## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

Our charity's objects are to: 

Further develop and benefit residents of Keighley specifically the neighbourhood of Highfield.  Without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together residents, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation, leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for residents. 

Maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of a community centre In Highfield for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objectives. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Highfield Community Association was incorporated in July 2002 and in April 2004 we moved into our current premises in The Highfield Centre.  We lease approximately half of the Highfield Centre from Bradford Council. 

Highfield Community Association aims to work for the public benefit and one of our main responsibilities is to provide the community, our customers, with the best possible service, whilst providing facilities and activities that improve their lives. 

## **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 and in particular the advancement of education and community development. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Highfield Community Association aims to work for the public benefit and one of our main responsibilities is to provide the community, our customers, with the best possible service, whilst providing facilities and activities that improve their lives. 

During the financial year we have been able to offer a number of courses including ESOL, English and Maths Functional Skills, Mental Health Awareness, Counselling, Sewing, Henna, Digital Skills, Food Hygiene and Living and Working in the UK. These courses have been delivered in partnership with Craven College, Keighley College, and the WEA. 

Our bookings are gradually returning to pre-Covid levels however we have noticed that the cost of living is still influencing people’s standard of living.  With the help of Bradford Council and the Household Support Fund we have continued to support our most vulnerable families and residents by providing food parcels and a warm meal twice a week. 

From April 2023 our Play Ranger Scheme has been funded by The National Lottery enabling us to continue with the brilliant work they carry out supporting children aged 5 – 14 years. The work during the year has focused on engaging the young people with arts and crafts activities based on mental wellbeing, mindfulness, knitting and crochet, yoga, homework club, reading club, sports and games.  With funding from Bradford Council Holiday Activities Fund we have been able to run activities during the school holidays, including family trips to Blackpool and the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, barge trips, cricket sessions in partnership with Dynamo and All Stars Cricket, cinema and bowling, and fun-filled park events at Cliffe Castle and Victoria Park which included free fairground rides, face painting and stalls. During the summer of 2023 we were supported by two students from Leeds Beckets University studying Youth & Community Work and again in January 2024 with three students.  We have also had some work placement students from Keighley College who are studying Health & Social Care and some young people volunteering via the Duke of Edinburgh award.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

The funding from the National Lottery has also meant that we have been able to work with children aged 14 – 21 years.  Our Excel Youth groups have participated in a variety of  activities including cooking sessions, photography, work and leadership skills, rapping and music workshops, orienteering, climbing and rock scrambling, Bradford Youth Voice Skills training, and trips out.  In February 2024 a workshop on how the UK Parliament works, how to get their voices heard with politicians and developing campaigning skills was delivered to the Excel youth and their parents.  A group for those young people aged 16+ with additional needs, the Diamond Group, was also set up to help them with life skills such as cooking, mindfulness and trips out. 

As well as our Play Ranger Project we have many other projects running.  Bradford Council through the Local Community Support Grant (formerly known as Day Opportunities) enables us to work with older women (Colourful Lives Project), Bangla women (Asha project) and older men (Dekh Bhaal project).  The groups meet weekly and have enjoyed trips out, gardening with help from Get Out More, exercise sessions, pampering, Arabic calligraphy workshops, and talks on health and wellbeing issues, such as Diabetes, alcohol and drug use, benefits advice, and of course the social side of meeting up each week just to chat. 

We received money from Sport England which funded exercise sessions for women and girls, and sports events.  Many of our ladies also had the opportunity to learn to ride a bike through Bradford Councils Cycling for Health Scheme. In March 2024, with funding from Bradford Council, activities took place in the Airedale Centre for International Women’s Day.  VCS Alliance funding enabled us to set up ‘out of hours’ wellbeing drop in provision for men and women and funding from Leeds Community Foundation has supported women’s wellbeing and mental health. 

Some of our other activities throughout the year have included a family fun day to celebrate King Charles III Coronation in May 2023, storytelling with magic tricks and puppets (as part of Bradford Council’s Family Literature Festival in June 2023), stay & play sessions, social chill and chat sessions, arts and crafts, coffee mornings, digital hub, WACA social prescribing clinics, Modality drop-in sessions and advice sessions, and regular exercise classes and sessions focusing around nutrition and health, which has helped over 40 women to lose weight and lead healthier lifestyles. Throughout the year we have held some very successful health days with Modality, health visitors, and community groups, looking at general health and wellbeing, blood pressure monitoring, diabetes awareness and flu vaccinations.  Most of the sessions take part at the centre but we also use community venues including Eastwood School and Holycroft School. 

