## **NORTH EAST WINDHILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
Dance, exercise and well-being sessions were provided by qualified and experienced individuals, sometimes on a subscription basis.
The Windhill Futures Project (a partnership between NEWCA and the local Anglican Methodist LEP which meets on a regular basis to procure funding for facilities and resources and arrange events and activities for local residents.
## **Advice – Annual Report for Advice Service April 2019 to March 2020**
Helen Roberts, Advice Team Manager reports that the Advice Team dealt with 1,581 clients and had 3,254 enquiries over the financial year and recorded financial gains of £802,019.37 – a huge amount of extra money that is now coming into our local community and economy for benefits that clients would have otherwise not received. We stabilised 32 debt cases and managed £120,382.38 of debt.
Outreach sessions are going well with full uptake of the service in GP surgeries, except for Oak Glen. This service has now ceased. We are working hard to make sure full uptake of appointments is maintained both at base and outreach facilities. We realise that it is not always easy to get an appointment due to high demand, but we are working hard to keep waiting times low and slot in emergencies as and when they arise.
Over this last quarter we have been very mindful that basic financial stability has been difficult for many due to Universal Credit and the difficulties people have as recipients of this particular benefit. It has had a dramatic impact in emergency provision of food and utilities.
Regarding Foodbank Vouchers – clients are provisionally allowed 3 vouchers in 6 months, unless there are extenuating circumstances, where further vouchers may be issued if required. Over this quarter and latterly so, this has meant an increase in individual food vouchers issued, mainly due to the current Covid-19 crisis which has meant people are more likely to require further assistance with this provision.
Windhill Community Centre is a local Hub and provides additional food and hot meals for people if they require them during the crisis.
All of the staff are settling in to a new ‘working from home set up’ and meeting all responsibilities in a timely manner.
## **ADVICE NOTES**
- 1) Bradford North Foodbank opened a new foodbank centre at Christchurch, Windhill (opposite Windhill Community Centre where our Advice Team is based) due to an increase in demand at their Shipley Foodbank, located at Shipley Baptist Church in Shipley Town Centre because 50% of the people attending came from Windhill.
The foodbank means that the people of Windhill will have emergency food support within their own community.
- 2) Baildon’s Methodist and Anglican churches have supported the Advice Team with donations of foodstuffs from their congregations as well as local people who pass on their good fortune or whatever they can afford to help others who are struggling to manage on severely reduced incomes.
- 3) Bradford Council undertook a procurement exercise during 2016 for advice services across the Bradford District and we were successful in securing a sub-contract with Bradford and Airedale Citizens Advice for the next 3 years. The new contract came into operation in January 2017 and has resulted in a different delivery method. Unfortunately, this means that there are fewer advice appointments at its base at Windhill Community Centre but the team is now delivering in some of the local GP surgeries so patients may be able to see one of its Advisors when they visit their GP.

**NORTH EAST WINDHILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
- 4) Bradford Council informed CAB in December 2018 that it was looking to replace the current Advice service with a new delivery model by April 2021. CAB along with other Advice organisations has been in negotiation with Bradford Council in order to determine which venues would be affected by the new changes from April 2021. A reduction of 20% in Advice sessions is proposed from April 2020. In the meantime, NEWCA endeavours to obtain funding to ensure the provision of independent welfare advice for its community.
## **Early Years**
## Samantha Lee, Nursery Manager writes:
Little Ducklings is a one room nursery setting. It is registered for 40 children (20 per session) and is open from 8.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday, term time only. We have an outdoor concrete playground which we recently extended to incorporate the grass and grass hill. This has had a very positive impact on our outdoor experience and extended the children’s learning opportunities. We extended our outdoor area as the majority of our children come to us using the 2 year old funding and many of them are from a deprived background. A percentage of our families live in flats so the children do not always have access to a grass area to play on, with a previous OFSTED report mentioning physical development as an area of focus. (Latest OFSTED rating is GOOD).
Our extended area has a walking/sit in sand and mud pit. This has been really effective for our children with additional need, one of whom has a sensory disorder and another who is not yet walking. We have a wooden play house that is full of cushions and books; we use this as a tool with our children as a calming area.
Little Ducklings is situated in Windhill, Shipley. We are based in the Windhill Community Centre and are in sight of the local Primary school (Christ Church Primary Academy). We are next to a field which we use on a regular basis for physical play and the Daily Mile. We also use the wooded area for our Woodland walk experiences for 3 – 5 year olds every term. We have close links with Owlet Children Centre. They hold groups within our centre. We also have good links with the 3 local schools in our area.
The kitchen within our centre provides a hot, healthy lunch for the children who stay all day (parents can provide a packed lunch if they prefer). There are 9 members of staff.
## **PARTNERS**
We have worked with many partners to encourage investment in Windhill through new initiatives and would like to thank the following:
Bradford Council Community Chest (Shipley Area Committee) Co-op Bradford Council Community Buildings Grant 2017 – 2019 National Lottery Sovereign Health Care Tudor Trust
for having funded various projects during 2019/20.
We continued to work with the Shipley Area Co-ordinator’s Office to resolve local issues and they have held several Neighbourhood Forums at the centre during 2019/20 which gave local people the chance to meet one another and representatives from local organisations especially Bradford Council, Incommunities and West Yorkshire Police to voice local concerns.
We have used these occasions to promote the centre especially as it is now the only one in the Windhill area and the Association is to plan and hold more community outreach events during 2019/20 and more community activities in the evening.

