REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the charity's financial statements for year ending 31st December 2023: these are also prepared to meet the Companies Act requirements for a director's report and accounts. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association are:

The aims of our charity are to increase the levels of social and economic integration, independence and inclusion for young people and adults with a particular focus on people with learning disabilities and the elderly.

Public benefit

The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its current and future activities to achieve those objectives and aims. The Trustees believe that the charity is creating substantial public benefit through the services and activities it provides to people with learning disabilities and older people, their support networks and the wider local community. Enabling greater independence, delivering new opportunities, supporting people in our client communities to have more fulfilled, healthier and inclusive lives as well as our work with employers, community groups, pubic bodies and local residents, provide clear and tangible public benefits, entirely in line with the charity's purpose, aims and objectives.

Our approach and values

Central in our approach to delivering our charitable objectives is the design and delivery of the highest standards of services and support for our members, clients, volunteers, customers and our local community. We recognise and value the contribution that can be made by all and are committed to treating everyone regardless of ability, age, gender, experience, status, faith or ethnic group with respect and to providing a positive, supportive and welcoming environment across all our business operations.

Our core values, informing and underpinning all that we do, are as follows:

Key achievements in 2023

In September 2023, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Outside the Box, our community café, which was the foundation of the charity, having launched in June 2013. We commemorated our first decade with a celebration and thank you event with our staff, volunteers, members, service clients, families, funders and many of the charity's supporters. This anniversary marked a huge achievement for the charity highlighting our considerable growth and impact from our small beginnings in 2013.

Other highlights of the year included:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

We deliver our purpose through a number of operations. This year, these have included:

Outside the Box Community Café

Our inclusive community café continued to make good progress within the context of post-pandemic recovery, the cost of living crisis and a turbulent national economic environment. Leveraging the potential of the new premises at The Arcade, including for events and venue hire and attracting new customers, for example to the dedicated Family Area, the café successfully increased its trading income on the prior year. The café was voted Ilkley's Best Coffee House 2023 on Restaurant Guru and maintained high customer feedback scores. Alongside this, the café continued to provide the key setting for delivery of our Working Life service, supporting adults with learning disabilities to gain work experience, employability skills and personal development.

Outside the Box Member Services

Following relocation to The Arcade in mid-2022, our member services (OTB Choices programme) expanded both its range of courses, workshops and activities as well as the number of people with a learning disability engaged and supported. Offering more opportunities for our client community to lead more independent, fulfilled and healthy lives, has continued to be a priority.

We have worked with a range of partner organisations to help us achieve this aim. For example, in partnership with Craven College we delivered Employability Skills courses and qualifications (NCFE Award in Employability Skills), with Ilkley Literature Festival we provided an inclusive 'Poetry and Pizza' Workshop and with Ilkley Live (local music festival) we created new opportunities for our members to develop and showcase their musical talents.

Our 'Working Life' and employment services provided many and diverse opportunities for our client community to improve their understanding of the world of work, develop their employability skills and gain direct experience of the workplace. People with a learning disability face multiple barriers in trying to get paid work: these include a lack of understanding of what people with a learning disability can do with the right support; employers' attitudes and concerns; and inadequate good quality support. Our services, and work with employers, are designed to help break down these barriers so that our members and clients who wish to get paid employment are supported to do so. The year saw more of our client community achieve their employment ambitions and more employers coming on board with our inclusive employment activities.

"I would never have thought about employing a person with a learning disability before talking to OTB about it and now I think everyone should do it!"

Carers and Companions

Through this wholly owned and controlled subsidiary business, we deliver homecare and support to elderly people and people with health conditions, physical and learning disabilities. During 2023 we continued to build on our Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated 'outstanding' care quality and market-leading reputation, delivering excellent care and support to those in need in our local community. Our team of highly committed and skilled Community Carers provided much valued care and support to many elderly people, enabling them to continue living in their own homes as independently and healthily as possible. We had consistently positive feedback from our clients, and their families, on the quality and reliability of our service, with 98% reporting that they would recommend Carers and Companions to others.

Over the course of 2023 there continued to be significant growth in our Independent Living Services (ILS), as our reputation for high quality home and community support for adults with a learning disability became known to more families and parents/carers. Our ILS team of Support Workers provided home and community support to clients, helping them to move into and thrive in their own supported independent living homes, pursue their life goals and be active, safe and involved in an extensive range of community activities.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

We plan to continue to provide excellent service and new opportunities for our members, clients, customers and wider community. Fully harnessing the potential of our flagship premises, expanding our service delivery to meet identified need, maintaining the highest levels of quality to enable our clients to have the best possible lives and maintaining our reputation as a trusted, high quality provider and valued community asset, are all central priorities in our future plans. Developing our workforce so that we have the right breadth, depth and mix of skills and expertise to achieve our future priorities and continuing to engage and support community volunteers will be key areas of focus. We will maintain, and where possible strengthen, our financial health and sustainability including through rigorous budget management, strong governance and a proactive approach to income growth and diversification, enabling us to meet our ambitions to positively change of the lives of the people we serve.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Our staff team

Over the period we have continued to develop our workforce, taking proactive measures to recruit, retain and support the employees we need to deliver our vision and business objectives. We grew our staff team, creating new employment opportunities linked to our service expansion. We also introduced an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to provide free to access advice, information and counselling for all our employees.

