## OUR CEO'S STATEMENT 

The organisation continues to grow both geographically, in the range of services it offers and in its learning. I am very proud of the hard work of our team, who always put our members first. 

This year, our members have been impacted by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill which criminalises nomadic life, the cost of living crisis, unsuitable living conditions on sites and discrimination. 


Using our values, we continue to support our communities across West Yorkshire to push for change. 

I am so proud of Leeds GATE, the organisation has grown massively and over the last year has seen great things happening. I would like to say a massive thank you to our funders and staff for their continued support and hard work. My thanks also go to all the board members who are also very supportive and involved with the running of Leeds GATE. 

**The last year has demonstrated the strength of our partnerships over time, with allies emerging across our systems to support our work and challenge harmful practices to Gypsies and Travellers.** 

Personally, I spent much of this year on leave as I welcomed my son into our family. I will forever thank Elizabeth, Sharon and Rachel for their hard work while I was off. 

June 2022 saw our heritage day which had a great turnout and saw involvement from many members and funders it was a lovely day. In July we had a staff and board plus family members day trip to Whitby which I attended with members of my family. 

To our staff - you make me proud every day; your work changes lives. 


## CHAIR'S REPORT 

It was very lovely to get together outside of work and meet family members the day was a great success and hopefully can be an annual event. 

Leeds GATE continues to be a very highly regarded organisation and just keeps getting better. 

**Many thanks to everyone involved and here's to a very successful coming year.** 

**ELIZABETH SPAVEN**

## Accommodation 

## Jimmy's Story 

A LEEDS MEMBER 

Leeds GATE provides a range of advocacy support across West Yorkshire to help families secure and sustain accommodation. 

We work strategically to influence the availability and quality of accommodation for our members. This is across stopping places, site accommodation, houses and planning. 

We work with resident groups to improve sites through campaigning, running activities and community clear-ups. 


**“There are not many places like GATE. It's good that people care about us Gypsies and Travellers.** 

**We need GATE because years ago myself and the community had no support, but now we do.”** 

Jimmy lived in a care home during the height of the Covid19 pandemic. He shared that he feels  “Leeds GATE have gone out of their way to support me on many occasions.” 

When allowed, visits and contact with GATE team members Tom and Bernard meant Jimmy could say he wanted to return to his home. **“I felt I might never get out of the care home, but GATE never gave up on me and once I was back at my flat GATE helped set the flat up and make sure I had the support I needed.”** 

Jimmy has some health issues that limit how much he can move around and how often he meets others, especially from his community. Jimmy has attended our Men's Group and has been able to form lasting friendships, listen to music together with other Traveller men and enjoy St. Patricks Day celebrations. He highlights, “These little things help take my mind off things. I am grateful that people care enough to listen and make changes for us.”

## HEALTH 

Leeds GATE provides advocacy support to access to healthcare for Gypsies and Travellers. We support people to live with dignity through navigating health-related benefits, adaptations and adult social care needs. We have a mental health and suicide prevention service which delivers intensive support. 

We deliver community health development work to improve the information, assets and networks members have available to them. We work strategically to improve healthcare access, engaging in co-production and ensuring accessible pathways to support for our members. 


**“I suffer with anxiety and find it hard to mix, I worry a lot as well but now I've got to know you (Leeds GATE advocate) and I know you are about on site, I can just nip over. I don't have to worry as much as you put my mind at ease when it comes to letters and things, plus you’re so easy to talk to.”** A LEEDS MEMBER

## HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENTS 

Good health is fundamental to personal well-being and foundational to a strong community. To ensure we could represent members' health needs across West Yorkshire, we undertook community research with members across Kirklees, Bradford and Wakefield, as well as local councils, to produce health needs assessments - official documents that will help us improve things for Gypsies and Travellers. 

