Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

Objectives and activities:

All projects are presented to the Board for discussion and to ensure that they are consistent with the Charities Objectives and the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit. In planning the Trusts activities for the year senior management team work to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit. The work and projects of the Trust are delivered to promote and support clause three of the Trusts Memorandum’s and Articles:

Clause 3, Memorandums and Articles. (December 1999)

(a) The relief of poverty in such ways as may be thought fit.

(b) The relief of unemployment.

(c) The advancement of education, training, or retraining, particularly among unemployed people and providing work experience for the unemployed.

(d) The technical assistance, business advice or consultancy in order to provide training and employment opportunities for unemployed people in cases of financial or other charitable need through help in setting up their own business or to existing businesses.

(e) The creation of training and employment opportunities by the provision of workspace, buildings and/or land for use on favourable terms.

(f) To facilitate the improvement of housing in the public sector or in charitable ownership provided that such power shall not extend to relieving any local authorities or other bodies of statutory duty to provide or improve housing.

(g) The provision of facilities for recreational facilities for the public at large or those who by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social or economic circumstances have need of such facilities.

(h) The provision of childcare.

(i) The promotion of public safety and prevention of crime; and such other means as may from time to time be determined subject to the prior consent of the Charity Commission.

Shorter term objectives are to survive in a hostile funding environment that concentrates our minds to be value for money and applying for small pots of money to tide us through.

Medium term is to consolidate all projects into a holistic programme to bring added value to each individual and project through a root and branch approach to issues.

The trustees review the aims, objectives, and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievements and Performance:

The charity's main activities and its beneficiary base are described below. All its charitable activities focus on public benefit and are undertaken to further FRS102 company charity’s charitable purposes or the public benefit.

All its charitable activities focus on Community Education, Youth Development and Employment Opportunities. All three areas have performed well, against an increased demand. The future of all these projects will be determined by funding, which is not always sufficient or dependable.

All the Trust's projects are measured against funder’s requirements. All outcomes were met for the year 2023/24.

Achievements:

Beneficiaries of our services:

Most of our residents/beneficiaries/clients are from the most deprived areas of our city and are for the most part both financially and in aspirational terms poor. They make up what is usually considered to be the “hard to reach” of our communities. We provide support for many abandoned individuals lacking funds and technical skills to access online learning. We tackle the challenges created for our beneficiaries as a direct result of absence of learning, employment and training

opportunities and social interaction, staying at home in isolation. We nurture a learning environment across all three projects that reassures and keeps safe all our beneficiaries to create equality in opportunities. All of which has become increasingly more difficult during the past year.

It is our aim that all our beneficiaries/residents will be supported all the way through their time with the Trust, support will not only focus on academic, employment or social inclusion recovery but also address personal growth. This will be echoed in the feedback process as everyone’s views, reflections and progression will be recorded as part of the measuring process across all our projects (success/failure) and inform future development of the programme.

Amanda Bickerton Chair

Rationale and performance of the projects:

One of the main strengths of the Trust is its ability to bring social value alive within each of its project and demonstrate the added value alive within each of its projects and demonstrates the added value of its provision, which is often overlooked and not part of any funding criteria.

Within the third sector, i.e. ‘social organisations ’ social and added value are ways to quantify how different interventions affect people’s lives – the overall impact on people’s wellbeing, or their quality of life. It is a way of measuring the positive benefits your work has on both individuals and communities.

Understanding the different ways social and added value can be built into projects is the key to ensuring you can build into your plans a positive and tangible impact on individuals and the communities they are from.

The Trust’s projects all have at their core a commitment to social and added value. They go above and beyond any funding requirements and impact directly on individuals and their communities, they change beneficiaries’ lives, not through a tick box model but by meaningful and sustained interventions throughout a project’s life and very often beyond, supporting areas of tangible, positive change.

Memorable changes over the Year:

In December 2023, Diane Crowcroft the deputy chief officer retired from the Trust after 21 years of service, she was a great asset to the Trust and shared some of our greatest and toughest times. Never avoiding taking the tough calls that we have had to make, she was also a sounding board for me during all this time. She was not just a trusted work colleague but also a great friend and she will be missed greatly, we wish her all the very best in the future and we expect to see a lot of her in the future, (Born in Kettlethorpe Wakefield, but made in Broughton, Salford).

