Key risks and uncertainties The Assoclation have considered the key risks and uncertainties it faces over the coming year and has identified these as; l. The organlzation suffers from high void levels due to a mixture of internal and external factors therefore having a detrimental impact on cash flow and budgets 2. The launch of the second Childn.$ Home and the need to have appropriate staffing levels prior to recelvlng placements has a negative impact on the organization's finances,. 3. Failure to recruit a suitable registered manager for the Second Children's Home, given the current recrultment market, Imp5nges on servlce dellvery and subsequently flnances. 4. The inabillty to make substantial investments in the public areas within East Street, therefore impacting on theatre audience and communlty group experience; 5.

Ability for the organlsation to grow within the challenging economic environment; 8. Failure to maintain the new Ofsted regulations for the accommodation of 16117-year-olds, thus resulting in the wlthdrawal of CYPS Contracts. 9.

We continue to experience growing numbers of young people impacted by adverse mental health and this in turn creates additional pressu res on an already stretched staff team. During the year we were advised by the Local Authority that they intended to decommission ten beds to 62 from the original 72. This was very much based on local authority budget challenges, specifically that there was no statutory responsibility within the housing department to accommodate 16 to 18 year old's which falls under Children and Young People Services and also the new Ofsted accommodation standard5. The year also saw us develop partnerships with Project Flourish supporting young people into employment, CenterPoint through their 'More than just a Roof, grant scheme where 13 young people were able to access £200 each to buy soft furnishing for their potential move-on and Simba Mattress for the gifting of refurbished returned mattresses. This enables young people to have a practically new mattress at no cost. A new property in Mantle Road was taken on within the year and developed a new partnership wlth Lelcestershire County Council for the accommodation of Unaccompanied Asylum-seeking Children. This partnership supports our housing vision to develop more work within the County. Residential Children's Services Park House maintained its Ofsted rating of Good. Following the successful move-on of the solo placement in September, Park House has managed to support three young men living within the house. The three men are placed two by the County and one by the City and although the County placement is on a framework agreement, therefore limiting the price we can charge, the working relationship has been positive, especially as it is the same commissioner that we have worked with around the UASC young people. As part of the investment into Park House, we have also launched a new HR policy which supports those staff who do not have a driving license to access a grant that enables them to have lessons at no initial cost to themselves with a commitment to staying in the organisation for up to two years post passing their test. This decision was seen as a cost-effective investment given the need for staff to be able to drlve and the challenges In recruiting new staff. Theatre The Theatre's resident engagement and training programme is fully operational following the launch of the Hidden Gems project funded by Historic England. This saw the young people engaging with and collecting stories around the history of the theatre, Leicester and its community, and learning technical skills resulting in a closing event showcasing their research, and the creation of a podcast. ThroLtgh this engagement we were able to launch the resident employment scheme resulting in 330/0 of the front of house team now being current or ex-residents, with the goal to continue expanding this in 25-26. The team also provided one-on-one coaching to a resident to secure a place at university studying theatre and performance. Investment was made into the bar, updating the previous furniture that was donated in 2020, to new tables and chairs more fit for purpose. The bar and dressing rooms had a refresh of the paint and displays to brighten the space under the theatre's brand colours, with excellent feedback from artists, staff and the community alike. The theatre continues to deliver a diverse range of shows, developing connections with the local community as well as national artists and agents. We have seen over 27,000 people visit the theatre this year, and have grown our regular community groups to include local dance academy 118 Dance. Our strong reputation in the city was particularly reflected in our win of Best Large Venue at Lelcester Comedy Festlval for the fourth year runnlng as voted for by festlval audiences. The team was also voted Best Team at YMCA Leicestershire's first Star Awards. Your Heritage Your Future The Heritage project was unsuccessful in its bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for its contlnuation of the Your Heritage, Your Future project. Although it was felt that we had a good case for funding, the feedback for the National Lottery Heritage fund was that they felt the project was too ambltlous.

