Statgmgnt of Public Benefit
The Trustees consider they have complied with th8 duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard
lo public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
In the year under review the Association worked across three main Servi￿ areas which provided benefit not only
lo our Servi￿ users but also lo the wider community. We wort( with people from all social and ethnic backgrounds
and provide services in the cities of Birmingham and Coventry and the boroughs of Solihull and Rugby, focussing
on inspiring people lo reach their potential.
During the year, we provided 264 bed spaces of supported accommodation each night. These properties provide
supported housing lo vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. We work with people to provide skills and confidence
lo move towards independent living and to begin contributing to the wder community. In addition, we provided 66

rents.
Flnanclal Revlew
Statement of Comprehenslve Income
Overall income increased this year by 21 Q/0. The variance is due to 8 combination of factors, including a 70/0 rent
increase, as well as increases in our Service Charges and the completion of our new development of 27 units at
Northfield, Mary Court.
Operating costs increased by 120A compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to a combination of
increased maintenance and service chargeable costs within the housing schemes, with added inflationary costs
due to the general rise in prices, alongside additional selllemenl and recruitment costs due to changes within the
organisation. Also, after retaining Billy Bears Nursery and initially receiving an Inadequate Ofsted report, a lot of
work was done lo improve this section, resulting in a Good rating al the follow up inspection.
The year saw the completion of our new development in Northfield, Mary Court. This includes 27 new units and
was opened in January 2024. The increased revenue from this development will start to be fully realised during
the next financial year.
The Youth and Communities section of the organisation have all been facing financial challenges through the
year, which saw some operational changes implemented towards the end of the year. This should bring a
turnaround in the performance for this area. Included in this is a partnership which has coMMen￿d with
2MuchPassion. From March 2024, Eden Café will be run in partnership with 2MuchPassion. which will generate
a guaranteed rental revenue scheme for YMCA Heart of England.
Interest costs has increased by 137'/0 compared to last year due to the increase in Bank of England base rate.
alongside the full drawdown of the loans with Unity Bank, which were required for the completion of the
development at Northfield.
Statement of Flnanclal Posltlon
Grovrth in a$sot baso
Intangible Assets have reduced due to the continued depreciation of the assets held. Included in the asset base
is the cost of the new CRM software. The CRM software is an asset for the organisation because il will help lo
streamline activities and improve reporting. Once the software is fully implemented, the organisalion expects to
see savings in adminislralive costs and improved reporting. This is expected to be in use across the organisation
by June 2024.

Immediatg Op9rating Environment
From April 2024, we continue lo ensure that the Association has strong liquidity and that committed bank facilities
will remain available and that the value of Charged security Continues lo meet loan asset cover requirements.
We know that the impact COVID-19 coupled with impact of the war in Ukraine, financial issues at Birmingham
City Council and inflation have made the operating environment more difficult and places more stress on external
funding. Our Boards focus has been on Liquidity during this reporting year and will continue to do so.
Value for Money Statement
YMCA Heart of England is al the forefront of homeless prevention and alleviation in Birmingham, Coventry and
Rugby. These activities have come under increasing pressure through the combination of funding cuts, the social
housing rent reduction policy and the inevitable rise in homelessness and rough sleeping. This means OLJr
resources need to be managed efficiently so we can support as many people as possible. Our annual budget
planning process includes scrutiny of each service, staffing complement and associated costs to ensure that our
resources are focused on delivering the highest quality of services to our residents that we can realistically afford.
The same level of scrutiny is applied for our other services.. nursery provision, conferencing and our youth work.
Each area is monitored regularly at subcommittee level in respect of social and financial outcomes lo ensure that
we continue to deliver the highest quality can within the resources available. In addition, where funding is received
from grant giving bodies le.g. the Youth Investment Fund) our spending pl8ns are subject lo external scrutiny to
ensure that they deliver value for money.
We are reporting on the Regulator of Social Housing IRSHI Value for Money standard and accompanying code
of practice. The standard requires us to publish perfomance against our own v81ue for money targets and against
a series of common metrics with which to measure economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
The purpose of the Value for Money approach is lo..
Continue to drive improvements in VFM within the social housing sector
Ensure a strategic approach lo delivering VFM is embedded within the business
Encourage investing in existing homes and new housing supply
Enhance the consistency, comparability and transparency of VFM reporting.
We set out below a comparison between this year and last on our performance. Additionally, we have compared
our performance lo the National Housing Federation Sector Scorecard using the median.

complete our development al Northfield.

years.

