## **Objectives and activities** 

What are the formal purposes (objectives) of your charity, as set out in your governing document? 

The objectives of the CIO are: 

(1)   The promotion of social inclusion amongst people in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire who are socially excluded from society or parts of society as a result of mental ill health, in particular, through the provision of a resource centre providing opportunities and facilities for recreation, social interaction, education, support and advice designed to assist the recovery and wellbeing of such people and to enable them to integrate into society. 

(2)   To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Borough of Broxtowe and the surrounding area, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants. 

What are your main activities? (the things you do in order to achieve the objectives) Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit: 

To provide a team of mental health support workers for individual support as required. Manage an effective community resource centre offering support for mental health in the community through a series of Mindset groups and other wellbeing groups organised by outside organisations, e.g. Nottingham College, the Dementia Memory Café, and Slimming World. Encourage volunteers to help in various managed tasks within the centre Offer a Community Café for our regular users and the local inhabitants. 

How do these activities benefit the public? 

The community café and garden are open to the public. A variety of leisure courses and activities take place at the centre using our facilities and Room hire is available for local meetings. 

Please confirm that you have considered the charity Commission’s guidance on ‘public benefit’. Click here for a link to this guidance. 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'. 

## **Summary of the main achievements during the period** 

What did you actually do? (You could add some statistics if you like, and give more detail of your activities): 

The main achievements during 23-24 were to build up and increase the service offered at MSRC through a referral, self-referral and social drop in system and the addition of 1 further Mental Health Support Worker to the team. The additional role is a full time position (37.5 hours ) funded by the National Lottery. The support offered to people with lived mental health issues has developed and increased as the year progressed, through a mixture of 1-1 meetings, group activities and volunteering opportunities. In addition to this we have had other funding which has 



enabled us to increase Café opening hours and employ two additional Kitchen Assistants. Also to improve accessibility in the Garden with a wheelchair friendly path to the pond, wheelchair friendly seating and a new summerhouse, in order to promote a safe community space. 

The charity has been recognised with the King's Award for Voluntary Service, which has brought additional prestige to the charity, and is due to the fantastic work of all of our volunteers. Our thanks go to them and also to the individuals who nominated us. 

## **Financial review** 

**Please comment on your financial position at the end of the reporting period** (You might for example, refer to the surplus or deficit you’ve made, or the movement in the fund balances. Are you happy? – the choice is yours. ) 

23-24 has seen a significant improvement in our finances, leading to an operating surplus of £63,000, which has allowed us to both restore and increase our reserves, whilst enhancing service provision. 

**What is your policy on reserves?** (Your policy should include: why you need reserves, the target level, your current position, your plans to increase or use your reserves and how often you review this policy. If you do not need reserves you should explain the reason.) 

We have increased our Reserve Fund to £100,000 as a result of successful funding bids. This would enable us to cover core costs in the event of financial difficulties. The reserves are held over two separate accounts to increase FSCS cover. 

## **What financial risks do you face?** 

The main risk we face is if we lose the tenancy of the building, which we lease from Nottinghamshire County Council. If we lost the use of the premises, we would have to look for major funding to find new premises. Other risks include a slowing down of Room Hire and possible lack of availability of suitable funding streams, both of which could negatively affect our income. 

## **If any of your funds are in deficit, what are you planning to do about it?** 

n/a 

**Detailed information if you hold funds for 3rd parties** (other groups or individuals): names and their main objects, a description of the assets held, opening balances/ in/ out/ closing balances 

n/a

**accounts need to include a short explanation of the purpose and of each fund.** For example:

Purpose:  “ _To build up sufficient funds to replace vehicles on a 5 year schedule_ ” 

**For each fund you hold, please give the details:** 

Name of fund: "Management Salaries Fund - Beeston Consolidated Charity"

Name of fund: "Mental Health Support Worker Salaries Fund - National Lottery" Purpose: "To support the salaries of Mental Health Support Worker roles" £34k p.a. 

## **Additional information** 

## **This is a chance to add any other information to your report.** 

For example: if you give grants, what is your policy? Do you want to say anything about your funders or supporters? 

## Thanks 

We would like to acknowledge the continued support offered by Beeston Consolidated Charity, Nottinghamshire County Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, the National Lottery and all other funders and supporters who have helped us through the past few years.

l Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of
Recommended Practice issued in October 2019. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republic of I￿land (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation

liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othenvise stated in the relevant
accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement
of Cash Flows within the financial slalements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trnstees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Volunlary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured M'ith sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be
reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where perforniance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be meL the income is
recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notifjcation has been received of the dividend
due.

Beeston Community Resource CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Expendilure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that aggregaies similar costs to that calegory. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basls conslslent with the use of resources, with central staff
costs allocated on the basis of time spent. and deprecialion charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charilable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneflciaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset
received or receivable. Grants are classifled as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue
are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are
recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is
recognised a5 deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pa55 the tests set out in Paragrdph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purpose5. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt frotn taxation in respect ol income or capital gaiT]s received within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act ?0 l O or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992, to the exteni that such income or gains a￿ applied elclusively to charitable purposes.

course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impairnient. A provision for the impainnent of debtors is
established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of the receivables.

Beeston Community Resource CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
The Memorial garden Th'as a fund sel up to enhance and develop an area of the communlty gardei) to be a place
of tranquillity and peace where people could remember lost ones. We have partitioned an area off with a
wooden structure and planted new plants and bushes as well as enhancing the seating area. This was started with
the funding from the Co-operative Community Fund last year and continued with further funding from Tesco
this year.
The Mindset fund received funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. Following on from the Covid
period and lockdow'ns we have needed to "kickstart" the Mindset programme with support from staff members
and outside facilitators to continue existing groups such as Talk and Support. Poetry and Guitar and set up new
Creative Writing and photography groups. The main purpose of the fund was to help build the provision up
again in a safe and positive way folloiving a traumatic period for most of our service users.
This year The National Lottery Community Fund gave funding for a Cost of Living project, which covers the
COSts of premises, staff time and volunteer costs.
Also from The National Lottery Community Fund was fundiTJg for a Supporting Mental Health project, this
funding helped towards the salary of the Mental Health Support Worker roles.
The National Grid gave funding towards a project to help create an outdoor community space.
Beeston Consolidated Charity kindly provided restricled funding which contributed to￿,ardS our management
and Mental Health Support Worker salaries throughout the year, and paid for a replacement dishwasher for our
kitchen during the financial year.
The Community Garden Volunteers Project was funded by The Green Hall Foundation and will be spent during
the 20?4125 financial year. This projecl will support the community garden volunteers to grow their gardening
skills and appreciate the mental health benefits of working in the garden. This will help toTh'ards the cornrnunity
garden activity.. including training, support staff costs and equipment.
Last year there were also the following restricted fund-.
The Moving on from Covid fund w'as funding received from Nottingham West PCN. PCN gave permission for
it now contribute towards salaries.
The transfer from the Equipment fund to the General fund represents the net book value of fjxed assets, the use
of which is not subject to any restriction.
