## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 23 February 2009. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended 10 May 2016. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £10.
The day to day running and operational decision making of the charity are the responsibility of the Charity CEO and staff team who work closely with the local community to ensure that the work and development of the charity is shaped and developed by local people.
As our charity is based on the skills and passions of local people, the overall strategic lead and development of the project is overseen by a board of trustees made up of at least 50% local people living within the LS14 postcode. The LS14 Trust CEO reports to this board.
When there is a position available the post of Trustee is advertised through local and city-wide networks. All new trustees are interviewed by an existing trustee and then work through a clear induction process highlighting the vision and values of the charity and all policies and procedures.

## LS14 Trust
## Trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Structure, governance and management continued**
## **Arrangements for setting pay of key management personnel**
The pay structure for the Trust is based on the NJC pay scales, with annual pay reviews agreed by LS14 Trust trustees.
## **Relationships with other charities / organisations**
We work closely with a range of other charities and organisations which help us meet our charitable objects. Since early in the Covid-19 pandemic a new coalition of third sector organisations banded together with residents to respond to social challenges. The result has been the creation of a new collaboration named “We Are Seacroft,” consisting of a dozen organisations including LS14 Trust, Fall Into Place Theatre, Seacroft Community on Top, Kentmere Community Centre, Seacroft Parish and Chapel FM Arts Centre.
The We Are Seacroft group has used creative engagement tools ranging from a spruced-up vintage ice cream van that delivered information about vaccines, sports activities and pop-up broadcasting to half-term and summer holiday camps for young people.
We have developed a strong partnership with Leeds City Council and our local councillors and work with charities and organisations across the city including: Voluntary Action Leeds; Forum Central; Leeds Community Foundation; Local Care Partnerships; Public Health; School Clusters and Active Leeds.
We have forged good relationships with funders including the National Lottery; Children in Need; and Imagine foundation. We are members of Social Enterprise Yorkshire & Humber (SEYH), Locality and the International Federation of Settlements.
## **Administrative details**
The trustees delegate the day to day management and running of the charity to the staff, in particular Howard Bradley (CEO).
Trustees and staff are encouraged to develop skill levels through ongoing training opportunities from external providers Including Voluntary Action Leeds and Leeds City Council.
LS14 Trust is also a member of the national organisation Locality which provides ongoing advice and development opportunities for staff and Trustees.
## **Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees**
The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of LS14 (Seacroft, Swarcliffe and Whinmoor) in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
To further or benefit the residents of LS14 (Seacroft, Swarcliffe and Whinmoor) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.

## LS14 Trust
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Objectives and activities continued**
## **The charity's main activities**
The LS14 Trust was set up in 2009 by a group of local people who wanted to work together to strengthen the community that they loved. The project works across the whole of the LS14 postcode. It aims to bring people together to make a positive difference. Our vision is to see LS14 become a welcoming, vibrant, happy-place where people feel in control of their lives and are proud of their achievements. We want this to be a wellconnected community which recognises its power to bring about and sustain positive social change, a place where every resident is safe and respected.
The mission of the LS14 Trust is to build upon the strengths of our community by working together to develop activities and opportunities, promoting the area as a vibrant and exciting place to live, work and bring up a family.
We believe in …
## **AUTHENTICITY**
We want to be loyal and true to our community.
We will always start by listening to and working with the people who are around us.
## **EMPOWERMENT**
We want to work together to bring out the gifts, skills and potential we all have as individuals and as a community.
## **COLLABORATION**
We think it’s always better to work together.
## **HOSPITALITY**
We believe in a good old cuppa tea and a natter. When people feel welcome and part of a community things begin to change for the better.
## **FUN**
Life’s not just about hard work – you’ve got to let your hair down! We want our community to be a place of joy and fun.
## **SYSTEMIC CHANGE**
We want to work towards real lasting change in our community that will make it a better place to live for our children and grandchildren.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular, education and training, the advancement of health or saving of lives, the prevention or relief of poverty and economic/community development/employment.
## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims**
## **We believe in a reflective and interactive approach to the community work that we deliver.**
We listen to and actively encourage the community to shape the work that we do. We believe that by using an asset based community development approach to our work we ensure that we continue to be shaped by and respond to the community thus ensuring we are delivering our aims.
Our approach to all aspects of our work lends itself to continual evaluation and allows us to take iterative steps in order to respond to uncertain times. We are able to evaluate the processes in our projects, such as, how well have we shared information and agreed on collective goals, and we measure our successes by assessing the impact we have had on those most in need.

