## **Structure, Governance and Management**
**Type of governing document:** The charity is governed by a constitutional document. **How the charity is constituted:** Wilmslow Youth is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). **Trustee selection method:** New trustees are appointed by existing trustees in accordance with Wilmslow Youth Constitution (Section 9&10).
The charity trustees meet on a bi-monthly basis and are responsible for the legal compliance, safeguarding, policies and procedures, finance, and strategic direction of Wilmslow Youth. The trustees also directly oversee staff wellbeing and performance, staff remuneration and conduct our annual staff appraisals.
- **Safeguarding:** for this reporting period, David Jackson was appointed as our safeguarding lead, and directly liaises with the Designated Safeguarding Officer, Matt Williamson, and Deputy Safeguarding officer, Jo Stansby, to ensure that our policies and procedures are being adhered to, along with raising any safeguarding issues of concern to the wider trustee body.
- **Finance:** for this reporting period, David Jackson has been appointed as the charity treasurer.
## **Key Executives**
The trustees have delegated the day-to-day management of the charity of the charity to the Chief Executive, Matt Williamson. The CEO manages the other staff members and volunteers, oversees our programmes and activities, coordinates fundraising and manages our partnerships with other organisations.
## **Objects and Activities**
The charitable objects of the CIO are inspired by Christian faith and values and are to act as a resource for young people living in Cheshire by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational, and other activities as a means of:
(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;
(b) advancing education through providing training programmes;
(c) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

## **Risks and Uncertainties**
The trustees and management team keep a formal record of all major strategic, operational and financial risks to the Charity using a Risk Register. Risks are monitored, reviewed and mitigated on an ongoing basis. Wilmslow Youth has sufficient insurances, including public liability insurance, to cover all activities and events.
## **Summary of Main Activities**
Over the past year, the reach and impact of our core services for young people have continued to grow, with demand for our services remaining high. We have enjoyed the continued privilege of working alongside hundreds of young people and families, offering spaces and services to help young people to build friendships, grow in confidence and resilience, and access impactful, evidence-based mental health support.
Our working relationships with Wilmslow United Reformed Church, Life Church Wilmslow, Wilmslow High School, Wilmslow Health Centre and Just Drop-In have continued to enable a vital and highly impactful partnership approach to meeting needs.
## **Wilmslow Youth Café**
The Wilmslow Youth Café is our drop-in space for young people which opens three afternoons each week. The café is a vital ‘front door’ to Wilmslow Youth, with many coming to make friends, relax and enjoy the community they find there, and in doing so they have a support network available to them if they ever need it. Often, young people who build rapport and trust with our staff and volunteers at the café go on to receive support through our wellbeing groups and counselling services as needed, making the café an ideal introduction support and an effective wrap around service for those who access more help. The use of the sports hall to run badminton sessions as part of the café has continued to make an enormous difference to the feel of the session, helping the Undercroft café to be a safe, relaxed space for young people who want a quieter environment or a place to talk to a trusted adult. The café is also a thriving community hub too, with visits from schools, police, arts groups, community groups, and a couple of visits from our local Member of Parliament. We had 300 different young people attending the café this year (plus many more to our other groups and activities).
5
## **Counselling and Mentoring**
This year we sustained all elements of the service that we expanded last year, with over 1000 free counselling appointments accessed by young people and families from our local community. This continues to be a highly impactful service with consistently significant demand. One way we measure the impact of this provision is through the “Core” system to measure levels of distress. “Core” is a selfassessment tool which the young person fills out at the start and end of the counselling process, and it gives them a score of 0-40, with 40 representing the highest levels of distress. On average this year, we saw a reduction in this score of 10.80 after counselling, representing a clinically significant change.
Alongside the numeric data, we find the difference our clients describe in their anonymous feedback paints a powerful picture of the impact it has for them:
## **One of our young clients said:**
_“It’s made an enormous difference-I’ve got myself back after feeling like I’d lost all my confidence & now much more able to deal with life. I felt very low and in a dark place overwhelmed by everything but can now rationalise my thoughts and feelings.”_
## **A parent client said:**
_“I've found counselling to be challenging for sure but in a good way. It has given me a space to be able to explore in an open environment with no judgement what is in the rooms in my brain that I don't go into. For that reason, I've had to admit things and come face-to-face with things that I really didn't want to. But this has all been couched within the context of support and safety. It has made a huge difference to me. I have grown a lot and I have learnt lots about myself. I've step-by-step started to put things into practice and start to redress some of the lies I've believed about myself and give myself permission to rest and understand why I was feeling so lost.”_
Our partnership with another local charity, ‘Just Drop-In’ (JDI), continued this year as they also use the Undercroft space in Wilmslow URC to offer additional free counselling for young people. We host the JDI counsellors who work in counselling rooms adjoining the Wilmslow Youth Café after school on Thursdays.

