Someone else, “My body is so relaxed, I had forgot what it feels like to be relaxed”.

Zest provide a city-wide ‘tier 2’ adult child and family weight management service, commissioned by Sheffield City Council.

Service Highlights

This year has seen an all-time high number of referrals into the adult service (3391 up from 2677) and has also created the highest number of successful completers we have ever had in both the adult (442 up from 210) and families (137 up from 47) services.

A very positive and successful experience in taking on the temporary extended service offer with 14 citywide partners.

The team have engaged in a variety of citywide events and initiatives including the Sheffield is Sweet Enough campaign, Move More Sheffield and Children and Young People’s Alliance Conference.

What’s on the Horizon

Prepare for Live Lighter service retender in Autumn 2023. This will require a multi-faceted Sheffield wide partnership and will have specific resource given to it to ensure the best possible submission from Zest with an optimistic and compassionate approach to weight management at its core.

Children, Young People & Families

“I have learnt things as an individual and as a parent – in fact the most special thing about it, is seeing – the positive ripples around my family and people I have spoken to about what I am learning your community!!! You can genuinely see and feel the positive effect.”

The Zest Communities team work across a range of projects supporting parents and young people of all ages, helping to build communities from own back yard of Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe and across the city.

Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC)

EPEC is a parenting programme run by trained local parents for local parents with new volunteer parent group leaders being trained each year. It aims to improve child development and outcomes, parenting, family resilience and family relationships.

Case study

Through accessing the HAF project Family J have connected with Zest. AJ (a girl aged 9) is autistic and a young carer for her mum, who has mobility issues. Through HAF, over the last year Zest has funded a swimming costume, armbands and floats so that AJ can access funded swimming lessons during the holidays. This meant that when we took them to Bridlington this summer, AJ was able to fully enjoy her first ever trip to the seaside and go into the sea with confidence!

Community Champions

The Community Wellbeing Champion project supports volunteer peer intervention as a method of improving health outcomes through direct community engagement. The primary focus involves conversations about health and wellbeing in the community through volunteer peer support.

This Community Can

This Community Can (TCC) is a community-led project with a team of three aiming to empower individuals and the community through volunteering and social connections. Its development is ongoing and organic being responsive to community aspirations.

Work and Training Services

“I wouldn't have been able to take on these new challenges if it hadn't been for the support of Zest for Work."

The Zest for Work team continued to provide its tailored employment support services and training courses for individuals and groups in the community. Its role includes helping employers to find the right candidates and ensuring people are fully supported along their journey to finding work and improving their lives.

Service highlights

Matrix accreditation achieved; an internationally recognised quality standard for organisations that deliver information, advice and guidance (IAG).

More than 50 people were referred to the S6 foodbank including families. Resulting in over 500 vouchers being issued.

Case study

J had no support network in Sheffield and no experience of working within the UK when he was recommended to Zest. The Zest for Work team set about guiding him with support for each step along the way to securing employment with Tesco.

“I needed urgent support to help me with everything. I was recommended to Zest and I couldn’t have been happier. They were very positive and gave me the information, guidance and the support I needed.”

The Zest team helped J to create a CV, set up online profiles with job searching websites and helped build his confidence, helping him access a food bank so he didn’t go hungry. The team even helped him find a suit for interviews because he had no interview clothes.

“I can’t thank the Zest enough they helped me every step of the way and I wouldn’t have been able to do this myself without their support - The team at Zest are fantastic, and I was made to feel so welcome” - J Zest for Work client.

What’s on the horizon

The majority of contracts are short term so energy is focused on securing future funding to enable us to continue to deliver valuable, tailored employment and skills support in the local community.

Subsidiary and other controlled companies

The charity also controls Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe Healthy Living Centre Trust, a registered charity (Charity number 1090345) and a company limited by guarantee (company number 4258284), as it is able to appoint and remove trustees in that charitable company. Its incoming resources for the year were £80,000 (2022: £80,000) and its total resources expended were £174,423 (2022: £175,770), leaving a net decrease in funds of £94,423 (2022: £95,770). At 31 March 2023 the net assets of Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe Healthy Living Centre Trust were £862,270 (2022: £956,693).

Financial review

The group has made a deficit of £200,094 in the year (2022: surplus of £178,224). Unrestricted funds are showing a deficit of £45,101 (2022: deficit of £54,121) and restricted funds are showing a deficit of £154,993 (2022: surplus of £232,345) for the year. At 31 March 2023 total fund balances were £1,945,093 of which £786,088 were unrestricted and £1,159,005 were restricted.

The charity has made a deficit of £105,671 in the year (2022: surplus of £273,994). Unrestricted funds are showing a deficit of £31,070 (2022: deficit of £40,186) and restricted funds are showing a deficit of £74,601 (2022: surplus of £314,180) for the year. At 31 March 2023 total fund balances were £1,082,823 of which £633,796 were unrestricted and £449,027 were restricted.

Reserves Statement

The charity reviewed its reserves policy during the year and agreed that funds of £225,000 should be held in reserve, including cover for significant events, as follows:

The Trustees agreed that any surplus above that needed for reserves may be re-invested to support charitable activities and that any such re-investment will be agreed by the Trustees.

Free unrestricted group reserves at 31 March 2023 were £147,825 (2022: £188,458), a decrease of £40,633 on the last period. This remains below the target reserve level and requires close financial risk management and monitoring alongside clear business development objectives to ensure the company retains a secure footing that minimises any call on reserves. This includes quarterly review of the ‘in year’ accounts position and the pipeline investment opportunities to provide a clear and robust position for Trustees.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated and Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditor’s 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.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement in the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

15

Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance (continued)

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement (set out on page 14), 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with this Act.

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 an auditor’s report 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.

16

Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance (continued)

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly and indirectly affect the financial statements. Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment it operates within, we determined that the laws and regulations which were most significant included FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, Health and Safety regulations and the Charities Act 2011. We considered the extent to which non-compliance with these laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements, including how fraud might occur. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate journal entries to improve the company’s result for the period, and management bias in key accounting estimates.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the more removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-of-theauditor’s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes on Accounts

Year Ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting policies

Company information

Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Zest Centre Upperthorpe Healthy Living Centre, 18 Upperthorpe, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S6 3NA.

Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Exemptions for qualifying entities

The charitable company has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a statement of cashflows on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and the group cashflow statement included within these financial statements includes the company’s cashflows.

Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making that assessment, the trustees have specifically considered the impact of the coronavirus on the operations of the charity, alongside actions taken to mitigate that impact. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors and which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost 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 accounts.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Grants received are allocated between activities and between restricted and unrestricted funds according to their nature.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Income is deferred when income has been received in advance relating to a contract to perform a service, where that service has not yet been provided, either in full or in part.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

Where the amount paid for the rental of the land and buildings used by the charity is below the commercial rate, a donation is included in income for the difference between the commercial rate and the amount actually paid by the charity.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources (continued)

Grants are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

Resources expended

Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred.

Charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes grants made to projects, costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grant expenditure is included based on the date that individual projects’ expenditure has been incurred, rather than the date that the grants are defrayed to the projects.

Governance costs included those costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource, and include irrecoverable VAT.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Leasehold buildings straight line over the life of the lease Leasehold property improvements 4% straight line Plant and machinery 33%/20% and 10% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Fixed assets costing less than £500 are not capitalised.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss if any.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets (Continued)

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Leasing and hire purchase commitments

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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.

Basis of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance and its controlled undertaking, Upperthorpe & Netherthorpe Healthy Living Centre Trust.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowing in current liabilities.

Employee benefits`

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability in the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. There are no judgements or estimates which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
