## **Achievements and performance**
In 2023/24 Left Bank has continued to establish itself as a popular place for community, creative activities, gigs, performances and activities as well as a venue for weddings, private and corporate parties. Leeds 2023 Year of Culture brought further arts-funded performances and celebrations to Left Bank enhancing the existing program with creatives from across the UK performing for the first time in front of a Leeds audience.
Headline events for the year have included hosting schools poetry awards, Kings Coronation community party, The Lost Girls . event for women with ADHD, Doc Club screenings and panel discussions with Candour TV, Leeds Poetry Festival, Events and exhibition for Black History Month and book launches and event in partnership with Pluto Press. Community activities, including Family Discos, Big Free Community Discos, Junk Yard Sales, Culture Club, Night Markets and all in-house seasonal activities have provided popular accessible activities for a wide range of community members to enjoy together and support for local artists and makers.
Left Bank provides free access to a daytime café space to the community, established as a valuable place for the local community to meet, work and study as well as a popular place for local organisations to host groups, meetings and client 121s. We are a ‘warm space’ where local people can access a PAYF hot meal, charging facilities and access to sign-posting and free activities. Also widely recognised as a ‘safe space’, Left Bank is a place where everyone feels included and accepted. Many of our groups and activities have developed this year including the community veg growing project, providing space for local people without access to private outdoor space, helping them to grow their own vegetables, this has been supported by funding to purchase materials, deliver workshops and provide training for volunteers. Left Bank’s garden is a ‘pocket park’ and accessed by local residents all year long. We continue to offer weekly activities including OWLs Older Persons Art Group, Life Drawing with Assembly House, Yoga, Seasonal family and children’s activities and workshops in many creative and arts disciplines.
We have a number of volunteers supporting regular groups and events and have provided valuable work experience in partnership with Leeds City College and West Oaks School in the daytime café for 3 young people this year. We work with Sheffield University TAP (Transforming and activating Places) Programme and provided two placements for students to engage in the delivery of the community arts programme, continued to host regular family hip hop sessions and delivered Healthy Holiday sessions for families in receipt of Free School Meals engaging them in fun creative and outdoors activities.
Left Bank continues to hold a key strategic role within the neighbourhood, through a variety of local groups including the Headingley Town Team and the Neighbourhood Forum and importantly working together with and supporting local organisations to thrive.
We have installed a disabled portaloo adjacent to the building as a temporary solution to provide wheelchair accessible toilet facilities ahead of much needed development to our grade II* listed former church building.
This year we have also carried out drainage works paid for via our building’s insurance. We have also invested in an electrical upgrade this year and repaired some damage to internal toilet walls. Lighting has been gradually upgraded to address failing equipment throughout the year. This year we installed two vintage caravans into our garden to create space for quiet reflection or privacy when needed. Significant exhibitions this year have included Dawn Woolly, Joanna Jowett and Leeds Jazz Festival.
Faith-based activities included a visit from Amos Trust in November 2023 raising humanitarian issues in Palestine and Israel. Seasonal activities for families and local people at Easter and Christmas including arts and craft activities, film showings, Santa's grotto and community get-togethers like Breakfast with Santa. We have hosted gospel choirs and popular singalongs Sing for your Supper and Christmas by Candlelight.
We have continued to navigate significant challenges posed by both the energy crisis and the cost-of-living crisis, in September 2023 we recognised a higher demand for Left Bank as a warm and generous space alongside rising costs and the reduction of spending within both our café and events. We have adapted quickly, reviewing costs throughout the organisation, making cuts to both services and staffing to navigate the current climate whilst continuing to support the wider community and provide excellent customer service to all our customers.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Achievements and performance continued**
Our subsidiary Left Bank CIC has had an increase in total income matched by an increase in expenditure. This year 2023/24 (£635,143 as compared to £613,025). It is reporting a small loss of £1,451 for the year to 31 March 2024, however costs of £5,505 are included, which relate to the previous year. The CIC generated a very small profit, and is continuing to explore ways of growing this.
External bookings including weddings and receptions are a major source of the CIC’s income and bookings are made up to three years in advance, providing surety in income in future years. At the start of each year a % increase is added to hire fees to account for rising costs and overheads. We continue to balance the needs of our community carefully against the need to provide a competitive offer for new and existing commercial customers, ensuring value for money is achieved across all activities.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £16,463.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity has a policy of reserving £10,000. The reserves are held to restructure the delivery of our charitable projects in the event that our subsidiary would be unable to continue facilitating our work.
The group had unrestricted net current liabilities of £22,603.
## **Going concern**
At the time of signing these accounts, the Charity continues to make good progress in terms of recovery after the pandemic and within a current cost-of-living crisis. Aware of CC guidance for charities with relationships with non-charitable entities, trustees are actively monitoring the performance of the charity’s own wholly owned subsidiary and its contract with a third-party supplier of services.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **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 17/12/2024

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Left Bank Leeds Charitable Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
## **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.

## Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Grants payable with performance conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
## **Grants payable without performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

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 £12,000 (2023: £5,250) and incurred premises overhead recharges of £14,375 (2023: £24,745).
Balances outstanding owed to the CIC were £13,260 (2023:£9,164).