## **Primary School Support**
Our primary support project offers targeted early intervention help through small group support, wholeclass sessions, and parental support. Through deepening our partnership with local primary schools and responding flexibly to the needs of each year 6 cohort, this project continues to be hugely impactful for the young people, with outcomes including reduced anxiety and improved school attendance.
The work that begins in each of the individual primary schools bridges across to continue at Wilmslow High School, where year 7 students whose needs were identified in the previous term are proactively addressed through small group catch ups, one to one mentoring as they settle into secondary school, and collaborative work with their new teachers to maximise their chances of starting their secondary school journey with positivity and confidence. This service now reaches 350 young people every year, and helps over 40 of them with bespoke support.
## **Alternative Education Provision**
10 young people engaged with our Alternative Education provision throughout this year as we continue this provision in partnership with Wilmslow High School. These young people are often entirely disengaged from mainstream education due to their experience of mental and emotional ill-health. They work one-to-one with our team to overcome the unique challenges they may be facing and to build their confidence and resilience. In our previous report, we noted our consideration of a grouptherapy approach if there was a wait for places at this provision, but we were able to manage the waiting list through partnering with other provisions, enabling us to continue the one-to-one approach.
This service was highly impactful, showing an average improvement in mainstream school attendance by 22%, significantly higher than other approaches with the same students. Crucially, every young person who engaged with the provision self-reported a positive difference to their own confidence, skills and emotional wellbeing.
7
## **Wellbeing Groups & Workshops**
Our wellbeing groups have continued to benefit from some great partnership projects with local artists, mental health professionals and charities, including an extended project with the local National Trust team at Quarry Bank Mill. Our primary workshop, Scope, has run every Thursday evening, providing a hot meal and practical workshop aimed particularly at 11 to 13-year-olds to help them build confidence, friendships and the tools and skills needed to thrive in their wellbeing.
These groups are the bridge between our community services and therapeutic services, playing the role of both an open access early help provision, and an effective wrap around support for those whose counselling support is coming to an end.
## **Parenting Courses & Groups**
In October and November 2024, we ran a six-week parent course aimed at parents of teenagers. We used ‘Parentalk - The Teenage Years’ which is an informal DVD-led resource from Care for the Family, allowing parents to hear a perspective from teenagers, views of other parents and advice from several experts who work with teenagers. The course was facilitated by Lynne Leng who is a volunteer for Care for the Family, a retired teacher and a Wilmslow Youth Trustee. Ten parents attended the course of whom three were men which is a greater proportion than usual.
Each session worked through key issues faced by parents of teenagers and aims:
1. To increase confidence in the skills and abilities of parents.
2. To help develop a better relationship between parent and teenager.
3. To teach skills in helping teenagers become more emotionally secure and raising their selfesteem.
4. To identify effective ways to bring discipline into the relationship.
5. To discuss a variety of big issues which affect the whole family and help the teen make good choices.
6. To encourage mutual support between parents attending the course.
7. To provide ‘tools’ for a good working relationship with the teenager’s other parent or carer.
8
An additional week included ‘Left to their own devices?’ (Care for the Family) which focused on parenting in a digital age, looking at both the positive and negative effects of being online.
All courses were well-received by the parents who expressed more confidence in their role and felt more relaxed in the realisation that all parents were encountering similar issues in today’s society.
## **Summary of Main Achievements**
Across all areas of our work, this year has shown again the effectiveness of our joined-up, relationshipcentred approach can be for young people and families in our community. The breadth of need continues to be significant, but the commitment of our team, volunteers, partners and supporters has meant that young people have been able to access consistent, meaningful and often life-changing support. From open-access spaces, to targeted early-help projects, to specialist mental health services, each strand of our work has contributed to a wider network of care that young people can access according to their unique needs.
The scale of engagement across our services, whether through counselling appointments, wellbeing groups, mentoring support or school-based interventions, reflects the rising pressure young people face, but also the trust the local community places in what we do. The outcomes we have seen this year, both numerical and personal, reinforce the importance of sustaining this provision and continuing to adapt as needs evolve. The strong partnerships we hold with local schools, churches, charities and community groups remain central to this, enhancing our capacity and allowing us to offer a level of support that no single organisation could deliver alone.
As we look ahead, our expectation is that demand will continue to be high, and the challenges young people in our community face will continue to shift. We will continue to work in a robust, responsive and person-centred way in the year ahead.
## **Partnerships**
Wilmslow Youth has organisational partnerships in place for delivering our services to young people. The key partnerships are:
## 1. **Wilmslow United Reformed Church & Life Church Wilmslow**
These two churches have been instrumental in both the initial establishment and long-term success of our work, funding the initial feasibility study and offering significant support long term through finances, volunteers, promotion, and practical support. As part of this support, Wilmslow United Reformed Church provides us with the use of the refurbished Undercroft space on their premises, enabling the delivery of the majority of our core services.
## 2. **Wilmslow High School**
Wilmslow High School is a key partner in our coaching and education provisions. We deliver some of our work in the school itself, and work in close collaboration with the staff members to identify need and offer targeted support to those who need it most. The school are also excellent
9
supporters of our work generally and help to raise the profile of our other activities to ensure maximum engagement with the young people in our community.
## 3. **Just Drop-In**
JDI is a well-established and respected local charity offering counselling to young people in our area. As well as providing the professional therapists for our counselling service in Wilmslow, they also partner with us for Mental Health First Aid training and other events.
## 4. **Significant contributors:**
We had some significant contributors to our work this year through generous grants and donations provided. We would like to note our particular thanks to (in alphabetical order):
- **Children in Need**
- **Co-op Community Fund**
- **Garfield Weston Foundation**
- **Life Church Wilmslow**
- **PLR Trust**
- **Wilmslow United Reformed Church**

