Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

Under a Christian ethos:

  1. To further or benefit the residents of East Bowling, Bradford, West Yorkshire and the surrounding south Bradford area, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power: to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects;

  2. To relieve the needs of elderly people, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of day care facilities and a lunch club;

  3. To advance the education of babies and young children, in particular but not exclusively by offering appropriate play facilities and courses for the children and their families.

The charity's main activities

The aim of BD4 CT is to support and restore community across the generations. This work is split between two projects, each of which contributes to the aim of improving the quality of life for the residents of the BD4 postcode area in Bradford. The BD4 Family project strongly focuses on working with families with pre-school children and provides sessions each week through term time to support families by providing a place to meet other people, participate in activities, get training and advice and be encouraged to find out what is available to them and how to access it. There is also the offer of one-to-one support sessions in the home to individual parents and carers according to their needs. The Gems project works with the older members of our community delivering a variety of activities each week with additional activities at times throughout the year. The project provides opportunities for older people to make friends, participate in healthy activities, learn a new skill, enjoy a nutritional meal and enjoy day trips. Both projects are supported by two activity leads, whose responsibilities include smooth delivery of services and a coordinated response to the needs of the community.

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 and in particular the advancement of education.

Achievements and performance

Over the past year we have seen both BD4 Family and Gems develop new services alongside existing ones.

We currently have 6 paid staff members and a part-time admin support worker. We have 15 volunteers over the two different projects and our Befriending service. Our team is committed to ensuring the smooth delivery of services to meet our vision and aims as a charity and to provide the best service we can to our service users.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Achievements and performance continued

BD4 Family continues to offer a varied programme of activities: The Family Links Nurturing course, working alongside local Primary Schools in the area to encourage parents to attend and help them to learn strategies to help them to better cope with the pressures of parenting and family life. The HENRY parenting programme, to support parents of younger children to encourage them to think healthier and make healthier family choices. Both programmes are nationally recognised. First Friends, a support and friendship group for families with children under 1 year, providing messy and sensory play alongside breastfeeding and peer support services. Infant message, a 5-week programme promoting healthy physical and emotional development, stronger bonding, and attachment. Tots Unlimited, a school preparation group where stimulating and engaging environments are provided for children to learn through play and exploration, alongside their parents or carers. Children also benefit from going on visits to museums and other places in the community to further their knowledge and understanding of the world. 3x Stay & Learn sessions each week, providing free play and exploration for pre-school aged children whilst supporting parents/carers to gain new skills and positive role modelling strategies to gain the best start in family life. We have continued to work in partnership with Primetime, who deliver their project, after school at our Centre to develop activities for children of primary school age. We have developed a new intergenerational group this year, called Garden Gang. This session engages individuals of all ages to learn new skills in ‘growing your own’, fruit and vegetables.

The Gems project has continued to provide a more diverse timetable of trips and outings on a more regular basis which service users have benefited from greatly and gained much enjoyment from. We offer older people a range of services including weekly gentle exercise classes, indoor bowls, well-being sessions, a nutritious lunch, beauty treatments, and day trips. Our team are now trained as Digital Champions and can offer support to our service users with accessing the internet for health concerns, ordering repeat prescriptions and general online services such as- online shopping, contacting family and friends, social media outlets and keeping up to date with what is happening in the world around them. We have a partnership with a local taxi service to be able to provide a door-to-door collection service enabling those with mobility issues to access the lunch and other services on offer. During the year we have seen 50-60 older people using the project per week, the majority being between 70 and 90+ years of age. Through our work we provide close support to older people which helps them to remain in control of their own lives and independent for as long possible. We aim to reduce isolation for older members of our community by creating a social, caring context and opportunities for people to re-connect with their community.

As well as delivering sessions aimed at bringing families and older people together, we continue to put on events throughout the year, such as live vocalist sessions and sing-alongs and Ceilidh events. These are great opportunities to bring all ages from the two projects, together.

We now provide a befriending service within Gems. We have a Befriending Co-Ordinator who is responsible for recruiting and training volunteers to offer weekly support to our more vulnerable and isolated Gems.

Future Developments

Through our partnership with Better Start Bradford, we will be extending our Neighbourhood service and employing another Neighbourhood Worker to enable us to reach and engage with more families with children under 4 years. This is a great opportunity for our organisation to further develop and promote our service as well as the programmes Better Start Bradford offer within our area. As apart of this continued partnership, we will be offering a Health Visiting clinic in partnership with the NHS and Public Health. This service will run alongside our existing First Friends group and be open to all families within the Bradford East area.

Through consultation with our Gems service users, we will be providing a Zumba Gold session each week to encourage physical exercise and positive mental well-being to those over 50 years.

With funding from Scurrah Wainwright we will be able to offer our Culture Comforts session for families in East Bowling to make friends with peers from other cultures in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £4,958, including net income of £7,351 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £12,309 on restricted funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £31,600.

The Trustees have reviewed the charity's need for reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charities Commission and consider it prudent that free, unrestricted reserves of between 3 and 6 months of running costs (between £30,910 and £61,820 based on 2021/2022 expenditure) are retained both to enable the smooth running of the charity and to allow for an orderly winding up should that become necessary.

Whilst the level of free reserves is close to the lower target level of reserves the trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

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.

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 4/11/2022

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.

1 Accounting policies

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