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **Directors**
The directors who served during the period were:-
Gianfranco Sabelli (Chair and Company Secretary) Alan Keeling (Vice Chair and Treasurer) Samantha Davis Faulkner Sabrina Adams Haley Darwent Kimberley Baldwin Roderick Robertson
None of the directors has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
## **Financial Review**
In this financial year the association made a surplus of £74,400 (2020: £1,619) before depreciation. Following the depreciation charge on the leasehold property of £28,076 the association made an overall surplus of £46,324 (2020 deficit of £21,778). The association benefited from local Bradford Council Covid 19 support funding and the governments job retention scheme which enabled the Centre to remain open for the local community and provide necessary financial support for the Advice Project when based off-site.
At 31 March 2021 the Centre’s reserves amounted to £422,099 of which £273,813 is the depreciated leasehold property. There remained reserves of £20,960 held within the Centre’s numerous ‘special’ projects and the Advice project which are committed to be spent in the 2021/22 financial year.
Unrestricted reserves at the year end now amount to £127,326 and provide a foundation for the future financial stability and growth of the Centre.
## **Reserves policy**
The directors’ policy is to build and maintain general reserves of between 3 and 6 months of operating costs.
## **Risk factors**
The directors/management committee have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
## **Plans for the future**
We plan to hold a further series of ‘’Meet the Community’’ sessions and use these occasions to promote the centre especially as it is now the only one in the Windhill area as well as holding more community outreach events and community activities in the evening during 2020/21.
We will continue to provide activities that engage people of all ages and backgrounds in more and regular physical activity to enhance their overall well-being and reduce social isolation.
The Association recognises the role volunteers and those on work placements play in the running of the centre and will continue to work with various organisations to provide them with relevant work experience and the skills necessary for employment.
NEWCA would like to thank Tudor Trust for funding the following posts (January 2020 – January 2023):
Caretaker – this post will allow the individuals more time to deal with maintenance as well as improving the premises and its surroundings.
Volunteer and Work Placement Co-ordinator – this post will allow the individual more time to offer work experience opportunities to volunteers, work placements as well as school and college students throughout the year.
We appreciate the help given by DWP, Incommunities, Bradford College, Shipley College and Leeds Trinity University in arranging these opportunities to date.
We will consider business start-ups to encourage opportunities for self-employment.

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
The services, activities and events that we offer or those we wish to introduce depend on funding and income from room rental and other commercial activities. Each year we build on the efforts and relative success of our funding group and submit bids relevant to the aims of the Association and the upkeep of the centre to support such.
The Association will promote the centre and what it does through various media to improve its business profile and highlight the contribution it makes to the community and the wider public.
We will invite people to join the Board of Trustees with the relevant skills to help with all aspects of running a community centre.
North East Windhill Community Association [NEWCA for short] came about to advance education, relieve poverty, promote and protect good health and promote the inhabitants of the Windhill community without distinction of race, sex, religious or other opinions.
It does this at Windhill Community Centre which is now the only community centre in the Windhill area that offers help, advice and above all, a voice.
NEWCA and those working on its behalf faced many challenges during 2019/20. There will, no doubt be more in 2020/21 and beyond, so it is important that we work together to resolve any issues that affect the community.
The Association will endeavour to increase income, by the greater use of the centre, encouraging groups and organisations to use our facilities, by encouraging private groups for birthday parties, anniversaries or other celebrations and ceremonies at a very reasonable cost, so please consider Windhill Community Centre if you are planning one
In the meantime you are welcome to come along and enjoy what goes on at Windhill Community Centre and elsewhere in the area.
Please visit the centre or get in touch: phone 01274 588831 or email: contact@windhillcommunity.co.uk and we will get back to you.
The Association would like to thank its staff, the volunteers and those on placements who have supported its trustees in the many roles that are necessary to provide its services and events within the centre and elsewhere.
It also appreciates their enthusiasm, commitment and the expertise they bring to the centre on a daily basis and any success that is achieved is down to them.
**At the Time of Writing** The Trustees Annual Report is compiled during 2019/20 and completed sometime after the end of the financial period (31 March 2020).
March 2020 saw Windhill and the world enter the first of many “lockdowns” at national and then local levels. The centre never closed, however, as people stopped coming we began preparing for “lockdown”. NEWCA along with Bradford Council and volunteers distributed 5,000 kindness cards within the Windhill area to notify people what help was available for themselves, their families, neighbours and friends especially those shielding due to having underlying health conditions.
NEWCA created a “bubble” of volunteers in order that Windhill Community Centre became a base for help and support for those in the Windhill area. Those volunteers are busy answering phone calls, distributing food provided by the Cafe, shopping and prescriptions.
The centre is open Monday to Friday at least 3 hours a day (10am – 1pm) and a couple of hours at the weekend (10am – 12noon).
The Advice Team is working from home but on Advisor attends on Tuesday, our Foodbank day. Nursery is closed and the staff on standby in case they are needed at those Nurseries designated for key workers in the Bradford District should their staff go sick with Covid-19.

**NORTH EAST WINDHILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **Statement of Directors Responsibilities**
The directors of North East Windhill Community Association are responsible for preparing the Directors Annual report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts 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 accounts the directors are required to:-
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
- prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and disseminator of accounts may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011. 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.
On behalf of the board of directors:-

**NORTH EAST WINDHILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH EAST WINDHILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 9 to 17.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees who are also the directors of North East Windhill Community Association for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination being a Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
- a. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and reporting by Charities.
- have not been met; or
- b. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
