## **Trustees’ Annual Report 1 November 2024 to 31st October 2025** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with section 162 of the Charities Act 2011 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission about reporting requirements for Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs).  It should be read alongside STAND’s **Financial Report and Statement of Accounts for the 2024/25 financial year.** 

The Financial Report and Statement of Accounts was prepared in accordance with the charity’s constitution, the Charities Act 1993, Section 145(5) (b) of the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2005. 

Further details about STAND and its governance, aims and objectives are included in Appendix 2 of this report. 

## **Looking back over 2024-25** 

The past year has been another successful one, and we have performed well as a library service and community hub, offering an up to date and high-quality book collection and hosting popular events, community groups and school visits. We have also successfully increased our fund-raising, and the total income in 24- 25 from sales, hire and fundraising events was £11,898 compared with £9,848 in 23-24. We have welcomed a number of new volunteers and also a new committee member, and kept the library open for all our usual times apart from one day when the boiler was being replaced. We wish to thank all our volunteers and supporters, as none of this would have been possible without their hard work and commitment. 

## **Successes** 

**Energy Saving Project** : This has been one of our big success stories this year. The aim of this energy saving project is to obtain a new efficient gas boiler, improve the building’s insulation so that we use less heat, and install solar panels and storage batteries to generate electricity, lower our energy consumption (and bills) and improve our carbon footprint. 

The project began in July 2024, with advice from the South Yorkshire Funding Bureau, and gathering quotations from solar panel installers and heating engineers. Once we had got our information together, we were able to make a grant application to the Low Carbon Community and Culture Fund (administered by the Department for Levelling Up, via the South Yorkshire Combined Mayoral Authority). 

The application was successful, and we were awarded a grant of £19,188. The project was completed in February 2025, and we immediately noticed that the heating was much more efficient and that we were generating enough electricity to reduce our overall energy consumption. It has proved more challenging to set up a feed in tariff with our energy suppliers, which we have now got in place. 

Over the past 9 months, we exported about £700 worth of electricity to the national grid, although we have only just been able to agree an export tariff so that we can benefit financially from doing this. In future, the combined effect of reduced energy consumption and exported electricity means we expect to save over £1K a year and to see a considerable reduction in our carbon footprint. We hope to be able to report back on this in more detail next year. 

We wish to thank the project team and everyone involved in making this project such a success. Special thanks go to Carole Allen, who has put in many hours of additional work chasing up our feed in tariff and dealing with all sorts of unexpected complications. If it were not for her thoughtful tenacity, we would not have been able to get the tariff agreed.

## **Partnership with Bradfield Parish Council** 

Since February 2024, Stannington Library has been in a Working Partnership with Bradfield Parish Council, which may sometimes be agreed where a local group’s work benefits parish residents and communities. Under the partnership agreement, we are able to apply each year for a grant, and we are pleased to report that this year we again received the generous sum of £7000. Of this, £5,000 will cover the cost of new books, which will enable us to refresh and renew our stock of books including large print, audiobooks, and children’s non-fiction. The other £2,000 is funding our community groups for the year (The Tuesday Club, Baby Time and Story Time). 

These groups bring people together and help build community well-being and mental health, so they are a very important part of the library’s central role in the community and our success as a community hub. Baby Time and Story Time benefit children under 5 and their carers, by providing a friendly relaxing space for play activities, the opportunity to socialise with other children, and the fun of stories and books. The Tuesday Club welcomes anyone who may be socially isolated, or simply seeking new friends, and is continually oversubscribed. We are very grateful to Bradfield Parish Council for this funding, which will once again guarantee our most essential activities. 

We would also like to offer our grateful thanks to all the volunteers who help run the groups and make them so successful. These volunteers are very dedicated to making sure the groups happen, and we greatly appreciate and value their work. The groups are also fun to support, and we would very much welcome any additional volunteers from the community to come and help us to organise them. 

## **Summer Reading Challenge 2025** 

For this summer’s Reading Challenge, children were invited to borrow, read and return at least 6 books, for each of which they would receive a sticker. Once they completed the challenge, they would receive a certificate and a medal.158 children signed up to do the challenge and a fantastic 96 children completed it. Our schools co-ordinator Phil Warhurst visited local schools and presented the certificates, and we also gave out a special prize at each school. Our thanks go to Phil, Shelagh, Dot and all the other volunteers who worked hard to make sure the Reading Challenge went well. 

