Sustaining our programme

The priority for Inspiring Communities Together delivery will remain within Charlestown and Lower Kersal (CHALK) for work funded through the Annuity whilst continuing to seek and secure resource opportunities which build on the learning from this work but may be delivered in different neighbourhoods across Salford or wider Greater Manchester footprint. Currently this includes:

Investing in our staff: We continue to support the wellbeing and personal development of our staff, recognising that the majority are also local residents of Salford. This year we carried out a staff survey. Feedback was very positive, however there were some areas which were highlighted

As we do each year annual appraisals are carried out each year during October and outlined below is the collective feedback

As a senior management team we have reflected on all the feedback and are now working with the team to introduce the recommendations including reintroducing monthly team meetings facilitated by a member of the management team but led by staff members.

During this year our Child Care Manager who has worked with us for the past 20 years took the decision to move on and take up an opportunity to establish a new child care provision in a different neighbourhood of Salford – we all wish her well in her new adventure.

Three new members of staff joined us across our programme of work:

We have also spent time reviewing our operational structures and staffing requirements as we have found it difficult to recruit staff to roles or the number of hours required does not require a staff member. We have now outsourced the following operational roles as an operational decision rather than a stop gap to fill roles we cannot recruit to:

This model of working is providing a quality standard of back office provision without the need to recruit a number of different staff and enables the staff employed to carry out their delivery roles and managers to manage administrative roles more effectively.

Placements – we have spent time reviewing our placement offer and now-

Our approach to digital first

In 2001/2022 we worked with Salford University to explore how digitally mature we were as an organisation. During 20223/24 we have focused on Communications and Campaigns (scored 29% on our digital maturity matrix)

Our new Marketing and Comms Manager started work in July 2023 and has been working through the key areas highlighted including:

Our programme of activity

Set out below is the programme of work delivered by Inspiring Communities Together during 2023/2024:

Children and Families - Provide excellent quality child care provision in CHALK: Early years, Afterschool clubs and holiday provision

We have continued to develop our Children and Families offer which is now a key element of our support for families in Charlestown and Lower Kersal providing:

• Wellbeing Matters Community Connector

In 2011 the Charity took on the management of Yogurt Pots early years provision as part of our commitment to sustain local provision which had been funded through the Annuity. Over the past few years we have continued to develop this provision and now provide support for families and children including Play and Stay, Early years including funded places, affordable after school and holiday club provision, free family holiday activities. We recognise that families may also be struggling for a variety of reasons and therefore we now offer a free advice and guidance provision, supporting families early to manage the challenges they may be facing.

Stay & Play - We have engaged with 41 families since starting the sessions in 2023

We continue to see regular attendance from a core group of families and others who attend when they can as well as new families continuing to join the Monday morning sessions.

We have starting to see more dads bringing their children, developing their

confidence mixing in social situations and being involved in craft/messy play activities.

We also have two local childminders who come along as it is a good social time for both themselves and children as it enables them to engage with other adults/families.

Two children who attended these sessions started in our nursery in January 2024, one will be using their 2 year old funding entitlement, one who is paying for sessions. This is showing a shift in the community makeup as historically we would only have families attending who are accessing funded places.

“Thank you very much for supporting me at a time when I felt isolated and helpless.

Everybody has really tried to help me at a time when I had no other support

and I will never forget that”

During this year we have engaged with families from just outside our normal catchment including Prestwich as they have identified there is limited affordable facilities within that area. This is highlighting the impact of the cost of living crisis as historically families from this neighbourhood would not have come down to Kersal to access services

Along-side the play sessions we have introduced some learning opportunities for family members:

Early Years - There were 23 children places during this financial year

During the first quarter of the year is a period of planning and supporting the children who will be transitioning into Nursery School, we had 19 children who left in July to start their fulltime school journey. As with every year some children remained with us and we started the recruitment process for new children (Following an open day in July 5 places had been filled with more expected).

