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 promotion of social inclusion and youth activities.
The charity's main activities
CATCH: Leading Community Transformation
CATCH (Community Action To Create Hope) is a volunteer-led charity based at our community hub, the ark, in the heart of Harehills, Leeds. Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where children, young people, and the wider community can thrive. Through a wide range of tailored programmes and activities, we equip young people with the confidence, skills, and opportunities they need to live positive, purposeful lives — reducing the risk of anti-social behaviour and supporting stronger community cohesion.
The ark serves as a dynamic centre for innovation, connection, and personal growth. Within it, we provide multipurpose spaces including training, meeting, and conference rooms; a vibrant community café; an expanding educational farm; a volunteer-run gym; and peaceful garden areas. Together, these facilities support both our own activities and those of many partner organisations. More than just a building, the ark has become a symbol of hope and a catalyst for community transformation.
Income Generation and Sustainability
CATCH continues to strengthen its sustainability through a blend of social enterprise and charitable activity. We generate income through room hire for meetings, events, and community groups; accredited first aid training courses delivered through our training centre; and our thriving community café, which doubles as a welcoming social hub and an important revenue source.
Alongside these enterprises, we continue to rely on the generosity of funders, donors, and the wider community. Grants, sponsorships, and fundraising efforts remain essential in helping us provide free or affordable access to our programmes, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation. We remain deeply thankful for the continued support and trust placed in us by our funders, volunteers, and community partners — without whom our work would not be possible.
Growing Our Educational Farm: Learning Through Nature
A standout feature of our recent development has been the growth of our educational farm, which has become a cornerstone of our youth and community engagement. What began as a small project has now evolved into a fully integrated learning environment featuring a range of animals, including goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, alpacas, and llamas.
The farm provides young people with unique hands-on experiences that teach empathy, responsibility, and sustainable living. It also offers opportunities to explore topics such as biodiversity, food growing, and environmental care. Our poly-tunnels and garden spaces enhance this learning, allowing participants to understand where food comes from and the importance of nurturing the environment.
Through these experiences, children and young people develop a deeper appreciation of nature, wellbeing, and sustainability — gaining life skills that extend well beyond the farm.

Milestones and Growth
Since our founding in 2011, CATCH has grown from a small volunteer initiative into a recognised leader in youth and community work. Key developments over the past year include:
-
l Sustained Growth and Development: 2024 marked the eighth consecutive year of operating from our purpose-built facility. Each year, we continue to expand the scale, reach, and quality of our programmes and facilities.
-
l Volunteer Leadership: Volunteers remain the heartbeat of CATCH. Their time, talent, and commitment have enabled us to extend our impact, strengthen our partnerships, and deliver meaningful opportunities for others to give back.
-
l Strong and Stable Membership: Our membership continues to thrive, with more than 1,000 active members regularly engaging in our activities and services — a reflection of the trust and value our community places in CATCH.
-
l Collaborative Partnerships: CATCH works closely with local authorities, schools, colleges, universities, businesses, and charities to deliver responsive, high-impact programmes. These collaborations ensure that our work continues to meet the evolving needs of the community while leveraging collective expertise and resources.
Recognition and Awards
CATCH’s innovative approach and community impact have been recognised both locally and nationally through several prestigious awards:
-
l Child Friendly Leeds Award – “Best Place for Children and Young People”: Recognising our commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment for young people to flourish.
-
l Howard League Award for Policing and Children: Acknowledging our collaborative work with West Yorkshire Police to reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour through positive engagement.
-
l Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service: The UK’s highest honour for volunteer groups, celebrating the incredible contribution of our volunteers whose dedication continues to shape CATCH’s success and sustainability.
These recognitions celebrate the collective efforts of our volunteers, staff, and community partners, and they inspire us to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Our approach continues to be viewed as a model of effective, community-led transformation, with growing interest in replicating our work in other parts of Leeds and beyond.
Achievements and performance during the year:
CATCH Youth Programme
CATCH’s youth programme remains at the heart of everything we do. It continues to engage children and young people from diverse cultural, faith, and ethnic backgrounds across Harehills and wider Leeds. In 2024–2025, the programme has grown in both scale and impact, providing safe, structured, and inspiring opportunities for young people to connect, learn, and lead.
