## **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. 

2 



## **Review of the Past Year** 

St Matthews Big Local (Leicester) (SMBL) 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. 

Our weekly food bank remains in place and is well managed by a regular group of volunteers.  This operates on a Tuesday each week and those accessing it are asked for a small contribution to help cover the cost of the Fare share delivery. During the reporting period there were 685 attendances. 

## **The Big Local Programme** 

With the Big Local grants programme was due to finish in August 2024, however we were able to negotiate with Local Trust to extend the grant to August 2025. We were able to achieve this as there had been an underspend in our grant offer mainly due to the Covid pandemic. Also, in this period the Trustees agreed not to continue with the Social Enterprise project as there was not sufficient time to set it up and let it run within the time remaining of the Big Local Programme. 

The current Big Local programme delivery continues with many of the set projects outlined in the plan. A new part time delivery assistant has been employed to help deliver the plan. The team work together to deliver the bigger projects such as St Matthews Community Parks Day. 

## **The Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and St Matthews Cruyff Court** 

The facility opening in August 2018 is now five years old and is used by far more members of our community than we could have ever imaged when the original concept was designed. Thanks to funding from organisations such as the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Violence Reduction Network, Cruyff Foundation, Samworth Brothers Sports Opportunity Fund and Hasting Direct we continue to run free sessions for at least 13 hours a week, in addition to these sessions our partner Leicester City in the Community also runs free sessions each Tuesday.  Over the summer months this year we temporarily increased our delivery to also cover Sundays. 

In addition to football the basketball court continues to be very popular and this year we invested in new backboard to keep the area looking fresh and new. 

## **Holiday Activities and Food Programme.** 

In the school holidays we continue to partner with Leicester City Council and the Department for Education who provide us with a grant to deliver the Holiday Activities and Food Programme. This runs for 2 weeks in the Easter holiday, 4 weeks in the summer holiday and a week at Christmas. We provide hot meals and sports related activities each day for up to 50 children who are on benefit related free school meals. 

## **The "Art at St Matthews" project** 

This year we were provided with significant funding from the Arts Council, supported with funding from Leicester City Council Cultural Ambitions Fund to deliver several arts taster sessions across the estate. The project was delivered and managed in corroboration with Buzzing Roots. 

The project has made St Matthews into a vibrant creative hub. Leicester's Assistant City Mayor, Cllr Vi Dempster, praises the programme's diverse arts and activities, benefiting all ages. Artist Sian Watson Taylor engaged the Ladies Only group in visual storytelling, fostering unity and breaking cultural barriers. The 

3 



project revamped the local library's storage room into an environmental and health-compliant space. Additionally, it offered children Melodic Play Time sessions, promoting music appreciation and family literacy. The initiative not only empowered young people, it also brought together diverse communities, instilling a sense of pride and creativity in St Matthews. One local young person secured their first paid jobs in the arts. The success culminated in exhibitions, Parks Day celebrations, and the creation of mini-libraries, leaving a lasting impact on community cohesion. 

## **Change Makers** 

Throughout the year a group of teenage young people have met together to work on projects ranging from gardening for elderly residents to working as a team behind the scenes on Parks Day.  They are an impressive group of young citizens. 

## **Sports Provision** 

## **There have been 17,827 recorded attendances at our Sports sessions in the past 12 months.** 

## **Violence Reduction Network** 

SMBL continues to work closely with the Violence Reduction Network, this partnership is strengthened through regular workshops alongside sports activities to educate and raise awareness of young people around the dangers of youth violence, gangs and drugs. 

## **Late Night Football** 

Thanks to a grant from the Police Crime Commissioner, SMBL was able to address the lack of activity for young people on a Friday night, which meant they were hanging around on the streets, getting into trouble and causing anti-social behaviour. After a successful trial period, we were able to offer 20 weeks of latenight football. These sessions are regularly attended by up to 40 young people from across the city. 

## **Qualifications** 

We continue to provide qualifications for young people to develop their CVs, and provide them with pathways into future employment. Young people have competed the EE playmaker award, first aid and safeguarding qualifications and also gain level one football coaching certificates. 

## **Employment of local coaches** 

Local young people who have completed the level one coaching certificate are provided with the opportunity to complete work experience and put into practice what they have learned on the course. 11 young people are now employed by SMBL as sports coaches, coaching and mentoring local young people during the sessions and acting as positive role models. Young people aspire to follow in the footsteps of the coaches who they look up to and see that taking part in volunteering and completing qualifications can lead to future employment opportunities. 

## **Street Doctors Workshops** 

We delivered sessions for our young people as part of the reducing violence programme. The sessions educated young people on "what to do when someone gets stabbed " and "what to do when someone is knocked out" each lasting 1 hour, for a group of 15 young people, and were delivered by medical students at the University of Leicester.

## **Holiday Activities and Food Programme** 

Our HAF programme has proved to be successful with up to 50 young people attending regularly. Sessions are structured to provide activities catering for all ability levels, a healthy and hot lunch and a reward activity on the final day of the programme. This year young people were taken to Ninja Warrior. The desert rat’s army community engagement team attending the HAF programme this year delivering a day of team building and leadership workshops. 

## **Buzzing Roots** 

An arts project delivered with Buzzing Roots titled ‘That Thing on Saturday’ gave young people the opportunity to come into St Matthews house on Saturday afternoons and try out drama and spoken word workshops. Young people were able to discuss what challenges they are facing and create artwork to share their story. 

## **Police Partnership** 

We continue to work closely with Leicestershire Police to strengthen the relationship between young people and the Police. Police officers have delivered interactive workshops around stop and search, knife crime and the dangers of drugs and gang violence.

## **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 organisations 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 2022 to August 2023, 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 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 2022 to August 2023 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 £69,703 and Last year they were £51,595, this is an increase of £18,108. 

6 



## **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 £20,000 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:** 

Hasting Direct, Police Crime Commissioner, Barclays, Leicester City Council, De Montfort University, StreetGames, PCC/ Violent Reduction Network, Arts Council National Lottery, Samworth Brothers Sports Fund, Leicester City Council / D.F.E, LCC Cycling, Ward Council, Leicester City Council / ARTS / Cultural Ambition Fund, Leicester City Council / D.F.E and all other donations, sponsors, food suppliers.

## **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 2023. 

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: 

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or 

the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **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. 

12 



**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 

13 



Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year. 

**Redundancy cost** : The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. 

**Creditors:** The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

**Basic financial instruments:** The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS 102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP. 

## **2.4 Assets** 

**Tangible fixed assets for use by charity:** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £800.  They are valued at cost.