This represents our net debt lo lenders as a percentage of the total cost of our housing properties. We have been
successful in working with Homes England and other partners to keep borrowing as low as possible. Whilst this
ratio remains low, we understand to deliver social v8lue we need lo be financi8lly sound and make the most of
our resources to deliver the services that our customers need. We also need to provide assurance lo our lenders
and funders. The loan with Unity Bank was ulilised this year.

Going Concern and Viability Statements
In assessing viability, the Board considered several key factors, including business models, our strategy, and risk
appetite. Our assessment of viability therefore continues lo align with a 5-year outlook.
The Board has assessed the organisalions viability and have reasonable expectation of being able to continue
the operation for the foreseeable future. The Board's focus following Covid-19 is lo place a stronger emphasis
on liquidity and solvency and ensuring that the Association has adequate resources to ¢onlinue in operation, meet
it liabilities as they fall due, and relain sufficient available cash across all two years wilhoul breaching any loan
covenant.
The board have considered the number of challenges effected the housing sector and the contributing factors
starting with Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine with rising energy prices and supply chain disruptions coupled
with an increase in inflation and interest rates. These challenges are having a significant Impact on our residents,
many of whom are struggling with necessities.
We are taking a number of steps to address these challenges. Regular stress testing is perfomed on the
Association and different scenarios and sensitivities have been reviewed on the Association's projected cashflow
position and financial eovenanl. We also Considered increase in rent arrears and bad debt. Should these occur,
we have identified the limit for financial viability.
We are also working with the government to secure funding to support residents and reducing the essential
development work and capital repairs.
The Board are satisfied the business model and str8tegy is adaptsble with minimum risk on liquidity and solvency.
We have taken a series of steps lo strengthen the Association's liquidity and increase the resilience of the balance
sheet.
We are also looking lo the future. The provision of social housing has vital part to play in the government's
response lo this crisis and they have already announced significant sums of money lo help boost S￿la1 housing
supply and end rough sleeping for good. The delivery of more social housing is one of the key strategic objectives
in YMCA Heart of England's new strategic plan and we are already in discussions with local councils in our area
of benefit with a view lo securing some of the recently annoUn￿d government money for investment in social
housing.
The Board of Directors has recognised the immense potential and importanTr of supporting young people in the
wider community. We firmly believe that by empowering and nurturing the next generation, we can create a
positive impact and shape a brighter future. To achieve this, we are committed and will be investing in Youth next
year.
Reserves Policy
The Finance Sub-committee, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, conducts an ongoing review of the level of
reserves consislenl with ongoing activities of the Charity. The trustees are taking into consideration the economic
environment and risks associated with the various sources of income, expenditure plans and what level of working
capital is required to continue core activities. The reserve policy is considered every quarter in line with the
quarterly accounts.
We use a rolling five-year forecast lo model how we will fund the delivery of our strategy.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
{Incorporatlng the Strategic Report)
We monitor managed cash which includes all amounts available lo finance the general activities nel of any
financing agreements. The Iruslees have agreed that managed operating cash should exceed a minimum of
three months lo six months annualised forecast cash outflow.
Financial performance and forecast information is monitored monthly lo assess the cash requirements of the
Charity. The reserve policy is considered and monitored every quarter.
Our Reserve Policy is set to take into consideration..
Income risk reserve to protect the charity against a fall in income levels
Working capital reserve to provide working capital if expenditure is needed ahead of income being
received
Designated reserves sel aside lo meet essential future spending and unplanned emergency repairs and
other expenditure.
Level of funding for unexpected opportunities
As we are approaching the remainder of the year with caution and with cost of living issues remaining, as well as
interest rale movement uncertainty, our target has been met but with room for improvement.
Our Cash Reserves measured as at 31 March 2024

