## **Achievements and performance** 

During the year, Left Bank Leeds navigated a challenging operating environment shaped by the ongoing cost-ofliving crisis and rising operational costs. In response, the organisation took decisive action to improve financial sustainability, including reducing core team roles, tightening cost controls, improving financial management systems, and clarifying the separation of charitable and commercial activity between the CIC and the Charity. 

Despite these pressures, Left Bank continued to deliver a strong and diverse programme of arts, community and commercial activity. Our own charitable events included: Big Doodle fostering social connection and creativity, markets supporting new and emerging artists, alternative Freshers’ events for students new to the area, talks and book launches, Christmas community activities, and inclusive celebrations, alongside exhibitions and a major retrospective of Leeds-based artist Philip Naviasky. The space remained a vital hub for weddings, markets, performances, talks and community gatherings welcoming thousands of visitors across the year. 

Financially, the charity’s subsidiary CIC achieved periods of operational profit through cost reductions, additional fundraising and strong commercial bookings, although café operations recorded a significant loss. Progress was made in stabilising long-term finances, including beginning repayment of a longstanding heating loan, managing loan repayments, and improving budgeting, reporting and governance processes in collaboration with trustees and external advisers. Trustees have continued to closely monitor the financial position of the charity and its subsidiary and increased the regularity of meetings between both boards. 

The organisation strengthened its focus on sustainability and engagement, developing customer and serviceuser feedback, working with the University of Leeds on environmental sustainability, expanding marketing reach, and increasing student and community engagement through targeted campaigns. Support for local talent, artists and makers remained central to our mission. 

Looking ahead, trustees and management have agreed that 2025/26 will be a year of transition, focused on rebuilding reserves, strengthening governance and financial systems, sustaining core arts and community activity, and developing a longer-term strategic vision to secure Left Bank’s future as an inclusive, creative and financially resilient community asset. 

Our subsidiary Left Bank CIC has had a decrese in total income matched by a decrease in expenditure. This year 2024/25 (£500,982 as compared to £635,143). It is reporting a small deficit of £5,377 for the year to 31 March 2025. 

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 £8,969, being net income of £6,407 on restricted funds and net expenditure of £15,376 on unrestricted funds. 

## **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 total unrestricted liabilities of £92,010 at the year end, of which £43,520 was long term liabilities, leaving unrestricted net current liabilities of £48,490. 

## **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 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 22/12/2025

## 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 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 15. 

## **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 2025 

## **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.

## **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.