Although there was a plan that the new homeless centre would be relocated to the new 'Homeless Hub, thls has not materia1ised, although this is due to happen in August 2025. The services the hub will deliver will be very different to those of the Day Centre and YMCA'S role in the new Hub is still not clear. However, initial conversations have identified the Day Centre Manager as being a conduit between service users accessing the Hub and engagement with partner organisation'5, From a YMCA perspective, this is an area of risk we need to be aware of. We have also continued to work with Fare Share, which helps us to provlde food parcels to some of our most vulnerable service users. This partnership has also enabled us to set up our Staff Pantry as we are aware that with the current cost of living crisis, some staff were struggling financially. HR The main focus of HR this year has been on sourcing a new HR system, addressing the issues of the new minimum wage, the ongoing challenges with recruitment and working with an external provider, taking our managers through the Clifton Strengths process. The team have continued to ensure non-paid benefits are accessible to staff and also that we are compliant with all HR policies and procedures. This year the HR team also launched the STAR Awards, which are an awards ceremony that recognises the contribution that staff have made to the organisation over the year. These awards culminated in an event In our theatre In January. The HR team have also carried out staff questionnaires concerning the staff pantry, facilitated two all staff meetings and are planning to carry out a staff satisfaction survey later in the year, as well as reviewing our absence policy and developing a culture document. Operations The Operations department has continued to ensure our buildings are fit for purpose and that we comply with all health and safety regulations and codes of practice. This year we have had to carry out electrical testing of our main building in order to ensure we are compllant. We have also carried out a feasibllity study of our heating systems across all sites which has identified potential areas of investment. The team have also advised that we will need to make a substantial investment in the decking at the back of the building to meet ongoing health and safety requirements. Sports Health and Fitness The new fitness studio continues to be a real asset to both residents and staff with many regular users. The theatre has also managed to attract 118 Dance Group, a new dance company who use our sports hall three times a week. This not only generates a hlgh level of income but increases footfall through the bulldlng. Governance The year saw us elect our first young Trustee onto the Board following her engagement with the 'Get on Board, programme. The year also saw the resignation of Phil Hawkins, Vice Chair, after 12 years and Emma Hollis after 12 years, The Trustees commltment to adopt the Foyer Federation Asset Based Advantaged Thinking Module of Service Design dellvery was implemented through the Advantaged Thinking Lead taking the organisation through a change management process where she explored advantaged thinking across all departments with a view to this being organisational wide rather than just purely housing. At the end of the financial year, we we assessed by the Foyer Federation, the results of which will be with us In June. Marketing and Fundraising The organisation looked at a structural change this year and the Dlrector of People, Policy and Culture took on the responsibility of managing Marketing and Fundraising. The team also lost their community fundraiser after 10 years of servlce. Given this, the decision was made to have a period of pause, especially given the change in the fund raising landscape, in order to identify the most effective structure going forward. Again, this year the team ralsed a total of £24,000 as part of the Christmas Big Give campaign, which will be used towards our community garden project.