During the summer shut down months we have reviewed how we deliver sessions and now encourage families to take up full days rather than half days This provides a better environment for the children and enables the staff team to give more 1-1 support to those children who need a bit of extra support. We have adopted a new approach to children attending the setting and provide a 9.00am – 2.00pm offer. 15 children now attend daily sessions and parents have commented how much better the new hours work, enabling time to drop off school age dropping and times fit with working parents going back to work part time. This year has been one of our best years for recruitment with the majority of the places filled by September when the new term started and we now have a waiting list.

Whilst we could look to offer a few more places within the setting we are seeing an increase in children with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and currently supporting 5 children in our setting which requires additional support from staff, during a visit from our Community Nursery Nurse she said that we are starting to see a trend from babies born during lockdown coming through needing additional support. Staff having been completing two years old checks with parents which are now being done face to face and we have had some lovely feedback about how happy they are with our provision.

“Thank you for all your hard work, I know my child is safe with you and she is doing really well. She is more confident and her English has improved so much. When we have more children we would like to send them here too”

Personal Story

A family (mum, dad and 2 year old child) moved to England from Hong Kong approximately a year and a half ago and were looking for childcare for their child. English was not the families first language, but both parents were keen to learn, and were determined their son would speak English before he started school nursery the following September 2023

A neighbour recommended Yogurt Pots and within a few weeks of entering the country their child had a nursery place with us accessing the governments two year old funding scheme, which gave the child access to 15 hours of free childcare.

Both parents interacted well, joining in with nursery and family activities. During the child’s time at Yogurt Pots we supported him with his English language skills. When the time arrived for the child to transition to school Yogurt Pots staff again provided support to the family to register for a place. The child successfully transitioned to “Big school” and is now attending full time.

The family have been in touch and said they are very grateful for all the help we have given them over the time that their child attended Yogurt Pots especially with encouraging their child’s English speaking and how he has grown in confidence.

The family continue to attend our family activities and asked for us to keep them up to date with any other activities that arise.

After School Club – We have 10 on roll from St Pauls and 7 on roll from Lower Kersal

This is an area of delivery which has seen increased growth over the past year, however 2 children have moved out of the area and changed schools so we will need to continue to review this offer to ensure we are reaching as many families as possible. Whilst historically most children came from Lower Kersal Primary School this has declined over this year but more children are attending from St Pauls.

We have had 1 child who used to attend 2 years ago re-joined us as parents circumstances have changed. We are also supporting a looked after child who’s place is being funded by the local authorities.

A few years ago we invested consider amount of money on creating an outdoor class room provision. The children now have the opportunity to spend more time outside:

• Under the canopy area the children have been using the blackboard to play games of hangman and also drawing pictures in stages, with other children trying to guess what the finished drawing will be. They have also made a multicultural wreath by drawing around their hands, cutting them out to create a wreath to display in the setting, talking about how we are all different, yet the same!

We constantly look at ways to bring together our teams and through the After School Club we are working with the People and Place Team extending the curriculum for the children to learn about nature, growing and how to look after the community which they live in. Activities have included :- litter picks on Riverbank Park, Creating art out of nature and Planting and growing cress.

Holiday Club – We had an average of 15 children each day with a maximum of 25 children

The government initiative to support families on low income during the school holiday has in Salford been partly administered by Salford CVS in the form of grants and access to free lunch provision. Inspiring Communities were successful in securing funding during 2023/24 and have at the end of this year submitted a successful bid for funding to cover 2024/25 holiday provision.

The funding has provided some income to cover staff costs, the purchase of new resources and opportunities to buy in additional provision the children would not have been able to access without the money.

As with our other programmes of delivery the focus is on health and wellbeing with much of the activity focused on using outside space, both our outside class room and local green public spaces.

Activities included :-

“I was worried my son might become bored in the setting but there is no chance of that with all the activities put on.

