ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2022, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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)

1. Objectives and Activities

The objectives are ‘to promote the benefit of children, young people and families by advancing education, protecting and preserving health and relieving the effects of poverty and providing facilities for the recreation and leisure-time occupation by promoting, supporting and improving the Nunsmoor Centre.’

To this end the Trust has continued to provide specific projects: the Parent and Toddler Group has provided a valuable resource for families within the community, the need for this had increased since the reduction in the Sure Start provision within the city which is now limited to the 30% highest deprivation areas (depending on postcode) The service had to be suspended during the lockdown period of the pandemic and for sometime after the lockdown numbers were restricted due to the government’s restrictions. This facility has run alongside the Toy Library which has been further expanded during the year and loans toys and equipment for under 5s to parents and carers. It was however subject to the same restrictions due to the pandemic. The Trust also have a stock of sensory equipment, which can be borrowed by staff from other agencies supporting families who have a child with additional needs or disabilities. The Trust can also loan this equipment to families and carers where appropriate. This provision encourages local families to take home and try out toys that they would not ordinarily have access to and it encourages play and builds relationships between parents and children. The Trust is pleased to announce that both the Parent and Toddler Group and Toy Library are now back to being fully functional with restriction on numbers imposed due to Covid now removed. Demand is high and we are mindful that many babies born during the pandemic have missed out on social interaction. We are working to increase our offer to parents of babies and toddlers in response to the increased need.

The Trust has continued to work in partnership with students from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (N.E.S.T.) to provide English Conversation Classes to benefit members of the local community from different ethnic backgrounds and for whom English is not their first language. The provision had to move to online teaching during the pandemic and for the period of restrictions. The sessions, prior to the pandemic, had moved from running with a crèche facility to family learning where parents and young children have stayed together to access the classes. The classes, now offered face to face again, continue to be well attended. Feedback evidences the positive outcomes for those attending including community cohesion and inclusion, building stronger networks within the community, improving self-confidence and self-worth and empowering individuals to reach their potential. The Trust has been able to support some attendees into employment and to obtain British Citizenship. N.E.S.T. are also providing a session for older young people on a Tuesday after school time to learn Circus skills. This opportunity builds friendships, whilst the young people gain new skills including team work and learning new motor skills. It helps the young people to feel an inclusive part of the community whilst having fun.

Work has continued by the Trust to enhance community events – adding to the resources available to local families from diverse cultural backgrounds. We continue to work with families from over thirty different cultural backgrounds. We work in partnership with other local organisations to provide the best possible provision for our centre users. We were unable to host our large annual community diversity celebration event due to the situation regarding COVID 19 and government restrictions.

NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The Trust had obtained funding from Your Homes Newcastle to start a new Dementia friendly project ‘Memories through Music’ This was an exciting new area of work which was intended to bring together those living with memory problems along with their peers. In a friendly, relaxed atmosphere the group would work together to make simple instruments and then play and sing along to music which evoked memories from the past. Refreshments were provided which were chosen to stir memories – so those attending might remember them from their younger days or baking them. They might talk about their mother baking and the aim of the project was to make memories, retrieve memories and record them in ‘Memory books’ that attendees could keep. Unfortunately, this project had to go on hold when the lock down due to Covid 19 was announced and continued to be kept on hold during the restrictions. Those attending this group were vulnerable and we carefully assessed the risk posed to attendees of the pandemic and kept this under review. We are pleased to report this project has now been able to be restarted but is taking place out in the community at a sheltered housing venue rather than in the centre itself. It is well attended and proving to be of real benefit to those taking part.

The Parent and Toddler Group has continued to thrive and it is good to see Parents with babies and small children build friendships and support each other in addition to the benefits for the babies’ and toddlers’ development. We have often been able to signpost parents to other services, which are available to support them. Many of the families’ first language is not English and we can often link them in to the English Conversation Classes that we provide in conjunction with Newcastle University N.E.S.T. project. As stated previously sadly, the PATG had to be temporarily suspended due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the national lock down. We were delighted to welcome parents and their babies and young children back to the group once restrictions eased.

The Junk Music Project was set up to work with children with additional needs and disabilities alongside children without additional needs. It is very much about inclusion. It has brought together children and young people with a love of music. The project has gone from strength to strength and has continued to be supported by music students from Newcastle University working alongside a music facilitator. The outcomes for everyone taking part have been hugely positive developing self-worth and self-confidence, concentration, working as a team, listening skills, building new friendships and an improved sense of wellbeing. We had secured a large grant from Youth Music to facilitate two years of Accredited Music Workshops run in courses of eight-week sessions culminating in appropriate performances at the end of each course to showcase the young people’s work and achievements. The project had to stop face-to-face delivery due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The facilitators were able to continue provision by providing videos of ‘mini builds’ which could be accessed via the Junk Music Facebook page, the Nunsmoor Centre Trust Facebook page and via U tube during lock down. This project is now at an end but consultation workshops have taken place over the Summer period to ascertain the best way to take this work forward. The decision made was that it will continue as part of our Weekend Play provision and will help to build on skills and achievements of our young people.

