Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2024 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 Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the 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) issued in October 2019.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association, which were adopted 19 June 2012 and updated on 7 July 2012 and revised again on 7[th] November 2017. The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.

The full Board of Trustees and the Funding & Finance Group (FFG) met monthly throughout the year. We held an AGM in October 2023. Fifty-four people including Board Members, partner organisations, user groups, staff, volunteers and local people attended. Our Christmas outing in December was a chance to thank Board members, volunteers and staff and for fruitful networking.

In January 2024 we began a process of refreshing our structures, embarking on a series of “special” board meetings to discuss how all Board Members – not just the officers - might take a more proactive role. From summer 2024 we will have fewer full Board meetings and more sub-groups overseeing the staff, building, IT and various projects.

Appointment of trustees

Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are appointed under the terms of the governing document. Potential Board members observe meetings prior to joining. New Board members receive a comprehensive induction pack and individual support as needed from existing Board members.

During this year, three Board members resigned – Prof Ian Cooke, Sausan Sawaf and Andrew Woodhead. We thank them for their contributions. Our new Board member, Tesfe Teferi, is the buildings manager at St Andrew’s church and brings valuable insights and a link to a neighbouring facility. We want to appoint some new members and will identify specific skill sets and reach out to younger people. It is important that our Board is representative of local people and of frequent users of the Centre.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Charity are:

The Charity operates a community centre which is available to hire by groups and individuals. It also applies for grants and raises funds to run its own activities.

The Broomhall Centre

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The activities run by the Broomhall Centre itself are focussed on education and health promotion and reach dozens of young people and vulnerable women and men. The Centre’s facilities are also used by others for a range of public and private activities, with hundreds of beneficiaries a year. Over the last year, all our activities and the number of bookings have increased: we are serving a greater number and wider range of people than in previous years.

The Centre is also a hub for cooperation between local agencies and for engaging people in existing and new projects. Including the Board members, we have a dozen volunteers involved in running the centre, and many more helping with activities, whether regular groups (e.g. Women’s Health sessions, the Homework Club) or once off events. In this way, the Broomhall Centre contributes to a sense of community and cohesion within the diverse area of Broomhall.

Achievements during the year 2023 - 24

The building

The Broomhall Centre is far more than a building, but we see maintaining a secular space, accessible both physically and financially to local people and others from further afield as a key role. Renting out the building also provides us with our main income. As the Centre has become busier, keeping up with repairs, maintenance, improvements, cleaning and waste removal has become more onerous.

Sheffield City Council (SCC) owns the building and continues to maintain it. They do essential repairs and oversee our health and safety and fire compliance. Our Centre Manager maintains good communication with the community buildings team and individual maintenance officers. SCC is undertaking a city-wide review of community buildings and, until this is completed, will not commit to major improvements or a programme of redecoration. For the moment, we are relying on an existing management agreement. SCC have suggested using the Broomhall Centre as a case study and we hope that we can act as a positive example of how a charity can enhance the Council’s work, making their investment in the building worthwhile. Despite the current policy vacuum, senior officers have worked with us to:

Other improvements to the building during the year included:

In terms of IT, we continue to update our equipment and software using various gifts and grants (Digital Access and Masons) and unrestricted funds:

Bookings

The lifeblood of the Broomhall Centre is booking it out to individuals and groups. Many of these events are open to the public and run by organisations who have become partners. As stated above, we run some activities ourselves, but by providing an affordable, accessible community space we enable others to add to a very full programme.

In summary, as of March 2024, we had over 30 sessions of regular activities booked into the weekly calendar . Some of these are only monthly but there were also other block bookings fitted around them, notably school holiday camps run by Link Learning. Between April 2023 and March 2024, we also accommodated over 90 once-off events . Even more impressive than the number of bookings is the range of activities , from private parties to religious celebrations and educational/political meetings. Bookings come from local individuals through to charities and businesses and those booking the Centre represent at least twenty-five different ethnicities . This is a conservative estimate as we don’t insist on recording ethnicity at booking – and of course individual attendees will be even more diverse.

