## Castleford Heritage Trust 

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

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

The advancement of public education in the history of Castleford and the surrounding districts, including the support of local regeneration projects. 

To further or benefit the residents of Castleford and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation, with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Castleford Heritage Trust facilitates and enables community activities, learning and development for the benefit of local people and visitors. We use our heritage and culture as a vehicle for promoting regeneration and to assist and strengthen local communities. Based at Queen’s Mill, the Trust is a recognised established Community Anchor for Castleford and is part of the wider Community Anchors Network to benefit the people of Castleford and wider district. 

## **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 public education. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

A great deal of work has been done this year to help the trust to run more efficiently, including on our financial, IT and governance, and to look to the future with a refreshed business plan. In April 2024 we also conducted a full staff pay review. 

## **Health and Safety, Safeguarding** 

Working with Lighthouse Risk Management, health and safety documents, plus policies and procedures have been uploaded onto the new shared drive which all staff have access to. 

## **Policies and Procedures** 

Through grant funding we were able to commission an HR Consultant to review all our policies and procedures, making sure they are up to date and consistent. These have all then been reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. 

## **Queen’s Mill** 

The Project Manager has provided the trustees with written updates on the Towns Deal project, a steering group is in place to monitor the project in more detail. Strip out works and sandblasting of walls has taken place in the Heart of the Mill and two sections of the building have been reroofed. 

During the year, all tenants have been issued with new leases and a rent review has taken place, with new charges and leases to be implemented from April 2025. 

## **Reaching Communities** 

It has been another busy year for the National Lottery Community Fund project, with a comprehensive programme of workshops and events. Many of our workshops have again been run by our art group volunteers, and we have also worked with external partners to increase our offer, such as Renewi, RSPB and Age UK. Key events have included the Christmas Fair, Boat Festival, and Roman Day. 

Through the Reaching Communities project, we have also been able to support Andy’s Man Club, Talking Newspaper and the new ‘Milling it Over’ writing group.

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

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

## **Help at the Hubs** 

We have developed our Help at the Hubs offer from the Citizens Advice drop-in and supermarket voucher provision to a Wednesday morning Cuppa Club, which pulls all our hub offer into one day a week. As well as Citizens Advice, we have also worked with Healthwatch, Livewell, Age UK, WDH Wellbeing Team, Green Doctor, Ison Harrison (legal aid). 

We have begun collaborating internally with the Reaching Communities project to allow us to pool resources and offer simple crafts and special events such as MacMillan coffee morning, to bring more people in to meet the organisations and access information. 

The relationships with the organisations have also led to us being asked to host a Staff Wellbeing Day for Livewell and Nova, which showcased the Mill and some of our tenant businesses. 

## **Know Your Neighbourhood** 

The Lottery funded Know Your Neighbourhood project came to an end on 31 March, with an exhibition of work produced being hosted in May 2025. All four artists worked with a variety of community groups across the town and both the groups and artists have produced artwork. 

## **CHT 25th Anniversary** 

We have continued to develop our plans for our 25th Anniversary year, including a programme of activities and funding requirements. In March we partnered with the Queen’s Mill Archaeology Group to offer two talks on the heritage of the riverside. 

## **Financial review** 

The net expenditure for the year was £172,504, including net expenditure of £23,129 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £149,375 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity ended they year with net assets of £376. 

This figure takes into account the long term liabilities of £22,098, which relate to a Bounce Back loan repayable over the next 6 years. The unrestricted net current assets or working capital were £22,474. 

The trustees are confident that the long term liabilities will be covered by rental income in the period the liabilities fall due and therefore when considering the reserves of the charity also monitor the net current assets figure. 

The Trustees of CHT will ensure that the unrestricted reserves held as at the year end Balance Sheet date will provide the charity with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. 

The trustees propose to maintain the charity’s unrestricted reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to six months normal annual operational expenditure having regards to its manner of operation  and its contractually secured rental funding streams. 

The trustees review the amount of reserves held at the quarterly balance sheet date that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations on a quarterly basis at their Board meeting.

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

## **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. 

Approved by the board of trustees on 11/11/2025

## Castleford Heritage Trust 

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Castleford Heritage Trust 

I report to the charity trustees 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 16. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's 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 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. 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 section 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 principles 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.
