THE PENDRAGON COMMUNITY TRUST
CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT 2024
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. Introduction
As Chairperson of the Pendragon Community Trust, I am pleased to present our annual statement for 2024. The Trust continues to provide essential services to children and adults with learning disabilities across North Yorkshire. Our Multi-Sensory Centre in Northallerton offers a safe, inclusive space for individuals with additional needs, their families, and carers. Equipped with hoisting and changing facilities, the centre offers a range of sensory experiences and therapeutic activities aimed at enhancing development and well-being.
2. Event Highlights
This year, the 10K Pendragon Run was a major success, with the largest number of entrants since its inception. This reflects the strong support of the local community and their commitment to our cause. We look forward to building on this success in future events.
3. IT Infrastructure Updates
Since becoming Chairperson, much of my focus has been on updating the Trust’s IT infrastructure with the invaluable support of Razorblue, an IT firm based in Catterick Garrison. Razorblue specialises in providing managed IT services, including cloud solutions and cybersecurity. Their guidance has been instrumental in modernising our systems and preparing the Trust for future technological demands.
In 2024, we successfully introduced a SharePoint environment to streamline operations. SharePoint has enabled better collaboration among staff and Trustees, ensuring secure document sharing and improved workflow efficiency. This platform is helping us to enhance our governance processes while supporting staff in their day-to-day roles.
4. Security Enhancements
We have also deployed Mimecast, a leading email security service. Mimecast plays a crucial role in protecting the Trust from cyber threats, including phishing and malware attacks. This has strengthened our communication security and ensured that sensitive information remains protected.
Furthermore, we have created confidential email addresses for all Trustees and staff, and have reviewed our compliance policies, including the use of mobile devices by staff, to maintain the highest standards of security and operational integrity.
5. Financial Review
On the financial front, it is encouraging to see that the Trust continues to maintain financial reserves. However, in the year ahead, we will focus on increasing our fundraising activities to ensure that the running costs of the charity are adequately supported. This includes revenue generated through the centre’s activities. Our aim is to keep the cost of our services as low as realistically possible while providing a high-quality experience for our users. We are deeply grateful to all those who donate and support the Pendragon Community Trust; their contributions are vital to the continuation of our important work.
Kate Ross, who joined us in 2024 as our Accounts and Finance Manager, is performing an important role in helping us manage our budgeting, financial reporting, and forecasting. Her work is supporting the Trust in maintaining sound financial practices as we continue to plan for the future.

CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT 2024 (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
6. Trustee Appointments
We are delighted to welcome Emma Wright and Eleanor Wade as new Trustees this year. Both Emma and Eleanor bring fresh energy and significant experience in promotion and fundraising, which we believe will be instrumental in driving the Trust forward. Their contributions will be key to expanding our fundraising efforts and raising the profile of the Trust as we look to broaden our impact.
7. Board Priorities for 2025
Looking ahead to 2025, one of our priorities will be the appointment of additional Trustees to strengthen our board. This will help ensure we have the capacity and expertise to continue delivering on our mission and managing the ongoing development of the Trust.
8. Staff Contracts
This year, we have also undertaken a thorough review of the employment contracts for all existing staff. These contracts have been updated to reflect the latest legislative requirements, ensuring that our policies and practices are in full compliance with current employment law. This review has helped to ensure that we continue to provide a supportive and fair working environment for all members of our team.
9. Closing Remarks
I would like to extend my thanks to our Centre Manager, Julia Downes, and her dedicated team, whose hard work and professionalism are vital to the success of our day-to-day operations. I would also like to express my gratitude to all our Trustees for their ongoing commitment and strategic guidance.
With the continued support of our community and the dedication of our staff and Trustees, I am confident that we are well-positioned to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you for your continued support.

THE PENDRAGON COMMUNITY TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The Pendragon Community Trust has established a local non-residential facility for people with special needs. The trust has constructed a purpose built sensory centre to provide stimulation to those with profound learning difficulties, which opened in July 2016.
The trustees and staff work together to develop the charity's strategic plan, from which priorities are set and specific work plans devised. Throughout this process the trustees have regard to the charity commission's guidance on public benefit and ensure that all services meet those criteria.
The Pendragon Community Trust aims to provide a quality day service for those with more profound learning disabilities which is focused on a Sensory Centre that provides a stimulating range of therapeutic and developmental activities and support for both adults and children by creating a spiritual, caring, stimulating and inspiring environment in which the beneficiaries and their carers can live rich and fulfilling lives.
Public benefit statement
The Centre has now over 2,000 individuals who have used the facility since it was opened in July 2016. They come from as far as Hartlepool in the North to Wakefield in the South. The ratio between adult and children with special needs who attend the Centre remains at 2:1.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Achievements and performance
Bookings of the Sensory Room and income derived from functions remained similar to the previous year. Donations make up the remainder of income resources, and have increased this year due to more one off donations being received. The Trustees acknowledge the positive effect of the 10K Northallerton run on both incoming resources and publicity for the charity, this is expected to continue going forwards as the event grows in future years.
Financial review
The charity generated income in the year of £127,143 (2023 - £111,818) and incurred expenditure of £176,566 (2023 - £124,908), resulting in net expenditure reported of £49,423 (2023 - £13,090).
As at 31 December 2024 the charity's total funds amounted to £460,206 (2023 - £509,629). Cash reserves were £203,730 as at the year-end (2023 - £228,929).
Reserves policy
The usual policy set by the trustees is for reserves to be maintained equivalent to 6 months of operating expenses, The amount is calculated using the forecast budget expenditure for the financial year ahead. The trustees believe that this would enable the trust to continue its core services and obligations in the event of a sudden loss of funding. Free reserves accumulated in excess of the minimum can be used at the discretion of the trustees for the development of the trust. The policy is reviewed annually.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Financial risk management
The directors have reviewed the major strategic, business and operational risks which the company faces and confirms that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to mitigate those risks. Rigorous control of actual expenditure against budgeted costs are reviewed at each trustees meeting with a view to controlling any overspend.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee without share capital and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law under the company's Articles. The minimum number of trustees is three (2023: 3). Trustees are recruited through a variety of sources and means but mainly due to the extensive contacts and networks of the office of the trustees. A role description has been prepared for those interested in becoming a trustee.

and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
When a potential trustee is identified, the Board of Trustees will then meet with the individual to discuss the role further. The individual will be briefed on the work of the trust, shown relevant foundation paperwork (ie Memorandum of Association) and taken to see the project to learn more. Following this the candidate will be invited to attend part of a trustees' meeting. If the trustees are in agreement, then the candidate will be formally offered the role and asked to consider becoming a trustee. If they accept, they will then be fully appointed at the next trustees' meeting. A process of induction then follows as the individual begins to get involved in the work of the Trust, making us of their unique skills and relevant networks.

THE PENDRAGON COMMUNITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Pendragon Community Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 15 Omega Business Village, Thurston Road, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, DL6 2NL.
Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. 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 charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 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 charity 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.
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. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Grant income is recognised when receivable except when the donor imposes conditions which have yet to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income.
- 8 -
THE PENDRAGON COMMUNITY TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Such income is only deferred when either the donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future periods, or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has an unconditional entitlement.
Where the charity organises an event to be undertaken in a future period, any income relating to that event is carried forward until the period in which the event is undertaken.
Investment income, in the form of investment interest, is recognised when receivable by the charity.
1.5 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.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including Independent Examination/audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line Equipment 20% 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 the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its 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 (if any).
1.8 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.

(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of 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 transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
