## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **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** 

Our 2023/2024 year has been filled with exhibitions, activities, and workshops. Programme highlights included: Artist Lucy Wright took part in a 3-day residency in our local history archive preceding an exhibition of existing works 'Something Invisible and Powerful and Totally Uncontrollable'.  Lucy developed a proposal for a project engaging with the archive and local people with water/well sites, and exploring how water is used in tradition and ritual.  Lucy performed a singular folk dance alongside performances from Walters Green Morris dancers and Helian folk band. 

Our 4[th] Mindful May event took place featuring 11 workshops across the day including yoga, tea blending, sound bath, reflective collage, collective mandala making, felting, gouache workshops, the return of Bring Your Own Vinyl open decks encouraging a wide range of people to take part. 128 people attended the day and afternoon with an increase in families and global majority audiences. 

‘Divergent' exhibition of 'Red Brick Artists' 25 artists showing paint and mixed media artworks through OctNov.  Artist talk and social saw 40 people attend and learn about methods used in gathering and collaborating by this social and professional network. 

‘The Ridings: Bradford Working-class family, Life, Loss & Landscape 1970’s-1990’s’ by Emma ConallyBarklem.  Poet and Spoken word artist Emma Connally-Barklem presented her first visual arts exhibition, inspired by her anthology ‘The Ridings’ which is an enduring reckoning with family, self, and grief following the loss of her parents.  The exhibition was an ordinary but extraordinary portrait of a biracial Bradford family, their working-class heritage, and the traces they leave behind. 

The 5 _[th]_ Year of Thornton Winter Windows took place, featuring over 40 homes and businesses.  Artist Rosie McAndrew designed 3 bespoke windows, at South Square, Thornton Community Centre and The Apothecary Gallery.  Rosie chose the theme ‘Apricity’ the feeling of sunshine on a winters day.  An event to launch the light trail featured the return of our Winter Makers Market, plus live brass bands and mulled wine.  The event was part of BD is LiT, a district wide light festival and funded by Bradford Council. 

Our exhibition programme continues to be supported by the Arts and Cultural Investment Fund from Bradford Council. 

The public workshop programme returned with workshops such as, silk monoprinting, wild landscapes, creative writing, and fused glass enabling an income stream from paid workshops. 

A slow cooker workshop led by the Yorkshire Energy Doctor funded by UKSPF focussed on Cost-of-Living support. 35 attendees came to the workshop and Energy Quiz, aimed at myth busting surrounding tips on how to save energy and various schemes to access to support people with cost-of-living increases.  Following its success a second workshop was arranged in March 2024 following further funding from Combined Funding from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority & UKSPF, administered through Bradford Council.

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

We received funding from National Lottery Community Fund to support our existing Warm and Welcome space delivery, enabling us to offer the community space for free for groups such as knit and natter, art group, baby sessions, collage club and mental health groups.  This funding covers some overheads incurred in operating the space and keeping our public bathrooms accessible.  We are also open daily as a Warm Space for people to use for co-working, or just a space to drop-in and chat.  We received funding from the Community Buildings Grant with Bradford Council. 

## **Developing Governance and Team Changes** 

Following the resignation of Chair Rosie Freeman in April 2023, existing trustees arranged a rolling interim chair role between themselves, whilst recruitment took place to strengthen and bring new skills to the board of trustees. 

Trustees Penny Green and Amy Woolger resigned from the board on 1 November 2023 due to health reasons and Tim Spencer stepped down in March 2024 following a 6 year tenure on the board.  We were delighted to be joined by new trustees, Carole Roberts, Sonam Khan and Jane Hiley. 

**Carole Roberts** is a community support delivery manager for Community First North Yorkshire, a third sector support organisation. **Sonam Khan** is the Head of Programme Management with the Department of Levelling Up at HM Government. **Jane Hiley** is a Creative Projects Manager for Impressions Gallery in Bradford. 

In February 2023, a successful recruitment process saw the organisation bring on two additional trustees, Chris Whitby and Aamta Tul-Waheed, in addition to two co-chairs, Matt Storey and Nicola Murray, who will share the role, beginning on 1 April 2024. 

**Chris Whitby** is Head of Learning at the National Science & Media Museum and has previously held roles with the Science Museum Group in York and Manchester, and as co-chair of the Visitor Studies Group. 

**Aamta Tul-Waheed** is a multi-disciplinary Muslim artist and producer, currently leading the Sufi Music Heritage project with Women Zone.  Aamta brings previous experience with Amal charity researching and advocating for Muslim artists and communities.

**Nicola Murray** (incoming co-chair) is the founder of Sponge Tree and Kynd, organisations which work with children and young people.  Nicola has over 20 years’ experience working in community arts, and previously as a secondary school Art Teacher. 

Training and development for board members is planned for our next financial year to build a cohesive board following new recruitments. 

In August 2023, we hired Nushin Hussain as our new Programme and Gallery Manager, taking on the programming of the exhibitions, workshops and activities.  Nushin joins us from previous roles in Birmingham with Culture Central and IKON gallery. 

## **Cultural Development Fund Project** 

Planning has taken place for a two-year National Lottery Heritage Fund and Department of Culture, Media and Sport funded project led by Kala Sangam.  Beginning 1 April 2024, South Square embarks on a partnership project working with three cultural hubs: South Square, Keighley Creative and Bloomin’ Buds. 

The project will work with community groups, co-creating artistic outcomes which will be showcased as part of City of Culture 2025.  We have successfully recruited an Arts and Heritage Officer to lead on South Square’s portion of the project, Gemma Bailey.  The role is with Kala Sangam and seconded to South Square.  We are looking forward to seeing how the projects develop.

## **Brontë Birthplace Project** 

TACA was successful in receiving a number of funds in 2022/2023 which had contributed to initial feasibility studies on purchasing and developing the Brontë Birthplace as a new cultural venue. 

This year, progress was made on securing the building through the development of a separate Community Benefit Society (Brontë Birthplace Ltd) which is led by the same steering group who had initiated the project. Brontë Birthplace Ltd, took on responsibility for the project from 15 August 2023 and launched a successful Community Shares campaign. 

The campaign raised significant funds secured from Bradford 2025 and the Community Ownership Fund (DCMS) in order to purchase the building. TACA transferred the initial crowdfunded amount of £24,429 following communication with donors, to the Brontë Birthplace Ltd, after handing the project over to the community benefit society.  The building was later purchased and is now in public ownership. 

## **Financial review** 

The net expenditure for the year was £50,122, including net income of £2,888 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £53,010 on restricted funds, after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £123,895. 

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 2024 this equates to £102,200.

## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **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 12/09/2024

## The Thornton & Allerton Community Association Limited 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 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 15. 

## **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** 

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.
