The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s governing document, the Charities Act (NI) 1964 and Charities (NI) Order l987. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The Trust (the charity) is an unincorporated trust, constituted under a deed of trust, and is registered as a charity with HRMC. Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre was registered with HMRC under charity number XT38572. This is the thirteenth set of annual accounts being prepared for the charity, but the second set of accounts being prepared on the accruals basis; in line with CCNI guidelines and the Charities SORP. The trustees and officers are appointed on an annual basis. The trustees meet regularly to discuss the broad strategy of the charity to include areas of activity for the charity, assessment of reserves and risk management. The day-to-day administration of the charity is delegated to a core Senior Management Team comprising of 2 Trustees and 1 senior staff member. ## **Trustees** The Trustees who served during the year were as follows: Gordon Woolsey Jenni Stewart Sasha Madill Emma Hylands Bethany Ebron Jessica Maye Melissa Burney Alison Cordner Emma Salt Sarah McVeigh Ian Best Elaine Sterritt ## **Risk Management** The trustees actively review any major risks, which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with ongoing reviews of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources for the incoming year. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the most significant risks. ## **Objectives and Activities** ## - **Public Benefit** The advancement of citizenship or community development: The direct benefits which flow from this purpose include giving children, young people and the wider community, a programme of social, educational and recreational activities within a safe and secure environment where self esteem and confidence will grow in addition to respecting equality, diversity and inter dependence. These benefits will be demonstrated through continued and increased numbers of people attending the events organised by Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre and the continued positive impact upon the lives of those we work with. The charity’s beneficiaries are people living in the townland of Scotch Street and the wider Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon area. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the Organisation’s programme of ongoing training that a trustee may attend in relation to good governance, finance etc. Through this training trustees gain skills and expertise which are transferable to other settings. These benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries. _Page 1_ Docusign Envelope ID: 3DDC895A-97B8-4C93-869C-321561497375 ## **Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre** ## **Report of the Trustees** ## **for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## **Financial Review** The Financial Statements are presented in the standard format required by the Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice), and in accordance with The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 as required by The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. The Statement of Financial Activities on page 6 shows the gross income from all sources. Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre is reliant upon grant income from various funders such as the Education Authority, Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council, BBC Children in Need and many others to finance the various outreach programmes operated by SSYCC. In addition to grants received SSYCC also generate income through various activities, the income from which are then used to support the ongoing running costs of the charity. A brief summary of the financial position for the year is outlined below: Total income £104,801 (previous year; £204,588) Total Outgoings £107,038 (previous year; £226,547) Deficit for year £(2,237) (Deficit in previous year; £(21,959)) ## **Investment Policy** Apart from retaining a prudent amount in reserves most of the charity’s funds are spent in the short term. ## **Reserves Policy** The trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the trust to continue in the furtherance of its objectives. ## **Chair & Vice Chairs reflections on the year and plans for the future** SSYCC remains committed to delivering on its strategic plan, launched in October 2020, following extensive consultation and development of a five-year roadmap (2020-2025). This plan, shaped by members, volunteers, staff, and the management committee, established a clear vision and mission for our organisation: ## Vision: SSYCC’s vision is of a welcoming, vibrant and inclusive society where people are supported to achieve their full potential, and everyone actively participates in community life. ## Mission: SSYCC’s mission is to make a positive difference by encouraging participation, strengthening community relationships and providing opportunities for learning and development. From April 2023 to March 2024, we conducted three management committee meetings. We extend our gratitude to all committee members for their dedication and invaluable contributions to the governance of our organisation. ## **Strengthening Partnerships** Collaboration remains a cornerstone of our success. We are deeply grateful to our partner organisations for their unwavering support in addressing the needs of children, young people, and the communities we serve. Over the past year, SSYCC has delivered an extensive range of programmes across the local area and the wider Armagh, Banbridge, and Craigavon Borough Council region. Our continued partnership and conclusion of the Uniting Communities through Sport & Creativity project, funded by the Department for Communities (DfC), has allowed us to lead an impactful initiative alongside Healthy Kidz and Oasis Youth and leave a lasting legacy. _Page 2_ Docusign Envelope ID: 3DDC895A-97B8-4C93-869C-321561497375 ## **Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre** ## **Report of the Trustees** ## **for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## **iRural Project: A Lasting Impact** The iRural project has played a pivotal role in our growth over the past year. This initiative has profoundly benefited children and young people in rural communities while also strengthening the organisations that serve them. By enhancing existing efforts and ensuring long-term sustainability, iRural has helped rural youth organisations continue their vital work beyond the project's conclusion earlier this year. We extend our sincere thanks to the staff and volunteer teams across the ABC area for their hard work and dedication in making these projects a resounding success. ## **Advocacy and Representation** SSYCC has remained a strong advocate for children, young people, and rural communities. Our staff and committee members actively participate in various committees, steering groups, and action groups to highlight the challenges and needs of these communities. To measure and evaluate our impact effectively, our staff continue to utilise Upshot, an online monitoring and evaluation tool, which enables us to collect valuable data and demonstrate the significance of our work. ## **Key Achievements** Since our last AGM, SSYCC has engaged in a wide range of activities across multiple programmes, including the SSYCC Programme of Work which includes the EA Rural Project, iRural Project and Uniting Communities. ## Over the past year: - 350 individual members participated in our programmes. - 250 structured sessions were delivered. - Additional young people were engaged through our detached youth work in the Scotch Street & Maghery area. - A total of 4,139 attendances were recorded across all programmes. ## **Governance and Operations** The Senior Management Team (SMT), comprising the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and Leader in Charge of SSYCC's programme continued to meet bi-monthly to oversee operational and strategic decision-making. ## **Funding and Sustainability** Securing funding remains a top priority, and considerable efforts have been made over the past 12 months to access essential resources. We successfully secured funding not only for our centre but also for our partners involved in the EA Rural project, benefiting organisations throughout the ABC council area. Alongside our core funders – EA Youth Service and The National Lottery Community Fund - we have also collaborated with: - Department for Communities - TADA/Departments of Agriculture and Rural Affairs - Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council (Core Funding) - T:BUC/Executive Office - BBC Children In Need We Move Fund: Youth Social Action - EA Small Grants We sincerely thank all our funders for their invaluable support and recognise the dedication of our staff in preparing funding applications, reports, evaluations, and financial submissions. _Page 3_ Docusign Envelope ID: 3DDC895A-97B8-4C93-869C-321561497375 ## **Scotch Street Youth & Community Centre** ## **Report of the Trustees** ## **for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## **Looking Ahead** As we move into the next year, our focus will be on continuing the successful delivery of our EA Rural Project across the wider ABC area and also identifying new funding opportunities to ensure SSYCC continues to meet the evolving needs of children, young people, and rural communities across the ABC council area. ## **Trustee responsibilities in relation to the accounts** Law applicable to charities in Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the year-end. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts - Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities (NI) Order l987 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to state, on the basis of my examination, whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My 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 explanation from you as directors concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Registration of Clubs (Accounts) Regulations (Northern Ireland) have not been met; or - (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
