REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The organisation presents as a social enterprise, developing its own income streams whilst supporting its Community's needs. A review of the purpose and strategic direction of the organisation was undertaken in 2021-22. Our updated 5 year Strategic Business Plan was published in 2021-22 which confirmed the following vision, mission, and values:

During the year in preparation for our next strategic plan over the year we undertook a staff consultation, a Trustees Away Day and a Staff away day.

Our Vision: A thriving community that's a great place to live, work and play.

Our Mission: To work positively with local people to achieve our shared vision.

Our Core Values: The way we work is to build trusted relationships with others including staff, volunteers, local people and partners. We are...

Trustworthy

We will continue to build trust amongst residents, clients, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders by being open, honest and leading by example.

Open

Our services will be accessible to residents and we will remain open and accountable to our stakeholders.

Adaptable

We are responsive to the needs of the local community and will adapt our delivery to reflect change.

Creative

We will continue to find creative solutions to problems and build creativity into our approach as this encourages the engagement of our community.

Our Strategic Aims

  1. Community Involvement - to develop a sense of ownership of Meadow Well Connected amongst residents through creative engagement, e.g., events, outreach work, community-led activities.

  2. Skills Development - to provide inspiration and support for local people who wish to develop new skills and new ways of enriching their lives.

  3. Wellbeing - to strengthen and support the physical, mental, and social resilience of residents.

What we do

Meadow Well Connected is the Community and Resource Centre at the hub of the community in one of the most deprived wards in North Tyneside, namely Chirton and Percy Main.

We work with the local community to identify the most significant needs and develop programmes of support with them to enable them to flourish and become more independent, both economically and socially.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Current programmes are in four key areas: Community Involvement, Skills Development, Well-being, and Organisational Development. They include environmental & horticultural skills development through volunteering in our extensive gardens which provide an oasis of green space within the community ; debt and money management support; alcohol reduction programmes and employability skills and support; health & wellbeing initiatives to improve the mental & physical health of local people; affordable after-school provision to support children aged 5-13 and help their parents manage work commitments; a number of community-led workshops and activities; horticulture, forest school, beekeeping, joinery, music and enrichment programmes to support adults with additional needs and young people who have disengaged from school to develop skills to give them greater independence.

Community Involvement: this is central to our service delivery and links to our mission of working positively with local people to achieve our shared vision. We seek to involve local people in our service development and take their opinions into account when shaping the service we provide. We undertake continuous contact with local people through focus groups, door-knocking, and surveys. In November 2021 we commissioned an independent community consultation which received over 200 responses from local households. The report demonstrated a large increase in awareness of Meadow Well Connected since our previous community consultation which was undertaken in 2018 and highlighted the priorities for local people around:

Our responses to these findings were implemented in 2022-23 and 23-24 and in 2024-25 we continued to find new and improved ways to address these matters with good success and greater outreach within the community.

Skills Development: all aspects of our charitable provision and social enterprise work is shaped to ensure skills development is central to our delivery model. Staff, clients, and volunteers agree personal goals for skills development and this links with our vision of a thriving community. Our Relational Mentoring Service supports people to address issues and learn skills that move them closer to the labour market.

Wellbeing: we work to create a safe, welcoming space where individual differences are recognised and valued. We have a unique mix of clients, staff and volunteers working shoulder-to-shoulder to create a supportive and varied environment where people can gain self-confidence and build self-reliance. We have started to offer support and space to some specific groups in the community we identified for instance, Dads of children with autism, and veterans.

Organisational Development: we recognise the challenging environment in which we operate and seek to work in a creative and forward-looking way to maximise the assets of the organisation through developing sustainable business offers. We currently operate local authority contracts; room hire and training as income generating activities to support the core costs of the organisation. We are working to develop strong links to business and have made several successful links including Capita, Sage, TLW Solicitors, Axminster Tools, and Utilita Energy. During 2024-25 we continued to work collaboratively with VODA and also with Walking With.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Since we became members of North Tyneside Mental Health Alliance in the previous year, we have continued to work more closely with other Voluntary Sector Organisations across North Tyneside, sharing training, expertise and resources. We have forged links with Richmond Fellowship enabling us to use their premises for clients we are not able to meet within Meadow Well Connected. We have accessed training on Mental Health First Aid, Autism among other courses and have submitted joint funding bids with other Alliance members.