In January 2024 Dave Mayers took up the role of Deputy Chief Officer, he has worked at the Trust for 12 years as the Youth Manager. His understanding of the Trust, his knowledge and skills will bring continuity to the role, and he will be an asset to the position and the organisation. Welcome Dave.

Learning Team and its Provision: Managed by Marie Carroll

The Trust is the largest supplier of non-accredited adult education with Salford City College and is funded through their AEB. The programme is designed and delivered with the aim of re-engaging with adults that have, either no formal qualifications or adults wishing to return to learning, to reenter the world of work or up skill. We engage with over seven hundred learners per year offering a wide range of learning opportunities, such as.

All our courses have bespoke schemes of work, with a course overview. This is our funding requirement, engage with and deliver.

However, we do not simply see learning as an academic offer over a brief period of time but see it as a life changer. Learning is a way of life and life is a way of learning. Beneficiaries are encouraged to take part in the development/planning of community learning provision. They are supported throughout the journey.

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

The social value that we bring to the AEB is far reaching, we empower individuals, improve their social and economic life individually and within families. This is achieved by creating a support mechanism developed to enhance and go beyond the funding criteria focussed on the individual. This is achieved by a supplementary offer not funded which include:

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

Interventions, identifying potential barriers to progression, befriending, mentoring, referring/signposting to other support organisations, utilising our strong network of trusted partners such as health and wellbeing services, domestic violence support, housing, financial and employment support, being an advocate.

Youth and 18/24 Provision: Managed by Dave Mayers.

The “Future You” project is aimed at 18–24-year-olds and contractually covers the city of Salford although we have engaged and recruited young people from across Greater Manchester adding further value to the programme.

On this programme we have mentored 149 NEET young people set against our contractual target of 134 . Of the 149 , 108 have achieved a positive outcome set against our contractual target of sixty which is 180% of our profile.

The social value of this programme is the positive change in people and the local communities by providing training and employment opportunities to young people, many of whom engaged with no other services prior to this programme therefore unable to access support, opportunities, and mentorship.

The added value is that participants become financially independent, a reduction in unemployment in those who were the furthest away from the employment market but are now much closer gaining sector-based qualifications such as CSCS cards which allow them to access construction opportunities which without a CSCS card they would have been unable to do. As a result of our commitment to social value we re-invest a considerable proportion of our surplus from this programme back into the young people to pay for this training.

Many participants had no ID so were unable to claim benefits or even open bank accounts, many had given up trying. We supported all participants to overcome this barrier so were at the very least able to make a claim for universal credit and become more financially stable.

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

Further added value has been covering travel costs to interviews/work, purchasing PPE and other equipment where necessary.

This programme is ending and without further funding will result in three redundancies and an everincreasing number of NEET individuals across GM. This programme is set to end in September 2023, with no further funding yet being announced. In December 2023 further funding was announced which may cover this programme. A proposal has been submitted and we are awaiting confirmation.

Interventions, identifying potential barriers to progression, mentoring, referring/signposting to other support organisations, utilising our strong network of trusted partners, supporting employment and advocacy.

Jobs not Prison: Managed by Graham Cooper.

This project cover two local authority areas, Salford, and Trafford. Its purpose is to engage with forty ex-offenders or people in danger of entering the criminal justice system. Often these clients come from deprived areas and are some of the most disenfranchised and disengaged groups due to distrust of authority. Of the forty clients that we have worked with many have been supported into work.

The social value is the impact on the individuals, their families, and communities they live in. Changing and creating a sea change in their personal lives and their futures. The Trust has many examples of the impact of social value via audio/media and testimonials, quantifying both social value and achievements to date. The value of the ex-offender work far exceeds the investments and therefore creates savings across the criminal justice system reliance on DWP and the taxpayer’s purse.

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

The added value is that these people will become financially independent, and potential, nett contributors, re-offending rates have reduced, and beneficiaries become potential role models within their own communities.

Apart from the engagement we provide a bespoke model that goes above and beyond any other provider offers. This is attested to by our success level that has been sustained over several years. Reports available if required.

