Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
The Trustees present their Annual Directors’ Report and financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ Report and Accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the 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 2019).
Objectives and activities
To provide services and support to the local community in areas such as food poverty, mental health support, reducing social isolation, supporting people with disabilities and supporting people back into skills training and employment.
A review of our achievements and performance
We maintained our community hub at Platt Bridge Community Zone and developed new services in partnership with our Social Enterprise and Charity members and community groups within the Abram Ward neighbourhood, including leading a successful Abram Ward Neighbourhood Plan referendum. We also commenced management of a second community hub in Wigan Borough, namely Tudor House in Hindley. We also continued to lead on the Wigan Borough Social Enterprise Network, via the Proper Good Wigan programme, and support the members with awareness raising, podcasts, training and Business Support and access to Social Investment.
We also continued supporting our Neighbourhoods by supporting with Community Organising and empower local people, including local Open Spaces and peoples facing wellbeing barriers, as well as working in partnership with local educational providers to deliver key skills for local community members
Financial review
This year has been one of change, with previous funded programmes and wider Social Enterprise support programmes closing and focusing the core work of the Charity going back to our Neighbourhood working roles in Abram Ward and Hindley. This financial year has also seen the company look to develop new ways of generating income in our buildings, looking at new models for income generation.
Investment powers and policy
Most of the Charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so the opportunities for longer term investment are limited. The Charity aims to maintain an adequate level of reserves to ensure it can continue to provide the services of the charity.
Reserves Policy
The balance held in unrestricted reserves on 31[st] March 2025 was £135,243 of which £120,541 are free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.

Risk management
On an annual basis, the Trustees conduct a review of the major risks and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
To continue and grow the support to our local Neighbourhoods of Abram Ward and Hindley, helping local Social Enterprises and Community Businesses to be established or grow. Having management of a second community hub, Tudor House, in Hindley, will enable us to test out and support a new neighbourhood approach plus offer provisions to local community that are of need to their community.
Continue supporting the Social Economy sector in Wigan Borough but with a more focused approach around supporting organisations into Social Investment. Also to develop training programmes based on the needs of our members.
To continue to manage Community hubs in the Wigan Borough and develop services within these, in partnership with our Social Economy members, to provide services of need to the communities they are located in.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2025
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes 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) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 14 restricted funds.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 14.
(c) Income recognition
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 income receivable can be measured reliably.
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 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 those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
(d) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (f) below.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
(f) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on type of cost. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 6.
(g) Costs of raising funds

(h) Charitable Activities