Following our rebranding exercise last year - we rebranded the centre as The Meadows which was the name preferred during the consultation - being the original name by which the centre was known and one which is still referred to and preferred by much of the community. It is apt that the rebrand takes us back to our community roots for our 30th year. Along with this we developed a new website and refreshed our presence across Social Media Platforms and have continued in the year to promote and share interesting activities and events across a range of social media which has been very well received and engaged with by the community, delivering the improved marketing of our services that the community expressed a desire to see in the Community Consultation carried out in 2021.

Public benefit

In reviewing our strategic objectives and planning our activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The trustees are satisfied that the strategic objectives are in line with the charity's objects as set out in the governing document.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Our Projects & Services

Better Together

Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, this initiative works in partnership with Phoenix Detached Youth Project to foster community cohesion. It delivers structured group activities, peer support sessions, and targeted interventions for vulnerable individuals, ensuring that local voices shape the programme.

Volunteer Coordination

Our volunteer programme recruits, trains, and supports individuals who contribute to community projects. Volunteers assist in events, mentoring, and crisis response, creating a strong network of local champions.

Crisis support

Providing emergency assistance for food, fuel, and digital poverty. This service ensures families and individuals in hardship receive immediate help, including access to essential resources and signposting to longer-term solutions.

Relational Mentoring

Delivered in partnership with Wise Group, this programme offered one-to-one mentoring focused on building resilience, confidence, and pathways to employment or education for those facing complex challenges. It is very disappointing to report that The Wise Group did not renew their contract for relational mentoring, so funding ceased at the end of the year.

Kids Club & Mini Kids

Supported by Children in Need and Community Foundation, these clubs have provided safe, fun, and educational environments for the children of our community for over a decade. Activities include arts, sports, and themed sessions, complemented by HAF-funded holiday programmes for Easter, Summer, and Christmas programmes to tackle holiday hunger and isolation. Our clubs maintained very strong attendance throughout the year.

Positive Pathways

Backed by TLW Solicitors, this initiative promotes wellbeing through structured activities such as cooking classes, fitness sessions, and peer support groups. Its aim is to reduce isolation and improve mental health by building friendship and interest in new activities.

PAUSE Alcohol Reduction Service

This is an ICB-funded service, our specialist alcohol worker supports individuals to develop positive coping strategies to reduce and often abstain from alcohol consumption through counselling, group sessions, and personalised plans delivering tailored interventions and referrals to ensure all support needs are met.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Digital Support

Providing access to IT suites, digital skills training, and equipment loans. This service bridges the digital divide, enabling residents to connect with essential services and improve employability. We also have our gaming room which has been a fantastic success with our young people.

Community Development

We host events and workshops to strengthen community ties, fostering collaboration and shared learning with volunteer events and an array of regular groups.

In the year we held and launched a number of very successful activities, including:

Our Environmental Impact & Carbon Reduction Plan

We continue to improve, enhance and promote this since our sustainability programme achieved Silver Investors in the Environment accreditation in Oct 2023. Activities include recycling drives, energy-saving workshops, and community gardening projects.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The year was again a particularly challenging one for us financially for a number of reasons. The loss of long term tenants during the pandemic has not been recovered and it is increasingly difficult to secure grants in the charitable sector. Additionally, following the high cost of vandalism in the previous year we invested in anti-roll bars being erected around the building and anti-climb paint.

During the year we devoted substantial time and effort, in particular by our Chief Officer, to focus on maximizing income secured this meant our position was improved on the previous year although we still incurred a year end deficit of £154.6k (2023/24 - £209.7K) to cover from reserves.

Reserves amounted to £328.5k (2023/24 - £483.1k) of which £217.9k (2023/24 - £174.7k) was subject to restriction and a further £110.0k (2023/24 - £210.5k) was designated by the trustees.

Included within unrestricted general funds is an amount of £38.9k (2023/24 - £46.3k) which is represented by illiquid assets; this leaves no free reserves for the charity (after allowing for restricted, designated and committed amounts) total £nil (2023/24 - £51.5k).

Based on these assessments and the current strong reserves position, the trustees have concluded they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements for the following 12 months.

MEADOW WELL CONNECTED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Reserves policy

Meadow Well Connected is currently dependent on grant income to sustain its activities, as earned income alone is insufficient to allow MWC to continue operating. This means that if there were to be a gap in grant income it is likely that MWC would have to close.

To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the MWC Board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 12 months. The main concerns of the Board are to ensure that staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding and that service users are supported to move on to other appropriate services.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

As we enter the next year our priorities are as follows:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Meadow Well Connected is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association as amended 25 March 2022.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

As set out in the Articles of Association the chairperson of the trustees shall serve a two-year period and is entitled to be re-appointed by nomination. The vice chairperson and directors shall serve a two-year period and are entitled to be re-appointed by nomination.

