide prevention offer, where possible covid compliant activities were piloted alongside communities to assist young people to feel safe and enjoy time together. ‘Wakefield Talks’ events assisted organisations to share their offers to workers and the community from September 2020– March 2021. The Autumn focused on assisting workers and volunteers from VCSE groups to recognise and respond to trauma, assist children, young people and families to stay safe, access food, fuel, digital inclusion and improve emotional wellbeing.

As we entered winter and a further lockdown the network focused on safeguarding and links with social care supported ‘eyes on children’ approach across the children’s workforce. VCSE groups continued to strengthen their face to face engagement with children and young people making each engagement count.

Young Lives has continued to facilitate the VCSE involvement in Future in Mind Programme for children and young people’s VCSE organisations. Through the Young Lives Framework we continued to develop a transparent process for organisations to access grants and funding. This activity includes monitoring grants and facilitates the co-production of the Future in Mind programme. Young Lives Consortium continues to work alongside NOVA to develop and improve the services of children and young people’s organisations in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and quality through the New Framework developed alongside NHS, LA and VCSE partners.

Wakefield District have an established team of 7 Community Navigator’s led by Young Lives Consortium in partnership with VCSE organizations Homestart, Next Generation, Rosalie Ryrie, The Well, Saint Georges and Hemsworth District Partnership. The Future in Mind Project has assisted Young Lives Consortium extend the activities of the voluntary organizations to children and young people. The Community Navigator role has ensured that voluntary organisations and charities extend their work and connect with CAMHS, Children’s Services and with schools, this has extended our reach to children and young people within schools setting in particularly children in primary schools and then provide additional support during holiday times. This has had direct impact for children and young people in the Wakefield District, and we continue to work with over 1,000 children and young people who through engaging activities continue to improve their key skills and competencies to manage change and transitions.

Working with young people, Future in Mind Community Navigators, local authority, public health and the NHS, we responded as a collective to issues raised by children and young people, in particular the need to access safe places and access reliable information to assist children and young people improve wellbeing. Together during lockdown young people and their organisations contributed to developing www.wf-i-can.co.uk. Voluntary groups including Star, Hemsworth District Partnership, The Well, Rosalie Ryrie, Empowering Young People Project, Young Healthwatch, Next Generation, Ryecroft Leisure, Home-start Wakefield, Saint Georges Community Centre, Young Carers, Stripes, Young Healthwatch and Building Our Futures were instrumental in developing www.wf-i-can.co.uk for under 13’s and over 13’s, alongside this the online drop in was tested with young people and a safe space for young people to come and chat online was established to reduce loneliness and isolation for young people alongside self-help tips to improve wellbeing. In addition, NCS groups from Wakefield Trinity and the Youth Service promoted the offer, and Young Carers ‘took over the site’ in January and set the weekly challenges, alongside this a retail space through ‘Makey Wakey was secured, activities with young people began in August 2020 to make the space accessible, working with an artist, covid compliant activities took place and young people were invited to take part in complementary activities in three settings across Wakefield District. Over 500 activities packs were sent out to young people in the Autumn.

Achievements and performance (continued)

In addition, a range of funding bids were secured to support the development of post 16 work to develop new ways of working to improve wellbeing and develop a postvention offer this has ensured that YLC and members have participated in developing activities and programmes to respond to young people with low emotional wellbeing and access one to one support. Further young people participated in developing and testing out a Resilience programme and CCE prevention materials and a short film to promote debate and conversation with young people. Young People’s involvement in creating both the i-can virtual and physical safe place in the ridings and promotions, led to them sharing their learning with their peers at West Yorkshire Level. All the porgrammes will be available for local groups via the www.riskandresilience.org.uk

Over 160 participants from wider network of VCSE organizations and partner organisations have accessed training and support so they can enhance their practice with children, young people and families to develop resilience, increase awareness of safeguarding responsibilities, and how to respond when young people present in crisis. An Online offer was established and where possible face to face sessions were delivered as part of our Suicide Prevention Strategy in September socially distanced covid compliant Safetalk sessions were held outdoors hosted by Featherstone Rugby Club. Further Safetalk sessions were delivered with partners when allowed later in the year. The focus of the training and networking was to respond to the changing situation, recognise strengths and build on them, develop and grow covid compliant delivery models, promoting safe spaces for children, young people, and families across Wakefield District.

We have acted as a representative of the voluntary sector in relation to local government policies and practices sharing a range of views from the children and young people’s voluntary sector and have participated in the new West Yorkshire and Harrogate Partnership, In relation to Safeguarding and mental health we have worked with young people to identify changes to improve outcomes for young people in particular WF-I-Can website.

We have acted as a representative and advocate of the voluntary sector in relation to local government policies and practices sharing a range of views from the children and young people’s voluntary sector within the Children and Young People’s Partnership in Wakefield District and with West Yorkshire and Harrogate Partnership. In relation to Safeguarding Children and Young People, we continue to engage with young people and VCSE organizations advocating for changes to improve outcomes for young people at times of transition and change. We have delivered Basic Safeguarding Children, vulnerable adults and Safetalk training to staff, volunteers and young people in communities across the district.

Young Lives Consortium works to extend the participation in the voluntary sector of sections of the underrepresented communities. This year we have continued to work with groups that represent the BAME community, LGBTQ Community and Disabled Children and their families in Wakefield District to take forward proposals for safe places in the Wakefield District. Our work with Healthwatch supports Young Lives to actively seek and represent the views of the ultimate beneficiaries’ children, young people and families in need to policy makers and service providers. The work of Young Healthwatch has also supported young people to continue to take the lead in developing activities for their peers to reduce the stigma of mental health and emotional wellbeing; this includes many young people’s groups across the district. Learning and research is shared with the wider voluntary and community sector and partners and embedded into our future actions.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £52,633, including net income of £17,626 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £70,259 on restricted funds, after transfers.

At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £47,810.

Young Lives is committed to developing its reserves to:

Meet contractual liabilities should the organisations have to close.

This includes redundancy pay, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases.

To meet unexpected costs like break down of essential office machinery, staff cover re illness, maternity leave, parental leave, and legal costs defending the organisations interests

To replace equipment as it wears out.

Ensure that the organization can continue to provide a stable and quality service to those who need them. Within this context to minimize recruitment, staff training, staff induction and marketing costs by avoiding the need for redundancies caused by financial crisis.

To provide working capital when funding is paid in arrears and place the charity in a position where it could bid for ESF funding which can be paid up to 12 months in arrears.

From time to time funding has certain restrictions which mean that by law it must be held in a restricted reserve until it is spent in line with the funding agreement.

Young Lives aims to develop reserves in the band 16% to 28% of current expenditure. This would equate to approximately £56,000 to £98,000 based on current levels of expenditure.

Were Young Lives to close the organisation would incur a number of winding up costs which are budgeted for.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources 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.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Grants payable with performance conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants payable without performance conditions

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Computer and office equipment: over 3 years
