STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Review of activities The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regards to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and that the activities carried out by the charity during the year were all undertaken in order to further the charities aims for the benefit of the Charity's beneficiaries.
The key activities and achievements of the charity during the year are summarised below:
Community Action Redbridge continued to provide support for VCSE organisations through our dedicated Funding and Development Officer. During the year, we supported 73 organisations with fundraising, submitted 44 bids, and secured 25 successful ones, totalling £346,326.
We facilitated two ‘Meet the Funder’ events, enabling local VCSE organisations to engage directly with funders. In addition, we organised two one-to-one funding surgery days with Redbridge Council and Colours of Redbridge, where 12 organisations received tailored guidance on their funding applications and advice on wider funding opportunities. A dedicated funding information session was also delivered to members of the Redbridge Food Partnership, highlighting funding opportunities related to tackling food poverty.
Alongside fundraising support, we continued to provide one-to-one advice on governance and operational matters. This included support in identifying appropriate legal structures, advice on incorporation and charity or CIC registration, and guidance on the development and review of key policies and procedures.
Our Matrix-accredited training programme remained a core strand of our support offer. In 2024-25, we delivered 32 training courses for 154 learners from across the VCSE sector. The training, delivered by qualified members of our Community Development team, focused on key topics such as applying for grant funding, developing a fundraising strategy, demonstrating impact, understanding trustee responsibilities, business planning, and data protection.
The Volunteer Centre has continued to play a vital role in connecting people with meaningful volunteering opportunities, despite the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and a widely reported national shortage of volunteers. With many forced to take on second jobs or work longer hours, people have less free time and disposable income to dedicate to volunteering. While these challenges are felt in Redbridge, we have continued to receive a steady stream of volunteer enquiries. Our greatest challenge remains the imbalance between high levels of volunteer interest and the limited number of available placements.
To address this, we strengthened outreach to volunteer-involving organisations. We also launched sign-up workshops where prospective volunteers received support to register, search for roles, and connect directly with Volunteer Involving Organisations (VIOs). These sessions enabled VIOs to explain their opportunities in person and gave volunteers a clearer understanding of how they could contribute. At our first workshop, all 12 attendees were successfully matched with at least one volunteer role. These workshops are now embedded in our regular outreach programme and are held in community venues. We also worked in partnership with ViOs to create additional one-off volunteering opportunities. These short-term roles are particularly valuable as they offer accessible entry points for people who may not be able to commit to regular volunteering, helping them experience the benefits of giving their time without a long-term commitment. For example, five volunteers supported an arts event hosted by WAW, assisting with set-up, greeting, hosting, and supporting with digital content creation. A further 20 volunteers worked with The Kindness Offensive to wrap Christmas gifts for local children. Overall, the Volunteer Centre promoted 81 volunteering opportunities and placed 223 volunteers in 2024 - 25, and provided development support to 117 organisations to support volunteering best practice. 54 volunteers placed by the Volunteer Centre progressed from volunteering into paid employment. Our annual Volunteering Fair, held at Redbridge Town Hall attracted 209 attendees, promoted volunteerism, and facilitated networking among 34 participating organisations.

