TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year to 31 March 2021. The annual report serves the purpose of both a trustees report and a directors report under company law. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (‘SORP’) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102 issued in October 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The charity registered with the Charity Commission on 10 June 1999, under number 1075934 and was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, company number 03657728, on 28 October 1998. The governing documents of the charity are the memorandum and articles of association. The articles of association were revised on 23 May 2019. By special resolution dated 27 September 2019 the charity changed its name from Holbeck Elderly Aid to Holbeck Together.
Appointment of Trustees, induction and training
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the charity. The Board will appoint new trustees taking account of specialisms, experience and enthusiasm for the cause of the charity. All new trustees are provided with an induction pack which includes details of their responsibilities as trustees (including guidance from the Charity Commission on trustees’ roles and responsibilities). New trustees undertake informal training including meeting with the CEO to understand the activities of the charity, visiting St Matthews centre and reviewing the financial reporting for the charity. The Board has yet to carry out a formal assessment of the skillset of the trustees and this along with appraisal of trustee performance is currently under consideration. One new trustee, who previously held the position of Company Secretary for Holbeck Together, was appointed as a trustee in 2020.
Risk management
With the involvement of a nominated trustee a risk register has been developed and approved by the board. Risk management is now a regular item at board meetings. Emerging from this work are several risks that have governance implications. The board is taking a lead in addressing these risks. The board has commissioned a trustee with relevant experience to undertake an internal audit of processes and controls within the organisation. With the steps already taken to strengthen governance through an active work programme, trustees remain satisfied that there are systems in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks identified in the risk register, specifically financial risk, reputational risk, and policies and procedures to ensure safe services are delivered.
Safeguarding
Building on our roots supporting older people to live healthy and active lives in the community, we place safeguarding at the heart of everything we do. This is particularly important as the charity extends its remit to support all members of the community with particular emphasis on families and children through our school holiday work. Notwithstanding changes in government guidance on the requirement for DBS checks for volunteers, trustees agreed that all our volunteers should continue to be asked to undertake a DBS check. The Chief Officer regularly discusses significant safeguarding incidents with the Chair of the board.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Fundraising Policy
The charity has developed a fundraising strategy approved by the board and reviewed on a regular basis. This strategy identifies grant making trusts and potential corporate donors that the charity is already working with or is seeking to submit successful funding applications. The charity does not undertake any fundraising door to door activity; ask for donations on the street; share or sell peoples data; or cold call for fundraising purposes. The charity does not contract with any third-party organisation to raise funds on its behalf.
The charity does work with in the preparation of funding applications; however, the board maintains oversight of all fundraising activities. Due to its size, the charity does not, include itself within the Fundraising Regulator regime.
Much of the funding received is subject to performance review either through written report or face to face meetings with donor organisations. In the year to 31 March 2021 no adverse feedback from donors was received, indeed the charity received many accolades from donors for its work.
Objects and activities
The objects of the charity are set out in the governing document. Holbeck Together is an independent charity whose aim is to support and assist the residents of the Holbeck neighbourhood and surrounding area in alleviating social isolation. Through the revised charitable objectives approved in 2019, the charity has expanded its reach to all people in the Holbeck and wider community and is exercising freedoms under charity law to raise funds through commercial activities.
Holbeck Together has embraced the concept of the “community anchor” organisation working with local people across all generations to improve lives and strengthen community cohesion. The trustees are committed to completing a lease agreement with Leeds City Council to manage St Matthew’s Community Centre as a key community resource, and as a landmark for social regeneration in the area.
Throughout the Covid pandemic the charity has adapted and responded to the evidence of greater need within the local community. Services have had to be adapted and greater use of technology applied to maintain continuity with people who have received regular support and respond to families experiencing intense pressures as a result of social isolation, loss of income and poor health.
The activities of the charity can be broken down into four main areas:
-
Community Support – Holbeck Together’s community support work includes visiting people in their own homes and in the community, providing a variety of services and activities. Holbeck Together support people locally with a range of issues including housing, benefits, financial concerns, mental health and wellbeing. During the last year Holbeck Together have supported our regular clients throughout Covid, with meals, activity packs, befriending calls, seasonal hampers, food parcels, shopping delivery and more. During the last year we have delivered over 2,000 food parcels, made over 4,500 wellbeing calls and provided additional intensive support to over 200 individuals, along with support for individuals to get to medical appointments including vital Covid vaccine appointments.
-
Holbeck Together delivered Winter Warmer hampers including Winter health information, a flask, reusable face masks, hand sanitiser, hand crocheted blankets, hand warmers, hat, scarf and torch.
-
Transport services – During the year under review the charity’s minibuses were unable to run normal activities because of Covid restrictions. For part of the time, the minibuses were made available to assist with NHS patient transport and they also played a vital role in the delivery of hot meal to local residents and taking people to and from vaccination appointments.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
-
Activities – Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic our regular schedule of activities were remodelled providing a schedule of ‘at home’ provision including well-being packs, a seasonal series of hampers and shopping delivery. We also engaged with 100% Digital Inclusion who supported us in upskilling clients digitally throughout the pandemic and introduced a digital lending scheme. Once restrictions eased, we were able to reintroduce face-to-face provision with socially distanced coffee mornings and one-to-one walks in the community. During the year under review Holbeck Together provided over 2,000 wellbeing/ activity packs for older clients and families, supported people with 293 individual shopping requests and facilitated 223 individual walks in the community.
