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. Of these approx. 8 were

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. 231 young people during
the year, including 99 8-11 year olds and 132
12-16 year olds, 122 girls, 104 boys, 5 non-
binary and 74 young people with additional
needs.
●
The number of young people with additional
needs has increased significantly (an approx.
54% increase).
●
The young people came from a large rural
catchment (approx. 1053 sq km) of mostly
small settlements (33 villages and 31 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 7 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:
●
increased the hours and responsibilities of the
Youth Development Worker to take on more of
a leadership and managerial role
●
appointed an additional part-time Youth
Worker and an additional part-time Youth
Support Worker
●
appointed an additional Sessional Youth
Support Worker (total = 4)
●
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
●
took on full responsibility for the
Kirkwhelpington Youth Club
●
piloted a new club in partnership with Kielder
Primary School
●
supported more young people to take on
leadership roles within sessions.
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 raised
approx. £46,145 from grants and legacies. Combined
with substantial funds raised in the previous financial
year, this enabled us to secure additional youth work
staff (for direct work with young people),
administrative support from a self-employed
contractor and financial support from a local
accountancy firm. NTY secured grants from new
sources, such as the National Lottery Fund (working
in partnership with other Northumberland youth
groups), and obtained funding from returning funders.
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 N/A
Other We set aside reserves of £25,000 and invested them
in a 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 - £52,677
●
Expenditure - £72,780
●
Debit for the year - £20,103 – but we carried
forward a significant sum from 2022/23 – see
below.
Of this, approx. 69% of our expenditure was spent on
staffing costs and approx. 28% 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 £57,376 (of which, £25,916 is
held in reserves). This will help us to offer staff
security for a year’s delivery of youth clubs,
alongside ongoing fundraising.
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 £25,916
Reasons for holding zero

Details of fund materially in

Explanation of any
uncertainties about the

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 grantmaking trusts and organisations. In 2023/24 it also raised a small amount (approx. £2,791) from young people’s subs and sales of hoodies and approx. £2,944 payment for activities (e.g., towards residentials and trips). Subs and activity costs 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.
A secondary risk is if current trustees resign. We are
continually advertising to increase trustee numbers.
Other
