OUR CHAIR’S OPENING REPORT:
A short report of a very successful year for WYCF which has, for years, been a very important facility for many different groups of people in the Winsford area with the hopes that future generations will continue to benefit from this vital service.
Our financial position has improved and we are on the road to recovery from the likes of Covid but now are up against increased costs in utility bills and all in sundry. With thanks to the efforts of our admin team, who have managed to secure support from several of our Funders and Supporters.
We hope the forthcoming year continues to be successful, enabling WYCF to continue to offer this worthwhile service to the public.
Thanking all those people Involved.

The Trustees of Winsford Youth & Community Forum (WYCF) are pleased to present our 41[st] Annual Report for the year of 2022-2023.
Our hopes for the year were to continue increasing general usage and attendance via partnerships and other organisations in the local area and for the centre to remain a central focus point for the community.
This report includes our charitable status, support and our work with partners, a general overview of our delivery and plans for the future.

OUR VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF TEAM
Throughout 2022 we continued to work hard and get back to working in the centre environment as much of 2021 was spend working at home due to the pandemic.
The Chatterbox Café staff and volunteers worked extremely hard to reinstate our very popular café to support our most isolated and vulnerable community members and we are very grateful to them for their contribution.
The army of volunteers that support the organisation were back in full force,
contributing to the centre and as always, we are very appreciative of their endless time and support.
The activities and groups which are supported by these individuals simply would not function or run without their support and we would like to extend our thanks to the following:
-
Action for Leisure (Adult SEND Group) – Lynn, Anne, Paul and Cathy.
-
Junior Youth Provision – Brandon, Donna, Tony
-
Chatterbox Café – Anne, Edna, Donna, Zoe

IT Support – Adam, Chris and John
-
Bingo – Kath, Irene, Alex and Edna
We also show our appreciation for the young people who have completed their work experience through the princess trust programme.
We are very lucky to have such a varied group of volunteers that are happy to provide their time and skills – we really do appreciate their efforts and understand that they play a huge part in our aim to continue supporting our local community!

PARTNERSHIP WORKING
Partnership work is really important to us - it enables us to further support the Community with events, activities and projects. Here are just some of the examples of partnership work that has taken place during this period:
-
Continued our joined-up approach of ‘one Winsford’, working closely and collaboratively with several partners that include; Weaver Vale Housing Trust, Motherwell, GGO, Community Grocery and Changing Lives Together.
-
Collaborated with the police and fire services again, targeting ASB during the Halloween/Bonfire period. A number of preventative measures were put into place to reduce this. Our offer of support was based around the school October half term, where activities included a Play Day plus some family learning events. We ensured the centre remained open for the young people during this time and our youth groups continued as normal. We also attended and assisted with the Smoothie/Pizza event held up at Wharton Community Library as part of “Operation Treacle”.
-
Continuing to work with the PCSO’s in helping to reduce anti-social behaviour in the Winsford area and they, in turn, continue to support WYCF across a range of activities.
-
The Spotlight Project - This fantastic project aimed at young people, led by Cheshire Dance, has continued offering free dance and fitness sessions for young people here at the Centre on a Tuesday evening.
-
We continue to work on a range of strategic steering group boards which enables us to keep up to date with funding and partner activity. We have worked closely with the Youth Strategic Board lead by Cheshire West and continue our work to look at the youth provision delivered across the county as well as provision offered in and around the Winsford area.
-
Our close working relationship with the Care Community Steering group (Dene Drive Practice) has continued to grow. This group focuses on how Winsford delivers its services to residents as well as the key priority findings for health inequalities. WYCF are prioritising these areas and have delivered a range of courses for both parents and children struggling with anxiety during this period.

