## **A MESSAGE FROM THE TRUSTEES** 

Yet again Totley Community Resource and Information Centre has had a very good year and goes from strength to strength 

This year we have been developing plans to significantly refurbish and develop the library building.  We are replacing the fixed shelving in the adult section with movable ones so we can create a second community space, with Phase 1 due for completion in October 2025 with Phases 2 and 3 to follow in 2026 depending on fundraising.  More detail is in the Building section below. 

In March this year we were able to acquire a Pop-up Shop in a prominent area on the main road in S17.  This has been very fruitful in terms of improving the public profile and awareness of the library and all that it offers.  We have sold books and jigsaws and have had people coming forward to volunteer for various areas in the library.  Book donations have also increased 

We have had to medical students again this year.  They carried out a very useful survey of our community users with ideas that we may wish to develop in the future. 

I would especially like to thank the Book Processing team who spend very many hours ensuring the there is always a fabulous selection of books on offer on our shelves. The statistics show that we are lending out books at a very high rate, which is core to our mission. 

Particularly thanks need to go especially to the group of 8 Day Coordinators who work tirelessly to ensure the daily operational side of the library goes smoothly 

The trustees also want to acknowledge that very many volunteers do their work unseen, such as the building maintenance, baking, website, events management, snow clearing and many more. 

We are pleased to have various community groups that meet in the library and have conversations with the local schools and churches to keep up links in our community Our local councillors continue to support us when we have issues that they might assist us with 

In terms of finance we have reached our year end in a relatively good position but as you will see from the treasurer’s report we do spend a considerable amount of time trying to be prudent managers of the funds that the library has and without the valiant efforts from all the various fundraising events and the lottery we would be in a more precarious position so again thanks to all involved.

## **1. Objectives and activities** 

## **1.1        Public benefit statement** 

Totley CRIC has defined its charitable purpose or public benefits statement, as follows: 

‘The objects of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) are to advance and promote education for the benefit of the general public in the city of Sheffield and elsewhere and in particular (but not exclusively) the inhabitants of Totley in the City of Sheffield (the “area of benefit”) who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, and regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, race, political or religious opinions, by establishing and providing community based library facilities and associated services.  In furtherance of this object the CIO shall have the power (but not the obligation) to manage a building or any such buildings as is needed from time to time for the purposes of providing a community-based library to the public in the area of benefit’. 

The Trustees of Totley CRIC believe that during the 11th year of operation the organisation has complied fully with the duty to have regard for the legal requirement to provide ‘public benefit ’acting in accordance with the public benefits statement detailed above. 

## **1.2 Our volunteers** 

At present we have 141 volunteers and have a steady input of new volunteers each quarter We have numerous teams including the buildings team, book processing team, cinema team, communications team, gardening team, snow clearing team and others. We try to monitor the hours that they put in via the rota but in fact they put very many extra hours in behind the scenes ensuring the smooth running of the library. 

We offer an introduction process for new volunteers with training and follow up. 

## **1.3. Library services** 

It has now been over 10 years since Totley CRIC took over the library from Sheffield City Council as a volunteer run charity. The library is open for twenty seven hours a week plus extra hours for community groups when the library is closed { Poetry Group, Book groups, Chair Aerobics, Cinema, Walking group, Friends of Gillfield Woods, Friends of Dore and Totley Station, History Group , Natter Group, children’s French class )We have various arts and crafts including  Lego and others. We have Baby Time and Story time events each week 

The computers continue to be well used, and we have improved our internet provision. 

Photocopying services are available 

The library provides a Totley Community Art Space where local artists can display and sell their work to the community. 

The library was registered as part of the “Warm Spaces” initiative providing drinks. 

We aspire to develop other services for the community, but this is very much dependent on volunteer capacity and finances.

## **1.4    Community activities and events** 

The library has a cinema which shows 2 or 3  films each month on Thursday afternoons for older people, Friday evenings for adults and Sunday for family films. 

The library puts on a Christmas Fair and a Plant Sale annually which are both very well attended and appreciated by the community. 

We have book sales bimonthly on Saturday afternoons. 

We support and attend the Dore and Totley Shows. 

Our AGM is an evening event with refreshments where volunteers can meet up to review the year. 

Totley library takes part in the Summer Reading Challenge. Many family groups came into the library over the summer holidays and over the first few weeks over 300 were registered and 60 children got their first ever library card.  It has been a huge success 

## **2. Achievements and performance** 

## **2.1   Strategy review** 

The Trustees have begun a review of CRIC’s overall strategy to underpin a new 5 year strategic plan.  While we are convinced that we will primarily remain a library, with associated community services and facilities, we want to make sure we are providing what library users and potential users want and that we are serving our wider community in ways that they value. We know our community is changing and we have observed that the demographic in Totley is changing, with more diversity and more, younger people. 