## **Financial Review**
## **Financial Overview**
We have had a successful year of building the financial resilience of the charity through diversifying our income in response to what has become an increasingly challenging climate for fundraising in our sector. We were awarded £37,450 (including £23,934 Deferred Income to 2025/26) in new grant funding towards the ongoing provision of our Wilmslow Youth Café and various mental health support focused provisions for young people. We also held £12,750 in previously received grant finance that was deferred to this financial year. We have continued to be supported this year by our local Church partners who have contributed £26,827 in regular donations. Wilmslow United Reformed Church have also donated the use of the Undercroft and Church Halls space for many of our activities. During the financial year, we received business donations from our ‘Champions of Wilmslow Youth’ of £6,810 and individual donations from our ‘Friends of Wilmslow Youth’ of £7,141. Our total income for the year was £121,411, down from £185,941 in the previous year. This includes £17,303 for the provision of mentoring, counselling and alternative education for Wilmslow High School.
Expenditure during the year of £143,773, was in line with expectations. The major expenditure in the year were employee costs for the 1 full time and 4 part time employees.
The Wilmslow Youth Café operation would not have been possible without the donated time from our 32 volunteers, who between them donated circa 2,235 hours of time over the period. This equates to an equivalent cost of circa £27,290 that is not recognised in our accounts. We expect the level of volunteering to continue at a similar level next year.
Although the charity’s year-end cash balance remains healthy at £74,626, comfortably above our reserves policy level, our retained funds decreased from £73,046 to £50,683 during 2024/25. This reduction reflects the fact that we used some of our accumulated surpluses to support service delivery and operational costs during the year. We continue to monitor our financial position closely. Even with the reduction in retained funds, we remain above our reserves target and are taking steps to rebuild surpluses in future years. We have also deferred restricted funds of £21,393.
The charity maintains a detailed Risk Register, which is reviewed and updated on a regular basis in conjunction with the Trustees. This helps us to monitor those key risks which could impact the finances of the charity.
## **Charity Reserve Policy**
The trustees aim to hold uncommitted, unrestricted funds in reserve, equivalent to 6 months of operational costs. Our monthly operational costs are approximately £11,160, which require us to hold at least £66,900 in reserves. At 31[st] March 2025, our overall retained funds are £50,684, which are all unrestricted.
Our goal remains one of continuing to diversify our income and prioritise long-term sources of funding to ensure we can support our community in a consistent, reliable, and effective way.

## **Charity Number 1182727**
## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Wilmslow Youth (“The Trust”)**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes, as set out on pages 4 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s 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.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
- have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31[st] March 2025**
## **1) Accounting Policies**
## **a) Basis of Accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared under the Historical Cost Convention, with items recognised at cost or transactional value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of
Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **b) Income**
All income is recognised and included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of the income can be measured reliably.
Grants and donations are only included within the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.
Gift Aid receivable is included as income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation, unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Contractual income and performance-related grants are only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services, or met the performance-related conditions.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.
## **c) Expenditure and Liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not, there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Deferred income has been provided where grant funding has been received within the year to be applied to expenditure to be incurred after the year end.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
## **d) Assets**
Debtors including trade debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
16
## **e) Volunteer Help**
Donated time from volunteers is not recognised as income or expenditure in the SoFA. The trustees estimate the value of such volunteer time as circa £27,290 for the 2024/25 financial year.

During the year, the charity reviewed the classification of certain brought-forward balances within the accounting system. As a result, the grant of £12,750 previously shown within restricted funds has been reflected within unrestricted income for the previous year, to present the funds in line with their intended use. These funds were all used during 2024/25 financial year, solely to support WY Café, as originally agreed with the grant donor.
