Achievements and Perforniance:
Summary of the main achievements during the year=
Nursery:
The Vvhiffield Valley Centre Nursery provides a childcare facility in the local area, the Nursery continues to
improve its facilities and services. In March 2023, the Nursery received a 'requires improvement, rating from an
unexpected Ofsted inspection. The Nursery Managers and team are working tirelessly lo meet the actions and
objectives set by Ofsted for required and necessary improvements to be made. Ofsted will return within the next
twelve months for a reinspection in which the Nursery hopes to reobtain its 'Good' standard rating.
The Nursery has dec,reased its maximum number of places at the setting, which will begin from September 2024,
to enable a calmer environmenl and improve quality of services, rather than quantity. This will enable greater
engagement for each individual child to support engagement and development.
The Nursery is providing activities through Early Year Pupil Premium (EYPP) and Special Education Needs
{SEN) inclusion funding to recruit one-to-one supetvision staff for children that require direct support.
New games and educational play have been introduced, including break out zones that enable more one to one
engagement and observation on progression and development whilst following Early Years practice and
guidelines as an Ofsted Registered Nursery_
The setting has had a revamp., it has been newly painted and seen the introduction of natural coloLrs and
resources, to provide a calming environment. bringing the nature and outdoors, inside. A 'Sensory Area, and
'Calm Area, will also be introduced. Staff have recently started to develop the Nurseries curriculum to provide
age-appropriate learning activities and encourage curiosity.
All staff have recently attended refresher training and specific skill focused workshops in an Early Years setting to
use this specialised knowledge.
We continue to regularly monitor the financial situation of the Nursery and carry out monthly meetings to monitor
progress, staffing and development
Creche:
Crèche received continuation funding from Children in Need (CIN) in March 2022, which has enabled the
continuation of this service for a further three years, providing a Crèche setvice to all ages, which allows
childcare to support and engage families in using additional facilities at the Centre such as the gym, café,
training, charity shop and much more.
The Centre has an outdoor oarden space for the Crèche and Nursery children to use and grow fruit and
vegetables, plant seeds and learn in a safe outdoor environment. The Crèche service remains competitive with
an affordable cost of £1 per hour, which previously contributed to running costs. Regular fundraising for Children
in Need is also carried out and monies are raised annually.
Due to the current financial crisis and fflinimum wage salary increases, the charity has had to use Crèche
unrestricted funds raised lowards the salary costs not covered by the CIN funding. which has had an impact on
the Charity as this no longer supports the running costs of the Centre.
The new Crèche supervisor has made a great start in change, development, and improvement of this childcare
service. Focusing on training development of volunteers who support in the Crèche and providing actniities that
focus on English as a second language, motor skills and social engagement.
Youth Club:
We have been lucky in receiving funding again from Henry Smith which has enabled us to continue our Youth
Service for a further three years. This funding will help to cover staffing, annual residentials, trips, equipment and
resources, sessional workers and contribute towards oncosts.

Supporting them at a transitional age from primary school, getting them high school ready as well as continuing
to provide a youth service for young people aged between 10-19yrs. Additionally, providing a play group for ages
5-1 Oyrs, as it has been identified that there is a lack of provision which targets this specific age bracket. The
unique offering now offers ag&appropriate activities for children and young people aged from 5-19 yrs.

malnutrition, educate in food, cooking, and nutrition for the children and families. This is to help tackle the

We have successfully received funding from Henry Smith COVID-19 Recovery Scheme, which has enabled us
to set up a team of staff to support in major community services. The team offer support to those affected by
COVID-19, and this will benefit the Community in the recovery stages from economic and emotional impact and

