## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
The objects are to further or benefit the residents of Cookridge, Holt Park, Ireland Wood, Tinshill, Adel and Bramhope (most of the Leeds 16 postcode) and surrounding areas, particularly but not exclusively for the elderly, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents and to strengthen the local communities in which they live.
## **The charity's main activities**
OPAL reduces social isolation and promotes the wellbeing of older people so that they can live independently in their own homes. We do this by offering opportunities for healthy living and social activities, practical support and an information service.
OPAL is based in and manages the Welcome In Community Centre and Community Cafe. The Centre and Cafe is a facility for all the community and provides a source of revenue for OPAL as well as providing opportunity for integration of older people with the wider community.
## **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 health and wellbeing of older people.
## **Achievements and performance**
OPAL plays a very important role in many people’s lives and provides, to those who have various needs later in life, an environment where lives are enriched and friendships can flourish. We continue to consolidate our work at the Welcome In Community Centre and serve older people in our area and the wider community. Our membership numbers remain steady whilst many of our activities are at or near capacity and the range of our activities on offer is wide ranging and attractive. The café has seen increased patronage and we continue to get new people visiting us with positive feedback and reviews.
- l Accessible transport: Funding secured from Motability to purchase our own Wheelchair Accessible Car and minibus as well as employ a Transport Coordinator enabling us to develop our transport offer.
- l Health and Well-being Initiatives: additional chair exercise class, memory support group and a bereavement support group introduced to meet increased demand.
- l Volunteer Contribution: We have over 100 active volunteers contributing 10,285 hours of service. That’s equivalent to 5.5 FT staff members and an equivalent financial contribution of £107,170 (based on minimum wage). Volunteers have received training in first aid, dementia awareness, wheelchair handling and more.
- l Building maintenance and development work including:
- l New boilers installed ( money raised from fundraising – thanks to all!) l New signage on the building and around the site
- l Community composting now in place in the grounds
- l Existing garage refurbished and let (asbestos removed and new door)
- l New building management system in place
- l New electricity contract entered into saving us money
- l New digital phone system installed and alarm system updated
- l Funding secured to install solar panels on the roof and climate change measures

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Plans for future periods**
The lack of long-term funding poses a significant challenge for OPAL. To address this, we are actively developing a comprehensive fundraising strategy that includes individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and grant applications to secure our financial stability. Additionally, we are committed to reducing operational costs wherever possible. As part of this effort, we are implementing measures to lower our carbon footprint, which will further help in minimising expenses.
We are also focused on strengthening our partnerships with health and social care providers, local businesses, and other agencies to create a robust support network for older adults and the broader community.
In January 2024, we launched the Community Transport project, which aims to enhance accessible transport for older and disabled individuals within our community. We plan to further develop this initiative to ensure it meets the growing needs of those we serve.
Lastly, we will continue to consolidate our existing services and activities at OPAL and Welcome In, ensuring we effectively meet the needs of older adults and the wider community.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £67,969, including net expenditure of £8,982 on unrestricted funds and net income of £76,951 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees of the Charity have established a reserves policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be within the range of four and seven months of the resources expended in the operation of the charity, which equates to between £165,667 and £289,917 based on budgeted expenditure of £497,000. At this level, the Trustees feel that they would be able to honour their commitments to staff and creditors. The purpose of the reserves is to ensure that OPAL is resilient to, and has the capacity to manage unforeseen financial challenges.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £188,977.
The calculation for the reserves is as follows:
The total funds held at the year end were £863,369. Restricted funds were £111,587, leaving £751,782 in unrestricted funds. Excluding fixed assets of £562,805 leaves £188,977 as unrestricted free reserves. Free reserves at the previous year end were £211,372.

## Older People's Action in the Locality
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **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 21 August 2024

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Older People's Action in the Locality
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 7 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 ACIE 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.

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.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

## **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, if 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**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Donated goods for resale are valued at the amount actually realised upon their sale.
Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.
## **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:
Fixtures and equipment: over 5 years
Leasehold improvements: over the life of the lease