All this happens when the rentable space consists of just one medium size hall, two smaller rooms and a kitchen. We do not have a caretaker: users let themselves in and out with a fob, taking responsibility for removing waste, cleaning and locking up after themselves. Juggling so many bookings and keeping the Centre in good working order with such heavy usage is a huge job and our success is testament to our Centre Manager, Rafik Al Sakkaf and our cleaner, Patrick McLeod. It also reflects the willingness of user groups to care for Centre (leaving it as they found it) and to be tolerant of overlaps and occasional error/misuse.

Repeat (block) bookings

In addition to the weekly/monthly timetable as set out below, there are some frequent users who our manager fits in, sometimes by asking other regular groups to move or cancel their session. During 2023-24, these included:

Once-off bookings

These include private parties, fundraisers, political, cultural, educational and physical activities. Those categories often overlap and there is a core of users who make serial or frequent bookings so counting is difficult, but the following gives a flavour of the number and range of events and the different ethnicities who use the Centre.

12 Iftah and Eid meals/parties including for Indonesian, Malaysian, Turkish, Eritrean, Asian, Libyan, and a human rights group

6 Christian celebrations (Easter, Christmas, New Year) including for African, Filipino, Indian, Caribbean groups

5 other religious/cultural celebrations including Onam, Diwali, lunar year (Taiwanese & Hong Kongers), Iraqi festival

4 wedding and newborn celebrations (Yemeni, Syrian, Bangladeshi, Iraqi)

15 private parties, mostly birthdays (from children to 80[th] ) and a couple for graduation

5 fundraisers including for the University RAG, Hunters Bar School, Moroccan earthquake, Gaza

17 community/cultural events including committee-style meetings for an ethnic minority group to muster support for themselves (we often do not charge for the initial meetings until they have found funding) and whole-day celebratory events such as fashion shows, food bazaars, carnivals. Bookings came from the following ethnicities: Kurdish, Kuwaitee (Bidoun stateless people), Ethiopian, Caribbean, Sudanese, Hong Kongers, Malaysian, Indonesian, Nigerian, White British church groups.

11 Conferences/educational events including launching reports and a book, film-showing/making and covering topics such as immigration, poverty, food, accessing higher education. The bookings were by the hospital trust, the university, employers, SMEs and assorted charities.

3 sport/dance activities (several bookings each): Sabre cats cheerleaders (a university society); Capoeira dance/martial arts (a start-up which sadly didn’t become viable); Ceilidhs and dances often with workshops (Eurosession and the Scratch Ceilidh)

12 political events organised by a range of political parties and organisations. An Indonesian group ran a meeting in support of the elections back home and the Hong Kongers campaigned about their situation. There were also meetings organised by local city councillors and officers: the Friends of Broomhall group, the Local Area Committee’s roadshow and the use of the hall as a polling station.

1 business start-up: a woman booked the kitchen to make (Nigerian style) ready-meals but the business didn’t take off and she only came for a couple of sessions.

Long-term booking

We continue to rent the upstairs room (office) to Link Learning, a small business which delivers music and arts tutoring to schools. They run a regular Healthy Holidays programme and, in December 2022, when Emily Hearne left, we contracted with them to run the Homework Club.

Activities run by Broomhall Centre

Support@BroomhallCentre

Our biggest achievement during 2023-24 was setting up an advice service funded by Cadent Gas. Cadent calls its community partners “Centres for Warmth” and they are funded in turn by Ofgem setting aside money to support people having difficulty with their energy bills. Cadent has clear outcomes relating to advice given and a calculation of money saved/social good accruing but is otherwise very open in the way their projects are run. Following an approach from Cadent in January 2023, we began negotiations and by July we had signed a two-year contract with Cadent, subcontracted with Citizens Advice Sheffield (CAS) to run two sessions a week and employed two support workers, Kate Hobbs and Abdi Ahmed to act as outreach workers. They facilitate the use of the Community Access Point (CAP), which allows people to meet a dedicated CAS worker via a zoom link.

The Broomhall Centre

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

Thanks to the generous funding and flexibility from Cadent, the experience and professionalism of CAS and the hard work, enthusiasm and local knowledge and contacts of our outreach workers, the project has been a huge success. We have met Cadent’s targets. The headline statistics for the year ending July 2024 are as follows:

Beyond these figures is the way in which the Support@BroomhallCentre project has enhanced and amplified the other activities run by ourselves and our partners, so that the Centre has become a place where people with financial, social and (mental) health needs can find help. There is constant crossfertilisation between the various projects, for instance:

Kate created a newsletter advertising activities at the Centre which we had delivered in the local area and is available for anyone using the Centre. This has led to people attending seemingly unrelated activities, for instance the church groups and yoga meditation, using or even volunteering at our “provided” services.

