## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 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** 

Sidewalk's objectives are to support and assist young people up to the age of 25 to enable them to make informed choices in the areas of education, health, training, independence and recreation so that their conditions of life may be improved and that they may develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities so as to grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. 

To achieve these objectives, the charity aims to provide ongoing support and informal education for young people, with a view to building better communities together. 

The trustees have given due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and consider that the activities described above and contained in this Annual Report demonstrate how the charity fulfils its responsibilities to provide benefit to the public. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Overview** 

Significant organisational growth and increased service delivery at Sidewalk defies the continued downward trend in services for young people on a local and national level. Sidewalk's commitment to grass roots youth work has ensured that it continues to develop work where and how it is most needed. From a solid foundation of long-term community presence and established professional standards of youth work practice and effective networking, new projects and partnerships are strengthening the support to young people in the Scarborough area to meet the challenges they face at this time.

## **Achievements and performance- continued** 

## **Transition mentoring** 

Sidewalk was funded by the locality board to support 90 young people until Easter 2025. The project has been designed to work with the mentees for a year to provide support, build personal confidence and resilience particularly among young people who struggle in the School Environment. The process is to help make the transition from primary to secondary school a more positive and productive experience. This project has now ended as the funding was setup in response to the Covid epidemic. Sidewalks mentors have supported now 500 young people over the four year period of funding. 

## **Secondary mentoring** 

Between April 2024 and March 2025, Sidewalk worked with 148 young people for an average of 10 weekly appointments each. Comprehensive feedback from young people has confirmed the high value in having a member of Sidewalk Staff to talk through their issues of concern with them and the progress they have made through accessing the support service has been very encouraging. 

## **The Turning Tides Project** 

From January 2024, the Turning Tides programme has been very successful and has worked well with the support of the Bridge Outcomes Partnership. This programme is designed specifically for 15-21 year olds, in Scarborough and Whitby. This has been a non-time limited coaching programme, aimed at preventing young people from developing serious mental health issues and at the same time place extra stress on the NHS. This programme has involved working with young people who have mild to moderate mental health and wellbeing issues. We have worked with 33 graduates. 

## **Detached Youth Work** 

Sidewalk's Detached Youth Work (street based support) continues to define and shape the core delivery programmes of Sidewalk. Developments through the course of the year have ensured that Sidewalk stays informed and focussed on the clear experiences of contemporary young people and highlights areas of need to the Management Team and Trustees. The organisation continues to work closely alongside delivery partners including the community Safety Partnership, St Giles and Yorsexual Health and the NYC. McDonalds have also been very supportive and have made their community facilities freely available to Sidewalk when needed. Detached Youth Work has continued to thrive with 94 sessions delivered in Scarborough and Whitby. 1003 engagements with young people have been very successful, with around 586 young people making in depth contact with workers during the course of the year. Sidewalk currently delivers 4 sessions each a week throughout term time and this year Sidewalk has led two large events in the vicinity of Scarborough's Sainsburys and Peasholm Park. 

## **Youth Group** 

Sidewalk delivers 3 regular Youth Group sessions, aimed at young people 13+. The Wednesday evening youth group has reached 75 young people between April 2024 and March 2025. These young people have taken part in at least one session each and averaged 24 young people participating in each session. The highest attendance was 38. The team usually consists of 4 staff members including volunteers. We also provide a quiet space where young people can share their challenges or problems with a chosen member of staff. We have also utilised sexual health support from Yorsexual health and workshops from NSPCC which has resulted in young people gaining more understanding of values and relationships and being able to openly discuss issues such as 'red flags', consent and contraception. The Stamp Group is aimed at young people in Years 7&8 that extends to Year 6 pupils during half terms. We consider this a key area of support as these young people have additional needs or have experienced adverse childhood experiences and are statistically less likely to thrive in a school environment. This group has provided support for over 20 young people with an average attendance of 12 with more showing interest in joining the group.

## **Young Parents** 

This group is aimed at supporting young parents and their families, and continues to progress from strength to strength. The group has added two new families during the course of the year. Foster families are included. While the group meets regularly in Sidewalk's Coordination Office, the group are also visiting out and about with beach trips and pumpkin picking etc., planned by the young people. 

