The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Introduction
Having been founded by Helen in January 1995, January 2025 was a special moment in the history of M13 Youth Project, as the organisation turned 30 years old! Who knew in those early beginnings, that M13 could and would grow into the thriving, mature organisation that it is today.
Our 30[th] Anniversary celebrations, hosted by M13’s Youth Ambassadors
There’s so much to reflect on and be thankful for throughout each and every year: each unique young person we’ve worked with, all that they’ve shared with us and the benefit and lasting impact that our relationships and work has had on their lives; the staff, sessional workers and volunteers who have walked with and worked with young people; the Trustees and members who have faithfully supported and guided us with wisdom through the years; and the funders and partners who have enabled and augmented our work. And of course, in, through and surrounding all of our work is the mighty love of God – Father, Son, Spirit – who breathes life into and sustains all our efforts. It’s a significant legacy we’ve all created together!

M13 Aims and Charitable Objects
M13 Youth Project is dedicated to enabling young people aged 6-24yrs living in our socially and economically marginalised neighbourhoods to overcome entrenched poverty and adverse childhood experiences, so they can live safe, happy, healthy and creative lives and nurture positive change in their communities. We’re all about fun, learning, action and transformation.
Using detached youth work, we go to where young people ‘hang out’: streets, parks, cafes, shops. We are there daily for young people, listening, building trusting relationships and nurturing safe spaces outdoors and in, where young people can relax, feel safe, talk, get help, plan activities (such as weekly social groups, drop-ins, trips, sports, arts & learning projects, new experiences, all along with food) and explore their experiences and options for action and change.
Older Girls’ Residential to Arnside, July 2024
We now work with over 750 children and young people a year: in Ardwick and Hulme through creative and dynamic youth and play work; and city-wide through our Young Dads’ Project. Our empathic approach is informed by the principles and practices of youth work, informal education and trauma-informed practice, underpinned by our open and inclusive Christian value base that foregrounds love and justice. We believe all young people deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and that each young person can love, think, create, reflect, enjoy, achieve and make a positive difference to their world. We’ve been privileged to see young people developing these attributes and taking action to support themselves and others, overcoming the intersecting challenges, barriers and adverse childhood experiences they face.

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
The organisation was established by Dr Helen Gatenby, our current Director, in Ardwick in 1995. In 1998, we became a Registered Charity No. 1069401, took on more staff and began regular detached youth work as our main way of contacting local young people to meet the increasing needs of the many young people who were street-present at that time. Through the years, the project has
learned and grown: in 2018 taking on city-wide support of young dads and becoming lead partner of the A6 Youth & Play Partnership; in 2020 taking on the role of Strategic Lead for Detached Youth Work in the city; and in June 2022, pioneering detached youth work in Hulme.
Our three main areas of work are:
-
detached and developmental youth work and play work in Ardwick
-
detached and developmental youth work and play work in Hulme
-
support for young dads, their children and their partners.
Our main activities are:
-
street-based detached youth work with children and young people in the community; and
-
therapeutic conversation arising from our encounters, drawing on informal education practices
From these relationships and conversations, young people and workers together create:
-
weekly drop-ins and groups
-
trips and activities
-
projects
-
holiday playschemes
-
residential stays away from Manchester
-
sports and creative arts work and events
-
life learning and training activities
-
campaigns, forums and social action
-
volunteering programmes
-
one-to-one tailored support, mediation and counselling.
These activities and opportunities all meet the needs, interests and concerns of local children, young people and young parents. In our work, we pay particular attention to the Christian principles of love, welcome, grace and justice .

