Left Bank is now an established venue for the delivery of funded arts activities and shows including theatre, dance and exhibitions. 

Left Bank hosted the second Leeds Poetry Festival in the summer consisting of 5 days of events and activities and talks by authors in partnership with Pluto Press. In January 2022 we hosted a quilt exhibition and worked with the local community to make a quilt for the neighbour area LS6. Pieces for the quilt were created in community workshops attended by artists and a diverse group local people of local people with broad ranging ability, age and backgrounds. Left Bank also delivered a week of event’s alongside partner organisations to celebrate and raise the profile of achievements by women including artists, musicians and poets.

Seasonal activities for families and local people at Easter and Christmas including arts and craft activities, Santa’s grotto and community get-togethers like Breakfast with Santa. 

Left Bank is continuing to develop as an important place for the community to be together, learn and celebrate. We continue to develop a key strategic role within the LS6 neighbourhood continuing to drive the completion of the Hyde Park Neighbourhood Plan, hosting and chairing community meetings and liaising with key partners. Left Bank is a member of the local Hyde Park and Headingley Town Teams for local businesses and organisations and is a key connector between creatives and the wider community. Left Bank delivers annual ‘zine’ to welcome new students to the local area, highlighting the community side to the neighbourhood and opportunities to volunteer and engage with groups and local organisations, this zine includes a map of the area designed by a different local artist each year. The local area has a large student community and Left Bank has now become an established place within the community were long term locals and students socialise and learn together which helps to improve relationships within the community where anti-social behaviour relating to differing lifestyles can cause significant tensions. At the start of the new academic year, Left Bank delivered another week of alternative fresher’s activities to welcome new residents to the area including social, well-being, arts and volunteering opportunities. Left Bank now hosts a regular programme of work experience opportunities in partnership with Leeds City College to support young people into employment. 

Left Bank is open every day as a community café, social and workspace. Offering a daily PAYF hot meal and access to free activities and device charging facilities this has fast become an important place for the community to work, meet and access free meals and facilities during the energy and cost of living crisis. The café has become an important place where all sections of the community share the place, facilities and resources together, building relationships and community relations. 

Left Bank CIC has ended this year with a small profit and continues to build its reserves. Weddings and Receptions are a major source of the CIC’s income and bookings are made up to 3 years in advance allowing for surety in income in future years. Commercial bookings have also increased for other celebrations, corporate events and gigs. An increase in hire-fee was introduced April 2022 to allow for increased fuel and supplier costs. We continue to work in a flexible way to balance responding to the needs of our community, present a competitive option for new customers and ensure value for money is achieved with our activities across the board.

## **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.

## **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** 

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.

## **10 Related party transactions** 

## **Trustee expenses** 

No trustee received any expenses during this year or the previous year. 

## **Trustee remuneration and benefits** 

No trustee received any remuneration or benefits during this year or the previous year. 

## **Loan to the charity from trustee** 

At 31 March 2023 the charity owed Helen Love (trustee) a sum of £50,000. This was in respect of a loan made by Helen to the charity at no interest. 

No repayment date has been fixed on the loan. The trustees and Helen will monitor the finances of the charity and look at repayment options on an ongoing basis. 

It is for this reason that the loan has been valued at cost as opposed to being adjusted for a market rate of interest.

The subsidiary company provided services to the charity during the year totalling £5,250 (2022: £nil) and incurred premises overhead recharges of £29,745 (2022: £16,215).
