TLC St Luke’s Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2025
The trustees present their annual directors’ report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30[th] September 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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).
Objectives and activities
The purposes of the charity are to further such charitable purposes for the benefit of those living in Manchester and the surrounding area, as the trustees see fit, in particular, but not exclusively by: ~ providing facilities recreation and other leisure time occupations in the interest of social welfare
-
~ advancing education
-
~ relieving those in need
-
~ relieving sickness and promoting good health
-
~ promoting community capacity building; and
-
~ promoting the voluntary sector for the public benefit.
The charity provides support to those members of the community with mental health problems and to disadvantaged community groups whom, in the views of the trustees, are in need of additional assistance.
The main activities are to:
-
provide drop-in's and creative/learning/volunteering opportunities for people with mental health needs in Manchester and surrounding areas
-
provide, or signpost individuals to advice sessions in legal matters, mental health support, welfare rights/benefits and general advocacy
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year.
The charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through engaging with the community in a range of locations. The Drop-In services are now offered at two neighbourhood centres (Gregorys Place and the Ida Kinsey centre). We also offer once a week, a social outing to various cultural places around Greater Manchester. Many of our activities are geared towards people in Manchester with mental health needs. We aim to provide a warm, safe and comfortable place for people to meet with others and take part in health-related activities and projects and classes that encourage self-confidence and independence.
We are committed to delivering activities that aim to promote social inclusion, through making accessible activities to a wide and diverse population.
We are able to offer advice and advocacy in house and legal /benefit support through links with a Local Law Centre and other local organisations and have links with other projects to which we can signpost people.

Financial review
The charity has consolidated its financial position over the past year. We have had success in raising income from applications to trusts and funds, however our sustainability has continued to be an important focus for trustees and staff.
The Project Manager has successfully applied for and obtained funding from a number of Trusts and Foundations. This has given the drop-in sufficient funding to run for fifteen months.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have endeavoured to keep available funds in an interest-bearing deposit account.
Reserves policy and going concern.
The balance held in unrestricted reserves on 30[th] September 2025 was £28,128 of which all are free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately four months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
The Charity's main sources of income are grants and donations. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
Looking forward to the year ahead, the following are the priorities we want to address:
-
Based on our successful work to address our core aims and principles or practice, to continue our work on Organisational structure.
-
To continue fundraising
-
Develop a new website.
-
Continuing to deliver the Drop-In and Wellbeing services.
-
Continuing to recruit new Trustees and staff
Structure, governance and management
TLC-St. Luke’s is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 17th September 2010. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission and is constituted under a trust deed dated 6[th] May 2011. In June 2020 we welcomed a new trustee with a background in education and the arts.
The trustees are also exploring ways of involving participants from the Drop-in project in the governance of the charity, potentially as trustees.
Page 2
TLC St Luke’s Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2025
Appointment of trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, trustees are elected annually by the members of the charitable company attending the Annual General meeting and serve for a period of 5 years.
Trustee induction and training
Most trustees are already familiar with the work of the charity because of being local people and due to their involvement in the charity. Additionally, new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend induction and training with MACC and have engaged in relevant policies and procedures reviews.
Organisation
The board of trustees administers the charity. The board normally meets not less than 4 times per year.
Related parties and co-operation with other organisations
None of our trustees receives remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager with any service providers must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year, no such related party transactions were reported.

Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of TLC – St Luke’s for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting principles and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
A review of our achievements and performance
We have managed to stabilise and consolidate the work of the charity this year.
-
We maintained the trustee board numbers to stay quorate
-
We began a trustee recruitment process which resulted in two new trustees joining the board in the year
-
The Drop-In Project Manager, Diane Russell, has consistently managed to raise funds to maintain the Drop-In and Well-Being services. This has enabled the Drop-In service to continue to offer a wide range of activities for the participants.
-
We’ve built new and strengthened existing networks with mental health services and the local voluntary sector.
A report on TLC Wellbeing Drop-In
TLC St Luke’s is based in the Ardwick area of Manchester. Many participants who attend the centre are from the local area although some participants attend from other areas of Manchester. Ardwick is ranked 1,101 out of 32,844 neighbourhoods in England in terms of deprivation (the English Indices of Deprivation 2019). The Covid 19 pandemic impacted peoples mental and physical health, exacerbating existing challenges for many. These effects continue into 2025.
Staffing has remained stable, as although one facilitator left in August 2025, we successfully recruited another person in September 2025.
Page 4
TLC St Luke’s Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2025
Funding continues to be challenging, however, 2025 has been a year of growth for the Wellbeing Drop In project. The Project Manager has been successful in securing funding which will provide stability for the project through to early 2027. The Drop-in project does not receive any statutory funding.
Funding during this period was obtained from
-
National Lottery Community Fund
-
Manchester City Council
-
Peoples Postcode
-
Zochonis Trust
We also received a donation of £13,584.
During 2025 we received use of our Thursday venue free of charge from Your Housing Association.
The cost of living has impacted our client group throughout 2025 period. Food and energy costs are having a great impact. Our funding has enabled us to offer one-to-one sessions with clients to discuss finances; including energy bills/council tax/housing issues/bus pass applications. We have successfully assisted clients to claim pension credit and to claim council tax reductions.
The majority of our clients are not IT literate and are in danger of being ‘left behind’ in terms of our society’s’ moving to a more digital world. Funding during 2025 has enabled us to offer one-to-one basic IT sessions to clients.
The Drop in continues to offer its telephone befriending service, the team making regular calls to clients. These have now become embedded in our service and will continue to be part of the Drop-in offer.
During the 2025 year, we have developed and firmed up our relationship with Manchester City Council, RNCM, Hulme Garden Centre, and other partners in the city. On a wider scale, relationships have developed with the Relief in Need charity, The National lottery and The Postcode Lottery.
TLC continue to develop relationships with social prescribers/referrers at local GP centres and Living Well, Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation Trust.
TLC have visited various museums and Art galleries, with regular workshops at Manchester Museum.
We have celebrated diverse anniversaries, including Chinese New Year.
We visit 422 Stockport Road each month to support their community café and enjoy a meal together.
Each month, a musician has provided music sessions, ranging from clients writing and performing a song to karaoke sessions. These are very popular with clients. We attend regular concerts at the Halle in Ancoats and the Stoller Hall at Victoria.
We created Christmas wreaths at Hulme Community Garden Centre. Each month Kath from HCGC delivers a new craft session. We have made lampshades, paper beads, mint tea and much more.
TLC visit Home Cinema each month. We enjoy walks in City Centre Parks, Boat trips on the Irwell and visits to the East Lancashire Steam Railway and Manchester Transport Museum.

TLC St Luke’s Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 September 2025
The Drop In offers a range of informative talks for participants. This year we invited various organisations including Manchester Recycling, Manchester Age Friendly and Health organisations to hold instructive sessions.
We have worked closely with Manchester City Football Clubs’ community arm. They have delivered armchair football, quiz evenings and reminiscing sessions during the period.
Conclusion
2025 has been a year of consolidation of our offer. We continue to work with local social landlords, social prescribers at the local GP hubs, Barnardo’s, Manchester City Council, RNCM, Hulme Garden Centre, Social landlords and our many supporters.
Funding is always precarious for small charities; our Project Manager was successful in securing funding to enable the Project to continue through to early 2027
Our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure people were supported throughout 2025
Our aim for 2026 is to build on our success, to continue to support existing clients and to reach new people who will benefit from our service.
Our thanks go out to our clients who help us shape the service and continue to tell us that this service is needed.
Plans for Future Periods
Looking forward to the year ahead, the following are the priorities we want to address:
-
Based on our successful work to address our core aims and principles or practice, to continue our work on Organisational structure.
-
To continue fundraising
-
Develop a new website.
-
Continuing to deliver the Drop-In and Wellbeing services.
-
Continuing to recruit new Trustees and staff
TLC-St Luke’s is predominately funded by grants. We maintain the Wellbeing Drop In and other services via small grants and donations and continue to actively fund raise to secure core funding for the services provided overall. Therefore, the focus of our future planning is on sustainability and funding sources beyond this point.

TLC - ST LUKE'S Independent Examiner's Report For The Year Ended 30 September 2025
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 September 2025 , which are set out on pages 8 to 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
l examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
l follow the procedures laid down in general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
l to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
l to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
l to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
l with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 14.
1.3 Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
1.4 Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note 1.6.
1.5 Irrecoverable VAT
