## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Objectives and activities (continued)** 

## **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. 

## **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 works to promote the inclusion of: 

- vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people, young offenders and those at risk of offending, through learning, skills-building, creative opportunities and community projects. 

- disadvantaged adults, particularly providing steps back into employment through volunteering, skillsbuilding and self-confidence. 

- vulnerable and disadvantaged older people, through providing activities, social links and combatting loneliness. 

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 also supports local economy and community regeneration through involvement in local events, working in and fostering partnership, creating employment and volunteering opportunities, local procurement and access to workshop facilities. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the period from 1st April 2024 – 31st April 2025 we continued to hold courses at St Peters Church and run our Pottery provision from Bradford College and woodwork from the Men’s Shed at Northcliffe Park. 

The refurbishment of the building, due to finish in July, was completed in September 2024 with boosted funding to the Old School Building Company from a Bradford 2025 Capital grant. Along with our upstairs neighbours, the Kirkgate Centre, we moved back into the newly refurbished building at the very end of September 2024 with opening events attended by over 250 people including local councillors. 

A large part of the summer and period from September to December was spent moving back from our temporary locations and re-establishing our base at Hive, so we weren't able to run many other activities. However we managed to put on a slightly shorter first term of the 2024-25 academic year with a reduced programme of courses starting later in October. 

In September we also embarked on a new project called Leaf, working with people furthest from employment, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund Awards for All programme and the Morrisons Foundation. Creative sessions in Shipley and Manningham libraries are designed to increase confidence and skills, and encourage wider community participation, through creating a community learning area in the outdoor spaces at both venues. 

We were delighted to secure three years of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund Reaching Communities programme, to run a new Flourish project working with refugees and asylum seekers in the hotels they are placed in when first moving to Bradford, and then within communities when they become more established. This is a partnership project between: 

- Hive 

- CommunityWorks, a charity based in Undercliffe - an area where refugees and asylum seekers are often housed when leaving the hotels 

- Mears Housing Management, who manage the hotels refugees and asylum seekers are accommodated in 

- Bradford Refugee Forum, who provide practical support for refugees including supporting people to familiarise themselves with Bradford. 

The project was developed to provide a safe creative space to discuss and find support for issues raised, and provide continuity of support throughout the asylum-seeking and settling process, and we're looking forward to getting started with it.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

Through the remainder of the year we have continued to settle back into our building, running a full programme of courses and looking at how we can expand our offering with the additional space provided by our new Moorhead Room, named in honour of Moorhead Lane where we were based for the year of building works. We're looking at launching new courses introducing new skills, as well as developing and nurturing new tutors. 

We're also working closely with Kirkgate Community Centre on maximising the benefits of our newly-connected facilities to ensure that we can between us we can offer a wide range of services and support to the community of Shipley and beyond, utilising the respective strengths of the two organisations.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £3,511, including net income of £28,403 on restricted funds and net expenditure of £31,914 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 £81,192 - £121,788). 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 £71,708 (2024: £103,622). This is just below the required range, as this year has seen the charity needing to draw on reserves due to reduced opportunities for income generation caused by our building being closed for a year. Plans are in place to increase income-generating activity new we are back in our refurbished building, so as to be able to build reserves again. 

## **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. 

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees:

## 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 2025, 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.

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **1 Accounting policies**

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.

## **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.
