West Bowling Youth Initiative

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To act as a resource for young people aged 8-25 living in West Bowling, Bradford, by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of: a) Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.

b) Advancing education.

c) Relieving unemployment.

d) Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

The charity's main activities

West Bowling Youth Initiative offers resources for young people through education, employment and volunteering opportunities. WBYI offers a range of community activities that support young people to take on new challenges, develop skills and take ownership of community based programmes. WBYI’s project workers and young volunteers enable children and young people to design and deliver community activities thereby increasing personal and social welfare of young people and residents in the BD5 and surrounding 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; relieving unemployment amongst young people and building skills and capabilities of young people through community and youth engagement programmes.

Achievements and performance

The Give Bradford programme has supported WBYI’s resilience work and future proofing throughout 202122. Key features of this work are improving the charities purpose, improving governance and developing long term goals at WBYI. Trustees and the WBYI manager have worked on a sustaining WBYI by looking to improving leadership, raising awareness of political and economic context at a local and national level. WBYI has also linked up with local partners such as Participate, BYDP, Bradford Trident to support new opportunities and potential funding streams. WBYI Trustees will review organisational aims and purposes for long term sustainability and ensure we have clear values and goals that achieve the charities purposes. WBYI will look to bring in VCS expertise to improve the senior management team whilst supporting a three year business plan.

Social enterprise support fund (SESF) – WBYI secured funds to set up a community café through the Social enterprise support fund (SESF). The project will help the charity deliver social outcomes and continue trading to raise income. The SESF programme has created a training kitchen and community café led by WBYI volunteers. The Café will support unemployed men and women to develop skills that benefit the community through a social action model. Future opportunities will include food safety training, first aid and youth leadership training in the oncoming months. The Café concept will create new programmes of work for the wider community in future years.

ESF 2 Skills for Life - The project is nearing the end after 18 months of stop and start during the Covid pandemic. WBYI have worked with 12 unemployed men and women in this period and it's been very challenging to get a flow of work during this period. Hopefully project workers can sign off this work by end of March. WBYI has seen the impact of this work by building confidence of unemployed people and some have moved into social care work whilst other have gained employment in warehouse work.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Youth Sports Development - WBYI secured funds from Awards for All and Bradford Council to focus on sports/ leisure activities after nearly two years of the Covid pandemic. This programme will enable young people to access indoor activities and offer positive sports and teamwork opportunities to engage young people to move into social activities and improve their mental health outcomes. WBYI offered youth sports volunteering activities to engage children from the BD5 area. The youth sports programme has enabled groups to plan and deliver new sports and outdoor activity through challenging new experiences.

Youth engagement programmes

· Food parcels – At Christmas 2021 supported WomenZone and Bradford Trident alongside Bradford Council to hand out food parcels in the West Bowling area to disadvantaged families through our local network. WBYI were aware a number of families were on benefits and struggling to make ends meet, and they were thankful and appreciative of the food parcels.

· Men’s health work Race Equality Network – we started in November 2021 men’s health work focusing on improving mental health amongst men in BD5. The team have set up park walks; dialogue with small groups and ongoing work to address positive mental health. The men met every Tuesday and were engaged in woodwork, tree planting and other environmental support projects.

· Kitchen cafe project – funding from Sir George Martin Trust will help to revamp the facility at BOLCC and other funds will help our effort to improve both the cellar kitchen and the serving bar to bring to modern standards. The kitchen space will be ideal for training young people and adults to learn to cook and or develop catering skills for future employment.

· Trinity College – consultation event held at Karmand Centre which involved agencies and youth workers looking to promote Higher education in the BD 3-4-5 areas. Amir Majid is the development worker for Trinity who also pencilled and planning a further event at Parkside sports centre in Spring 2022.

· WBYI and Metro Bank – a newly opened Bank in Bradford held a staff and volunteers programme at BOLCC which involved interesting team games, problem solving and enterprise exercises involving both staff and young people. The day activity was positive and was ideal for young people to learning and share ideas with professional staff.

· Shane Coope was the second Kickstart young person to be employed at WBYI. Shane started in August and had a background in gaming, IT and community work. Shane supported the team to develop new youth work plans and focused on supporting young men’s skills development. Shane completed six months and was looking to work in social or mental work and developing his wider knowledge of youth work programmes.

· Sharing Voices set up a workshop around mental health and BAME men in summer 2021. WBYI delivered a workshop with a mix of young men involved. The sessions was very engaging with a number of young men speaking about their experiences and issues of mental health in the last year. The feedback from the group was encouraging and most of the lads felt they had gained something from the discussion group.

· Sports camp days activity days were led by staff and volunteers at the cricket field in spring and summer 2021. WBYI led eight sessions over four weeks and managed to work with over 50 children. Key highlights were the Olympics themed events and different games run on the field - that were enjoyed by most of the children. We finished the summer with a circus performance which was very funny and enjoyed by everyone.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves at the year end were £24,292.

WBYI Trustees have reviewed the need for reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. WBYI needs reserves in order to:

  1. Meet redundancy liabilities should WBYI have to close;

  2. Ensure there are sufficient cash reserves in the current account to cover day to day running costs;

  3. Ensure continuity of service provision by:

  4. a. meeting unexpected costs such as cover for illness or maternity leave, etc.;

  5. b. covering running costs during periods of lower income (e.g. while adjusting to changes or following

falls in fundraising).

  1. Replace equipment as it wears out and carry out necessary repairs and maintenance at our base ;

  2. Relocate from its current location and premises

In calculating these amounts, WBYI assumes the following:

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 26/09/2022