We offer intensive support that consists of a 1:1 mentoring model, wherever that is needed, job brokerage, travel costs, equipment supplies, e.g. boots PPE, etc. Irrespective of our contract we go beyond its remit and challenge barriers to ensure that this cohort achieve their goals.

Stats for Trafford:

Testimonials and beneficiary quotes:

JnP

“ Trafford Integrated Offender Management Unit and Jobs not prison have been working together for 18 months and continue to do so giving offenders the opportunity to help change their lives and to reduce offending in the community.

Trafford IOMU have referred a number of people into Jobs not prison who have been huge successes for Trafford IOMU and the Trafford division.

Having worked on the Trafford division for 20 years I have dealt with many offenders across the division and have seen them grow up and make their own life choices. Working in the IOMU allows me to help some of these offenders who have spent time in custody and are wanting to make different life choices. Over the years I have

10

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

known a male who was a prolific offender on the Trafford division causing harm to the division. Upon his release from prison, we engaged closely with him to establish that he wanted to be given the chance to get into work as he felt he had been let down in the past by employers, the male had a lot to offer in terms of commitment and skills when it came to work and most importantly wanted to stop offending.

We immediately referred the male to Jobs not Prison who got him a job straight away, the male has been working every day since and most importantly there has been no re offending from the male which has caused less of a demand on the Trafford division.

The above example is just one of many that we have referred to Graham.

When referring someone into Jobs not Prison it isn’t all about that person staying in the same employment which they have offered. It is also about helping that person mature and be shown life skills and independence. Graham is fully committed into helping our referrals with these skills. Over the years whilst working on the Trafford division I had regular dealings with a then young boy who was in and out of young offenders’ institutes and later spent some time in prison. On his release from prison, he was referred to Trafford IOMU. On immediately speaking to him he informed me that he wanted to work and earn his own money to enable to buy his own items and eventually be able to rent a flat all by himself.

Knowing how dedicated and patient Graham is I felt that Jobs not Prison would help the male with life skills. I again referred the male to Jobs not Prison where Graham took him under his wing who helped him into work and the routine of life. The male has now taken it upon himself and had the confidence to apply for his own jobs where he has been successful and has even been able to make his way to his place of work daily with excellent time keeping. The male remains under Trafford IOM and continues to engage with myself resulting in there being no reoffending from the male and again causing less of a demand for the Trafford division.

I feel like this good news should be shared therefore I have recently informed our divisional Superintendent who is keen to reduce demand on the division to which the good work carried out will be forwarded to the good work panel with the Superintendent stating that the recent referrals have been “excellent work and a really good success story”

Nothing is too much trouble for Graham. We look forward to continuing to work with Graham where between us we can help to change the lives of the offenders and to help reduce offending and demand in our communities.”

One of the greatest added value factors from all our programmes is Employment:

Examples of the range of interventions covered in our programmes: Employment interventions, CV writing, Job Club/Job search, helping to fill in benefit and job application forms.

Employment Provision: The employment provision has continued to grow out of a need to support our beneficiaries beyond our projects "learning and youth". As a result, last year, 220 people entered the World of work via the Broughton Trust, through its work club and training programmes and Jobs not Prison. Most employment outcomes came via the CSCS card provision, which is directed and delivered under the youth programme. This provision attracts some funding via ProCure Plus, this funding varies each year based on available funds.

145 CV’s were created for beneficiaries and referrals from DWP.

63 job applications were created for beneficiaries and submitted via The Trust

The Broughton Trust

Management committee’s annual report

for the year ended 31[st] March 2024

As you can see from the Financial Statement Trust income increased on the previous year. However, there is still a lot of uncertainty within the third sector around long term funding and where the third sector sits as a provider arm. This position has been compounded by the pandemic and many uncoordinated and knee jerk reactions to dealing with it in a sustainable coherent manner, via funders. There is still concern as to how the Greater Manchester Combined Authority are going to engage meaningfully with the third sector and fund via it. On a more positive note, the Trust has weathered 2023/24 well and has managed to hold onto its staff and maintain its offers.

Reserves policy: It is the Trust's stated policy to have at least 3 months running costs. This includes any potential redundancy payments (circa £50K) . The un-restricted reserves as at 31st March 2024 are £129,368 of this amount fixed assets are £55,306.

