THE ENTERPRISE CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025 eee
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Chief Executive Overview
And here we are again, another year older and hopefully wiser. This year was memorable as it was our 10-year anniversary since the doors opened and we hosted an event which was visited by approximately 400 local residents. We had lots of fun activities, family games, bouncy castle and a brilliant Tombola. The event raised £548 for the cause. We tagged on my 65" anniversary, though don't be fooled by numbers, | won't be retiring. We were also invited to speak at the local Rotary group telling them the story of how we came to be. This resulted in them donating £500 and purchasing 2 multi seating benches for our community gardens worth another £600. St James Foundation donated another £3,500 to be used as match funding for our young people’s activities and a new company, AAB, donated £1,300 also to match against children’s activities.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority / Workers Education Association invited us to a closed bidding round to repeat the work we completed earlier in the year. We were happy to oblige and have already run 2 new programmes - one in partnership with ELR helping their staff secure permanents jobs and one women only project which was great. This secured another £19,600 to the organization and the project will finish in January 2026.
Our Alternative Provision has gone from strength and so we have recruited 2 new PT staff through our safer recruitment practice. One has years of experience working in special schools, probation and more recently in an SMEH school. The other is a qualified British Horse Society teacher and is now undertaking her Teaching Assistant Level 2. The additional staff have provided a new diversity that helps us to meet our students’ needs. This September we start our academic year almost full. As always, we stay small and beautifully formed, and we do not want more than 5 young people in on any 1 day as this brings 5 staff also.
At the time of writing we have just received news that we were successful in securing £17,000 from TNLCF which will help us to repair the worn away boardwalk and make the community gardens a destination visit for the local community.
The community needs our services more than ever as the figures on poor mental health are at an all-time high and young women struggling to recover from the isolation and being victims of social media bullying. Young people who are not entering work or further training is at an all-time high, possibly as an impactful result from the pandemic.
We have done lots of work on our website this year, www.theenterprisecentre.co.uk, hope you the reader enjoys the new look, please send us your comments via the portal, hello@theenterprisecentre.co.uk,
The social impact of our work continues to grow incrementally, and we look forward to another positive year ahead.

Financial review At the year end, the charity had net expenditure of £3,318 (2024: net expenditure of £8,487) and held total unrestricted funds of £170,080 and restricted funds of £79,770. The free reserves of the charity stood at £72,844 (2024: £68,940) after adjusting for unrestricted funds held in fixed assets.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to approximately six months’ expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The level of reserves required to meet this would equate to around £62,500, therefore the charity are currently adhering to the policy in place.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its services and activities for its beneficiaries and includes costs that can be directly allocated to such activities, as well as those of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs are the costs of running the charity as a legal entity, and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
- 1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line and 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
1.9 Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets Basic financial assets include debtors and cash and bank balances, which are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and subsequently held at amortised cost.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
