Neighbourhood Action runs a wide range of activities and services, which include the following:

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

telephone support, home visits and referrals, signposting, volunteering, a Memory Loss Support group, a Befriending service, various exercise classes, a weekly online Zoom quiz, 6-week courses, minibus outings and coach trips, pub lunches, events, a quarterly newsletter, Digital Inclusion work and partnership working with many of the voluntary, community and statutory organisations who provide services for older people in this area. Membership to Neighbourhood Action is free and each member (or household) receives the quarterly newsletter. There is an option to pay a voluntary subscription fee, which entitles the member to reductions on regular groups and outings.

Charity commission requires the trustees of a charity to:

The Trustees are responsible for the keeping of proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the association and hence to take reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Section D Achievements and performance

The areas covered by Neighbourhood Action are part urban, which includes a nationally recognised Super Output (deprived) area, and many rural and wide-spread locations with a mixture of social and private housing. 10% of our members live in the Super Output Area.

There are 487 older people on our database at the end of March 2025, of which a third are active members and regular attendees of our activities. We also provide direct and indirect support to their families, Carers and friends.

Our main achievements this year were to continue our groups and services with our usual high standard despite the challenging economic circumstances faced by our members and the organisation itself on a daily basis. We have also managed to set up 2 new groups, which proved to be extremely successful.

sessions to resolve. The main work revolves around filling in online applications with the member(s), as many have not got adequate or any access to the internet, as well as being worried about going digital in the first place.

We received funding to buy a tablet, with which we can help people access the internet at home.

Each new and existing Member Referral requires one or more home visits to assess their needs and suitability for our activities and subsequent work is done trying to find appropriate services, be that via Neighbourhood Action or through other agencies; ensuring the physical and mental wellbeing of the older person is our main priority.

Throughout the year the volume of work may shift into different areas and directions but never dissipates, meaning that the workload covered by the small staff team, who are all part-time, totalling 67 hours per week, is continuously high.

Our Volunteers continue to play a major part in our organisation; without them we would not be able to regularly and continually provide the activities that we do. We have a core of very dedicated volunteers with many others giving their time on an ad hoc basis and all of them are DBS checked. In total they gave around 1030 hours last year. We recruited 3 new volunteers and 4 left, bringing the number of volunteers to 26 at the end of the year 2024/25. In June 2024 we organised a social afternoon for all our volunteers- 10 attended.

Our partnership working is going from strength to strength; in 2024/25 we have successfully maintained existing bonds and established new ones to make the service for older people in this area more cohesive and accessible. Partners include: all West Leeds Neighbourhood Network Schemes, in particular Armley Helping Hands; 24th South West Leeds Scout Group, Lower Wortley Community Centre, Farnley Community Centre; New Farnley Community Centre; The West Leeds Walking Group; Voluntary Action-Leeds; Leeds Older People’s Forum, Connect Housing Hawthorn Mill Supported Housing Complex; St.John’s the Evangelist Church; Out Together (LGBT Support Group), OPAL,100% Digital Leeds; HOPS; Lancasterian Schoolroom, Farnley Academy, Photography with Stephen Cole, Leeds University, The Hanover Public House, Janet from ‘Rhodes Ahead’ minibus hire, Dementia Action Alliance.

We still work closely with GP’s practices from Wortley Beck Medical Centre (Hawthorn and Whitehall), Thornton and Beechfield; Health practitioners, LINK Workers and Social Prescribers from Armley Moor Medical Centre. We have established a particularly successful partnership with the local Occupational Therapist at Beechfield Medical Centre.

66 members left the service having either passed away or moved out of the area.

We gained 31 new Members.

There was no Student Placement this year.

The organisation, as a whole, continued to demonstrate our resilience, flexibility and inventiveness, working individually as a Scheme for the older people in our geographical areas, as well as working in partnership with the citywide provision for older people in Leeds even through these uncertain times of continuing financial austerity. Our prices have remained the same to reflect this. We realise that we will eventually have to include the reality of the general economic situation within our fee charging structure as currently and in conjunction to less positive funding application outcomes, these fees no longer cover our costs.

The Trustees and Management Committee are very grateful for the contribution the Staff and Volunteers make on a daily basis and for their ongoing commitment in maintaining a quality service to older people, their families and other members of the community, where relevant.

Funders

We would like to thank all our funders - their contributions allow us to carry on helping older people, including the more vulnerable ones in our communities, to access and receive the support they need. Our main funder continues to be Leeds City Council Adult Social Care. Additionally, in 2024/25 we received or continued with grants and donations from:

The Charles Brotherton Foundation, The Charles Hayward Foundation, the WG Edwards Charitable Foundation, 100% Digital Leeds, LCC Cultural Investment Fund and Wade’s Charity.