“Money is a bit tight at the moment so free provision has really helped. Having the option of free snack and lunch has been a big help. I felt happy sending my child as they have previously attended the setting and I have been able to work during half term. It has helped my child to socialise with other children”

“I just want to say the staff were fab, Nylah never wanted to go home, when I collected her at 3:30 after work she asked why I had picked her up early and to come back later”

Personal story

My children have used the holiday club provision previously and thoroughly enjoy it, before they have only been for 1 or 2 days at a time because of financial reasons (even though it is great value, it’s an extra expense)

My children have attended every-day throughout the Easter holidays with the free scheme in place, this has been a massive help and for myself and my husband, both financially and personally not having to stress/worry about even more budgeting to pay for child care costs and relying on older grandparents to look after them so we can work.

This has been so beneficial to all of us, The weight that has been lifted these two weeks is massive. The children have great days, very well cared for and fed, get to play and socialize and come home with big smiles…..or tears because they don’t want to leave.

Thank you to yogurt pots for helping working families!

Family activities – 4 events held

This is an area we are working hard to develop. We recognise that it has not always been easy to encourage families to engage in what we offer, often seeing Nursey as a place to leave children for a few hours. We however recognise that once we can engage with families we can encourage wider engagement in their children’s development and give early help, signposting for those who need help.

We continue to try and develop a whole family approach and break down some of the barriers between young and old through intergenerational activity. This year we held an intergenerational garden party to mark the Kings Coronation. This is the second time we have held intergeneration events in the open space of Yogurt Pots and is always great to see the older members of the community mixing with the children.

“I have had a lovely day out, after walking this morning and now coming here, it’s a lovely atmosphere and nice to watch the children enjoying themselves, and I have made myself a crown”

We have held 4 family activities during the Summer using various spaces in the local community which included the studios and cages at the sports village, our outdoor classroom and St Sebastian’s Community Centre.

Children and families have engaged in street dance, den making, sports day, fun day with environmental activities and a visit from Circus Frank. The parents were as eager as the children to take part and joined in throughout the sessions, families worked together using some of the resources we had purchased with funding from the Healthy Holidays Fund.

There were opportunities to encourage children to use their own ideas and imagination, communicating and taking on physical challenges. The parents

gave lots of praise and encouragement to all the children to develop their confidence along with team building and working together.

“It’s been a great morning, doing activities which have brought back old memories, things which I can do at home. My boys and myself have loved it and had so much fun!”

During the winter months Thanks to Tesco who kindly donated pumpkins we were able to hold our annual pumpkin carving event. One family who have twins are home schooled and the parent said how lovely it was to be able to engage and socialise with others, families who have previously attended our stay and play came along bringing friends with them, which in turn is promoting our family activities within the local community. The families saved Ay me ene Crees the pumpkin seeds and were given laminated fact sheets about how to roast the . fa seeds to eat at home!

We also held a festive event at the Sports Village where children from after school club attended along with families. One of our Social Work students had planned craft activities for the families and we provided a small buffet to include different foods which are eaten around the world during the festive period.

“ Everything was great I would like to come to more activities like this, for my kids to have fun without a huge cost to me”

“We never tried the pumpkin activity before and we would like to have some fun and family activity during the half term break. It was great and we hope we can join more activities in the coming future”

Personal journey

Individual X started attending stay and play in Summer 2023, during a general conversation we discovered they are a local child minder and attending these sessions was positive for the children but also for themselves as it can be very isolating being at home all day.

During the school holidays they have attended our free family activity events with their grandchild and have also encouraged friends to attend with their children.

Although they currently look after their granddaughter at home they have asked about applying for a nursery place to encourage the child to mix with other children and detach themselves from being with family members and ensure they would then be school ready

Advice and guidance – 62 people supported

We continue to invest in our own advice and guidance work, this is a part time post (3 days per week) and works across all our programmes and therefore is shared with our Ageing well and social prescribing worker who can refer people into the support ensuring quick access to advice and guidance. Alongside this support the majority of our staff have also completed level 3 advice and guidance qualifications.

Our advice and guidance worker has this year provided the following types of support :

Personal story

Jane had connected with Inspiring Communities Together as she wished to enrol on a tech and tea course to help with her digital skills. Unfortunately, Jane found that as she is self-employed, she was unable to find the £30.00 needed to purchase the tablet which she needed for the course.