OUR WORK: PROGRAMMES AND ACTIVITIES
DELIVERY:
Our direct delivery is:
The Chatterbox Café (held twice weekly, Tuesday and Thursday) Friday night Junior Club Saturday night Senior Club Playschemes and Play Days Community Family learning events (Various funders) Action for Leisure (Adult SEND group run by volunteers) Canoeing and Kayaking Sessions – Run from the Marina Prize Bingo – Approx held every 6 weeks
Junior Club
Winsford Town Council continue to primarily fund our junior club sessions. We managed to open the club for 43 weeks and saw a total of 3,362 attendees over this time period. 2, 040 of which were boys and 1,322 girls. Our busiest Friday night of the year welcomed 123 attendees at which point a decision was made to put a halt on accepting any new members due to safety and control measures. The closures for memberships have now become a seasonal measure of control.
The staff team continue to be supported by several volunteers, aided this year by 2 young people using this experience towards their Duke of Edinburgh’s award.
We have seen an increased number of young people reporting additional needs, both confirmed and those awaiting assessments - this in turn adds a different dynamic and demands on staff. We will continue to monitor this and look at the possibilities of additional provision if required.
Senior Club
Our Senior Club continues to be funded primarily by the Police. Saturday evenings are much quieter than our Friday nights with just 744 attending in total over the year. The group mainly consists of boys with the number being at 581 and just 182 girls attending. The same groups of young people regularly attend on a weekly bases with many of these being in the older age range.
8
Action for leisure
This social group, aimed at adults with additional needs, continues to meet weekly and is run by our own team of volunteers. With no direct financial backing, the group rely solely on admission costs which they aim to keep low and affordable. The club opened for 48 weeks averaging 11 individuals per week - new members are always welcome!
WYCF will continue to source funding to support this very much needed group of individuals to enhance the activities that take place during these sessions.
Courses facilitated by WYCF (Mental Health)
This year a key focus area of ours was around mental health in young people and offering support to both, the parents and the children/young people themselves. To this end, we provided 2 parent support courses which consisted of 4 weekly sessions provided by Motherwell on our behalf - here parents were given advice and support on how to help their child at home who may be struggling with anxiety.
During the Easter break we also offered young people the opportunity to join our “Mindfulness Days” which included Wellness Sessions, cooking, yoga and meditation. A “Healthy Minds” 3-day course was also available for young people to attend where a range of topics was covered and the young people could get prepared emotionally for high school – the aim was for children to go away with skills to help them take care of their mind as well as their body! Sessions were well attended and the feedback was very positive indeed.
9
Summer Playschemes
Our traditional Playscheme was delivered throughout the summer school holidays in 2022 here at the New Images Centre. This popular holiday club ran four days per week with lunch included and a host of activities on offer for children aged 8-11yrs.
PLAYDAYS
Based on the Playscheme format, our Play Days run on single days during some of the other school holiday dates – during this year, 3 Play Days were delivered (October 2022, February 2023 and April 2023).
WHEELS EXTREME
Following the previous year’s success and the great feedback received from those that attended, we once again invited the “Wheels Extreme” team back. Specialising in all things wheeled, the mobile skate park was set up in the Marina car park every Monday in August for a 3hour session – plus a further one-off session was offered during the October half term.
10
Chatterbox Café
Our popular community café continued to operate and open twice weekly - offering home cooked style meals and a warm, safe space for anyone in the community. The café is open most weeks throughout the year, however, our volunteers do enjoy a well deserved break in August and again over the Christmas period. We were successful in gaining some funding for the café which was used to purchase much needed new /replacement equipment. The cafe continues to attract regular members and we have also seen an increase in the number of men attending. Support workers are often seen in the coffee bar supporting existing members and bringing in new people too. Our ex Brightlife volunteers continue to support a group of 25 + women alongside the Café and set up on a Tuesday morning offering quizzes and games.
Tea Dances : This year we have hosted 2 pensioners Tea Dance’s and a Christmas special. Our café volunteers and staff provided an afternoon tea style meal with copious cups of tea and those attending enjoyed the magician and live music too!
Sunday Lunch Club : Funding was secured from Asda called “Bringing Communities back together. This enabled us to offer a Sunday lunch club to the older generation in the area. The Club is an extension of the Café, specialising in Sunday roasts, again fully supported by our volunteers and 4 Sunday sessions were provided during this time period.
Bingo: Our bingo nights continued with numbers increasing (especially the Chistmas session which always sees a full house!) Six prize Bingo sessions have been held throughout the year, with a regular attendance of 40-50. Monies raised from these events is used for equipment, projects and general maintenance of the New Images Centre.
Canoeing
This year we saw a new initiative funded by the Queens Platinum Fund (administered via the Lottery). Prompted by the repercussions of the covid pandemic, this gave us the opportunity to expand our canoeing and provide sessions of Adult Canoeing sessions - targeted at the over 50’s with the aim of getting this age group more active. The sessions have proved to be extremely popular with more women than men participating. Video’s taken by participants, then shown on social media has certainly helped the promotion of this activity! The over 50’s sessions began in July, with an average of 10 attending per session, this continued growing to 31 individuals overall. We had 7 regular adults that returned to us the following year.
11
With this same funding, SEND Canoeing was also offered – again, this is new delivery from us! These sessions were aimed at young people with additional needs – sessions were offered on Wednesday evenings throughout the year. The majority of participants were capable of taking part individually and those that struggled were placed in the 2 seated canoes. Parent feedback has been incredibly positive - parents shared how grateful they are for the fact their children now get the chance to do what others have the opportunity to do! The demand for these sessions has dramatically increased, averaging 7 per session initially and doubling in numbers to 14, 6 young people returned the following year.
Regular summer sessions for other youngsters during 2022 continued at pace, with most sessions being fully booked up. 20 sessions were delivered over the summer holidays, averaging 9 attending per session. The main feature for this year was our recruitment of a trainee young person, Ash. Ash has been a regular member for the last 5 years. They have undertaken the full training we offered then elevated to National Level with further qualifications which enabled us to offer him employment. Ash has now progressed to the GB Junior National squad.
XMAS WREATH MAKING:
We hosted our very first Christmas wreath making event in November 2022 which was well attended and well received too! We hope to offer more adult friendly events in the future.
12
Family Events
As we continue to move forward and grow, we are always looking at ways to diversify and deliver projects to the whole of the community. Following the success of last year’s family learning activities, this year we have delivered the following sessions:
Mini Makery sessions (October 2022 and February 223 half term). This gives families the chance to have some fun with food and in many cases try new, healthy fruits and vegs.
Let’s Create: For the Summer of 2022, we wanted to give parents the opportunity to join their children and have some fun together as a family getting creative! 6 different sessions were on offer ranging from recycled robots to memory journalling – it was lovely to see so many families having fun and all these events were fully booked!
Halloween Extravaganza: During the October half term of 2022, we hosted a family Halloween day which included pumpkin carving, Halloween games, crafts and lunch was included too. We hope to run more spooky family events in future years .
13

