RIVA PROJECT REPORT OF TRUSTEES, MARCH 2025
This report should be considered alongside the Annual Accounts published separately on the Charity Commission website. The report covers the Financial Year ending 31[st] March 2025.
Total Charity income had increased to £239.8k during the 12 months helped by increased student fees (£85k vs.£76.9k 2024) café takings (£75.5k vs £70.9k 2024), and donations and legacies £55k. Charity takings from our on -site shop were broadly neutral , but still significant at £19k.
Total expenditure had increased to £247k largely because of higher staffing costs (£ 162.8k vs. £135.7k 2024) which related to national movements in the Living Wage and our policy of tracking staff increases in accordance with these.
Energy costs were higher but do not reflect the organisation’s significant investment in renewable energy during the twelve months which had not been completed during this financial year but the benefits of which will be realised during the next fiscal year.
There was also a major movement in equipment purchase and hire reflecting that same investment in Solar PV equipment. The project was fully grant funded.
All areas of expenditure continue to be kept under close review and actions taken, as necessary.
Overall, therefore, RIVA incurred a small operating loss of £(£12.9k) over the twelve months.
As of 31st March 2024, the Charity held net assets of £115k, broadly unchanged from 2024. Unrestricted funds were £69k, and restricted funds-those held for a designated purpose-were £33.7k.
The RIVA Café remains extremely popular, averaging around one hundred visitors per working day, and remains an important Community Hub and a warm, comfortable, and relaxed social environment. The café continues to be a warm space for vulnerable adults during the winter months.
The café is also used by groups offering community advice, including the local PCSO’s, and the Charity engaged with local Church and School foodbank activity in support of disadvantaged community groups.
Our kitchen staff and volunteers have again had an exceptional year, and the café retains its maximum hygiene rating of five, demonstrating the high standard of preparation.
Our clients remain the most important aspect of RIVA’s activities. We ran at 12/13 clients for most of the financial year and we continue to look to grow this number whilst keeping a close watch on local government employability initiatives.
Key to this is improving the visibility and lived experience of RIVA’s clients, with
significant effort being applied to external trips and visits. Our three support staff, together with our volunteers, provide a range of educational activities and crafts in our Activity Room, which provides a safe, warm, and empathetic environment.
The Trustee Board continues to meet every two months to review a RAG-rated Agenda with targeted actions. (Health and safety, safeguarding, finance, and the regular review of our policy documents).
We reaffirm our commitment to our charitable purposes at each meeting and have a detailed timetable for the review of our Policies, ensuring that the Trustee body complies with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 in its regular assessment of the public benefit of its activities.
In addition, a Reserves Policy was drafted and agreed, setting a threshold of £35.6 of restricted funds from May 2025.
We were delighted to add Mrs Pam Smith and the Reverend Nick Grayshon to our Trustee board during this financial year.
Discussions continue with Sheffield City Council over the Heads of Terms of a Lease for use of the facility at Wisewood, against a backdrop of our significant investment in the facilities. We hope to reach an agreement in 2024/5 whilst recognising the financial pressures being experienced by Sheffield City Council.
In the forthcoming financial year, the Charity will focus on its energy costs and continue to construct the most transparent means of overseeing its financial performance, without losing focus on our clients and visitors.
Finally, behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank our Management team, Denise and Mikala, for their hard work and talent over the last 12 months , to my fellow Trustees for their support , commitment and expertise, and to Thorntons Accountants Limited for the preparation of these annual accounts.

Page 8
The R.I.V.L Club/Project Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Income and endowments All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. Donations andlegaaes Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fiJlfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it Is probable that these conditions will be fiJlfilled in the reporting period. Expenditure All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have b*n allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asseys use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Raing funds These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Governan costs These include the costs attributable to the charty's Complian with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, Strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. Taxation The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Art 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). Page 9
The R.I.V.L Club/Project Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction pri. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest methixl, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other 5hort-term highly liquid investments that are readily converbble to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Trade creditors Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have b*n acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least te1ve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least Ie1ve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings Interest-bearing borrowing5 are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the differen beeen the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant LK)rrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and 15 included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least e1ve months after the reporting date. Fund structu Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. Page 10
The R.I.V.L Club/Project Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Pensions and other post retirement obligations The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contribution5 are paid into a pension fund and the tharity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution5 even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior pericrfjs. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. Financial instruments Classification Financial assets and financial liabilitie5 are reccMJnised when the charity become5 a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the Substan of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. Recognitson andmeasurement All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction pri (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or 1055, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recconised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecogni5ed when and onty when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised onty when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Page 11
The R.I.V.L Club/Project Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Investments Investments in non-convertible preference share5 and non-puttable ordinary or preference share5 (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value 15 reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries and associates a measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Fair value measurement The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market 15 not attive and recent transaction5 of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 3 Trustees remuneration and expenses No trustees, nor any persons connected wtth them, have received any remuneration from the charity during the year. 4 Staff costs The aggregate payroll costs were as follows: 2025 2024 Staff costs during the year we.