Marjory Burdis served in the role of Chair in addition to her role as Finance Chair throughout the period. David Slater served as Vice Chair and also joined the Finance and Fundraising Committee. Wendy Gill was welcomed to the Board of Trustees.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT - continued

Induction and training of new trustees

All staff, volunteers and Trustees undergo an induction upon commencement at the Centre which includes:

Separately each group then receive specific induction relevant to their role and are linked to specific project areas on a rotational basis to deepen their understanding of the work we do.

Induction and training of new staff and volunteers

All staff engage in an initial probationary period where upon they are given support to enable their transition into the organisation and development in post. Thereafter, staff participate in annual performance reviews, which are supported by our monitoring and evaluation processes in terms of their particular provision. Any learning or development needs are assessed, and appropriate measures taken to support the individual's ongoing evolution within their role and the charity.

Volunteers are supported by staff to ensure they are gaining from their time volunteering, supported in accessing additional services and provisions and that their work has mutual benefit for the individual and the organisation. Our Volunteer Coordinator ensures volunteers are fully trained and vetted in relation to our safeguarding procedure.

During the year, we had tremendous support across the organisation from volunteers for which we are immensely grateful.

Key management remuneration

Salary and other benefits payable to key management personnel are benchmarked independently biannually against comparable roles with other organisations in the voluntary sector.

Organisational structure

The appointed Chief Officer leads the organisation, setting strategy and overseeing the growth and development of its services and offer to the community. She is supported by the Delivery & Development Manager, Office Manager and Facilities Coordinator to ensure all areas of the operational, project and financial management is effectively monitored and developed.

The Board of Trustees meet eight times a year to oversee strategic priorities and ensure governance and adherence to the organisations mission, vision, and values.

In total there were 21 staff members (14.6FTE), with 1 directly funded through the Wise Group Project, and the remainder funded through a combination of project and core income.

The organisation has developed to generate its own income and as such has two main functions: social enterprise activities and charitable activities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT - continued

Risk Management

The trustees actively review the major risks that the charity faces on a regular basis and systems are in place to mitigate such risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of transactions and projects to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the Charity.

The Safeguarding and Risk Management Committee established in 2022-23 continued to meet and make site visits and safety walks. The purpose of the Safeguarding and Risk Management Committee is to scrutinise, monitor and advise on matters relating to our policy for safeguarding vulnerable adults and children and to ensure our non-financial risk management is effective and up to date.

During 2024-25 a number of governance activities took place, including

Resources Management

We undertake strict monitoring of resources and regularly review contracts with suppliers to ensure we are achieving best value and utilising grant funding in the most efficient and effective way. We have however disappointingly to report that the difficulties in obtaining timely information following the implementation of a new financial information system to replace SAGE continued and were very costly to us. The move to Xero unfortunately resulted in a lot of additional work for our officers. We did not receive the necessary support from the company, and the trustees were concerned about the amount of work our officers were having to undertake to do the most basic of financial activities, so they took the decision to abort Xero and move to a third provider. After a robust evaluation process a new financial information system was ordered towards the end of the year which is specifically for charity accounting.

Partners, supporters, and funders

Meadow Well Connected is enormously appreciative of the support it receives through all its partners, funders, supporters, volunteers, and users. Partners Capita are our Strategic Partners, offering funding, support, advice, and volunteers. TLW continue to provide financial support for our Positive Pathways group enabling them to undertake a range of activities both in the centre and as external trips. The Bay Foodbank - we continue to support the food bank working to help local people. We are very grateful for the support they give to our Connected Kids Club; Positive Pathways group, Community Garden and Crisis Fund clients. We continue to host a number of tenants including United Response and 1st Meadow Well Scouts continue to base themselves in the centre. North Tyneside Recovery College base their Recovery Café in the centre on a Friday morning. Peer Talk base their mental health peer support group in the centre on a Wednesday. We have continued to build a positive relationship with Phoenix Detached Youth Project (PDYP). Following on from the pilot Street Play Project together. We successfully achieved National Lottery funding to enable the continuation of the Better Together initiative for a further 3 years.

Our special thanks therefore go to those volunteers who dedicate so much time, effort, and passion to supporting who we are and what we do. We are very grateful to all our clients, volunteers, staff and supporters for their hard work, commitment, and adaptability during 2024-25.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MEADOW WELL CONNECTED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Meadow Well Connected ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