Overview of the year:
Recovering from the pandemic we have seen a vast increase in footfall and alternative provision offered hasprovided our community with a diverse programme of opportunity.
We have continued to buildour relationships with other organisations to secure funding that show shared collaboration and broaden the provision across Winsford.
We have continued to build on 2021/22 in our aim to upgrade the centre. Major improvements have included new fire doors both internally and externally, an upgrade on our internal internet and wifi systems plus a new front and rear doors that give clear access for all. We continue to seek further capital funding opportunities that will support both the fabrication and aesthetics of the building. We have continued to improve our presence on social media, and this is with thanks to our Business Support Coordinator Laura Jones and we strive to develop other mediums as we move forward.
The year ahead:
We will continue to source a range of funding opportunities to enhance both the delivery and the aesthetics of New Images as well as looking at other options to develop delivery in other areas of Winsford i.e. Wharton.
We will develop our 5 year business plan and secure a long term lease with Cheshire West that will enhance and give further opportunities to secure larger and more prominent funding applications. We aim to strengthen the charity by bringing further trustee’s to the board that can help us to develop and maintain strong organisational functions.
We look to encourage and develop local organisations that can deliver a range of alternative activities from our centre that will benefit and enhance the local offer.

WINSFORD YOUTH AND COMMUNITY FORUM LTD (A company limited by guarantee)
Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors Report) For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30th April 2023. The trustees, who are also directors of Winsford Youth And Community Forum Ltd for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Organisational structure
The charity is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, are shown on page 1. The trustees are representatives of agencies and organisations who work with, or have an interest in, young people and the wider community. They are responsible for plotting the strategic direction of the Forum and overseeing all the areas of its operation. Trustees are informed of their duties and responsibilities prior to appointment and are offered suitable training to assist with their role. They are also informed of publications and information available to them through the Charity Commission. The day to day running of the Forum is left to an appointed trustee. Trustee elections are held annually and all members of the charity are entitled to vote. The trustees would like to thank all those who have contributed to the work of the Forum and particularly those many volunteers without whom our work would not have been possible. The trustees continue to be committed to working with and for the community and will continue working in partnership with all who have an interest in improving provision for young people and the wider community.
Reserves
The trustees feel that the charity has a responsibility to its beneficiaries to take a long-term view of its commitments. We have considered the increasing insecurity of funding and the delays in payment. We are determined to continue working towards maintaining an unrestricted reserve at the level of three months typical running costs to cover current commitments. This will include designated funds as detailed in guidance by the Charity Commissioners. However, at present we are unable to hold this level of reserve. The trustees continue to consider ways in which additional unrestricted funds can be raised.
Investment policy
The charity does not have an investment policy. Funds are held in an interest-bearing account to maximise returns.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors Report) For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
Risk review and internal control
The trustees continue to consider and identify the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This involves identifying the types of risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of minimising the risks. The charity’s system of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The trustees are satisfied that the systems in place reduce their exposure to the major risks.
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Trustees report to accompany the Financial Statements 1[st] May 2022 – 30[th] April 2023
We have had an amazing year; the Community Centre has been filled with a range of user groups and the Centre has been a joy to behold.
The Chatterbox Café was as usual well attended throughout the year and the use of the building by other service users is now almost at capacity.
The start of our financial year found us preparing for our summer programme of activities and playschemes, whilst ensuring our planned building works were completed, without adversely impacting on these or on-going activities.
Bit about building – finally finish all planed works….
Despite all this, we were again able to offer a range of activities over the summer period including
…….
Over this period, we also had to make some difficult decisions over our charging policy for our service users. The decision was made to shift our billing process from charging at the end of every month, to an up-front booking and payment policy. To facilitate this, we offered a 50% discount to existing service users for the month of July 2023.
Another tough decision was the rate at which service users were to be charged. The rate had not been changed since long before the COVID lockdowns and had not kept up with the rising costs of running

