Achievements and performance

Special events to celebrate as a community

We held a number of special events throughout the year which brought the whole community together as well as raising funds for the centre including:

l Summer Fair, Christmas Fair and Easter Fair – stalls selling crafts, clothes and books and games for everyone to join in
l Jubilee Afternoon Tea – a royal knees up to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee
l Christmas Lunch – a home cooked Christmas dinner and entertainment for our older neighbours l Children’s Party – fun and games for all the family
l Halloween Party – spooky games and food for children and families supported by Big Local Trust

Regular activities for all ages

We ran a regular programme of activities with support from external grants and providers including:

l Conversation Café – an informal space for people to drop in and meet one another
l Luncheon Club – a regular hot meal for older residents with a raffle and occasional entertainment
l Positive Strength exercise class – led by a professional trainer an exercise class designed to promote muscle strength and balance
l Parent and toddler/baby group – volunteer led group giving parents and their little ones a place to come and play and meet one another
l After School Club – a fun time with a focus on nature-based activities and gardening with Get Out More supported by Keighley Big Local and the Postcode Lottery Trust.

A place to meet

We hire out our space and host a wide range of other community activities including:

l A Family Nurturing Programme run by the Keighley and Shipley Family Hub
l Polling station
l Health hub

Opportunities to learn and grow

We also ran a series of one-off courses and programmes again supported from external grants and providers including:

l Digital skills course with Worth Connecting supported by Carers Resource to support people over 50 to get online and make the most of smartphones and tablets
l Gardening project with Get Out More supported by Bradford Council Community Empowerment to create community gardens at Hainworth Wood, Red Holt and Parkwood

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance (continued)

Building and operations

We have continued to ensure the community centre is safe and maintained. We upgraded the emergency lighting (with support from The Craven Trust), repaired external shutters which ensure the building is secure, and carried out necessary health and safety checks. We revamped the IT suite and got all the computers back up and running.

Governance

We recruited a further two new trustees to join the Board during this period and met regularly for Board meetings and planning meetings. We also concluded the work on the Governance Review with the support of CABAD and continue to implement and update our policies to strengthen our governance. Trustees attended a safeguarding awareness course and CABAD ran a session for the trustees specifically on our role in relation to safeguarding.

Financial review

The net receipts for the year were £20,097, including net receipts of £15,420 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £4,677 on restricted funds, after transfers.

The rapid increase in gas prices during the winter months resulted in a larger than budgeted bill from our supplier. We were somewhat cushioned from the rises in electricity due to a favourable fixed rate deal. We have benefitted from additional support from Bradford Council which has enable us to reopen and continue activities.

The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.’

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £41,874.

The trustees have agreed a reserves policy and have decided that they would look to maintain reserves which cover between three and six months running costs (which equates to between £9,000 and £18,000 based on 2022/2023 payments), 3 months salary and on costs for the community worker as well as having sufficient monies available to cover periodic capital costs for the maintenance and repair of the Centre.

The Trustees have increased this level of reserves due to the current cost of living crisis. For example our utility bills have increased to around £1,200 per month and new contracts have had to be negotiated.

The trustees recognise that actual reserves exceed the CIO's upper reserves target. However given the increasingly challenging funding environment faced by the CIO and the cost pressures being experienced this position is regarded positively.

Funds in deficit

The Craven Trust restricted fund is in deficit because the funding was only received on the production of invoices and after the end of the financial year cut off although the grant had been awarded in 2022-2023.

Approved by the board of trustees on 30/1/2024
