Introduction

Wow, 2024 has been an amazing year! At the end of 2023, we estimated that 26,628 people had visited The Arc. Our data shows that this has increased to almost 32,000 with our community supporting a varied programme of activities and events. This, of course, helps us on our journey to becoming self-sustaining which is vitally important, especially in the current economic climate.

The increase in provision of and participation in sporting activities is welcome but we are particularly pleased to see the use of The Arc for therapy, one of the original aims of the charity back in 2019.

Our social media presence continues to grow with an increase of over 400 Facebook followers, to 1872, and our new Instagram account is starting to gain momentum.

There was a very positive reaction to our website, which was redesigned and relaunched in 2023. Over 3000 people visited our website, most by organic search, which show us that our profile is gradually being raised. More hirers are using the website to book parties, hire the room for classes and visit our What’s On pages. This is particularly important as The Arc is run by a very small team. In fact, all 4 members of staff are part time and the centre runs on less than 2 full time equivalents and our valuable team of volunteers. Aside from hiring, it is interesting to note that Little Stars generated a lot of ‘hits’ demonstrating the need for the provision, followed by our first beer festival, which was a great vehicle for bringing the community together through sessions for families and real ale enthusiasts alike.

Cohesion

- The Arc Groups

Our portfolio of Arc Groups grew this year. Our Thursday afternoon Over 60s exercise group became so well attended that we decided to start a 2[nd] one which is proving equally popular. A massive thank you to members of the Co-op, who chose us as their cause, raising funds for us each time they shopped to help cover the cost of our amazing instructor.

Completely new to us is Warhammer. Described as the ultimate hobby for collecting, building and painting armies and engaging in strategic tabletop battles, we provide a safe space for those wanting to take their hobby a little further and play against others in the community.

Our established groups, Little Stars and Table Tennis continue to be well attended and much appreciated by attendees of all ages. Tuesday Treks is much more than just a walk, with attendees valuing the opportunity to socialise and enjoy a bacon butty or cheese and tomato toastie at our pop up café after their walk.

Energise, Grow, Peace

2024 also saw our first Wellbeing Week. A week of activities, offered completely free of charge, to help boost the mental and physical health of attendees. Most classes were fully booked within a week or so of going live and we are very grateful to Miller Homes who gave us a grant which helped make this happen. Feedback was extremely positive and as a result, we are putting on more soundbaths, an extra yoga class and Tai Chi in 2025. Talking to participants, we also realised there was a demand for more craft-based activities and will be adding that to our focus for 2025.

Our long term hirers offering taekwondo and Pilates have expanded to meet demand

We are delighted to be able to assist the NHS by offering our space for their pulmonary and respiratory rehabilitation clinic. We believe it is so important to be able to offer health care in the community and this sits alongside Vita Health Care, who offer the NHS Talking Therapy programme from the centre 3 days a week.

The Arc continues to host regular bookings for people of different faiths with weekly services from STB Church, Muslim study sessions with AMAS, a youth group with The Well Church and a monthly Iranian community group. We are proud to be a safe space for all members of our community.

Entertain, Everyone

It’s fair to say that the community now expect certain events from The Arc during the year. We try not to disappoint and replicated our favourites of the previous year. Our fundraising fashion show was first on the calendar, closely – followed by a family Easter fun day. Our community day in August saw a visit from the Fire Brigade very popular with younger children - BBuddies and the local PCSO and beat officers came to talk about cycle safety. We hosted our inaugral beer festival (an initiative developed from the really popular monthly pop up pub, run by Zander Events) which went down very well! The last weekend of October was very busy with both our Christmas Gift and Craft fair (shop early for Christmas!) and our Halloween Party. The Christmas party saw around 200 through the door and santas grotto sold out in 2 days!

We will endaevour to continue to bring people together to celebrate, socialise and have fun, key elements of our mission as a charity.

