Trustees Annual Report & Financial Statements Chair's Overview
income generation. Our trustees remain fully committed to ensuring that our servicce meet the needs of our community.
Alongside income generation, ADAB also strives to secure grants from a wide range of Trusts and Foundations.
Our key aim is to ensure that essential community services—particularly Information, Advice and Guidance—remain accessible, as these services are critical for both newly arrived and established BAME communities in Bury.
**ADAB** is a key organisation in Bury, both in terms of service delivery and its support and care for BME communities.
Since 1997, we have been supporting and delivering specialist services for Bury’s diverse communities. We are particularly proud of our mental health support services for minority communities which has been a tremendous success in terms of the number of clients we whose life’s we have transformed.
Our mental health and emotional wellbeing service helps to reduce pressure on the NHS by delivering high-quality, clinically led mental health services in Bury. In addition, our work supports BAME women by offering vital social and practical support, empowering them to become independent and manage their own affairs effectively.
ADAB does not receive any core funding grant we have enhanced our sustainability through
**ADAB** has continuously improving the Mosses Centre as a community resource. This now operates as an independent organisation without any financial support from Bury Council. The Centre is now a vital focal point for local community development in Bury.
We are deeply indebted to the Executive Board and our dedicated volunteers, whose commitment and dedication are key to ensuring **ADAB’s** continued prosperity.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication. They have shown continued enthusiasm and a strong commitment to making a positive impact for the Bury community.
Finally, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all our funders—especially Lloyds Foundation, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), and the Pilgrims Trust—whose support has made our work possible.

Trustees Annual Report & Financial Statements Chief Executive's Report
Despite all these challenges ADAB has excelled in every aspect of our work. We not only achieved our outcomes, we have exceeded them in every way. Our doors are always open, we offer a sympathetic ear and a welcoming smile, a culturally sensitive approach and empathy providing all the help we can.
ADAB has been inspirational in its service delivery ensuring support for the community. has been instrumental in building strong technical expertise, business acumen, and people-centred skills such as empathy and creativity. This enables a deep understanding of the challenges we must overcome in order to effectively help and support our local communities.
ADAB’s core funding from the National Lottery ended in February 2023. While the Lloyds Bank Foundation is currently providing some core funding, a significant funding gap remains, which must be addressed through income generation.
We undoubtedly face financial and social challenges ahead; however, our bold business planning and development strategy is focused on turning our vision into reality. ADAB is currently developing a new five-year Business Plan in consultation with our service users, trustees, staff, volunteers, and the wider local community.
Our assistance is designed to enable the most vulnerable and needy in our community to access the support and resources they need. The ADAB Mosses Centre is a hub of community activity with over 200 people using the Centre or one its services/activities every week.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders, funders, and partners whose support enables ADAB to carry out its work such as Bury Council, Reaching Communities Fund and more recently, The Pilgrim Trust with whom we have just started a new service.
I want to thank my staff team for their dedication and commitment that has enabled all our successes to date. It would be remiss of me not to mention our training partners; Bury Adult Learning and WEA enabling ESOL and Basic skills learning.
ADAB is committed to delivering positive social impact at a time, when it’s needed the most and I look forward to another year of success in serving our communities

## Information Advice & Guidance ADAB Work & Achievements
**ADAB** empowers our local community, particularly those facing language and cultural barriers to enahnce their quality of life. Our free Information, Advice and Guidance services—including signposting to local resources—are the most sought-after aspect of our work, enabling individuals to access support they might otherwise be unable to reach.
In this reporting year over 2,400 people from Black, Minority Ethnic (BME) communities benefited from our services last year. These interactions, often lasting up to an hour, directly address pressing challenges such as debt, housing and council tax issues, benefits applications, utility bills, school matters, immigration, travel, and health-related concerns.
Service users gain practical solutions and confidence to navigate complex systems independently. Many also receive assistance in reading and responding to official correspondence or making telephone calls, overcoming language barriers and ensuring their voices are heard.
The tangible outcomes of our work include improved financial stability, better access to essential services, increased confidence, and stronger connections within the community—demonstrating the vital role **ADAB** plays in reducing inequality and enabling individuals to thrive.

