members of the General Council are automatically appointed as Trustees of The Gang under the
provisions of the Charities Act 2011.
The objects of The Gang are to operate a voluntary Youth Club with all appropriate resources.

members of the Council are divided into two classes.
Ordina

Review of the Actsvitie5 of the Gang 2023124
We are pleased to report another successful year for the Stonehouse Gang with a full range of activities
and good attendance.
Weekday club nights were busy Monday to Friday, with attendances returning to pre-COVID levels. In
addition to routine club nights for different age groups, we rnn a weekly swim￿8 club, roller skatin& a
ten-week boxing programme, break dancin& and two regular dance groups. We have also had issue-
driven workshops organised by Aquarius and Sudden Productions. Thanks to the Neighbourhood Police
ftuid, we have continued providing free food for some hungry children.

STONEHOUSE GANG
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES {cont.)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Review of the Activities of the Gang 2023124 (cont'd)
OL￿ Duke of Edinburgh programme on Thursday evenings has been fully subscribed again, and we
organised four weekend expedition practice weekends and final expedition tests for Gold, Silver, and
Bronze teams. Twenty-one members achieved D of E awards durin% the year.
Ty Carreg, our outdoor activities centre near Glasbury on Wye, was well used by the Gang, with two
Junior weekends, two Interniediate weekends, a Senior weekend, and a full-week residential as well.
Usage by other youth groups has still not been as htgh as we hoped due to a drop in funding by local
authorities.
Thanks to help frorn HAF, we ran 5 full weeks of our Holiday Scheme during school holidays at
minimal cost to parents, and all were fully subscribed.
The Mums and Toddlers group has continued, and our Pensioners club, which meets on Wednesday
afternoons, has attracted new faces. Our Duke of Edinburgh candidates and some of our volunteers
brilliantly provided the Pensioners Christmas party.
Our leadership team has been stretched because our deputy leader, Claire, was completing her degree
course at Newman ColIege, and the course demands in her last year signth'cantly increased. In July
2024, she completed her course and obtained a first-class degree. It is a tribute to her hard work and
commitment that she has been able to carry out the face-to-face part of her duties at the Gang while
completing her degree. Our Leader, Rob, and many volunteers have invested a lot of extra time to
ensure the club runs smoothlv whilst Claire was awav studvino.
Volunteer training has resulted in 2 Youth Work Level 2 awards and 2 Swim Teacher awards.
Financial Review
Financially, the Gang ended the year in a much better situation. Thanks to some significant grants, we
registered an unrestricted surylus of £54,200. While this is exceptional it only makes up for the large
deficits of £26,000 in 2023 and £22,000 in 2022.
We are incredibly grateful to the Bernard Sunley Trust and the George Fentham Trust for funding major
roof repairs at our clubhouse and to the William Cadbury Trust and the Postcode Lottery for major
donations.
We were amazed and honoured to be granted a donation of £35,000 from "Oliver 68" a Midlands
charity which provided holiday stays to underprivileged young people. Sadly it had to close and
distribute its assets to other charities. This amount has been placed in our Restricted Funds and will be
used to support our residential stays at Ty Carreg and subsidise other Midland youth organisations
who wish to use our facilities there.
We received a generous grant from the CLA charity fund to extend our shower block at Ty CarTeg,
which wilI make a big improvement there. We also received a significant grant from the government's
"cost of living ftmd" to help with our nmning costs and increased utility bills during the year.

STONEHOUSE GANG
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (cont.)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Financial Review (cont'd)
As always, we are incredibly gratefill for the ftmding we receive from the Roger and Douglas Turner
Trust, the Eveson Trust and the Baron Davenport Trust, all of them have been long-time supporters of the
Gang. Without their generous support and the support of many others, we would not be able to carry out
our entire programme.
In addition to these generous donations, Gang members have worked hard to raise money, including
summer and Christmas fayres, which raised over £IOOO. A very well-attended reunion of old Gang
members also raised over £IOOO and provided a defibrillator for Ty Carreg. As we spend no money on
fundraisin& anyone supporting the Gang knows that every penny given goes to the Gangs work with
young people.
Reserves Policy
Some years ago the Gang raised money in a 70th Year Appeal to provide some reserves that could be
used in the short terni to cover a shortfall in donations. It is the Trustees policy to add to this fund if
possible but also to use it if cash is needed. At the year end the fimd was £53,492 but some if that will be
needed to support the Gang in the current year.
Public Benefit Statement
The Gang is a community based youth club with an admission policy that ensures that it is open to all
young people. The objects of the Gang as set out in the Constitution are '
..to help and educate boys and
girls through their leisure time activities, to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that
they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society....
The Gangs activities are 8eared to achieving these objects and indude playing a fully involved role in the
local community from supporting the very young to the most elderly.
Statement of the responsibilities of Members of the Council
Charity Law requires members of the Council (in their capacity as Trustees) to prepare finanaal
statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs 0£ The Gang and
of its incoming Tesources and the application of those resources for that year. In preparing those financial
statements the Trustees are required to:
(a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
(b) Make judgements and estiniates that are reasonable and prudent
(c) State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
(d) Act in accordance with the tenns of the Constitution of The Gans
(e) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that
The members of the General Council are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
accurately disclose at any tinie the financial position of The Gang.
Members of the General Council are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of The Gang and for
taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

STONEHOUSE GANG
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
STONEHOUSE GANG
Respective responsibilities of trustees, and Examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that
an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b)) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Comniission. 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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 lirnited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of our exarnination, no matter has come to our attention:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act. or
the accounts do not accord with those records,. or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concernins the form and content of
accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any
requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part OE
an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached.
