The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s memorandum and articles (its governing document), the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006 and “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) (effective 1 January 2019)”. The annual report includes the directors’ report as required by company law. ## **Objectives** The charity exists for young people up to the age of 25 who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, trans or questioning their gender or sexual identity (LGBTQ+). Its charitable objects are, for the public benefit and are for: The establishment in life of young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or unsure of their gender or sexual identity (LGBT+) and are aged less than 25 years, in particular but not exclusively by: (a) providing support and advice which develop their capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals; (b) providing recreational and leisure time activities in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life; (c) raising awareness of issues affecting LGBT+ young people. In producing this report, the Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. ## **Vision** We aim for an inclusive society where LGBTQ+ young people are healthy, happy and celebrated. ## **Purpose** To support and advocate for young LGBTQ+ people across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight by providing safe spaces, education and promoting awareness as a visible, current, inclusive and trusted LGBTQ+ youth charity. ## **Structure, Governance, and Management** Breakout Youth began as a Southampton City Council project in 1993. It then existed as a charity and on 25 August 2018 was incorporated as Breakout Youth. The Trustees are also Directors of Breakout Youth for the purposes of company law. All Trustees of Breakout Youth are volunteers and are recruited after an open application process. The Trustees at all times seek to follow the Charity Commission guidance CC30, ‘Finding new trustees’. Trustees hold office until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in the calendar year of the second anniversary of their appointment but may be re-appointed at that Annual General Meeting. The Trustees are pleased to report that the current Trustee Board comprises a broad spectrum of relevant experience and professional skills to govern the charity effectively; this was further reinforced by the appointment of two new Trustees in the reporting period. Following the resignation of Trustee Bhavin Dedhia Page 4 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ in October 2021, the trustees would also like to take the opportunity to thank him for his service and wish him every success for the future. The Trustees continue to maintain a formal risk review process whereby risks to the charity’s activities are captured, assessed, assigned an owner, and what action is to be taken towards mitigating these risks. This ‘Risk Register’ is reviewed at each meeting of the Trustee Board and a full internal risk assessment is incorporated into the annual planning process. At all times the Trustees give due regard to the Charity Commission guidance CC26, ‘Charities and risk management’. The Breakout Youth Trustee Board meets quarterly; in the reporting period the Trustee Board met four times. Every meeting of the Trustee Board considers reports on the operation of Breakout Youth services and fundraising activities, management accounts, safeguarding, risks to ongoing service delivery, and specific items for decision. Between the quarterly meetings, trustees met in sub-committees including Marketing, Compliance, IT and Management in addition to a strategy & planning away day on 5[th] March 2022 Operational management, including the management of fundraising and employment of staff is sub-contracted by Breakout Youth to No Limits (South), a company limited by guarantee (no. 04183173) and a registered charity (no. 1088835). The Trustees at all times retain oversight and make decisions affecting the delivery of the charity’s objectives. Breakout Youth enjoys a close working relationship with No Limits (South), and this relationship is strengthened by the ongoing Partnership Agreement and Service Level Agreement. Key to Breakout Youth’s activities is providing a safe and secure environment at all of our Groups and other activities for young people. Central to this, safeguarding is a top priority for all Trustees, staff, and volunteers. Safeguarding responsibilities are integrated into all role descriptions; Breakout Youth has a suite of its own policies which are reviewed bi-annually and also adopts best practice policies and procedures from its charity partner, No Limits (South); and at all times the Trustees seek to follow the Charity Commission ‘How to’ guide, ‘Safeguarding children and young people’. Specific measures to ensure effective safeguarding of young people are as follows: - All activities are undertaken by at least two adults including paid staff and trained volunteers in safe locations. - All staff and volunteers working in direct contact with young people are fully and regularly trained in safeguarding; all Trustees attend a safeguarding awareness course which is regularly reviewed. - All Trustees, staff, and volunteers are subject to annual Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service checks to ensure their eligibility for their role. - Safeguarding is integrated into the regular reporting to the Trustees and is a standing agenda item at every meeting of the Trustee Board. ## **Financial Review** Breakout Youth agrees an annual budget which is broadly balanced and designed to provide a year-end surplus to enable Breakout Youth to meet its reserves policy. The Trustees are provided with periodic management accounts at each Trustee meeting, detailing progress and risks against this agreed budget. The Trustees are pleased to report a successful period of fundraising activities which have enabled Breakout Youth to continue their valuable work across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Total income in the period was £180,814, the