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

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

To promote the good health and improve the health of the residents of Allerton and Lower Grange and surrounding areas of West Bradford (the area of benefit), in particular by the establishment of a healthy living centre in the area. 

To further or benefit the residents of the area of benefit, 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 leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Cafe West is a full spectrum community centre located in the heart of Allerton, within a recognised area of deprivation, delivering end to end services for the people of Allerton, Lower Grange, Sandy Lane and the wider area. 

## **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 advancement of education and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Continued to provide classes and support to residents which have included, Cook & Eat Sessions, wellbeing, digital inclusion, nutrition, financial advice, local HUBs, Triage, Advice and Exercise classes for young and elderly. 

A busy well-resourced holiday program along with feeding and supporting the local children, families and others in need of support. 

A range of advice and counselling has been on offer covering debt, welfare benefits. The number of residents accessing these services continues to increase year on year. 

The library within Cafe West is a great success. It’s used by the elderly residents as well as having a large number of younger users which is being expanded thanks to better engagement form local schools. It just keeps growing. 

Cafe West will continue to work in collaboration with a wide range of Partners, Local Authority, NHS, Registered Social Landlords, Third Sector Groups and most importantly the Community to assist in the delivery of key objectives to promote the health and well-being of residents in Allerton & Lower Grange. 

Provided over 200,000 Meals to local residents in need and delivered over 20,000 hours of organised play and activities. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The trustees are aware of the financial situation in addition to the funding sources due to end soon. Our plans moving forward are to remap delivery to reduce expenditure and gain and/or renew funding sources from current and new providers to support operational costs. Currently we are unaware of how this may look; however funding sources will not go against our mission statement or values. 

We wish to continue to diversify funding streams to become even less reliant on single funders and ensure that all opportunities are sought and chased.

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

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £189,830, including net income of £56,016 on unrestricted funds and net income of £133,814 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

- 1 The purpose of our Reserves Policy is to: 

- Give confidence to funders by demonstrating good stewardship and financial management 

- Demonstrate the charity’s sustainability and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties 

- Give voluntary funders, such as grant-makers, an understanding of why funding is needed to undertake a particular project or activity 

- Give assurance to lenders and creditors that the charity can meet its financial commitments 

- Manage risk to the charity’s reputation from holding substantial unspent funds at the year-end without explanation 

- 2 Café West is currently dependent on donations, services and grants to sustain its activities. If these existing sources of income are depleted or lost, it is crucial to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to keep Café West running for 3 months or to allow the charity to wind up while meeting its obligation to staff and service users. The main concerns of the board are to ensure: 

- That staff can continue working 

- That staff can be supported if the charity should go through a time of financial instability 

- 3 It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain reserves sufficient to cover no less than three month’s and no more than six month’s budgeted expenditure. These reserves should be built up from the unrestricted income. 

- 4 If the charity has excess reserves then the board will consider how these funds could be best used and make this clear by designating funds for future expenditure. If this is the case then these designations and timings are included as an appendix to this policy. 

- 5 If significant resources are held in reserves then the board may consider investing some of these funds to obtain a financial return for the charity. In making these decisions, the board will consider the likelihood that some or all of the reserves held may need to be accessed at short notice. 

- 6 If the charity has excess reserves, the board will ensure that the organisation does not misrepresent the urgency or need for funds with donors. 

- 7 The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every 3 months by the Treasurer. 

- 8 This policy shall be reviewed every 3 years and whenever there are significant changes in staff hours, staff numbers or new projects. 

The charity's total reserves were £263,009, of which £162,995 relates to restricted funds. Within the remaining funds, £23,258 was the value of tangible fixed assets. This leaves a balance of £76,756 free reserves. 

Comparing this to the policy shows that the charity's actual reserves are below the policy target by almost £24,000. Our forecast for the current year shows that surpluses are currently sufficient to bring the level of free reserves up to the lower threshold of our reserves policy. We will continue to monitor the position. The trustees are aware of the financial position with the significant funding stream coming to an end in 2026. All efforts are to be made to ensure that additional funding streams and cost-saving measures are implemented, but in addition to this, staffing levels will be decreasing at stages across the years, with salaries being a significant amount. All monies held on behalf of the NHS will be spent by 31/03/2026, with the deputy manager departing at this point, A worker leaving in April, and the other in July with an additional 2 in Sept 2026 meaning our staffing costs will reduce considerably.

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

## **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 15/12/2025

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Café West 

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 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 ACCA 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.
