financial statements and comply with the charitable company's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and _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)_ (e�ective 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Objectives** 

The charity’s objectives are to relieve poverty, hunger and sickness and preserve and protect the good health, physical and mental well-being of homeless, disadvantaged and vulnerable people in Salford and its surrounding area. We also aim to assist those we help to achieve their potential through education, mentoring and activities. 

We operate a Drop-In Centre at 1 Paddington Close, and a Skills for Life Centre at 3 Paddington Close, o�ering classes, training and tailored support. 

## **Activities** 

At the Drop-In Centre we welcome all demographics and o�er practical and trauma-informed support, meals, shower and laundry facilities, clothing, and emergency provisions. In 2024, we saw 23,613 visits across 246 sessions, an annual average of 96 people a day. We registered 2,507 new people, an average of 208 each month. 

2024 was a year of increased demand and expanded partnerships. Visitor numbers rose by 2,856 compared to 2023, and by 5,080 from pre-pandemic figures. 

We host on-site NHS services, optician clinics, Salford Foodbank sessions, Citizens Advice Bureau one to one advice; Salford Council housing team visits, Greater Manchester Health drug and alcohol services, BBV testing and counselling. The Council’s welfare hub team is now based with us weekly. 

Furthering our holistic approach for our service users, we added new weekly services, including an NHS diagnostic clinic, Citizens Advice Bureau debt sessions, a flexible learning hub, and refugee/asylum seeker appointments. We launched our first evening takeaway food provision with _Feed My City_ . 

Cultural and community engagement included art projects, performances, exhibitions, and trips to local and regional venues. 

The Skills for Life Centre supports community members into employment, delivering accredited courses, digital inclusion sessions, job clubs and bespoke employment plans. Through the Learning, Work and Skills Programme, we helped over 200 people move towards work, gaining new skills, qualifications and confidence.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** 

We also delivered a wide range of activities and cultural trips during the year through programmes such as _Whose Art, Whose Culture_ and our ongoing gardening partnership with RHS Bridgewater. Notable new partnerships in 2024 included Revive UK, Community Upskilling, Pendleton Together and Salix Homes. 

## **Financial** 

We have continued to manage reserves carefully, aiming to maintain 12 months’ unrestricted expenditure to protect services given our lack of guaranteed annual income which is not assured year by year. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

We will: 

- Continue to meet the rising demand for our services while seeking to address root causes. 

- Recruit additional trustees to strengthen governance (with a target of around 8 trustees). 

- Expand partnerships and funding sources, mindful of the turnover threshold issue. 

- Develop our sta� team to increase engagement capacity for all those who need our support. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charitable company is limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30 November 2006 and registered as a charity on 10 June 2008. 

Trustees are appointed by the Board and receive induction and information on their legal responsibilities. The Board meets every two months, with occasional decisions between meetings when necessary.

shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central sta� costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use and other expenses are allocated based on the portion of floor area that each activity uses.

## **1.7** 

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have su�ered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
