YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Fundraising
This year as for most was an unprecedented year, with curtailment of many commissioned services resulting in reduced income and associated costs. However the commitment to the charitable sector as a result of the pandemic saw Young Gloucestershire achieve a record fundraising year with some significant funding contributing to core costs (something we often don’t receive) the successful fundraising allowed Young Gloucestershire to launch a significant number of programmes in response to the Covid pandemic.
Young Gloucestershire purchased a property in October 2020. This was achieved with the assistance of donations by funders. This included St James’s Place, Summerfield Trust, Garfield Weston and CHK.
Young Gloucestershire employs one full time fundraiser whose main focus is applying for grants from charitable foundations, corporations and events. We also have an online giving page and a text donate number. We do not contact individuals directly asking for donations, and so no-one is put under any pressure to make a donation. We do not use any third party's to fundraise on our behalf, and none of the fundraising that is undertaken is bound by any voluntary regulated scheme. If a fundraising event is organised on behalf of YG, information is provided on our website on how to do this, but this activity is not monitored.
We have not received any complaints regarding fundraising.
Financial review
Young Gloucestershire’s financial performance remained strong despite the global pandemic.
Total income was £2,029,600 including donations towards the purchase of the property of £427,250, excluding these gives an income for the year of £1,602,350, this is a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year. The income generated through payment by results was adversely affected, however successful applications for grants specifically aimed to assist organisations through this challenging period increased.
Expenditure for the year was £1,503,185; a reduction in cost of 13.5% compared to 2019/2020.
In October 2020, Young Gloucestershire purchased a new building at the Docks in Gloucester. Donations towards refurbishment and replacement costs totalled £28,000 with associated expenditure of £136,578.
We aim for full cost recovery wherever possible but certain projects will never be self-supporting, so we look to diversify income streams to cover shortfalls in those activities which form an essential part of the charity’s aims and objectives. A total of £184,149 has been transferred from the unrestricted fund to the restricted fund in this financial year.
The total net income for the year was £529,682 (2020: £41,038). This leaves the charity with general unrestricted funds of £321,979, designated funds of £655,436 and restricted funds of £439,012.
Reserves policy
The trustees have a policy to hold in liquid free reserves, (as net cash and readily available investments) an approximate sum required for continuing the operation of the charity for three to six months. The trustees are of the opinion that an appropriate level of liquid free reserves would be in the range of £380,000 - £750,000. This would give time, in the event of a curtailment in income, for further funding to be secured.
At the year end, the charity was holding as net current assets a sum of £444,969 of which £5,675 were restricted and so unavailable for general use. This leaves the charity with liquid free reserves of £439,294. The charity is therefore meeting its objectives.
The long term creditor represents the mortgage and is secured on the property. For this reason, both are excluded from liquid free reserves.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Principal funding sources
The financial statements detail the sources of funds available to the charity. Incoming resources which warrant separate mention are as follows:
-
£102,054 through colleges for the funding of Prince’s Trust Team programme,
-
£159,857 from the NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group for the work of our mental health and counselling services.
-
£84,140 for the delivery of transitions support services from Gloucestershire County Council.
-
• The charity has also received funding from a variety of other sources including St James Place (£49,952), Julia and Han Rausing (£115,796), Spirax Sarco (£8,500), Four Acre Trust, (£25,000) Barclays (£100,000) & Global's Make Some Noise (£43,548), all of whom provide funding to enable the charity to carry out its charitable objectives.
-
Support from St James’s Place (£200,000), Garfield Weston (£75,000), Summerfield Trust (£100,000) CHK (£42,000) enabled the purchase of the building to take place.
Investment policy
The charity has reserves and in addition it receives funding in advance of the delivery of programmes. The policy for use of funds that are not required immediately is to maximise interest by using bank and building society deposits on a three to six month term. The charity uses several different institutions to spread the risk following the recent problems with the banks. There is a small investment in an equity based fund which made a gain of £3,267 in the year.
Risk assessment
The trustees and staff assess on an on-going basis the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and to the health and safety of its employees and the public.
In doing so the board of trustees has created a risk register that brings all the risks from across the organisation together and highlights the key risks for the organisation. The current top risks for the organisation are:
-
Single person dependency CEO – a lot of the organisations knowledge and experience is held by the CEO, if she moves on this creates a risk for the organisation.
-
Funding – the current funding environment is uncertain, there is a lot of competition for limited funding amounts. Following the pandemic there is concern that there will be a shortage of funding in coming years.
-
Recruitment of appropriate skill sets – the youth work sector is changing and there is a reduction in trained and skilled youth workers.
The following strategies have been put in place:
-
Single person dependency CEO – The senior management team continues to develop from strength to strength with responsibility being split for income generation. Two new coordinators have been appointed further strengthening the management team, and the team of leads is developing managing the day to day staff and work.
-
Funding – YG has been working hard in diversifying its funding sources including contracts and grant funding, we continue to seek to do this to spread the risk of loss of funding. We have seen a positive result from our fundraising efforts this year.
-
Recruitment of appropriate skillsets – Over recent years YG has found it needs a wider and more varied skillsets to deliver the services we deliver. The services we deliver are reliant on the skillset of the staff delivering these services. YG has been widening the range of qualifications it seeks and exploring the development opportunities available to the team to ensure we can meet these needs. As the organisation is growing we are diversifying our skills and this is having a positive impact.

YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees, who are also the directors of Young Gloucestershire Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Young Gloucestershire Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) .
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' r eport, which includes the d irectors ' r eport prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the d irectors ' r eport included within the trustees' r eport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUNG GLOUCESTERSHIRE LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the d irectors ' r eport included within the trustees' r eport.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' r eport and from the requirement to prepare a s trategic r eport.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the s tatement of trustees' r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial 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 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below .
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
We identified the laws and regulations relevant to the charity from discussions with the board and the finance team. The laws that we consider may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operation of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, employment. health and safety, and data protection.
We ensured that the audit engagement team collectively has the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify non-compliance with the applicable laws and regulations noted above.
We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations through enquiries with the trustees and members of the finance committee and inspecting legal costs, and assessing any correspondence with the charity commission over the year.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud may occur, by:
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, and their knowledge of any actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
assessing and testing the internal controls in place to mitigate fraud risks and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
performed analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias;
reviewed a sample tested journal entries to confirm that they were genuine transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
agreeing financial statement disclosures to the underlying supporting documentation; reviewing the minutes of meetings of the board as to actual and potential litigation and claims; checking for correspondence from the Charity Commission.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Young Gloucestershire Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Old Dock Office, Commercial Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 2EB.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. 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.
Designated funds are funds set aside by the directors out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors 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.
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.
Secondments are quantified in the Statement of Financial Activities by reference to the salary scales of the entity providing the secondees. Gifts of assets are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the fair value of the donated asset at the time of donation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
When donors specify that amounts given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income if deferred until those periods.
When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the preconditions for use have been met.
When donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to preconditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
Grants from the Government and other agencies have been included as income from activities in furtherance of the charity's objects on an accruals basis where these amount to a contract for services.
1.5 Expenditure
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis. Inclusive of any VAT, that cannot be recovered.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure and have been allocated to activity cost categories on the basis of staff time or usage per capita.
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 | 50 years straight line |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | 5 years and 8 years straight line |
| Computers | 4 years straight line |
| Motor vehicles | 4 years straight line |
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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 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 ) .

1.9 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.
1.10 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.
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 p aymen ts 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 .
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 .
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 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.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
