STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Financial performance & position
The year under review for the charity closed with a surplus of £34,124 (2024 - £3,155) on gross income of £604,436 (2024 - £423,655). The financial position at the year-end as revealed by the balance sheet on page 11 shows net current assets of £370,510 (2024 - £331,275). The net book value of fixed assets held, all of which are used directly for charitable purposes, amounted to £228,053 (2024 - £233,164). In 2025 total reserves closed at £598,563 (2024 - £564,439). The Board monitors reserve levels quarterly, balancing responsible financial management with the delivery of the charity's core objectives.
Investment policy and objectives
The Trustees have opted to invest part of the charity reserves in low risk deposit accounts, offering competitive credit interest rates to maximize on bank interest.
Reserves policy
The reserves of the charity and the split between restricted and unrestricted funds are shown below. The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should cover the following:
12 months of the charities general running costs
Assumes all paid training placements are fully funded by the employer
Assumes no funding from Leeds City Council,
The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds for PATH to continue delivering training programs until alternative sources of funding are secured.
The free reserves of the charity were £370,510 as at 31st March 2025.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, one third or if their number is not a multiple of three then the nearest to one third shall retire from office at each Annual General Meeting. The members to retire shall be those who have been in office the longest since their last election appointment. Any new member appointed shall retain his/her office only until the next Annual General Meeting. But he/she shall then be eligible for re-election.
Nominees are appointed by the Board of Trustees.
Organisational structure
The board of trustees, which can have up to 9 members, administers the charity. The board meets quarterly and extraordinary meetings are called when necessary to address any urgent issues.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees undergo an induction to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction day they meet employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate with their role.
Key management remuneration
The trustees consider the board of trustees and the Chief Executive as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 10 and 18 to the accounts.
Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Officer and in accordance with the Charity's policy to withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
The remuneration of the key management personnel is set in accordance with appropriate pay scales and benchmarking to similar charities.
Related parties
Any individual with an interest in a matter being discussed at a meeting must declare the interest to the meeting. The chairman of the meeting will then decide whether that individual should withdraw during the discussion and, if not, whether the individual should be entitled to vote on the matter under discussion.
Transactions related to Trustees are detailed in note 10 & 18 to the financial statements.
Employers and associated training providers are also classed as panners in the delivery of PATH training programs. The organization's strengths are reflected through the commitment of our partnership with the placement providers and the close working relationship of our staff with placement supervision. PATH was also funded, during the year, by the Big Lottery Fund.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Path into recruitment
PATH's vision was to set up a recruitment agency as a way of generating funding in the absence of grant funding This was achieved In August 2007 by setting up a trading subsidiary, Path into Recruitment (PIR), of PATH Yorkshire. The plan was to gift aid any surplus where possible from the social enterprise to the holding company. The initial funding for PIR came from PATH as a loan and in January 2008 PIR was successful in securing additional funding in the form of a grant and loan from The Yorkshire Key Fund.
During 2010/11 a decision was taken to make the company dormant until such time as there was an upturn in the economy. It is evident that such time has not arrived and therefore the decision has been made for the company to remain dormant and be reviewed on a 6 monthly basis.
Risk management
The trustees and senior staff have maintained a risk register, identifying the major risk to which the charity is exposed. This is reviewed regularly by staff and reported to the board quarterly. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the impact these risks may have on the charities future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.
Constitution
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, the Liability of each member of the charity being limited to the amount which he or she has undertaken to contribute in the event of the charity being wound up. Such an amount may not exceed f1.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest f.
The significant accounting policies applied in preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which forecasts that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this financial report.
A forecast has been prepared for a period of more than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast indicates that, whilst taking into account reasonable downsides, sufficient funds are expected to be generated within the charity so as to meet liabilities as they fall due.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
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.
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, be 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 addressed below.
~~(i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets~~
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets are sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives under sides values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
(ii) Allocation of shared cost between multiple activities Support costs relate to those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity’s programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. All the general support and governance costs are allocated to activities at different percentages, on the basis of staff time relating to each activity.
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.
Income
All income is included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to it, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grant income
Grants are credited to the SOFA when the charity is entitled to the funds. Income is only deferred where there are time constraints imposed by the donor or if the funding is performance related.
Where entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity’s control, the income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met.
Gifts in kind
Assets or other gifts in kind given of use by the charity are recognised as incoming resources at their estimated market value when receivable.
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.
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.
Governance costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% reducing balance Plant and machinery - 10% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance
Capital grants received are deducted from the cost of the assets to which they relate. All assets are valued at historic cost.
Fixed asset investment
Fixed asset investments are recognised at historic cost less any diminution in value.
Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
