Trustee Report 1[st] April 2024- 31[st] March 2025

Chair's Report

Emma Moore – Chair

At The Young Women’s Hub, this year has been transformative. We have opened our doors to more girls than ever before, each one bringing unique hopes and challenges. By expanding our services and strengthening our team, we have created a safe haven where vulnerable young women are truly seen, supported, and empowered. Our improved financial stability and a remarkable 40% rise in referrals reflect the trust our community places in us. Every achievement means another girl finds the guidance, encouragement, and opportunities she deserves—helping her build confidence, discover her potential, and shape a brighter future.

Service Development and Impact

Over the past year, our service provision has evolved to become increasingly specialised and complex, reflecting the diverse needs of the young women we support. This enhancement has resulted in a greater workload for our dedicated staff, who have risen to the challenge of commitment and professionalism.

The benefit of this development is a more tailored and individualised experience for each girl and her family or carers. By addressing specific and sometimes complex needs, we have been able to make a meaningful difference in their lives. As a result, the quality of support offered has led to improved long-term outcomes for all our students, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

Staff Support and Well-being

As a Trustee Board, we place considerable emphasis on supporting our staff and prioritising their well-being. We recognise that the dedication and resilience of our team are fundamental to the continued delivery of high-quality care and education. By maintaining a supportive environment for staff, we ensure that their professional needs are met, enabling them to provide the best possible service to the young women in our care. This commitment to staff well-being is integral to the ethos and success of The Young Women’s Hub.

Financial Position

Our financial outlook has become increasingly positive as we progress into the year. This improvement is largely attributable to the significant increase in referrals, which is a

~~8~~

308 Brownhill Road Catford SE6SE6 1AU 020 8698 6675 [e-mail]

direct result of the tireless dedication and ongoing efforts of our staff team. Their commitment to promoting our services has not only raised awareness of the support we offer but has also strengthened our capacity to reach and assist more young women in need. This growth in referrals has further contributed to the stability and sustainability of our hub, ensuring we can continue to provide essential services to our community.

Community Relationships

The Hub remains committed to nurturing strong partnerships with the local council, secondary and primary schools and businesses. These relationships have been instrumental in supporting the ongoing development and delivery of our programmes. By working collaboratively with these key stakeholders, we are able to enhance the breadth and impact of our services, ensuring that our initiatives are responsive to the needs of the community. Strengthening these connections will continue to be a priority, as they are essential for the sustained success and growth of The Young Women's Hub.

OFSTED Inspection Preparation

Staff are anticipating an OFSTED inspection in the near future, and our staff team is making thorough preparations to ensure we are fully ready for the process. Our commitment to meeting the requirements and standards set by OFSTED remains unwavering, and we have prioritised inspection readiness as a key focus area. By dedicating time and resources to this important task, we aim to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality care and education, while ensuring compliance with all regulatory expectations.

School Improvement Plan

The school is currently engaged in the ongoing implementation of its school improvement plan. As part of this process, key policies and procedures have been reviewed and updated to ensure they remain fit for purpose and reflective of best practice. Safeguarding remains central to our ethos and daily operations, ensuring the safety and well-being of every student in our care is prioritised at all times.

Objectives and Activities

Structure, Governance, and Management

The charity operates under the guidance of its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which establish its objectives and define the operational framework. These foundational documents outline the principles and procedures that direct the organisation’s activities, ensuring alignment with its mission and maintaining transparency and accountability throughout all levels. A key component of The Young Women’s Hub’s governance is the recruitment of trustees who possess relevant expertise and practical experience to address the unique challenges faced by the charity. The Board of Trustees provides strategic leadership and oversight, selected through a rigorous process designed to ensure that members are well-qualified to advance the charity’s goals. This careful approach enhances the Board’s ability to deliver informed decision-making and sustain the organisation’s success.

Recognising the value of a skilled and knowledgeable Board, The Young Women’s Hub prioritises trustee recruitment to secure individuals whose backgrounds align closely with the charity’s needs. This strategy ensures effective governance and leadership, supporting the charity’s continued growth and achievement of its aims.

Trustee Recruitment Process

The recruitment of trustees for The Young Women’s Hub is undertaken through multiple channels to ensure a broad and diverse pool of candidates. These channels include the use of open advertisements, which allow individuals from a wide range of backgrounds to express their interest in joining the Board.

In addition, non-executive search firms are engaged to identify potential trustees who possess the relevant skills and expertise required by the charity. Personal recommendations also play a role, enabling the Board to consider candidates who are referred by trusted sources and have demonstrated a commitment to the charity’s aims and values.

Once suitable candidates have been identified through these methods, the existing Board of Trustees undertakes a confirmation and election process. This involves careful consideration of each candidate’s qualifications and alignment with the charity’s needs, followed by formal approval by the current trustees. This structured approach ensures that the Board remains composed of individuals well-equipped to provide effective governance and support the ongoing success of the organisation.

Trustees are tasked with maintaining a clear focus on the charity’s aims, working to guarantee that all activities and initiatives effectively address the needs of the community the charity serves. Through this diligent oversight, Trustees help to ensure that resources are used efficiently and that the organisation continues to deliver meaningful impact.

Student Testimonial

When I first began my placement at YWH, I was finding it difficult to adapt to a mainstream school setting. My attendance and punctuality were not good, and my behaviour was worsening. However, moving to a smaller environment at YWH allowed me to focus on improving my behaviour, as there was less pressure on me. I was able to access greater support with my education and felt that I was being genuinely listened to and heard.

I developed strong relationships with all the staff, which made me feel safe and comfortable enough to discuss personal matters. This support was really beneficial to me. Being at YWH also helped me to explore my options for the future, giving me increased confidence about my choices after leaving school.

There have been days when I have not wanted to engage and have completely shut down, but the staff have always been patient and persistent, encouraging me and reminding me to do my best. I am proud that I have been able to sit exams, particularly speaking and listening exams, which I would not have been able to do if I had remained in mainstream education. I am also extremely proud to have been offered a place at college, and I now feel able to move on without struggling.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2025

Young Women's Hub Ltd

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) -

(Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Young Women's Hub is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England with registration number 03070807. Its registered office address is 308 Brownhill Road, Lewisham, London, England, SE6 1AU. The accounts are presented in GBP rounded to £1.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

b) Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS

102. c) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

d) Income

• Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

• f) Donations of gifts, services and facilities

• Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e) Interest receivable

• 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.

• 1 Accounting policies (continued)

• f) Fund accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular

purposes. g) Expenditure

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 relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties

to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose

 Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of performances and choral singing activties

undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs[ ] Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading

• h) Allocation of support costs

• Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

 Provision of education to young women 100%

• i) Tangible fixed assets

• Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

• Plant & Machinery 20% reducing balance j) 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.

k) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.

• l) 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.
