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 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30th April 2025. 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.

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

2

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 2025

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 2024 – 30[th] April 2025

ACTING CHAIR’S REPORT

It is with sadness that I must begin this report by recording the passing of our chair, Mike Kennedy, in December 2024. Mike was a completely dedicated supporter of New Images and all the work we do. Back in 2002, when the youth club was scheduled to close, Mike played a key role in leading an action group to ensure that the Club and youth provision remained. He, along with a group of supportive community members, continued fighting for youth provision for a further 10 years when demolition of the centre then appeared imminent. Mike took on the challenge and succeeded in gaining the reprieve necessary resulting in the provision continuing. A massive loss for WYCF and indeed the community.

From January 2025, we have seen significant internal building improvements relating to health & safety requirements and help with reducing the running costs (heating costs predominately). Externally we have installed an extended metal storage container and work began on recovering and insulating our roof – a project which has been our focus for the last 6 years. We are very grateful to the Youth Improvement fund (YIF) and the FCC community action for substantial funding which has enabled this massive job to finally take place. Additional finance was required to complete the roof work which had to be taken from our own funds. We also had to contend with additional insurance policy costs (introduced as we are now considered a larger business) which has had quite a significant impact on our own reserves. We guess that is the price of success!

Not often visible is the work that goes on behind the scenes at WYCF. Securing funding, the planning and delivery of provision, inter agency support and joint working to name but a few – all made possible by a very small team of staff and larger volunteer team. The trustees are incredibly grateful for their time and efforts, and we thank them once again for another successful year. That success is not just directly related to New Images but also the outreach work we do in the community via various projects and activities.

Our board of trustee’s has seen some changes during this reporting period - not just with the absence of Mike Kennedy but also with the resignation of Des Worthington in June 2024. New trustees, Lynn Hamlett and Maggie Anderson have joined the board and our thanks go to them for their input and support. We continue to search for additional trustees to join us and continue the growth of WYCF.

Bob Barton – Acting Chair

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 2025

This year has been one of transformation and pride for Winsford Youth & Community Forum.

Thanks to the commitment of our staff, volunteers, and local supporters, we’ve continued to improve our facilities and create a more welcoming, vibrant space for everyone who walks through our doors. Each enhancement has been driven by one purpose — to provide a safe, inspiring environment where our community can connect, learn, and thrive.

This year has seen a lot of changes take place both externally and internally to the New Images Centre itself. A very busy period in terms of upgrading the building - beginning with several important jobs being completed thanks to funding received from the Youth Improvement Fund (YIF). Those works were:

The negative side of managing such an old building has always been dealing with water leaks from the roof and clearing of the drains. Securing funding for major building works is extremely difficult, however, this year, we were absolutely delighted to receive the good news that funding from the FCC Community Action had been granted. In March 2025, works finally began to replace our and roof, meaning no more roof leaks and a much warmer building.

We have continued to offer a fabulous range of provision from the centre including, as always, a diverse programme of activities across the holiday period. This has supported young people and families to access a range activities that help with the cost-of-living pressures.

Our collaboration with local partners has continued to flourish, leading to new opportunities and shared projects that extend our reach and impact. It’s been wonderful to see more people than ever using our centre this year, with a notable increase in footfall that speaks to the trust and value the community places in our work.

This year has reminded us just how powerful partnerships can be. From local community groups to corporate supporters, our work has been driven by collaboration — people and organisations coming together to make things happen. Our community partners know their communities best, and their insight and energy have helped us connect with more people in meaningful ways. Whether it’s co-hosting events, sharing resources, or lending a hand where it’s needed most these partnerships have made our impact stronger and more personal.

We’re also grateful for our corporate partners who continue to show what it means to do good through business. Their support, from funding projects to volunteering time and skills has helped us reach new goals and think bigger about what’s possible. At the heart of it all, it’s about relationships. The trust, creativity, and teamwork we share with our partners make everything we do richer and more sustainable. We’re proud of what we’ve built together this year — and even more excited about what’s ahead.

The next period will bring challenges for many charitable organisations however we are still in a strong position and will continue to grow and develop our charity. Our focus for the next year will be to complete

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.

WINSFORD YOUTH AND COMMUNITY FORUM LTD

(A company limited by guarantee)

Notes to financial statements For the Year Ended 30th April 2025

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 2025

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.
