CHAIR'S REPORT
Legacy's support for young people has never been more needed. OnSide'5 annual study into young people'5 lives outside
of school shows that 80% of young people spend most of their free time at home. 26% of young people surveyed say they
have stopped doing the things they love, like sports, dancing, music lessons and hanging out with friends as a direcr result
of the cost of living crisis. 69% 01 young people said they had real concerns that their families won't be able to buy food or
pay the bills as well as the stark reality that 50% 01 young people report high or very high anxiety due to cost of living
worries. Clearly, young people need to have access to high quality universal youth services.
Over the last 12 months the Youth Zone was vi51ted 36,417 times by young people to take part in a wide range ol different
activities and to engage with our Youth Workers. Young people visit the Youth Zone frorn across all wards of the borough
land beyond) and we are committed to ensurinB that all young people are included at Legacy. The support for young
people ha5 been extended beyond our centre based universal offer to outdoor residential programme5, growing our young
leaders projett and offering a holiday club for young people aged 8-12. Our activities help young people grow in
confidence and have fun within a safe environment. They are delivered by an incredible team of Youth Workers lsome of
whom are volunteer51 who 5UPPOrt young people to develop into healthy and happy mernber5 01 the community. There
have been $0 many wonderful highlights to the year* young people have had many arnazinE experiences thanks to the
Youth Zone team.
I'm incredibly grateful to Legacy Youth Zone's dedicated group of Trustees who have provided a high level of support and
challenge over the last year. I w8nt to take this opportunity to express my gr8titude to three Trust&es who h3ve r&tired
from their role5 over the last few month5. Both Rupa Patel and Mark Byrne re518ned from their role5 in April 2023
following 5 years of service and valued contributions to the Charity. I'm also thankful to Bushra Ahmed who resigned from
h&r rol& as a Trustee in April 2023 following one year of support for the Charity. It is irnportant that our board continues to
evolve, provide new insight and perspective and Seeks to be reflective ol the community that we Serve. I've been delighted
to welcome Simon Culpeper, John Trayfoot, Jay Amin, Ksenia Karpenko and Indy Chatwal to the board in recent months
and we're looking forward to their positive contributions continuing to help to guide our work in the coming years. Our
board has been actively working on strengthening our governance alongside other Youth Zone5 in the network. This has
created opportunities for us to reflect on how we support the Charity and ensure its future success.
It's great to be an independent Charity to ensure we can respond to the need5 of local young people and the wider
community but we are also proud to be part of the Onside network of Youth Zones nationallyi soon be 22 in total.
Nation311y we will be engaging with 100.000 young people as a network. Over the past year Leg3ry Youth zone has
continued to benefit in a multitude of way5 from it5 membership of the Onside network, m05t notably our income from
network wide supporters has grown significantly. Onside has been able to use its growing reach as a national Charity to
secure p3rtnerships with companies that Want to invest in the d&velopment of young people across the country. Youth
Zones are well placed to deliver this work and we're looking forward to more ol these types of opportunitie5 benefiting
Croydon's young people through Legacy.
Legacy Youth Zone has very special lunders, many of whom have supported us since inception. We are extremely grateful
to our original Founder Patrons for everything they have done and continue to do for Legacy. Their commitment to young
people and our Charity ha5 been unwavering which is truly inspiring lor all ol u5 connected with the Youth Zone. We have
also benefitted from significant support from the Onside Foundation and we continue to work hard to introduce new
donors to the organisation, a challenge that we pride ourselves on achieving, for the benefit of young people. Thank you to
every single funder who contributed to our work over the last year, your commitrnent and dedication to young people has
been a source of hope and optimism for us all.
After 5 years of service to the Charity, Barnabas Shelbourne stepped down as CEO in September 2023. We are all very
grateful to Barnabas for his hard work 3nd commitment to Leg3ry and wish him the very best for the future. Gavin Evans
took on the challenge of becoming the first CEO in the network to permanently lead two operational Youth Zones when he
took over at Legacy, whilst continuing to lead Future Youth Zone in 8arking and Dagenham. This has enabled us to share
b&5t practice, encourage communication b&tween p&er5 3nd in some are3s combine resources. Myke Catt&rall becam&

In 2024 our outgoing resources decreased by £346,147 cornpared to 2023 rnainly due to a significant reduction in our staff
costs for the year. This reduction was made to ensure that the Charity was able to serve the young people of Croydon for
future periods whilst continuing to maximise the use of our building. The Charity benefitted from a significant reduction in
energy c05t5 compared to the year before due to a more favourable fixed term contract. However. as the building itself is
now over 5 years old we have experienced increased premises costs which we expect to be ongoing in the coming years.

