## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Thornton and Allerton and neighbourhood without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by in particular by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
## **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.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Capital Works**
Throughout the past year South Square has been in the process of transformation and securing its future. The Centre has been made fit for purpose through refurbishment of its roof, brickwork, and windows together with the installation of appropriate insulation, new electrics and improved fire safety measures. It has been made possible by capital funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Bradford Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, Arts Council England, Architectural Heritage Fund, the Swire Charitable Trust and the Sylvia Waddilove Foundation have matched this funding.
With support from our design team, led by Bauman Lyons Architects, we invited tenders for a contractor to undertake the work and were pleased to appoint Ilkley-based Dobsons Construction Ltd. All major external works are now complete and new insulation, electrics, heating installation and fire safety improvements are well underway. All work is due to be finished in June, ready for the official re opening of the building in Summer 2021. Fortunately, the refurbishment has been able to continue throughout the extended lockdown periods of the last financial year. There have been lots of positive feedback from residents who have enjoyed seeing the building being transformed, particularly at a time, when there hasn’t been much else happening!
The improvements to the building don’t end there. We have also been working with Yvonne Deane Associates to fundraise for the installation of secondary glazing on 99 of the sash windows. The consequent space will be much more energy efficient thereby reducing running costs considerably. We are pleased to have already received support for the project from Awards for All and the Coop Foundation. We are hoping to carry out installation before the next winter.
Additionally, Digital Enterprise have enabled us to improve our internet infrastructure and will increase our internet speed by 95%. This will bring the Centre firmly into the 21st Centre and dramatically open up the sorts of opportunities we can offer as well as being attractive to a wider range of possible tenants and users. Consequently, South Square’s sustainability will be further secured, particularly when video conferencing becomes much more prevalent.
## **Outside Areas**
We have hosted a couple of successful volunteer days aimed at making the most of our outside spaces and in particular renovating the rear garden area. Arts Council England, Bradford Council and Bradford VCS have provided funding to support this development. The Project will include a well-lit and covered area that will enable the Centre to make increased use of this lovely amenity. The garden will provide a safe place to welcome people who might feel hesitant participating in community activities following long periods of isolation. We cannot wait to welcome people back to enjoy the Centre’s refurbishment but it is anticipated that an “official “garden opening will coincide with Thornton’s Open Garden weekend in July.

## **Achievements and performance continued**
## **Activities**
Covid-19 has, of course, presented some real challenges in terms of the Centre’s activities. However, we have been quick to adapt much of the heritage, arts and wellbeing programmes. These adaptations have included garden events, in partnership with local care home, Rose Cottage. Activity packs designed for local sheltered accommodation residents have been welcomed. Zoom workshops have enabled local artists to meet, learn from each other and share ideas and experiences despite the restrictions imposed by Lockdown. We worked with 270 secondary school children on a project called “Shaping Thornton” to create designs for future development. Twelve of these were exhibited on a large scale mural attached to the buildings scaffolding. Our Wellbeing Weekend events were adapted into a Mindful May programme of videos, sharing tips on foraging, tai chi, yoga, weaving, gardening and creative writing.
Together with Thornton Community Centre and Sapgate Gardens Association, the Centre has organised its second “Thornton Winter Light” festival. It is so positive to see other local community organisations flourishing and for us to have the opportunity to work together more closely. Over 800 people participated in the Winter Light Festival creating paper lanterns, window displays, light installations and touring the village.
As part of our heritage programme, “Echoes of Thornton”, we delivered Oral History training to a group of volunteers, who in turn interviewed people that had lived at South Square when it comprised twelve workers cottages. Highlights and anecdotes from these oral history interviews were collated by artists Lucy Barker and Lucy Courtney Clegg and developed into a guided walk with a series of short animations that can be viewed on a smart phone show. Maps have been available to pick up from South Square’s Courtyard. Local residents have enjoyed developing extra insight into their familiar territory.
Chair of the Board, Rosie Freeman, researched and created an hour long ‘Queering the Brontës’ radio show which was broadcast on BCB as part of the city wide LGBT+ History programme, in February.
We were able to host some socially distanced workshops in August 2020 for groups of six people. These included Cyanotype printing using archive images with Jenny Wren. Hilary Tan led a Calligraphy session using quotes from the Brontës' work. As part of BMDC’s Pandemic Response Fund 1 activities, we designed a triptych of zines called Thornton by Post collating responses to prompts from local residents as well as little fun Bronte booklets based on each of the sisters. We hosted a Welcome Back exhibition from August to October 2020 showcasing creative work made by local residents during lockdown. Visitors and participants valued returning to the Centre and seeing their work displayed.
Artist, Anji Timlin, hosted the South Square Sketchers group online, enabling participants, some of whom have been shielding, to draw the view from their windows. Sessions focused on collaboration and extending skills and experiences while concentrating on the area’s heritage and natural resources.
Emerging Artist Robyn Nichol hosted two Beginners embroidery workshops featuring old shop signs from the local area.
Anne Crowther worked with Thornton Medical Centre Health Champions to deliver a series of weaving workshops. Anne also developed a collaborative artwork with local families which was displayed as part of the Welcome Back exhibition.