Other sessions run by the Broomhall Centre

As explained above, the Board raises funds and takes responsibility for providing some sessions of its own employing staff, some of them on a sessional basis and/or supervising volunteers.

The Broomhall Centre

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

Sessions run by outside groups

We have looser relationships with many other users, for instance Target Housing , which runs drop-in sessions for homeless people and with open sessions such as Yoga, Samba, fund-raising Ceilidhs and political events. Our hope is that anyone booking or just coming to the Centre will see it not only as a hall but as a doorway to a range of opportunities for engagement. This is enabled by notice boards, leaflets and above all by the inclusive approach of our Centre Manager and availability of our Activities Facilitator and Board members to cement links.

In conclusion, the Broomhall Centre is once again a “community centre” in the wider sense. It has moved from being primarily a place to hire with some additional provided activities, to a place where people with many different needs can find help. This is a source of pride for Board members, staff, volunteers and users but it is challenging. We have had to adjust policies and practices and develop more robust means of communication within and beyond the organisation. The sheer busy-ness and wear and tear on the facilities means constant “housekeeping” in terms of relationships and practical issues. There is a risk that we don’t make time to think strategically. It is good that, as we have moved into a new phase, the Board has set about re-organising itself and remains open to new ways of working and fresh ideas.

Paid workers and volunteers

This year has seen an increase in the number and hours of paid workers reflecting the increased complexity of our offer. We have given pay rises to all our paid staff and sessional workers are on at least minimum wage.

8

The Broomhall Centre

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

We have also had more volunteers than ever contributing to the work of the Broomhall Centre. There have been over 90 individuals in our own projects about 30 in partner projects (Foodcycle and S6 Foodbank). This is without counting the volunteers who contribute to occasional events like fundraisers and political/campaigning meetings booked at the Centre. Many volunteers have made the transition from service user to helper and for some it has been a way into paid work either at the Centre or elsewhere.

The Broomhall Centre

Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) For the year ended 31 March 2024

Our partner Foodcycle (free Wednesday lunch) also relies on volunteers. The lead host is Mary Wilton and the lead cooks are Kate Connery and Millie Beck. They are assisted by a dozen volunteers who sign up to slots on a weekly basis. The S6 Foodbank also has about fifteen volunteers at each weekly session.

Funding and support

In very general terms, our rental income continues to cover the salaries of our Centre Manager and Cleaner and our utility bills. We are clear that activities – such as Support@BroomhallCentre advice sessions, Homework Club, Women’s Health sessions and Welcome space, cannot happen without additional funding (and that funding should include rent for use of the Centre). We don’t have enough income to subsidise them. We are therefore grateful for the following grants and donations:

Going Concern Review

This year has seen significantly increased centre usage. Both Broomhall Centre managed projects and independent bookings have been increasing. Centre managed projects are all fully funded and contribute appropriately to centre running costs (through rent). The centre is better off than we have been for many years both with restricted funds and general funds.

We have continued our modernisation, replacing windows and updating our website and increasing use of social media.

During 2023-24 financial year we entered into an initial two-year contract with Cadent to supply welfare advice. This is generating an additional £50k income each year and is attracting many people to the centre.

We can confidently say we are in a very good position to consider The Broomhall Centre is a going concern.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have made a commitment to maintain reserves equivalent to 6 months of expenditure and closure costs, from unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible assets. This would be approximately £30,000. As of 31 March 2024 our free reserves (unrestricted current assets) were £62,519 (2023: £51,426).

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Broomhall Centre

Notes to the Accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting Policies

(a) General

The Broomhall Centre is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and with the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The Broomhall Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

(b) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Rental income is accounted for in the year it is due. Investment income is included when receivable.

(c) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

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

(d) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are either donations which the donor has specified are to be used solely for particular areas of the charity's work or grant income sought for specific activities.

(e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off cost of those assets , less their residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Improvements to Leasehold property - 5 years straight line IT equipment - 3 years straight line

(f) Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

(g) Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