1.3 Flnanclal revlew Icontlnuedl
Our incoming resources increased compared with 2023 which was mainly due to our increased performance in achieving
incorne from grants, trusts and foundations. A key component of the increase in this area is the ability of the Onside
Network to attratt support as well as increased success of our fundraising team in this particular income stream. Our
performance in this area has helped the organi5ation with the ongoing transition in reliance to 3 broader group of funders.
Our 2024 results continue to provide evidence that the Charity is able to achieve significant levels of incorne during
challenging economic periods but we remain mindful of the decrease of income from our initial supporters. In 2024-25 we
expect our end of year position to be consistent with 2023-24.
Funding for the ongoing operating cost5 of the Youth Zone 15 spread acr055 a number of sources including the original
Founder Patrons. Other potential supporters are regularly sought and engaged with. We also continue to develop our
fundraising efforts to secure grants from Trusts and Foundations, community and corporate fundraising. Other income is
derived from young people'5 membership fees. 5e55ion fee5150p'51 and calé sales where pricing 15 aligned with the Onside
Youth Zone Network Agreement to ensure affordability for younz people. In recent years we have also grown the income
d&rived from working in partnership with likeminded organisations to ensure that children and young people can benefit
from our facilitie5 during the daytime.
Investmentpowers undpolky
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charitable company has the power to make any investment which
the Trustees see fit. Investments are made where required to further the aims and objects of the Charity. Currently, the
Charity does not hold any inve5trnents other than cash on deposit with Handelsbanken plc.
Reserve5 polity
The Board of Trustees ol Legacy Youth Zone has established a reserves policy which appropriately reflects the risks to
which the Charity is exposed. In reviewing the potential c05t5 that could arise should a Significant reduction in income be
incurred, the Trustees have determined that it is appropriate for unrestricted, 'free', reserves to be maintained between 3-
6 months.
At 31st March 2024 the Charity has accumulated unrestricted, 'free'. reseNes of £888,720,. this provides cover of 6 months
of operating costs. The Trustees 3Ctively manage Legacy Youth Zone's finances so that an 3dequate level of reserves is
maintained in cornpliance with the re5erve5 policy. The re5erve5 policy doe5 not Consider expenditure which 15 linked tts
restricted projects and therefore covered by restricted funds.
Golng cotrJ¢ern
Given the current position of the Charity with regard5 to unrestricted, 'free', re5erve5 and our ongoing commitment to
continuing to develop fundraising activity in new areas the Trustees are satisfied that the Charity fulfils the criteria for the
going concern principle.
This conclusion is also derived following the regular, detailed review of th& forecasted impact of the rising cost of living
which continue5 to be reviewed by the Trustee5 on an ongoing ba515. We have rnodelled forecast cash flow for thi5 period
taking account of current cash balances and expected income and expenses.
The Trustees are able to report that the Charity maintains a positive unrestricted, 'free', reserve and this alongside
generou5 pledge5 by existing and new supporters ensures that the Charity holds an optimistic yet cautiOU5 financial
outlook.
The Trustees are alert to the continued impact of inflationary pressures, limited employee pool and other external
environment factors which may affect the long-term sustainability of the Charity,. therefore are supporting the
Management Team to drive ambitious plans relating to the identification and development of new funding streams in the
next year to rnitigate any negative impact.
PrincipolAunding sources &fundrotsing stutement
The Trustees would like to place on record their appr&ciation to all funders of revenue costs associ8ted with Legacy Youth
Zone in 2023-24. These include but are not limited to., Day Lewi5 Pharmacie5, Reedham Children'5 Trust, Henry Riley,