the building. A new pricing structure was produced and was thankfully well received by our user groups. The new rates were charged from the 1[st] August 2022 in line with the new charging policy. The Autumn bought some good news. We were contacted by the National Lottery Community Fund, whose funding has supported us in employing our Executive Director along with supporting some of our core costs as we endeavour to grow our charity. They were offering to increase their level of support, allowing us to adjust our original cost projections for the greatly increased costs of utilities and other running costs, along with providing additional administrative support to support our extremely busy office.
In December 2022, we were thrilled to be awarded an additional £46,275 towards the final 3 years of the Grant funding. Taking the total award over the 5 years to £304,285.
We find ourselves in a great place financially, with our Community Centre building again running in profit, which is now significant enough to be able to support the employment of a part-time caretaker. We are currently bidding for more grants to be able to further improve and modernise the building. The vast array of funding secured during this period has been incredible and we would like to thank our staff, funders and supporters for all the help, dedication and support that they have given us. As a result, we have been able to offer a vast range of projects to the local community and continue to develop new projects and relationships in the future.
We are especially excited to re-start our project delivery at Wharton thanks to our funding from the Community Cashback Fund.
We have many new and repeat funders to whom we are extremely thankful for their continued support of our projects.
We continue to work in partnership with many local organisations. These partnerships are integral to ensuring a well-rounded approach to the support and activities we offer the local community. The Forum is now well placed to continue to support the local community in a range of ways and we continue to seek new ideas and support for these ideas on a daily basis.
Once again, we have a number of ongoing and future projects with funding in place details of which are shown in Table 1.
As the Forum continues to move forward in these tough times, we are thankful for the support of not only our funders and partners, but the whole community, who we endeavour to support in return. The balance between generating income, the ongoing operational costs of keeping and improving the fabric and aesthetics of the centre remain at the forefront of decisions to be made.

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our 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
-
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met
-
(2) To which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
1.1 Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.
1.2 Cash flow
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement because it is a small charity.
1.3 Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.4 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
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.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Notes to financial statements For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
19. Going concern
The nature of the charity’s activities and the reliance on grant funding and donations has resulted in a low level of unrestricted funds. The trustees have reviewed cash flow information for the next twelve months and beyond and consider that the level of income will enable the charity to continue its activities. On the basis of this information and discussions with management, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if suitable funding was not available.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors Report) For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30th April 2023. The trustees, who are also directors of Winsford Youth And Community Forum Ltd for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Organisational structure
The charity is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, are shown on page 1. The trustees are representatives of agencies and organisations who work with, or have an interest in, young people and the wider community. They are responsible for plotting the strategic direction of the Forum and overseeing all the areas of its operation. Trustees are informed of their duties and responsibilities prior to appointment and are offered suitable training to assist with their role. They are also informed of publications and information available to them through the Charity Commission. The day to day running of the Forum is left to an appointed trustee. Trustee elections are held annually and all members of the charity are entitled to vote. The trustees would like to thank all those who have contributed to the work of the Forum and particularly those many volunteers without whom our work would not have been possible. The trustees continue to be committed to working with and for the community and will continue working in partnership with all who have an interest in improving provision for young people and the wider community.
Reserves
The trustees feel that the charity has a responsibility to its beneficiaries to take a long-term view of its commitments. We have considered the increasing insecurity of funding and the delays in payment. We are determined to continue working towards maintaining an unrestricted reserve at the level of three months typical running costs to cover current commitments. This will include designated funds as detailed in guidance by the Charity Commissioners. However, at present we are unable to hold this level of reserve. The trustees continue to consider ways in which additional unrestricted funds can be raised.
Investment policy
The charity does not have an investment policy. Funds are held in an interest-bearing account to maximise returns.

