Thls introduces them to youih work approaches forworklng wlth young peoplè, so it is not only beneficial for their role In the youth centre. bLrt also IkS great on their CV. particularly if they would like to pursue a career working with children or youThJ people. We directly supported over 7000 young peoplè In total and we are confident that our services irnpacled al least 3,000 mor@ wh I was young@1 I was qui18 8nnoying and l used to Judge people. l also used to laugh at nasty things like less abled people. Bul now I'm a caring and kind person. That's because the yothh workers taught me a litlle bil about rights and wrongs, and they used to talk to me In a way that l understand. and help me see thlngs in a different way and put myself in other people's shoes. If rt wasn't for this yOLrth cenlfe then I Wijuldn't have been able to get my job as easily because a youlh worker has helped me wilte a CV and thls has made me more confident on being le to get job and they helped me vlith practice intervlews. Because I now have a lob I can help my mum as weboth struggle with money sSnce my dad dled, butthe youth workers have l)elp8d me grieve and have alviays ensured l am not hungry. AFtogether this youth centre has niade me a much more mature person because of everything they have done for me and because of Ihls i arTI d Iiiurv Lonfident person gnd I can talk t oih&rs. my self esteem has raised. I've had more opportunitles and they have helped me to get and stay on the rlghl road In life. I'm very thankful for thls youth centre and for the youth workers for all of thelr help. 'Anonymous' YoLrth club has helped mè qultè a lol oyerthe years- I have been coming since I was 13 (l am now 16). my youth worker has 8UPPOrted me wtih relationshlps and everythin9 ieally. There is always Someone the to talk to. If youlh club didn't exlst i'd be at the Skate park doing drnqs or doing Other things that I shouldn't. -alonYMous- The week belore I started chances. I ran away from school, stood on top of a cliff and threatened io lunip. It took the police 3 hours to talk me down. My life was horriblo, I didn't know what to do or whwe to ttirn My hDyfriend beal me up. my family didnt want anything to do with me and my friends betrayed me. Chances changed niy life for the betler, they listened and helped me. I'm now back 8t horne. my life Is saler and I'm happy. I'm able to talk to people and believe they want to help me. I tan trust and I'm willing to accept help_'Ahonymous" Page 8
DYS Space Limited The biggest change since I have been coming to the youth centre is that I know now that I have peopl? tliat I can talk too and Ih31 viill help me. The firstlime I came here I was an angry. rude person who wouldn't talk lo people but Dow that I have been corning more often I feel like I cén deal wtth my problems and that the youth team would help aÈ much as they c2n.11hink If I dldn't start comlng to the youih centre I would still bethat iude angry person I was back1hen. Recenlly I found myselrf homeless and no other solirtions that were available to me, but when I turned up with my surttrase al the youth centre I got the support I needed Irom the youth centre to find accommodation "AnonymDus" We have found the Impact of our SPACE Education Support Service l-l youlh intervention sessions probably the single mogt impacttul element of our efforts to ieduee suspensions. the niajority ol which are among our most vulnerable sludents. I joined this Communlty School in Sept 2022 as Dep(ty Headteacher with the iespor)slbillly of turning the Ihen exlrernely poor and vnsafe school Cuttu and environment 8iound. I knew that ralsing behavioural expectations significantly aThd pidly would require some targeted support Df the more disadvantaged and vulnerable students to scaffold tliern to meet these ralsed expectations. a result of our partnershlp with you Dur suspenslon rate has dropped by 48% from Ihen lo now. During the same period. across the resl ol the counlry, and across Devon11 has been rising. I genuinely believe that this would not have been possible without the engagement and support of your mentors working with our 1argeted young people., Deputy H4ad Teacher A Continuum of Youth Services Hloh qLFallty yOLrth work Is life changlng. It Is deslgnwj to dlsplay soclety's beSlef ihat young people matter. That they belong. Good yDLrth work helps young peDple feèl connected to their communities and therefore resillent to the ups and downs ol life. We know that y<)ung people's vulnerabillties are increased when they arè excluded from educalion. locatlons in their Communitles and lamily networks. These are push, factors that can drlve them into contact with, and find solace in, pred8tcYy groups and situations,. raising thelr level of iisk. YoLrth Work acts as a counlerffleasure to these'push factors.. we"pull' them Into a place of safety and many young people tell us we are tlie only ones in Iheir lives that they trust and canlalkto. Young people are unlque and don't fespDnd well to being 'pigeu) holed,, Iwgeted, or classed as vulnerable. Space Youth Services belleves in the innate ablltty for all young people to navigale their tiansition lo adulUiood if given the right support when needed. Open, oducational, preventative Youth Work. This Is what many see as the heart of youth work It Is voluntary, Informal. and relationshitFbased. Young people engage on thelr own terrns. Thè agenda Is negotiated, and the work unfolds through trust. conversation, and mutual respect using curriculum tools for education, multiple toplcs are dlscussed and tiusted relationships are key. Youth work In this niode Is often grourbded in principles of social justice. particlpation. ar)d personal development with informal education at Its core. You'll find it in youth centres. on the streels. onlirte and in creatiye community-led spaces.ln Ihese setting. due to the nature and deslgn of the seryices provided you will find a high proportiC*n of complex needs being addre5sed- Ihe demographic for'open or preventative youih work. is sti51 pdominatIY made up of young people who h8ve proterted charaderistiC5. generational relative poverty and high levels c>f adverse life wents. including domestlc vlolence. unemployment. alcohol and drug use.