The appointment of the Digital Marketing Officer has made substantlal Impact to the organisatlon's digltal marketing presence with positive comments from a range of internal and external partners. The investment in this post has also enabled us to expand our reach, locally, regionally. nationally and internationally. Multi-employer defined benefit penslon scheme YMCA Leicestershire recognises possible concern relatlng to its participation in a defined benefit pension scheme. Appropriate action has been taken: The scheme was closed to new members in 2007, and the link to final salary broken in 2011. Additional contributions continue to be made to reduce the deficit. As part of the YMCA federation, the multi-employer pension scheme is run by an independent Trustee board with employer representation through the Principal Employer, National Council of YMCAS. The pension scheme Trustee obtains an actuarial valuation every three years and we have considered the implications to the charity's finances from the latest available actuarial valuation, We have reviewed the charity's ability to continue to deliver its charitable objectives by ensuring budgets, forecasts and plans are available and include the impact of deficit repayments. The Trustees included the impart of the penslon scheme deficit repayments in considering going concern status, reserves, and the risks and uncertainties that the charity face noted elsewhere in this Report. YMCA Leicestershire benefits from the pension scheme Trustees and the Princlpal Employer seeking suitable specialist professional advice both to manage the scheme and in the continuing effort to explore ways of reducing the overall pension deficit. The notes to the Accounts include an accounting policy and further details in note 18. STRATEGIC REPORT - Looking Forward (25/26) Housing Nationallyi there is a real shortage of social housing which is reflected in both the government's commitment to Increase social housing and the YMCA England Wales, commitment to increase affordable housing by 10,000 units by the next Parliament. As a city, Leicester has a social housing challenge and the lack of social housing wlll often result In young people staying at the YMCA a lot longer than originally envisaged and therefore, to all intents and purposes, are bed blocking. There Is clearly a need for affordable social housing for young people, single5, couple5 and families. In our 202312024 strategic report, we highlighted a commitment to increase our property portfollo and to try and secure affordable studios and one-bedroom flats. Unfortunately, followlng the election and the decision by the current administration to substantially increase the minimum wage and employers Nl, the organisation was not in a position to invest in said strategy. However, we did secure an eight bedroom unit working with a private landlord, which is currently belng used to accommodate Unaccompanied Asylum-seeking Children. Moving forward, we are still committed to increasing our portfolio through the purchase or lease of one-bedroom flats or studios where we can act as the landlord and sublet to young people who are ready for independence and in full-time employment or training. Therefore, our strategic focus for 202512026 wlll be: Increaslng our service provlslon through identifying and securing additional properties. Achieving an Ofsted Standard of Good as a minimum for the accommodation of 16- 17-year-olds. Fully implementing our new Housing Management System 'In Form,. Cementlng our contract with the County Council to deliver supported accommodation to UASC. Implement a programme of resident engagement, training and employment opportunities through the Resident & Communlty Engagement Manager Ensuring that young people have access to our housing provlslon through dlrect access alongside SAR referrals Reviewing our cost base, ensuring we a competitlvely placed withln the sertor. {Iv) {v} (vi) {vii)

Policy Statement YMCA Leicestershire's Mission Statement, Strategic Objectives, Values and Servlce Dellvery are underpinned by a commitment to value for money. This policy presents our intentions on what we spend and how we deploy our staff and resources directly with the core values and the service standards we deliver. The Y's performance achievements and customer satisfaction are key elements of this policy. Our strategic objectives To provide high quality support and accommodation that empowers young people to achieve sustainable independence.

Value for Money demonstrable expertations The Regulator of Soclal Housing (RSH)'s framework for soclal houslng has a speclflc Value for Money standard. The standard requires that,. Reg istered providers articulate and deliver a comprehensive and strategic approach to achieving VFM in meeting organisational objectives.

This has achieved a degree of benchmarking as described below. 16

Respective responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of the Members of the Board's Responsibilities set out on page 20, the Trustees {who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financlal statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from materlal misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and parent company's ability to contlnue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going conrn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Identlfication of key laws and regulations central to the associations operations and review of compllance wlth such laws Including a review of the Charities Commission website and the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Testing of Journal entries and potential overrlde of systems. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there Ss a risk that we wlll not detect all irregularbtles, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financlal statements or non-compllance with regulation. The risk irbcreases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Basis of Consolidation These financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking up to 31 March 2025. Under Section 408{3) of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is exempt from the requirements to present its own income and expenditure account. The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of the Company and all of its subsidiaries (l.e. entltles that the Group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2025. Investment in the subsidiary is stated at C05t. Donations Donations received for the general purposes of the Company a included as unrestricted fund5. Donations for activlties restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to 'restricted funds. where these wishes are legally binding on the Board. Restricted Reserves Restricted reserves are those reserves whlch are only expendable in accordance wlth the wlshes of the funder or regulatory body. Expenditure cannot be dlrectly set against restricted reserves, but IS taken through the Income and Expenditure Account. A transfer from restricted reserve5 15 then made as appropriate. By this method, expenditure, which meets the criteria, is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management expenses. Designated Reserves Designated reserves are part of unrestrlcted reserves which have been earmarked by the Board for a particular purpose. Such designations may be reversed by future Board decisions. Expenditure cannot be directly set against designated reserves, but is taken through the Income and Expenditure Account. A transfer is then made from designated reserves as appropriate. Intangible assets Intangible assets are recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised to ir)come or'expenditure on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, as follows: Website costs over 5 years Amortlsation Is revised prospectively for any sigr)ificant change in useful life or residual value. On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrylng amount of the intangible asset is recognised in income or expenditure. 33