## Trustees Annual Report & Financial Statements Health & Wellbeing ADAB Work & Achievements
Our health and wellbeing programme has grown significantly in response to the rising need around mental health and existing health inequalities in minority communities.
Mental health stigma remains a major barrier in these communities, and **ADAB** addresses this through culturally sensitive services delivered in local community languages. Our bespoke support offers 1-2-1 support to clients with moderate mental health challenges, from minor emotional well being up and to an including Severe Mental Illness. This also includes anxiety, self-harm, and depression. All our counsellors fully qualified and support staff meet the appropriate clinical requirements.
In addition, we are tackling growing concerns such as dementia, as well as long-term conditions prevalent in our communities, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and hypertension. Our work also extends to supporting those affected by domestic abuse, social exclusion, or language barriers. Over the past year, more than 1,100 people—predominantly women—have received support from
## **ADAB** .
We recognise that social factors can contribute significantly to mental health challenges, including domestic abuse, poverty, sexual issues, and complex caring responsibilities. These factors are often intensified for our communities due to systemic inequalities and services that are not culturally appropriate. Many of our clients have also faced additional challenges such as racism, gender bias, and disability.

## Trustees Annual Report & Financial Statements Sports & Leisure ADAB Work & Achievement
ADAB's sport and leisure projects need to be sustainable in the future to broaden their impact on improving community health. The focus is on utilisation of leisure facilities in Bury being of high quality, accessible, affordable and sustainable in the future for the BAME community. ADAB needs to encourage the communities to increase their participation levels especially amongst target groups such as BAME young people as well as the ageing population, which in turn will improve the health and wellbeing of our residents.
Due to budgetary constraints, ADAB needs to identify and prioritise the areas of investment and its longer-term objectives that will drive the expected outcomes. ADAB have five key outcomes planned that we want to achieve.
- Physical Wellbeing - Reduce the percentage of BAME people that are physically inactive;
- Mental Wellbeing - Improve subjective wellbeing of participants;
- Individual development – Increase levels of perceived self-motivation to change
- behaviour and confidence;
- Social and community development - Increase levels of social trust in communities;
- Economic Development – Value of sport to the Bury economy.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Asian Development Association of Bury**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 6-15.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of charity law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ( the 2011 Act ) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is preparing accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
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:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission 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 below. This report is made solely to the charity's board of trustees, as a body, in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

## **______________________________________________________________________**
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, other than listed below, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
(a)to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act 2011; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 2011 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **6. Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **5.1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The Board of Trustees (Management Committee) submit their annual report and financial statements for Asian Development Association of Bury (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025
**Basis of preparation** : The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005 and applicable UK Accounting Standards.
**Restricted funds** are funds, which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed.
**Unrestricted income funds** comprise those funds, which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
**Incoming resources recognition:** All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donations are recognised when the organisation has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the organisation 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 organisation and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the organisation; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
_(2024-25)_
Page 20
**ASIAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF BURY**
## **______________________________________________________________________**
## **Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
**Resources expended/ Expense recognition** : Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
**Allocation of overhead and support costs** : Overhead and support costs have been allocated first between charitable activity and governance. Overhead, and support costs relating to Charitable Activities have been apportioned based on the value of individual projects.
**Charitable activities** : Costs of charitable activities include those costs which are directly related to the setting up of charitable activities such as tutoring and mentoring costs plus the costs of holding the activities and events.
**Support Costs:** Support costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include rent and rates, premises, and administration and support costs.
**Tangible fixed assets and depreciation:** All assets (or similar class of assets) costing more than £500 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Depreciation is charged on furniture and equipment, which is written off on a 25% reducing- balance basis over their estimated useful life. Similarly, computer and related equipment are written-off on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of three years. Land and Buildings, purchased are held at the cost are not depreciated.
The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the charitable charity, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2005).
_(2024-25)_

**ASIAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF BURY**
## **______________________________________________________________________**
## **Realised gains and losses**
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Pensions**
The organisation currently administers contributions to an auto-enrolment pension scheme on behalf of individuals. The organisation has no liability beyond administering the contributions and paying these to the pension company.
## **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.
## **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.
## **Related party transactions and trustees' expenses and remuneration**
The trustees all give freely their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind.
