Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 Our young people’s attendances for our
activities increased marginally from 300 in
the year ending 31 March 2015 to just over
400 in the current year. This was a major
achievement given the economic backdrop
and is a tribute to the quality of our
afterschool club and football activities
programme and the place the BYEP has in
the community and underpinned a
challenging financial year. Our volunteers
deserve credit and praise for their skilful
and enthusiastic efforts to provide a
successful activities programme for our
young people. The new Saturday football
and weekday young people’s programme
proved very popular with average houses
68% full. Our new Sports activities,
workshops arrangements for young people
on low incomes meant that the level of
income per attendance has been increased
this has offset the trend of declining
audience seen by other charities nationally.
Maintaining a balance between different
activities, accessibility for every young
people means, the encouraging of new

young audiences, and maintaining a financial balance is an ongoing challenge. Our key financial aim remains a financially sustainable charitable organisation and we remain very grateful to our sponsors for their support, without which the charity would close N/A Performance of fundraising activities against objectives Para 1.41 set N/A Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The year-end reserves have reduced
slightly from previous year because of
holding a significant events and activities
for our young people in May, June, August
and September 2022
with the costs being charged to reserves.
In terms of our initial budget, we increased
our income from that budgeted at the start
of the year by £81,400. This was
predominantly due to a greater than
expected number of young people
attending our activities, and therefore a
greater amount of donations being
received.
In line with the increased number of
Young people, our outgoings over the
financial year also increased by £85,700.
This means we finished the financial year
with a new negative balance of £7,300.
When combined with the balance carried
forward from the previous year, we carry
forward to 2020/21 £3,934.08.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Sufficient funds to settle all outstanding
financial commitments in the event the

Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £7300
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 The Trust had £7,300 surplus reserves on
unrestricted funds after allowing the
£10,000 awards received from national
lottery and £9996 from heritage lottery
received for those resources designated for
our new lease and football activities and
setting aside funds to cover professional
fees. This situation is largely attributable an
operating deficit and the need to finance to
match the demand in our services.