CAFAG aims to become more economical and energy efficient as an organisation. Looking at eco-friendly and
energy efficient resources that will reduce long term costs and help the environment, this will be a focus for future
grant applications in the coming years.
Over the last twelve months the charsty has supported on average 8709 Community members through the
services we offer which has increased compared to last year by 999 new community members using The
Vvhitfield Valley Centre. This funding has allowed for CAFAG'S restructured sustainability plan to take effect,
allowing opportunity to continue and provide the necessary services for the local community. We have involved
members when evaluating projects, carrying out a public AGM in November 2023, requesting regular feedback,
online public surveys, and questionnaires. This funding also contributes to the general running costs. ulilities,
training, and consultancy costs.
Café:
Since January 2023, the Café has increased its income significantly. Awards for All, initially covered the
manager's salary, but came to an end in January 2024 and we now continue lo cover the Café manager's salary
through unrestricted funds and café profit. The focus is to develop the Café, restnjcture marketing techniques,
training opportunities for volunteers and improve food quality and standards The café has seen huge growth in
only a short number of months and continues to grow and increase its foolfall. We plan to develop and expand
into catering in 2024-2025 and plans are currently underway. This is the central space of the community centre,
used by the public and all departments. A new menu has been created and costs have increased slightly which
were set at the beginning of 2024 due to the increase in cost of goods, but even with this change, Ihe café is still
at a competitive low-cost affordable rate. The café had a random food quality and hygiene standard inspection
and we maintained our'Five Star, food hygiene ratir¢g
We will further develop the Whitfield Valley Centre as a community hub offering a range of services and activities
aimed at breaking the cycle of social and economic deprivation that currently exists in the area. This includes
expanding upon the range of contracted services, which we currently offer, and making ourselves procurement
ready. We provide volunteers with refresher training for existing members and full training for all new volunteers
to ensure that they all have up to date Food Hygiene qualifications.
The volunteers have shown true dedication and support to the charity and they have been pivotal in allowing our
café to remain open to the public whilst enabling individual confidence levels to flourish within the team.
Gardening:
Our gardening service and gardener is at full capacity in the local and wider community areas and is one our first
self-sustainable enterprise service, generating enough income to cover salary cost, plus making a profit that goes
back into the Charity. Funding by Garfield Weston supported this project up to August 2023 with a team of
volunteers that work on extemal gardening jobs as well as maintaining the Centres gardens and grounds.
We are planning to set up a gardening club for the Centre with access to our men in sheds workshop, to
complete woodwork workshops and for men who enjoy or have an interest in gardening.
The Gardening enterprise supports those members of the community who are unable to look after their gardens
or those at risk of eviction. In partnership with Stoke-on-Trent City Council, we receive referrals for members of
the public who are at risk of eviction, so help them to maintain their gardens and offer advice, tods, and
resources.
During the winter months, the gardener supports the centre by carying out and repairing minor maintenance
issues, helping to lower maintenance outgoing costs, and is a valuable member of the team and well respected
by the community. Gardening services are costed at an affordable price.
Completing a wood workshop for 12 weeks during the winter with community residents. building Cand￿ tea lights
and bird boxes

Charity Shop:
A good case study includes a local resident who used the Crèche service then went on her own journey with us
at CAFAG and became a Charity Shop volunteer initially and after seeing such polential, growth and progression,
she is now the CAFAG Charity Shop Manager who runs a team of volunteers in the shop and is involved in
management and running of the shop. She has now also gone on to become the Making Connections Co-
ordinator who provides frontline work with a team focusing on the health and wellbeing of Fegg Hayes and Stoke
on Trent residents. Through the efforts of the Charity Shop Manager and Operations Manager, this now runs
successfully and generates a monthly income between £400-800 per month. This service contributes to the
charity's financial stability as well as its environmental footprint by upcycling materials and encouraging recycling,
reusing items and as the Centre is based in a deprived area of Stoke on Trent, the Charity shop has become a
lifeline for many families
CAFAG Comrnunity Gym:
The charity decided from a petition signed by over thity members in two days urging that the gym facility at the
Centre remain open. The Charity Manager put measures in place. plans, and new SOf￿are systems in pkce in
an extremely short turn around to allow the conlinuation of the gym facility. Since r&opening and relaunching as
CAFAG Community Gym in September 2023, Ihe gym continues to grow, and this has become a consistent
regular incorne as a non-profit organisation
Gym memberships continue to grow, and we are currently averaging between 10-20 new sign ups per month and
current income is above expected targets and we will continue to monitor over the next 6-12 months.
We continue to look for other funding sources and potential long-temi solutions such as Sport England funding
and relevant sports relating grants for staffing assistance. As this is significantly pulling time from staff and as
Charity Manager, a long-term sustainability plan is required to ensure the success, continuation and growth of the
gym. Furtherrnore, we had applied and was SUC￿ssful in obtaining capital funding frotn Sport England for
purchase of new gym equipment.

Charity information
ChelS Area Family Action Group is a private charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England
and Wales. The registered office is The ￿lIfIeld Valley Centre. Fegg Haye5 Road, Stoke on Trent,
Staffordshire, ST6 6QR.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charitable company's governing
document,
the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement ol
Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102} {effeclive 1 January 2019)" The
Charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102
Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charitable company.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
Charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable ftjture.
Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial
statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The
purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the Charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions
have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Donations, are recognised when they have been communicated and received in wrtting with notification of
both Ihe amounl and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level
of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until
either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the
charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Accounting polTcies
(Continued)
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granling of probate when Ihe administratorl
executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that
the gift is in the fonn of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange,
recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy
and the title to the asset has been transferred to the charity.
1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can
be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance
costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial
activities.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the followng bases..
Freehold land and buildings
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
Motor vehicles
Gym equipment
50 % straight line on improvements
25°/0-33 % per annum of net book value
25 % straight line
25% per annum of net book value
The directors consider that freehold properties are maintained in such a state of repair that thei r residual value
is at least equal to their net book value. As a result, the corresponding depreciation would not be material and
therefore is not charged in the profit or loss account.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is detemiined as the difference between the sale proceeds
and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in Ihe statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of ils tangible 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 lif any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash 3nd 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 borrowings in current liabilities.

operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charitable company's accounting policies, the Trustees 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 (￿lY that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
At the year end there were no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amourlts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
