SHINE@Nechells POD Purpose and Impact
Nechells POD developed as a result of the successful community work that evolved through Nechells Education Action Zone (EAZ). In May 2008 the EAZ head teachers appointed an EAZ Director to renovate a derelict nursery and turn it into a community hub to support the residents of Nechells. In September 2008 Nechells POD opened its doors and started offering a wide range of support, advice and guidance to improve the life chances of the community.
Unfortunately, EAZ funding ended in March 2011, but such was the commitment of the EAZ head teachers and the success of the work of Nechells POD that the service continued to grow and in May 2012 Nechells POD became a Community Interest Company (CIC), allowing access to funding streams that would further develop the work. A review of the CIC and its development of services to support the Nechells community was undertaken in 2014. This review recommended registration with the charity commission to maximise delivery and funding opportunities.
SHINE@NechellsPOD was registered on 5th June 2015 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with The Charity Commission.
In the last thirteen years Nechells POD, which is the name the charity is known as locally, has been evolving from its inception as an Education Action Zone into a dynamic community-based charity delivering services and activities that respond to local need and enhance community cohesion.
Services and activities are delivered by partner organisations, POD staff and volunteers. Nechells POD provides services identified through community consultation.

SHINE@NechellsPOD
Chair of the Trustees Report
Services and activities are delivered by the staff team, partner organisations and volunteers who respond to local need and consultation in the provision of a varied weekly menu.
During the year 2024-2025 Nechells POD has provided services, activities and workshops which has benefitted in excess of 3,000 people.
Many sessions are oversubscribed which has resulted in the charity developing a waiting list or providing additional sessions.
Each week 340 Nechells residents attend Nechells POD.
Our Happy Healthy Holidays provided activities for 142 children over four weeks in the summer holidays as well as supporting families in food poverty by providing groceries.
Our elders have benefitted from a range of fitness and well-being sessions as well as opportunities to reduce social isolation. We currently support 25 elders on a weekly basis with more people engaging when we offer trips.
Our support for mothers and toddlers has grown and we run a weekly Stay and Play encouraging positive play, speaking and listening skills for all participants.
Intergenerational work continues to be a strength of the work of the charity with community members of different generations reporting how much they enjoy spending time together.
Bloomsbury library continues to be based in the corridor at Nechells POD and we are lucky to have our own community librarian two days per week who offers a weekly tot’s story time, provides holiday activities for children and ran a successful summer reading challenge. On a monthly basis 160 adults and 309 children visit the library, 60 primary aged children successfully completed the summer reading challenge and 6 volunteers are actively engaged in supporting the librarian. The library will become a Partner Led Library in September 2025 and will relocate to a large room in the building and provide the library service through volunteers.
Our Welfare Services have supported 216 local residents helping in finance and housing matters
AIM, OBJECTIVES AND VISION
Charity Aim: To act as a resource for the Nechells community by providing services and activities to improve life chances, develop skills and offer support and guidance and to facilitate partnership working between statutory and voluntary organisations to ensure cohesive and targeted support across Nechells.
Objectives:
• To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Nechells in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and participate more fully in society. • To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
For the purposes of this object ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following - youth, age, disability, financial hardship, ill health, unemployment, substance abuse, discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or poor educational or skills attainment.’
• To advance education, training and development in such ways as the trustees think fit.

NEED FOR NECHELLS POD CHARITY:
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (2015) ranks all of Nechells ward in the 6% most deprived areas nationally. The immediate community within which Nechells POD is based (Neighbourhood Birmingham 043C) is ranked within the 1.4% most deprived. It has a relatively young population, high unemployment, low income and is very ethnically diverse. Nechells ward is anticipated to be within the largest population growth (based on historical growth) with an anticipated population increase of 30%. Office of National Statistics forecasts shows Nechells ward as having one of the largest anticipated population growth of 30% by 2031 (Birmingham’s population anticipates growth by 14%).
It is evident that local people really appreciate the POD building - It is kept immaculate both inside and outside and there is no evidence of vandalism or graffiti. This is testament to the pride staff, volunteers and residents have for this valuable community resource.
SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES
We offer a wide range of activities and services which are aimed at supporting Nechells residents of all ages and ethnicities. These are provided by POD staff, partner organisations and volunteers. We offer weekly activities as well as ‘one off’ trips and special events. Weekly Activities Health and Well Being Walking Group Women’s Only Fitness FiN Fitness Children’s activities e.g. Fencing