Charitable Objects
The charity’s objects are:
-
(1) To act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 living in Greater Manchester by providing advice and assistance and organising youth work and play activities, of a social, physical, educational, therapeutic and spiritual nature, as a means of:
-
(a) advancing in life and helping children, young people and young parents by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in and shape society as interdependent, mature, responsible and confident 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, sex, gender, mental or physical disability, ethnicity, poverty, environment, caring responsibilities or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons;
-
(e) promoting knowledge, mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs and practices of the Christian faith and of other major religious faiths and world views.
-
(2) To do the above in accordance with Christian principles, beliefs and practices and in such a way that demonstrates Christian faith, grace, love, hope, forgiveness, mutual care and concern and that upholds the values of equality, justice, anti-oppression and the dignity and self-worth of the individual.
-
(3) To fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the charity.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year.
The charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through the development of social, leisure, learning and support activities for children, young people, and young parents staffed by professional youth workers, which foster community, offer support and guidance and which promote fun, learning, action and change.

M13 Impact – The Difference We Make
As part of our 30[th] Anniversary Celebrations we held a large community celebration in June 2025 (so technically part of next years’ report, but hey – this way you get to hear about it twice!), making full use of the indoor and outdoor spaces at Brunswick Church Centre. We had over 250 children, young people, parents, funders, partners, members and returning ex-participants come to celebrate with us – it was a fantastic (and very noisy) day! with loads of fun activities, awards for staff designed by the newly appointed M13 Youth Ambassadors, a showcase of photographs through the years and of course, great food.
We collated and analysed all the interviews and have produced a short imapct report, outlining our areas of impact through 30 years of faithful service.
Impact Report
Introduction
This report summarises insights from a series of interviews with young people, ex-participants, parents, community members, staff, funders and partners at M13’s 30[th] Anniversary Celebration event. Their reflections highlight the transformative role of M13 in individual lives and the wider community. The quotes are anonymised but drawn directly from participants’ words.
Personal Growth and Life Chances
M13 has had a profound impact on the personal development of young people:
-
Building confidence and skills : Many spoke of gaining social skills, confidence, and independence. One young person said, “It’s helped me with my social skills and really expand on who I am as a person.”
-
Creative opportunities : Activities such as cooking, photography, fashion design, and tie-dye encouraged young people to discover and nurture talents. “It made me feel more confident and embrace my skills at drawing and cooking.”
-
Long-term progression : Attendees often return as volunteers, mentors, or staff. “I started volunteering when I was 16… I love working with the kids.”
-
Life-changing guidance : For some, M13’s support was pivotal. “I probably wouldn’t be where I am now without M13. They guided me into adulthood and supported my mental health.”
Safe and Supportive Spaces
A recurring theme was that M13 provides a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental environment:
-
“There’s a space for people to come if they don’t want to be at home… M13 is right here.”
-
“It gave me somewhere safe as a child to come, feel welcome, and be part of a community.”
-
“It’s a permanent support in the community – people know they can rely on it.”
For many, M13 has been a lifeline during difficult times, offering trusted relationships and emotional support.

Memorable and Transformative Experiences
Interviewees shared a wealth of joyful and lasting memories:
-
Trips and adventures : Residentials out into the wilds of the Lake District and Peak District, Alton Towers, abseiling, and park outings remain highlights.
-
Creative projects : From fashion shows and photo shoots to cooking spaghetti and tie-dye, these activities gave young people fun, pride, and achievement.
-
Moments of reflection : One participant recalled a residential where everyone shared positive reflections: “It was really sentimental… we got to look over the difference in ourselves and the difference that M13 made.”

Community Impact
M13’s influence goes beyond individuals – it strengthens the whole community:
-
Reducing risks : By giving young people something positive to do, M13 helps keep them off the streets and engaged. [This is a view of our work that I dislike and discourage! I want to keep people on the streets – with workers and other safe local community adults – as this is how we keep the streets safe for everyone. HG]
-
Support in crisis : When tragedy struck, M13 was there. “When one of the young people got murdered, they brought all their friends together and carried on being there for them.”
-
A trusted presence : Stakeholders describe M13 as “a visible presence of high-quality youth work that the community can trust and depend on.”
-
Youth voice and participation : Funders recognise how young people shape activities, saying, “Young people vote with their feet. If they keep coming back, that shows the impact.”
Values and Approach
The culture and ethos of M13 are consistently praised:
-
Warmth and inclusivity : “They’re open and accepting to everyone. No one’s judged here.”
-
Consistency of values : “They don’t change their values to suit funding. Their ethos is their ethos.”
-
Child-centred and love-driven : “The main thing that sticks out for me is love. The youth workers really care about the kids and the community.”
-
Leadership and role models : Staff, Helen and the team, were described as inspiring, authentic, and deeply committed. “I want to be like her [Helen] when I grow up.”

