To relieve those in need and to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society - "Socially excluded" means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically deprived community - by undertaking charitable activities which assist those by reason of their age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

## **The charity's main activities** 

To carry on activities which benefit the community and in particular (without limitation) to contribute to the social, environmental and economic well-being of the people of South Leeds by setting up not for profit social enterprise businesses with environmental and social aims which offer work opportunities to people with 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

We would like to thank our donors for their kind donations of the past year. Even though many of our donors have been struggling in the cost of living crisis we have sill received a large number of generous furniture donations. We continue to provide free collection of quality used furniture, helping people de-clutter their houses, dispose of “old“ things when they are buying new, or find a home for a deceased relative's treasured possessions. The cost-of-living crisis has seen an increase demand for our furniture as the public has become more price aware and have switched from new items to buying used items. 

Over the past year we have seen an increase in the number of people with learning disabilities wanting to come of placement in our shops or café. Our beneficiaries have continued to see their confidence and social skills grow whilst they develop work-based skills in a real workplace environment.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

We are also grateful to Leeds City Council Waste Management, who encourage us to collect from the Holmewell Road Waste Sorting Site in Middleton. We would also like to thank all the funders that have provided us with grants over the last 12 months. 

The Feel Good Café, which operates in Gipton, has seen strong growth during the cost of living crisis. The café provides a warm space and affordable warm meals. This has been valued during a time when people are struggling with the cost of food and the energy costs to cook that food. The café allows us to offer training and volunteering in catering to adults with learning disabilities as well as our original offering within the furniture shops. 

In response to rising inflation SLATE was able to offer an additional pay rise to staff to help them deal with inflation and their increased living costs. SLATE is proud that its strong financial position meant that it was able to do this. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £89,348, including net income of £90,791 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £1,443 on restricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserve funds to cover between 3 and 6 months operating expenditure. This would equate to approximately £140k to £280k 

The charity's total reserves at the year end were £518,803, all relating to unrestricted funds. After excluding tangible fixed assets of 13,560, the remaining free reserves were 505,243. 

The trustees wish to hold higher reserves than the policy to hedge against increasing operating costs and inflation and general economic uncertainty. The charity will be reducing its reserves when it replaces its current vehicles at the end of their operating life. The trustees believe this will be within the next 12 months. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

SLATE is adjusting to increase in operating costs by reviewing its pricing structure as well as trying to continue to control its costs. This is work that SLATE will continue in the coming year. We hope that this will allow us to offer more training, employment and volunteering opportunities to people with learning disabilities and other difficulties. The SLATE team has worked tirelessly over the past few years to secure our financial stability and we will continue to do so to ensure we can continue to support our local communities.

## **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.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of South Leeds Alternative Trading Enterprise Limited 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

## **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** 

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies. 

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.
