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.

Relationships with other charities / organisations
Collaboration is key to the work of the LS14 Trust and partnerships within the local community are at the heart of all we do.
We also collaborate with many charities and organizations that support our mission. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we formed “We Are Seacroft,” a coalition of community organisations and residents working together to address social issues. This group has used innovative strategies, such as a refurbished ice cream van for community outreach, to engage residents and provide essential information. We also partner with Leeds City Council, local councillors, and various city-wide organisations. Additionally, we have established strong relationships with funders and are members of 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.
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.

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.
Working with the community, building on strengths and assets:
The LS14 Trust has always worked with the local community and believes that real change tends to come from the bottom-up. The Seacroft community exhibits a strong sense of pride and potential, with residents actively seeking to build upon its existing assets. There is a desire for even stronger community bonds, a vibrant community life, and increased inclusivity and diversity. Residents envision a welcoming and embracing community that celebrates people from all backgrounds and walks of life. There is a strong emphasis on fostering a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. The community demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing challenges and finding solutions. Residents are eager to collaborate with local authorities and organisations to improve safety, enhance communication, and promote environmental well-being. There is a wealth of innovative ideas and a willingness to take ownership of community initiatives. This active engagement and commitment to positive change are indicative of a community that is resilient, resourceful, and optimistic about its future. Our work will continue to be shaped by this community going forward.
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.

LS14 Trust
Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
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.
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 Clinical Commissioning Group 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.

A big thank you
We extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff team and the passionate members of our community. Over the past year, we have had the privilege of supporting thousands of individuals within LS14. We also sincerely thank our generous funders for their support and encouragement, as well as the numerous organisations we have collaborated with to benefit the LS14 community.
Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £142,091, including net expenditure of £63,439 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £78,652 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 £65,243 and £83,434.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £70,021.
This represents just over 1 month 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 £3,000 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.

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.

-
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
-

Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2024
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
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.
Taxation
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