Trustees are happy with the level of funding achieved for the period allowing sustainable delivery of our services. The Trustees are immensely grateful to individual donors, local community organisations and businesses for their continued support. For the year to 31 March 2022 Income vs Expenditure resulted in a surplus of £44,824 which has been added to our reserves of £71,690 from the previous period, leaving total reserves of £116,514 carried forwards. It is Breakout Youth’s reserves policy that the amount of reserves held should cover the continuation of services for between 3 and 6 months. As of 31 March 2022, the unrestricted free reserves of £67,514 amount to running costs for the charity of just under 6 months; improving on the previous period. In March 2021 the Trustees created a designated “Covid Recovery Fund” of £35,000 to cover ongoing and future costs to support young people over the coming years. The social isolation resulting from lockdowns throughout the pandemic have had a significant impact on the mental health of young people. The trustees have designated these funds to provide extra support over the coming years, especially where there is no Page 5 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ funding for this work. In March 2022 the Trustees created a £14,000 Business Transformation fund to provide some significant and essential investments to take the charity forward. The charity responds to its budgetary constraints by making the necessary changes to the service to ensure that the level of reserves is maintained over the next period. The Trustees will continue to monitor reserves, in line with Charity Commission guidance, and ensure the charity holds an appropriate level of reserves without being needlessly prudent. Expenses include the costs of sub-contracting operational management to No Limits (South) in line with the scale of the charity and venue hire for the youth groups hosted across Hampshire & the Isle of Wight. It is the Trustees’ view that the charity is a going concern. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. ## **Activities, Achievements, and Performance – Our Impact** In delivering its charitable objects, Breakout Youth operates regular youth groups and appropriate ad hoc activities in Southampton, Basingstoke, Test Valley (specifically in Andover), the New Forest (specifically Marchwood & New Milton), and on the Isle of Wight. These groups provide a safe, secure and fun environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or questioning (LGBTQ+) young people. The aspiration of all our activities is to enable young people to: - develop a better understanding of a range of issues which will affect their ongoing development positively : the effects of alcohol and substance use; sexual health; maintaining positive relationships; maintaining positive emotional and mental health; remaining safe and free of the effects of crime, or becoming involved in criminal behaviour; - socialise with fellow LGBTQ+ young people to share experiences in a safe and understanding environment; - raise and maintain their self-esteem and confidence and build their resilience to manage experiences of homophobia, transphobia and hate crime; and - increase their positive outlook on life, their feelings regarding their ability to achieve their aspirations, and their sense of belonging in the community. In the reporting period, Breakout Youth’s activities ran as follows: - Weekly youth groups giving young people the opportunity to socialise, and to focus on specific topics relevant to them (Basingstoke, Southampton, Isle of Wight, Test Valley & New Forest)*; - 1:1 support for young people who may not be ready to access a group or who require a different kind of support. This has been accessed in the areas of Basingstoke, Test Valley, New Forest, Isle of Wight and Southampton.* *Delivery of these services was online & virtually from 27[th] April 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Face to face youth groups commenced from October 2021 in a staggered approach to ensure all groups returned safely and to minimise risk At Breakout Youth, we recognise the UK as a diverse and tolerant society which has been recognised as one of the best countries for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe. However, despite this we know that young LGBTQ+ people continue to face significant challenges and hate crime against them has been rising disproportionately as referenced below. A 2021 study by Galop found that from 1166 LGBTQ+ people surveyed, two-thirds (64%) of respondents had experienced anti-LGBTQ+ violence or abuse. Of those that had experienced anti-LGBTQ+ violence and abuse: 9 in 10 had experienced verbal abuse (92%). 3 in 10 had been subject to physical violence (29%). 2 in 10 had experienced sexual violence (17%).[1] A 2020 study commissioned by Stonewall found that LGBTQ+ young people face specific challenges in addition to wider factors that lead young people in general to be shut out of education, training and work. > 1 Hate Crime Report 2021: https://galop.org.uk/resource/hate-crime-report-2021/ Page 6 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ These include homophobic, biphobic and transphobic discrimination, and a lack of support and inclusion in education, training and work.[2] The 2021 report “Growing up LGBT+” published by charity Just Like Us who run the national initiative ‘School Diversity Week” surveyed 2,934 pupils aged 11-18 (1,140 of whom were LGBTQ+) and 513 educators across the UK and found that 42% of LGBTQ+ pupils had been bullied in the past year - double the number of nonLGBTQ+ pupils (21%).[3] ## **Data Collection, Demographics & Results** Data collected across Breakout Youth’s services is handled by our Charity partner No Limits (South). Records for the period show that we had a total of 11,461 interactions with 365 individual young people across the Charity. From these interactions, 16% of these were attendances at youth groups and other organised events, 29% were email conversations, 52% were text messages with the remainder being telephone calls and letters.