## These health needs 

assessments highlighted how much the community supports each other and survives in often difficult circumstances. Our members also told us that mental health issues - like depression, anxiety, bad nerves and suicide- were increasing, and people worried about loved ones and the wider community. 

Experiences of prejudice and racism were impacting people’s mental and physical health. Health conditions like heart and breathing issues and issues with mobility were also highlighted. Most participants listed the accommodation as an underlying cause of poor health. 

We already see positive results for our membership - with strategy groups forming across Wakefield and Bradford, new partnerships and more Leeds GATE staff time dedicated to providing community groups and advocacy. 

**This work has also helped us get closer to addressing issues around the condition of sites, especially sheds. We still have a long way to go, but we are making progress through campaigning and lobbying.**

## Education, Employment and Financial Inclusion 

Leeds GATE provides advocacy support around access to schools, colleges and further education. We support access to welfare rights and debt advice and assist members with CV’s, job search and self-employment. 

We run an adult learning programme including one-to-one reading and writing lessons, qualifications in functional skills, first aid, health and safety and health awareness. 

We run weekly youth groups and homework clubs across West Yorkshire - we encourage our young people to dream big and support them in groups and individually to reach their goals. 

## WEST YORKSHIRE Education Forum for Gypsies and Travellers 

Access to education and opportunities is a matter of social justice. Gypsies and Travellers have the right to a safe and nurturing learning environment and to go onto college and university if they choose to. 

Sadly, we know from our members and from research that Gypsy and Traveller young people often experience bullying, racism and exclusion and that the numbers that go on to college and university are low. 

We run a forum for educational organisations from primary schools and high schools to colleges and universities. We offer informal opportunities for them to learn more and have also delivered education-focused training. In return, we ask that the schools and colleges take action to improve things for Gypsy and Traveller pupils. 

Our work in Education 

**“I had no idea that Gypsies and Travellers experienced such racism. I learn so much from your staff team.”** 



## ’ RIHANNA S STORY 

## - JOURNEY TO APPLEBY 

I am excited to go to Appleby with my family. We have our horse linked to our wagon while Dad is in control. Right now, we are heading to our next stopping place to settle for the night, then tomorrow we should finally reach Appleby. 

As Dad was driving, I was looking around at the green field that had dashes of yellow flowers along them and the trees with their fresh green leaves. Just then Dad said. “When I was younger my mother and father would tell me what it was like when they used to shift.” I said. “Could you tell us what it was like?”. Dad agreed 

“When they used to shift in groups, they would leave a bundle of grass tied together so the person behind didn’t get lost and knew where to go and when they came to a crossroad, they would get sticks and point them in the direction they were going.” Said dad. 

Then my Mam said, ”when I was younger my farther would get a small twig from a tree and trim the ends of mine and my sisters hair and make his own paintbrush and paint wagons and flat carts.” 

We spent a little while talking and didn’t notice my father had found a camp by the roadside where we could stay for the night. 

When the horse came to a halt we started to unpack and tie the horse down and gave him some water and let him rest for tomorrow. I watched as some cars and trucks drove by as some gazed at amazement and some just glared at the site. 

Just then a car pulled up with police written on the side and two tall men dressed all in black, who didn’t seem too impressed, walked over to my father and brother. They told my father we had to leave and if we stayed, we could be fined, or our belongings confiscated. 

The two men observed as we hurriedly packed away our belongings and got back onto the road to find a new camp before it got late, not long after we found a new camp but this one had trailers on too. 

We pulled in and started to unpack and tie up our horse. My father and brother went to collect some wood for a fire while my mam put the food on the pan. 

The food was cooking and me and my family sat around the fire as the red sparks flew up into the darkening sky. 

Then the owners of one of the trailers came over and we talked about our journeys and where we had come from. 

They had a daughter around the same age as me. We played until we got called to eat, not long after it began to get dark, and we headed to our bed until the sun peeked into the wagon early the next morning. 

I walked outside to see my mam and dad cooking breakfast we then got dressed and brushed our teeth and waved goodbye to our new friends and headed on our way. 