We also made progress in developing a new members’ area on the Community Action Redbridge website. This space will provide access to useful resources such as toolkits and templates, and interactive online forums to support collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the sector.
To inform the development of the members‘ area, we ran a co-design workshop with representatives from 12 local VCSE organisations. Their insights have directly shaped the features and functionality of the members’ area, helping to ensure it meets the needs of our diverse membership. A first mock-up was produced in February, including a secure login area for members. Development work is ongoing, with content being finalised and technical integration with our existing systems underway.
A steering group comprising representatives from the local VCSE sector, Redbridge residents, the London Borough of Redbridge, and the NHS worked together to co-design a place-based giving scheme for Redbridge. The group developed the scheme's strategic priorities, a detailed first-year work plan, and a comprehensive funding proposal, which was submitted to the City Bridge Foundation. If successful, the scheme will be established as an independent initiative hosted within Community Action Redbridge.
A place-based giving scheme is a way of encouraging people and organisations to contribute resources, such as money, time or skills, to support and strengthen their local area. Unlike traditional top-down funding models, these schemes are community-led, meaning that priorities are identified by local people rather than by external funders. The scheme aims to help bring in funding and support to turn these community-led priorities into action, by creating a platform where residents, VCSE and public sector organisations, businesses and funders can work together to build a stronger, fairer borough.
The Redbridge scheme is rooted in the principle of devolving real power to communities. A key feature of the model is a participatory approach to grant-making, ensuring that decisions about funding are shaped and led by the communities they are intended to benefit. The scheme aspires to foster hope and positivity by empowering local people and businesses to make a meaningful difference in their neighbourhoods. As of March, we were still awaiting the outcome of the funding application.
Community Action Redbridge played an active role in Ilford Arrival, a regeneration project led by the London Borough of Redbridge as part of the Greater London Authority's Civic Partnership Programme. Through this, we engaged local VCSE organisations in shaping five proposed developments aimed at better connecting Ilford Town Centre with the Roding Valley. These include a new bridge and pocket park, a pedestrian and cycling route, an “urban room" to involve young people in shaping their environment, and the rewilding of Ilford Golf Course.
Community arts organisation Kneed was invited by Community Action Redbridge and LBR to facilitate conversations with key local stakeholders, including Muslimah Sports Association, Redbridge Rainbow, Ilford Hill residents, and the wider public. Using an asset-based community development approach, the process explored people's relationships with the area, identified local strengths, such as the resident-led lford Hill Community Gardens, and highlighted issues such as crime hotspots and poor lighting. The findings will help shape future regeneration plans and have provided a valuable foundation for our ongoing place-based and participatory work, including the development of the Redbridge Giving Scheme.
Our team of four Community Development Practitioners continued their work to advance community-driven health creation in Redbridge, focusing on the Loxford area and the Roma community - both identified as experiencing significant health inequalities. Following a strong first year focused on community engagement, year two aimed to deepen impact by strengthening local relationships, co-developing community-led activities, and embedding more sustainable approaches to improving health and wellbeing. | Key achievements included the development of a Data Pack to support focal VCSE organisations applying for funding | to address health inequalities, and the delivery of a successful One-Stop-Shop event, attended by over 150 men from | underserved communities. The Roma Women's Sewing Group and a Skills Exchange project provided creative and skills-based opportunities for participants, while the Youth Podcast project empowered local young people to explore | and share their perspectives on key topics such as mental health and young people's safety. | Page 3