We intend to develop a stronger link between our strategy and how we measure what we are doing for the community, as a way of demonstrating to funders and our stakeholders that CRIC remains a valuable part of our community.  We are also looking at ways to make ourselves more resilient in the face of funding and other challenges. 

## **2.2 Book purchasing, processing and lending** 

Totley library continued to function well as a library in the year 2024/25, with our book loan figures (see below) increasing by approximately 7%. During this period we issued over 44,000 books to library users. The increase in loan rates reflect increased footfall in the library and increased borrowing.  More detailed analysis of the loan rates shows that the children’s library in particular, was very popular and well used. The extremely high loan rates in July and Aug 24 owe a great deal to the successful promotion of the Children’s Reading Challenge when we saw children from all four local primary schools enthusiastically participating in the challenge. 

What is perhaps more difficult to capture is just how much the library has become a “welcoming” space for older people and young families to spend time. There is a 

5 



definite after-school buzz in the library with many families coming regularly to enjoy the space to meet with friends. It is noticeable that the after-school sessions, and school holiday sessions in the children’s library have become more ethnically diverse. 

What is also difficult to record is the frequent expression of gratitude across all age ranges at the quality and quantity of our book stock. 

## **Book purchasing and book processing costs** 

At the end of this period, we had approx. 8000 books on the Totley Loans OS (Orange Sticker) scheme.  Over this period, 72% of books added to stock were purchased and 28% were “as new” donated. 

In 2024/25 we spent a total of £7,139.27 (including processing costs) on new books In total, we added 1,282 books to the library shelves. 

Most of the books we bought were added to our own OS stock and we received very little new stock from Sheffield City Council.

We continue to attract new library users.  Managing book stock (lost and missing books)  is an ongoing issue. 

## **3       Building and improvements** 

The building was constructed in 1974 so is now more than 50 years old.  This presents a challenge in respect of day-to-day general maintenance along with a longer view as to what items in the building fabric are likely to either need significant maintenance or replacement in the coming years where allocation of financial reserves needs to be made. The strategy is to adopt a regular and proactive approach to maintenance to prolong the life of the building fabric with economic cost and minimal disruption to the community we serve. 

This year we have been developing plans to significantly refurbish and develop the library building at the moment we have two spaces i.e. the children’s library and the adult library. These are well used outside of library hours by various community groups and for events etc. We are able to clear the furniture from the  children’s area to create a usable space for events and the cinema etc. but the adult library space has been hampered by heavy static shelving as such we are developing plans to replace the fixed shelving and furniture  in the children’s area to bring the overall space up to date .In the adult area the intention is to replace the fixed furniture with “mobile” shelving to enable the space to be readily opened up to create a large open area for group use and community events thereby 

6 



enabling an increase in our offering to the community who may which to rent space for regular or one off activities/events.  These plans are being developed with an intention to adopt a phased approach; Phase 1 having a targeted completion in October2025 with Phases 2 and 3 to follow in 2026 depending on fundraising. 

## 4. **Marketing and communications** 

We use a variety of Social Media outlets to communicate information about Totley CRIC. Volunteers help update Facebook, Posters etc. 

A monthly e-newsletter goes out to all volunteers. 

We have articles in the Totley Independent and Dore to Dore Magazines which are free magazines which cover the S17 area. 

The Totley CRIC website www.totleycric.org.uk has all the up-to-date information about opening hours, activities, new books, cinema programs, events etc.   sales such as the Plant sale and Christmas events are well supported by the community 

## **5. Structure, governance and management** 

## **5.1         Trustees** 

In line with the charity’s Constitution Totley CRIC is managed by a group of 8 Trustees. 

They lead in various areas of the library i.e. Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, Operational, Buildings, Events, Fundraising, Strategy, Book processing/management. 

The Trustees and their roles can be seen in full on the charity commission website 

## **5.2        Governance** 

Totley CRIC is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with details of the charity’s governance arrangements set out in its Constitution which was adopted at a General Members meeting held in March 2015. 

The membership of Totley CRIC is made up of all registered volunteers involved in the charity.  The Trustees are accountable to this wider membership for the work they undertake. The charity currently has a wide range of interested volunteers who work with trustees to make decisions about the library’s future. 

