## Ilkley and District Good Neighbours Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2026
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in Ilkley, Addingham, Burley-inWharfedale and Menston in the local government district of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and its neighbourhood.
## **The charity's main activities**
Support independent living, alleviate loneliness and improve the lives of older and vulnerable people in the Ilkley District.
## **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 supporting elderly and vulnerable people.
## **Achievements and performance**
IDGN continues to thrive and make a real difference within our community. Read on to hear more about how the individual projects are providing support, connection and friendship.
## **Companionship**
**The Befriending Scheme** is more than a service—it’s often a lifeline for older people who might face loneliness and isolation. Through regular phone calls and face-to-face visits, this scheme brings comfort, conversation, and a sense of belonging back into people’s lives. At its heart, it nurtures emotional wellbeing, helping individuals feel seen, valued, and re-connected.
In 2025/2026, a dedicated team of 26 volunteers gave over 860 hours of their time to support 32 older individuals. Behind these numbers are moments that truly matter: 151 thoughtful phone calls offering reassurance and a familiar voice, and 782 hours of in-person visits filled with laughter, shared stories, and compassionate listening. These are the small, human gestures that make a profound difference.
Perhaps most powerfully, 12 of these connections have grown into lasting, independent friendships - relationships that now thrive beyond the scheme itself, rooted in genuine care and mutual trust. Across Ilkley, Addingham, and Burley-in-Wharfedale, 856 interactions took place, each representing meaningful human connection and support for an older person who might otherwise feel alone.
## **Shopping Support**
Despite a slow start to the year, referrals for **the ShopAssist scheme** have seen an upturn since November and we are now supporting 15 clients to access their groceries in person. These clients have been supported by 13 volunteers who between them have contributed 864 volunteer hours. With the increase in demand for the project has come the need for a short waiting list and more volunteers who are able to spare at least two hours per week.
Volunteers assist clients with practical shopping tasks such as reading labels, lifting items, and packing bags, but the service also provides important social connection. Regular interactions have helped build friendships, making the shopping trips a meaningful and often enjoyable highlight for many clients. There have also been 4 shopping partnerships which have transitioned to a informal relationship outside the bounds of the charity, which is wonderful for both client and volunteer and shows the lasting impact of the connections we broker.
This was, however, the year that IDGN took the difficult decision to close **the Shop & Drop (S&D) service** . Over the 6 years that S&D has been operational, it has supported 42 clients, has been supported by 37 volunteers and has delivered just under 5,000 shops.
3
## Ilkley and District Good Neighbours Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2026
## **Shopping Support continued**
Initiated as a response to the Covid pandemic in 2020 as an alternative to ShopAssist, S&D was funded in the main by Bradford Council until April 2025. With that funding withdrawn and referrals dwindling, the trustees agreed in November 2025 to close the service at the end of March 2026. The ten clients in receipt of the S&D service were notified in January 2026. This gave them a 3-month notice period, whilst not causing undue worry for them over the Christmas period. In the new year, the S&D Coordinator met with each client individually and signposted to appropriate alternative services. At the time of writing all clients have successfully made alternative arrangements.
## **Friendship Groups**
‑ Taking on responsibility for **the Friendship Groups** following the departure of the long standing coordinator was both a challenge and an opportunity for new joiner, Helen Bowman. With the generous support of group members and dedicated volunteers, the transition was successful and the groups continue to thrive.
The Friendship Groups provide a weekly social and signposting opportunity at the Clarke Foley Centre for individuals aged 70 and over. From May to September, sessions ran on both Thursdays and Fridays. However, due to fluctuating attendance on Thursdays, the decision was taken in January to consolidate into a single enhanced Friday group. Members were supported through this change and attendance has since stabilised and grown.
The Friday group now attracts an average of 25 attendees, including new members and an increased number of men. Initial concerns about integration were quickly alleviated, with members enjoying the opportunity to build ‑ new connections while renewing long standing friendships. Although some members are no longer able to attend due to declining health, they remain very much part of the group’s wider community.
Alongside social connection, the group continues to play an important role in sharing local information and resources. A varied programme of speakers and activities has been delivered, alongside designated social sessions that encourage stronger relationships and member feedback. This approach has helped shape the programme and identify new volunteer speakers from within the community.
The continued success of the Friendship Groups would not be possible without the commitment and generosity of our volunteers, whose support is sincerely appreciated.
## **Dementia Services**
‑ The Dementia Hub and Dementia Cafés continue to provide essential, person centred support for people living with dementia and for their carers across the local area.
The **Ilkley Dementia Café** runs twice monthly and consistently welcomes around 20–25 attendees. Sessions combine social connection with a varied programme of entertainment and activities, alongside opportunities for carers to talk with one another and receive informal guidance and signposting. Advance programmes help families decide which sessions will be most suitable, while small environmental enhancements have improved comfort, orientation and atmosphere.
The **Addingham Memory Morning** , held twice monthly, provides a quieter and more informal alternative for those who may find larger settings challenging. Attendance has grown steadily, with 10–15 people attending each session. A range of gentle and engaging activities is available, encouraging shared participation and conversation, while carers benefit from peer support and mutual understanding.
The weekly **Dementia Hub** , now based at the Clarke Foley Community Hub, offers a safe and welcoming space for individuals, families and professionals to seek advice, reassurance and signposting. Support is tailored to individual needs and often involves extended one ‑ to ‑ one conversations, particularly around coping with dementia ‑ related behaviours and sustaining carer wellbeing. Many people report valuing having dedicated time with someone who will listen and understand their situation.
Across all services, strong partnerships with specialist organisations ensure appropriate referrals for more complex needs. Volunteers remain central to the delivery of the Dementia Hub and Dementia Cafés, and their ongoing commitment enables these valued services to operate safely, consistently and with compassion.