In 2024-25, we also piloted the Small Sparks Community Fund, offering £500 microgrants to support resident-led projects in Loxford. Eight projects were funded, covering themes such as skills development, fitness, peer support, and social connection. Participants led initiatives ranging from football mentoring and grief support groups to community yoga and women's wellness activities. Evaluation findings showed that the fund strengthened local relationships, reduced isolation, and empowered residents to take ownership of community wellbeing.
Our Social Prescribing Project is grounded in a strengths-based approach that draws on the capabilities of individuals and the assets within their communities. lt is designed to improve health and wellbeing by supporting people to become more resilient, independent and connected. By linking residents with local, non-clinical sources of support, the project helps them to reduce isolation, address challenges in their lives, and regain a sense of agency. In 2024/25, we supported 329 residents, many of whom were facing multiple and interrelated issues, including poor mental health, long-term physical health conditions, food poverty and financial hardship. Through personalised support, we worked with residents to identify their priorities and connected them to a wide range of community-based services and support. Over the year, we made 849 referrals to services and activities across the borough. These included foodbanks, social and leisure groups to help address loneliness and isolation, and advice services offering guidance on debt, benefits and legal issues. This work continues to play a vital role in fostering inclusion, strengthening community resilience, and helping people make informed choices and sustain positive change.
A significant proportion of referrals involved individuals experiencing low mood, or a combination of social isolation and low mood. This highlights the close link between mental wellbeing and wider social circumstances, and reinforces the importance of holistic, person-centred approaches that go beyond clinical treatment alone.
Through our Fit for Fun Project, we worked with 41 groups to deliver community fitness sessions, reaching 632 participants. For groups who completed their 20-week programme of free exercise, we saw significant health improvements, with 89% of participants reporting better physical and mental health, and 100% continuing with regular physical activity after the programme ended.
In autumn 2024, we launched a new Youth Participation Project co-designed with NHS North East London, the University of Hertfordshire, and local young people. The project aims to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for under-served young people in Redbridge by embedding their voices in local health and care planning. We have recruited a team of seven new Young Advisors, local young people from diverse backgrounds, who are helping to shape the project and guide how we engage other young people, as well as how we work with professional stakeholders. Initial activity has focused on team building, skills development and engagement. In 2025-26, the project will move into a development phase, which includes a Community of Practice and a programme of workshops to explore how youth participation can lead to more inclusive, responsive and impactful solutions.
Between November 2023 and May 2024, Community Action Redbridge led a collaborative process to co-design a new strategic vision for health and wellbeing in the borough. We brought together 34 local VCSE organisations alongside four public sector partners to reflect on the challenges facing Redbridge and imagine a different kind of future - one grounded in equity, lived experience, and collective action. The result was Redbridge Reimagined: an ambitious and practical strategy shaped through listening, dialogue and shared commitment.
Since its launch, we have been actively sharing and promoting Redbridge Reimagined across the partnership. The strategy demonstrates what is possible when the VCSE sector is supported to lead and collaborate meaningfully within local systems. It offers a values-led roadmap towards greater health equity, built around three core goals: putting local people in the driving seat, adopting a health creation approach, and enabling whole systems working. More than a document, Redbridge Reimagined is a bold invitation, to public and voluntary sector partners alike, to work differently, share power, and reimagine what is possible when we act together.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Community Action Redbridge has continued to play an active role in the North East London VCFSE Collaborative, helping to shape and strengthen the role of the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector within the {Integrated Care System. Over the past year, we have supported work on a state of the sector report, and helped to plan and deliver engagement activity across the North East London. We have also played a key role in supporting the formalisation of the Collaborative itself, contributing to the development of clear terms of reference, shared priorities, and a fair and transparent process for appointing sector representatives. This work is helping to ensure that the VCFSE sector has a strong, coordinated voice in health and care planning at system level.
Plans for future periods In the year ahead, Community Action Redbridge will continue to strengthen our role as a connector, convenor and advocate for the local VCSE sector. Building on the foundations laid in 2024/25, we will focus on several key areas of development that reflect our commitment to collaboration, equity and community-led change.
One of our major priorities will be the establishment of a new place-based giving scheme for Redbridge. Designed through a co-production process involving local residents, VCSE organisations and statutory partners, the scheme will provide a platform to bring in resources - time, money and skills, to support community priorities. It will take a participatory approach to grant-making and aim to build local confidence, hope and agency by putting power and decision-making in the hands of communities themselves.
We will also continue to develop our youth participation work in health and care. Through our partnership with the University of Hertfordshire and NHS North East London, we will support young people to shape and lead work exploring how their voices can influence local decision-making. This will include expanding our team of Young Advisors, conducting peer research, and developing a Community of Practice to embed learning and promote meaningful involvement across the system.
In addition, we will begin a new research project focused on community resilience and emergency preparedness in Redbridge. This will explore the strengths and capacities that exist within the sector, how these can be better recognised and supported, and what more is needed to ensure all residents can stay safe, connected and well during times of crisis. Finally, we will continue to strengthen and expand our social prescribing offer, developing new partnerships to help address the unmet needs we have identified through our work. In particular, we will explore opportunities to work with others to tackle food poverty and improve access to community-based support for residents experiencing financial hardship, poor mental health and social isolation.

Financial review Principal funding sources Our principal sources of funding are grants and service delivery contracts. There is a continuous effort to maintain and diversify funding.
Reserves policy Community Action Redbridge believes that the Charity should hold reserves because:
-
It has no endowment funding and is dependent on income from grants and contracts from year to year which are inevitably subject to fluctuation.
-
It requires protection against, and the ability to continue operating despite catastrophic or lesser but damaging events.
-
It requires protection against all potential liabilities.
The trustees believe that the minimum level of reserves should be the equivalent of three months operating costs (calculated and reviewed annually) in addition to all known potential liabilities.

Report of the independent Auditors to the Members of Community Action Redbridge
Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Community Action Redbridge (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006,
Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK}}) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Community Action Redbridge
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 10
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Community Action Redbridge
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

- 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.
IncomeAll 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 Jegal 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 and depreciation Tangible fixed assets costing £500 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, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

- ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.
Company status
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 8. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the company.
Debtors
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
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.
Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
