## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

To advance heritage generally and/or preserve, for the benefit of the general public, the historical, architectural and constructional heritage existing in and around Marsden in buildings (including any structure or erection, and any part of a building as so defined) of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest; 

To advance the arts, culture, education, health and well-being by (but not restricted to) the provision of facilities in which these activities can take place for the benefit of the public in Marsden and/or those who, by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, have need of such facilities. 

To provide or assist in the provision of recreational facilities for the public at large. 

To advance environmental protection and improvement in Marsden through the provision, maintenance and/or improvement of public open space and other public amenities and other environmental and regeneration projects (but subject to appropriate safeguards to ensure that the public benefits so arising clearly outweigh any private benefit thereby conferred on private landowners) 

To further such other exclusively charitable purposes according to the law of England and Wales as the Directors in their absolute discretion from time to time determine. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Marsden Community Trust exists to take on assets and run them for the benefit of Marsden, West Yorkshire, and the surrounding areas. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

The Trust devotes most of its energy to ensuring that the community of Marsden has a robust and welcoming community centre in the Mechanics. This provision benefits all Marsden residents owing to its inclusiveness but special efforts are made to welcome the disadvantaged, for instance those living with dementia. During the Covid period, the Mechanics also played an important part in provision of a food bank for those in difficulty. These and other initiatives benefit people directly but there is also the less tangible benefit to the ambience of the village and its economic performance as a tourism destination that results from the noble presence of this fine building at the heart of the village. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Marsden Mechanics has had a transformative year, strengthening its role as a creative and community - driven hub. We delivered a year-long cultural and wellbeing programme shaped by local consultation, with over 4,000 engagements across 146 free workshops. Activities included a youth theatre, community choir, storytelling sessions, cooking classes and games groups, offering accessible opportunities for connection, learning and wellbeing. Our Grassroots Live Music Programme hosted six diverse events featuring genres from South Indian Raga to Drum and Bass, engaging over 700 attendees and supporting 63 artists. We also launched Tenterhooks, a public poetry and art project with Simon Armitage, which celebrated Marsden’s character and connected the community through creative expression. The Mechanics has proven its ability to respond to community needs with ambition and care. This year’s work leaves a lasting legacy and a solid foundation for future growth. 

## **Financial review** 

The net expenditure for the year was £88, including net income of £9,240 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £9,328 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £93,217. 

The charity aims to build reserves to cover 6 months operating expenditure for the purpose of ensuring the smooth running of the charity and to enable an orderly winding up should the charity need to close.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by the board of trustees on 16/10/2025

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Marsden Community Trust Limited 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 14. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.
