## **The Main Achievements of the Charity**
St Matthews Big Local (Leicester) continues to make a real difference to people’s lives. It has given people new skills and opportunities. We continue to deliver on our Big Local Plan priorities, and we have been successful in securing significant additional funding for staffing and additional activities above and beyond the plan.

## **Review of the Past Year**
St Matthews Big Local (Leicester) (SMBLL) continues to impact people’s lives in very positive ways by creating opportunities for local people to acquire and develop new skills as well as to improve and strengthen existing ones. The priorities identified within our Big Local Plan have been our focus.
During the first half of the year, we continued to be impacted by the Covid Pandemic and the restrictions they brought, with Leicester being locked down for the longest of any city in the country. We continued to run an emergency foodbank and adapted our services to provide much needed support to our community.
Our weekly foodbank remains in place and is well managed by a regular group of four volunteers. This operates on a Tuesday each week and those accessing are asked for a small contribution to help cover the cost of the Fare share delivery. During the reporting period there were 860 attendances.
The Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) was able to be used as an outside venue, and as well as our traditional weekday offering of coached sports sessions for young people, we were able to hire out the facility to other organisations and small groups.
Over the Christmas period although still under some Covid restrictions we arranged for selection packs to be distributed across the estate to children nominated online by parents. We also arranged a Christmas party for 61 children from our community with traditional party food, a visit from Santa, party games and a gift for each of the children.
Our volunteer youth panel also organised their first Christmas Party at St Matthews House. They planned a small disco and fun games for their friends from around the estate. Youth panel members continue to be active in organising events for their peers on the Estate and in addition to the Christmas party they helped to organise and promote a trip for the community to Twin Lakes, and ran sweet stalls at the Jubilee Party, and St Matthews Community Parks Day.
During the winter months from October to February we worked in partnership with Leicester City in the Community and St Matthews Dynamos to provide Friday night Anti-Crime Football sessions at the MUGA from 9pm to 11pm. The timing of these sessions was deliberately organised as it is traditionally a time when there are no other youth services on offer locally. The sessions were very well attended with 543 attendances during this period.
From September to May we continued to work with Community Advice and Law Service (CALS) who ran a weekly appointment based session at St Matthews House. This was attended by 61 residents during this period.
In October half term we worked in collaboration with Buzzing Roots who ran a range of half term activities including, story time with hot chocolate, community litter pick and creating an educational video. They created a sculpture made from collected waste rubbish, this was very well attended with 181 attendances.
During November and December, we worked in partnership with Leicester Adult Skills and Learning Service to offer Everyday English Classes at St Matthews House. These sessions were running over 11 weeks and were attended by around 11 people each week.

