## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2025

- ## 1. Accounting policies

  Basis of measurement and preparation

  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

  Turnover policy

  Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Any grant income, fundraising income or income that is not part of the ordinary business activities of the company has been recorded as Other Income, where applicable.

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows: Office Equipment: 2 years (straight line)

  Other accounting policies

  Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for the employee's services to the company. Where employees have accrued short-term benefits which the entity has not paid by the balance sheet date, an accrual is recognised within creditors: amounts falling due within one year together with an associated expense in profit or loss. The liabilities are classified as current obligations in the statement of financial position because they are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period. Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.

# COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

### REFUGEE YOUTH SERVICE UK CIC

### Company Number: 14555927 (England and Wales)

### Year Ending: 31 December 2025

Company activities and impact

Our work throughout 2025 continued to focus on the UK, where we supported age-disputed asylum-seeking children living in Home Office hotel accommodation intended only for adults. Specifically, the project: - Identified age-disputed children and provided them with information on their rights - Referred age-disputed children to the local authority responsible for transferring them to suitable accommodation and progressing the age-assessment process - Referred children to legal firms and supported them until all attempts to be recognised as children had been exhausted - Monitored children’s wellbeing, provided opportunities for recreation and respite and made connections between them and local service providers RYS continued to deliver its Journey with an Unaccompanied Child capacity-building training programme, reaching individuals across new geographic areas and from a broadening range of professions and occupations. The training supported professionals to strengthen safe-guarding practice and to better understand the experiences and rights of unaccompanied and age-disputed children. During 2025, RYS formally concluded its support to Velos Youth in Greece, which was originally established as a sister organisation. Velos Youth is now fully independent, with its own governance and operational structures, and continues to deliver community-based services for displaced young people. At the end of 2025, the board of directors voted to begin an orderly closure of Refugee Youth Service UK CIC during 2026. This decision reflected the organisation’s strategic assessment of its role, capacity, and the wider operating environment, and was taken with the intention of ensuring that all existing commitments are concluded responsibly and in line with the organisation’s community interest objectives.

Consultation with stakeholders

Children and young people supported by RYS are offered the opportunity to provide feedback when RYS concludes its work with them. This timing is intentional, as it is when young people are typically most comfortable providing open and honest reflections on their experience. Feedback is used to assess whether support was accessible, appropriate, and responsive to their needs. RYS continued to work with session workers with lived experience of forced migration to sup-port the delivery of its services. Their input helped to ensure that the organisation’s approach remained grounded in lived experience and responsive to the realities faced by the children and young people being supported. In 2025, a former service user joined the organisation’s board of directors. This appointment strengthened lived-experience representation at a governance level and supported more in-formed decision-making across the organisation. All training participants were asked to complete surveys before and after attending RYS’ training programme. Pre-training surveys captured participants’ expectations, while post-training surveys assessed whether these expectations were met and invited feedback on the quality, relevance, and delivery of the training. This feedback continued to inform minor adjustments to content and delivery throughout the year. As part of its planning for an orderly closure during 2026, the board also reflected on feed-back gathered over previous years to ensure that services were concluded responsibly and that learning from the organisation’s work is retained and shared appropriately.

Directors' remuneration

The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £14,325.99. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for directors’ loss of office, which require to be disclosed.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