Chair of the Trustees Report
The Active Well-being Society who delivered a number of sessions involving the outdoors both in the garden and the park and offered multi sports sessions during holiday activities.
Joseph Chamberlain College delivered ESOL (English lessons for Speakers of Other Languages) classes and a numeracy class.
The North Locality Integrated Neighbourhood Team was based at the POD for their weekly Triage and Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings.
Marsha from Your Money Your Way offers an extra welfare support service once a week.
Birmingham MIND delivers a weekly drop-in service to enable anyone who was experiencing poor mental health or caring for someone with a mental health condition to come and chat with professionals and peers.
Councillor Marsham has used the POD regularly both for meeting with residents in his drop-in surgeries or as a meeting place for his Ward meetings. Councillor Marsham has also been a valued supporter at all of the events delivered during the past year.
The Kingstanding, Erdington and Nechells Primary Care Network Social Prescriber has also used the POD as a weekly base to engage with local residents.
Fareshare have supported the POD food pantry with food on a weekly basis and have visited Place of Welcome to share more about what they do and volunteering opportunities with them.
Sophie McDonald, the Community Network Support Officer working in Ladywood, holds a weekly drop-in service to support residents with welfare advice. During the winter, Sophie handed out a number of warm bags to participants which included a blanket, flask, hot water bottle, soup, tea and other items.
Thrive Together is an organisation who have organised a network of 10 organisations around Birmingham to become Cadent Warm Hubs. Being part of this network has enabled the POD to offer energy support and practical goods to reduce the effects of the cost of living including slow cookers, heated chair covers and blankets. Via this network we have also been able to connect with other organisations such as Green Doctors who have supplied dehumidifiers and completed damp, mould and heating checks in residents’ houses. We were also connected to Inspiring Fitness as a Cadent Warm Hub who have delivered weekly fitness and dance sessions for women.
A continued partnership with Bournville Village Trust (BVT) saw the return of the annual BVT litter pick around Bournville properties and the wider area. The Neighbourhood Coordinator from BVT has also had a monthly drop-in session at the POD for tenants who wanted to chat outside of their home.
Kyle from the National Literacy Trust has been a great source of free books and has delivered literacy activities here.
National Energy Action have previously provided training to POD staff, and this year were fortunate to be offered a member of the team to do a monthly drop-in sessions during food pantry opening times. This gave participants the chance of receiving energy support and advice whilst being onsite already.
We have built relationships with a number of Birmingham City Council teams including Park services, in particular with Penny Marriott, the Park Ranger, who delivered Christmas wreath making sessions. Penny has also worked with residents in the parks directly particularly with the Future Parks project, supported by Free@Last which has seen upgrades made to some of the parks in Nechells as well as tree planting.
Healthwatch have continued to offer regular visits to the POD to discuss complaints, concerns or compliments from participants for health care providers in Birmingham. This is a great opportunity to express thoughts and feelings about services.

Awards
In September 2024 the POD was awarded with the West Midlands Organisation of the Year award for offering so much necessary support to residents in Nechells.
In November 2024 it was announced in the King’s Birthday Honours list that Nechells POD had also been awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service. This is such a prestigious award, the equivalent to an MBE for an organisation, and we are very proud to have been awarded with this.
OPERATING MODEL AND RISKS
We fund our work primarily from income from fundraising and through limited levels of unrestricted trading income from letting fees and hiring of minibuses.
Our main costs are staff salaries, with minor expenditure on office costs.
The board has a reserves policy whereby it retains an operating financial reserve at an amount sufficient to maintain unrestricted operating costs for 6 months.
At each board of trustees meeting, and at the AGM, the treasurer provides a report on income and expenditure across all elements of the charity. We work to our financial policy documents which are regularly reviewed and kept up to date.
At the trustee meeting prior to the AGM, we review risks to the operation of the charity and its finances and how they are managed and mitigated.
GOVERNANCE AND DECISION-MAKING
Trustees are elected for 3-year terms at the Annual General Meeting held each November attended by charity members. Membership of our charity is open to all people who live in Nechells and to representatives of organisations working in this area and across the UK.
The Board of Trustees meet six times a year to support the strategic management of Nechells POD and monitor achievement of outcomes by charity services and activities. We have a three-year Business Plan which is regularly reviewed, the board also reviews progress during the year, considers challenges and how they can be overcome. The board reviews all charity policies on a rolling annual cycle to ensure they comply with all changes to legislation and directions. At each meeting the board receives a report from Nechells POD Project Manager on all project services and how policies are adhered to within the charity’s values and risk appetites.
Trustees aim to apply the Charity Governance Code in their management of the charity.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Financial review
Policy on reserves
The Community Fund Lottery and Henry Smith funding grant both finished in 2022. Designated reserve funds held in SHINE@NechellsPOD’s sustainability fund will enable the Charity to continue to function and pay staff salaries in the short term.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash flow risk
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Credit risk
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments.
The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 19 May 2026.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the CIO's constitution.
Basis of preparation
SHINE@NechellsPOD meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are prepared in GBP Sterling, and rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 13
SHINE@NechellsPOD
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025 (continued)
2 Accounting policies (continued)
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
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 performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Expenditure
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 aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when they are received, with a proportion included in accrued income if there is a likelihood that all or part of the grant will need to be refunded.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £250.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Page 14

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025 (continued)
2 Accounting policies (continued)
Asset class
Depreciation method and rate
Fixtures and fittings 20% net book value
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary 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 impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that the board of trustees designate to a particular project or cause.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Debt instruments
Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method:
(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate.
(b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.
(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law; or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).
(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.

2 Accounting policies (continued)
(f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of (a) to (c).
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.
Derivative financial instruments
The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in statement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
