## **Report of the Directors (including the Trustees' Report) For the year ended 30 June 2023**
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS 102) issued in 2015 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The charity is a charitable company and is limited by guarantee. The charity's governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which restricts the charity's operations to all lawful acts as are necessary or incidental to its Objects.
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable compay and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statement;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The trustees have responsibility to direct the charity's affairs in such a way as to promote the Objects.
## _Day to day management_
The day to day management of the charity is carried out by the Chief Officer, responsible to the Executive Committee made up of the trustees of the company.
General meetings are held each term to discuss matters and for decision making. Meetings are carried out in line with the Articles of Association of the company.
Other major roles in the charity include the finance director/deputy chief officer who performs accounting duties.

## **Structure, governance and management continued**
## _Recruitment and training of trustees_
Trustees are recruited based on their knowledge and experience in the services the charity provides to meet its objectives. No formal training is provided to new trustees given their existing knowledge. Training is available should it be required.
## _Risk management_
The board of trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of controls, financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records, for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that:
- The charity is operating efficiently and effectively
- The assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition
- Proper records are maintained and financial information used within the charity reliable
- The charity complies with relevant laws and regulations
## _Risk review_
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and appropriate systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have lead to the development and implementation of a strategic plan. This will allow for the re-direction of funding and some activities.
Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are constantly reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
## **Objectives and activities**
The charity's objectives as stated in the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association are principally for the benefit of the community in the area surrounding the centre.
## _Education_
-To advance the education of underprivileged young people and those disengaged with the mainstream schooling system in South Yorkshire
-To increase attendance and achievement rates in students who have struggled in mainstream schooling.
## _Behavioural and Social Skills_
-To work with young people to combat behavioural issues through shorter working days with a focus on physical activities to combat issues such as anger and agression, health, team building and health. -To reinforce of introduce good social skills by going out into the community and to unfamilar environments and encouraging positive interaction with the public.

## **Objectives and activities continued**
## _Other_
- To promote any other charitable purpose.
## _Equal opportunities_
In furtherance of the Objects the charity shall at all times take into consideration the principles of equality of opportunity irrespective of age, gender, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability.
## **Public benefit**
The trustee confirm that they have paid due regards to the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding which activities Dearne Valley Personal Development Centre should undertake.
The charity works with young people with discrete learning and behavioural needs. These people struggle to have their needs met by conventional education and so the charity provides them with an alternative to help them get back on track and discover a sense of self worth. The charity has seen high success rates in the areas of attendance and acheivement as well as an improvement in social skills and increased confidence amongst its pupils.

Annual Chairs Report
I am happy to introduce DVPDC Annual report which sets out our achievements over the last year and our plans for the future.
We work with the most disadvantaged young people and continue to offer schools and social setting a safe working environment for their pupils. We hope that every young person gains a sense of self-worth and makes progress.
I am pleased to confirm that the move to the first floor in the Empress Buildings has been a very positive. The space is well used, and the open plan layout ensures the safety and support of staff and students together.
One of our aims this year was too to broaden our service and to reach out to other young people, while acquiring new funds to help with the sustainability of the project. This has included:
- Active habits CIC, using the facilities one day per week, providing regular funds for DVPDC.
- Holiday activity and food activity work for children aged 6 – 16 during the school holidays. This was a great success and we received positive reviews from many parents. We hope to continue this provision in the future.
- Funding through the South Yorkshire PCC to provide a youth session each week tackling crime and antisocial behaviour. We are looking forward to seeing this developing and meeting other new young people.
Our new and improved website ensures that parents, schools and young people can access information. We have also made sure that prospective funders and investors are able to navigate the site easily.
We are delighted to be joined by a new member of staff. Adam has been recruited to provide the necessary backup on our busy days and to cover staff absence. He has fitted in well with the team and engages positively with the students. Adam has worked in the care sector but has lots of experience in health and fitness.
I would like to thank the trustees, staff and young people for their dedication this year. We are looking forward to next year as we continue to develop and adapt.

## **On Behalf of the Board:**
Mr J J Irwin Trustee
Date: 30.09.2023

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Dearne Valley Personal Development Centre For the year ended 30 June 2023**
We report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 set out on pages 7 to 15.
## **Retrospective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145(1) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to;
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and
- to state whether the particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respects the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the method and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No. 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statement on the grounds that the charity is small.
