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) (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.

Our weekly food fare remains in place and is well managed by a regular group of volunteers. This operates on a Tuesday each week during term time 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 874 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.

The Big Local funding has now entered the close out phase (less than £150,000 remaining) during the next 12 months when the charity has less than £75,000 of Big Local funding available, we will enter the close out period, during this period there will be no requirement to report expenditure to Local Trust and they will waiver final reporting requirements. There will be a requirement to publish spend on our website to ensure we remain accountable to the community.

The Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) & Cruyff Court

The facility opening in August 2018 is now six years old and is used by far more members of our community than we could have ever imaged when the original concept was designed.

We continue to be kindly supported by grants for our delivery from the Office of the Police and Crime commissioner, Cruyff Foundation, Samworth Brothers sports opportunity fund and Hasting Direct these grants have allowed us to continue to run free sessions for at least 13 hours a week, these sessions are in addition to these sessions our partners Leicester City in the Community also run free sessions each Tuesday. Again, in the Summer of 2023/24 we were able to increase our sports delivery to cover Sundays, providing a 7 day a week operation.

We were pleased to be supporting in the spring by employees from British Gas (Centrica) who volunteered to spring clean the area, cutting back shrubs and painting benches to refresh the area.

For the past six years rental income has so far been ringfenced for maintenance and direct running cost of the facility, but as we move forward, we may start to use some of this income to pay for Sports Coach Salaries.

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 holidays, 4 weeks in the summer holidays and four days at Christmas. We provide hot meals and sports related activities for up to 50 children who are on benefit related free school meals each day.

Children have enjoyed a hot nutritious meal, free fun activities and trips out.

The Big Local plan delivery.

During the past 12 months Jan Bryars was employed on a casual basis to deliver elements of the Big Local plan, Jan brought a new refreshed outlook on delivery and was able to engage widely with the community and worked closely with the local primary school, Taylor Road.

In the last 12 months we have placed particular emphasis on the delivery of our ‘Cleaner and Greener’ vision. This has created a happy crossover with some of our other pledges in terms of project delivery.

Cleaner and Greener

We provided St Matthews families with a range of fun, educational activities and asked the children what a ‘Cleaner and Greener Environment’ really means. Appreciating, to start with, the environment of their bedroom, next their home and garden, St Matthews estate, Leicester city and surrounding countryside and ultimately the planet. Then consider what small things they can do to reduce, recycle and reuse. With particular importance to repurposing objects or litter that they might once have thrown away. We offered eight workshops where children and parents created new items out of old. Five of these also included a cultural festival element. These holiday-time workshops have been very popular, with 586 children and parents engaging throughout the year.

In June we held a junk modelling competition to create a sculpture from (clean!) recycled items. 51 entries were received, and winners included a junk munching monster and models of Vancouver Rd playpark, a recycling factory and an ‘ideal world’. A lot of creativity and the children are clearly taking the message to heart

During the year we also conducted five litter picks with various community groups, plus a few ad hoc sessions.

In addition to the ‘cleaner’ pledge we have been ‘greening’ St Matthews estate by planting a wide variety of over 800 spring and summer flowering bulbs. This has been achieved by working with our youth club, the Changemakers, the What Cabin and other partners such as Centrica PLC who did a major tidy-up of the MUGA and Austin Jackson Memorial Garden in June, and a month later dug out, weeded, painted and replanted the raised beds and hanging baskets on Mackenzie Way. A huge improvement!

During the summer term Big Local delivered an Eco Club at Taylor Road Primary. The six sessions included understanding the environment, the problem of microplastics, sustainable energy, celebrating World Earth Day, planting flowers and food, bird spotting and a ‘do you know St Matthews?’ history quiz/walking tour. There were lots of fun activities including making beachscapes, bird feeders, wind chimes and a wildlife photography competition. We hope to collaborate again next year. The Year 1 children also worked with us to cultivate sunflowers from seeds. There were some fine specimens to be seen around St Matthews over the summer!

Celebrating Diversity and Talent

We celebrated a range of cultural festivals and encouraged our young artists with five arts and crafts workshops at both St Matthews House and St Matthews Community Centre. These included making Diwali, Christmas, New Year, Easter and Eid decorations, predominantly out of recyclable items. Lots of fun and an awful lot of (eco-friendly) glitter!!!!