-
Catering – Again the focus of the charity’s work had to change with a focus on the production of hot meals for delivery at home, supper pack-ups for tea time and food parcels for families in need. Later in the year the charity opened a food bank, now transformed into a social supermarket. The charity is proud to have been able to deliver 10,171 meals in the year.
-
Specialist services – During the year under review the charities work with local children and young families has expanded. From the beginning of April 2020 to the end of March 2021. Holbeck Together supported over 100 local families. We provided families with 906 activity packs and recipe packs supporting young people to remain engaged throughout lockdown and whilst home learning. Once restrictions permitted we got creative by developing new ways to facilitate group activity within restrictions. We hosted a series of ‘community trails’ at Halloween, Christmas and Easter which proved to be very popular and beneficial.
The charity continues to extend its reach and provide more services year on year to a large number of people. The current issues the community faces following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it all the more important that the charity is able to continue and expand these services. Adapting the charitable purposes to include all age groups has meant that the charity is now able to extend the range of services offered, in particular to children and families. In partnership with Touchstone we are now also delivering a much-needed mental health support service to people in the area.
During the year under review the charity went through an extensive public consultation process to arrive at its new name, Holbeck Together. The trustees, members of staff and wider stakeholders came to a clear conclusion that the new name much better reflects the future focus and ambition of the charity and gives a clearer message to existing and potential service users.
Organisation
The Board of Trustees meet a minimum of 4 times each year to review the performance of the charity and guide the charity’s strategic direction. There are no sub-committees in place at present. The day to day running of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, Elissa Newman. The CEO will draw on her staff to keep her updated on operation matters.
The Board also took the decision to appoint new accountants to provide a range of financial management services, with a focus on the long-term financial planning and smarter financial reporting. The charity also makes use of external expertise for marketing and communications, digital content, and the preparation of fundraising applications.
Public benefit
The charity’s main activities are set out above in this report. All activities focus on providing social care and support to the community. The impact of the charity’s work reaches beyond those directly helped and includes reducing stress and concern suffered by families and friends. The trustees acknowledge and confirm that the activities of the charity are for public benefit.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Financial review
a. Reserves policy
The trustees have adopted a reserves policy for the charity which is reviewed annually. For 2021/2 the trustees will align the reserves policy more closely to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission. As at 31 March 2021 the charity reported total reserves of £286,914 of which £162,568 represented unrestricted reserves. None of those reserves were designated and £19,722 were invested in fixed assets giving free reserves for the charity at 31 March 2021 of £142,846. These free reserves were represented by net cash at bank.
b. Results
The charity generated incoming resources of £483,812 in the year (2020: £361,169). Total expenditure in the year amounted to £317,209 (2020: £357,266) resulting in an overall surplus in the year of £166,603 (2020: £3,903). The trustees are pleased to report that unrestricted reserves increased in the year by £72,834 to assist with future resilience for the charity.
c. Going concern
The charity was successful in applying for additional funding linked to the Covid pandemic. This funding has contributed significantly to improving resilience to the current situation whilst enabling investment in infrastructure to support new services. Examples include freezers for food storage, and updated IT equipment. Whilst there will always be uncertainty because of reliance on grant income, trustees are confident that with improved free reserves and the time invested in building our partnerships, the charity is in a stronger position to withstand interruptions in the grant funding cycle.
Looking ahead to the future
During 2020/21 the charity commenced work on updating its business plan and risk register to take account of the changed environment in which we are working. Some of these changes are Covid related, however evolving as a ‘community anchor’ for Holbeck has also fostered innovation, new services, and significant new partnerships. Holbeck Together has built a solid reputation as a leading edge third sector organisation, which has stimulated media interest, and support and encouragement from the highest levels within the public sector and state. The charity will maintain its focus on its core business but intends to capitalise on the strength of its reputational asset and ability to innovate. The St Matthews Centre will be at the heart of our plans in the short to medium term, supporting our vision for Holbeck as a place where people are proud to live.
All that we have achieved is only made possible through the dedication and professionalism of our small team of employed staff and our growing team of volunteers. Together they make our vision for Holbeck Together a reality; a dynamic organisation working with the people of Holbeck to improve lives and make Holbeck a place where people are proud to live.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. General information
Holbeck Together is a private limited company by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered offic is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are given on page 2 onwards.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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) (issues October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Holbeck Together meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
During the Covid pandemic, the charity has seen an increase in demand given the frontline nature of the services it provides and the demographic it serves. As a result, the Charity has been successful in obtaining additional grant funding to help it meet the increased need in the community. This funding has contributed significantly to improving resilience to the current situation whilst enabling investment in infrastructure to support new services. Whilst there will always be uncertainty because of reliance on grant income, trustees are confident that with improved free reserves and the time invested in building our partnerships, the charity is in a stronger position to withstand interruptions in the grant funding cycle. As at 31 March 2021 free reserves stood at £142,846 which the trustees believe is sufficient for the charity to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The trustees believe that it is reasonable for the accounts to be drawn up on a going concern basis.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities 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. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity 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 activity are apportioned between those activities 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 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, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Motor vehicles | - | 25% |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% |
| Office equipment | - | 25% |
2.7 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 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.
2.9 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 Charity 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.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity 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.
2.11 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2.12 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
2.13 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
