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 (Older People's Action in the Locality) is proud to be a Community Anchor who are based in and manage the Welcome In Community Centre—a warm, inclusive, and vibrant space at the heart of the community. Our Community Café, open to all, is a vital social hub frequented by OPAL members, families with young children, individuals with learning disabilities, and support workers with those they care for.

As a volunteer-led organisation, we are powered by a dedicated team of over 100 volunteers and 14 (mainly part time) staff, working together to support the wellbeing of older people in our community.

Transforming Lives

Over the past year, OPAL has made a significant impact, supporting more than 800 older people, many of whom were facing isolation and loneliness. Through a wide range of services and activities, we help older individuals stay connected, supported, and empowered to live independently in their own homes. Our activity programme includes:

Achievements and performance continued

Enhance

Innovative Transport Project

Launched in January 2024 and developed through the year, our new transport project is already thriving. With an accessible minibus, a wheelchair-accessible car, a dedicated Transport Coordinator, and a team of volunteer drivers, we’ve made it easier for frail and disabled individuals to:

Supporting Independence

Our team provides one-to-one support to help older people navigate everyday challenges. This includes:

Tackling Food Insecurity

Our Community Café offers a welcoming and stigma-free space for everyone. Through our ‘Pay As You Feel’ meals, we ensure no one goes hungry. We also run a weekly Fareshare ‘market’, using surplus food to support our community and reduce food waste.

Addressing Climate Change

With grant funding we have reduced our carbon footprint through the installation of solar panels, improved insulation in the building, changing light fittings to LED and installed a bike shed to encourage carbon free travel. As part of our climate change project, we designed and produced information leaflets for community members to tell them how they too could make easy changes to reduce their carbon footprint too.

Plans for future periods

Due to recent funding cuts, we have made the difficult decision to reduce staff hours and the Enhance Project, including the Health Hub, has now come to an end. We have also reduced our digital support offer. We are pleased however, to confirm that all other services will continue as normal.

We have partially secured funding to replace our 15-year-old minibus and are actively fundraising to cover the remaining costs. We’re also excited to share that we have secured funding for the final stage of our grounds renovation project. This will involve transforming the condemned steps area into a new, accessible sensory garden, creating a welcoming and accessible outdoor space for everyone to enjoy.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £2,083, including net income of £37,939 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £40,022 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 £181,000 and £316,750 based on budgeted expenditure of £543,000. 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 £255,937.

The calculation for the reserves is as follows:

The total funds held at the year end were £861,286. Restricted funds were £71,565, leaving £789,721 in unrestricted funds. Excluding fixed assets of £533,784 leaves £255,937 as unrestricted free reserves. Free reserves at the previous year end were £188,977.

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 10/09/2025

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 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 19.

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:

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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2025

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.

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

No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

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

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.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.
