## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2024
## **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 area 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, albeit reduced by 10% from previous levels and only currently renewed for 2 years up to October 2025. 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. However, many of our members had deteriorated physically and/or mentally through the effects of lockdowns, and we continue to devote considerable one-to-one support to help them to re-engage with society and improve their wellbeing. Volunteer training and risk assessments for all our activities contribute towards ensuring a quality and safe service. Our activities for older people are delivered from our base at the Newman Centre, rented from St. Theresa’s Church (Saint John Henry Newman Parish Leeds) and St Mary’s Community Hall to increase our reach and to ensure we deliver service across our area.
The Cross Gates & Whinmoor Community Hub, our major venture in the local Crossgates Shopping Centre, had 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, made the Hub even more needed, with footfall increasing and a wide range of services delivered by ourselves and other organisations. Regrettably, the funding climate for charities of all kinds has worsened significantly and in August we announced the closure of the Hub, to be managed up to the end of October 2024. We are proud to have delivered a wide range of services for all ages within the community for three years, supporting more than 25,000 people, and we thank the Crossgates Shopping Centre and all the organisations that have provided funding and support.
Not all Hub activities will cease. Some will transfer to other venues and some will move to our main site at The Newman Centre. We will continue to host the Cross Gates Local Care Partnership, which integrates the health, care and welfare activities of the statutory and voluntary sectors, and to contribute to events in the Crossgates Shopping Centre such as Health and Wellbeing, Dementia Awareness and Breast Feeding.
## **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 continued to exploit the Hub’s position at the heart of the local community for our own operations and offer it to others for engagement with their clients, with our private meeting space available if required. Through these outreach activities and opportunities, we attracted and recruited new members and volunteers for Cross Gates & District Good Neighbours.
The Hub used Round 5 funding from the government’s Household Support Fund to continue our Food Pantry up to September 2024, working in partnership with 10 local schools to identify and support vulnerable families.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2024
## **Achievements and performance continued**
Round 2 of M01 funding through Skills for Life meant that we could continue to deliver Multiply training that aims to support people with numeracy and digital inclusion for financial resilience alongside one-to-one IT support and advice at the Hub. Over January to May 2024, the Hub supported about 500 people every month; 337 were signposted and 489 were referred to other services such as Welfare Rights, or helped to obtain Blue Badges, bus passes, etc.
Our older people’s activities at the Newman Centre are set out in our quarterly Newsletters, delivered by hand to more than 1,400 members. Our major ‘Enhance’ project, from Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust and managed by Leeds Older People’s Forum, 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. Now in its third year, we are improving our partnership working with the NHS Teams. Our ‘Moving on’ exercise classes, developed as a long-term solution for patients to maintain and improve their activity and balance, especially after successful hospital discharge, are proving very popular.
We renewed our Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) with NHS Digital for 2023-24; this confirms our compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and enables us to maintain our NHSmail email address for contacts with the NHS, such as for Enhance.
We have become one of five delivery partners on Travel With Confidence, part of a 3-year project funded by the Motability Foundation and managed by Leeds Older People’s Forum. We will train volunteers as “Travel Buddies” to help older and/or disabled people who may have stopped using public transport, or active travel such as walking. The aim will be to restore their confidence and enable them to make fully independent journeys again.
Our two minibuses are very heavily used and will soon approach the end of their useful lives. Our “Buy a Bus” Campaign to raise funds for a third minibus stands at just over £20,000 at the end of August. A major initial contribution to Buy a Bus was taken from an unrestricted £50,000 donation that was received from a now deceased member, whom wished to remain anonymous.
In view of the depressed outlook for funding in the health and care sectors, our managers are looking at contingency planning and sustainability for Cross Gates and District Good Neighbours Scheme CIO.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £43,135, including net income of £66,678 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £23,543 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £329,061.
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. In 2021, our trustees increased our reserves target to £190k. Although our Community Hub will close, we have maintained the reserves target at £190k because of increasing costs and liabilities affecting all our activities.
The trustees acknowledge that the free reserves are approx. £130k above the policy target. To reduce this excess, at least £40k will be taken to contribute to the purchase and deployment of a much needed new minibus (along with fundraising income and donations specifically for this purpose), reducing the excess to approx. £90k or less. Given the uncertain economic and funding climate, the trustees will continue to review the position over the coming year.
Approved by the board of trustees on 6/11/2024

## 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 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.
## **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.

## Cross Gates & District Good Neighbours' Scheme CIO
## Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 30 September 2024
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, if it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Donated goods for resale are valued at the amount actually realised upon their sale.
Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.
## **Investments**
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Grants payable with performance conditions**
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.
## **Grants payable without performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 30 September 2024
## **1 Accounting policies continued**
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Furniture and fittings: over 4 years Computer equipment: over 4 years Motor vehicles: over 4 years
## **Pensions**
The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
## **Leases**
Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.