Like many small/medium charities the Trust finds grant funding a cyclical challenge. The next year will be more challenging. We believe as a board that the management of the Trust, are up to that challenge and will navigate the organisation through another testing year.

Plans for the future : I have no doubt the organisation’s staff will meet the challenges that face the Trust over the next year and beyond, with the can-do attitude which is their culture. The Trust has seen again an increase in demand for its services and met them. The uncertainty around long term funding is still a major concern. If the Trust is to get back into a growth position, then it must attract either new funding streams, look to increasing its offer in other areas of delivery and find funding to develop a business arm to create income to cover the reductions in funding that we have experienced.

Options being reviewed are, joining the Greater Manchester Combined Authorities AEB framework, looking to be Ofsted registered and moving into directly commissioned work with some of the larger contract holders.

Attracting corporate donors or sponsors to alleviate the core costs of the Trust which are not funded but necessary for the running of the organisation, building and projects.

Overview: The Trust has performed well this year given that there are still issues around confidence and engagement in communities. I believe the organisation has given excellent value for money to all its funders and service users. As you review the projects and what has been achieved/delivered it is apparent that the main assets of the Trust are its name, as an honest broker and the Staff that have created it. Their Commitment, Professionalism, Skills, and Knowledge have maintained the organisation and culture that is synonymous with quality, support, empathy, and commitment to deliver, in an atmosphere of uncertainty. This attitude to engage and move people on is manifest throughout all the projects and has maintained the Trusts position as a forward-facing organisation that leads through results in all its areas of expertise.

Risk management: If there are any issues/Governance issues, these are discussed within the project managers meetings (Monthly). The governance of the organisation is the responsibility of the Trustee's they receive an update of the projects and the finance projections at each Board meeting (quarterly) via the Deputy Chief Officer. In the event of any issues around governance a group of four members from the Board of Trustees is convened set against their skills set on a Skills Audit Matrix. If there are any changes to the employment Law or changes in requirements from Companies House or the Charity Commission, they are circulated to the board and discussed at the meetings.

Apart from the full board the Trust also has a Finance and Strategy and a Staffing Subgroup both of which meet prior to the board meeting and their minutes are circulated for discussion at the board meeting. All Trustees on joining the board are given a Trustee's Handbook which explains the structure of the Trust and roles and responsibilities therein. The Trust works on a financial year and our accounts, major risks to the organisation are considered at each Board meeting. The Trustees/Directors are presented with an up-to-date balance sheet, updated on the projects and what bids we are submitting. It is not easy to manage risk in an organisation that exists on funding streams which are under ever increasing pressure. We believe that the processes and how we communicate across the organisation is sufficient to mitigate against major risks and prevent financial collapse.

Risk Management Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others: We hold no monies on behalf of other organisations.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees: The trustees (who are also directors of The Broughton Trust for the purposes 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 which 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:

Independent examiner’s report

to the trustees of

The Broughton Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 which are set out on pages 25 to 50.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity 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 company’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 the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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 that in any material respect:

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.

The Broughton Trust

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The Broughton Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern as at 31st March 2024.

There is a concerted effort from the Trust board by creating a funding Strategy group for them to engage with the senior management team to develop a strategy around securing core funding which for most charities is a major problem. This will be centred on corporate sponsorship and donations.

The Trust as with many charitable organisations faced potential financial hardship over many years, However, like in the past we believe that coupled to our existing funding streams the Trust will not be in danger of not surviving this financial year. As a board we feel confident that the management team of the Trust are up for the challenge as is the board of Trustees

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e 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 Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

h Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 7.

i Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Refurbishment 4% Office fixtures and equipment 25% Computer equipment 33%

k Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

l Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

m Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

30

The Broughton Trust

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)

n 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.

o Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is unrestricted except that it should not exceed the monthly salary. There were 1,781 outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 7.

Another money purchase plan is managed by Clerical Medical Plc (now part of Scottish Widows) and the plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan a pension fund which is then converted into a pension upon the employee’s normal retirement year age when eligible for a state pension. The total expense ratio of the plan is 0.5% and this is deducted from the investment fund annually. The trust has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions. There were no contributions outstanding at the year-end.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