We contacted Jane to see what help and support we could offer and Jane met with our Advice and Guidance Worker who completed an income and expenditure form with Jane and found that she was able to receive some extra support as her income per month was limited and Universal Credit (UC) had closed her claim for the fourth time. She was also referred to the local foodbanks for some immediate help.

We worked with Jane to complete a Personal Independent Payment claim and apply for Salford Assist who supported her with £40 each for gas and electric and £100 for food.

Inspiring Communities together waivered the £30.00 for the tablet so Jane could start the teach and tea course

A few weeks later she received notification from UC to say that she had been awarded arrears from 11/11/2023 to 10/5/2023, and was awarded £2139.19, as her accounts had been verified by HMRC.

She now has her council tax paid and has her housing benefits award. She has now claimed Employment Support Allowance as is unable to work.

Since completing the Tech and Tea course and getting the tablet she has attended courses with Carillion doing advanced IT and Maths. She is hoping in the future to gain a career in IT

We remain in contact with Jane for support and checking on her wellbeing. She now has a good group of friends in the local community where she lives who look out for her, has all her arrears cleared, and has her benefits sorted, except for PIP that she is waiting to hear about.

Personal story

CC was struggling financially and with her health. She was not entitled to Pension Credit as her husband gets a small personal pension. She had recently had a couple of operations one involving her heart which was quite a major operation and was also suffering from COPD. She struggled with everyday activities and her daughter helped with the daily tasks such as shopping and housework.

in sessions are held. After an initial conversation with our advice worker CC was advised to request an Attendance Allowance form and to keep a diary about how her health. We helped CC complete the form. Two months later CC was awarded Attendance Allowance at the lower rate of £68.10 weekly as well as a backdated payment of over £500.

Previously CC’s daughter, who works full time and lives more than a hour’s drive from her mum’s, had been coming down a couple of times a week to clean the house, do the shopping and run her mum to appointments. The Attendance Allowance meant that CC now employs a cleaner once a fortnight and can afford to take taxis to her appointments. She can now spend quality time with daughter rather than her daughter cleaning and running her to appointments.

CC said “I feel I am more active and can get out more. I’ve started to meet up with friends again who I’d lost touch with as before I was dependant on my daughter to run me around. I am more independent now.”

CC contacted us again following a short stay in hospital, saying that she didn’t feel safe at home when using the bath. We encouraged her to contact Age UK Salford and as a result she has had an occupational health assessment and has had grab rails fitted in the bathroom.

Social Prescribing: We continue to deliver the Wellbeing Matters Social Prescribing programme along with our other Voluntary Sector Partners. During 2023-24 the partnership supported over 5,000 referrals via GPs across Salford.

As can be seen from the demonstrating impact diagram Inspiring Communities Together wider over provides a valuable resource to the Wellbeing Matters programme

“Guy has helped me gain my confidence back which means I am now leaving the house on a regular basis, it is still difficult at times but I can cope with this much better than before.”

The focus of Wellbeing Matters is to support health care professional reduce their own waiting lists by providing person centred support to individuals. Inspiring Communities Together provide a Community Connector to work with health professional delivering in Swinton including GP Practices and mental health providers

Set out is the reasons for referrals and the types of support individuals have been referred to

Our initial plan was to recruit individuals as Green Champions to support our programme of activity, however we now recognise that people do not wish to commit to a volunteering role but are happy to engage in activities that meet their time commitment and interests.

We have developed our Green Campion programme as the overarching theme with a programme of activities which people can engage with as and when it suits them. Their individual engagement will be captured as we start to measure the behaviour change impact of individuals over 2024/2025,

Green and Grow (CHALK)

This work has a focus on both the intergenerational activity at Sports Village working with the children who attend Yogurt Pots and older residents who live in Lower Kersal and activity in Riverbank park.