At Christmas our wonderful young Changemakers delivered a party at Church Court for some of the more mature members of our community. We were joined

4

by residents from Sabramati House and St Matthews homes. Yummy food, bingo, a Christmas quiz and generous prizes from Creative Triangle.

Shortly after Christmas we took 22 children and parents to The Curve theatre to see The Owl Who Came for Christmas. For most of them it was their first trip seeing a live theatre show and the culmination of a performing arts qualification that they had taken earlier in the year. A truly magical day out.

Partnerships

This year Big Local has been privileged to partner with some great organisations that have made the delivery of the above projects possible, particularly the clean and green pledge: Centrica PLC, Taylor Road Primary School, the What Cabin, St Matthews Ladies Café. We also thank our partners: Leicester Library Services, The Curve, Buzzing Roots and Creative Triangle, for collaborating in delivering the arts and cultural projects.

And last, but by no means least, thank you to all our fantastic parent volunteers!

Sports Provision

There have been 11,555 recorded attendances at our Sport sessions in the past 12 months. 731 of the attendees were new participants.

We continue to deliver free daily sports sessions for at least 13 hours a week between 4 till 6pm, 4 till 7pm on Fridays, and between 2 and 6pm on Saturdays.

The sessions cater for young people between the ages of 8 and 21. Sessions are well attended, and we are engaging with over 200 young people each week.

We currently have thirteen hundred registered participants. During the school holidays, our commitment to engaging young people in positive activities to prevent them falling into anti-social behaviour we increase the delivery of our provision from 2 until 6pm and provide three additional sessions on Sundays between 4 and 7pm.

During the summer with the European championship football tournament held in Germany we held 5 football tournaments for each age group including a girl’s tournament, culminating in a German themed football final with over 250 young people attending.

Our sports sessions are underpinned with learning through engagement and allow us to provide volunteer opportunities for young people to grow in confidence and develop their communication and provide work experiences to develop their interpersonal skills and confidence and enhance their CVs. Out latenight football offer of providing 20 weeks of free football sessions to 16+ year olds between 9 and 11pm on Friday nights was well attended with on average 40 young people attending each week

Youth Club

This year, saw the start of a new service offered by the Big Local in the form on a twice weekly Youth Club ‘That Thing After School. Every Wednesday and Friday between 4 and 7pm young people are provided a variety of engaging activities that foster learning, creativity, and connection among its attendees.

Highlights so far have included trips to Laser Force and Drayton Manor Park, which offered fun and memorable bonding experiences.

We have hosted music, DJing and personal development workshops, allowing members to explore their creative talents and set individual goals.

5

In addition to that we held a successful series of firefighter workshops that covered essential safety topics like road traffic accidents, CPR, and fire safety by engaging the young participants with Virtual Reality Headsets, CPR Mannequins and quizzes.

The programme concluded with a visit to Hasting Road fire station, where participants had hands-on experiences with fire safety equipment and learned first aid skills.

Additionally, we have celebrated different festivals with food and activities that have brought everyone together, creating a warm, inclusive and inquisitive environment. Allowing participants to learn about different cultures and customs.

After consultation with young people, we have invested in new, high-quality equipment that have added to the fun, attracting more participants and encouraging them to stay involved. These include, pool and table tennis table, virtual reality headsets, dartboard, PlayStation 5, Karaoke machine.

The acquisition of this equipment and experiences we have offered have enriched the youth club participants, helping them build skills and strengthen connections within a supportive and enjoyable environment that we have created. Snacks and refreshments are provided to the young people at each session, as we start to teach participants basic cooking skills.

Other activities

Across all our activities from September 2023 to August 2024 we have reached in total nearly 16,400 opportunities for residents to participate in our activities. Activities include:

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, Centrica PLC and residents who willingly give their time to supporting and offering practical help with various activities and events.

6

For the period September 2023 to August 2024, the charity’s bank of local volunteers contributed over 300 attendances averaging 900 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 events and activates much more.

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 £145,315 and Last year they were £100,794, this is an increase of £44,521.

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.

1.2 Going concern - The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

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:

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

12

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.

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.

2.2 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.

13

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 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.
