OUR IMPACT - AT A GLANCE
Over the past year, Door 84 has supported young people, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers through our youth groups, inclusive activity sessions, community café, and food bank.
This has been possible with the help of our supporters and volunteers, to which we are extremely grateful.
THE PEOPLE WE SUPPORT
We see the impact of our work every day, not just in statistics, but in conversations, the smiles we see, and the small actions that ripple far beyond our doors.
Below, we’ve shared a mix of data and voices from our community to show the difference we’re making together.

It makes me feel happy coming here. It’s good to have a laugh with my friends.”
Kelly has been attending Sparks sessions since 2018, and for her, it’s the highlight of the week .
She loves to dance and sees it as an enjoyable way to exercise. “I come each week to have fun, dancing is exercise, and I don’t exercise any other time!”
Kelly has formed new friendships through Sparks while also attending with lifelong friends, making the experience even more special.
“People are really friendly here, and we can chat in the café after the Disco.”
One of her favourite parts of the disco is choosing songs for the DJ.
It’s special here, I like to make as I get to people smile. I spend time with am the bingo lots of my 70+ caller and the friends all at entertainer!” Activities once”
YOUTH SESSIONS
Door 84 have been running fun youth group sessions for over 50 years. We have provided a safe, interactive space for 8-17 year olds to socialise and grow.
It’s definitely helped with our mental health.”
Libby started attending Door 84 around five years ago and not long after, invited her friend Ella along. They’ve both been regulars ever since.
At Door 84, you get to know each other so well, it’s like growing up in a kind of family, they say. “You feel supported, and most importantly, you can be yourself” says Ella.
The girls reflected that Door 84 offers something that school doesn’t. A chance to relax, be listened to, and look after your own wellbeing.
“Here we can socialise, be active and do something positive.”

COMMUNITY CAFÉ
Our café was launched in 2021 and is open every Wednesday offering a warm, inclusive space for both local residents and the wider York community.
We provide essential support helping people facing food poverty through our Food Bank and Community Pantry, supported by supermarket donations and our partnership with FareShare.
The café also acts as a community hub, offering a safe space where attendees can connect with professional support services.
This dual approach meets both practical and social needs, helping to build stronger connections and reduce isolation.

I was very nervous about attending initially, but I was made to feel very welcome. Now it is a positive addition to my week.”
You have helped me so much. I forgot that people could be so kind.”
Jane, a single parent, has been coming to the Café for over two years, finding support, friendship, and growing confidence.
When severe damp in her home began affecting her and her child’s health, Door 84 stepped in to arrange meetings with housing officials and local councillors. Door 84 gave practical help such as washing her laundry, and providing new bedding, towels, and paint through funded support.
Door 84 arranged weekly food parcels which eased the pressure of food and fuel poverty, and at Christmas her child received free Santa tickets and donated toys, bringing some much needed joy during a difficult time.
OUR FINDINGS
Listening & Learning
At Door 84, community is at the heart of everything we do and the overall feeling this year is that we’re doing something right. People told us they feel safe, respected, welcomed, and enjoy their experiences with us – which is exactly what we want to hear.
Echoed from previous years’ findings, there’s a strong emphasis on how Door 84 is central to attendees’ lives and how it provides essential services for many across York’s community.
From Ideas to Impact
Last year’s evaluation gave us some thoughtful feedback, and several key themes stood out:
More Door 84 - new activities, new skills, new experiences More food – to enhance socialising, develop life skills, and support the wider community
– In response to your feedback, we launched Get Active, Get Cooking, and Get Creative structured, bookable sessions for young people.
After a pilot in October 2024 and consultation with young people, the sessions officially launched in March 2025.
While it's early to report on numbers, we're confident attendance will grow as awareness builds.
These sessions were also designed to better support those who may find traditional youth club formats challenging – our goal is always to ensure Door 84 is a safe, supportive, and a fun place for everyone.
We're committed to continuously learning and adapting to best meet the needs of all the young people.
Looking ahead, we will be building on new sessions for adults during the next year, including cooking and technical skills support.
Building a Stronger Identity
Behind the scenes, we've also made some exciting improvements:
Rebranded – moved away from outdated logos and towards a style that feels more modern, vibrant and true to who we are today
Launched a new website – better functionality, modern, fresh, and more "us"
We’ve strengthened our marketing and fundraising strategy by bringing together our new branding, website, and social media – creating a more joined-up approach that reflects our tone, voice, and clearly communicates why our work matters.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to be a trusted and supportive organisation – but we’re not standing still. We’ll continue to listen, learn and adapt to meet the needs of our community.