## LS14 Trust
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Objectives and activities continued**
We are adept at sharing our findings and evaluating our methodology and we have been successful at doing this in a range of projects that have been funded by the CCG and the West Yorkshire Health Partnership. The LS14 Trust is a trusted local organisation that has taken a strategic lead in the area and has the knowledge and experience to share the lessons learnt through this collaboration. On a micro-level we consider which projects have worked on the ground, while being able to reflect on our contribution to systemic change in this area, and how these processes may inform attempts to reduce health inequalities and improve quality of life.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Core Delivery:**
Over the last 12 months the core work of the LS14 Trust has continued to be shaped by our long term assetbased approach to community work. A lot of what we have delivered this year, by design, has not been new projects but has built on the work from the previous year. The post-Covid landscape has required a steadying of the ship, consistency, and a focus on long-term decision making in response to uncertain times.
## **ABCD**
We have a dedicated staff team working in the community with an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Approach. This has continued to provide support for local people to develop small scale community-led projects which respond directly to needs and desires of the local community- for example a new group focusing on crafting and crochet. We have also trained over 20 organisations and community projects across the city to develop ABCD skills.
We have continued to deliver our Lottery-funded Seacroft People’s Learning Lab project running weekly sessions and special events throughout the year. We have worked with over 500 local people, developing community leaders and focusing on positive things we want to change in our community to make it even better. This year has seen a continued focus on youth work (see below), support for asylum seekers in our community and environmental interventions.
## **Food security**
A major focus of our work this year has been the renovation of the LS14 Trust building. This process has taken most of the year and was led brilliantly by Chris Jackson and a staff team. The building now has a new energy efficient electric heating system and is equipped with a new cafe space, community pantry and warm and welcoming meeting spaces.
The cafe is serving affordable and healthy food 4 days a week and a strong and skilled volunteer team has been established working alongside the staff team to deliver this.
Following a successful pilot phase, this year has seen the official launch of the Seacroft Pantry as a positive and asset-based response to the cost of living crisis that is having a significant impact in our community. As the year ends we have over 300 families signed up and using the pantry, which is run by the community for the community.
This year has also seen the continued development and delivery of family food classes on a weekly basis. This is delivered in partnership with Kentmere Community Centre and has seen 30+ families develop their cooking skills and take away slow cookers to continue the cooking at home.
## **Young people and family work.**
Our focus on youth and children’s work remains strong and we are working towards developing a communityled/ multi-agency, long-term sustainable plan for such work across Seacroft. Each week we work with over 200 children.
- We run a youth club which caters for up to 150 children ages 4-17 every Friday.
- Sibs group which was created from a need for more support of siblings of children who have SEND.
- A boys and a girls group and a group for young people exploring identity.
- A sports leaders programme and a youth leaders programme.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Achievements and performance continued**
We have also run a year of holiday activities catering for over 500 children in activities, events and street parties.
We continue to deliver youth work in Seacroft as part of the East Leeds Youth Alliance to support youth work delivered by the council.
We have started exploring the potential of developing a new Playbox project alongside the community in Killingbeck.
## **We Are Seacroft**
The last few years has seen third sector organisations and residents coming together from across Seacroft to support each other through some difficult times. As we transition, we know there are still challenges ahead but our collaboration makes us stronger.
This year saw the We Are Seacroft collaboration officially launched, and a large community celebration at Kentmere Community Centre.
The We Are Seacroft collective meet on a weekly basis and have organised ongoing training and development opportunities both for organisations and community members throughout the year focusing on issues such as Wellbeing, inclusive working, and unconscious bias.
The We Are Seacroft website has been developed as has ongoing shared marketing to let people across Seacroft know what opportunities are available to them across the community.
We Are Seacroft has also secured funding to deliver a cost of living response. This means that across Seacroft people can be supported with food and heating issues and supported to make sustainable steps forward.
## **Health and wellbeing**
We continue to deliver our innovative group based Arts Therapy work both in our building and in venues across the community as part of the Live Well Leeds contract.
We continue to develop our relationship with the Local Care Partnership and the Primary Care Network to ensure that local residents have a voice in decision making processes and are able to influence responses to local health inequalities.
We have developed joint training opportunities with the health sector and have worked closely with them to provide ABCD training and organisational development.
We continue to develop community led focus groups which feed into and directly influence the work of the health sector in our community.
## **- City wide development**
This year has seen the CEO of LS14 Trust play a key role in the establishing and growth of the Leeds Community Anchor Network. The network has grown in influence and is proving an effective mechanism to secure resource for our local community and to ensure the voices of our community are being listened to across the city,
## **A big thank you**
A huge thank you to our staff team and to our committed and passionate community.
We have supported thousands of people across our community over the last 12 months. We would also like to thank our numerous funders who have supported and encouraged us in our work as well as the many organisations we have worked alongside during this time for the benefit of the community of LS14.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £86,822, including net income of £41,149 on unrestricted funds and net income of £45,673 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
Our policy for reserves is to ensure that there are between 3 and 6 months of non-grant-funded salaries and overheads + 2.5% contingency and enough reserves to cover redundancy costs if ever required. This would currently equate to between £49,873 and £62,941.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £137,938.
This represents approximately 2 months of overall annual expenditure. However much of our operational spend is secured from restricted funds (for example the majority of staff salaries and project costs.) Our expected overheads and staff salaries that come from unrestricted funds in the forthcoming year are approximately £4,250 per month, hence we have sufficient reserves to cover over 12 months of unrestricted fund expenditure. We seek to include overhead and management costs in our grants applications, and seek specific grants, to help with these overheads and to maintain our reserves. We also receive a small amount of sales and donations in our community pantry and café.
The trustees recognise that any shortfall in funding for activities funded by restricted funds will mean that activities and expenditure could be reduced or stopped should such circumstances arise.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **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 30/10/2023

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LS14 Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 11 to 23.
## **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**
Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

## LS14 Trust
## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **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 financial statements 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) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.
No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, if it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **Investments**
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Grants payable 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**
