Message from your Chair: Lesley Roebuck

It has been a strange year. It started off quite slowly, I think many of our members were still a bit dubious about coming back and mixing with other members.

However, things have started to pick up and numbers attending activities and events are going up. Our new Tuesday coffee pod has been very successful, keep fit numbers are back to pre-Covid numbers and line dancing is thriving. We have had quite a lot of new people join; in fact we are running short of space in the Hall. And in the New Year we will add an extra line dance session on Friday mornings.

Somehow, we have managed to deliver nearly 400 events and activities this year,

including our Jubilee celebration for her Majesty and our very first Yorkshire Day. Our little organisation goes from strength to strength.

I would like to thank Martin and Susan for all their hard work in arranging all these things.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope to see you all fit and well in 2023. Lesley Roebuck, Chair of HOPS

From Your Treasurer: Cynthia Ramsden

We have had another successful year at HOPS and despite financial pressures, we have maintained our range of services and activities and in most cases, we are back to preCovid attendance levels. Our new Tuesday coffee pod Café has proved very popular with our members and offers a great opportunity to have a natter and keep warm.

With the reduction in grant funding from Adult Social Care and other additional funding becoming more difficult to secure, we have had to review our pricing structure for 2023. Details can be found on page 9. This has been a very difficult decision - I hope you will agree we still represent great value for money.

Last financial year October 2021 to September 2022 HOPS Income

From your Manager: Martin Newton

It has been yet another monumental year here at HOPS. We are now in full operational mode after a very difficult couple of years due to Covid; hopefully that is all behind us now.

This year seems to have passed by at an alarming rate and it still feels like the year is just starting. Maybe it passed so quickly because we have been busy rebuilding and delivering a good number of opportunities for members to get out and about and meet people. Between October 2021 and the end of September 2022 we have provided almost 400 activities, events and special celebrations as you can read in Susan’s report, in addition to the support we provide on a one-to-one basis. If you need support with statutory agencies, housing, utilities or benefit checks please let us know - if we can’t help you, we will know someone who can.

We also welcomed some new team members this year. Elaine Lane has joined us as our chief cook and bottle washer and has been delivering freshly made dinners and fantastic breakfasts since February 2022. If you have not tried our food, you are missing out. Marta has been working with us since June, helping with activities, lunch clubs and our amazing coffee pod on Tuesdays. Welcome aboard.

The year has not been without its difficulties; one of our main supporters and funders, Leeds City Council Adult Social Care, have, due to budget restraints, reduced our yearly grant by 10%, which will clearly impact on our ability to deliver services into the future. We have been able to mitigate some of that impact this year with a grant from the People’s Postcode Lottery but that runs out at the end of 2022. And just like everyone else prices have risen (diesel, gas, electric, food etc) and inflation has impacted our finances so much so it has become necessary to increase the price of some of our services to remain sustainable. As always, we have kept them to a minimum and I hope you agree that the new prices still represent great value.

Susan, myself and the Management Committee try hard to bring you many varied and different activities and days out from “Naked Calendars” to axe throwing and zip wire next year. We are open to any suggestions, so long as they are legal.

If you have any ideas please let Susan, a Committee Member or me know and we will do our best to make it happen.

The next 12 months will be as exciting as the last. See you all soon, Martin

ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022

From your Assistant Manager: Susan Childs

Hello everyone

As usual the fact that it's November/December again has taken me by surprise, time is flying by! I suppose the old saying of 'time flies when you're having fun' must be true. It has been a busy and eventful year and so nice to be able to get back to some kind of normality. I thought I'd remind you of some of the things we've been up to during the last 12 months; it amazes me how much we do once I start looking back so I won't remind you of everything.

Last January we had a lovely New Year’s dinner at the Masonic Lodge and our annual trip to the Panto, both of which we'll be doing again in January 2023.

Amongst other things we've had visits to Mama Doreen’s, Armley/Leeds Industrial Museum, Ripon Workhouse, Doncaster wildlife park, Swinton Estate for afternoon tea, Shibden Hall, Sculpture Park, axe throwing, the casino, shopping trips, Castle Howard and Stockeld Park!

We have enjoyed visits to the Village Hall from a forensic science team, 2 Red Ladder plays and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Our sessional workers have provided us with line dancing, art classes, singing/music, Tai Chi, yoga and belly dancing.

We have also enjoyed a number of walks.

We were lucky enough to celebrate one of our past member’s 100th birthday. Some of you will remember Hilda Hanson; it was a special day.

