Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
While offering much-needed services to the local community, PYCA has successfully furthered community cohesion through its inclusive approach towards members of all cultures and backgrounds.
PYCA is now participating in two additional consortiums to deliver distinct elements of the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). The UKSPF Programme commenced in October 2023 and is scheduled to conclude in March 2026.
Positive Communities 2 Programme:
Following the successful delivery of the Positive Communities 2 Project, funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), where outputs and outcomes exceeded targets across all focus areas, we secured an extension grant for a further two years. The programme is now scheduled to conclude in March 2026.
Programme Overview
The Positive Communities 2 Programme provides a comprehensive range of personalised pre-employment support services to economically inactive communities in Leicester. Its purpose is to:
-
Address barriers preventing individuals from entering or re-entering the labour market.
-
Support participants to become job-ready and explore career options, including career changes.
-
Help individuals build confidence and self-esteem through one-to-one sessions and employability workshops.
-
Facilitate access to further and higher education opportunities, alongside sector-specific qualifications and training.
UKSPF ESOL Provision:

We are delivering this project in partnership with Leicester Adult Education College. The programme is now scheduled to conclude in March 2026.

Develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.

Learn in a lively, multicultural environment.

When necessary, the organisation also offers women-only sessions.
Additionally, following a rigorous reassessment this year, PYCA has successfully retained its MATRIX Quality Standard accreditation for Information, Advice, and Guidance services. This achievement highlights our enduring commitment to excellence in learner support.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME 2024-25
During the year, PYCA secured two significant capital grants totalling £53,394.00, enabling crucial infrastructure improvements to enhance our service delivery and environmental sustainability.
Energy Efficiency Scheme (VCSE Energy Efficiency Scheme - Groundwork UK - £39,688.00)
This major capital investment addressed the building's energy inefficiency through a comprehensive upgrade programme. The project delivered:
-
Installation of double-glazed windows and doors to reduce heat loss
-
Solar panel installation to provide renewable energy
-
LED lighting replacement throughout the premises
-
Roof insulation improvements
These improvements have transformed our building into an environmentally sustainable facility, significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs. The energy savings generated will be reinvested directly into furthering our charitable objectives. This project demonstrates our commitment to environmental responsibility whilst setting a positive example for our community in adopting green energy practices.
IT Suite Upgrade ( UKSPF Digital Community Grant - £13,706.00)
Recognising the critical importance of digital access for our community, we invested in replacing computers that were over 10 years old and no longer fit for purpose.
The new IT equipment has:
-
Enhanced the quality and efficiency of our IT suite and Community Internet Café
-
Enabled us to deliver more Essential Digital Skills and ICT courses to harder-to-reach communities
-
Improved Job Club services for those without home internet access
-
Positioned us to develop commercial training offerings for long-term sustainability
Impact
These capital investments represent a strategic commitment to both environmental sustainability and digital inclusion. They have significantly enhanced our capacity to serve our community, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, whilst improving our operational efficiency and long-term financial sustainability. The improvements ensure PYCA remains equipped with modern, accessible facilities that reflect the professional standards our community deserves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity reported strong financial performance during the year. Total income reached £188,603 compared with £90,108 in the prior year. Growth came mainly from grants and charitable activity income, including new restricted funding streams. Unrestricted income also increased through learning programmes and room hire. This mix improved resilience and reduced reliance on a single source.
Total expenditure was £83,009, up from £72,996. The increase reflects higher delivery costs linked to expanded projects. Charitable activities accounted for the majority of spend, with raising funds costs remaining low at £1,015. This indicates good cost control and a high proportion of resources directed to charitable purposes.
The year ended with net income of £105,594 compared with £17,112 previously. Unrestricted funds increased to £113,015, providing improved flexibility for future operations. Restricted funds rose to £286,643, mainly linked to fixed assets and specific programme funding. The charity closed the year with total funds of £399,658.
The balance sheet remains strong. Cash at bank increased to £103,663 from £41,119. Net current assets rose to £114,582. Creditors due within one year remain modest at £14,321. The charity holds tangible fixed assets of £285,076, primarily property held for charitable use. Overall liquidity and solvency improved during the year.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations
Donations are accounted for in the period of receipt and is analysed between restricted funds and unrestricted funds. Donations received for the general purpose of the charity are included as unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donors are taken to restricted funds.
Grants
Grant income represents amounts received and receivable from various funders. This income may be subject to clawback in the event that in the opinion of funders, grant monies are used for purposes that are not grant aided.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - not provided Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost
Freehold property is not depreciated as the Trustees are of the opinion that the property has very long useful life and the depreciation charge will therefore be immaterial.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
