## Shine (West Bowling)
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of West Bowling in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
## **The charity's main activities**
Shine delivers a range of community services to bring renewal to one of the UK’s most deprived communities. These include Pop Up Pantries, budgeting help, Job Clubs, cookery courses, a Children’s Clothes Bank, English classes, asylum and refugee support, care for the homeless, exercise classes, parenting support, wellbeing groups and counselling. It manages a large green space for community use, is a Hate Crime Centre and partners with Bradford District Credit Union.
## **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 improvement in community wellbeing.
## **Achievements and performance**
With the help of over 20 volunteers, our trustees, funders, personal donors and dedicated staff Shine has been able to help hundreds within our local community this year, delivering nearly 1,000 sessions in groups and individually.
As the cost of living crisis hit communities like ours especially hard we have seen up to 80 families a week at our Pop Up Pantry, and people attend to use our Warm Space each day. We have continued to concentrate on supporting those who are struggling with their mental health, with Creative Threads running a project with Claire Wellesley-Smith based on the demolition of the Ripleyville flats, and Soul Art commencing each week. We continue to run singing, gardening and a men’s group. We have been in discussions with Wellspring Harrogate and are entering into a partnership as their first satellite project to enable more long-term counselling sessions to be delivered. This will mean appointing a Counselling Co-ordinator to run this service.
We are delighted that after years of preparation, we have redeveloped the basement of the church into a beautiful ‘Garden Room’ to be used for counselling and wellbeing groups. This space has also given us a shower for use by those who are housed in the Pod, or do not have hot water at home.
Trustees have worked alongside Locality in developing a business plan for the next five years; this has led to a marketing strategy to be rolled out next year. We have changed banks in order to adhere to our environmental values and now offer digital access to GP services on our premises.
We have appointed a new Economic Wellbeing Lead to increase our capacity in helping people with financial difficulties, and to cover as one member of staff reduces hours.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Achievements and performance continued**
Our thanks to our funders over this year – Souter Charitable Trust, Redevco, Give Bradford, Bradford City Challenge Foundation, Aviva, Bradford Council, The Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund; as well as many churches and people who have generously given of their own money so we can continue to serve the people of West Bowling.
- _**“** I was lost before I came here, now this is my second family and I love coming.”_
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £32,410, including net expenditure of £75,127 on unrestricted funds and net income of £42,717 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £87,533.
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 need to be sufficient to meet four to six months running costs. Based on 2023/2024 budgeted expenditure the CIO's target reserves are between £54,500 and £81,700. This policy is reviewed by the Trustees annually in line with the risk analysis and financial management situation.
The Trustees recognise that at 31 March 2023 actual reserves exceed the upper reserves target. However these will be reduced in the current year given the plans trustees have for the development of new services.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Shine (West Bowling)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement - matter of concern identified**
I have completed my examination. I have identified a matter of concern in my report in relation to material expenditure which appears to not be in accordance with the CIO's constitution.
The accounts disclose information on related party transactions in Note 7. The note details that a connected person (the wife of one of the trustees) has been employed by the charity. The CIO's constitution does not give express powers to employ a trustee or connected person and therefore permission should be sought from the Charity Commission prior to such an engagement. However, I am satisfied that the failure to seek permission has not been deliberate and I draw attention to the fact that the trustees are actively seeking to resolve this matter with the Charity Commission.
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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