Totley CRIC is led by the Board of Trustees. Several current trustees are also involved in the oversight of other bodies including charities and public-sector organisations with all trustees being clear about their responsibilities and about the principles of good governance. 

Formal meetings of the trustees are held on a regular basis to manage the business of the charity. Minutes of meetings are circulated to the volunteers. The constitution of Totley CRIC specifies that the board of trustees shall meet at a minimum six times each year with meetings currently being held bi-monthly. 

7 



## **5.3 Management arrangements** 

In addition to the trustees, Totley CRIC has an excellent core group of eight day coordinators, who take day to day responsibility for the delivery of the service and coordinating activities in the library. The day coordinators ensure that volunteer rotas have enough volunteers in place to ensure shifts are covered and that volunteers are trained and supported. 

Each library shift has an allocated shift leader, who is a volunteer trained both to use the library management system, and in the overall management of the library.  Shift leaders are responsible for both building and service during their shift. 

We have monthly meetings with the other community run libraries along with the council lead representative for Sheffield libraries. 

We are active members of the Community Managed Libraries Network who have been helpful and supportive 

## **6 Financial review** 

## **6.1 Funding for the year** 

During the year ended 31st March 2025 we were very pleased to receive an Associate Libraries grant of £16,198 from Sheffield City Council together with a further grant of £1,000 to help with the purchase of books during the forthcoming year to 31st March 2026. In addition, we received grants from Sheffield City Council which financed a defibrillator battery £280, a repair to the library roof £4,613 and the setup of our pop-up book shop £1,708. 

## **6.2 Income from charitable events, donations and from our lottery** 

Income from donations has reduced excepting a bequest amounting to £14,863. A training contract with the University of Sheffield is a useful new income stream raising £5,096 in the year. (2024 £5,096) and most welcome was an increase in our book sale income this year amounting to £6,705 compared with £3,766 last year. Lottery income after prizes remains an important source of self-generated funds but has remained largely static. This year £5,492 compared with last year £5,379. 

## **6.3 Restricted funds** 

As noted above we received local authority grants which have been spent on the running costs of the library. 

## **6.4 Charitable resources** 

We acknowledge that charitable funds should be spent on charitable activities as soon as is reasonably practical after they have been received. It is contrary to the principles of the Charities Act for charities to accumulate unspent money without good reason. However, we do need to retain sufficient reserves for known liabilities and contingencies, absorb setbacks and take advantage of changes and opportunities. 

8 



Monies held at the bank include a book purchase grant from our local authority amounting to £1,000 and will be available for spending in the forthcoming year. The defibrillator grant of £280 and the unspent pop up shop grant £842 will be spent in the forthcoming year. 

## **6.5 Reserves policy** 

Our balance sheet at 31st March 2025 states that the level of unrestricted current asset reserves amounted to £103,845. (2014 £80,713). This is current assets of £113,615 less creditors of £9,770. We have considered the Charity Commissioner’s guidelines and are happy that this represents an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves. This policy is reviewed regularly in line with our perceptions of risk. 

Our specific concerns are: 

a. A local authority grant which does not increase with inflation or indeed may not be received in future years. We have reserved one year’s grant amounting to £16,198. 

b. We have a repairing lease and may well incur considerable costs if the fabric of the building required repair. This is particularly relevant to the roof which is known to be in a poor state of repair. After an assessment we have reserved £30,000 for building repairs. 

c. We have reserved £9,000 to purchase a new library booking system. 

d. We consider our library should be refurbished with the purchase of new shelving and equipment which will provide a brighter look and improve the functionality of the premises. We reserve £35,220. 

## **6.6 Surplus** 

Income for the year to 31st March 2025 comprised of grant income of £23,799 plus self generated income of £48,192 totalling £71,991. From this figure expenditure amounted to £52,223 giving a surplus of £19,768. Thus grant income represented 33.06 % of total income. 

For comparison income for the year to 31st March 2024 comprised of grant income of £18,348 plus self-generated income of £30,197 totaling £48,545. From this figure expenditure amounted to £41,592 giving a surplus of £6,953. Thus, grant income represented 37.8 % of total income. 

## **6.7 Financial and activity monitoring** 

The trustees receive financial reports on a two monthly basis. 

## **7 Reference and administrative details**

Totley Community Resource and Information Centre
Independent Examiner Review
YE 31 March 2025
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Totley Community Resource and
Information Centre
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Totley Community Resource and
Information Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordan￿ with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act,).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the
2011 Act and 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
I have completed my examination. 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act. OT
2, the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no COn￿rnS and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