Riverbank Park not only provides a great play space for local families (this was refurbished through funding secured by Inspiring Communities Together a couple of years ago) but also has a small allotment and orchard which has not been maintained for a while. The reintroduction of the allotment is a key priority for 2024 we have now cleared the beds and are in the process of working with partners to gravel the paths in between the beds and replace the large planter so growing can start.

To support this work we have once again built on our networks and commitment to building relationships with partners resulting in securing resources for the neighbourhood:

The work within the Sports Village allotment was off to a late start with planting as we were clearing the beds and seated planters but they did still manage to grow some crops of Strawberries, Potatoes, Lettice, Carrots, Cabbage and an abundance of Herbs. Wilkos donated Pumpkin seed, Spring bulbs and wild flower seeds whllst Lower Kersal Allotments donated beans, carrots and tomato seeds.

of » OF eel Unfortunately we have not been able to re-stone the paths or upgrade the planter which was due to be carried out through a social value commitment by Travis reese * by en > PS dies BE Perkins due to staff changes but we are still looking for resources to complete this. We were however successful in securing an small grant from the East Salford Community Committee Devolve Budget for a new potting shed to replace the current green house which is no longer fit for purpose.

Grow to Learn group (Seedley and Langworthy)

The main focus of this are of work is the engagement of local people in Chimney Pot Park. Our initial work involved asking people about what they felt about Chimney Pot Park with people raising concerns about the fear of crime in the space. Our Development Worker has now started to deliver weekly activities in the park resulting in a small group of local residents supporting the project. The volunteers have started clearing beds and sowing seeds as well as planting herbs outside of the cornerstone.

Alongside the Seedley and Langworthy Annuity a small grant was secured to carry out some environmental activity in the neighbourhood with a focus on Chimney Pot Park. Working closely with RHS Bridgewater and the Mancunian way youth service we have created a bed in the park. By the end of the year the Green

Champions had made great progress in clearing and maintaining the current beds and working on the development of a Nature Sensory Walk. With the support of our Development Worker one of our Green Champions is conducting his Masters Dissertation research project in the park about soil quality.

With the support from Salford CVS, RHS Bridgewater and ourselves the yo , Sel friends of Chimney Pot Park held their launch event on the 24th Oct. We have started to collect data round how the local community use the park and what they would like to see happen. We will be continuing to ask local people in the area how they use the park to help us gather data to secure funding for next year to further develop the park.

As part of all our activities we conduct WHO wellbeing questionnaires and Loneliness questionnaires This year the majority of participants in the grow to learn activities have reported an improvement in the wellbeing.

Personal Story

Andrew has lived in the Langworthy area for the past six years having moved from Kent. He has been claiming Employment Support Allowance for 4 years for PTSD and depression and did not feel part of the community so wanted to look at doing some volunteering.

Andrew was attending the Cornerstone as he uses the foodbank each week. This happened to be the same day as Inspiring Communities Together Advice and Guidance Worker was in the building offering support to people. Andrew told our worker that he had been doing some volunteering at Tatton Café as he had previously worked in catering but this was not a regular volunteering role and he wanted something a bit more structured.

We discussed that registering with Salford CVS would be a good start and contacted one of the volunteer development workers for Age Friendly Salford to see about Andrew registering as a wellbeing champion. Also discussed the environmental activity in Seedley and Langworthy delivered by Inspiring Communities Together.

Andrew is waiting for his references to come through for his volunteering as a wellbeing champion and then he is looking forward to starting some volunteering with the tech and tea project supporting older people to improve their digital skills.

Andrew is now regularly volunteering with the grow to learn project. He goes above and beyond in order to be useful during these sessions including staying behind to de-weed the area near Langworthy Cornerstone and reporting any issues in Chimney Pot Park during the week when we not in the area. Andrew has now joined Salford Rangers and has made a special request to adopt Chimney Pot Park to see if this opens up opportunity for more improvements. He has also joined Salford Heroes litter picking and goes out every day. He is now making new friends and feels part of the community.