Our event days have been very successful. We raised money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance by buying their merchandise when they came to give a talk and raised £597.07 for Macmillan at our Macmillan coffee morning - thank you!

We celebrated Yorkshire Day including a visit from a pair of ferrets and some pigeons, not at the same time I hasten to add. Our thanks go to Duncan and Mick.

As always Elaine provided us with delicious Yorkshire based food.

Our Jubilee event was wonderful with music from the Washboard Resonators. We had special guests including Rachel Reeves MP, Councillors Fiona Venner and Hannah Bithell and our very own Queen for the day, Audrey Pawsey.

A special thanks to Amanda and Ian Mckenna for their generous donation towards the day.

Some of our members told their stories of growing up in and around Kirkstall, to the Abbey House Museum. We are proud to say that their stories are now part of the Kirkstall lives exhibition at Abbey House Museum and you can go and see this until September 2023.

Some of their stories will also be available as a learning resource for Leeds school children. Thank you to Ted and Linda Holmes, Margaret and Jack Toulson, Violet Kennedy and Val McHale for sharing their stories.

Craft group refurbished a beautiful dolls house which we presented to Hawksworth Primary School; they loved it.

Last, but not least, I have to mention our calendar. Martin and I are incredibly proud and grateful to all of our members who took part; they were amazing and look fantastic. Please buy a calendar or two, all profits are going to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, a charity our 'models' chose themselves.

Myself, Martin and all those who took part would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to Chris Christie our photography, who gave his services for free.

Please let Martin or me know if there are any trips or activities that you would like to do/go on - we will do our best to accommodate you.

Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year, Susan

The Calendar Project

After a 7month stay in hospital last year I was lucky enough to pull through and I got together with a few other members and decided to celebrate body positivity in older people and to raise some money for a good cause at the same time.

With the help and guidance from Martin and Susan we all got together and made an excellent calendar.

Oh what fun we had posing naked for the camera and supporting each other as we got ready for our shoot. It bolstered our confidence and made us feel special. We had an excellent photographer who made us feel at ease and gave freely of his time.

We voted to donate all the profits to Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The feedback has been excellent from so many people and the calendar has sold like hot cakes, Val McHale PS It was my idea!!

Hawksworth Older People Support Services (HOPS) Ltd Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2022

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.

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:

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.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Project and office equipment: over 3 years

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Message from your Chair: Lesley Roebuck

It has been a strange year. It started off quite slowly, I think many of our members were still a bit dubious about coming back and mixing with other members.

However, things have started to pick up and numbers attending activities and events are going up. Our new Tuesday coffee pod has been very successful, keep fit numbers are back to pre-Covid numbers and line dancing is thriving. We have had quite a lot of new people join; in fact we are running short of space in the Hall. And in the New Year we will add an extra line dance session on Friday mornings.

Somehow, we have managed to deliver nearly 400 events and activities this year, including our Jubilee celebration for her Majesty and our very first Yorkshire Day. Our little organisation goes from strength to strength.

I would like to thank Martin and Susan for all their hard work in arranging all these things.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope to see you all fit and well in 2023.

Lesley Roebuck, Chair of HOPS

From Your Treasurer: Cynthia Ramsden

We have had another successful year at HOPS and despite financial pressures, we have maintained our range of services and activities and in most cases, we are back to pre-Covid attendance levels. Our new Tuesday

coffee pod Café has proved very popular with our members and offers a great opportunity to have a natter and keep warm.

With the reduction in grant funding from Adult Social Care and other additional funding becoming more difficult to secure, we have had to review our pricing structure for 2023. Details can be found on page 9. This has been a very difficult decision - I hope you will agree we still represent great value for money.

From your Manager: Martin Newton

It has been yet another monumental year here at HOPS. We are now in full operational mode after a very difficult couple of years due to Covid; hopefully that is all behind us now.

This year seems to have passed by at an alarming rate and it still feels like the year is just starting. Maybe it passed so quickly because we have been busy rebuilding and delivering a good number of opportunities for members to get out and about and meet people.

Between October 2021 and the end of September 2022 we have provided almost 400 activities, events and special celebrations as you can read in Susan’s report, in addition to the support we provide on a one-to-one basis. If you need support with statutory agencies, housing, utilities or benefit

H elping O lder P eople S mile since 2001

ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022

checks please let us know - if we can’t help you, we will know someone who can.

We also welcomed some new team members this year. Elaine Lane has joined us as our chief cook and bottle washer and has been delivering freshly made dinners and fantastic breakfasts since February 2022. If you have not tried our food, you are missing out. Marta has been working with us since June, helping with activities, lunch clubs and our amazing coffee pod on Tuesdays. Welcome aboard.

