Bramley Elderly Action Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 Objectives and activities Objects In 1994, Bramley Elderly Action {BEA) was set-up by local people in response to the social isolation and loneliness discovered amongst local elders discharged from hospital. We provide a broad range of social, health improvement activities and support. for the older people of Bramley and surrounding areas. Through Older Wiser Local Seniors (OWLS) we make a similar impact for older people living in Headingley and surrounding areas. The local authority has part funded our work since 1994 with the initial funding being a response to the National Health Service and Community Care Act. In response to the COVID pandemic, our simplified mission is now to increase happines5 for local older people. Consequently, we have started to undertake annual happiness surveys of our members, asking the same questions as the ONS annual happiness survey. Our 'Ambitious Strategic Plan {2021 26), sets out how we plan to increase happiness e.g. by doubling our meMbehIp and increasing engagement amongst existing members. Our values are.. 'caring, inclusive, efficient, effective. and these shape the cycle of reviews that we are undertaking of the systems that support the impact we make e.g. finance, facilities, community transport. In 2024, we plan a 'Massive Review, of what members can expect from us and what we would like from them. Membership of BEA and OWLS is free to people aged 60 and above living in the respective catchment area. Actlvltles undertaken for publlc beneflt In relatlon to objects Across BEA and OWLS we provide a wide range of 33 regular preventative health activitles to get people out-and-about. These include.. a befriending scheme, a supermarket shopping service, lunch clubs, drop-in cafes, a tea bar. memory cafés, trips, extra care trips, a Mens Groupi a Lads Lunch, exercise classes, chair based yoga, crown green bowling, beginners art class, walking group, foot cllnlcs, onllne qulz, IT support... In 2023, we started to support 'community activists, to run thelr own groups and the first two are a gardening group and a craft group. In considering the charity's benefit to the public, the trustees have followed the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and are satisfied that the charity's activities do benefit the public. Achievements and Performance In 2011, we set up Older Wiser Local Seniors (OWLS) which operates in the neighbouring Headingleyi Burley, Hyde Park, Little Woodhouse and parts of Kirkstall. OWLS is part of BEA, although it has its own identity, membership, volunteers and range of activities. In March 2020 we purchased our first pmperty, which provides OWLS with a high street presence and office in central Headingley, plus a source of income from the tenants living on the first floor. We now have an income stream from four buildings, adding to Bramley Community Shop {2009 run by our social enterprise), Bramley Lawn Social Centre {2014) and Bramley Community Centre (2018). Upbeat Social Enterprise CIC is our social enterprise and is closely linked to BEA but it has its own Board and financial statements. In 2021 (during the pandemic), we were appointed the Leeds winner Virgin Media'5 Local Legend Cèmpaign and made a good start on our Ambitious Strategic Plan (2021 -26), assisted by the appointment of a Business Development Manager. In 2023, we invested a volunteers significant legacy to set up a volunteering scheme called Action. Our investment (£150k) has been match funded by the National Lottery. The results of the 2023 Happiness Sutvey (responses from 306 members), suggest that we are helping our members to be happier and include suggestions as to how we can increase our impact. We are proud of the positive impact that we have made since 1994 and our positive response to the pandemic and the horrible time that older people experienced. We are thankful for the continued Doc ID.. 713630bd4688378dcfe312c5cfOct6fc58c09ff8
support that we receive from Leeds City Council, funders, patrons, corporate patrons, volunteers (over 200) plus the community in which we live and operate. Financial Review The attached accounts show the state of affairs at 31st March 2023. Over the year we operated with a surplus1£181,170) and this was mainly attributable to a greater than expected legacy frorn a former volunteer. In addition, fees and other income increased (from £62,300 to £116,573) and this was mainly attributable to a return to the activity fees we receive from our members following the pandemic. However, it also includes an increase in earned income, consistent with our plans (Five Pillars of Sustainable Growth Strategy and Seven Step Funding Strategy) for sustainable funding and growth. Expenditure (£610,199) was as budgeted {£605,000). The Board have decided to invest £90,000 in better mobilising our army of volunteers (200) and we have used this investment to help attract match funding from the National Lottery. In April 2023, we will be starting a new volunteering I community activist scheme called 'Action'. We see 2023124 as a bridging year, in which we have made use of the recent legacy to set a deficit budget. That will allow us time to secure new grants and to develop all strands of our funding strategy. We recognise that we need to be successful in this, in order to achieve financial sustainabilityi and will be fully considering the outcome of our grant bids, the progress on our donatlon work, etc when budgetlng for 2024125 In 2023, we reviewed our reserves policy. Our reserves policy is to have a designated reserves fund that contains the equivalent to a minimum of the staff redundancy costs (currently £43,000 TBC) plus 200/0 of the value of the LCC grant {currently £57,000) that we receive to deliver a Neighbourhood Scheme. The level of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves} at 3 1 March 2023 is £128,937 and in line with our policy. This policy has been established with the following considerations being taken into account: its forecasts for levels of income for the current and future years, taking into account the reliability of each source of income and the prospects for developing new income sources; its forecasts for expenditure for the current and future years on the basis of planned activityi its analysis of any future needs, opportunities, commitments or risks, where future income alone is unlikely to be able to meet anticipated costs; and Its assessment, on the best evidence reasonably available, of the likelihood of each of those needs that justify havlng reserves arising and the potential consequences for the charlty of not being able to meet them The organization has placed reserves in a 95-day release investment account. The Board consider the organisation to be in a sustainable position. Structurei governance and management Governing document The governing document takes the form of a memorandum of association and an articles of association. In 2022 we reviewed and updated the memorandum and articles to make the wording more current. The company limited by guarantee wa5 registered on 10 January 1995 number 3008194. Company status The company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of a winding-up. The number of guarantees at 31st March 2023 was I Trustee selection methods We follow 'Getting on Board's, recommendations and use open recruitment to aim to attract diverse volunteers to our board with the skills we need to ensure we deliver our Ambitious Strategic Plan. Potential trustees meet with the Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) before being invited to observe a Board meeting/s. In 2023, the Board completed an audit of skills and revised our recruitment process to make sure it is in line with good practice. Doc ID.. 713630bd4688378dcfe312c5cfOct6fc58c09ff8

All trustees complete the volunteer induction and are offered training where appropriate. Organisational structure In 2021 we completed a review of the management structure in order to better equip the organisation to better align the staff structure with our Ambitious Strategic Plan (2021 -26).

1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Bramley Elderly Action meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. No such restatement was required.
c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