We were pleased once again to be awarded funding by the Department of Education via Leicester City Council to provide a Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) for the Christmas, Easter and the school summer holidays. This was to provide food and activities to children who would normally have received free school meals. We were supported heavily by volunteers from Central England Co-op food and funeral services who provided staffing for HAF to help us serve nutritious food to the children who attended. The funding also allowed us to add a fun reward element to the sessions this year, with the children attending Ninja Warrior at Christmas and Alton Towers at the end of the summer programme. They were also visited by the Dessert Rats who ran team building exercises with the children. During the delivery we had 936 attendances.
As we moved into the new year and restrictions eased, we were able to get back on track planning and delivering our Big Local Plan, we organised community litter picks, planting events and the annual trip to Skegness, with St Matthews Community Parks Day being delivered in August after a two-year hiatus.
During February 2022 we piloted a 6-week project called ‘Coffee and Company’ this ran in the early evening and was funded by a grant from Leicester and Rutland Community Foundation. The average attendances were 12 people each week and they enjoyed games, company and a light snack each evening. The programme finished at the end of the funding, and it was difficult to secure additional funding.
We brought our community together to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee with a massive street party where the whole estate was invited. The event was formally opened by the Lord Lieutenant and included a brass band, free picnics, and ice cream for all. We created a special ‘Golden Table’ for invited elders in the community and they had a great time reminiscing of their time and the impact of HM Queen Elizabeth’s rein. The event received national and local press coverage and the local radio station broadcast live from the event for the whole duration of the party. It was a great success and enjoyed by over 400 residents.
We continued to be part of the Leicester Violence Reduction Network Partnership as a delivery partner and were pleased to be awarded a grant from the Youth Involvement Fund. This enabled us to provide a programme of preventative activities, education workshops and mentoring opportunities for disaffected young people and children aged 11 -24. We provided a series of sports engagement opportunities and classroom based workshops including knife crime, racism, leading a healthy lifestyle and Gangs.
We continue to work as a Local Trusted Organisation with Street Games and were successful in being awarded two grants this year. One for Tackling Inequalities where we provided a series of sports engagement activities and we were also pleased to be awarded a grant from Street Games as part of the national Youth Involvement Fund, this enabled us to employee peer researchers, two local young people were interviewed, trained, and supported to speak to over 90 young people in their community to gather their views on youth violence and how it impacted on them, their lives, and their communities.
The programme started in May 2022 and finishes in December 2022. Some of the early findings are –
- Increasing youth provisions available e.g. sports events, debates, late night provision.
4
- Providing opportunities to build relationships with the police.
- Creative positive representations of young people on social media. Raising awareness of youth violence e.g., workshops on social media safety or an opportunity to talk to people with real life experience of violence.
We were successful in gaining several grants from various organisations. Additionally, our skills and ability in seeking, identifying, and acquiring additional funding for staffing and extra activities above and beyond the Big Local Plan, remains a success as outlined below:
LCC / DEPT For Education Winter HAF programme LCC / DEPT For Education Easter HAF programme LCC / DEPT For Education Summer HAF programme LLRCF 6 Week Café UK Cycling 4th 5 Weeks Dr Bike repair sessions Street Games Street Games sports coaching Street Games Youth involvement fund Arnold Clark Community Fund Foodbank 14 weeks Co-op Local Community Fund Indoor painting St Matthews House Freemasons Jubilee Celebration Donation to the Queen’s jubilee party National Lottery Grant for the Queens jubilee party Violence Reduction Network Sports delivery and workshops LCC / Ride Leicester Bike stand repair station at the MUGA Sport England 70 Jumps for the Jubilee Y.I.F /CIN/ Government 10 Chromebooks Arnold Clark Community Fund Parks Day support NHS Make the Change Girls Saturday football
Various other small donations – via donation tins, sponsorship, food etc.
## **Sports Provision**
Our sports programmes allow us to engage young people and provide regular positive, structured activities. These activities provide a platform to remove barriers between the young people. As they train and play together in teams, they are able to get to know one another whilst taking part in activities they enjoy. The activities and workshops provide structured engagement, training, and qualifications alongside an achievable pathway to future employment opportunities.
Young people on the estate are affected by gang culture and are at risk of getting involved with youth violence, drugs, and knife crime.
Through our engagement we have built a trusted relationship with young people allowing us to engage with a wide range of young people from St Matthews and across the city. We host regular tournaments and provide medals and trophies.
Sessions are advertised through social media, word of mouth and other local agencies. Young people can be referred from other local agencies and the police if they felt they would benefit for the programme.
Taking part in physical activity has many wide-ranging benefits, including health, mental health, sociability and developing good habits in young people that will continue to benefit them through their lives.
All sessions are fun and inclusive, and delivered by qualified staff, who have progressed from participant to volunteer to employee. Staff live locally and are
5
known to the young people. This relationship between participant and coach is built on mutual trust and respect and is a key factor in retaining participants as the relationship is more than just coach and participant. Coaches act as positive inspirational role models, mentoring and providing pastural support to the young people.
As an organisation, we are providing safe, structured, supervised activities, where parents know their children are taking part and not hanging around on the streets.
Our sports programme maintains the credibility and respect of our organisation amongst the community.
Participants have completed the FA Playmakers Award, Level 1 Football Coaching certificate, Safeguarding Young People and first aid qualifications.
## **Lawn Tennis Association**
Our partnership with the LTA has allowed us to access resources including tennis rackets, nets, playing equipment and medals, trophies and certificates which has allowed us to run open tournaments during the school holidays. We were also provided with tickets to attend Wimbledon this summer.
## **Violence Reduction Network**
VRN funding has allowed us to deliver sports engagement activities on Saturdays between 2 and 6pm for young people aged between 11 and 25. Alongside sports activities we have delivered monthly workshops to educate young people around the dangers of youth violence, gangs and drugs. We also took part in the HOPE HACK, which is a collection of youth organisations working with young people to tackle youth violence, this year’s hope hack was in Coventry. Our partnership with the VRN provided an opportunity for 8 young people to spend the day at Leicestershire Police Force HQ, where they met with the Chief Constable and engaged with various police departments including the dog handlers and gun unit. The police were invited to St Matthews House where they delivered an anti-knife crime workshop and brought along the knife arch. A football match between the Community and the Police was hosted at the Cruyff Court, with the community winning 12-4, this game will now be hosted annually as part of our continued commitment to develop relationships between young people and the Police.
## **Jump for the Jubilee - Women’s activity**
We have provided weekly activity sessions where women have taken part in walking, football, cricket, and rounders. Alongside our activity sessions we have delivered monthly healthy eating workshops and provided all regular participants with a fitness tracker to monitor their activity level to encourage them to remain active during the week.
## **Girl’s football**
There is a lack of provision for girls on the estate. Funding has allowed us to address the lack of activities for girls as this demographic is massively underrepresented. We deliver a regular girl only football session on the Cruyff Court every Saturday between 12:30 and 1:30pm.
Other activities during the September 2021 to August 2022 period included:
- LCFC Community Trust – programme of sports activities
- Internal sports provision for 15 hours’ week, including tournaments and competitions
6
- Half Term Holiday Fun and Food