The participation figures were collected by Sheffield Libraries, and collated for the city and also nationally. Our figures showed 24 more children completed the challenge compared with last year, making our completion rate 61%. 

Interestingly, across Sheffield, the overall finishing rate was 41%, and this also reflected the national rate. Apparently, more children signed up  than in previous years, but the finishing rate was down. The take-up rate was down too, for children over the age of 10. We think this may have been down to social media and the rather junior nature of the prizes (our puppet prizes probably acted as a motivation, helping to make our figures higher). 

## **Upgrade of IT systems** 

Over the past year, our **IT team** has put a lot of effort into improving the library computer systems by implementing a new version of Koha and also supporting the upgrade of the council LMS computers to Windows 11. They achieved this through careful preparation, e.g. by ensuring all links were restored following the upgrades, with the result that these were completed correctly without any hiccups. We would like to thank Shelagh and the Thursday morning team for all their hard work.

## **Library Survey** 

This summer, we conducted a survey of library users , the last one having been in 2018. The latest one was conducted between 12[th] July and 10[th] August 2025, using the library website, face-book page, and QR code connections. Paper copies were available in the library. We had a total of 108 responses, 39 completed paper copies, completed in the library, the remaining 69 completed the survey through one of the on-line media sites. 

We did not collect any information on the responder’s gender, social status or ethnic origin, or post-code, however we did ask their age. 

The main findings were very positive, with many users happy with the library and its services. There were also many points of interest raised, which we will be considering over the coming months. For example, we are starting a project on how the library could be made more accessible for people with sensory or motor impairments, neuro-divergence or age-related conditions. The survey included questions about accessibility for users, to help the project team understand users’ views and needs in this area. 

The survey was very successful, in that we received a good number of responses, and plenty of useful information to inform our plans for the library. However, our scope and speed of action is inevitably limited by the need to obtain grants to fund building improvements, plus the need for a good supply of volunteers. 

The survey team (Shelagh and Sarah) have produced a detailed summary of the survey findings, and some of the key areas are shown below. Sarah has also drafted a report on the findings and suggesting how we should respond. We are very grateful to them for all their hard work, which has resulted in valuable insights that are not only reassuring but can also be used to help us run the library even better. If anyone wants to see the detailed results, please let us know. 

## Initial Findings 

- 97.2% respondents used the library. 

- 34.3% use the library on a weekly basis. 

- 90.4% borrow books from the library. 28.8% come to buy donated books and jigsaws. 

- 70.4% rated our library as excellent, 26.9% rated us as good. 

- 44.4% of our users are aged over 60. 33.3% are children under the age of 11. None of the respondents was in the 12-17 years age group. 

3 = no   105 = yes 

**If No, please say why:** 5 responses

STAND Trustees annual report 24-25 V1 



- I use a kindle 

- Love the books they have on offer 

- Got out of the habit now my children are grown. 

- Nearest Library, Volunteer from 2013 

- Not open when I finish work 

Positive responses: We provide friendship, an excellent service, and that the library is part of the community. We offer plenty of activities for children, a relaxed space, a valuable community resource, and the volunteers are valued and appreciated and are seen as being friendly and professional. It is felt that we have a broad selection of books which are in kept in a good condition. The simple fact that we exist is appreciated by many. We are seen as being inclusive, child friendly, and that we are a safe and peaceful space. 

There were some interesting suggestions for what more we could do, such as improving the accessibility of the building, and showing how we welcome for vulnerable and marginalised people. There were suggestions for a larger selection of large print books, wider opening hours including later times, and a quiet comfy corner for children. There was definite support for the idea that we need more space. In general, though, the survey responses were very heartening and showed that over 70% of respondents rate us as excellent.

## **Events** 

As we know, events are very important in putting the library at the heart of the local community, and opening it up to new readers and volunteers. Following the retirement of Bob Mynors last year, Phil Warhust is our chief impresario, and several other people volunteered to form an Events Team.  Their first job this year was to organise either a Story Festival, or something very like it, to celebrate our 11[th] year of keeping Stannington Library open. They responded by organising a Fun Palace that included story telling in a big gazebo in the park next to the library. As things turned out, the event couldn’t have gone better (see below). If  anyone else would like to join the volunteer Events Team and help to make the coming year’s events a similar success, this would be wonderful and you would be very welcome. 

