## **Achievements and performance - continued**
YLC continued to be part of the developments and changes via Wakefield Families together a partnership of all agencies promoting positive outcomes for children, young people, and families. YLC participated developing and promoting the new networking arrangements.
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.
## **Impactful Partnerships**
YLC achievements are strengthened by our partnerships with VCSE organisations and colleagues, young people and wider partners in responding to the significant demands children, young people, and communities are experiencing.
We have continued to identify and build on strengths in the voluntary sector and established ideas for change.
Our programmes and activities continue to be responsive and flexible to the changing needs and aspirations of children, young people and communities while taking on board best practice such as the importance of trauma informed and responsive projects, people and organisations.
Young Healthwatch and the Community Builder Programme amplify the voice of children and young people. Children and young people have continued to share with us how important it is they have safe places and people that they can trust. They also tell us that that the voluntary sector plays an important role in providing these places and people, and with the welcoming and consistent support that young people make successful transitions to adulthood and manage life events. Young Healthwatch and our Community Builder both projects are engaging young people to transform services and tell their stories.
YLC worked strategically and operationally within the district as part of Wakefield Families Together, Young Lives and members continued to engage with ‘Wakefield Families Together.’
www.wf-i-can.co.uk is now well established, children and young people have access to resources co-created with voluntary and community organisations, young people and health and local authority partners. They learn about the site in schools and communities through partnerships with organisations and they play a significant role in contributing to the development of the site.
Young People take over the site and develop challenges which the wider community engage with. The site continues to develop with the support of the YLC team and partners. The online offer compliments the WF-ICan activities that support young people to develop key skills while having fun.
Programmes responded to young people’s requests for example Trauma Informed Mentoring – here we have co-produced a programme building on young people’s requests for one-to-one work to assist them to move forwards this has included walk and talks, mentoring and creative activities to assist them move into activities within their community.
Further activities include group and social action activities for example young adults have developed the WF-ICan space in the Ridings in Wakefield, decorating and developing the Unit for the wider community of young people, activities include the development of a self-advocacy group, development of a game (online) to support young people to manage long covid, developing the Safe Place awards celebrating the contribution of VCSE organisations and young people. Young People participated in developing, delivering including hosting the event and evaluating the event.
Further VCSE partners have developed the WF-I-Can mobile youth van engaging with young people in communities, delivering outreach taking services out to children, young people, and communities to respond to young people and community needs.

The Postvention offer continued to develop timely trauma informed responses to young people aged 14- 25 providing a breadth of support providing support to communities and person-centred support to individuals.
The Community Navigator Programme delivered alongside 7 VCSE organisations was completed at the end of March 23. In this final year the programme engaged with 1598 children and young people delivering resilience programmes such as Luggague for Life. Our legacy for projects ending this year included embedding the resilience framework into new programmes for 16–25-year-olds in the district and a range of age appropriate co-produced resources are now freely available for children and young people and organisations via www.wf-i-can.co.uk .

All programmes including the Future in Mind Partnership, Community Navigator Programme, Safe Place Project, post-sixteen provision and Young Healthwatch continued to support children and young people and their families to share what matters to them and to shape how we move forward.
## **Amplifying the voice of VCSE organisations in the district**
YLC 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. In relation to Safeguarding and emotional and mental wellbeing we have worked with young people to develop events and engage in development for changes to improve outcomes for young people.
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 relation to Safeguarding Children and Young People, we continue to engage with young people and VCSE organisations advocating for changes to improve outcomes for young people in particular at times of transition and change. We have delivered Safeguarding Children training to staff, volunteers and young people in communities.
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 the growing BAME community in Wakefield to develop 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.
## **Plans for future periods**
Starting in October 2022, the Trustees initiated plans for the future by convening an away day. This gathering informed the decision to undertake a comprehensive Strategic Review of the organisation. The review encompasses several key areas:
- 1 Strategic and Business Plan Development: A new Strategic and Business Plan is being formulated to guide the organisation's direction.

## Young Lives Consortium
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Plans for future periods (continued)**
- 2 Governance Review: An evaluation of governance practices is underway to ensure they are effective and aligned with the organisation's objectives.
- 3 Operational Structure and HR Functions Review: The operational structure and HR functions are being reviewed to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, a consultation process will be undertaken, and restructuring efforts will be implemented. The aim is to establish systems that promote capacity-building, ensuring that the Young Lives Consortium (YLC) enhances its governance practices, refines its strategic direction, and establishes an operational structure conducive to sustainability.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £106,137, including net income of £6,263 on unrestricted funds and net income of £99,874 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The total reserves of the charity at the year end were £608,057 of that amount £450,235 is restricted leaving £157,822 unrestricted.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £157,822.
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 policy is to hold reserves in the band 16% to 28% of current expenditure. This equates to approximately £72,000 to £126,000 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.
Current reserves are above the policy, this surplus will be used to respond to the investment required to move forward in developing the sustainability of the organization. These measures are intended to further YLC's mission and expand its impact in fulfilling its charitable purpose.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Young Lives Consortium
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO 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 CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act;
- 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.

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.