Breakout Youth provided 331 sessions of individual support, up from 79 in 2020-2021, these sessions were delivered at the following locations: |Area:|No. of 1:1 Sessions Delivered:| |---|---| |

This training covered topics of LGBTQ+ Awareness and Inclusion, with a focus on trans awareness and inclusion, each session was based on the needs of the training recipients. Recipients ranged from the Southampton Hate Crime Network, Southampton City Council Fostering Team, Southampton Secondary Schools Mental Health Forum, Isle of Wight (IOW) Early Intervention Team, IOW Learning Disabilities Team, and 12 different local schools and colleges. Throughout the period, a total of 28 LGBTQ+ Awareness Sessions were delivered in the community to a total of 372 young people & 221 adults. The sessions delivered to adults involved 118 Teachers & support staff, 22 Foster Parents, 29 Social work students and 14 learning disabilities workers. ## **Vulnerabilities Identified** A range of vulnerabilities of our young people were recorded when participating in Breakout Youth’s activities during the period, including: - Fear & Risk of Hate Crime - Physical & Sexual Health - Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing - Personal Safety - Relationships & Parenting - Housing, Income & Benefits - Safety planning around Self Harm & Suicidal Ideation ## **COVID-19 Pandemic** The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has resulted in the most widespread public trauma since World War II.[4] Sadly, it is likely to continue to have long term impacts on society, from the economy to the mental and physical health of the nation.[5] Charities like Breakout Youth, who support some of the most vulnerable young people and communities are committed to maintaining our high-quality services and supporting our young people as we emerge from the pandemic. Following the announcement of March 16[th] 2020 by the UK Government advising against "non-essential" travel and contact with others, to work from home if possible and avoid visiting social venues, the Trustees took the decision to close all face-to-face groups temporarily. However, the Charity was able to react promptly and following risk assessments, we were able switch to online virtual delivery of our services including groups and one-to-one support for all our members. This reporting period covers the second year of the pandemic, which included emerging from lockdowns and restrictions and the reinstatement of our face-to-face work with young people. Virtual group delivery continued for the first part of this period, with groups returning to face-to-face delivery, which was staggered to ensure the safety and confidence of both staff, young people, and families. There were several challenges to the recommencement of face-to-face groups, one of which was finding new suitable venues to host some of the groups to fit the current needs of our young people and rebuilding group relationships and dynamics. ## **Covid Recovery Fund** An unintentional outcome of virtual delivery of groups as opposed to in-person groups for some of the reporting period is that cost savings were achieved in areas such as: venue hire, staff travel and group resources. For this reason, in late 2020, the Trustees decided to setup a "Covid Recovery Fund". This fund ringfenced some of these cost savings to be utilised in the coming years to provide additional support to our young people & staff from the impacts of the pandemic. These funds are primarily to be used to provide for: > 4 www.cnbc.com/2021/03/05/who-says-pandemic-has-caused-more-mass-trauma-than-wwii-and-will-last-foryears.html > 5 www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-mental-health-and-wellbeing-surveillance-report Page 11 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ - 1-2-1 counselling of young people - Upskilling & training for staff & volunteers - Qualified counselling & therapy for young people & staff where required - Offering parental support ## **Business Transformation Fund** In addition to the aforementioned Recovery Fund the trustees took the decision to create a “Business Transformation Fund” during this reporting period, this fund will provide for some essential improvements and developments to the charity including: - Development of a new 5-year strategic plan for the charity - Website development to increase & improve online presence and accessibility - Enhanced social branding across different social media platforms. ## **Youth Group Themes** All youth groups delivered during the period were designed around particular themes; themes relevant to young people such as: alcohol misuse, sexual health, science week, environmental issues and human rights. Sessions were also designed around LGBTQ+ specific themes, such as: Pride month, LGBT History month, LGBTQ+ role models, Bisexuality Awareness Day, Trans awareness and Trans Day of Remembrance, Spirit Day and Hate Crime awareness week, Intersex and Asexuality awareness Day and World Aids Day. Due to the experiences of young people throughout the pandemic including lockdowns and restrictions on movement, in addition to school closures and social isolation – tailored sessions were delivered around; mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, cyber safety and security, exam results and returning to school, getting active and reconnecting with their community. ## **Breakout Youth Pride Prom Event** In October 2021, Breakout Youth held a “Pride Prom” event for any young person attending Breakout youth groups. The aim was to host an inclusive event where young people could be their true selves in a safe and supportive environment, meet new people and make friends, but most importantly have fun. Safe & free transport was arranged for all the young people travelling from across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We provided food (allowing for young people’s dietary requirements), a Mocktail Bar, access to age-appropriate sexual health advice, face painting, a nail bar, a Photobooth, board games and arts & crafts activities. 