## **Stannington Library Fun Palace** 

Fun Palaces are events where local people with an interest, skill or hobby are invited to share it with others so more people get the chance to have a taster session. They are run by and for local communities, and are free, open to all ages, inclusive and participative. Fun Palaces started as the brainchild of theatre director Joan Littlewood, who wanted to encourage community-led participation in arts, science, and culture. 

In our Fun Palace, we had board games, stories in a big tent, adults and children's crafts, Lego, microscopes, model railways, giant Jenga and Connect 4 in the garden, and a smartphone surgery. It was great fun, brilliant weather, and attracted lots of new people, especially young families (very good for the library). 

To help make sure the outdoor story tent was a success, we purchased a new PA system and microphones. This turned out to be an excellent investment, and the equipment is also useful for groups and speakers inside the library as it has sophisticated acoustic capabilities meaning it makes voices a lot clearer without being too loud. 

The attendance was good (about 250 people over the day) and reflected the advance publicity on our website and social media as well as local noticeboards. We observed that the spread of ages of those who attended was very different to previous events. We also received lots of cash donations, despite it being a ‘not for profit’ event. We learned a lot about how to run Fun Palaces, and we hope we have sparked off ideas in people’s minds, about new hobbies they could take up or groups they could set up. 

Many thanks go to everyone involved, especially the Fun Palace Makers, the stewards, and the volunteers who put so much effort into planning and organising it. We would also like to thank RivelinCo for their support, and we are very grateful to the councillors on the Sheffield North Local Area Committee (LAC) who gave us a generous grant to fund the event. 

The events team will be considering what format to adopt for future Story Festivals, which we would like to continue with if we can. We may combine it with a Fun Palace again, or we might hold smaller ones during half terms, or collaborate with other organisations. 

## **Tea and Cakes in the Library** 

This event continues to be very popular, and we receive excellent feedback about it. Over the past year we have observed that it is attracting new people, and also providing a great opportunity for everyone to meet up with friends old and new. It now makes around £200 each month (often more) and we would like to thank the wonderful volunteer team who work so hard baking the cakes and making sure everything runs smoothly.

## **Looking back over 2024- 25: Challenges** 

The challenges we have experienced this year are very similar to those on which we reported last year.  While we have done well this year in recruitment for the front line, we still need more volunteers, for projects and admin work. We would also like to increase the number of committee members, to aid our  succession planning, especially as some committee members already have several roles, plus we have had 2 retirements and some health issues. 

The shortage of volunteers is also affecting our ability to set up new activities (games afternoons, half term events, film club) and it is sometimes difficult to find enough volunteers for existing ones (Baby time, school visits, hosting new groups in the library, or mentoring Duke of Edinburgh Award placements). This problem is being felt not only in other volunteer libraries in Sheffield, but nationwide and across all voluntary organisations, and we are looking at options to address it. 

We still aim to build an extension to the library, to create an expanded children’s library plus more space for our book collections, groups and events, although we recognise that more volunteer resources will be needed for such a project. Again, this is being challenging for us, as we are still struggling to get our 25-year lease agreed. At the moment, the delays are down to our own solicitor, and the Council is waiting for us to sign it. We need the longer lease to enable us to apply for significant capital grants to fund the extension project, so this is something we are certainly going to pursue. 

The library building is also suffering some wear and tear and is starting to need more maintenance repairs – not surprisingly, as we have occupied it for 11 years. We have replaced the front shutter and are repairing the one in the kitchen, plus we are looking at getting quotes and options for replacing the outer and inner front doors (hopefully to be funded by some new grant applications). We also need to upgrade our fire alarm system. These are quite complex projects, so it has been suggested that we return to having a building sub-committee, to provide back up to the Building Manager and to help take the work forward. 

