Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
A) To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the estates of Ravenscliffe and Greengates in Bradford and the neighbourhood thereof (hereinafter called "The Area of Benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions for life for the said inhabitants;
B) To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain and manage the same, whether alone, or in co-operation with any local authority or other person of body in furtherance of these objects;
C) The association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian.
The charity's main activities
RCA continues to deliver a wrap around service for it’s local communities, food parcels/bags, low cost café, activities for children and families, advice and advocacy, employment support, parent and toddler session and support sessions for new mums.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health, education, wellbeing and citizenship.
Achievements and performance
During the financial year Ravenscliffe Community Association continued to thrive, maintaining it’s reserves policy of six months salaries and running costs and successfully applying for funding to provide support and a variety of activities to benefit and improve the lives of our local communities.
Whilst there have been changes in staff RCA has continued it’s support and delivery without any negative impact upon service users and the progress of the organisation. Staff undertook relevant training to enhance provision, for example, a member of staff was given the time to undertake a qualification to deliver baby massage and alongside mandatory training for staff, mental health training was made available to staff, volunteers and service users.
RCA successfully delivered the LEAP project, which was to facilitate small grants to community members who applied to undertake small projects which were art related. Staff supported applicants from the application stage and throughout delivery.
Further funding was secured from the NHS for the delivery of a Maternity Circle for residents both pre and post pregnancy and to extend this provision to a second venue in BD10. This provision has grown, and it is the intention to make the second venue a success also. A challenge for RCA is the completion of a compliance document that all recipients of NHS funding, must complete. This is a very extensive, living document that will take a lot of time and attention.
During the year outreach work was undertaken to engage with the local community to find out what the community needs from us, to continue to support them and improve their day-to-day health and wellbeing and meet the needs of all generations in a holistic way. Our aim was also to ensure that our strategic plan to engage with those with low educational attainment and those not in work or education was still a priority for RCA and the community. Despite having two people recruited to the post of Employment and Education Coordinator, consecutively, and them subsequently resigning RCA did not give up and now has this role covered and the person in post making good progress with this aim/objective.

Partnerships
RCA has continued to build the relationship with Bradford University who now supply a worker to RCA who delivers a homework support club for adults and children and a Lego club for young people. RCA continued to support Bloomin Buds who were based at The Rockwell Centre in Thorpe Edge, BD10. The support was specified in the RCA National Lottery Bid and the aim was to support Bloomin Buds to get the Rockwell Centre up and running as a community centre, ensuring that policies and procedures were in place and secure future funding for it’s sustainability. This work was delivered in the year, but unfortunately Bloomin Buds informed us in February 2025 that they would be vacating the Rockwell Centre at the end of March 2025, the reason given was due to high running costs. RCA had hoped that the support provided would enable them to apply for charitable status and allow them to apply for charitable funds, but this was not taken forward. RCA is now liaising with Bloomin Buds and the National Lottery as to how the objectives set in the partnership Service Level Agreement will be taken forward.
Plans for future periods
RCA will continue to work towards its vision of establishing a ‘Learning Zone’ even if this is delivered without an extension of premises, as the issue of local residents having low education attainment and there being high unemployment continues.
RCA has also continued to address the ever-increasing need for emergency food provision and due to funding, it has been able to provide sufficient food parcels for those in crisis and will continue to do so. Due to partnership working with the Karmand Centre, RCA will continue to accommodate an advice worker, that they provide at The Gateway Centre one day per week, despite having had to be very proactive to keep this provision. The Community Café is now thriving, due to offering low-cost healthy meals, the café will need funding in the near future to maintain this provision. Living Well Funding has enabled RCA to set up a men’s group, which supports both physical and mental health, both face to face and by telephone. There have been health events, where we bring in partner health organisations who give advice and carry out various health checks, these have proved to be very successful.
The Centre Manager gave notice to terminate employment at the beginning of 2025 due to health issues and recruitment to this vacancy has been successful. The new manager took up post in May 2025, there has been a stepped handover, with the new manager taking all responsibility from 1st June 2025.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £7,801, including net income of £26,729 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £18,928 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the association to maintain a level of reserves equal to 3 to 6 months of total running costs plus notice and redundancy costs which we calculate to be between £132,854 to £249,208.
Total funds held by the charity at the year end were £523,188. After excluding restricted funds of £247,800 this leaves unrestricted free reserves of £275,388.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts 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 the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by the board of trustees on 27/10/2025

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ravenscliffe Community
Association
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 18.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('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 charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow 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 fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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.
