## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **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 Improvements & Access Works** 

At the beginning of the year TACA celebrated the opening of our new Ground Floor Gallery and completion of the disabled access ramp and accessible facilities, bringing increased access to the centre. Through these improvements we have been able to provide early years provision for the area, as well as a range of workshops which take place on ground floor. Increased footfall has been attributed to these improvements as our main gallery is more visible from the courtyard. 

As part of our access works we also reviewed our access audit with Burdus Access reviewing gallery interpretation practices for visitors with neurodiversity or visual impairment. Staff took part in neurodiversity training with Diverse Learners. 

We completed capital improvement works in the basement which included new fire compartmentation, damp proofing, ventilation improvements and chimney works. These works allowed TACA to bring back into use a previously unlettable space. There is now a new tenant in the space. 

## **Activity Programme** 

This year we piloted our first early year’s provision ‘Brontë Babies’ sessions in partnership with The Brontë Parsonage Museum, plans are in place to commission a set of bespoke Brontë-themed baby equipment for use across the two sites. 

In May we launched our Brontë themed garden with hedgehog friendly ‘Prickly Parsonage’ opened by Ruby the Hedgehog on a special report which was on BBC Look North and BBC Radio Leeds. 

Our 3rd Wellbeing Weekend returned featuring 11 creative mindfulness workshops on holistic healthcare, wellbeing practices including dance, music, and mindful painting, yoga, and terrarium building. Attended by 156 people, a particular favourite was ‘BYOVinyl’ which was successful in encouraging men to take part in activities. 

SSC has extended its reach into nearby Allerton, connecting with Café West in bringing high quality projects to communities which are more diverse and have less opportunities for self-expression. ‘Fierce Women’ project for International Women’s Day 2022 saw 30 women/NB people in a photography project with street photographer Ruxx Naqvi. 

SSC undertook a long-term project with Girls Hang Out (Allerton Youth Group 13-19yrs) creating artwork inspired by the Brontë sisters. Project outcomes included a 60-day exhibition of photography and sculpture sat alongside professional artist work touring from The Brontë Parsonage Museum.  300+ Thornton Beckfoot students took part in creating Brontë cyanotype artworks which were displayed around Thornton village in a summer-long artwork trail honouring the Brontë heritage. 

We continued our programme of music, dance and wellbeing projects within dementia care homes, providing respite for family carers, conversation starters and positive interactions for vulnerable groups. Independent living facilities benefited from 9 workshops plus inclusion in our Mindful May & Winter Windows village wide activities.

## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Activity Programme continued** 

Our 4th Winter Windows project saw 52 houses and businesses take part in an interactive creative window trail. Over 600 maps were picked up over the 3 weeks of the village wide exhibition. SSC commissioned a new sustainable recycled light sculpture for the courtyard which will be reused by the village for years to come. 

As the last part of our Heritage programme draws to a close we invited These Men artists in residence to take over the gallery with an interactive exhibition about Yorkshire Stone. 

## **Team Changes** 

This year we welcomed two new trustees Penny Green and Amy Woolger, as Kirsty Young stepped down following a number of years as a trustee. Amy Woolger joins us from NHS Charities Together, in Monitoring and Evaluating the partner charities and their grant outcomes. Amy joined NHS Charities Together during their rapid expansion in 2020 and is a resident of Thornton. Penny Green works for Bradford Theatres, as part of the programme team for St George’s Hall, Bradford. She has previously worked for Bradford Museums and Galleries and Square Chapel Halifax. She brings a wealth of experience from the museums and galleries sector. 

In February 2023, Alice Withers (former Programme Manager) took over as Centre Director. Alice will build on her experience working at the centre since 2016, and has been receiving mentorship and support in her new role through Bradford Producing Hub’s Expanding Horizons Fund, School of Social Entrepreneurs Heritage Trade Up scheme and through support of the trustees and former director Yvonne Carmichael to ensure the running of the centre continues to run smoothly. 

On 1[st] April 2023, we said goodbye to Chair Rosie Freeman following her 6-year tenure. We are advertising for a new Chair to lead the organisation. 

## **Future Development** 

TACA was unsuccessful in it’s bid to become an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation, which would have seen a further 3 years investment from ACE. We continue to be a Bradford Council Regularly Funded Organisation through the Arts & Cultural Investment programme. 

In September 2022, we were approached with the opportunity to purchase the Brontë Birthplace. Current proposals include reopening the café, and renovating the upstairs as short term accommodation attracting tourism from across the UK. Additional events spaces suitable for outreach and partnership working would increase opportunities for education and cultural projects. Investment in this building could bring a new dimension to South Square’s work building on our successful Brontë themed projects, particularly where we have aimed to open a variety of entry points and interpretation for diverse audiences. A feasibility study has just been completed and further fundraising work is to be done for development with our current timeline aiming to have the building open for City of Culture 2025. 

In March 2023, it was announced that we have been successful in gaining funding as part of a large development bid to DCMS by Kala Sangham. The partnership project aims to promote cross-programming and interdisciplinary working across 4 organisations: South Square, Kala Sangam, Keighley Creative and Rockwell Centre. We look forward to beginning the project in February 2024.

## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Financial Review** 

The net expenditure for the year was £7,554, including net income of £21,584 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £29,138 on restricted funds, after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £128,737. 

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 £20,000 as a sinking fund for the building.  As at 31 March 2023 this equates to £100,000. 

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 2023 

## **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.

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** 

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:

- 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)].