## **Performance against our objectives** 

Our objectives for 2024-25 were challenging, and for some of them, progress has been hampered by new developments such as volunteer health issues, new priority maintenance projects, and the need for new volunteers. Nevertheless, overall the year has been a successful one, with many objectives achieved, although we still want to carry some forward to the next year, and to do our best to complete them. 

||**2024/25 Objectives**|**Progress**|

## **Objectives for 2025/26** 

Over the next year, our aim will be to continue with improving the resilience and sustainability, of our operation and the building, and to work on objectives brought forward from last year, as well as new fund-raising initiatives and particular areas that merit development.

## **Fundraising** 

We learned early on that although the mainstay of a good library is its collection of books, this can’t be maintained without many other equally vital factors - in particular adequate funding  - and most importantly the careful stewardship by our Treasurer of our income from grants and fund-raising. Our grateful thanks go to Cheryl Whiteman for all her patience and hard work, and for doing such a wonderful job throughout the year. 

We would also like to express our special gratitude to Pat Chapman, who has continued to provide back up during the year, as well as working on purchasing and applying for grants. Pat is retiring this year, after a notable 11 years with Stannington Library, which she was determined to save right from the start. Her dedication, strategic overview and financial knowhow have been absolutely fundamental to our continued success, and we offer all our good wishes for the future both to her and to Alan (who has provided magnificent back up). 

Thanks go too to our Finance Team, for all their assistance with book keeping and monitoring our financial strategy. Anyone who has witnessed the hive of industry that is the library on a Monday morning will know the amount of energy, hard work and cups of tea the finance team members put in, and we thank them for their accuracy, attention to detail, and perseverance. 

Income and grants: Sheffield City Council has continued to fund us, for which we are very grateful, as the grant covers key overheads and we could not survive without it. The Council continues to keep the volunteer libraries’ support package under review, and there is of course no guarantee that the grant will stay the same, or even continue in payment. 

We also wish to thank Christ Church Stannington for their generous grant to help buy books. The church has been consistently supportive, and we are very grateful to them. 

We have continued to benefit from donations from Friends of Stannington Library, business supporters, and our green collection pots in local shops. We are very grateful to everyone who has donated to us, and to our volunteer team for all their hard work  to help encourage and log this income. 

The Financial Report and Statement of Accounts for 2024/25  shows income and expenditure up to 31[st] March 2025. **The table at Appendix 1** below shows our expenses and income for the period since then (April to September 2025). 

## **Conclusion** 

We have achieved some remarkable successes this year, although we have faced the usual challenges, and our solar energy project is a real step forward and an investment in the library’s future and sustainability. These developments will enable us to continue drawing new users in to the library, and serving the local community.

## **Appendix 2 - Information about STAND** 

Stannington & District Library Group (“STAND”) was originally established as an unincorporated community association in November 2013, in response to Sheffield City Council’s plans to close 16 public libraries (including Stannington) unless community volunteers stepped forward to keep the services running. 

STAND is a registered charity (number 1158661) and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation or CIO. Its governing document is its Constitution, and both this and our charity status were approved by the Charity Commission and registered on 24[th] September 2014. 

## **Appointment of Trustees** 

Under the terms of STAND’s constitution, new Trustees may be appointed by the existing Trustees, or by STAND members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), subject to completion of the appropriate nomination form and provided the nominated person fulfils the eligibility conditions and agrees to abide by the Charity Commission’s code of conduct. 

The current constitution states that one third of the trustees must retire at subsequent AGMs, although they may stand for re-election. A charity trustee who has served five consecutive terms may not be appointed for a sixth consecutive term, but may be reappointed after an interval of at least 1 year. 

## **Governance** 

STAND is managed by a committee, currently consisting of 9 Trustees and 4 committee members.  There is no maximum number of Trustees, but there must be at least 3 elected to fill the honorary officer posts (Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary). The Trustees may also co-opt additional committee members. 

The Trustees and committee have responsibility for oversight of STAND and the running of the library. Day to day management decisions about library operations are made by the library manager. A minimum of 2 Trustees is required to form a quorum of the committee. 

The committee normally meets every month, and receives reports from all officers, including a financial report. STAND’s CIO constitution sets out all major governance procedures such as duties of Trustees, elections, general meetings and AGMs, voting rights and eligibility for membership of STAND. 