National Tree Week took place between the 27th November – 3rd December 2023 and the children engaged in numerous activities to celebrate. They completed a tree labelling activity which led to discussions around the benefits trees have, especially in urban areas. To end on a fun note, the children decorated the Christmas tree! Nature crafts, including nature bracelets, inspire creativity alongside learning about nature and taking notice of small details such as colours, patterns, textures and shapes of leaves and flowers. Crafting with natural materials year round allows the children to notice the difference in materials they are using such as the types of materials available to them and their colours due to seasonal changes.

Placements

We recognise that providing space for people to learn what it is like to spend time in a work place can help them to make their own life choices. The chance to spend time in a place based Charity is something that many will never experience but those that do find it very rewarding.

We try to work with as many partners as possible to be able to offer short or longer term placement opportunities and all our staff recognise the value of this approach and provided a supportive environment for all our placements.

As with all our programmes of work we spend time testing the approach and devloping the model during 2023/24 we have provided the following palcements:

Social Work placements – 3 MMU social work student completed and passed their first placement with us. We usually only offer first placement oportunities due to the nature of our work and the experience we can provide, however we were asked if we could provide a student with her final placement as her current placement had broken down. We were able to work with the Social Work Team to ensure the placement gained some front line work expereince and reviewed our own programme and now ensure all socialw work stuents have a case load through our check and chat and social prescribing work. We are delighted to report that this student has now passed her final placement accessment and will be leaving us in April

Salford Futures - We continue to work closely with SCC in supporting the Salford Futures programme. 3 of the Salford Futures placements completed their Work experience with us — af on the 20th December after completing 8 weeks we held a celebration event and presentation of certificates of attendance of core training.

This pilot has enabled us to work on what a work placement offer would look like and we have now mapped this out and applied for and secured funding to test the model further, looking to offer 30 placements across the following areas of our work: Child Care, Marketing and Comms, Environmental and Admin during 2024.

Smart Futures – A 10-week program that provides training, mentoring and work experience to young people aged 16 and 17. Two young people joined us in April for their 2,5 days of work experience

Annual neighbourhood consultation – 110 completed

Each year during quarter three delivery we ask residents to complete a short neighbourhood questionnaire to help us gauge how the community is feeling about where they live.

We have developed the questionnaire as an online form and distributed the link via social media and our local contacts during October – December 2023. The staff team encouraged people they were supporting to complete the forms, and the nursery staff encouraged parents and older children to complete forms.

Nearly all the areas show a increase in results with some at an all time high from when we started the consultation five years ago. The neighbourhood consultation told us that:

Whilst the data collection is not carried out to research standards and we do not ask the same people the same question each year the feedback does provide a valuable insight into how people feel about living in two neighbourhoods of Salford over a period of time.

As can be seen when the data is mapped against year one figures there continues to be a small improvement in nearly all the data sets – around 10%. Notably the one data set which has seen a decling is people feeling active in the community. This number has decreased over the period of Covid and since the local forums we facilitated have not started up again.

During 2024/25 we will use the Green Champion monthly meet ups as an opportunity to have conversations with people about being active in their community to see if this will enage more people in taking an active role in helping to have a voice and make positive changes.

Ageing Well in Salford – Age Friendly Salford

In January 2023 we started the delivery of the five year contract for Age Well, funded by Salford City Council and delivered in partnership with Age UK Salford and Salford CVS. Whilst we have been the delivery lead for this work for a number of years we were previously not the contract holder so this will be the first major contract that Inspiring Communities Together has secured and will lead on.

Between January – December 2023 we engaged with

Our programme of activity includes:

• ~~———_~~ Brew and Chat for those who wish to spend time with other in an informal conversation exploring how to look after their own wellbeing

“Being involved in AFS activities has changed my life. I’ve met some fantastic people and feel part of my neighbourhood again.”

“AFS has given me back my confidence. I lost touch with people after my husband passed away, and now I’m in contact with people almost daily.”

“Thank you for keeping me informed of all the lovely activities which have been going on. I’ve enjoyed being part of them and hope to continue being involved in the new year.”

