Structure, governance and management
The Charity is constituted as a Company Limited by Guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum & Articles of Association incorporated 09th April 2013.
There are three Trustees bringing a broad mix of skill, experience and background.
Trustees are appointed and reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting.
Objectives and activities
Mission Statement
Our mission is to benefit the inhabitants of Dundrum by providing a welcoming community facility to include all ages, gender, race, political and religious beliefs thus challenging the social normalities of Northern Ireland. We will provide an environment where people can learn from each other through various forms of social education and support with the goal to improve the quality of life in the community.
OBJECTIVES
1. Provide for the inhabitants of the Dundrum area a centre to promote social education by recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the interest to improve the conditions of life for Dundrum residents. 2. Foster cross- community development 3. Foster an atmosphere of support, relationship, resolution, reconciliation and encouragement among parents and their children in Dundrum. 4. Include Christian guidance and assist young people to develop their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual capacities that they may grow into full maturity as individuals and members of society. The religious opinion of each person is respected. 5. Maintain and manage a facility in Dundrum to host activities and education promoted by RIOT.
ACTIVITIES
RIOT activities take place in two buildings:-
RIOT Youth Centre - ongoing programmes included:-
After School Drop In - the youth come and spend time together after school, get assistance with homework, or to relax and play pool, football and ping pong. We are working with other local providers to offer an OCN youth work qualification to our young leaders. (YMCA And Clanmill Housing group). RIOT has slowly moved into the area of mentoring and developing, training for our young people whilst we still run all the usual programs, drop ins, youth hangouts, trips etc. Friday Night Drop In - 150+ young people, divided into two groups, enjoy healthy fun instead of using alcohol, or other substances. In connection with PCSP and our local PSNI officer we are working together to reach out as best we can to young people. We continue to be a huge boost to the local community, giving our young folk a safe place to hang out and build friendships across the divide. We recently ran a Hope For Life Youth event and also an identity program in connection with Down Rural Network Group.
More work was done on the grounds and a community garden has been started with support from local people. Acontainer is now in place and the project needs to be completed. A Men's shed has been established connecting with local Healthcare centres to provide a space for those Men specifically needing support. A children's play park continues to serve the local community.
Notable activities which took place during the year were Prayers for the Village, held on the last Thursday of each month which is open to all sections of the community, and a Vision breakfast held in early January. More importantly, we see clearly now the important role that RIOT plays as a community hub for many young, old and families.
RIOT House
RIOT House is recognised by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as a Youth Hostel. Teams, groups and individuals are able use the accommodation. This has the potential to become a major source of income in the future.
RIOT JOY Café - Seniors Group
RIOT Joy Café runs weekly on a Thursday morning from 10am - 12noon out of RIOT House. We provide tea, coffee, snacks and simple activities like knitting, board games, adult colouring and a lot of
chat. We have held 20 minute low intensity exercise sessions and offered simple hand and nail care. Some Thursday's we have also served hot lunches to our members. We make sure to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Easter and Christmas. We have also used the RIOT minibus to go on outings to shopping centres and the cinema. Regular volunteers oversee the kitchen duties and interact with our members. We average around 20 attendees each Thursday.
Achievements and performance
Activities continue to be developed to serve the local community.
Financial review
The Charity's main source of funding remains from voluntary donations and community grants. A small amount is gained from income via RIOT House. The Trustees oversee the finances of RIOT and are committed to ensuring sufficient funds are available to support the current organisational activities with an appropriate level of funds maintained for reserves.
Plans for future periods
Develop ongoing projects, to keep providing a service to the community. We are connecting with the local Village Association to develop connections and serve more people locally. RIOT has become a main stay of Dundrum community. We no longer just service Dundrum but presently have adults and youth people coming from local towns and villages to make use if the facilities and connect with the projects we provide.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 11 March 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 April 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in N Ireland and a registered charity in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 7 Manse Road, Dundrum, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0NE, Northern Ireland.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
There have been no assumptions or estimates made which will have a significant affect within the next financial year.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

| Motor Vehicles | - | 20% straight line
| Equipment | - | 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee of members and does not have a share capital. The liability of members is limited to £1
