## Yorkshire Band of Hope Union TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The trustees submit their report and the financial statements of Yorkshire Band of Hope Union for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives, set out in the Constitution, are to promote total abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs and to help children that live and are educated in Yorkshire in particular, but not exclusively, make healthy life choices through the following activities:
- Designing, selling and delivering education and training materials on the effects of alcohol, smoking and illegal drugs to the body and society in general
- Training the public in all aspects concerning the misuse of alcohol and drugs in order to promote total abstinence, moral and family welfare and the care and upbringing of children through good parenting skills
- Training people responsible for children, in particular by facilitating access to good quality educational materials and courses on the delivery of materials
- Running or supporting children’s activities associated to partner charities, churches, schools or community groups in a safe environment and away from the dangers of alcohol and illegal drug use
- Partnering with like minded organisations to further any of the above objectives
When planning activities for the year, the trustees have considered Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year we have been involved in raising the awareness of dangers of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs to:
Schools.
- 12 lessons at 2 primary schools - 360 pupils
- 8 sessions at 1 high school’s health fair - 230 pupils
## Community Events
- 1 Drug information stalls - 50 adults
Overall, 590 pupils were reached across 3 schools. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lessons which had previously been booked had to be cancelled. In March we would have had 4 primary schools booked in addition to a parent’s session where we would have taught a further 23 lessons and 612 pupils.
One high school with 2 sessions and 5 pupils also cancelled, together with an Easter holiday club.
We would have had further bookings in our regular schools and had other meetings planned with schools and clubs to discuss our work.
At the beginning of the year we were able to attend in person at several events and training sessions in Kirklees and Leeds, and one in Rochdale with other health professionals. Later in the year we attended events using video calls; overall we were successful in engaging with over 300 adults.

Yorkshire Band of Hope Union TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The staff were placed on furlough for nearly six months from the end of April 2020. The last two months of the year our staff have been developing online learning courses and lessons for schools to access via our website.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
The general fund amounted to £685,378 at 31 December 2020 (2019: £637,628). The Trustees consider the level of funds to be prudent having regard to the charity’s anticipated future requirements.
A portfolio of stock market investments is held and professionally managed with the primary purpose of generating both capital growth over the longer term and a regular income stream of modest amount to fund day to day expenditure.
At the balance sheet date, the market value of the managed investments amounted to £613,643 (2019£570,532). Investments are recorded in the balance sheet at cost and hence, unrealised gains or losses are not recognised in the Receipts and Payments Account.
## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is a non- corporate registered charity (number 227228), operated according to its constitution, which was adopted as revised in 1950, and amended 13 March 1971.
Alterations to the constitution can only be made by a majority of members present at the AGM. The Motion, with the terms of the proposed alteration, must be with the executive at least four weeks prior to the AGM.
The charity is under the day to day control of the Trustees who are elected each year from the charities personal membership at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Trustees meet at least four times a year on dates determined by the Trustees. At the first meeting after the AGM, the Trustees appoint the Chair and Vice Chair.
The Annual Report and Accounts for the year are approved at the AGM, together with any other business that is considered necessary.
Special Meetings may be called by the elected trustees at the request of any member. Notice of meetings stating the business to be considered shall be sent to all trustees at least two weeks prior to the date of the meeting. Four Trustees are required to form a quorum.
The trustees agree the broad strategy for the trust, including consideration of investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance.
The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises an initial meeting with the Chair and the Board, followed by a series of short meetings with the chair on investments, and the powers and responsibilities of the trustee board. The welcome pack includes a brief history of the Trust, copies of relevant Board minutes, a copy of the latest annual reports and accounts, a copy of the governing constitution and a copy of the Charity Commission’s guidance ‘The essential Trustee: What you need to know’.
## RISK
The major risks to which the charity is exposed as identified by the trustees have been reviewed and systems have been established to manage those risks.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE YORKSHIRE BAND OF HOPE UNION
I report on the financial statements of Yorkshire Band of Hope Union for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
## RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENTS
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
