Youth Realities Limited 

## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2024 

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2024. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## **Statement of Chair:** 

At Youth Realities our vision is a world where young people live free from relationship abuse and violence. Our mission is to end relationship abuse and violence by working with young people to provide specialist spaces for prevention, intervention and healing. 

Everything we do is ‘youth-led’ and ‘survivor-centred’ which means we centre the needs and experiences of young people and survivors, providing regular opportunities for them to feedback, co-produce and lead on the delivery, design and development of the charity. 

Our values, embedded in the heart of our work are: youth-led, survivor-centred, safe, equitable and audacious. 

Over the past year we have continued to deliver a broad range of programmes including: 1:1 workshops & support, dance workshops, wellbeing programmes and other bespoke workshops all which focus upon the empowerment and development of those affected by teenage relationship abuse and violence. Teenage relationship abuse and violence has significant negative outcomes for those who are affected by it, and for those who perpetrate it. There are no easy solutions, but at Youth Realities we work closely with our statutory, education and voluntary sector partners to challenge these behaviours and to support all young people. 

At the time of writing we are overseeing a change of leadership at the organisation in order for us to fulfil all of the above, and more, all for the benefit of children and young people. I am hugely grateful for those that lead Youth Realities with tenacity and dedication. 

As Chair I remain grateful to our team of dedicated professionals who consistently go ‘over and above’ for our beneficiaries. I am continually thankful too for our funders and donors who support our efforts and without then we could not do our work. Our financial health is good, but like all charities across London we compete for a shrinking pot of money in a charitable landscape which is as demand heavy as ever before. This will continue to be a theme over the next reporting period and I and fellow Trustees will be alive to these challenges more than ever. 


Chair, Youth Realities, 20.05.25

In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

6

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Youth Realities Limited** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024 set out on pages 9 to 21. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the ICAEW. 

- It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2024 (continued) 

## d Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## e Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of applying for grants and requesting donations. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of youth activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## f Operating leases 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## g Tangible fixed assets 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: 

Office equipment 25% 

## h Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

- i Cash at bank and in hand

12 



Youth Realities Limited 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2024 (continued) 

## j Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## k Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## l Pensions 

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 8. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. 

- 2 Legal status of the charity