1.4 Plans for the future
Trustee5 Continue to be amt>itious lor young people and the wider community albeit we are con5CIOUs of the impact of the
current economic climate and the influence that this could have on our funding sources. As has been mentioned in the
Aims and Activiti&s section, to navigate through this period the Trustees h8v& made 3 commitment to 8 new 3 year strat&gv
that we are cornrnitted to delivering for the children and young people of Croydon. The strategy will allow u5 to focus our
work behind three strategic airns..
l. To be a Safe, welcorning, and high-qualityyouth provision that 15 led by young people and re5pon5ive to the changing
needs of young people and the community.
To be a value led and inclusive organisation that dedicated people aspire to be a part of and cornrnit to continual
growth.
To be a sustainable organisation which uses its resources responsibly and effectively and has a long-term positive
impact on the local community and environment.
We are confident that remaining focussed on delivering the Strategy will ensure that the Charity Continues to have a
positive impact on children and young people's lives in Croydon.
Restrictedfunds onddeliverycontrocts
The Tru5tee5 acknowledge that the Charity currently has obligations to deliver a nurnber of project5 in partnership with
The Jack Petchey Foundation, Croydon Council, Croydon Churches Housing Association, Big Local Broad Green-Library, The
IGY Foundation, Burberry. UFC, The Onside Foundation, Sport England. Sony Music. Reedham Children's Trust, Onside
Youth Zone5, The Young Londoner5 Fund and Prudence Trust.
These projects enhance our core work and we are grateful to those who have funded restricted projects in 2023-24.
1.5 Public benefrt & volunteer5, contribution
All the acrivities of the Charity were underraken to further its charitable purposes for public benefit. The provision of a
high-quality facility for young people in Croydon responds to 3 clear, ongoing demand frorn young people, parents and
carers and the wider community. Although providing a service to all young people, Croydon Youth Zone will continue to
focus on attendance and participarion by young people across the entire community who will be able to enjoy affordable
access to all the facilities that th& Youth Zone can provide. This will lead to improved 8chievementS 3nd enhanced
aspiratlons amongst young people of the local community. They will be happier. healthier and make more constructive use
of their leisure time which will be of added benefit and value to the borough. Longer term public benefits will include
improved health. reduced crime, enhanced learning and ernployability and greater community cohesion.
The Trustees of Legary Youth Zone believe they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have
due regard to the public benefit guidance published bythe Charity Commission.
Throughout the period all members of the 8oard of Trustees made invaluable voluntary contributions to the Charitws work
in terms of governance, professional and business experience, financial planning, fundr8ising and leading init18tives across
the Youth Zone. Such contributions were, on average, equivalent to one full day each calendar rnonth. Legacy Youth Zone
also has benefitted from voluntary contributions from members of the local community to support work with young
people, d&livery of activities and support with administration and operational activities. Contributions vary in time and
frequency, but all are invaluable to the 5ucce55 01 the Youth Zone.

Legacy Youth Zone utilises a risk register to regularly review risks associated with the Charity. The top risks to the Charity
are shared with Trustees during each board meeting. There are opportunities for Trustees to explore these risks in greater
detail during board meeting5 as well as outside ol the formal meeting structures. A full risk review 15 scheduled at least
once a year. The risk register is maintained by the Charity's senior management team and updated on a regular basis. The
risk register is divided into the following categori&s'.
Str3tegic
Operational
Governance and Reputation
Risks are graded according to the likelihood of occurring and the potential impact to the Charity. This is done both before
and after the addition of control measures. Where appropriate new risks are identified or closed in each section and an
overall score is allocated to each category to allow the Board of Trustees to compare the Management of risk5 to the
Charity over a period of time.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial Statements a5 a whole are free Irotn
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable 8ssurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that 8n audit conducted in accordance with ISAS
IUKI will always detect a material rni55tatement when it exi5t5. Mi55taternents can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expetted to influence the economic

Irregularitie5, including fraud, 3re instances ol non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line
with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of Irregularities, including fraud. The
extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
Identifying and assessing Potential risks related to irregularitie5
In idenrifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respecr of irrezularities including fraud and non-compliance

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members Icontinuedl
For thè year ended 31 Marth 2024
As a result ol these prtscedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for
fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas.. revenue recognition. In common with all audits
under ISAS IUKI, we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of m3nagement override.
We a150 obtained an understanding of the le831 ènd regulatory frameworks that the Charitable Cornpany operates in,
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in thi5 context included UK Cornpanies
Act. Charities Act, Health and Safety Laws and Environmental Regulations.
In addition, we considered provision5 01 other law5 and regulation5 that do not have a direct effect on the financial
statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a rnaterial
penalty.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to risk5 identified included the following..
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting document8tion to assess compliance with
provisions of relevant law5 and regulation5 described a5 having a direct effect on the financial staternent5.'
enquiring ol management concerning 3ctu31 and potential litigation and claim5;
performing analytical procedure5 to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that rnay indicate ri5k5 of
material Misstatement due to fraud,.
reading rninutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC., and
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal
entries and other adjustrnents,. assessing whether the judgements m3de in making accounting estimates ar&
indicative of a potential bias., and evaluating the bu5ine5s rationale of any significant transaction5 that are unusual or
outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members
including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations
throughout the audit.
No instance5 of material non-cornpliance were identified. However, the likelihood ol detecting irre8ularitie5, including
fraud, is lirnited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irreEularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the
nature. timing and extent of the 3udit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently
rnore dillicult to detect than irregularitie5 that result frorn error. As explained above, there 15 an unavoidable risk that
material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with
ISAS IUKI.
A further description of our re5ponsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial 5taternent5 is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at: https'.//www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
Use of our report

Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charitws Members those matters we are
required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law. we do