Depreciation Is charged on a straight line basis over the expected economic useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates: Freehold buildlngs {non-housing) Furniture, fixtures and fittings, IT equipment Leasehold improvements Motor vehicles Lifts over 25 year5 over 3 to 10 years (dependent on the expected economic life) over 25 years or the life of the lease if less over 3 years over 25 years Major components of housing properties have been accounted for and depreciated separately from the connected housing property at the following rates: structure Kitchens and Bathrooms Electrical equipment Lifts Freehold land 15 not depreciated. The useful economic lives of all tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually. over 10 to 25 year5 over 5 years over 3 years over 25 years Housing properties are principally properties available for nt and are stated at cost less and provision for any impairment (representing a diminution in the recoverable service potential of the asset below its carrying value in the balance sheet) le55 depreciation. Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, development costs and expenditure incurred in the respect of improvements. Development costs of properties are capitalised to the extent that they a directly attributable to bringing the properties into working condition for their intended use. Directly attributable costs include the labour costs of own employees (including development staff, in-house architects and surveyors) arising dirertly from the construction or acquisition of the property, and the incremental costs that would have been avoided only if the property had not been constructed. Impairment An assessment is made at each reporting date of whether there are indications that a fixed asset (including housing properties) may be impaired or that an impairment loss previously recognised has fully or partially reversed. If such indications exist, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets net of any associated Social Housing Grant and their recoverable amounts, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use of the asset based on its seNice potential, are recognised as impairment losses in the Income and Expenditure Account. Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Reversals of impairment losses are recognised in income and expenditure. On reversal of an impalrment loss, the depreciatlon or amortisation is adjusted to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount (less any residual value) over its remaining useful life. 34

These properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value whilst a reliable measure of fair value is available without undue c05t or effort. Changes in fair value are recognised in income and expenditure. The Companies Act 2006 requires all properties to be depreciated. However, this quIrement conflicts with the generally accepted accountlng princlple set out in FRS 102. The Board considers that, because investment properties are not held for consumption, but for their investment potential, to depreciate them would not give a true and fair view. If this departure from the Companies Act 2006 had not been made in order to give a true and fair view, the surplus for the financial year would have been reduced by depreciation. However, the amount of depreciation cannot reasonably be quantified because depreciation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount relating to the depreciation of the property cannot be separately identified. Investments and investment Income Investments are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in the Income and Expenditure Account. Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the Group is entitled to receipt. stocks stocks are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Taxation The Assoclatlon has charltable status and Is reglstered wlth the Charity Commission and is therefore exempt from paying Corporatlon Tax on charltable activities. Value Added Tax Irrecoverable VAT whlch can be attributed to a capital item or expenditure is added to the cost of the capital item or expense5 where practicable and material. Employee Benefits The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The best estimate of the expenditure required to settle an obligation for termination benefits is recognised immediately as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed to termlnate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. Government Grants Government grants include grants receivable from Homes England, local authorities and other government bodies. Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditlons wlll be met, and the grants will be received. Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful economic life of the structure of the asset and, where applicable, the individual components of the structure (excluding land) under the accruals model. Government grants relating to revenue are recognised as income over the periods when the related costs are incurred once reasonable assurance has been gained that the Company will comply with the conditions and the funds will be received. Other Grants Grants received from non-government sources are recognised using the perfOrrnan model. Grants are recognised as income when the associated performance tonditions are met. Leased Assets Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account on a straight line basis over the lease term. 35