Personal story

RH is from a showman background and would usually winter in Salford as a child and then as an adult as there was no work traveling in the winter months. With this background, she had very little schooling which has left her with difficulties with reading and writing which in turn had stopped her from using technology including smartphones. RH was referred to AFS by Salford city council as she expressed an interest in learning about getting online but was concerned that as she cannot read or write, she felt she wouldn’t be able to keep up with other people on the course. This was causing great anxiety.

Our coordinator contacted RH, explaining our Tech & Tea course outline and suggested that if she felt more comfortable, she could bring a friend to support her, which she did. Feeling more reassured she decided to book onto the course. At the first session we assigned one of our most experienced volunteer wellbeing champions to work with RH on a 1:1 basis and the two of them struck up a positive and trusting relationship. RH was excited to learn how to use the microphone function on Google which helped her search exactly what she wants without the pressure and worry about her spelling. RH had initially assessed her digital skills at 4.5 (out of 100), this increased to 36 (out of 100) at the end of the course. She told us she felt more confident about using technology and is regularly using the internet. “Without the help from the course and the volunteers I wouldn’t be as confident as I am, however I felt like I still have a lot to learn.”

She told us “I have learnt more in the 5 weeks of the course than I have learnt in the last couple of years of English lessons”.

She now feels more confident about going to other events by herself if her friend isn’t available and that she can find out what is going on around her through the internet on her tablet instead of asking her friends. RH has stated that she would like to use her knowledge from the course to advance her learning in other areas and is hoping to get back into learning how to read and write, she says she feels more confident in looking at different courses online that would benefit her.

The age well work has enabled us to explore other funding opportunities and alongside the AFS programme we currently have three other externally funded pieces of work:

Reserves policy

The Board have reviewed their current reserve policy and based on our financial history feel it is now in a position to define the level of reserves at six months deliver rather than nine months. Our overall policy is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to enable usual activities should a shortfall in income occur. Based on our current delivery model outlined the amount of reserve equates to:

The current cost to ensure ICT has enough funds set aside to achieve the reserve policy agreed by the Trustees is now set at £270,000 .

As at the end of this financial year the total reserves are £758,978 of which

The Board have allocated funds in a CAF Deposit account with a view to meeting the reserve requirements. As of 1st March 2024 £110,203 is held in this account and a further £211,665 held in a Hargreaves Landsdown portfolio giving a current total of £321,868 . This is enough to cover at least six months delivery.

Investment policy

Based on the approach set out above the Board of Trustees have considered how any surplus funds should be invested to ensure they are meeting their agreed aims of ensuring the reserve funds are protected but accessible if required as we currently hold limited surplus income other than our reserves.

Surplus funds apart from operating funding which are held in Co-op Bank all unrestricted funds are held in investments as set out in Inspiring Communities Together investment policy.

Conclusions and Future Planning

As we come to the end of our 2023-2024 programme of delivery we have much to celebrate but also recognising that funding for the voluntary sector continues to be a challenge.

Due to the prudence of the board we hold good reserves and have the long term commitment for SCC for the Annuity until 2047 (CHALK) annual review for Seedley and Langworthy which all provides the funding needed to ensure our core offer can be delivered.

The next steps to long term sustainability is the development of our community led housing model, which in years to come will provide the necessary funding to support Inspiring Communities Together Charitable delivery.

Whilst 2047 may seem a long way away the Board feel they time is now right to start planning for the future and the first stage of this is the development of a Strategic Plan setting out the priorities for the next four years.

Strategic Planning

Over the past few months the Board have been developing a long term strategic plan The development of this Strategic Plan has provided an opportunity to reflect on our past, build on the good foundations we have developed over the past twelve years and start to look forward to the next phase for Inspiring Communities Together.

Our own organisational values and principles of working are similar to those set out by Salford City Council. Whilst we in no way wish to replicate a council model our approach goes a long way to helping the wider partnership of Salford deliver positive outcomes for local people.