The year has not been without its difficulties; one of our main supporters and funders, Leeds City Council Adult Social Care, have, due to budget restraints, reduced our yearly grant by 10%, which will clearly impact on our ability to deliver services into the future. We have been able to mitigate some of that impact this year with a grant from the People’s Postcode Lottery but that runs out at the end of 2022. And just like everyone else prices have risen (diesel, gas, electric, food etc) and inflation has impacted our finances so much so it has become necessary to increase the price of some of our services to remain sustainable. As always, we have kept them to a minimum and I hope you agree that the new prices still represent great value.

Susan, myself and the Management Committee try hard to bring you many varied and different activities and days out from “Naked Calendars” to axe throwing and zip wire next year. We are open to any suggestions, so long as they are legal.

If you have any ideas please let Susan, a Committee Member or me know and we will do our best to make it happen.

The next 12 months will be as exciting as the last. See you all soon, Martin

Hello everyone

As usual the fact that it's November/December again has taken me by surprise, time is flying by! I suppose the old saying of 'time flies when you're having fun' must be true.

H elping O lder P eople S mile since 2001

ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022

It has been a busy and eventful year and so nice to be able to get back to some kind of normality. I thought I'd remind you of some of the things we've been up to during the last 12 months; it amazes me how much we do once I start looking back so I won't remind you of everything.

Last January we had a lovely New Year’s dinner at the Masonic Lodge and our annual trip to the Panto, both of which we'll be doing again in January 2023.

Amongst other things we've had visits to Mama Doreen’s, Armley/Leeds Industrial Museum, Ripon Workhouse, Doncaster wildlife park, Swinton Estate for afternoon tea, Shibden Hall, Sculpture Park, axe throwing, the casino, shopping trips, Castle Howard and Stockeld Park!

We have enjoyed visits to the Village Hall from a forensic science team, 2 Red Ladder plays and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Our sessional workers have provided us with line dancing, art classes, singing/music, Tai Chi, yoga and belly dancing.

We have also enjoyed a number of walks.

We were lucky enough to celebrate one of our past member’s 100th birthday. Some of you will remember Hilda Hanson; it was a special day. Our event days have been very successful. We raised money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance by buying their merchandise when they came to give a talk and raised £597.07 for Macmillan at our Macmillan coffee morning - thank you!

We celebrated Yorkshire Day including a visit from a pair of ferrets and some pigeons, not at the same time I hasten to add. Our thanks go to Duncan and Mick.

As always Elaine provided us with delicious Yorkshire based food.

Our Jubilee event was wonderful with music from the Washboard Resonators. We had special guests including Rachel Reeves MP, Councillors Fiona Venner and Hannah Bithell and our very own Queen for the day, Audrey Pawsey.

A special thanks to Amanda and Ian Mckenna for their generous donation towards the day.

Some of our members told their stories of growing up in and around Kirkstall, to the Abbey House Museum. We are proud to say that their stories are now part of the Kirkstall lives exhibition at Abbey House Museum and you can go and see this until September 2023.

Some of their stories will also be available as a learning resource for Leeds school children. Thank you to Ted and Linda Holmes, Margaret and Jack Toulson, Violet Kennedy and Val McHale for sharing their stories.

Craft group refurbished a beautiful dolls house which we presented to Hawksworth Primary School; they loved it.

Last, but not least, I have to mention our calendar. Martin and I are incredibly proud and grateful to all of our members who took part; they were amazing and look fantastic. Please buy a calendar or two, all profits are going to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, a charity

our 'models' chose themselves.

Myself, Martin and all those who took part would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to Chris Christie our photography, who gave his services for free.

Please let Martin or me know if there are any trips or activities that you would like to do/go on - we will do our best to accommodate you. Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year, Susan

The Calendar Project

After a 7month stay in hospital last year I was lucky enough to pull through and I got together with a few other members and decided to celebrate body positivity in older people and to raise some money for a good cause at the same time.

With the help and guidance from Martin and Susan we all got together and made an excellent calendar.

Oh what fun we had posing naked for the camera and supporting each other as we got ready for our shoot. It bolstered our confidence and made us feel special. We had an excellent photographer who made us feel at ease and gave freely of his time.

H elping O lder P eople S mile since 2001

We voted to donate all the profits to Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The feedback has been excellent from so many people and the calendar has sold like hot cakes, Val McHale
