Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 living in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Harrow and Hillingdon by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:

(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;

(b) advancing education;

(c) relieving unemployment;

(d) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

lgnite's vision is is a community where young people can turn adversity into advantage.

Our mission is to engage, empower and transform young people by creating positive communities of change based around their interests and needs. We do this through: - offering activity and education based programmes which engage young people - building positive relationships and mutual support to empower individuals - raising expectations for the future to transform lives for the long term.

We work with young people aged 11-25 in the London Borough of Harrow and surrounding areas.

Communities of change occur when people are committed to respect, support and encourage each other, irrespective of background, culture or belief. These positive relationships (communities) form the foundation of a healthy society. They change individuals and they encourage change in their linked communities of family, friends, school and neighbourhood. We do this through:

Objectives, strategies and activities

Our interventions include:

During the past year we have delivered 378 activities to 201 young people and we have assisted over 40 young people better prepare for the world of work. We provided mentoring to 108 young people.

Youth workers have been able to deliver weekly detached outreach youthwork in the local community and Ignite has delivered a total of eight workshops in local schools.

In addition, lgnite has worked directly with over 24 parents and carers to help increase the impact of our work with young people.

Our work included;

Mentoring

108 young people received mentoring support, both in the community and in local schools. Delivery was face-to-face and virtually.

Football

Young people have been able to access weekly football sessions at local venues such as the Beacon Centre in Rayners Lane and Harrow School.

Harrow United FC

Four young people were able to participate in a local football league for the season. They attended games and training sessions but also worked with their youth mentors to explore employment and training.

Boxing

Young people have been able to participate in two weekly boxing sessions being run in Wealdstone. The session is a mix of children of different age ranges, many have come via referrals from social services or encountered by youth workers on detached in the local area. Some of these young people have progressed to training with a local amateur boxing club.

Gym Sessions

Young people were able to take part in early morning gym sessions, helping them to stay fit but also get into the habit of getting up early.

Employment

Young people who are part of the employability programme receive a weekly newsletter, which consists of a collection of news, opportunities, and an update on our events and work in London's youth sector. There has been a high uptake in subscribers, and we have approximately 40 young people on the mailing list.

Page 3

Ignite Youth

Trustees' Report

During the Summer young people participated in a project that focused on key skills needed for employment, the young people produced two employability videos at the end of the project.

Maths Tuition

We have been able to provide one young person who is struggling at school with weekly Maths tuition.

Workshops in Schools

Students in Harrow schools have participated in a series of workshops. These were targeted at year 9 and 10 pupils in three of the boroughs schools, and covered topics such as consent, mental wellbeing and future aspirations.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Joint Message from Chair of Trustees and Executive Director

This was a year of renewal, rebuilding and reinvention at Ignite.

The pandemic provided many challenges around how we would continue to meet the needs of our stakeholders whilst operating through so much uncertainty, however we remained steadfast in our mission ‘to engage, empower and transform young people, developing relationships and creating positive communities of change based around their interests and needs’.

This year provided us with the opportunity to finally start planning; being able to grow from the experiences of the past two years, and honestly reflect on what we could have done better and how we can learn and improve our services so that we are a more resilient organisation.

Strategic long-term planning was put on hold whilst we fought the fires of covid-19 – nevertheless we remained clear that our desired objective is to provide a clear pathway for young people into leadership and success in life through:

  1. Early intervention and developmental activities;

  2. Pro-active work with at risk young people;

  3. Reactive provision within the criminal justice system;

  4. Education and Employment support.

Our young people told us about the isolation they felt during covid and how their mental health had been affected, they told us that they were concerned about their future and that they felt there were less opportunities for them. School was daunting and for some the loss of loved ones was proving just too much to cope with.

Ignite joined forces with our local NHS mental health trust to deliver a programme of support for young people who were being cared for in the community. We also visited young people who were residing on local mental health wards.

Our detached youth work around the borough extended further as new areas of concern came to our attention.

Page 4

Ignite Youth

Trustees' Report

We moved quickly to ensure we were able to reconvene full delivery of all our face-to-face services, and where possible expand our offer. We started a new football session at the prestigious Harrow School every Monday night and extended the time of our basketball session at Cedars Community Centre with the support of Watford F.C. Trust.

Our presence in schools increased, and we are now mentoring more children than ever in schools.

We continued to digitalise and streamline our processes with online workshops and online registration now part and parcel of Ignite. … Zoom is here to stay!

Staff continued to rise to the challenges of covid and beyond, and we were delighted to be able to expand our team and welcome on board one of our former young people – having ex-igniters as staff and volunteers fills me with such pride.

Increasing collaborative working has been part of our strategic plan for the past three years and continues to be one of the charities key priorities as we look ahead.

Being able to work alongside more local voluntary sector organisations in achieving our mission and developing current services is important if we are to provide more help and support to our young people. A big thank you to Harrow Association Somali Voluntary Organisations (HASVO) and the local authority for collaborating with us to engage more parents and families in our work.

The charity said goodbye to two members of the trustee board, Simone Jackman and Lynne Burke. Lynne was Chair and had also held the post of Executive Director and was one of the founding members of Ignite in 2001. We were sorry to see her go but happy to welcome on board our new chair, Helen Laird, who brings with her a wealth of experience in faith-based youth work.

The organisation’s transition from a Trust to a CIO is now a distant memory, and we have gone on to further develop our brand with the introduction of a new vision -

A community where young people can turn adversity into advantage.

We maintain our four key strands of work;

And our strategic aims for 2022-2025 are to;

• Ensure young people’s needs remain at the centre of our work by amplifying their voice and developing and delivering effective programmes that respond to their needs, their communities and our stakeholders;

• Increase sustainability of Ignite through the robust implementation of objectives included in our fundraising strategy;

• Increase our engagement with young people affected by the criminal justice system.

Keeping young people at the centre of what we do is paramount to Ignite, and we continue to work to embed their voices throughout their journey with us.

We would like to end by saying thank you to all the staff and volunteers, who without you nothing would be possible. But most importantly thank you to our young people who are the catalyst in everything we do.

Financial review

Policy on reserves

Trustees minimise financial risk by monitoring income and costs, actively engaging with grant funders, and limiting financial liabilities. The trustees aim to maintain a general reserve of 4 months running costs. The trustees have set this level of general reserve:

•To enable a controlled rundown of activities if it became no longer feasible to continue the operations of the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ignite Youth

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Ignite Youth

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ignite Youth (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Ignite Youth meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Page 12

Ignite Youth

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Computer equipment 33% straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
