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.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |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.| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|N/A| |Other||| ## **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|●

reserves to protect against failure to meet
fundraising targets, unforeseen costs and

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

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
