Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, disability or social circumstances, with the object of improving their conditions of life.

The charity's main activities

Play Bradford – PB provides a range of community-based play related activities across the Bradford district, from its main coordinating hub and flagship adventure playground The Big Swing. The Big Swing is a wellestablished adventure playground, set on the periphery of the Ravenscliffe estate. Our primary focus to provide out of hours play opportunities to children and young people 5- 13 years, across the whole year.

Typical Activities: Low-level adventurous play featuring; den and structure building, loose parts play, outdoor cooking, zip line, American style swing and trampolines. We emulate much of our fixed play arena in the community, providing a play-ranger style offer, using low, no-cost resources and enable them to become outdoor, creative playful arenas. We place play and playwork at the heart of the service, enabling children to claim their own playspace using a facilitative approach.

Through the various strands of playwork, it is our belief that the medium of adventurous play responds to the child’s instinct to experience risk in their play, whilst facilitating opportunities to do so in compliance with health and safety and risk management policy.

Our service remains free at the point of delivery, operating within some of Bradford district most disadvantaged and culturally challenged areas of the city.

Our key ambition as a service is to normalise play, improve the lives of children and young people through the provision of adventurous play as a district-wide offer.

We are a high impact service, we currently have over 5000 individual children registered and an average throughput of nearly 10,000.

Public benefit statement

School work – Play Bradford continue to develop its work in schools model, providing outdoor play opportunities for during and after the school day. This is an area we are hoping to increase as school recognize the need for more children to play freely as away to combat the rising mental health issues children are facing.

The demand for our Mobile Adventurous Programme – MAP continues to gain traction. Embracing new partners and widening doorstep play opportunities to some of the district’s most disadvantaged wards.

The charity continues to embrace a varied funding stream to help continue the valuable work across our communities. We do however recognize that the landscape for generating income is more difficult, we seek to consider alternate ways to secure finance for the future sustainability of the charity.

Challenges

The ending of commissions; JU:MP will have an impact on income for the forthcoming year. This has been a 4 year relationship and helped to ensure MAP is visible across our communities. Some of this work has been commissioned via the community health partnership and schools, however the charity recognizes the necessity to grow this area of work.

The National Lottery Community Fund, agreed to support the Play Partnership for a further 2 years, 24/25 will bring the end of our 5-year investment to embed play at a community level. This will be our embed and sustain phase, working with our community partners to maintain community play for Bradford’s diverse communities, using our ‘Play Hub’ model. Critical focus will be to support confidence and capacity building at a local level, encouraging more parents to be advocates for play.

Play Bradford

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 March 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

Early 2025 will see our inaugural ‘playing for life’ conference, this aims to showcase and celebrate achievements to date. BCPP partners are seeking ongoing funding to continue to embed play for the wider city, linking the play agenda as a cross cutting theme to health, Bradford City of Culture 2025 and Child Friendly City.

The annual increase in attendance at the Big Swing, continues to puts challenges on resources, however, we continue to seek new strands of unrestricted funding to help us to achieve an ongoing maintenance budget.

Since the charity rebranded in 2020 we have secured additional resilience money, which will help us to refocus and implement new strategic thinking. Give Bradford / Leeds Community Fund have provided us with unrestricted resources to help us consider wider issues which may affect the charity and consolidate thinking, securing our vision for the future.

The main office block has presented some problems this year, as part of our vision, we will look to consider new ways to provide a more holistic / unique play service, which will include renovation of the office space. The charity has connected with a local Architect to help us consider options for the building, to include internal creative art space and opportunities for co-working. The Trustees are aware that generating unrestricted funding in an unsettled funding climate, is the best way to secure future ambitions.

We are very grateful to NatWest Bank to be named the charity of the year. The funding will help us design new structure/activity ideas with the children, providing the necessary resources to enable child-led workshops to help further shape their play space.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £17,642, including net income of £3,365 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £21,007 on restricted funds after transfers.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 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 10/12/2024