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
Conclusion
The interviews show that diverse stakeholders consider M13 a significant part of the local community. It provides safety (outdoors and in), fun, new opportunities and bespoke help; it nurtures personal growth; and it remains rooted in its values. Through a quiet word of support on the streets, a cooking class or a residential trip, M13 changes lives and strengthens the community on a daily basis.

A Review of our Achievements and Performance
Relationships, Conversation and Detached Youth Work
Relationships are the heart and soul of our work with young people – spending time in conversation and activity with young people in a variety of settings, developing humansing relationships characterised by trust, affirmation, appreciation, dignity, enjoyment and learning; where we work together on issues that are of importance to children and young people; and where we all have fun, learn, take action and see positive change lived out, amongst ourselves and our communities.
If our relationships with young people can be described as the ‘heart and soul’ of our work, our ‘engine’ is ‘detached youth work’ – being available in the spaces and places in our communities where children and young people choose to spend their time. Detached youth work is our primary means of engagement with young people: purposefully spending time in our communities every day; meeting, listening to and talking with young people; and from there, developing further activities together, chosen by young people, such as: trips, group work, residentials, projects, workshops, accredited learning, volunteering, personal and community action. All our activities are young people-led; and support their learning about life.
Through the year, we engaged with 755 children, young people and young parents whose names we know - in detached youth work it’s not always possible or appropriate to collect such information in the very early stages of building a relationship. This can be broken down into 629 unique participants in Ardwick, 101 in Hulme and 25 young dads . Of these, we have worked regularly and/or in some depth with 160 children, young people and young parents through frequent street-

Highlights of the Year
In addition to our many interactions and conversations on detached youth work sessions with children and young people in their local Ardwick and Hulme communities, these are some of the highlights of our year:
Our six weekly groups – Older Lads, Coverdale Lads, Younger Lads, Older Girls’, Younger Girls’ and Brunswick Youth Club. Young people consistently tell us they find our groups a really important ‘extension’ to our detached youth work, where they can meet safely with friends and trusted adults, be themselves, support each, receive bespoke group and 1-1 support and have control and choice about what they do.
Young dads’ project – Young dads’ workers undertake a wide range of bespoke support across the city, to enable young dads to meet their presenting needs: this could be around developing parenting skills, or accessing work, employment, mediation with their baby’s mother, support in court and through Child Protection meetings. For many young dads and their children, this support is vital and life-changing. Des and Robert worked with 25 young dads this year, aged between 14-22yrs (average age 17.75 yrs): offering over 40 outreach/drop-in sessions in hospital maternity units; 185 1-1 meetings with young dads; and a further 254 ‘remote’ follow-up sessions by phone – either supporting the dads directly through phone calls or liaising with other professionals to secure the support they need for them and their children to thrive.
Youth Forum – January saw the return of our Youth Forum, as we started work again with our ‘elders group’ to explore what makes M13 ‘M13’, to begin to plan our 30[th] Anniverary celebrations and to establish an ‘Ambassadors’ programme. Sessions have explored the nature of ‘power’ and ‘agency’; the issues that most concern them; and how they would like to shape the future of our work.