## Ilkley and District Good Neighbours Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2026
## **Social and Community Events**
IDGN has continued to offer a programme of **social outings** available to all clients in receipt of one of the charity’s core services. This year there were ten outings, taking in scenic afternoon tea trips, Christmas lunches, the local panto, as well as a trip to an out of town retail park. The feedback which the charity receives after each of these trips demonstrates what a difference a simple change of scenery can make: “I'm so glad you encouraged me to come along; I've enjoyed myself, and like chatting to other people, and I have something of my own to tell my sons now - some of my own news.”
The **Over 90s party** treated many of the area’s oldest residents to an afternoon of music, nostalgia, and good food. Held at the Clarke Foley Community Hub, it provided many local people who have passed their 90th birthday with an opportunity to get together with other residents and share an enjoyable afternoon tea. It can often be one of the only social occasions for many of the guests so it was particularly poignant to see the joy on guests’ faces. A highlight was the Wharfedale Squadron, whose young people, dressed in full uniform, escorted guests to and from transport provided by Ilkley Community Transport. The afternoon culminated in a lively sing along, led by Kate Stevens and Ilkley Moornotes Community Choir.
**The** _**Lifted**_ **photography exhibition** , held in July, marked the end of the 50th anniversary year of Ilkley and District Good Neighbours (IDGN), celebrating its support for older and vulnerable people. Working with photographer Charlie Swinbourne, the charity produced twelve images capturing its key projects and the relationships between clients and volunteers. Offering the local community an insight into IDGN’s impact and highlighting daily volunteer contributions, the photographs were displayed over six months at venues across Ilkley such as the library, theatre, arts centre and community centre.
## 35
When delivering the gifts to Befriending and ShopAssist clients at home, there was the opportunity to stay and chat for a short while as part of each delivery, allowing the young and older people a chance to connect. Students were welcomed to the Friendship Groups to hand out the parcels and chat to members. Parcels were also handed out to those people attending the Dementia Cafés in the run up to Christmas.
## **Partnership Working with the Clarke Foley Community Hub**
During the first quarter of 2026, IDGN trialled a new working space in the **Clarke Foley Community Hub (CFC)** . It was felt that the overlap of our client groups and the visibility of its location would provide an important shop window for IDGN. Throughout the pilot period we found we were making connections with existing and new clients, who were either visiting the CFC anyway or who found us easier to locate in the centre of town. As the trial came to an end the charity agreed it was beneficial to relocate our office permanently to the CFC. The focus of the next 12 months is to look for projects that IDGN can collaborate on with CFC with a view to move towards a closer working partnership.

## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £27,392, including net expenditure of £19,463 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £7,929 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £130,948. This includes £39,500 of designated funds (explained below).
The Trustees have agreed the following Reserves Policy:
Reserves of 6 to 12 months of forecast expenditure.
The policy shall be reviewed at least annually. The level of reserves shall be included in the financial reporting provided to Trustees in advance of each Trustee meeting.
For the Financial Year Ending 31 March 2027, the trustees have agreed to designate funds for expenditure as follows:
Befriending inc. Shop Assist £19,500 Dementia Hub and Café £8,100 Fundraising and special projects £11,900 **Total £39,500**
The funds are set aside to allow us to continue with these activities (previously funded, in part by BMDC). The Trustees agreed to designate funds again at the year end (representing key core priorities), and have transferred remaining balances from the previous funds into the new ones.
The reserves held as at 31 March 2026 equate to just over 12 months worth of 2026/2027 forecast expenditure. However, if the designated funds are deducted, the remaining reserves equate to approximately 8.6 months of forecast expenditure.

## Ilkley and District Good Neighbours Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2026
## **Reserves policy continued**
The following statement explains why the Trustees feel that this level of reserves is not only necessary but demonstrates good financial planning and that the charity is being responsibly managed:
## 1. Staffing
IDGN is a growing charity which has expanded the services it provides and so the number of staff it employs. The level of reserves held allows IDGN to offer a degree of job security to its workforce. It means that, where possible, staff can have permanent contracts, rather than temporary or fixed-term, allowing them to focus on their roles without the worry of their jobs coming to an end. The Trustees feel that having a stable staffing structure is critical to the medium to long term success of the Charity and gives them the ability to plan further ahead and more strategically.
## 2. Financial stability
IDGN is dependent on securing external funding in order to operate. As the country continues to recover from the pandemic, it is a very difficult economic climate in which the third sector operates, with competition for external funding greater than ever before. IDGN obtains a significant amount of its funding from various grant making bodies. Holding reserves means that should this support become insufficient, the Trustees have time to identify and try to secure other sources of external funding to avoid cutting the key services it delivers.
## 3. Reacting to the needs of the community
A sufficient level of reserves enables IDGN to identify, develop and launch pilot projects for local needs. It is able to test the approach, make any necessary improvements before deployment, fully cost and demostrate the need, which is more likely to attract external funding. This is demonstrated by the approach taken with the Dementia Hub.

## Ilkley and District Good Neighbours Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2026
## **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 13/5/2026

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ilkley and District Good Neighbours
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2026, which are set out on pages 10 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**
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.

## **Reason for designation**
The funds were set aside to allow us to continue with these activities (previously funded, in part by BMDC). The trustees agreed to designate funds again at the year end (representing key core priorities), and have transferred remaining balances from the previous funds into the new ones. To continue these services in the absence of funding from BMDC which ended in April 2025.
To continue these services in the absence of grant funding to support the full costs.
To establish a new role with the aim of generating future income streams and new services.