Scoiland and Wales which was closed to new members and accruals on 30 April 2007. Due to insufficient information, the plan's actuary has advised that it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities relating to YMCA Leicestershire. As described in note 18 YMCA Leicestershire has a contractual obligation to make pension deficit payments of £48,269 pa over the period to April 2027 (2024- £48,269 pa), accordingly this 15 shown as a Ilabllity In these accounts. In addltion, YMCA Leicestershire is QuIred to contribute £15,103 pa (2024: £15,384 pa) to the operating expenses of the Pension Plan and these costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as made. Defined contribution plans The Group also operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Income and Expendlture Account. Dlfferences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments. Financial instruments The Group has elected to apply the provlslons of Sectlon 11 'Basic Financial Instruments. and Section 12 '0ther Flnanclal Instruments Issues, of FRS 102, In full, to all of its financial instruments. Financial a55et5 and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are offset only when the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends elther to settle on a net basls, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Flnanclal assets Debtors Debtors which are receivable within one year and which do not constitute a financing transaction are Inltially measured at the transaction price. Debtors are subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. Where the arrangement with a debtor constitutes a financing transaction, the debtor is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. A provision for impairment of debtors Is established when there Is objective evldence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract. Impairment losses are recognised in income or expenditure for the excess of the carrying value of the trade debtor over the present value of the future cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate.

Where the arrangement with a creditor constitutes a financlng transaction, the creditor is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a simllar Instrument. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or are settled, or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or if some significant rlsks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. A financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Provlslons Provisions a recognised when the Group has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event which it is probable will result in the transfer of economic benefits and that obllgatlon can be estlmated rellably, Critical a¢¢ounting estimates and areas of judgement Estimates and Judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resuifing accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Pension Deflclt Liability In calculating the value of the contractual liability (detailed in Note 18), a discount rate of Soh has been applied to the payments due in future years in order to determine their present value. Expected Economic Useful Life of Fixed A55ets The useful economic life of fixed assets (detailed in Note 11) is a key accountlng estimate. Investment Properties The valuation of the investment properties (detailed in Note 12) Is reviewed annually by the Board to assess whether a there is a diminution in the carrying value of the assets. The percentage of 'mixed use, properties deemed as 'lnvestment property, Was calculated based on size of area as per the completed valuation survey by Innes England. 37

The assets of the YMCA Pension Plan are held separately from those of YMCA Leicestershi and at the year-end these were invested in the Mercer Dynamic De-risking Solution, 650/0 matchlng portfolio and 350/0 in the growth portfol io and Schroder {property units only). The most recent completed three year valuation was as at l May 2023. The assumptlons used which have the most slgnlflcant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets of 4. 560/0, the increase in pensions in payment of 3. 180/0 (for RPI capped at 50/0 p.a.), and the average life expeciancy from normal retirement age (of 65) for a current male pensioner of 21.5 years, female 24.0 years, and 23.1 years for a male pensioner, female 25.7 years, retiring in 20 years, time. The result of the valuation showed that the actuarlal value of the assets was £103.Im, which represented 920kn of the benefits that had accrued to members. The Pension Plan was closed to new members and future service accrual with effect from 30 April 2007. With the removal of the salary linkage for beneflts all employed deferred members became deferd members as from l May 2011. The valuation prepared as at l May 2023 showed that the YMCA Pension Plan had a deficit of £9.1 million. The Association has been advised that it will need to make monthly contribLJtions of £4,022 from l May 2024. This amount is based on the current actuarial assumptions (as outlined above) and may vary in the future as a result of actual performance of the Pension Plan. Agreed future deficit contributions have been discounted using a rate of 6.050/0 (2024: 6.730/0). The current recovery period is 3 years commencing 1st May 2024.