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
Coverdale Lads’ Group – This year marked a milestone in Coverdale, as we navigated the ‘ending’ of Coverdale Lads’ Group. Set up by a peer group of young men over 7 years ago, Victoria and Mario have worked consistently with this group of young people from the ages of 12-14yrs through to 1921yrs, in the weekly group, on detached sessions and in betweenn when they’ve needed extra, bespoke support. It has been a privilege to journey with the young men through all that their adolesence has thrown at them, witnessing at close hand how they have grown in courage, skills and wisdom as they worked through the many pressures of teenage life in Ardwick. It’s both wonderful and bittersweet when young people no longer need our regular support; and as the group began to recognise this, we worked with them on ‘ending well’, which included a residential in June and a final, celebratory trip to Chester in September. We are still in touch with a number of the group, as they now support M13 through volunteering and working with us! It’s wonderful to see them giving back to their communities in this, and many other different ways.
Coverdale Older Lads Resi in Driffield
Trips & activities – Trips grow organically and pusposefully out of our interactions on detached sessions and in groups, exploring young people’s interest, introducing them to new ideas, activities and settings, developing their imagination and broadening their horizons, all chosen and planned by young people themselves. Our activites each have a particular focus: getting young people together across areas meet others in the ‘M13 family’, building social cohesion – Alton Towers, Summer BBQ, our Odd Arts drama workshop and our Christmas Party/Meal; an outdoor theme to support physical and mental health – a Hulme trip to Wildshore Aqua Park, a lads’ trip cycling around the Derwent Valley; and making fun memories with friends – trips to the cinema, karting, sleepovers, games and mystery nights.
Residentials – This year, three groups of young people planned and went on residentials with us. Coverdale lads group went to Kingfisher Lakes, Driffield in July, where they camped, kayaked, went to a Birds of Prey sanctuary, played crazy golf, cooked for themselves and ate excellent fish and chips. Brunswick older lads group went to Windermere, where they kayaked on Lake Windermere, cycled around Lake Windermere and ate out … by Lake Windermere. Older Girls Group stayed in Arnside, climbed the Knot, went outdoor swimming in Ingelton, mastered a maize Maze and met some alpacas, and ate fish and chips and the beach, watching the sunset. Residentials are an important time away from Manchester, offering space to relax, reflect on life from new perspectives, deepen relationships with friends and workers and form strong positive memories.

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
Volunteering and sessional work opportunities – a strong thread of M13 work has been supporting young people to ‘give back’ to their communities through volunteering, often leading to them taking on more respsonsibility as paid sessional staff through the Easter and Summer activities. It is always a delight to see young people passionate about supporting the youngers in our community. This was particularly evident in our HAF work – where we had 18 staff, sessional staff and volunteers working together to provide safe, fun and healthy activities and food for children through the school holidays. Of the 18 workers, 15 are from our local Ardwick neighbourhoods, making us so proud and offering fabulous local possibility models for local children.
Holiday Activity and Food: Preparing meals together – getting ready for a relay race
Holiday play HAF work at Easter and Summer, offering safe and fun play activities and nutritious food to children and young people; as well as an opportunity for emerging leaders to volunteer at sessions, or become paid sessional staff.
Project Work – Three groups developed projects through the year: the Older Lads group learned barbering skills; Brunswick Youth Club developed a learning project around the 5 Ways to Wellbeing; and Hulme detached group developed an empowerment project to reduce the impact of youth violence.
RadEqual project – Through detached youth work, small group work and the Odd Arts Drama workshop, we supported young people to explore and undertsand more about Hateful Extremism, and to develop a stronger sense of belonging in their communities.
Basketball – with a focus on fun and skills development, rather than competition, the Basketball Project brings together young people interested in playing and developing their skills in a relaxed and safe local environment.
Community support – we are often invited to support young people at community events, such as Christmas Lights Switch-ons, School Community Days. We really enjoy meeting familiar and new children and their parents at these events.

Strategic Organisational Development
The A6 Youth & Play Partnership
We continue to work with and value our effective and creative partnership with Anson Cabin and Levenshulme Youth Project, founder members the A6 Youth & Play Partnership; supporting each other and developing small projects with each other. We currently have three grants as a partnership: from Manchester City Council’s Youth & Play Fund; MCC Holiday Activity & Food Fund; and UKYouth’s Thriving Minds fund, although the Thriving Minds grant will come to an end early next financial year.
In Fenruary 2025, we organised training on the Choice Theory model of Mentoring Young People in Community Settings , for the wider Central East Network (which includes M13, Anson Cabin and LYP). This highly participative training was well received and has proven very helpful in our work with children and young people.