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors Report) For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
Risk review and internal control
The trustees continue to consider and identify the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This involves identifying the types of risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of minimising the risks. The charity’s system of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The trustees are satisfied that the systems in place reduce their exposure to the major risks.
Public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Trustees report to accompany the Financial Statements 1[st] May 2022 – 30[th] April 2023
We have had an amazing year; the Community Centre has been filled with a range of user groups and the Centre has been a joy to behold.
The Chatterbox Café was as usual well attended throughout the year and the use of the building by other service users is now almost at capacity.
The start of our financial year found us preparing for our summer programme of activities and playschemes, whilst ensuring our planned building works were completed, without adversely impacting on these or on-going activities.
Bit about building – finally finish all planed works….
Despite all this, we were again able to offer a range of activities over the summer period including
…….
Over this period, we also had to make some difficult decisions over our charging policy for our service users. The decision was made to shift our billing process from charging at the end of every month, to an up-front booking and payment policy. To facilitate this, we offered a 50% discount to existing service users for the month of July 2023.
Another tough decision was the rate at which service users were to be charged. The rate had not been changed since long before the COVID lockdowns and had not kept up with the rising costs of running

the building. A new pricing structure was produced and was thankfully well received by our user groups. The new rates were charged from the 1[st] August 2022 in line with the new charging policy. The Autumn bought some good news. We were contacted by the National Lottery Community Fund, whose funding has supported us in employing our Executive Director along with supporting some of our core costs as we endeavour to grow our charity. They were offering to increase their level of support, allowing us to adjust our original cost projections for the greatly increased costs of utilities and other running costs, along with providing additional administrative support to support our extremely busy office.
In December 2022, we were thrilled to be awarded an additional £46,275 towards the final 3 years of the Grant funding. Taking the total award over the 5 years to £304,285.
We find ourselves in a great place financially, with our Community Centre building again running in profit, which is now significant enough to be able to support the employment of a part-time caretaker. We are currently bidding for more grants to be able to further improve and modernise the building. The vast array of funding secured during this period has been incredible and we would like to thank our staff, funders and supporters for all the help, dedication and support that they have given us. As a result, we have been able to offer a vast range of projects to the local community and continue to develop new projects and relationships in the future.
We are especially excited to re-start our project delivery at Wharton thanks to our funding from the Community Cashback Fund.
We have many new and repeat funders to whom we are extremely thankful for their continued support of our projects.
We continue to work in partnership with many local organisations. These partnerships are integral to ensuring a well-rounded approach to the support and activities we offer the local community. The Forum is now well placed to continue to support the local community in a range of ways and we continue to seek new ideas and support for these ideas on a daily basis.
Once again, we have a number of ongoing and future projects with funding in place details of which are shown in Table 1.
As the Forum continues to move forward in these tough times, we are thankful for the support of not only our funders and partners, but the whole community, who we endeavour to support in return. The balance between generating income, the ongoing operational costs of keeping and improving the fabric and aesthetics of the centre remain at the forefront of decisions to be made.

Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s reporting accountants are unaware;
-
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant Audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Winsford Youth & Community Forum Limited for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

WINSFORD YOUTH AND COMMUNITY FORUM LTD

Report of the Trustees (incorporating the Directors Report) For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
-
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 charitable company will continue in operation.
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORB
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiners Review For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
We report on the accounts for the year ended 30th April 2023 set out on pages 11 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our 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
-
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met
-
(2) To which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
1.1 Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.
1.2 Cash flow
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement because it is a small charity.
1.3 Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.4 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
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.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Notes to financial statements For the Year Ended 30th April 2023
19. Going concern
The nature of the charity’s activities and the reliance on grant funding and donations has resulted in a low level of unrestricted funds.

On the basis of this information and discussions with management, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if suitable funding was not available.
