YOUTH INK AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

The Trustees present their annual report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.

In preparing the accounts, the Trustees have followed the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005.

CHARITABLE OPERATIONS

This is a registered charity established for the public benefit in prevention of re-offending of young people who are known to the criminal justice system. This is achieved by seeking grant to develop and execute programmes pertinent to achieving these goals.

Youth Ink Approach

Youth Ink is a forum operating in the heart of communities and led by people with experience of the criminal justice system. Youth Ink uses the power of peer networks to rehabilitate and to create safer communities for the future. By harnessing these relationships and improving collaboration with decision makers at all levels, Youth Ink ensures justice policies have maximum impact on the most vulnerable individuals in society.

Criminal Justice System can only create long-term change by listening to the voices of those who have entered the justice system. Youth Ink is an aspirational voice, providing a stage for those who have not been given a legitimate first chance. Youth Ink knows what can be put in place to intervene early, to change the long-term course of people in our communities. Youth Ink knows this because the very people who make up the organisation have lived the experience.

Youth Ink speaks simply and concisely, ensuring policies are clear at all times.

Who we are

What is Youth Ink? Youth Ink is an award-winning lived experience-led charity with the unique ability to gain the trust, access, and insight of young people involved in and around the criminal justice system. We aim to provide a comprehensive health and rehabilitation experience to help young people lead better lives and access better criminal justice services. We strive for nothing less than positive life changes for young people, their families, and our larger community.

Mifta Choudhury founded Youth Ink after working in the criminal justice system for many years. He entered the system at 13 and has been incarcerated for over 12 years. He believes that if young people are given legitimate first chances, their outcomes will inevitably improve. His experience as a trustee and consultant in various positions within the criminal justice system provides him with a thorough understanding of the young's negative early-year experiences in the criminal justice system.

Awards and recognition

Mifta received the Butler Trust Award in 2019 for his work on Youth Ink (https://www.butlertrust.org.uk/miftachoudhury/). Youth Ink received the 2022 Children & Young People Youth Justice Awards (CYP Awards https://www.cypnowawards.com/winners2022)

What we do

Our Peer Support Navigator Network connects children and young adults in the criminal justice system with established professionals. Everyone in this field collaborates to develop youth justice solutions. Youth Ink develops youth justice interventions that address the needs and concerns of those whose lives stand to benefit the most by involving marginalised people in developing solutions.

We have three approaches

Trauma-Informed Peer-Led Conversation Hub – is run by peer support navigators who assist young people in building resilience and healthy connections as well as ambition, determination, and a sense of community by drawing on their own lived experiences of trauma. When youth are in power, this technique is workable.

Our peer support navigators are young ex-service users with first-hand experience with Trauma and the Criminal Justice System.

Lived Trauma (LT) – is a focused approach to understanding mental health that will help young people become resilient to risks, develop healthy ambition, determination, and a sense of community, and help them deal with the initial emotional, psychological, and practical uncertainties brought on by their unique circumstances as young people involved in the justice system.

4

Structure, Governance and management

Youth Ink was established in response to what appeared to be shortcomings in how the criminal justice system traditionally treated children and young adults. This non-responsive paradigm's detrimental economic and social repercussions on young people's engagement are well recognised. Youth Ink's primary goal is to innovate and broaden the paradigm of engaging children and young adults inside the criminal justice system to minimise re-offending.

Youth Ink's overarching objective is to support the development of the poor and marginalised children and young people in our society on a personal, social, educational, and health level. We engage in and want to engage in

The CEO, Treasurer, and Administrative Officer comprise the organisation's core management group, which runs the business daily. The trustees' Board includes people with various experiences, skills, and qualifications relevant to the organisation's goals. The Trustees determine Charity's overall direction and fundamental strategic policies at their quarterly meetings. Roles and processes are established for reporting choices, actions, and problems, including the appointment and induction of new trustees. All Trustees and management teams, except the CEO, are unpaid volunteers.

Risk Management

The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. The Trustees believe that sufficient controls exist regarding the size and composition of the Board of Trustees.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity's objectives (the Objectives) are for the public benefit:

  1. The assistance of and prevention of offending and re-offending of young people who are known to the criminal justice system by (a) provision of peer-led support and training programmes and community-based volunteering work; (b) provision of advice on personal, social, health and education for their complete resettlement into the mainstream society.

  2. To work with statutory authorities, government bodies, and others involved in the criminal justice system to assist with the rehabilitation of children and young adults involved in the criminal justice system.

This is achieved by working in partnership with organisations within the Criminal Justice System.

Review of activities and performance

The Board

Youth Ink trustees are chosen based on their abilities to contribute to the organisation's goals and their capacity to provide an unbiased assessment of those goals and activities.

Youth Ink makes sure it accesses a large and diverse pool of talent and abilities to support the Charity by targeted advertising into skill categories required and to underrepresented groups. When the CEO and current board members receive a candidate's CV, references are contacted, they conduct an interview, a DBS check is performed, and the candidate is appointed to the Board. Although the Board ultimately decides whether to hire a candidate, young people are involved in decision-making with the Board.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUTH INK AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Youth Ink At The Heart Of The Community ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report.

As the Trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 2011 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

YOUTH INK AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes 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 (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Youth ink At the Heart of The Community constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.1 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking grants and contracts and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting funding, and those incurred in other activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

1.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

11

  1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.5 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.6 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.8 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
