TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the The Y Club Limited for the 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The company is principally engaged in the education and personal development of young people in accordance with Christian Principles.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
During the year the main activities of the company were added to with the ongoing development of a Christian Centre to address needs in Lisburn and surrounding area for young people.This strategy is developing with support from YWCA Ireland.
c. Main activities undertaken to further the company's purposes for the public benefit
The public benefit that flows from the purpose of the personal development of young people so that they achieve their full potential is the engagement of church, community and business groups who the Y club can facilitate to work together for a common cause.
This can be demonstrated by the church and other groups using the premises. Business provides employment for children with learning difficulties trained in the Y Club. The local SERC College and students benefit from facilities as does the adjacent primary school. The beneficiaries are local churches, the community and other charities. The purpose does not give rise to any harm.
Strategic report
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the company
The Trustees view the Y Club as a Christian Centre furthering the aims, objects and work of the YWCA Ireland. The Christian faith is central to the Y Club`s values and ethos and wish to see that the centre is utilised as a venue by a wide range of stakeholders especially those benefitting young people.
During the year we continued to support The British Legion, The Journey Church, Leo talking newspaper for the blind, the Church of Ireland and Link Counselling Services.
The trustees are willing to work, provide assistance and accommodation to any charitable organisation.

THE Y CLUB LIMITED
(A company limited by guarantee)
a. Going concern
During the year the charity lost access to its premises in Lisburn. Being unable to secure suitable alternative premises, the decision was made to cease its operations permanently on 30th September 2025 and wind down formally in the post balance sheet period. All remaining funds were donated to other charities with similar charitable purposes prior to closure.
b. Reserves policy
The Trustees assess the level of reserves on a continual basis to ensure that they are able to meet any
commitments that could easily arise.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Y Club Limited is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 27th May 1993.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The company is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission under the registration number NIC102953 and accepted by HMRC as a charity under the reference XR92888.
The Statutory relief's under s.505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 are admissible on income, subject to compliance with the terms of s.505 of the Act.
As required on an ad hoc basis the Trustees discuss the appointment of potential new Trustees for appointment to the Board. Suitable people are approached and if they are willing to serve on the Board their nomination is put forward for approval by the Board. The Trustees are appointed for three years and are available for re-election.
The Board of Trustees are responsible for all aspects of corporate governance within the company. They meet a minimum of four times a year to define and agree strategic priorities for the charity, monitor progress and review the resources available to sustain the company. The day to day running of the charity is carried out by the Company Secretary.
The board continues to regularly review any major risks arising from or impacting on the activities of the charity. The Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary and consider that the financial systems and controls in place are appropriate to the size of the charity and the nature of its operations. A formal risk analysis covering all areas of the school is in the process of being carried out which will enable the board to better identify and implement reporting and controls for relevant risks.
Members' liability
The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Y Club is a company limited by guarantee under number NI027511.
The company is registered in Northern Ireland and its registered office is situated at Suite 2.06, Custom House, Custom House Square, Belfast, BT1 3ET.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements 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 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Y Club Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The accounts are not prepared on the going concern basis. During the year the charity lost access to its premises in Lisburn. Being unable to secure suitable alternative premises, the decision was made to cease its operations permanently on 30th September 2025 and wind down formally in the post balance sheet period. All remaining funds were donated to other charities with similar charitable purposes prior to closure.
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
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 will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity 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 activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Grants payable are charged in the period when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the period end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
|
|
|
Liabilities and provisions
|
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