Going forward we now need to aligning our business practices, resources, and people power to support long-term stability of our Charity. This includes

To achieve this we have identified five Strategic Pillars that help frame how the organistion will move forward:

Finally we will embed Social Value as a core part of our operational programme, measuring the impact of those we aim to help through our social, environmental and economic impact

Strategy in practise

Between 2024 – 2028 Our overarching approach will organise all our business practices and staff efforts towards the outcomes we seek for individuals : housing stability, systems of support, financial stability, and wellness.

Our Strategic plan outlines the operational steps and investments necessary for Inspiring Communities Together to fully implement an outcomes focused approach to programme delivery and operational execution. At the end of the four-year plan, we will have implemented the key initiatives described below to focus on the vision of creating:

Places where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and participate in making a positive difference to their neighbourhood

Strategic Priority one – Improve our impact through good-quality, high impact delivery programme

Strategic Priority two – Strengthen business practise to support high performance

Strategic Priority three – Ensure the organisation is meeting our governance requirements

Structure, governance and management

The trustees are responsible for the strategic management and direction of the organisation. The day to day management is delegated to the Chief Executive. Board meetings are now held 4 times a year and sub- committees and task groups meet as necessary. No sub committee or task groups met during 2023/24.

The organisation is made up of Elected and Nominated Trustees who are nominated by the named organisations as set out within the constitution – currently: Salford City Council and Salford University.

The Board agreed to review the date of their AGM (the AGM originally was set for October each year) to enable members to receive information about what ICT has delivered in a timely manner. The AGM for 2023/2024 will take place in September 2024.

for the year ended 31 March 2024

All Trustees are inducted by the Chair and Chief Executive and are provide with a Trustee Manual outlining their roles and responsibilities. Trustees complete a skills audit and are given opportunities for training. The trustees also complete a bi-annual self-assessment tool (VIP dial). As part of the ongoing review of governance all Trustees will also now receive an informal 1-1 session with the Chair each year to discuss their performance.

The Charity is affiliated to the following organisations that provide advice, guidance and support:

The organisation is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered as a charity on 14th May 2014 in England and Wales.

The charity is constituted under a constitution 14th May 2014. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. The liability of the trustees in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 each.

The Charity Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit

During 2015/16 it was agreed by the Trustees to remove the financial benefit made to the Chair although the right to make payments to Trustees remains within the constitution. Currently all trustees give their time voluntarily. The Chair however receives a benefit in kind as their own Charities operate from the office space of ICT. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 10 to the accounts.

Related parties and relationships with other organisations

The Board of Trustees role is to ensure a benefit to the community of Greater Manchester and neighbourhood districts. To enable this to happen Trustees are actively encouraged to have a relationship with other organisations operating within the neighbourhoods. All elected trustees are local residents and may from time to time benefit from activity we deliver. Some may have key roles including board membership of other groups and charities within the neighbourhoods we deliver who may benefit from the work being carried out by Inspiring Communities Together including staff time and resources provided by the organisation other than financial.

A Local councillor is allocated a position on the Board of Inspiring Communities Together as the nominated Trustee for Salford City Council. This may from time to time bring into conflict their role within the as a Trustee of ICT and their work within the neighbourhood and Salford City Council. A clear conflict of interest policy has been developed and all Trustees have signed their commitment to this way of working.

A register of interests is held and conflicts of interest are a standard agenda item at all board meetings.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel

The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually through the appointments and remuneration sub group. As a small Charity the Trustees have taken the decision to benchmark against pay levels set by NJC to reward employees fairly and recognise the diverse needs of the workforce alongside attracting, retaining and training people with the skills needed for the future.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Inspiring Communities Together meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.

i Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated

Outdoor equipment 10% Computer equipment 33%

j Fixed asset investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

k Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

l Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

m Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

n Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

o Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included in note 8.

The money purchase plan is managed by NEST and the plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan a pension fund which is then converted into a pension upon the employee’s normal retirement year age when eligible for a state pension. The total expense ratio of the plan is 0.3% and this is deducted from the investment fund annually. The trust has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions. There were no contributions outstanding at the year-end.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered as a charity in England & Wales.