The STAND Trustees and committee work on a volunteer basis, and for the period covered by this report did not receive any remuneration, apart from being reimbursed for expenditure incurred on behalf of STAND (for example printing ink, paper, events expenses, or cleaning materials). These expenses and reimbursements must be agreed in advance. 

## **Charitable Objects** 

The Charitable Objects of STAND, as set out in its constitution, are: 

- (a)   the advancement of education for the benefit of the public in the district of Stannington in the City of Sheffield and the surrounding area by the provision of a community lending library and associated services. 

- (b)    to promote  for the benefit of the public in the district of Stannington in the City of Sheffield and the surrounding area  without distinction of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, race, or of political religious or other opinion, by associating together the said residents and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance

STAND Trustees annual report 24-25 V1 



education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. 

## **Our Mission** 

In support of these charitable objects, our mission is to provide a sustainable library service and community hub for the people of Stannington and the surrounding district, encouraging participation by everyone and innovative use of the building as well as promoting lifelong learning, social and digital inclusion, and the celebration of reading. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit, when reviewing and agreeing STAND’s mission, aims and our service delivery principles. We have also borne this guidance in mind when setting our objectives, to ensure that we correctly identify the intended beneficiaries of our work, make a real difference and comply with our charitable objects at all times. 

## **Service delivery principles** 

Our Service Delivery Principles have been developed with the needs of our socially diverse community in mind.  In spite of another difficult year, our library has continued to: 

- be welcoming, available and accessible to everyone; 

- be free to use within normal opening hours for borrowing books 

- publicise and promote our services as free and available to all sections of the community, accessible via a wide range of publicly available media; 

- publish and maintain clear and accessible information about any fees and charges, which are applied in a fair way to all service users; 

- provide high quality services to all, regardless of political, religious or any other affiliation; 

- support the local community, encouraging participation and increasing community capability; and 

- provide a safe environment that meets the diverse needs of a wide-spread community including many children, elderly and disabled people. 

## **Policies** 

The STAND Trustees have adopted the following framework of library policies governing important aspects of running the library and STAND, including legislative compliance: 

- Book Donations 

- Safeguarding and Protection of Individuals 

- Financial Reserves 

- Volunteer Management & Problem-Solving procedure 

- Equal Opportunities 

- Suggestions and Complaints 

- Financial Management 

- Health & Safety 

- Data Protection and Data Security 

14 

STAND Trustees annual report 24-25 V1 



- Covid-19 Policies and Risk assessments 

- Food Hygiene 

- Using the Library Space and Facilities 

- Stock Policy 

- Fire Safety Policy and Procedures. 

These policies are kept under review and are available in the library. We are currently developing a new policy on the use of social media. 

## **Relationship with Sheffield City Council** 

Stannington Library is one of 11 Associate Libraries in Sheffield, that are run by volunteers with support from Sheffield City Council. STAND, which was set up by local residents to operate the library, is an independent charity with its own charitable objects, and with the freedom to deliver other services with the aim of operating as a sustainable community hub, provided we abide by the terms of our lease. Associate libraries in Sheffield are free to apply for funding from a range of grant bodies. They are not subsidiary organisations of the Council and do not run library services on the Council’s behalf, or under any form of contract. 

STAND’s relationship with the Council is covered by: 

- (i) A Grant Agreement setting out the arrangements for paying the grant and how library performance and expenditure using the grant will be monitored (this is reviewed by the Council every 3 years); 

- (ii) A Memorandum of Understanding, dealing with the use of the LMS book stock, and the library management computer system; 

- (iii) A 5-year Lease (signed in 2019). The lease includes an option to renew for 25 years, which had to be exercised before 19[th] November 2024. This deadline was met but we are still in the process of obtaining the lease extension to 25 years. 

## Sheffield City Council support: We benefit from a support package as follows: 

- 5-year or 25-year leases at peppercorn rent; 

- A grant of **£6,650.** It has remained at this level since April 2020. 

- Use of the Council’s library management computer system (LMS) and a stock of council-supplied books; 

- Provision of occasional small grants for new books; 

- Participation in the central library van service delivering customer title requests or books being returned by other libraries; 

- LMS training for volunteers, and 

- Services of a Volunteer Network Officer (Darrel Porter). 

