REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the Year Ended 31st March 2023 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2023. 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 |
Objectives and aims |
Following the incorporation of the organisation in October 2016, our revised objectives and aims are: |
- To provide residential accommodation for young people, who are in need, hardship or distress by reason of their social, physical, emotional, spiritual or economic circumstances; |
- To provide or assist in the provision, in the interests of social welfare, of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for men and women with the object of improving their conditions of life; |
- To provide or assist in the provision of education for people of all ages and in particular young people, with the object of developing their physical, mental or spiritual capacities; |
- And to relieve or assist in the relief of people of all ages and in particular young people, who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by reason for their social, physical, emotional, spiritual or economic circumstances. We do this through offering Short Term Supported Accommodation and floating support through the Thrive Partnership. |
Public benefit |
The main activity is undertaken to further our charitable objective for the public benefit. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
The Board is aware of the need to be more than a landlord and pursues a policy of providing support for young people. This support includes developing life skills, managing mental health or substance misuse issues, sexual health advice and help to access training, education and employment. |
Thrive Telford Short Term Supported Accommodation (STSA) |
YMCA Wellington has 39 units of accommodation across 5 sites, with a mix of self-contained and shared housing. Established couples and single people are eligible. We can also house pregnant women whilst they wait for accommodation with a Thrive family scheme. |
Support can include help with benefits, housing, emotional support, alcohol or drug advice, working with education and training providers, mediation with family in order to build bridges, liaising with mental health services and signposting to other agencies. |
All accommodation is offered through the Thrive Gateway; no direct referrals are accepted. |
Shine Project |
Funded through a Nationwide Building Society grant, our complex needs support enhances the work done by the Thrive STSA team. This funding allows us to work with young people with significantly more complex needs than we would otherwise be able to help. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the Year Ended 31st March 2023 |
Thrive Telford Floating Support |
YMCA Wellington offer floating support to people aged 16+, of any tenure, providing they are resident in the borough of Telford. We support in people's homes and also via drop in advice hubs. This support can include help with benefits, housing, alcohol or drug advice, liaising with mental health services and signposting to other agencies. This is through the Thrive Telford partnership in conjunction with Stay Telford and KiP. |
The Holly Project |
The Holly Project is a free support service for survivors of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and is run by survivors of CSE. It offers a safe place for individuals and their families to get support and advice from people who really understand the trauma and lasting impact of CSE. The Holly Project runs groups for survivors and victims as well as families and parents and includes direct access to specialist counselling and sexual health services. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
The charity has had another year of using Reserves built up in previous years to fund projects and services that overall have created an excess of expenditure over income for the year. |
Moving forward, the management and Trustees have set a balanced budget for the year to 31 March 2024. The actual income and expenditure is being closely monitored compared to these budgets through the provision of timely monthly management reports |
Reserves policy |
The trustees have established a policy where the general fund should hold at least the equivalent of the costs of six months overheads, approximately £75,000, to enable the charity to continue if there was a short term significant drop in rental income or donations. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF |
YMCA WELLINGTON AND DISTRICT |
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of YMCA Wellington And District ('the Company') |
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2023. |
Responsibilities and basis of report |
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or |
4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). |
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. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the Year Ended 31st March 2023 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. |
Income |
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Freehold property is not depreciated. The trustees are of the view that the level of ongoing repair and maintenance of the property will result in the residual value of the property at the end of its useful life being greater than its original cost. This is reviewed annually by the trustees. |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |

The remaining " free reserves" provide the trustees with the potential to consider, when appropriate, further property purchases. This would enable the provision of additional or improved housing accommodation for young people in the area. |
Unrestricted Fund - Major Repairs Fund |
This represents funds to meet major repairs as and when they arise. This has been reduced reflecting the reserves maintained with Y Housing. |
