## **Achievements and Performance**
Nationwide Building Society Volunteer Day
We hosted staff from Nationwide Building Society for a volunteer day. On the day they helped us run the charity with daily tasks that our volunteers carry out, such as stocking the shelves, picking up deliveries, chatting with the community etc. It was a lovely day and we were happy to raise awareness on how valuable volunteering is for the community – however small it matters and as a charity ran by volunteers we appreciate this effort massively.
## Mental Health
We receive funding from organisations such as Caritas and Jigsaw and use this funding to run workshops to improve mental health of people within the community. The participants made friends, had fun, and felt it was a safe space to be. They also felt confident on trying some of these activities on their own at home as a hobby.

## **Rainbow Surprise CIO**
## **Trustees Report (continued) for the year ended 31[st] December 2023**
Throughout the year we celebrate various days with the community. Here the community joined us for the annual Pancake Day, where they were free to make and enjoy their pancakes whilst socialising with others. It was a fun day with lots of laugh and some delicious pancakes.
## Skills sessions
Throughout the year we ran various life skill sessions, such as on financial budgeting and free first aid training. These sessions are not always available to many in our community, so we aim to bridge these knowledge gap and allow people to thrive.
Moreover, about 25 people joined our sewing classes and has completed the course. They are now equipped with a life skill that they can take further to a professional level or sew as a practical hobby that improves their mental health as well as derive enjoyment from making their own clothes. The success of the classes means that this is something we hope to restart next year, we already have a high demand as many people is on our waiting list to start sewing with the next batch.

## Women’s Exercise Classes
Over the year we successfully ran regular exercise classes for women in response to specific requests from the local community. We offered Bhangracise, Yoga and Zumba and Cricket classes. This was a great way for these ladies to attend a local workout class with like-minded peers and make lasting friendships. Over 30 women and young girls benefited from these sessions, and we hope to continue these sessions for the next year.
## Cricket
Had an amazing evening at **Lancashire Cricket Club.** Thank you for the invite it was so nice to meet everyone. So proud to be partnering up with Lancashire Cricket to deliver Cricket in Crumpsall.

We successfully ran our Holiday Playschemes and Youth Workshops again this year, serving free breakfasts, lunches, and fresh fruit snacks to 100s of kids and teenagers during the school vacation. We engaged in a lot of physical activity and fantastic outings to various locations. We effectively delivered playschemes for one week in February, two weeks in April, four weeks in the summer, one week in October, and two weeks in the winter.
## Community events: Meetings, Nights, and Spring Lunch
We hosted various community events throughout the year, many of which were fundraiser for our food bank and other charitable ventures. The Ladies Night was a fun get together for ladies ran by ladies, it was a safe and fun night.
We ran an Eat your Pumpkin event to combat food waste, of pumpkins especially, following Halloween. Over 30 people came to the event and helped us with eating the pumpkin pies!
The Spring Lunch was for over 50s in our community to socialise with each other and have a lovely lunch when the weather is nice. Loneliness is very common in elderlies, and we hope to provide more events like this to help them connect with others and feel less lonely.

The cost-of-living crisis continues to affect families in the community, and with the support of 2 amazing hair salons and money raised through our Community Shop, like last year we carried out this event to ensure children can get their uniforms and a free haircut. Over 100 children got free uniforms and free haircuts.

## Christmas dinner and Santa Surprise
The Christmas Dinner was also a big success. 84 people spent Christmas day with us enjoying a 3-course traditional meal, listening to the King’s Speech followed by great music and lots of dancing. The attendees, who would have been left on their own otherwise, had a fantastic day. They were able to celebrate Christmas with others in a cosy and welcoming setting.
Only our wonderful volunteers, who assisted with preparation, serving, pickups, and drop-offs, made this possible. We are grateful to Manchester City Council for their support in enabling us to offer this event at no cost.

## **Santa surprise**
This year we were able to gift over 40 children on Christmas, with our lovely volunteers helping us out with the delivery of gifts as Santa and his helpers.
## **Community Fridge**
Our introduction of the Community Fridge to Crumpsall has been a successful project that we are committed to carry on. We collect perishable surplus food from Asda, Greggs, Sainsbury etc and store it for people to collect a number of items for themselves and their families for free.
We run the community fridge twice a week and have helped tens of people every week who come and use the fridge, this reduces food poverty in our community along with food waste which remains a prominent issue in the UK across the supply chain.
We thank all our volunteers who helps with collecting and stocking up the fridge every week.

## **Community Shop**
This year was our second year of running the Community Shop project to support struggling families and combat food poverty. They can now purchase inexpensive groceries and stop depending on foodbanks thanks to the business. In addition, it is a social venture that brings in much-needed money for our charitable endeavours. Due to this, anyone can use it without a referral, and there is no stigma associated with doing so.
Over 1000 people use this service and on average people have saved £40 on their weekly shop. Moreover this project helps us to keep the foodbank going as any profit we made goes into the running of the charity.
## **Meeting Lord Mayor Manchester – Donna Ludford**
It was our pleasure to have Lord Mayor come and visit our centre and be invited to the afternoon tea with the #lordmayorofmanchester

## **A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit:**
The charity trustees can confirm that they have complied with their duty to conduct and guide the charity to benefit the public using their powers, in accordance with the Objects and Charitable Aims outlined in the Constitution.
## **A financial review**
The accounts comply with current statutory requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees have reviewed the accounts and confirm they are an accurate reflection of our financial status.
## **Investment powers and policy**
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves, most of the charity`s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for any long-term investment.
## **Reserves policy and going concern**
The balance held in reserves at 31[st] December 2023 is £82,972 which is unrestricted, (2022: £70,537 unrestricted) no restricted funds was held as at 31[st] December 2023. The trustee aims to build free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The charity’s main source of income is grants. The trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
## **Statement of Risk Management**
The trustees have assessed the risks to which the charity may be exposed with particular reference to those relating to the operations and finances of the charity. Systems are in place to ensure that all risks are recorded for subsequent monitoring and review. In the meantime the trustee’s remain satisfied that all insurable risks have been identified and adequately dealt with and that the charities exposure to other risks is kept at a minimum by good working practice by the trustees and volunteers.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
Rainbow Surprise CIO plan to develop its activities by running increased activities.
We are currently working alongside the local council and the Crumpsall councilors to obtain a base so it can be set up as a community hub for Crumpsall; this is where we can run all our activities from and more.
## **Appointment of Charity Trustees**
The constitution states apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
The charity will be managed by monthly committee members and an annual AGM.
## **Trustee Induction and Training**
All trustees receive an induction into the organisation including an induction handbook.

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees` report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.)
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing accounts giving a fair and true view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, other than listed below, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records have in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
- accounting requirements of the 2011 Act,
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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. Grants which relate to a specific period are deferred.
## **(d) Expenditure recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal obligation 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 other than that capitalised has been reflected in the income and expenditure account on an accruals basis including support costs and governance costs which are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
## **(e) Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## **(f) Allocation of support and governance costs**
Governance costs comprise all costs including 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. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 7.
