Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	● NTY reached approx. 265 young people during the year, including 142 juniors, 123 seniors, 131 girls, 130 boys and 13 young people with additional needs. ● The young people came from a large rural catchment (approx. 1032 sq km) of mostly small settlements (18 villages and 21 farms), reflecting NTY’s priority of targeting young people who are rurally isolated. ● To achieve this, NTY delivered approx. 281 hours through 180 weekly sessions and 18 additional trips and residentials. ● Activities were held on-site (in local centres) and off-site, both locally and regionally. These included arts and crafts, drama and dance, physical activities, environmental activities, heritage activities, outdoor and adventurous activities and leadership development. ● The benefits to young people included personal development (e.g. confidence and resilience), social development (e.g. friendship and belonging), health and wellbeing (physical and mental/emotional), learning and life skills that support their education and employability, and citizenship and sense of contributing to their community.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	NTY objectives for the year were to consolidate its foundation as a newly established charity and to re-engage young people in the face-to-face delivery that was affected during the Coronavirus pandemic. To secure the achievements listed in the previous section, NTY:

		● Increased the Youth Development Worker hours (from 22 to 30 per week) ● Recruited a Youth Support Worker (9 hours per week) ● Appointed a session-specific Youth Support Worker for the 14-18s group ● Supported a trainee youth worker from Sunderland University. Additionally, NTY drafted a strategic vision to extend and enhance provision from 2022 onwards.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	NTY did not have a specific fundraising target, other than to secure funds for the above staffing, but exceeded expectations by raising approx. £37,000 from grants and legacies. This will be used to expand provision in 2022/23.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	During the financial period (using rounded figures from our annual return): ● Income - £50,800 ● Expenditure - £48,950 ● Surplus - £1,851 Of this, approx. 62% was spent on staffing costs and approx. 30% on direct delivery/activity costs, showing that almost all of our income directly impacts on the young people with whom we work. In terms of financial security and trying to ensure sustainability of our services, our cash balance at the end of the period is £54,720 (of which, just over half is held in reserves). This will help us to plan for at least a year’s delivery of services whilst offering some staff security, alongside ongoing fundraising. Funds raised in addition to our current needs will be used to expand our services to more young people.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	● NTY aims to retain sufficient financial reserves to protect against failure to meet fundraising targets, unforeseen costs and general business risk.

		● The medium-term aim is to hold sufficient unrestricted financial reserves to meet 6 months’ running costs.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£25,934.60
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	N/A
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	N/A
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	N/A

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	NTY’s principal source of funding is from grant-making trusts and organisations. In 2021/22 it also raised a small amount (approx. £1,355) from young people’s subs. These are deliberately set low (or are waived) to ensure no young person is excluded from NTY provision.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	N/A
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	NTY’s principal risk would be failing to secure sufficient funding to employ a youth worker to manage and run delivery to the young people. Trustees monitor this carefully and adapt staffing to suit.