In the main we receive no regular funding towards core costs so one of our main priorities remains to raise funds to improve our facilities, keep the centre running and offer more services to the community.  We do receive a Community Buildings Grant from Bradford Council which also goes towards our core costs and from October 2022 we were successful in securing a 3-year grant from The Henry Smith Charity, which also helps towards some of our core costs.  Our project work is funded by grants and our other main source of income, comes from hiring our rooms to organisations and private individuals. During the financial year our MUGA has again remained closed, it is need of repair and although we are looking for funding to replace the pitch and/or build a new facility, the rising cost of materials is not helping. 

All the work we carry out would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of our staff, volunteers and Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors not only contribute their time but also energy and expertise.  We would also not be able to continue without the support from the community and the help, advice and funding from our funders.

## Highfield Community Association - Keighley 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £32,599, including net income of £57,323 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £24,724 on restricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £218,699. 

Within this amount, funds have been designated by the trustees towards: 

- Building improvements (£60,000) to enable progress with renovating and redeveloping the MUGA (multi-use games area) which is currently closed. 

- Community development (£15,000) to enable our community development work to continue after external funding ceases, pending future funding opportunities. 

- Cost of living/Warm spaces (£10,000) to enable the continuation of provision of food parcels and at least two warm meals a week for a period of up to six months while we look for external funding. 

The total amounts so designated at the balance sheet date therefore were £85,000, leaving free reserves of £133,699, equating to 9.8 months of budgeted unrestricted expenditure, slightly above the upper range of the charity's reserves policy (see below). 

Highfield Community Association needs reserves to: 

- Meet contractual liabilities should the organisation have to close.  This includes redundancy pay, salary notice pay, general running costs, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases. 

- To meet unexpected costs like break down of essential office machinery, staff cover re illness, maternity leave, parental/adoption leave, and legal costs defending the charities interest. 

- To replace equipment as it wears out. 

- To ensure that Highfield Community Association can continue to provide a stable and quality service to those who need them.  Within this context to minimise recruitment, staff training, staff induction and marketing costs by avoiding the need for redundancies caused by financial crisis. 

- To provide working capital when funding is paid in arrears and place the charity in a position where it could bid of funding which can be paid up to 12 months in arrears. 

- From time-to-time funding has certain restrictions, which means that by law it must be held in restricted reserves until it is spent in line with the funding agreement. 

Potential for short time working 

Whilst the trustees have to take a prudent position and allow for redundancy in the event of a financial crisis the organisation does have a good relationship with its staff and the options of part-time working and short term lay-offs would also be considered. It should though be noted that increasingly funding is related to outputs and a move to part-time working could jeopardise some funding. 

## Reserves level 

Highfield Community Association therefore aims to have reserves in the band of 50% -75% (6 - 9 months) of anticipated expenditure in order to meet these costs. Based on budgeted unrestricted expenditure of £162,900, this would equate to being between £81,450 and £122,175.

## Highfield Community Association - Keighley 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Reserves policy (continued)** 

Maintaining a prudent level of reserves 

In the event of reserves dipping below the target Highfield Community Association has set, then measures would be taken to restore the reserves.  This could be achieved by increased fund raising, increasing earned income or reducing expenditure. 

If reserves exceed 75% of expenditure Highfield Community Association will consider the likely expenditure over the next two years and aim of reserves to be less than 75% of turnover by the end of two years. This could be achieved by reducing fund raising, allocating less time staff time to earned income activities, reducing prices, or increasing "free" activities and so increasing expenditure. Increasing "free" activities could be one off in areas like courses or sports activities or expanding the organisation generally.  In the latter case due attention will be paid to identifying funding that would sustain the expansion after the reserves had been brought below 75% of expenditure. 

## Monitoring and reviewing of reserves policy 

The Board will consider current costs of closure and examine the level of reserves each year when setting the following year’s budget.

## **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.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Highfield Community Association - Keighley 

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 9 to 18. 

## **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** 

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies. 

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.