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
Financial review
This year marks our second full year of reporting as a CIO. We are grateful that it has, once again, been a relatively stable financial year. Positive relationships with funders have meant that grant income has continued to come in, at a very similar level to last year, enabling us to maintain a consistent service to children, young people and young dads, offering regular, safe, communitybased detached youth work, play work and support groups to young people, as well as responding flexibly to young people’s and young dads’ specific needs. Funders and others continue to give us positive feedback on the work, and reporting, for which we are grateful.
Our total income for the year of £340,973 represents a very slight increase on the previous year. As usual, grant and commission income make up the largest part of this, although there are also other important donations and contributions. Higher bank interest rates over the past couple of years have led to increased investment income compared to earlier years.
Our largest expenditure, as usual, was on staffing costs. As our staff are the most important resource we can offer young people it is appropriate that they are fairly rewarded, and we ensure that relevant training is provided where necessary. The second largest item of expenditure was on youth and play work activities, reflecting all that is reported elsewhere in the annual review. The total expenditure for the year was £322,488, again representing a very small increase on last year’s total.
We thus ended the year with the accounts showing a surplus of £18,485 and a healthy General Fund balance of £120,214, Restricted funds of £97,224 and a Designated Notice & Redundancy Fund of £85,026. We maintain the latter at the level needed to cover the Charity’s obligations in the event of closure. Our policy is to maintain unrestricted reserves at between 4 and 6 months of our operating costs, and our General Fund balance meets this, based on average expenditure levels.
Dr Tim Craft
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds in an interest bearing deposit account.
Reserves policy and going concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31[st] March 2025 was £120,214 of which all are free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to between four and six months of charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide stability for the project’s work, being sufficient to: maintain the work in the event of an unexpected loss of income; keep workers employed (avoiding having to make quality staff redundant); and giving time to raise further funds.
16
M13 YOUTH PROJECT
The Charity's main source of income is grants and fees. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
Subject to satisfactory funding arrangements, the Project will continue to provide detached, development and support work, drawing on the principles and practices of informal education together with children and young people in Ardwick and Hulme, and young parents city-wide, to meet their needs and to foster fun learning, action and change. We have a number of projects in the pipeline for the coming year, including; Summer HAF work, a BBQ, trips, sleepovers and a residential planned by young people; and projects and activities designed by children and young people.
Structure, governance and management
M13 Youth Project is registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is constituted under a trust deed dated 31 January 2022.
Appointment of trustees
New trustees are appointed by existing trustees and serve for 3 years after which they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of 3 trustees.
At the quarterly trustee meetings, the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Charity, including investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of the Charity is delegated to the Project Manager.
Trustee induction and training
Most Trustees are already familiar with the work of the charity as a result of either their work within a partner organisation or as a volunteer, or their work in the local community. Additionally, new trustees familiarise themselves with the roles and responsibilities of Trustees as set out by the charity commission. Training is organised as the need arises and when identified.

M13 YOUTH PROJECT
Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting principles and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provision of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is preparing accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 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 have in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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 31st March 2025
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 27 restricted funds.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 17.
(c) Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
The charity receives grants which are solely to be distributed to third parties. These grants do not form part of these accounts.
(d) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
(f) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on the type of expense.
The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 8.
(g) Costs of raising funds
The charity does not have any costs of raising funds.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025
(h) Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as shown in note 7.
(i) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and valued at historical cost. Depreciation is charged on the following basis:
| Computers and equipment | 33.33% on cost |
|---|---|
| Minibus | 25% on cost |
(j) Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(k) Pensions
The charity currently administers contributions to a pension scheme on behalf of individuals.
(l) 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.
(m) 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.
2. Related party transactions and trustees' expenses and remuneration
The trustees all give freely their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind. Expenses paid to the trustees in the year totalled £nil (2024: £nil).