## **Youth Council** 

The Youth Council has had a productive year and although temporarily suspended in January 2025 is planned to relaunch in May/June in Sidewalks new Coordination Office with the aim of expanding a youth voice within our local community organisations. The meeting sessions have discussed key topics of importance to a broad spectrum of youth work in the town. Each session engages on average 10 young people plus youth leaders. 35 individual young people from Sidewalk and other organisations participate and it is hoped this will continue to grow. The young people have engaged with a variety of statutory and non-statutory organisations and services that challenge and equip service providers the local area as well as residentials, and other social events designed by young people. 

## **Partnerships** 

Sidewalk has several key partnerships with statutory services including NHS, North Yorkshire Council, the Locality Board and School Academy chains, as well as various not-for-profit organisations including Bridges Outcomes Partnerships, YMCA, the National Youth Association, NYY, Future Works, Closer Communities as well as Carers Plus and local Churches through Churches Together in Scarborough. 

## **Training and the Staff Team** 

With Sidewalk continuing to expand, the Management Team negotiated further training to youthwork qualifications for our senior staff, to now include Strategic Management and Leadership modules to Post Graduate level.  Sidewalk's service delivery now includes hosting young people from the Sixth Form College and Scarborough Tec on placements.  Sidewalk is internally investing in Level 2 & 3 Youth Work qualifications and supporting several Level 6 Degree apprenticeships in Professional Youth Work Practice. This not only provides practitioner experience to students but will also strengthen Sidewalk's span of current delivery as well as support our long-term aims of investing in the future of the Youth Work Sector in the town.  Over the year we have employed 14 members of staff working across all of our projects. We also have three volunteers who are working in various roles. The staff team has a range of qualifications and experience and complement each other's teamwork really well. 

## **Financial review** 

Total reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to £136,169 (2024: £102,730). Of this total, unrestricted net current assets at that date were £114,861 (2024: £91,596). 

The full accounts of the Sidewalk Charity are included and submitted herewith and Trustees are confident that these conform to the principles of oversight, management diligence and professional accountancy. The current balances maintain the financial policy range of 3-4 months working credit. The Sidewalk Trustees confirm these levels are consistent and appropriate, and continue to adhere to the Charity Commission's guidance on good governance and alignment to Sidewalk's charitable objectives and the very best interests of the organisation.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Following considerable research during 2023-24, it was agreed by Special Resolution of the Management Team and Trustees at Sidewalks Annual General Meeting on 19th November 2024 to make application to the Charity Commission to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Following this and the needed further preparations as well as a detailed Transition Documentation agreed by Trustees, the application was successfully made to the Charity Commission in January 2025 and formally accepted as a CIO in March 2025, and placed on the Charity Commission website. It was agreed the new Sidewalk Youth Organisation (CIO) Registered Charity 1211992 would run all it's working arrangements including banking, in parallel with the existing Sidewalk Charity 700733 and its account with HSBC Plc. The required new HSBC Account for the CIO was opened in March 2025. 

During the course of these developments from November 2024 to January 2025, three Trustees who had been with Sidewalk for a number of years decided to discontinue at the conclusion of their term of office and happily two new Trustees were added in January 2025 and another one in June 2025. The current and continuing body of five Trustees is shown at the head of this report as recommended by the Charity Commission. 

The Sidewalk charity (registered on 20 October 2008) is governed by its constitution, adopted on 7 October 1988 and subsequently amended on 14 July 2003, and its Management Team and Trustees and includes representatives from the local organisation 'Churches Together in Scarborough' together with representatives from the education sector, local businesses and voluntary sector services. All these folk have been become part of our management on account of their specialist knowledge and/or experience to support Sidewalk's growing development.  There is also provision for shadow management appointments consisting of two young people aged eighteen or over, who are involved in the project. The Management Group and Trustee meet at least three times a year plus and Annual General Meeting and when the Transition to being a fully functioning CIO later in 2025 is completed satisfactorily, the Trustees will request the Charity Commission to close the original Sidewalk Charity 700733. 

## **Statement of compliance with prevailing laws and regulations** 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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) issued in October 2019.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Sidewalk Youth Organisation** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Sidewalk Youth Organisation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Sidewalk Youth Organisation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning 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 of 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.

## **1. Accounting policies - continued** 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income received in advance of the provision of specified services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## **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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include administrative and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies - continued** 

## **Impairment** 

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. 

## **Leases** 

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Employee benefits** 

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. 

The charity contributes to a defined contribution workplace pension plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and, in their view, the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements is sufficient, with the reserves held, for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
