Quarterly moderalion reports by the EA have recognized our work as 'standards met, in all areas this year
Including outcomes for learners, quality of provision and leadership and management.
"The strategic vision of Seagoe has provided a focused and enthusiastlc team who have undoubtedly placed
the needs ofchildren and young people at the heart of the provision. The caliber of programmes on offer provided
coherent response to the needs prevalent within the catchment area of Seagoe (Killicomaine), encompassing
an outcomes framework focused on building the individual- enhancing personal capabililies through the medium
of Duke of Edinburgh, providing drop-in's session to ensure safety and stabilily while implementing the "Think"
model that supports members through targeted programmes based on need.
All safeguarding pro￿sseS are visible on the wall when entering the centre, and appropriate procedures are in
place when dealing with Child protection concerns. All staff have been suitably vetted and volunteers have
completed the recommended introduction to child protection. Staff are aware of the safeguarding processes as
this was discussed during the moderation and appropriate risk assessments are in place and filed accordingly.
Seagoe has implemented a robust reporting system that gathers evidence to complete not only the target
monitor but to report on the developmental pathway for young people engaged within the provision. Critical self-
reflection was discussed and evidence of this could be seen in nightly reportslde-brief with staff and volunteers,
All evidence asked for in the visit notification was readily available during the moderation.
The flavour of conversations with stafflvolunteers and young people put into perspective what a valuable and
much needed service Seagoe is providing within a community that has endured a long legacy and history of
trauma. Seagoe is providing a safe space for children and young people to flourish and this was extremely visible
on the night., Paddy Hughes- Education Authority.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2025
l. Accountlng policies
Charity Informatlon
Seagoe Youth Group is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission in Northern Ireland. Its principal
address is 145 Princess Way, Portadown, Craigavon, Co Armagh, BT63 SEL.
1.1 Accounting conventlon
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act
2008, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" {'FRS 102")
and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public
Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Ststement of
Cash Flows,
The financial statements 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 Statement of
Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of
Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial ststements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the hlstorical cost ¢onvention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and
uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the
charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any perfomiance conditions have been
met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Page 8

Seagoe Youth Group
Notes to the financial statements
For the year 8nd8d 31 March 2025
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified
of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in
relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or othetwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution,
the amount is known, and receipt is expected. Ifthe amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent
asset.
1.5 Expendlture
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a
third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits wlll be required in settlement, and the amount
of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each actlvity are made up of the total of direct costs and
shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a
single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one acb'vity
and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activities on
a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and
depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
1.6 Cash and cash equlvalent8
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction
is measured at the present value of Ihe future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial
assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Baslc flnanclal liabllitles
Basic financlal liabilities, Including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities Glassified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or ServI￿S that have been acquired in the ordinary course
of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment 15 due within
one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially
