Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 2nd April 2003. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended by special resolutions on 22 October 2003 and 4 April 2017. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £10.

Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM.

Change of name

On 1 April 2012 Kirkgate Studios and Workshops changed its name to Hive Bradford (working name Hive); the name change was registered at Companies House on 16 March 2012.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The advancement of education for the public by the provision of vocational and other training courses. The provision of facilities for recreation and leisure time activities for people who have need of them by reasons of age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view of improving the conditions in life of such persons.

The charity's main activities

Hive offers adult education classes in various arts and crafts activities. We also provide a range of activities for specific communities and clients both at the workshop and across Bradford District. We offer access to our facilities, creative equipment and support to individuals and volunteers looking to develop their skills and confidence.

Objectives and activities (continued)

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 education and the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation. Hive Bradford works to promote the inclusion of:

Hive supports continuing life-long learning through a programme of creative adult learning, creative outreach courses, arts and health activities and free drop-in access. Hive Bradford also supports local economy and community regeneration through involvement in local visioning events, working in and fostering partnership, creating employment and volunteering opportunities, local procurement where possible and access to workshop facilities.

Achievements and performance

After a year of opening for short periods of time and then going back into lockdown. Hive fully reopened its doors on 17th May 2021 with COVID safety restrictions in place. Initially we opened for pre-booked socially-distanced drop-ins and a mixture of hybrid online and in-person courses.

Simon, who had worked with us for many years as a woodwork tutor, technician and operations coordinator, retired in September 2021 and we would like to thank him for all his hard work at Hive.

Our regular full programme of courses began again in September 2021 with all-time favourites such as ceramics and stained glass filling up quickly as people were keen to get back into doing something creative. A new woodwork tutor, Emily, came on board and started to deliver beginner and intermediate woodwork courses, and classes for home-schooled children.

Our regular supported drop-ins, including chat and craft and drop-in and draw, began again. These sessions are particularly focussed on wellbeing, and slowly throughout the year we have increased the number of referrals from long-established mental health partners as confidence was building in taking part in group activities.

Thrive, our wellbeing project, was extended for an extra year due to the COVID disruption and staff illness, and is now due to run until December 2023. Work on the project this year has included work with Making Space and Empowered Lives, as well as a new partnership with Oasis Academy’s Community Hub delivering wellbeing events and projects. Sessions have been delivered in person and via Zoom allowing for a wider engagement with hard-to-reach communities during the pandemic. Thrive has supported a team of volunteers, recruited through partner organisations, to deliver a successful wellbeing project exploring cultural in arts and crafts.

Flourish, our project working with refugees and asylum seekers, continued to work with Roshni Ghar in Keighley and Shine in West Bowling as well as forming a new partnership with Bradford Refugee Forum. A mixture of indoor, outdoor and Zoom sessions helped to keep groups engaged. We held an exhibition of completed work from November 2021 to March 2022 at Bradford Industrial Museum, and some of this work is going to be kept as part of their permanent display. Flourish groups are also working on ceramic plates for our 40th birthday celebrations.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Several years ago Hive and our upstairs neighbours, the Kirkgate Centre, established the Community Arts Umbrella (CAU) together, an organisation to manage the future of our beloved building. They submitted a Business Plan and application to the council for a Community Asset Transfer of the building, which has been stalled for some time, and more recently put together a bid to Shipley Towns Fund for renovations to both floors as part of a wider investment in Shipley through the Town Investment Plan or TIP.

The bid was successful in its first stage, subject to a more in-depth business case submitted to Government. The business case included proposed designs for the building and a consultation took place with Hive and Kirkgate Centre members between January and April 2022. As this report is being written, the business case is about to be submitted to Government, whilst the Community Asset Transfer has been approved subject to lease terms. Work should begin on renovating the building in spring 2023.

Our Christmas Fair and our AGM was held on 4th December 2021, which was an opportunity to introduce the initial plans for the project to our members, as well as enjoying the usual creative Christmassy fun.

This year we have significantly adapted our ways of working and upgraded our systems to enable better communication both internally and externally, and to allow us to work more flexible from home or in the office. This has had a massive impact on the way we work and will help us when we have to relocate during the building renovations. We are currently looking for a temporary base in the centre of Shipley whilst the renovations are taking place, so that we can continue some of our activities and keep people updated during the process.

In March 2022, as a result of an additional restrictions grant from Bradford Council, Hive were able to employ ten artist support workers to shadow our current tutors in the delivery of our creative classes. Once they have completed this programme we hope to support them further to develop their creative practises and deliver their own classes.

Hive is 40 years old in 2022 and we are planning a celebration day on July 23rd, including showcasing an archive of old photos of Hive (and Kirkgate Studios and Workshop) we have been building to commemorate this occasion.

This has been a challenging year for Hive to re-establish face-to-face services after long periods of full or partial closure and ongoing concerns about COVID-19, particular amongst some of our more vulnerable members. We would like to thank everyone that has supported us during this time and continued to make use of our services. We look forward to a bright future with a rejuvenated building.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £61,404, including net expenditure of £24,344 on restricted funds and net expenditure of £37,060 on unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The management committee of Hive has agreed to maintain reserve funds at sufficient levels in order to allow the smooth operation of the charity’s activities (in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines). Hive aims to hold free reserves (ie. unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) of between 6 and 9 months (currently £105,152 - £157,727). In line with the Charities Commissions SORP 2005 Paragraph 55(a) Hive will include information about our reserves policy and the level of reserves held in its Annual Report.

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £139,826 (2021: £172,557), within the range required by the reserves policy.

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.

I report to the charity on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the 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 Acts.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my exmination. 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:

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 priniciples 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.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

Going concern

At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global COVID-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,200 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives (3 years for computer equipment, 4 years for other equipment).

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 2nd April 2003. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended by special resolutions on 22 October 2003 and 4 April 2017. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £10.

Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM.

Change of name

On 1 April 2012 Kirkgate Studios and Workshops changed its name to Hive Bradford (working name Hive); the name change was registered at Companies House on 16 March 2012.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The advancement of education for the public by the provision of vocational and other training courses. The provision of facilities for recreation and leisure time activities for people who have need of them by reasons of age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view of improving the conditions in life of such persons.

The charity's main activities

Hive offers adult education classes in various arts and crafts activities. We also provide a range of activities for specific communities and clients both at the workshop and across Bradford District. We offer access to our facilities, creative equipment and support to individuals and volunteers looking to develop their skills and confidence.

Objectives and activities (continued)

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 education and the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation. Hive Bradford works to promote the inclusion of:

Hive supports continuing life-long learning through a programme of creative adult learning, creative outreach courses, arts and health activities and free drop-in access. Hive Bradford also supports local economy and community regeneration through involvement in local visioning events, working in and fostering partnership, creating employment and volunteering opportunities, local procurement where possible and access to workshop facilities.

Achievements and performance

After a year of opening for short periods of time and then going back into lockdown. Hive fully reopened its doors on 17th May 2021 with COVID safety restrictions in place. Initially we opened for pre-booked socially-distanced drop-ins and a mixture of hybrid online and in-person courses.

Simon, who had worked with us for many years as a woodwork tutor, technician and operations coordinator, retired in September 2021 and we would like to thank him for all his hard work at Hive.

Our regular full programme of courses began again in September 2021 with all-time favourites such as ceramics and stained glass filling up quickly as people were keen to get back into doing something creative. A new woodwork tutor, Emily, came on board and started to deliver beginner and intermediate woodwork courses, and classes for home-schooled children.

Our regular supported drop-ins, including chat and craft and drop-in and draw, began again. These sessions are particularly focussed on wellbeing, and slowly throughout the year we have increased the number of referrals from long-established mental health partners as confidence was building in taking part in group activities.

