## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

The objectives of the CIO are: 

a) to promote the relief of those in need because of age, disability, ill-health, financial hardship, social exclusion or other disadvantage in Cross Gates and neighbouring areas of East Leeds (the are of benefit) in any manner which now or hereafter may be deemed to be charitable. 

b) to advance the education of the community in the area of benefit in relation to financial, health and wellbeing, housing and welfare entitlements 

c) to advance the education of the public and promote the interests of social welfare with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents of the area of benefit. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Leeds City Council’s ‘Neighbourhood Network’ grant continues to support our long-term sustainability, providing a firm foundation to build on. We augment this basic funding with income from other grants and commissioning, from fundraising, and from small charges for most of our activities. 

As at September 2022, we had restored most of our activities following the Covid pandemic. Many of our members had deteriorated physically and/or mentally with the effects of lockdowns, and we continue to devote considerable one-to-one support to help them to reengage with society and improve their wellbeing. Volunteer training and risk assessments for all our activities contribute towards ensuring a quality and safe service. 

Our major new venture, the Cross Gates & Whinmoor Community Hub, opened in the local Crossgates Shopping Centre in November 2021. The Hub has become a vital resource for advice and support for the whole of the community, not just older people. The deepening cost of living crisis, which emerged during 2022-23, has made the Hub even more needed. 

We have distributed the government Household Support Fund, managed a Weekly Food Pantry, delivered Cost of Living workshops, provided a Warm Space during winter, and hosted a wide range of other organisations providing advice and assistance in the Hub, which has a private meeting space if required. 

We assisted through the Hub with the Leeds 2023 celebrations in Cross Gates and with Dementia and Winter Wellbeing events promoted by the Cross Gates Local Care Partnership in the Crossgates Shopping Centre. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the relief of elderly people in need because of ill health, disability, financial hardship or social isolation, and to the advancement of education and research. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

We exploit the Hub’s position right at the heart of the local community for our own operations and offer it to others to engage with their clients. We have exploited the outreach opportunities to recruit new members and volunteers. Because the Community Hub is intended to support all of society, we obtained permission from the Charity Commission to amend our Constitution so that our Charitable Objectives now cover all members of the community as well as older people. This was overwhelmingly approved by our members at our Annual General Meeting in December 2022. 

Leeds City Council’s 5-year ‘Neighbourhood Network’ grant will expire in October 2023. The Council has a severe funding crisis, but the grant has now been guaranteed until 2025 – an indication of the value that our activities bring to the city.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2023 

## **Achievements and performance** 

We don’t now expect to attain access to the Leeds Care Record of patients’ health and social care data, but through our associated efforts to complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) with NHS Digital we obtained an NHS mail email address that is now in daily use for communications with NHS and related services. We successfully renewed our DSPT for 2022-23; it confirms our compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation. 

Funding for the SWIFt programme received via Leeds City Council was discontinued at the end of August 2022. However, we now have funding for a related programme, ‘Enhance’, from Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust. Although not a replacement for SWIFt, this does target a similar population of mainly frailer older people. Enhance involves cooperation between the third sector and NHS Neighbourhood Teams around hospital discharge and supporting patients with their wellbeing at home to avoid hospital admissions and re-admissions. 

After some learning of how best to work together with the NHS Teams, and all health sources who organise discharges, Enhance has been renewed and refocused for a second year. To support patients in maintaining and improving their activity and balance, especially after hospital discharge, we designed and introduced our ‘Moving on’ exercise classes, which we developed to run alongside the ‘Strength and Balance’ classes that are delivered by Active Leeds to offer a more long-term solution. These are proving very popular. 

The Short Walks that were funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority were successful and we have continued them as a legacy and incorporated them into our mainstream activities. 

As part of the Travel Connections project, funded by Leeds Older People’s Forum to Tackle Loneliness with Transport, we delivered the Shared Outings theme – a take on our own Shared Tables – to provide trips out in our minibuses with various criteria. We completed all of our scheduled 60 trips, with 242 of our members taking part, and secured further funding from The Keith Howard Foundation so that we can now provide 30 trips out for a year. 

We have secured funding to deliver IT support sessions via the Leeds Community Foundation Digital Inclusion Fund and Clarion Housing. This IT support will be offered at the hub and at groups. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £53,803, including net income of £54,216 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £413 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £261,183. 

We aim to hold reserves amounting to six months’ average expenditure; this includes the full redundancy liability. Our reserves policy requires us to consider our commitments and activity levels and the risk associated with each stream of income and expenditure. For 2021-22 our trustees increased our reserves target to £190k to reflect our expanded staffing and our new commitment to the Community Hub. 

The trustees acknowledge that the actual reserves were approx. £70k in excess of the policy target. Given uncertain economic climate, the trustees will continue to review position, over the coming year.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Cross Gates & District Good Neighbours' Scheme CIO 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 13. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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** 

Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns 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.
