Objectives and activities
The charity's main activities
As a charity we create opportunities for change for young people from areas of high deprivation, predominantly within South Leeds. We aim to empower people to discover their potential and actively pursue opportunities to develop their potential and positively improve their lives, whilst enhancing the lives of others.
We engage young people who are surrounded by violence, drug use, stabbings, suicides, criminality and loss as their day-to-day norms. Developing early engagement projects for 7 to 12 year olds and focused projects for 13 to 19 year olds – aimed at those most likely to end up in abusive relationships, prison, jobless or dropping out of school.
We run drop-ins, provide mentoring and community support, run group work, trips, holiday camps and expeditions. We long to see young people’s physical and mental health, as well-as their emotional literacy, life skills, self-confidence, aspirations and life expectations improve.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education.
Achievements and performance
Providing much needed community support. Running weekly consistent activities throughout within NYA guidelines.
Settled into Hillside office space and developing The Loft space as a community hub.
We have received support from funders that lasts longer than 12 months. 3 years youth music funding (150k over 3 years); coop foundation 28k a year for 5 years, up youth 18k for 3 years – so positive sustaining steps.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £9,341, including net income of £23,102 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £13,761 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £36,180.
The purpose of the reserves policy is to protect the continuity of our core work.
We consider the core work to be the continuation of building relationships with and supporting the young people and families with whom we work. Although some of the work we carry out is of huge benefit to these people, we do not consider all of our work as essential; by the measure that, without this work we can continue to meet our charity objectives. Examples of core work that we would consider essential would be: weekly drop in sessions, detached work, home visits, supporting families, working with other professionals, and mentoring work.
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three but no more than six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
If more than six months of expenditure is acquired this money should be either spent or assigned to an upcoming project or investment and not left to accumulate. As we already have a reserves fund, the money should be used to benefit the sustainability of Re:establish or help it meet its objectives.
The accounts and the reserves will be looked at quarterly by the Trustee, usually at the quarterly trustees meeting, to ensure that the reserves are in line with this policy, to identify if any action is needed and those actions discussed and decided upon.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
approved by the board of trustees on 06/08/2023

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Reestablish
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for 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 (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