This support package has been extended to 31[st] March 2026, but every year a council-wide review takes place of the package of support the council gives to all the volunteer libraries, meaning that we cannot rely on its continuing indefinitely. 

## **Relationships with other organisations** 

Elected Representatives: STAND has good relationships with local councillors, who have continued to be very supportive. Stannington Ward councillors have a small fund (the ward pot) available to them to support local not for profit organisations, and they are also part of the 

15 

STAND Trustees annual report 24-25 V1 



Local Area Committee, which has grant funding available. The councillors have been very generous to us in providing grants, and we thank them for their generosity. 

Other Volunteer Libraries: STAND continues to support Volunteer Libraries in Sheffield (or VLiS) the coordinating group for Associate and Co-delivered Libraries. This has been a good source of help and advice. 

Bradfield Parish Council: STAND is supported by our **Parish Council** , and the councillors have been very helpful to us from the beginning. In 2024 they agreed a Working Partnership with us, and this year they gave us a £7,000 grant to buy books and to fund our community groups. We are extremely grateful to them. 

Local community organisations: We have a good working relationship with **Stannington TARA** , which in recent years has supported the library by donating towards events that also benefit our readers from the Tara’s area. We also support the local carnival committee, and SPARC, the community organisation working with the Council to replace the dilapidated pavilion in Stannington Park. 

We have links to **local infant, primary and secondary schools,** and already host class visits from one school. We hope to extend this to the other schools on a regular basis, so that children at each school all get the chance of a library experience. 

16 

STAND Trustees annual report 24-25 V1 



## **Appendix 3 - Reserves Policy** 

The STAND Trustees aim to raise funds to ensure the sustainability of Stannington Library and the continuation of its services to the public, in accordance with our charitable objects. We always make clear that all funds raised go towards the upkeep of the library, and towards our plans for making it sustainable, especially in the event that our grant support from Sheffield City Council ceases. 

We apply for grants for particular purposes or projects such as buying new books, furniture or IT equipment, and these must then be spent on that item only - they are therefore termed “restricted” funds. The income generated from our own general fund-raising is available to spend as we see fit, and is therefore “unrestricted” funding. 

It is the policy of the Trustees to designate some of our unrestricted funds as reserves, which we set aside to cover specific purposes. We hold financial reserves for the following reasons: 

a) To meet an emergency or unexpected need for funds, such as an unforeseen building repair, a larger than expected utility bill, or unexpected need to buy in services; 

b) To cover our operational running costs, in the event of a loss of income such as our Council grant being reduced or cut altogether; 

c) To fund short term deficits in a cash budget, for example if money needs to be spent before an approved funding grant is received; 

d) To build up sufficient funds to cover our 5-year building maintenance programme, and to support our plans for a major project to extend the Library building; 

e) To cover any outstanding costs and liabilities in the unlikely event of STAND having to be wound up and/or the library lease terminated. 

Our policy is to maintain the right balance between building up sufficient reserves and designated funds to meet the above criteria, while ensuring we fulfil our charity’s objects by providing a free lending library service and community hub for the benefit of local people. We will keep this under regular review, to ensure we do not hold more reserves than we need. 

Reserves:  We have currently set aside enough money in reserve to cover emergencies, plus our running costs for 1 year, which would allow time to develop alternative income sources. We have also set aside £3,000, in accordance with our Business Plan, to cover contingencies and liabilities that may arise should STAND have to terminate its operations. It is open to the Trustees to move unrestricted funds from reserves, or to increase reserves, should this become necessary.