The facilitation of the Access Fund on behalf of Newcastle City Council, by the Trust, has continued with the contract being extended. These awards (up to £500) help to empower children and young people with additional needs and disabilities to undertake activities within their community. Our continued involvement in this initiative has added to the inclusivity of the clientele of the centre by local people with diverse needs and familiarising them with what the centre has to offer. It has been good to see some of these children and young people become involved in activities that the Trust can offer, such as Junk Music and the Summer Weekend Play Project. Through this work, we have become increasingly aware of their needs and this continues to inform and shape our forward planning. The Access Panel awarded 173 grants to children and young people this year. 116 were male and 55 were female. Recipients came from eleven ethnic backgrounds. Two grants were made to organisations supporting children and young people with additional needs and disabilities were also awarded. This increased the numbers benefitting from the funding considerably. Obviously there have been difficulties with access to venues and activities due to Covid and the challenges this has brought but

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

slowly things have become more available. We have provided a considerable amount of extra support to families, children and young people to help them in to activities and to overcome the additional challenges and difficulties of the pandemic.

The Trust had continued to facilitate the Sports Connect contract for Newcastle City Council until September 2021. This work was very much about inclusion and helps children and young people with additional needs and disabilities to become involved in mainstream ‘sporting activities’ within their local community. This project had been ongoing. Feedback from the children, young people, their families and the sports organisations engaged in the project is extremely positive. The Family Support Sports Inclusion Worker had continued to work very closely with our team with regular supervision and feedback to the Board until his resignation due to personal circumstances. We await to hear if a new contract from Newcastle City Council will be offered for the Trust to take this work forward but currently no decision about the future of this service has been made by Newcastle City Council.

The Summer Weekend Working Project was run for a three month period in 2021, despite there still being some pandemic restrictions in place (due to number restrictions within the Newcastle City Council venue.) Our Play Rangers engaged with approximately eight hundred children and young people in the 0 – 12 age range (along with their families) Attendees again came from over thirty different cultural backgrounds. Sessions were both diverse and inclusive; children of all abilities were welcomed warmly. Parents welcomed a safe, welcoming space for their children to play, to engage in physical activity, to take part in games and arts and crafts. New friendships were formed, new skills learned and children benefited enormously from the outdoor activities.

This Summer we also provided activities on two weekdays each week of the Summer school holiday period as part of a ‘Summer of Fun’ Activities includes Animal Antics, Hoola Hoop sessions, Songwriting, Puppetry etc. Packed lunches were provided which helped to support families, especially those on low income and in receipt of free school meals. These activities were warmly received and appreciated by families who attended.

We obtained funding through the Community Foundation to be able to run Sunday Play sessions all year round,these have provided a safe, inclusive space for children to play during colder months. Each Sunday an additional activity to the normal offer has been available including Breakdancing, Wire Play, Junk Music, Science Buddies and Hattricks Football sessions. The sessions are hugely popular and well received by the community.

We were able to provide a Winter Festival at the end of 2021 as restrictions regarding numbers of people gathering together had been reviewed. It was a happy and joyful occasion of the community coming together.The large outdoor Christmas Tree was provided and we held a ‘ switching on of the Christmas lights ceremony’ which the community love, with seasonal music, wreath making and crafts. The children love to see Santa switch on the lights and welcome in the build up to the seasonal festivities..

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2016 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Nunsmoor Centre Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In particular, the trustees considered how planned activities would contribute to the aims and objectives they had set.

2. Achievements and Performance

To achieve our aims and objectives the Trustees have successfully provided:

The Trust has three key holders for the centre. This enables us to provide more ‘out of hours’ activities during the evenings and weekends. We are able to support other organisations and groups to make use of the centre for their activities and meetings. For example the weekly Judo club, Circus Skills workshops, Drumming for young people etc.

any of our activities are achieved through partnership working with other organisations; this ensures that we provide the best possible range of activities for the community that we serve.

The trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of the public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above.

3. Plans for Future Periods

The Trustees future planning has been informed by a Review and Planning Event Day this has been built on through continued consultation and review with our clientele. We are ever mindful of the continued strains upon the City Council. Our concern continues to focus on ensuring that the centre remains a community facility in the future. To this ends we developed a Project Brief and are actively seeking funding to identify a clear future path for the centre and the Trust’s role in its future. It is anticipated that Newcastle City Council will retain the building but that the Trust will take on a lease to manage the programme of activities and services taking place within the building and that we will work in partnership with Children and Families Newcastle to enhance the offer to the local community in the Inner West of Newcastle upon Tyne. The provision of a lease to manage the programme of activities from the building has been agreed in principle and is now going through the legalities.

As mentioned, we are actively seeking funds to continue the work we are already undertaking and to look at what we can practically develop in response to identified local need. We remain open minded as to what we, as an organisation, may need to consider but we are excited and eager to work with partners to provide the projects, activities and services identified as needs of the community we serve. We review the position regularly as we forward plan.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the financial statements of Nunsmoor Centre Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2 Basis of accounting

2.1 Basis of preparation

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 accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Nunsmoor Centre Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £23,570 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.

In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

3 Income

3.1 Recognition of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

3.2 Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.

3.3 Grants and donations

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

11

NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

3.4 Donated goods and services

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.

3.5 Volunteer help

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

3.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

3.7 Income from membership subscriptions

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies.

Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.

3.8 Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

3.9 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

4 Expenditure and liabilities

4.1 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

12

NUNSMOOR CENTRE TRUST

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

4.2 Charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of project activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

4.3 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

4.4 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

4.5 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

4.6 Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

5 Assets

5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Office and computer equipment Straight line over four years

The charity does not currently have any tangible fixed assets.