DYS Space Limited Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of DYS Space Limited Opinion We have audited the financial statements of DYS Space Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perform8d, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least e1ve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Page 17
DYS Space Limited Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of DYS Space Limited In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material incon51Stencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to detemine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Trustees, Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements-, and the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we aro requlred to report by exception In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., or certain disr.InsiJrft.s of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made,. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, responsibilities (set out on page 2}, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unleJa thc truotcco Clther intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor responsibilities tor the audit of the flnanclal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditoff s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Page 18
DYS Space Limited Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of DYS Space Limited The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below". We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team, and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The company is subject to laws and regulations that govern the preparation of the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation, and other companies legislation. The company is also subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material impact on the amounts or disclosures within the financial statements, including employment, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and certain aspects of companies legislation. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. In any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintsin professional scepticism throughout the audit. we also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going oncern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to wntinue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, Structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with g0Veman regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control.

DYS Space Limited Notes to the Financial Statsments for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 1 Charity status The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The address of its registered office is- 100 Club Wear Barton Road Exeter EX2 7EH 2 Accountlng pollcles Summary of slgnificant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP IFRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Basis of preparation DYS Space Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabililies are initially recognised at historical cost or transaclion value unless otherwise slated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Going concern The trustees consider that there are no material UnrtaIntieS about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concem nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. Page 24
DYS Space Limited Notes to the Financial Statsments for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference beeen the proceeds, net of transaction costs. and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least e1ve months after the reporting date. Fund structure Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is reslricted to that area or purpose. Page 27
DYS Space Limited Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Pensions and other post retirement obligations Retirement benefits to employees of the Charity are provided by the Teachers, Pension Scheme ('TPS') and the Local Govemment Pension Scheme ('LGPS'). These are defined benefit schemes and the assets are held separately from those of the Charity. TPT provide a defined contribution scheme for non-teaching staff and those not eligible for the LGPS. The TPS is an unfunded scheme and contributions are calculated so as to spread the cost of pensions over employees, working lives with the Charity in such a way that the pension cost is a substantially level percentage of current and future pensionable payroll. The contributions are determined by the Government Actuary on the basis of quadrennial valuations using a prospective unit credit method. As stated in the notes to the financial statements, the TPS is a multi-employer scheme and there Is insufficient information available to use defined benefit accounting. The TPS is therefore treated as a defined contribution scheme for accounting purposes and the contributions recognised in the period to which they relate. The LGPS is a funded scheme and the assets are held separately from those of the Charity in separate trustee administered funds. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method and discounted at a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liabilities. The actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and are updated at each balance sheet date. The amounts charged to operating surplus are the current service costs and the costs of scheme introductions, benefit changes, settlements and curtailments. They are included as part of staff costs as incurred. Net interest on the net defined benefit liabilitylasset is also recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities and comprises the interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and interest income on the scheme assets, calculated by multiplying the fair value of the scheme assets at the beginning of the period by the rate used to discount the benefit obligations. The difference between the interest income on the scheme assets and the actual return on the scheme assets is recognised in other recognised gains and losses. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in other recognised gains and losses. 3 Income from donations and legacifrs Unrestricted funds General Total 2025 Donations 24,449 24,449 24,449 Unrestricted funds General Total 2024 Donations 3,534 3,534 3,534 3,534 Page 28

DYS Space Limited Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Teachers, Pension Scheme Introduction The Teachers, Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2014. The TPS is an unfunded scheme and members contribute on a 'pay as you go, basis these contributions along with those made by employers are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament. Valuation of the Teachers, Pension Scheme The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury. The aim of the review is to specify the level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2020 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Capl Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 26 October 2023. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are.. employer contribution rates set at 28.6 % of pensionable pay (this includes an additional 0.8 % following agreement beeen the Departmenl for Education and HM Treasury to delay the increase in employer contribution rates until 1 September 2019, and also includes a 0.08% employer administration charge) total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £262 million, and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £222 million giving a notional past seNice deficit of £39. 8 million the assumed real rate of return is 2.8 % in excess of prices and 2 % in excess of earnings. The rate of real earnings growth is assumed to be 2.2D/o. The assumed nominal rate of return is 4.86 % . The TPS valuation for 2019 determined an employer rate of 23.60/0, which was payable from September 2019. The latest valuation of the TPS is as at March 2020, whereupon the employer contribution rate has increased as per above and was payable from 1 April 201 g. The employer's pension costs paid to TPS in the period amounted to £40,114. A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers, Pensions website. Under the definitions set out in Financial Reporting Standard 102 {FRS 102), the TPS is a multi- employer pension Scheme.