It wasn’t long till we reached the little village of Appleby. My farther saw some of his old friends and cheered they had finally finished their journey.

## Social Inclusion 

We provide advocacy support to report and challenge discrimination and hate crime. Our community centre provides a safe space for our members with a warm hub, access to food, access to water, a shower and a postal address for our roadside members. 

We work through our partners and our community groups to improve services, challenge hate and celebrate Gypsy and Traveller history and culture. 


## 'Understanding the experiences of Gypsy and Traveller people ’ in probation 


The services team worked with Yorkshire and Humber Probation Service to carry out research with **16 community members** to voice their experiences of probation, their aspirations and their solutions. 

The report provided community recommendations to be taken forward from Gypsy and Traveller participants and made to Probation Services. This is the first time research like this has been carried out.

## Financial Statement 

Leeds GATE’s total income in the year to 30th November 2022 increased to £828868. This reflects the organisation’s continued growth in its services and the geographical areas it covers. Expenditure also increased to £687,532, giving net income for the year of £141336. 

Leeds GATE’s reserves increased to £135571 on 30th November 2022, and are expected to increase further during 2022-23. 

Leeds GATE remains in a strong financial position, helped by its good relationships with funders and various funding sources. Still, the organisation is not complacent and will continue to review its finances carefully. A full Statement of Financial Activities is included in GATE’s accounts for 2021/22. 

At 30th November 2022 GATE’s total funds stood at £678001, of which £542430 were restricted (i.e. earmarked for specific projects). 

Expenditure was below income partly because of a backlog of project work following the Covid pandemic, and partly because of difficulties in recruiting staff to some new posts. The surplus is being carried forward to enable catch-up; recruitment plans are also in place to fill vacancies.

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange (Registered number: 06386295) 

for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 

## Report of the Trustees 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, submit their report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2022. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 Jan 2015) as detailed in the accounting policies. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **The charity's objectives** 

To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the Gypsy and Traveller community across West Yorkshire (the area of benefit) by such charitable means as the trustees shall determine including the promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit through activities that foster good community relations, advancement of education, relief of poverty and the preservation and protection of good health. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange will seek to identify and mitigate against risks that may be incurred through the operation of its business. These include: 

Risks to the health and safety of its staff, Trustees, members, volunteers, partners and member of the public. 

Financial risks and business continuity risks for the organisation. 

Reputational risks for the organisation. 

The Trustees regularly conduct their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial Review** 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income for the year of £141,336, and funds at 30th November 2022 stood in total at £678,001, of which £542,430 were restricted. 

2022 has seen Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange return to its normal working arrangements following the global pandemic. Helped by its strong relationships with funders, the organisation has had a very good year and remains in a solid financial position, with income (both restricted and unrestricted) increasing to £828,868. This increased income has enabled Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange to expand the support it provides, both in the range of its services and geographically to further areas of West Yorkshire. The organisation has also been able to increase its reserves to £135,571, helping to safeguard its future sustainability. 

Expenditure in the 12 months to 30th November 2022 increased to £687,532. This is again due to the increased level of project and partnership activities that Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange has been involved with. This growth has been constrained however, partly by the backlog of project work that arose during the pandemic, and partly by difficulties in recruiting staff to fill the new posts created. This has led to expenditure falling significantly below income for the year. Surplus income is being carried forward to enable catch-up, and restructuring and recruitment plans are in place to address these issues. 

Whilst rises in the cost of living and inflation continue to put pressure on its finances, Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange is well placed to meet these due to its strong relationship with funders and its diverse range of funding sources. Prospects for the next 12 months are good, with further funding already secured, but the organisation is not complacent and will continue to keep its finances under careful review.