the potential outflow for the purchase of The Orchard property. While our cash reserves are al a relatively higher
level al March 2024, due lo the expected funding requirements for the purchase of The Orchard property and
other infrastructure investments. there is likely to be some dip in this in the near future.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We are commilled lo the principles of Good Govemance. The Iruslees adopt the National Housing Federation's
INHFI 2020 code of governance lo measure good governance practices as well as the Charity Governance Code.
Dele
ation and control
The board regularly reviews which mallers are reserved lo the board and which can be delegated. It collectively
exercises the powers of delegation lo senior managers, oommillees or individual Iruslees, stsff or volunteers. The
board has not recently reviewed its delegated powers bul intends lo do so in the forthcoming year and is in the
process of pulling together a scheme of delegation.
The board regularly considers information from other similar organisalions to compare or benchmark the
organisation's performance.
At the moment salaries are the only area where we benchmark. (We co-ordinate production of a biennial YMCA
salary survey.) We are currendy working with YMCA colleagues across the region to produce comparative data
for operational perf0mlan￿.
Activel
mana
risks
The board retains overall responsibility for risk management and discusses and decides the level of risk il is
prepared lo accept for specific and combined risks.
The board regularly reviews the charity's specific significant risks and the cumulative effect of these risks. 11 makes
plans lo mitigat8 and manage these risks appropriately.
The charity considers using a Govemanc8 Committee lo lead the board appointment process and to make
recommendations lo the board. This will include a policy for training and inducting new trustees.
The board reviews its own performance and that of individual trustees, including the chair. Such evaluation
typically considers the board's balance of skills, experien￿ and knowledge, its diversity in the widest sense, how
the board works together and other factors relevant lo its effectiveness.
The board reviews its collective effectiveness al an annual board away day. This discipline has continued
throughout the current pandemic. However, we have not previously reviewed the performance of Iruslees on an
individual basis, this has been introduced through a robust skills and competency matrix and will be reviewed by
trustees in the current financial year.
Notwithstanding this, the Association considers itself to have high standards of governance. The policies of the
Charity are determined by the Board of Trustees, which meets bi-monthly. The Charity's operations are managed
by the Chief Executive, who reports to the Board of Trustees. The Charity has a system of internal controls
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss due lo fraud
or error. The system includes corporate controls over income and budget comparison, proper supervision and
delegation including operational and financial review procedures, limilalion on the spending power of individuals
and control over the Charity s assets. The internal controls are subject to regular review and are updated lo take
account of organisational and operational changes. There are four sub-committees that meet bi-monthly on
matters of housing, finance, development and social enterprise.
A review of governance structures was undertaken in the year under review. This has already resulted in improved
perfomiance reporting to trustees through the Association's operational committees. In the current year it will also
lead to the overhauling of the Key Performance Indicators against which officers, perfomance is assessed.

HEART OF ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Heart of England Young
Men's Christian Association (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements as a whole are
free from materi81 misstalemenl, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is 8 high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements arise from fraud or errorand are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of
these financial stslements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent lo which these
are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the Association has lo comply with and areas of
the financial statements we assessed as being more su$￿ptib1e lo misstslemenl. These key laws and
regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and
the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2022, Charities
(Protection and Social Investment) A¢t 2016, Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, taxation
legislation, data prote¢tion, anli-bribery and employment legislation.
We are not responsible for preventing irregularities, including fraud. Our approach to detecting
irregularities, including fraud, included, bul was not limited to, the following..
obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Association
and how the association is complying with that framework, including agreement of financial
statement disclosures lo underlying documentation and other evidence,.
obtaining an understanding of the Association's control environment and how the Association has
applied relevant control pro￿dure$, through discussions with Trustees and olher management
and by perfomiing walklhrough lesling over key areas.,
obtaining an understanding of the Association's risk assessment process, including the risk of
fraud.,
reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with governance throughout the year., an
perfomiing audit lesling to address the risk of management override of controls, including lesling
journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting
eslimales for bias.
Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the
likelihood of detection of fraud based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently
more difficult to delecl than those arising from error.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities,
including those leading lo a material misslalemenl in the financial ststemenls or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial ststements, as we will be less likely lo become aware
of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring dLJe lo fraud
rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at= www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibililies. This description forms
part of our auditor's report.

subsequently measured at the present value of futLJre payments discoLJnted at a market rate of interest for a
similar debt instrument.
A provision for impaimenl of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will
not be collected according lo the original terms of the contract. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss
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. Subsequent reversals of an impairment loss that objectively relate to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, are recognised immediately in income or expenditure.

Financial Liabilities
Trade creditors
Trade creditors payable within one year that do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured al
the transaction Pri￿ and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any
amounts sellled.
Where the arrangement with a trade creditor constitutes a financing Iransaclion, the creditor is initially and
subsequently measured at the present value of future payTnenls discounted at a market rate of interest for a
similar instrument.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently
measured al amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of
the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and other similar charges.
Provlslons
The Association recognises provisions where il has an obligation at the reporting dale as a result of a past event,
which il is probable will result in the transfer of economic benefits and that obligation can be eslimaled reliably.
Provisions are measured al the best estimate of the amounts reqUI￿d lo settle the obligation. Where the effect
of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted
al the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specific lo the liability. The unwinding of the discount is
recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
Intangible Fixed Assets
Intangible fixed assets are staled al cost less accumulated amortisation. Intangible assets acquired on business
combinations are capilalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial
recognition. Provision is made for any impairment.
Depreciation is provided evenly on the wsl of intangible fixed assets lo write them down lo their estimated
residual values over their expected useful lives. The principal period used for intangible assets is five years.
Tangible Fixed Assets- Housing Properties
Housing properties are properties for the provision of social housing and are principally properties available for
rent.
Completed housing properties are slated al cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, and expenditure incurred during the development period.
Only the direct overhead costs inclLJding interest associated with new developments or improvements are
capilalised.
Housing properties are transferred al cost lo completed properties when they are ready for letting.
Works lo existing properties which replace a component that has been treated sepaffitely for depreciation
purposes, along wlh those works that enhance the economic benefits of the asset, are capilalised as
improvements. Such enhancements can occur if improvements result in either..
An increase in rental income-,
A material reduction in future maintenance costs.,