Stannington and District Library Group
Treasurerfs annual financial report and statement of accounts for the period ended 31 March
2025.
Governance and management
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, first registered on 24 September 2014.
The founding trustees were trained by Sheffield City Council and have attended further training where
appropriate in 2016, and 2018. Trustees were appointed at the first AGM, and future trustees will be
trained by outgoing trustees or a trustee with appropriate training in their particular area.
Summary of the objects of the Charlty
The objects of the charity are:
The advancement of education for the benefit of the public in the district of Stannington in the
City of Sheffield and the surrounding area by the provision of a community lending library and
associated services.
2)
To promote for the benefit of the public in the district of Stannington in the City of Sheffield and
the surrounding area without distinction of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender
reassignment, marital or civil partnership status race or of political, religious or other opinion by
association together the said residents and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a
common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for
recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the condition of life for the
residents.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the publlc benefit
The Trustees can confirm that they had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
whilst planning their activities for the period.
The charity commenced running the library from Sheffield City Council on the 29 September 2014. The
library is staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers, who have undertaken library and GDPR training to
enable them to assist members of the public. All volunteers have signed the Data Protection Agreement
and receive training on library policies, including those on Safeguarding, and Equality & Diversity.
This financial year the library has been proud to be in partnership with Bradfield Parish Council who at the
end of the previous financial year provided us with a £7,000 grant which has enabled us to update and
replenish our book stocks throughout the year.
The library has been operating normally opening to the general public on Monday lafternoon}, all day
Wednesday, Friday (afternoon) and Saturday IMorning)- In addition to book lending seNices the library
provides local residents with computer & printing facilities.
The library hosts regular visits from Stannington Infant School and has had one successful visit from
Dungworth Primary School which both parties are hoping to arrange on a more frequent basis. It is also
hoped Nook Lane Junior School & Shooters Grove Primary School will commence visits in the next
academic school year (although the latter will rely on funding for transport).

The library is committed to ensuring all members of the community can benefit from its services and as
such runs a Storytime group for children aged over 2.5 years and a Baby Group for children up to 2.5 years.
The library hosts a successful Friendship Group on the first Tuesday of each month for adult members; all
these groups were funded over the last year by grants from the Coop & Sheffield City Council. The
partnership with Bradfield Parish Council will fund all of the groups for the 2025-26 Financial year.
In addition, we provide Space to the Stannington and Ecclesfield Writers group, the Gardening group and
nd
the Wl Craft group. We continue to hold a 'Tea and Cakes in the Library" session every 2 Saturday of the
month which is well supported by the local community and helps to raise funds towards the running costs
of the library.
We continued to run a story Festival in September funded by grants from Sheffield City Council and
Stannington Tenants Association (TARA). Local businesses, & shops allow us to place collection pots in their
premises, which are regularly emptied thanks to our Finance Assistants- these raise generous amounts of
money kindly donated by local residents. The local community continues to donate books and other items,
which allows us to raise considerable funds through re-sales. We gratefully acknowledge all of these
donations which have helped with the rising cost5 of running the library.
The library has recently benefited from a substantial grant from UKSPF Low Carbon Community and Culture
Project which has allowed us to install solar panels on our roof and allowed us to replace our aging gas
boiler both of which will help us reduce our energy costs over the coming years.
Plans for the future and current improvements
The charity is still looking at the possibility of building an extension, as use of the library by groups has
further highlighted the need for more space in the library; as a start to this project, we have applied for
25-year lease extension from Sheffield City Council. We received a Grant from Sheffield City Council (the
Mary Lea Grant) in 2021 for legal and professional costs, but we will in future need to raise extra funding
for the purpose of extending the library. Over the next few months, we intend reviewing our facilities to
ensure they are accessible and welcoming for people with all disabilitie5.
Volunteer Libraries in the Sheffield district celebrated 10 year5 of successful operation during 2024 and
celebration of this was held in September 2024 funded by a grant from Sheffield City Council.
Financial revlew
At the end of this period the charity held £69,987 of which £25,830 is held in reserve for sustainability
and contingency costs. £42,297 is held in a building fund as part of our costs towards extending the library,
although we have stored in there £10,948 outstanding balances on grants that we are still in the process of
spending, 50 actual balance towards extension is £31,349. While this year has been difficult with increased
running costs, we have finished this year quite well, with a balance in our current account of free cash
£1,800; together with £60 held in petty cash. In addition, we have invoices totalling £423 which will be paid
early in the new year. As running costs continue to increase, we continue to need to fundraise in 2025 to
make sure that we can continue to run the service as we have always done since 2014.

Independent Examinerfs report to the Management Committee of
Stannington and District library Group
I report on the accounts of Stannington and District Library Group for the period ended the 31 March 2025
which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and
that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
o Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
Follow the procedure laid in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section
145(5)Ib) of the 2011 Act);
and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examlnerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Direction given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the account's records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in
the accounts, and seeking explanations from you the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report
is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
o to keep appropriate accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