Trustee Statement
Door 84 Annual Summary: 2024-25
The 2024-25 year was highly successful for Door 84. The Trustees extend their gratitude to all donors, staff, and volunteers.
Key Developments
Values Review: Our Vision and Mission are unchanged, but following a major evaluation, we updated our Core Values to better reflect our ethos: Respect, Community, and Inclusion.
Marketing & Branding: We re-branded and launched a new website to strengthen our presence.
Funding Strategy: In response to a decline in grant funding, we re-focused our strategy to widen income streams through targeted applications, community events, and increased premises lettings.
Programme Highlights: Despite funding challenges, we maintained a safe and joyful place for young people and the community.
Youth Provision: The program was restructured to include shorter, focused provision (Get Cooking, Get Creative, Get Active) to better address diverse youth needs.
Sparks (Adults with disabilities): This popular provision for adults with disabilities was reviewed to ensure sufficient space for all attendees.
Community Provision: This vital lifeline for families changed its delivery day to align better with local services and distribution opportunities.
Community Profile & Future Focus: A Community Changemaker Award nomination and success in the charity Dragon Boat Race is evidence of our rising profile.
Growing Need: Demand for our services from youth, people with disabilities, and those experiencing isolation is increasing. Door 84 is a lifeline for many.
Fundraising: Continued fundraising efforts are more crucial than ever to meet this rising need and ensure a welcoming place for all.
Property Development: Installation of energy efficiency improvements to the building has been a great success, enabling the charity to make savings. Solar panels, battery storage, a heat pump and new windows and doors will conserve energy. We will continue to explore further development of the property to enhance facilities and create space, ensuring this challenge does not reduce funding for current Youth and Community programmes.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], 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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
Our activities are planned by the Management Committee with the Charities Commission guidelines on public benefit in mind. The activities include sports indoor and outdoor, cookery, baking, dance,art, crafts, gaming, music and free flow play for all alongside support opportunities as individuals and within a group setting. Various parts of the building are used by other organisations under licence, these include a Nursery, Theatre Group, other Youth provisions, community meetings and events.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
We welcome all children, young people, families and community members. Offering open access youth provision for 8-25 year olds and inclusive community groups for caregivers and adults at risk. We believe in encouraging all to develop and learn new skills and encourage positive activities and stimulating opportunities to raise self-esteem, aspirations and a sense of belonging. We continue to increase club attendances and support around 300+ individual children and young people and 120 within the community members and their families within a 12 month period. We endeavour to increase the club's income through fundraising events and appeals. We continue to develop the site to ensure our future without loss of income.
Financial review
Income resources in the period amounted to £2,442,879. This included £1,959,430 in respect of the funds introduced from the previous charity as per note 5 to the accounts, of this £1,936,674 was in respect of the Net Book Value of the building transferred. Income from Charitable Activities in the period amounted to £445,491. Resources expended in the period amounted to £447,230, the main expenditure being staff costs.
Reserves policy
Whilst we try to ensure expenditure is covered by income on an annual basis, our reserves policy gives us a cushion over time to meet this criteria, and also offers a safety net for unforeseen major expenditure. It is still justified by the continuing low levels of both deposit interest received and the income from the use of our premises.
Risk management:
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 the risks.
The main risk identified by the Trustees is a shortage of income over expenditure.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by the declaration of trust dated 15th June 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Door 84 Youth and Community Centre is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by the declaration of trust dated 15th June 2023.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings Nil and 2% Straight Line Fixtures and fittings 15% Reducing Balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