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange (Registered number: 06386295) 

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ('the free reserves') should be sufficient to sustain the organisation for approximately three months. The free reserves at 30th November 2022, before taking into account long term liabilities, are £135,571. Whilst not yet at the target level, these reserves have increased this year through earned income and efficient contract management. The organisation will continue to find ways to increase these reserves further, and the Trustees will review the reserves policy each year. 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees are confident that the actions of the last few years have meant that the Charity is in a strong position to grow and attract future funding and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Charity constitution** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 18 February 2004. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association incorporated 1 October 2007 as amended by special resolutions dated 19 December 2007. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £10. The company was registered as a charity on 29 March 2008. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the Annual General Meeting. 

At every Annual General Meeting one third of the elected members of the Board of Trustees shall retire from office. · The members to retire shall be those longest in office since their last election. · A retiring member shall be eligible for re-election· Persons co-opted on the Board shall retire at the first Annual General Meeting following their appointment but shall be eligible for further co-option or election.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 November 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 2011 ('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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2022 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Legal status** 

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange was incorporated in the United Kingdom as a company limited by guarantee (company no. 06386295). The entity is also a registered charity in England and Wales (charity no. 1123374). The principle and registered office address is shown on page 1 of the Report of the Trustees. 

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when: 

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange is legally entitled to the income, it is probable the income will be received, and 

the amount can be measured with reasonable accuracy. 

The following specific policies apply to material categories of income: 

(1) Grant income is deferred and included in creditors, if received in advance of meeting performance conditions or if the donor specifically states that the income must be spent in a future accounting period. 

(2) Contractual income is recognised when the goods or services as specified by the contract are delivered by the charity. This income is treated as unrestricted in the accounts. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred and is allocated to the particular activity where the costs relate directly to that activity. 

Support costs include the salary and overhead costs not directly related to the charitable activity, as well as governance costs, which are the costs associated with the governance arrangements that relate to the general running of the charity.  Attributable VAT which cannot be recovered is included within expenditure. 

## **Donated services and facilities** 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange this can be quantified. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Assets with a cost in excess of £500 intended to be of ongoing use to Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange in carrying out its activities are capitalised as fixed assets. Where an item is below £500 but is combined with other items as part of a project or to create an asset, these items will be capitalised if the collective value is greater than £500. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets using the reducing balance method, as follows: 

Freehold property                                                   No depreciation provided Improvements to freehold property                        Over 20 years Computer equipment                                              35% reducing balance

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Other office equipment                                           25% reducing balance/ over period of lease Fixtures and fittings                                                25% reducing balance 

Fixed assets are subject to periodic review for impairment where there is an indication of a reduction in their carrying value. Any significant impairment is recognised in the statement of financial activity in the year in  which it occurs. 

## **Taxation** 

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange, as a registered charity, is entitled to taxation exemptions on all income and gains that align with its charitable purposes. 

## **Finance and operating lease** 

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. 

Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised as fixed assets. Obligations relating to these agreements are included under creditors in the balance sheet. The difference between the capitalised costs and the total obligation under the leases represents the finance charges. Finance charges are recognised in the accounts at a constant rate over the lease term. 

Expenditure applicable to operating leases is charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis, in the period to which the cost relates. 

## **Pension costs** 

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme on behalf of its employees. The amount charged in the statement of financial activity represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the current accounting period. Costs are allocated to activities in line with wages costs. 

Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Debtors, creditors and provisions** 

Debtors with the exception of prepayments are those amounts that satisfy the income recognition policy on page 10, where funds have not been received at the year end. Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are expenditure amounts paid in the current financial year, relating to costs for future accounting periods. These are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

Debtors and creditors are reviewed at the year-end for evidence of required impairment to their settlement value. 

## **Deferred income** 

Deferred income consists of cash received by the charity, where the income recognition criteria has not been met because entitlement to the income does not exist at the balance sheet date. Deferred income is not recognised in the statement of financial activity until Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange is entitled to it. Instead, deferred income is disclosed as a creditor in the balance sheet. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
