## **Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **1. OBJECT & PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT**
The object of the Trust is to relieve the needs of children, their families and carers in such ways as the trustees think fit with a view to developing their physical, mental, emotional, economic, spiritual and intellectual capabilities, and that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society, and that their conditions of life may be improved.
## **2. REVIEW OF THE YEAR**
This 12[th] full year of the Sale West Community Urban Trust has seen the further development in the work of our two part time Families and Children’s worker posts filled by Shauna Hancock (focussing on Children and Youth) and Carol Dodgson (Community Engagement Officer).
## **2.1 DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY**
## **ROC Mentoring**
Carol has seen one family engage with ROC Mentoring, and they have been allocated mentors. The formal ROC mentoring programme is being wound up as other initiatives are reaching a wider audience.
## **Keep Calm and Craft and The Oddballs**
Keep Calm and Craft and The Oddballs crochet group are going well. Both groups are aimed at the vulnerable and socially isolated and seek to provide a community of people to help people.
All the mentors that Carol has recruited are Sale and Sale West residents who are experienced and wellconnected.
Carol has started an additional new craft group meeting weekly at Sale West Community Centre.
## **Men’s Group**
Carol has recruited Joel White, a trained counsellor, to head up a men’s group that can meet to play board games, support one another and build social skills.
## **Healing Hearts project**
Healing Hearts is a bereavement group which meets once a month; it is a partnership project with the social prescribers, the church and SWCUT. The project is in its infancy and will evolve and mature as we move forward.
## **2.2 CHURCH WORK WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES**
## **- Keeping Connected Youth Group**
Shauna is part of the leadership team running a weekly _Fuel_ youth group set up to give young people a chance to talk through the issues they are facing. It is a means of support and a safe place to meet, talk and find both strength and friendship.

## **Junior Church**
Shauna has welcomed four new children who started to come along in September. As they are younger than the children we have already settled in Junior Church she created a group specifically for them to explore faith and build foundations with them.
Most of the leaders on the rota are new, either new Christians or new leaders. This is such a great opportunity and Shauna has been spending time encouraging them and safely challenging them out of their comfort zones, identifying where their strengths are and giving them space to step into different roles within the sessions to build their confidence and develop their skills.
## **Fuel at Sale West**
Shauna has started a youth group at the Sunday service as a number of the children from Junior church had moved from Primary to Secondary school.
## **3. PARTNERSHIPS**
We work alongside a number of local partners: the Sale Health Visitor team, Silk Elephant, Trafford’s Place Based Integration Service, Firs Primary School, Sale West Community Church, Butterflies Preschool Group, the Foodbank, Social Services, Trafford Parent and Young People Partnership, Trafford Social Care and Delamere School. Local doctors & social partners refer people to the Keep Calm & Craft group. We continue to have strong links with Transforming Lives Together in Chester Diocese and Redeeming our Communities charity.
## **4. INDUCTION AND TRAINING**
Both Carol and Shauna are up to date with safeguarding training.
## **5. GRANTS RECEIVED**
We gratefully acknowledge grants from the Lottery Fund, Trafford Council, Our Sale West, Irwell Valley Housing Association, The Willats Trust and St Mary’s Magdalene, Ashton on Mersey which have supported our work this year; and a grant from The Charity Service received in 2022 for a project in 2023. Restricted income is held in restricted funds and has enabled our work in the community listed in section 2.1 plus some salary costs from section 2.2. Unrestricted income has funded the rest of our work in section 2.2 plus the general running costs of the Trust.
## **6. RESERVES**
We hold cash at the bank of £13,791 of which £15,647 relates to unrestricted funds, -£4,856 relates to restricted funds, and £3,000 is accrued income already received for projects starting in 2023.
SWCUT seeks to maintain 6 months of regular expenditure in our reserves, which we use for working capital to balance our income and expenditure streams. At the end of 2022 we held overall reserves, including both unrestricted and restricted funds, of 3.6 months (4.5 months with accrued income).
We continually seek new grants to finance our work.
This is the twelfth year of operation and the trustees are confident that there are sufficient reserves to support ongoing commitments for the next twelve months.

The governing document is the constitution adopted by the Committee of five Trustees at the inaugural meeting held at 44 Moss Lane, Sale, Cheshire M33 6GD on 25 July 2010. The charity was registered on 11 August 2010. The Charity did not become active until 1 January 2011.

## _**7**_ **. TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS**
The following are Trustees: Revd Stephen Rankin, Chair Kathryn Kirby Peter Langley, Secretary Brian Macfaden, Treasurer Bella Okpalugo
## **8. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
Under charity law, the trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements for each financial year which properly present the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustees:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, as amended by the Charities Act 2022, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
On behalf of the Trust

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SALE WEST COMMUNITY URBAN TRUST**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages 6 to 11.
## RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT.
As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act: or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
