## **Trustees' Report**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
Bournemouth YMCA was the sole trustee throughout the year and the Charity runs the Pokesdown Community Youth Centre. Appointment of the Trustee was made by a Charity Commission Scheme dated 21 November 2000. Strategic decisions are made by the Board of Trustees of Bournemouth YMCA, with the chairman holding the casting vote.
The objective of the charity as set out in the constitution is: -
To help educate boys and girls through their leisure time activities and so to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and their conditions of life may be improved.
The Trustees have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Charitable Activities**
Pokesdown Community Youth Centre continues to operate as a youth and community centre in the Southbourne area of Bournemouth. Pokesdown is one of the oldest youth clubs in the country with thousands of young people having benefited over 100+ years.
Pokesdown Youth provides a safe place for children and young people to go, providing positive opportunities for them to develop personal and social/interpersonal skills. They are supported by trained youth workers, who are able to advise, encourage and work with young people at a critical time in their lives, to maximise their potential. After a period of time where we have not been able to run youth sessions ourselves due to funding restrictions we have near the end of the financial year appointed a new Youth Development Coordinator and we will be restarting the weekly youth sessions in 2025/2026.
Other children and youth work took place from the facilities throughout the year including the running of a Child Contact Centre, the Southbourne and Pokesdown Family Hub, parties and others just making use of our facilities and we also used a room for the YMCA’s Counselling service to provide support to the staff working in the building and for their clients, which includes young people. 2024 saw the hire of the Pokesdown Youth Centre by Aspire Sports, who run children’s holiday clubs and support local schools, and they have been engaging young people 1:1 with support.
Lettings of premises help to make the centre financially viable when not in use by the youth team or for other children and youth activities. Our office hirers 365 Degree Learning continued to be in throughout 2024, but unfortunately stopped in early 2025. Mr G Nicholls, who produces/mixes music for the game/motion picture industry, also continued to hire the upstairs sound room. The hall bookings continued to grow over the year with more regular hirers, including ongoing weekly use by a Church, and one-off birthday/anniversary parties and exercise classes being held. Income from lettings amounted to £62,683 for the year compared to a budget of £39,675.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Financial review**
In 2024/25 the charity experienced a net surplus for the year of £2,203 and an increase in reserves to £101,650, of which £34,199 are restricted but are now being used to support the new Youth Development Coordinator role. Reserves are held for the furtherance of the development of the activities of Pokesdown Community Youth Centre and its premises, with the restricted reserves specifically for benefiting young people of the local area.
The Battersby Trust have continued to support young people in the Pokesdown area with funding of £4,913 released throughout the year.
YMCA Bournemouth continued to be proactive in increasing resources to the fundraising team throughout the period to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the charity. The charity undertakes its own fundraising activities and does not use the services of a professional fundraiser or commercial participator. In doing so, it provides information to individuals who express and interest in donating to the charity or leaving a legacy, but it does not directly canvass individuals for fundraising purposes but relies on Charitable Trusts for financial support.
YMCA Bournemouth is registered with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and has produced a fundraising strategy for the future. During the year 2024/2025 the charity has received no complaints in respect of the charity’s fundraising activities.
Total expenditure for the year was £66,351 compared to the budget of £63,594. All financial commitments were met, and all compliance works completed. There was no capital investment in the centre in this financial year.
The Trustees consider that the financial performance reflects the activity undergone in the period and continue to be satisfied that future benefits will be derived from them.
The report is a fair review of the Pokesdown Community and Youth Centre’s business and is in accordance with the SORP.
## **Plans for future periods**
Ongoing promotion of the community hall, youth areas and music facilities will continue to help find regular income streams which will enable the sustainability of the youth work. We aim to restart regular youth weekly sessions to support the young people in the Pokesdown and Southbourne areas. We also want to continue to develop and extend the counselling offer from the Youth Centre to support more young people, and their families as well as other clients and staff.
The Trustees are committed to focussing on the Christian ethos of the Charity and develop and expand this area as a support mechanism to the youth work.
In conclusion, the trustees would like to record our thanks to everyone involved and committed to the Charity who tirelessly and sacrificially give of themselves for the benefit of others.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
Bournemouth YMCA, and it's trustees, are the sole trustees of the Charity.
Bournemouth YMCA is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Trustees are elected Full Members of the Association at the Annual General Meeting. The Board of Trustees have power of co-option, up to one third of its numbers during the year and such person co-opted are eligible for election at the next AGM.
## **Structure of Group**
Bournemouth YMCA (Company No. 3817056 and Charity No. 1078728) act as the parent to Pokesdown Community Youth Centre. Full consolidated accounts for these two entities along with other group member Townsend Youth Partnership (Company No. 04236016 and Charity No. 1093213) can be found in the accounts section of the Bournemouth YMCA page on the Charity Commission.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Board members are recruited with the assistance of a skills matrix for need and experience required on the Board at the time. All Board members must be Christians as per the articles below and are recruited from the full membership of the Association. Board members are voted on to the Board at the Annual AGM meeting and will consist of between 6-12 people.
## **Risk Management**
The major risks during the period were to the funding of the youth work, which is secured for the next two years, and the maintaining of regular hirers to cover the running costs of the building, which ensures the financial viability in the medium term.
The continual updating of Policies and Procedures remained a key priority, together with the Risk Register.
A review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed has been undertaken and systems established to mitigate those risks.
## **KPI’s**
Key Performance Indicators are set and are regularly reviewed to ensure quality of provision and performance by the Youth and Business Development teams.
Annual Appraisals are undertaken which allows for a continuing assessment of performance and corrective action if required.

## **2 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; **•** the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
## **Key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Freehold land has not been depreciated because the trustees consider the high level of ongoing maintenance extends the life of the asset for an indefinite period. The trustees have considered whether any impairment has occurred and are not aware of any events or matters (such as damage or exceptional deterioration) that will require a write down against the carrying value of the property.
## **Income and endowments**
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations and grants are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants (including government grants) are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Other trading activities**_
Fees receivable and charges for services are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.
## _**Investment income**_
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided).

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (continued)**
## **2 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## _**Raising funds**_
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the Charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management and Trustee's meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Fixtures and fittings brought forward at the 1 January 2019 are depreciated on a four year straight line basis using the net book value brought forward as at 1 January 2019.
Any new additions after this date are depreciated at cost over the useful economic life of the asset. All the depreciation policies for new additions from the 1 January 2019 are summarised below.
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Land|Not depreciated|
|Furniture and equipment|4 year straight line|