Thrive, our wellbeing project, was extended for an extra year due to the COVID disruption and staff illness, and is now due to run until December 2023. Work on the project this year has included work with Making Space and Empowered Lives, as well as a new partnership with Oasis Academy’s Community Hub delivering wellbeing events and projects. Sessions have been delivered in person and via Zoom allowing for a wider engagement with hard-to-reach communities during the pandemic. Thrive has supported a team of volunteers, recruited through partner organisations, to deliver a successful wellbeing project exploring cultural in arts and crafts.

Flourish, our project working with refugees and asylum seekers, continued to work with Roshni Ghar in Keighley and Shine in West Bowling as well as forming a new partnership with Bradford Refugee Forum. A mixture of indoor, outdoor and Zoom sessions helped to keep groups engaged. We held an exhibition of completed work from November 2021 to March 2022 at Bradford Industrial Museum, and some of this work is going to be kept as part of their permanent display. Flourish groups are also working on ceramic plates for our 40th birthday celebrations.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Several years ago Hive and our upstairs neighbours, the Kirkgate Centre, established the Community Arts Umbrella (CAU) together, an organisation to manage the future of our beloved building. They submitted a Business Plan and application to the council for a Community Asset Transfer of the building, which has been stalled for some time, and more recently put together a bid to Shipley Towns Fund for renovations to both floors as part of a wider investment in Shipley through the Town Investment Plan or TIP.

The bid was successful in its first stage, subject to a more in-depth business case submitted to Government. The business case included proposed designs for the building and a consultation took place with Hive and Kirkgate Centre members between January and April 2022. As this report is being written, the business case is about to be submitted to Government, whilst the Community Asset Transfer has been approved subject to lease terms. Work should begin on renovating the building in spring 2023.

Our Christmas Fair and our AGM was held on 4th December 2021, which was an opportunity to introduce the initial plans for the project to our members, as well as enjoying the usual creative Christmassy fun.

This year we have significantly adapted our ways of working and upgraded our systems to enable better communication both internally and externally, and to allow us to work more flexible from home or in the office. This has had a massive impact on the way we work and will help us when we have to relocate during the building renovations. We are currently looking for a temporary base in the centre of Shipley whilst the renovations are taking place, so that we can continue some of our activities and keep people updated during the process.

In March 2022, as a result of an additional restrictions grant from Bradford Council, Hive were able to employ ten artist support workers to shadow our current tutors in the delivery of our creative classes. Once they have completed this programme we hope to support them further to develop their creative practises and deliver their own classes.

Hive is 40 years old in 2022 and we are planning a celebration day on July 23rd, including showcasing an archive of old photos of Hive (and Kirkgate Studios and Workshop) we have been building to commemorate this occasion.

This has been a challenging year for Hive to re-establish face-to-face services after long periods of full or partial closure and ongoing concerns about COVID-19, particular amongst some of our more vulnerable members. We would like to thank everyone that has supported us during this time and continued to make use of our services. We look forward to a bright future with a rejuvenated building.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £61,404, including net expenditure of £24,344 on restricted funds and net expenditure of £37,060 on unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The management committee of Hive has agreed to maintain reserve funds at sufficient levels in order to allow the smooth operation of the charity’s activities (in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines). Hive aims to hold free reserves (ie. unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) of between 6 and 9 months (currently £105,152 - £157,727). In line with the Charities Commissions SORP 2005 Paragraph 55(a) Hive will include information about our reserves policy and the level of reserves held in its Annual Report.

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £139,826 (2021: £172,557), within the range required by the reserves policy.

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.

I report to the charity on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the 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 Acts.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my exmination. 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:

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 priniciples 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.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

Going concern

At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global COVID-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,200 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives (3 years for computer equipment, 4 years for other equipment).

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Hive Bradford

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hive Bradford

I report to the charity on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the 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 Acts.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my exmination. 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 seciont 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 priniciples 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.
