Programmes and Projects
Let's Read Pro
ramme
Improving literacy, improving lives.
The Let's Read Programme facilitates individual reading support for children attending primary school in some of the most deprived
areas of Leeds. There is much evidence regarding the gap between the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and other pupils. In
2024, this represented a 17-percentage point gap. Only 62% of disadvantaged pupils met the expected standard in reading
compared to 79% of non-disadvantaged pupils. These educational attainment gaps are also linked to other life outcomes including
employment, income, health and criminality-
The Let'5 Read Programme aims to help schools to bridge that gap through the provision of a rolling programme of recruitment,
training, and co-ordination for volunteers from local businesses and communities. Volunteers give a minimum of an hour a week to
support targeted children, helping to improve their reading skills and literacy levels as well as increasing self-confidence,
self-esteem and language & communication skills.
Who benefits: The programme has grown significantly over the last year with an average of 65 volunteers visiting 13 primary
schools on a weekly basis. This means that over 300 children benefit from individual reading support every week.

orchard. We support volunteers to sow, grow and haNest their own flowers, fruit and vegetables which they can then take home
to share with others. Volunteers benefit from professional horticulture and community action support, while improving physical
and mental health and wellbeing. and meeting others in their locality from different cultures and backgrounds. Over the year an
average of 9 volunteers have given up their free time to make their area a better place to be, while benefitting from free fresh

Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charities accounting policies. the trustees are required to make judgements. estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and assoclated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the
revision and future periods rf the revision affects both current and future periods.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue for a period of not less
than 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been
prepared on the going concern basis.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Attivities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for
specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is
received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income.

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 artivity 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 artivity are apportioned between those artivities 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.