Our inclusive approach has enabled us to welcome participants from British Pakistani, British Bengali, RomaGypsy, Romanian, Czech, Slovakian, Polish, Somali, Black British, Mixed Heritage, and White British communities. This diversity enriches every session and reinforces our commitment to promoting mutual respect, understanding, and unity.
Our trained youth volunteers and young leaders, many aged 11–18, continue to play a pivotal role in leading peer activities and mentoring their younger peers. This year saw significant investment in the development of youth spaces and facilities, ensuring that CATCH remains a safe and vibrant environment where young people can thrive and make positive choices.

Holiday Programmes
Throughout every school holiday, we offered a wide range of creative and active programmes to keep children and young people engaged in positive pursuits. From sports and baking to small construction projects, arts, crafts, and competitions, our activities helped young people build confidence and social skills in a safe and nurturing environment.
As part of the governments Healthy Holidays initiative, we also provided nutritious hot meals each day, ensuring children could take part in fun and educational experiences without barriers related to food insecurity.
Collaborative Education Programmes – Restore and Post-16 Pathways
Our partnership-led education programmes have continued to make a transformational impact. The Restore programme, delivered in collaboration with Carr Manor Community School, supports young people at risk of exclusion by offering a restorative, relationship-based learning environment.
Alongside this, our Post-16 Bespoke Pathways programme, in partnership with Leeds City College, provides practical and accredited learning opportunities for young people at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). Many participants have progressed into further education, apprenticeships, or employment, demonstrating the programme’s success in changing trajectories and unlocking potential.
Bonfire Period Diversionary Activities
CATCH once again played a vital role in keeping young people safe during the high-risk Bonfire period. Our series of diversionary events — including a large community roller disco, football tournaments, and creative workshops — offered safe and exciting alternatives to anti-social behaviour.
Working closely with schools, local authorities, and West Yorkshire Police, we helped raise awareness around fire and public safety through school assemblies and targeted engagement. These efforts contributed to a significant reduction in incidents and strengthened community-police relationships.
Community Cohesion – Fusion Fridays and Super Saturdays
In response to growing concerns around misinformation, division, and anti-social behaviour, we launched Fusion Fridays and Super Saturdays to promote dialogue, unity, and shared experiences. These sessions bring young people from diverse backgrounds together through food, discussion, and activities focused on mutual understanding, culture, and values.
This initiative has been instrumental in building bridges across communities and strengthening social cohesion in Harehills.
Responding to the Harehills Disorder
CATCH played a critical role during and after the Harehills disorder in 2024, providing immediate community support and safe spaces for local young people. Our volunteers, youth leaders, and staff worked tirelessly to rebuild trust, offer reassurance, and prevent further escalation.
Following the disorder, we convened local partners and residents to discuss solutions and create practical pathways toward healing and prevention. This community-led response reaffirmed our position as a trusted anchor organisation capable of bringing people together in challenging times.
Development of the Peace Sanctuary
A major new initiative this year has been the development of the CATCH Peace Sanctuary — a creative space made from repurposed shipping containers. The Sanctuary is designed to promote reflection, wellbeing, and dialogue, offering young people and community members a peaceful space to gather, learn, and connect. Once complete, it will host workshops, community conversations, and mindfulness activities centred on unity and peacebuilding.

The Educational Farm – Growth and Expansion
Our educational farm has continued to flourish and is now one of CATCH’s most distinctive and loved features. This year, we made the strategic decision to utilise the entire field area, allowing for greater accessibility, diversity, and learning opportunities.
The farm’s expansion included the introduction of llamas alongside our existing animals — goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and alpacas — broadening the experience for visitors and learners. The site now operates as a fully functional educational farm, with daily responsibilities led by young volunteers and our apprentice.
Beyond animal care, the farm has become a central part of our educational offer — teaching environmental stewardship, sustainability, and wellbeing through hands-on learning.
Climate Grant and Environmental Improvements
CATCH was awarded a Climate Grant from the local authority to improve our environmental sustainability. This funding has supported the installation of solar panels and a battery storage system on our main building, significantly reducing our carbon footprint and energy costs.
