YMCA Culturn Fuslon
Our strategy to manag8 the increased costs of operation has been to maxrmise occupatFon Income and reduce
energy costs through reduced energy consumption and irnproved efficiencies to 8nsur8 the Centre remains
viabl8.
In early 2025 we compl8ted a major upgrade programme replacing all non LED lighting Ihroughout the YMCA
Culture Fusion Building with LED energy efficient I￿hting. The works were complated thanks to a grant from The
VCSE Energy Efficlency Scheme vthich was launched in 2023 to help voluntary, community, and social
enterprise (VCSE) organisations in England improve their energy efficiency.
LED lighting uses less than 80Yo of energy compared to th8 Standard Incandesc8nt bulb. Th8 Improvements are
8Stimated to bring about an annual reduction In energy use of 30,349.22kWh which represents a carbon saving
of approx. 5 tonnes per year. In addition to this we should s88 a cost saving on energy bills which ￿11 help with
ensuring tha building is cost efficient and sustainable for the fuiure.
The Centre continu85 to operate as a multi partner hub spannlng ￿mMunIty, health and educatlon sectors.
Culture Fuslon represents a non territorial safe space in the Ctty Centre whlch is the base for many servlces and
activities comprising NHS Early Intervention servlce. Focus Autism Support, New Choices, Youth Services,
Bra(fford Nightstop and Bradford College.
Flnanclal r•viow
The r•sults for the year show a surplus of £10,922 (2024: £117.912 defidt) before pension scheme obligatlon
movements. There is a defidt on the defined benefit penslon scheme obligatTron of £748 (2024: surplus £2,880)
and the net surplus on funds of £10.174 {2024 £115,032 deficii) has been added to the balanc88 brought
forward.
Total funds of £5,291,324 (2024.. £5,281,150) hav8 been carrled forward to next year. These comprlse
unregtricted funds of £682,435 {2024: £559,457) and restrlcted funds of £4,608.889 (2024: £4,721,693).
The Irust88s continue to source new funding and keep close control over expendlture. They have started the new

process to renew two larger grant funded projects. They hav8 prepared forecasts to 31 October 2026 whlch have
been flex8d to conslder the effect of not being successful in the funding bids, and are confidenl that the charlty
can continue to operate as a golng concem based on their projecttons.
The reserves pollcy was revlewed in 2022123 taking into account inflationary pressures and Increas8d 8n8rgy
costs. It is the policy of the charity thal unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use
should be maintained at a level equivalent to at least three month's budgeted expenditure which amounts to
£300,000. The trustees considers that reserves at this level ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in
funding, they wlll be able to continue the chariVs current activities while consideration is given to ways in which
additional funds may be raised. This18vel of reserves has been mainlained throughout the year.
A restricted reserve has be8n cr8ated for the express purpos8 of compensating the depreciation on the Culture
Fusion building, the cost of which is shown as a Long Leasehold Improvement. The directors consider that the
figures stated in these accounts are not unreasonable. The Culture Fusion property is being depreciated over a
50 year p8ri0d.
Th8 YMCA has undertaken an ethical stance on th8 type of investments that are held.

any potential problems with programmes at an operational lev81 and ther8by att8mpt to minimise the risk of
competition from similar local organisations to wn exists'ng programmes. Operations are sourced without bank
overdraft and loan facilities and thereby ellminating a large area of financial risk.