Our People

Our chair of Trustees, Operations Manager and one of our key volunteers were all recognised as Charnwood Community Heroes this year. The fact remains that we could not run The Arc without the support of our volunteers, whether they be our trustees, responsible for the strategic direction of the charity, our Tuesday kitchen team (Ang and Thomasina) our Little Stars volunteers (Jo, Helen, Emma, Zoe, Jazvinder, Stella, Pauline, Gemma, Brogan and Nellie) our keyholders (Nicholas, Liz, Jason and Meetal) our des igner of the What’s On Guide (Kat) and those who help fix things, paint things or help at events (Bill, Kitty, Sue, Sandy, David and Helen). They are all heroes!

Funders

As a registered charity, we do not receive regular sources of income from external bodies so rely heavily on income from hirers. Whether this be a party or a regular weekly class, this income stream meets the majority of our costs. In a year that has seen massive increases in utilities, our increase in hirers has been crucial on our journey to becoming self-sustaining.

We are extremely grateful to organisations who have appreciated the need for the services we provide and responded favourably to grant applications. Our biggest donor is the Garfield Weston Foundation who awarded us a two year grant to help with running costs. This just about covered our gas and electricity costs in 2024 and we look forward to the cushion that this grant will give us in 2025.

Other grants have been for specific projects and we are very thankful to the Co-op and Active Charnwood for awarding us grants to cover the cost of an instructor for our Over 60s exercise group, especially as demand was so high, we started a 2[nd] group. The East Midlands Community Fund kindly agreed to cover the costs of some large scale games for community events and The Helen Jean Cope Foundation have provided funding for the Little Stars group which spanned the autumn of 2024 into summer 2025. Miller Homes, as previously mentioned awarded us funding which was used for our wellbeing week and its legacy and finally Charnwood Borough Council have contributed towards the employment costs of a part time caretaker who joins us in February 2025.

We must also give a shout out to Tesco, Shelthorpe. Their community champion, Caroline, is a great supporter of The Arc and we have been grateful recipients of prizes, tea and coffee throughout the year.

We continue to benefit from the clothing bank in our carpark, receiving payment per ton of your unwanted clothing, bags and shoes and receive a small percentage from shopping done via Easyfundraising, a free platform which we would love you to consider joining to help us in 2025.

Going Forward

2024 was an amazing year for us. We had an unprecented increase in hirers and raised our online profile massively. 2025 will be about consolidating that and building on our successes.

We believe we have a greater understanding of your priorities and will continue to work to deliver them in a sustainable manner. Our provision of exercise for the over 60s will continue and will be complimented by Tai Chi, aimed at all ages and abilites. The desire for craft activities will be met initially by a new crochet social group (including cake!) and we will consider how else to meet your requests for more arts based activities.

Provision of therapy and health care in the community is close to our hearts and the NHS pulmonary and respiratory clinics are a long term commitment covering the next 3 years. We expect Vita Health Care’s team of mental health experts, working in partnership with the NHS, to continue to offer face to face talking therapy from the centre during 2025, and hopefully beyond.

It was disappointing to see the fall in demand for a youth group in 2024 and the provision, which was delivered for us by Go Getta, ceased in the autumn. We will review ways of meeting need for youth activites in 2025 but hope our Warhammer group will attract some of the young people in the community.

We have received some great feedback about our events and activities and will act on points raised where possible. – You said that you missed the Easter trail in 2024 don’t worry, it will be back in 2025! Our last major survey was in 2023 and we intend to repeat that in 2025 to ensure that we are responsive to changing need.

We are here for all residents of the Grange Park, Shelthorpe, Fairmeadows and Woodthorpe estates and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Section C
Recognition of income
2.2 INCOME
Donated goods
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
Donated services and
facilities
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Support costs
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Legacies
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Income from membership
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
This is only included in the SOFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Note 2 Accounting policies
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Notes to the accounts
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
 it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.

Grants with performance conditions 2.4 ASSETS Governance and support costs Creditors Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Where the charity gives 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 recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Investments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.	Yes No N/a*	Yes No N/a*	Yes No N/a*