These improvements demonstrate our commitment to environmental responsibility and serve as an educational example to young people about the importance of sustainable practices in community life.
Social Action and Site Development
Social action remains a defining feature of CATCH’s culture. Throughout the year, young volunteers have taken part in a wide range of community projects — from planting and landscaping to construction and farm maintenance.
These projects not only improve our facilities but also build practical skills, teamwork, and pride in the young people who take part. The hands-on involvement of our volunteers continues to shape CATCH’s evolution and ensure it remains a true community-built space.
Partnerships with Schools
Our partnerships with schools across Leeds have strengthened this year, offering our young people opportunities for casual work experience and placements. These experiences give young people valuable exposure to teamwork, leadership, and responsibility in real-life education settings.
We continue to collaborate with educational partners to design projects that build resilience, promote positive citizenship, and support academic and personal growth.
Leeds Learning Alliance
Through our membership of the Leeds Learning Alliance (LLA), CATCH continues to play an active and influential role in shaping education, opportunity, and inclusion across the city. Our involvement in initiatives such as Public Service Pathways has helped champion representation from diverse communities in public service careers — including the police, fire service, and armed forces.
In the wake of growing community tensions, we have worked alongside LLA partners to support dialogues around cohesion, belonging, and resilience, ensuring that the voices of young people and grassroots organisations are represented in citywide discussions. This collaborative approach has positioned CATCH as both a community connector and a learning partner, bridging the gap between formal education and lived experience.
We remain a proactive member of research and inclusion-focused initiatives that aim to improve educational outcomes, strengthen school-community partnerships, and promote community-led models of support that can inspire change beyond our own neighbourhood.

Strategy and Growth
2024–2025 has been a year of strategic development and reflection for CATCH. The appointment of our first young apprentice marked a major milestone — adding valuable capacity to our team, strengthening our office administration, and demonstrating how local talent can develop and thrive within the organisation. Building on this success, we appointed a second apprentice to support the continued growth of our Educational Farm. Our site and facilities continue to evolve, with improvements to accessibility, flow, and visitor experience, reflecting our commitment to creating a welcoming and functional community space.
We have become increasingly aware of the power of collaboration and the value it brings to our shared mission. Working alongside schools, the local authority, police, third sector organisations, and businesses, we continue to pursue joint aims that strengthen communities and improve opportunities for young people. By sharing resources and space, we are able to test new ideas, pilot innovative approaches, and achieve outcomes that no single organisation could deliver alone. These partnerships embody the collaborative spirit that defines CATCH — open, adaptable, and driven by collective impact.
Volunteers remain the beating heart of CATCH. Their diverse skills, creativity, and commitment bring our projects to life — from mentoring young people to maintaining facilities and supporting the farm. As the organisation continues to grow, we recognise the importance of balancing our volunteer-led identity with strategic investment in staffing, apprenticeships, and development opportunities. This approach ensures that while our grassroots ethos remains strong, we are also building the structure and resilience needed for longterm sustainability.
Looking ahead, our priorities focus on sustainability, growth, and community impact. We aim to:
-
l Expand the Educational Farm and secure a Farm Exhibition Licence to attract more visitors and generate income for the charity.
-
l Embed our emerging Peace Plan into everyday practice — shaping how we welcome, support, and empower others, while building long-term resilience and unity across our community.
-
l Strengthen partnerships that help us innovate, share resources, and co-create meaningful opportunities for young people and families.
CATCH remains a living example of how grassroots innovation, partnership, and hope can transform spaces and lives.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £77,465, including net income of £62,324 on unrestricted funds and net income of £15,141 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
Our reserves policy is to hold 6 months of forecast unrestricted expenditure for the purpose of enabling the smooth running of the charity and to allow for an orderly winding up should the charity need to close. This would equate to £85,000 based on our planned unrestricted spending of £170,000.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £269,683.
Within the reserves is the designated fund of £138,618. This was a legacy donation received in 2021 and has been set aside to cover the costs of building and facilities development and youth apprenticeship and/or training opportunities. We are waiting for permissions to develop a MUGA at Hovingham Primary School and we intend to start using the fund for apprenticeships next year. After deducting this amount the remaining free reserves are £131,065. The excess reserves are for expected rises in energy costs, general inflation costs and farm development.
