Aims and objectives
Summary of the main achievements during the period
This year there have been a number of achievements. Despite some financial constraints we have successfully delivered more projects than before.
-
1) Service user has capacity increased we have over 200 new services users participating or engaging in our activities.
-
2) There is a continued majority of more young people engaged from projects in schools and other community centres.
-
3) Over 1000 service users have come into contact with SHAPE-UK LTD.
-
.
-
4) Since 2014 we have worked with the Armed Forces. This year progress has still been gradual but continues to improve.
-
5) We continue to enjoy our partnership with the Armed Forces (AF). In particular our local AF unit 4 Brigade (North-East) at Catterick who provide volunteers to deliver character and team building activities

-
6) We continue to work with partners such as Bradford Council and Education Bradford.
-
7) This year we have been successful in establishing the Bradford Commonwealth War Memorial for the Commonwealth contribution. SHAPE-UK’s Director Naz Hussain initiated and coordinated this project over the last almost 7 years. With permission being granted for the establishment of the War memorial in November 2021. This has opened opportunities to other large projects especially within diversity, inclusion and engagement prospects as well as in the field of recognition in respect of war memorials.
-
8) We have continued to bring in successful funding and have secured further funding and contracts building on the success of previous project delivery. This has been a good result from the committee members and maintaining contact with Bradford Community Voluntary Sector Services who partners who we can network with to deliver our service and even more confidence from the community.
Positive work and good publicity are being maintained we have had 2 new volunteers coming to work with SHAPE-UK that has benefited us in accommodating the rising demand of our services and we continue networking with more organisations to deliver joint community projects. Although we aim to do bring in more staff and income to satisfy the needs of an ever increasing number of service users due to the austerity measures and rising cost of living. Through the contracts we have gained we hope to be employing more full-time staff to deliver our community projects.
Additional Notes pertaining to Accounts:
These accounts were prepared with the grants and contributions that were offered and agreed with funders. This is the first year since the damaging impact of COVID 19 that we have been able to provide more services and save funds that could be employed elsewhere for emergencies. Income generation has improved but is continuously followed by expenditure.

Notes to the Accounts
SHAPE-UK LTD is not currently operating at a level of financial activity that requires statutory external audit or the preparation of accounts in a prescribed format. As such, the Company is under no legal obligation to subject its accounts to external scrutiny.
However, in the interests of good governance, transparency, and ethical best practice, the Management Committee has voluntarily arranged for the accounts to undergo an independent external review by a suitably qualified community organisation.
These accounts have been prepared from the books, records, information, and explanations provided by SHAPE-UK LTD. The review procedures undertaken do not constitute an audit and therefore do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a statutory audit. Nevertheless, the independent reviewers have confirmed that, in their opinion, the accounts present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position for the period under review, limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
Statement
No matters have come to the attention of the reviewers that give reasonable cause to believe:
-
That, in any material respect, the requirement to keep proper accounting records or to prepare accounts consistent with those records has not been met; or
-
That any matter should be drawn to the attention of users of these accounts in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements.
Special Circumstances
None.
Accounting Period
These accounts relate to the accounting period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 , during which SHAPE-UK LTD received funding from various funders. The accounts were independently reviewed and ratified, as noted above, prior to submission as the final accounts for the stated period.
