PYCA's public benefit activities include:

Our services are open to all, with particular focus on those facing barriers, elderly people at risk of isolation, women from disadvantaged backgrounds, and young people seeking positive pathways. All activities are provided free or at minimal cost to ensure accessibility. 

The board of trustees regularly reviews our activities against the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance and is satisfied that our work provides identifiable benefit to the public, particularly to disadvantaged groups. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**

## **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:** 

Through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, we deliver English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) training to help individuals improve their English skills for both work and everyday life. We are delivering this project in partnership with Leicester Adult Education College. The programme is now scheduled to conclude in March 2026. 

Our ESOL courses enable learners to: 

- Develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. 

- Learn in a lively, multicultural environment. 

- Socialise with other adult learners. 

- Build confidence in day-to-day life. 

- Progress towards employment. 

In addition to Positive Communities 2 and ESOL, we have successfully delivered several other programmes this year: 

- Multiply Programme - Delivery of Multiply and Functional Skills Maths courses, contracted by Leicester Adult Education College and funded by the Department for Education (DfE).

To deliver accredited qualifications, the charity is a registered centre with Oxford Cambridge RSA (OCR), National Open College Network (NOCN), Highfield Qualifications and Future Awards & Qualifications. 

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.

## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **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. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

As a project-based organisation, its income depends on successful grant applications and the number of projects running during the financial year. 

The main funding sources are: 

- Positive Communities 2 Programme (UK Shared Prosperity Fund) 

- UK Shared Prosperity Fund - Capital Grant 

- VCSE Energy Efficiency Programme - Capital Grant 

- Everyday English (ESOL) (UK Shared Prosperity Fund) 

- Racial Equity Programme (Lloyds Bank Foundation) 

- Multiply - sub contracted by LAEC,  funded by DfE 

- LIVITY Programme - subcontracted by ACCL 

- PYCA's Community Learning Programme 

The charity continues to seek additional funding to keep on offering its much-needed support to the local community. 

## **Investment policy** 

The board have kept reserve funds in interest bearing bank accounts. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Board of Directors have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. 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.

Unrestricted funds consist of all other income that has not been restricted. They are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of The Association. 

Transfers are made between funds where there is a release of restricted funds to unrestricted funds or charges are made between funds. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