Depreciation of Housing Properties
Freehold land or assets under construction are not depreciated.
The Association separately identifies the major components of ils housing properties and charges depreciation
so as lo write down the cost of each component lo its estimated residual value, on a slraight-line basis over its
estimated useful economic life.
The Association depreciates the major components of its housing properties based on the following..

Impairments of Fixed Assets
An assessment is made al each reporting dale of whether there are indications that a fixed asset lincluding
housing properties) may be impaired or that an impairment loss previously recognised has fully or partially
reversed. If such indications exist. the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.
Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts, being the higher of fair
value less costs lo sell and value-in-use of the asset based on its service polenlial, are recognised as impairment
losses in income and expenditure.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed rf, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to
apply. Reversals of impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. On reversal
of an impaimient loss, the depreciation or amortisation is adjusted lo allocate the asset's revised carrying amount
(less any residual value) over its remaining useful life.
other Tangible Fixed Assets
Other tangible fixed assets are initially measured al cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Dep￿CIall0n is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold18nd and investment properties, at rates
calculated lo write off the cost or valuation of each asset lo its estimaled residual value on a slraight-line basis
over its expected useful life, as follows..
Freehold Premises
ICT Hardware
Fixtures & Fittings

10
Residual value is calculated on prices prevailing al the reporting date, after estimated costs of disposal, for the
asset as if it were at the age and in the condition expected al the end of its useful life.

Reserves
Income and Expendlture Reserve
Income and Expenditure Reserves are unrestricted reserves and represent surpluses generated from operating
activities.
Designated Reserve
These funds are those unrestricted funds which have been set aside by trustees for an essential spend or future
purpose. These funds form part of unrestricted Income and Expenditure reserve. Generally, these funds cover
the replacing or improvement of the charity's assets.
Restricted Reserve
Reslricled Reserves are tied lo a particular purpose. These funds are specified by a third party and impose
terms and conditions stipulating the funding must be spent on a particular purpose.
Revaluation Re$grv9
A revaluation reserve is a noncash reserve and created to reflect the true value of the asset representing the
deemed cost of housing properties on transition to FRS102.
Critical areas of judgement and accounting estimates
In preparing these financial statements, the keyjudgemenls have been made in respect of the following=
Pension Liability
The critical underlying assumptions in relation lo the estimate of the pension defined benefit scheme obligation
such as rates of inflation, mortality, discount rale and salary increases. These assumptions have the ability to
influence the value of the liability. These assumptions are based on the actuarial advice.
Bad Debt Provision
Assumptions between budgetsry and debt provisions are assumed. These assumptions include eslimalion of
uncertainty against future recognition of certain accounts receivable as being uncollected.
Leases
In categorising leases as finan￿ leases or operating leases, management makes judgements as to whether
significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the Heart of England YMCA.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews ils estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting dale, based on the
expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technological obsolescence that may
change the utility of ￿rtain software and IT equipment and changes to decent homes standards which may
require more frequent replacement of key ¢omponenls.

17. Pension obligations
Heart of England YMCA participated in a contributory pension plan providing defined benefits based on final
pensionable pay for employees of YMCAS in England, Scotland and Wales. The assets of the YMCA Pension
Plan are held separately from those of Heart of England YMCA and at the year end these were invested in the
Mercer Dynamic De-risking Solution, 650/0 matching portfolio and 350/0 in the growth portfolio and Schroder
(property units only).
The most recent completed three year valuation was as at 1 May 2023. The assumptions used which have the
most significant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets
of 4.56Q/., the increase in pensions in payment of 3.180/. (for RPI capped at 50/. p.a.), and the average life
expectancy from normal retirement age lof 651 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, lime. The result of the valuation
showed that the actuarial value of the assets was £103.1 m, which represented 92Q/ts of the benefits that had
accrued lo members.
The Pension Plan was closed lo new members and future Servi￿ accrual with effect from 30 April 2007. With
the removal of the salary linkage for benefits all employed deferred members became deferred members as
from 1 May 2011.