## **Achievements and performance continued**
## **Learning**
As an organisation South Square has learnt a tremendous amount in the lead up to this capital project and throughout the process. It has ensured that others benefit from this insight, at both local and international levels. The Centre Director, Yvonne Carmichael has presented “The South Square Story “ to other groups looking to undertake similar buildings development, as part of “Locality’s Power to Change Community Asset Transfer” programme. Yvonne Carmichael and the Centre’s Programme Manager, Alice Withers were also guest mentors as part of an international artists residency exploring ‘Embedded arts practice in a post pandemic future’ organized by Michelangelo Pistolettos foundation Cittadellarte’s in Biella, Italy.
The Centre has appointed its first Heritage Activities Trainee, Chloe Moreton, who has designed activities inspired by Thornton Antiquarian Society’s archive.
As part of BMDCs Pandemic Response Fund 2 project, she has created activity packs directed at Key Stage 3 pupils, to support their home schooling. They were also delivered, in partnership with Thornton Community Centre, as part of locally organised food parcels. Chloe has also created two popular “Paint by Numbers” kits based on Thornton Viaduct and The Brontë Bell Chapel, these were delivered to local residents in sheltered accommodation and available to collect from the Centre.
## **Tenants and Users**
Our artists’ studios continued to be used through the initial lockdown from April to October, providing a welcome distraction from the pandemic for studio holders and a space for them to continue their practice. It has been a particularly tough year for our bar and cafe tenants who make such an important contribution to the Centre’s footfall. National Lockdown restrictions and Bradford local tier restrictions have meant that, apart from a few opportunities to collect takeaway drinks, the bar has been closed for the year. Plenty at the Square has been open for takeaway coffees, cakes, lunches whenever restrictions have allowed, and they have also developed a new veg box delivery scheme. The cafe has been an important point of contact for local people to say hello, however briefly, to some friendly faces during difficult months. We have been pleased to receive support from Arts Council England and Bradford Council. This has enabled us to offer all tenants support to access Covid grants and provide a five month rent free period for all tenants, between October 2020 and March 2021.
As Thornton Antiquarian Societies archive has also been closed for much of the year, we have worked with the Societies chair and archivists to keep in touch with members sending out regular newsletters and quizzes. To mark International Women’s Day, photos from the archive were curated as part of a light box window display, by volunteer Freya Stansfield.

## **Achievements and performance continued**
## **Press and Publicity**
South Square has received some very positive press including many articles in the Telegraph and Argus as well as a couple of front-page features. Further afield, coverage has also included the Yorkshire Evening Post and the BBC website. Yvonne and Alice have given numerous interviews and joined panels on BBC Radio Leeds and Bradford, BBC Radio 2 and BCB.
As part of the buildings work survey it was discovered that the Centre has three resident bats. As South Square is very near the actual Brontë Birthplace it was decided to name the bats Anne, Emily and Charlotte. Our buildings manager Daniel Butterfield and Trainee Chloe Moreton together created a splendid bat box in the shape of the Brontë Birthplace and it has been successfully installed at the highest point of the building following the advice of Brooks Ecological. This anecdote has proved to be popular with local residents and press and thanks are due to Faye Dawson’s help in spreading the word.
We have also been invited by Bradford 2025 to undertake a “social media takeover “project. This represents another welcome opportunity to be part of the wider conversation about the importance and future of the Arts in the district.
The devastating Covid Pandemic has highlighted the power that culture and inspiration has to enhance our well being and South Square is proud to be at the forefront of the campaign to increase creative opportunities aimed at restoring its local and wider communities. We hope that South Square provides a great example of what can be achieved through community-led regeneration.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £142,874, including net income of £45,895 on unrestricted funds and net income of £96,979 on restricted funds, after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £68,193.
The Board of Trustees has established a policy whereby the charity aims to have unrestricted reserves that would be sufficient to cover six months expenditure, redundancy costs for employed staff and enable the retention of £10,000 as a sinking fund for the building. As at 31 March 2021 this equates to £49,500.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has continued to be impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
## **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.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 18.
## **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 member 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 member of ICAEW 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.