48 young people attended the inaugural Pride Prom event, and following the positive feedback received the event will be held again in 2022. ## **Feedback received** “Breakout Youth has been a safe and friendly place for me for the last three years. The youth workers have always taken extra care to support and understand me. It is this awareness and eye for detail that makes the inclusive space so welcoming. “ “Breakout has increased my confidence and given me a feeling of acceptance plus a growing circle of friends and community.” “Breakout has given me a safe space to explore who I am and given me the chance to learn about the LGBTQ+ community. I have met all of the Breakout youth workers and I like them all a lot. Everyone is really lovely to me and I am so appreciative of them and the volunteers.” - “I’ve been coming to Breakout for the last 4 years. The group means the world to me and is where I met my best friends. This is a place where I feel safe.” - “A safe space, an escape and non-judgmental home. Without Breakout I wouldn't have my beautiful and lovely friends and self-confidence.” Page 12 of 23 Brnakout Youth..

Page 16 of23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ ## **Notes (forming part of the financial statements) for the year ended 31 March 2022** ## **1 Principal Accounting Policies** ## _Charity Information_ Breakout Youth is a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The Charity was incorporated on 25 August 2018 and was registered on 12 October 2018. The assets of the unincorporated Breakout Youth charity were transferred to the incorporated Breakout Youth charity on 1 December 2018. ## _Basis of Preparation_ The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the related notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: applicable to 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 amended on 2 February 2016, and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. ## _Going Concern_ At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have considered that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Thus the Trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. ## _Fund Accounting_ General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of Trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donor or which have been raised by the charity for specific purposed. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund. Designated funds are determined by the Trustees from time to time as being held for specific purposes, for example to hold a reserve “Covid Recovery Fund” in respect of future eventualities such as providing extra support young people following the Covid-19 pandemic where there is limited or no funding. ## _Service Provision_ Income in respect of contractual services provided to other agencies is accounted for in the period in which the service is provided, and is also included under the heading ‘Income from Charitable Activities’. Page 17 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ ## _Incoming Resources_ All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on an accruals basis, except to the extent that grants receivable must be applied to future periods of expenditure, or are contingent on future requirements being fulfilled. Grants receivable are allocated to accounting periods on the basis of which amounts are claimed from funders. This predominantly relates to the incurring of expenditure. Grants are classified as ‘Voluntary Income’ when they are general in nature in support of the charity’s objects, as opposed to ‘Contract Income’ where funding is closely linked to agreed project outputs. ‘Contract Income’ is classified under ‘Income from Charitable Activities’ along with income from discreet activities for which a fee is charged, e.g. specific work carried out in schools. ‘In-Kind’ contributions or services donated to the charity are normally valued at cost (as determined by the donor) or a reasonable estimate of actual cost if such information is unavailable. Income is deferred if the funder has expressly stated that grants are to be applied to future accounting periods, or if there is some expectation from the funder that amounts in connection with the grant should be repaid in future periods. Grants receivable in respect of fixed assets are included in the SOFA in the period in which they are received in accordance with the SORP. ## _Expenditure_ All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer resources. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources in the SOFA. Expenditure subject to VAT which is not recoverable is shown inclusive of VAT. Apportionment of costs across headings of the SOFA is carried out in relation to claims for grant funding. A method based on the allocation of staff time is used for revenue expenditure on direct project activities, premises and management and administration. Costs are allocated to the Governance category where they cannot be clearly allocated to project activities or are of a strategic nature, e.g. insurance and legal expenses. ## _Cash and cash equivalents_ 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. ## _Financial Instruments_ The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _Basic financial assets_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _Basic financial liabilities_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Page 18 of 23 _Breakout Youth: Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements – for the year ended 31 March 2022_ Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _Derecognition of financial liabilities_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## _Key estimates and judgements_ The trustees consider that there are no material areas of judgement or estimation uncertainty. ## **2 Incoming Resources** |Grants
