## **Trustees Annual Report**
## **for the year ended 31 July 2023**
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2023.
## **Legal Status**
Keswick Youth Centre Services is governed by a constitution. Legal and administrative information set out in page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for accounting and reporting for charities.
## **Organisation**
Keswick Youth Centre Services CIO has a board of Trustees who manage and run the building and oversee the running of the Youth Club. The Trustees who served during the year were:-
C Graham - resigned 29/11/2022 J Jorritsma G Lovatt - appointed 01/08/2022 G Mendus S McLoughin Booth S Moran P Roberts - resigned 20/07/2023 S Starkey
## **Appointment of Trustees**
Trustees are appointed at the AGM. At each AGM one third of Trustees resign and are available for reelection. From the Board of Trustees a chairman, secretary and treasurer are appointed.
## **Risk Assessment**
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
## **Investment Powers and Restrictions**
The trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The trust is established to help and educate young people, particularly but not exclusively, those between the ages of 9 years and 25 years, through their leisure time activities and thus develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and their conditions of life may be improved.
## **Summary of Main Activities in Relation to these Objects**
The past year has seen a multitude of key initiatives come to fruition:
1. Completed our change in legal status and have now become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
2. After many years of designing, re-designing and re-submitting, we were finally successful with LDNP planning applications for both a new carpark (with a 5 year tenure) and a new multi-purpose KYCS venue, including housing for young adults, a purpose-built Youth Centre, as well as additional spaces for private meetings, youth service collaborations and private hire – especially the latter will require significant fund-raising before we can turn our vision into reality
3. Secured a £250,000 Levelling-up grant towards acquiring a suitable, exciting alternative KYC property in Keswick. Although this was ultimately unsuccessful and the grant not able to be progressed, this very resource-intensive project could not have gotten this close to success without the dedication from a small working committee.
4 Membership continued to thrive and grew to 180 young members by the end of the school term. This is expected to rise further in the new school term, when a new year 6 group will become eligible to join KYC.
5. Completion of the first year of the three year grant from Cumbria Community Foundation (Better Tomorrows) which had enabled us to employ a ten hour per week youth worker. This role included running a successful Summer Programme in 2022. The second year has started well, and the second Summer Programme began

**Report of the Trustees, contd. for the year ended 31 July 2023**
## **Objectives and activities (cont)**
6. Following more than 3 years of partnership with Kong Adventures, KYCS secured a 3 year lease for a much larger, exclusive space at the Rawnsley Centre as the new KYC hub for our growing membership. The new KYC hub opened in June 2023 and this was only made possible by the dedication and hard work of our volunteers, Trustees and youth worker, as well as key grant funders (The Holroyd Trust, Cumbria County Council, Keswick Town Council, The Hilmarnan Trust, Co-op).
7. After 7 years of dedicated service to the young people of Keswick, our Chairperson Phill Roberts resigned in July 2023, having led the transformation of Keswick Youth Club into a modern, thriving and professional CIO fit for the future.
## **Current Position and Future Plans**
Key short to medium term priorities for the board of Trustees are:
1. Strengthening our group of trustees, to enable us to secure a sustainably funded long-term future
for KYCS
2. Widening our pool of volunteers, to enable expansion of our activities and club nights in line with the demand
- 3.Expanding our fundraising to cover:
- a) Our expanded space at the Rawnsley Centre
- b) Our expanded youth working activities
- c) One or two additional paid youth workers
- d) The building of our carpark on the Old Mill site
Once we have secured these priorities, we will be able to turn our attention to the project of bringing the approved plans for a new Keswick Youth Centre on the Old Mill site to life
## **Financial Review**
During the year the club had net outgoing resources of £914 (2022 incoming £6,443). This is made up of net incoming resources of £1,271 on general reserves and net outgoing resources of £2,185 in restricted funds. When these is added to the brought forward reserves of £234,797, the closing reserves are £233,833. This is made up of £8,918 general reserves and £224,965 restricted funds. The restricted funds is made up of £200,000 valuation of the land and £24,965 cash reserves.
## **Policy on Reserves**
The Trustees are aiming to keep the reserves at the highest level possible over the next 2 years to ensure that maximum funds are available for the project to construct a new centre for young people.

## **Independent Examiners Report for the year ended 31 July 2023**
I report on the accounts for the Trust for the year ended 31 July 2023 which are set out on pages 5 - 9.
## **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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examiners report is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to 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 Commissioners. An examination includes a review of accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these 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 proceedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiners' 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 s130 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.