We thank all our employees for their continued commitment and contribution to the work of the charity.

Our volunteers

Both the COVID pandemic and cost of living crisis have adversely affected the levels of formal volunteer involvement not just in our organisation but in the charity sector as a whole. Re-engaging and retaining volunteers has continued to be priority for us and over the year we have seen a steady increase in our community volunteer team. We remain deeply appreciative of the time and support given to us by this team and ran a number of volunteer networking, training and thank you events to reflect this.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Review

The charitable group, through the meticulous management of our cashflow, substantial success in securing grant and other funding and continuing service delivery through Outside the Box and Carers and Companions, generated a surplus on unrestricted funds. Net consolidated surplus for the year was £63,478, representing a surplus of £91,857 on unrestricted funds and deficit of £28,379 on restricted funds, albeit this latter related to the use of brought forward funds. Unrestricted reserves were £209,041 at the year end.

The major expenditure of the charity related to: the operation of Outside the Box (Café, Working Life and Choices) and service delivery by Carers and Companions.

Principal funding sources

The main income streams for the charity comprised: trading income from OTB café; fee income for OTB member services; grant funding; and service income generated by Carers and Companions. Other income was from a number of sources including corporate and individual donations.

Investment policy and objectives

Aside from retaining a prudent level of reserves each year, the charity's funds will be invested in activities to further the objects as set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Board is committed to reinvesting any surplus funds and will on an annual basis, as part of business planning, review the charity's investment priorities and agree relevant investments to meet identified needs and opportunities aligned to our objects.

Reserves policy

The charity implements a reserves policy, agreed by the Board, that addresses the main risks to the organisation, and ensures that unrestricted funds and operating surpluses are maintained at a sufficient level to enable activities to be continued at a sustainable level in the event of significant changes in our operations. The Trustees, taking account of Charity Commission guidance, their estimate of a reasonable period of trading costs, potential wind-up costs, operations and the charity's assets, have set a minimum reserves threshold of £60,000.

In line with our loan agreement with The Charity Bank, we retain a designated £15,000 in a Charity Bank account.

Going concern

The Trustees and management team continually monitor forecasts, anticipated cash flows and funding levels and the political and economic environment to climate, in order to manage the charity's future expenditure against its income, and ensure it remains able to meet its commitments. Having considered this the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity will remain viable for the foreseeable future..

Supporters and donors

We thank all those organisations who have provided us with financial support over the year including the following: Lottery Reaching Communities; The Graham and Diane Smith Charitable Trust..

We also thank all those who have made private donations to the charity.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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 hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ILKLEY COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Ilkley Community Enterprise Limited (the 'charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31st December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Charity Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ILKLEY COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Other matters

The comparative results of the group & charitable company have not been audited.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 8

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ILKLEY COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the entity and industries in which it operates, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the application of charitable funds and data protection. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011.

We assessed the susceptibility of the group and charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the directors, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls, and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We determined the principal risks were related to income recognition, in particular accrued income, and management bias in accounting estimates, especially with regard to depreciation.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed audit procedures which included, but were not limited to:

At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner's review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance of laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement relating to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ILKLEY COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ILKLEY COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

At the time of signing these accounts, having considered the economic climate, the Trustees expectations and intentions for the next 12 months, and the availability of working capital, the Trustees are of the opinion that the company will remain viable for the foreseeable future and accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking drawn up to the reporting date. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

- Incoming resources with related expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.

- Client fee income

Members are invoiced at the end of each month for services used during that month, and recognised in the accounts in that month.

- Grants and donations

Grants and donations are included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

- Contractual income and performance related grants

This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

- Grants with performance conditions

Where the charity receives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the specified service or output has been met.

- Grants payable without performance conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met. Grants are released in line with the expenditure that meets the conditions of the grant. Where grants include the acquisition of fixed assets, the fixed assets are written off fully in line with the grant release.

- Tax reclaims on donations and gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Goodwill

Goodwill, being amounts paid in connection with business acquisition, is amortised evenly over its estimated life of 4 years.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Long leasehold 10 – 83 years Fixtures & fittings 3 years Computer equipment 3 years

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Donated goods

- Gifts in kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

- Donated services and facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

- Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments

The company only enters into transactions in ‘basic’ financial instruments which result in the recognition of assets and liabilities; these include trade and other debtors and creditors, bank balances, loans from banks and other third parties, and loans to related parties. These are recognised in the company’s balance sheet when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets (other than those classified as payable within one year) are initially measured at cost and are subsequently carried at cost or amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Basic financial assets classed as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities (other than those classified as payable within one year) are initially measured at present value of future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Basic financial liabilities classed as payable within one year are not amortised.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amount reported 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.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are stated at amortised cost.