Across all our activities from September 2021 to August 2022 we have reached in total nearly 13,666 opportunities for residents to participate in our activities, supported by nearly 293 volunteering opportunities, 11 part-time staff and an active Board of Trustees.
## **Contribution Made by Volunteers**
Volunteering continues to be an integral part of the Charity’s work. The volunteer Board of Trustees remains central to offering strategic vision and direction to the Charity.
Additionally, there has been ongoing voluntary input from many local organisation and individuals in particular staff from the Central England Co-op food and funeral services, Good Gym Leicester and residents who willingly give their time to supporting and offering practical help with various activities and events.
For the period September 2021 to August 2022, the charity’s bank of local volunteers contributed over 293 attendances averaging 879 hours to assist with various projects and activities. It is estimated we had around 35 regular volunteers last year.
Volunteers undertake a range of activities of activities from litter picking, gardening, supporting holiday activities and food programmes, wrapping parcels at Christmas, help setting up and clearing at St Matthews Community Parks Day, supporting the Jubilee event and much more.
The Charity’s Food Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes from September 2020 to August 2021 have been a tremendous success, only made possible with the involvement, help and support from our bank of volunteers who worked tirelessly with the Charity and partner agencies in providing hot meals, brunches and food parcels for children on St Matthews estate.
## **Financial Review**
## **Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period**
At the end of the year the Charity’s unrestricted net current assets are £51,595 and Last year they were £43,629, this is an increase of £7,903.
7
## **Reserves**
The Charity wishes to hold six months general expenses and one month of staff costs in unrestricted funds. It is felt that this level of reserves is necessary because it can often take many months for grant applications to be processed. The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (free reserves) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of resources expended, which equates to £12,000 to £15,000 in general funds. At this time the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.
## **Sources of Funding**
Currently, the main source of income for the Charity is The Big Local which has £1,000,000 to be used over 10 years to benefit the residents of St Matthews Estate. Expenditure is governed by the Local Plan which has been written and revised after extensive consultation with residents. The final Big Local Plan covering the last 4 years of the Big Local project has been approved by Local Trust. There is an estimated £320,000 of funding available.
We continue to receive ongoing customer donations from Applegreen Petrol Station, which we are grateful to receive.
## **We would like to thank:**
UK Cycling, Tudor Trust, Leicester and Rutland Community Foundation, Sport England, Leicester and Rutland Freemasons, Tudor Trust, Leicester City Council, Football Foundation, Arnold Clark Community Fund, Hastings Direct, Neighbourly, Cruyff Foundation and all other donations, sponsors, food suppliers.
We have continued to receive funding from Tudor Trust for a grant continuation towards staffing costs and also a grant to help make our premises Covid secure.

## **Independent Examiner's Report**
to the Trustees of St Matthews Big Local (Leicester)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Matthews Big Local (Leicester) (the charity) for the year ended 31[st] August 2022.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”)
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

## **Notes to the Accounts**
**Note 1: Basis of preparation** . 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
## **1.1 Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts 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) issued on 16 July 2014
- and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United
- Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
- and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## **1.2 Going concern** - The Charity is a going concern.
## **Note 2: Accounting policies**
**2.1 Income:** This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity
**Recognition of income:** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
- the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting: There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations:** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies:** Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
**Tax reclaims on donations and gifts:** Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
13
**Contractual income and performance related grants:** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
**Government grants:** The charity has received no government grants in the reporting period.
**Donated goods:** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
**Gifts in kind:** for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.
**Donated services and facilities:** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
**Volunteer help:** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
**Income from interest, royalties and dividends:** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
**Settlement of insurance claims:** Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA.
## **2.3 Expenditure and liabilities**
**Liability recognition:** Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Support costs:** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Governance and support costs:** Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have either been charged directly to funds or allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
**Grants with performance conditions:** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without performance conditions:** Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
**Pensions and other post retirement obligations:** The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the
14
Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
