Our year in nunibers and stories
Wè delivered 1505 open access sessions In our 9 youth centres we welcomed 2560 young
people from across Devon
We worked wlth young people 515treet based localions and prrJvided 11,000 hours of
youth work provision across our SerVi￿9- thats 304 hours a dty.
85 professional youth wOrk￿S wer&employed and 68 volunteers oave over 2,200 hours of
Iheir timeto young people
We are gralelul to 41 young volunteers viho gave their tlrne to us over the year_ Young
Volunteers complete training, delivered by yO￿h Workers. as part of their induction. 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 I￿kS 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 th￿e 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"

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.,

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.

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.

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 Un￿rtaIntieS 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 be￿een
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.

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.

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 be￿een 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. The charity has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were
a defined contribution scheme. The Charity has set out above the information available on the
scheme.
