STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governlng document Growing To8ether is constituted as a company Ilmited by guarantee governed by Its Memorandum th and Articles of Association dated 26 November 2009. It is re8iStered as charity with The Charity Commission. The Trustees are the only members. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceedin8 £10. Prior to 2018 the or8anisation was called Blackthorn Good Neighbours. Recrultment and appolntment of new trustees Trustees are elected to the committee at the Annual General Meeting. Inductlon and training of new trustees An initial induction is provided as in-house training. Further training opportunities for rnembers are available through local infrastructure organisations. Organ15ational Structure The Board of Trustees. which can have an unlimited number of members, administers the Charity. The Board meets 4-6 times a year. A Manager is appointed by the Trustees to rnanage the day-to- day operations of the Charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Manager has delegated authority Wlthin terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and activity relatin8 to the Charity's objects. Rlsk Management The Trustees are aware of their responsibility to assess and manage the risks that inevitably arise in an undertaking such as ours. A comprehensive risk assessment policy is in force and is under constant review by both the Manager and Trustees. An extensive checklist covering all known health and safety risks has been drawn up and is continually considered and monitored. We are always conscious that if we fail to reach the standards required by our funding bodies they would be compelled to withdraw their support and we should be unable to continue. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objertives and aims The objectives of the Charity are:. To promote the benefit of the residents of the estates of Lings, Lumbertubs, Blackthorn, Goldings and the surrounding area. To support and assist the development of residents living in these neighbourhoods and as resource for the whole community to address some of the Social problems on the estate through volunteering and local action. To establish and maintain the facilities at Brookside Hub, Blackthorn Community Centre and 8GN Nursery and to promote the facilities as a hub for the community.
GROWING TOGETHER NORTHAMPTON LTD DIRECTORS REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH 2024 Page 3 The Main activities of the Charity are:_ Working in partnership with several organisations to offer servlce and support to local people. Providin8 SUPPOrt to existing and established groups and developin8 new community initlatives as identified by residents. Providin8 SUPPOrt to famllies in the area Running a day nursery for 2,3 and 4 year olds- opened in January 2015. PUBUC BENEFIT In setting our objectives and plannin8 our activities, Trustees are mindful to ensure as many people as possible can benefit from our services. We are aware of the many barriers that can prevent members of the community to access services and continually strive to deliver a fully inclusive setting. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE The last year has, as ever, thrown more challenges our way as competition for funding increases and the cost of living rises. Salary increases for our staff afe well-deserved, but put rnore pressure on our limited resources. Our Nursery continues to be an established part of the community with virtually all children coming from the local estates. We are now seein8 lots of siblings and cousins etc from families whose children have previously attended the nursery - this is positive, and it is lovely to have older siblings popping in to see us. The level of need from our children and families continues with, sadly, many safeguarding concerns and an even higher number of children with additional needs - often identified by the Nursery staff. Our staff work hard to ensure that all children have access to the variety of activities and support we offer. We have had all the usual events in the year with Mother5, and Fathers, Day celebrations, our first Christmas nativity play and a full Christmas dinner for all nursery children. These events help to strengthen bonds between parents and the nursery and give the children a broader range of experience. We continue to offer"Forest School" to all nursery children and plan to train another staff member in this in the next year. The Nursery has struggled with staffing as the shortage of qualified early years Staff again makes national news, along with increased demand for places. We have been succe55ful, though, in recruiting new staff throughout the year. Despite all these challenges the staff work tirelessly to ensure that the nursery is 3 vibrant place where children are thriving and learning every day. The senior team now comprises a manager and deputy as Hayley returned from maternity leave on a 4 day basis. This helps to ensure continuity for the long term.
GROWING TOGEfHER NORTHAMPTON LTD DIRECTORS REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Page 4 Community work continues to grow with our year end figures showing that we had 460 individual adults who had attended at least one community event. This is a 39% increase on the previous year. We run groups from 4 venues across the area which broadens the chance of people attending. In the last year we have set up a second Womens Wellbeing group, a new litter pickin8 8roup and are in the process of developing our offer around fitness with training a staff member to become a qualified instructor. The Gardenin8 Group is thriving with new rnembers and enthusiasm to grow more food for the community. The feedback from community users if very positive- asked recently why they came to groups the responses were about helping their mental health, rnaking friends, and providing a safe space for our activities. We are fortunate to have been awarded 3 year funding for this work from the National Lottery Community Fund which has 2 more years to run. In addition we have picked up small grants to sustain the current offer. We also work in partnership with the Emmanuel Group of Churches to run FISH (Food in School Holidays) in every school holiday. We run a community fun event in every school holiday along with one-off events such as a family fun day. Christmas grotto and, in 2023, a very successful trip to Wicksteed park, with discounted wristbands generously give to us from Wicksteed. We continue to promote environmental issues and are currently talkin8 to the local authority about the ongoing maintenance issues around the Billing Brook Lakes. We now run 2 litter picking groups each week. Blackthorn communlty centre The centre is still generating an income for the charity frorn the original building and the new extension. Northamptonshire Childrens Trust have the 'old' side every weekday and we have regular bookings in both sides including 3 churches every Sunday. We are deliverin8 some of our community work from the buildin8 but also hire it out to other voluntary organisations for them to run 8roups in the area. Free2Talk continues to deliver 2 youth groups every week from the space. Blg Local Fundln8 (from The National Lottery) This funding was finally spent out in this financial year and we officially closed the programme in 2023. The funding has made a long-term significant difference to the area and we are 8ratefvl to Local Trust for the support they have given us over the years and the opportunities that the National Programme ha5 given the organisation and individuals. The Charity is a different one to when we started on this programme in 2013 and our growth and learnin8 has been substantially as a result of this programme.
GROWING TOGEThER NORTHAMPTON LTD DIRECTORS REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Page 5 FINANCIAL REVIEW The finances have continued to be well managed by the Finance sub8roup of the Trustee Board, with our finance worker undertaking the day to day work. FUTURE PLANS As this report is being written l am preparing to leave the organlsatlon at the end of May after nearly 12 years in the CEO role. It has been my privilege and pleasure to hold this role, I have learnt so much and hope that the organisation continues to flourish and meet the ever changing challenges that arise. I wish Louise Danielczuk every success in takln8 on the role and know that she will be supported by a highly skilled and motivated staff team led by Hayley and Nicole. I would like to extend my thanks to the Trustees, our staff, the volunteer team, and the manv colleagues and friends in the organisations we work with for their 5UPPOrt and encouragement over the year5.
