|Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Approx. 28 volunteers contributed to the work of NTY
during the year. This included support for regular
youth club sessions, help on additional trips and
residentials, and advice and involvement in leading
and managing the charity.|
|Other - contribution made by
local partners||Approx. 31 local agencies worked in partnership with
NTY to support the delivery to young people. This
included voluntary groups, regional charities and
trusts, and local businesses.|
## **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. 281 young people during
the year, including 98 8-11 year olds and 183
12-16 year olds, 148 girls, 130 boys and 48
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. 303
hours through 230 weekly sessions and 16
additional trips and residentials.|
● Activities were held on-site (in 5 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 secure its
ongoing centre-based provision and to begin to
expand to new centres in line with its five-year
strategic vision. To secure the achievements listed in
the previous section, NTY:
●
appointed 3 Sessional Youth Support Workers
●
adapted session age-groups to accommodate
increasing numbers of young people safely
●
prioritised term-time provision to reflect the
wishes and needs of young people
●
initiated a new club in Humshaugh, in
partnership with Humshaugh Parish Council.|
|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. £78,716
from grants and legacies. This enabled us to increase
our staff cover for regular sessions (allowing us to
increase numbers of young people and manage those
larger numbers safely) and plan for the recruitment of
another professional youth worker. It also enabled us
to secure administrative support for a few hours per
week to ensure youth work staff can focus on
provision for the young people.|
|Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|N/A|
|---|---|---|
|Other||We invested £25,000 reserves in a one-year, fixed-
rate savings account to ensure security and to earn a
small amount of interest.|
## **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 - £81,765
●
Expenditure - £59,005
●
Surplus - £22,760
Of this, approx. 67% of our expenditure was spent on
staffing costs and approx. 25% 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 £77,479 (of which, £25,000 is
held in reserves). This will help us to plan for at least
a year’s delivery of services, appoint another
professional youth worker and offer some staff
security, alongside ongoing fundraising. This will
enable us to expand our services to more young
people whilst helping to ‘future-proof’ NTY against
staff changes.|

|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.|

**Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
|
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 2022/23 it also
raised a small amount (approx. £2,943) from young
people’s subs and sales of hoodies. Subs and
activity costs are deliberately set low (or are waived)
to ensure no young person is excluded from NTY
provision.|

objectives including any

|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.|
