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

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To further or benefit the residents of Scholemoor and the neighbouring communities, 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 interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have power:

To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.

To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Scholemoor in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.

To promote such other charitable purposes (charitable under English law) for the public benefit in Scholemoor and for the benefit of the neighbouring communities as may from time to time be determined. Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for purposes which are not charitable in accordance with section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.

The charity's main activities

Since the extension to the community centre which opened in April 2021 we have been able to deliver so much more to local people. Three years on – it feels like we need yet another extension, due to pressure on the building and trying to balance the competing demands of income generation and providing sessions to meet the needs of the local community.

We have seen a slight increase in our earned income through one off room hire and hope to develop more long term arrangements to ensure that we are diversifying our funding as much as possible.

We continue to offer a range of sessions for local people across all ages and offer one to one support for those in crisis. We have successfully got additional funding for young people and are extending the offer to provide one to one support to them and provide new opportunities to achieve. This includes supporting a young person to take part in their college course, another to respond more positively to advice and support a young woman taking a pregnancy test. We are putting in place plans to get young people represented at Board meetings and to have their voice heard throughout the organisation.

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 improving the lives of people living in Scholemoor, providing a range of activities and increasing the capacity of local residents.

Achievements and performance

We continue to make a difference to the lives of people living in Scholemoor and beyond. We get feedback to say that we have helped individuals overcome difficulties and offered practical solutions in times of crisis. The staff and volunteers are prepared to go the extra mile and help the whole community. We have provided opportunities for people to try new things. Leading up to the City of Culture we have had young people involved in engagement activity, take part in a youth arts project where they made zines, printed a huge print in partnership with People Powered Press and took part in a beauty course.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Other activities for children and young people included the holiday activities, with trip to the BIG SWING and Buckden House Outdoor Adventure centre where everyone had a great time. For some of the children this was the first time they had been out to the Yorkshire Dales and taking part in gorge walking and jumping off high towers.

Being part of the Bradford Community Play Partnership we participated in the Shared Learning event in April. We brought play leaders, play advocates and stakeholders to promote play for all ages and ensure that play was on the agenda for everyone. Through Bradford Community Play Partnership we delivered two “save a life” training sessions for parents and carers, learning how to deliver CPR to children, dealing with choking and other emergencies. To support the Outdoor Adventure play we commissioned some fire pit training and invited other colleagues to attend. It was a great session and they team learned some key cooking skills and how to manage a fire pit session safely. It was a revelation, and we found out about the amazing Kelly kettle. Children love using the fire pit and hot chocolate is very welcome on a cold evening. As part of the same piece of work we delivered a 9 week programme of healthy eating and exercise to parents and carers, bringing together two of our favourite people Ingrid providing innovative healthy ideas like broccoli pizza base and Noreen delivering graduated exercise sessions.

In May we had another successful Health Check day working with the WOW Community Partnership, over 50 people attended and nearly two thirds of the people attending discovered an issue including high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and referred to Living Well, weight management programmes and smoking cessation. A joint trip with staff, trustees and local people to Ilkley was enjoyed by all and included a nature photography workshop followed by lunch at the Clarke Foley Centre.

In June, we gained two new members of the team, Ali joining as Play Assistant to support the outdoor adventure play, he had originally come from school on placement, so is the youngest member of the team. We entered a new partnership with Friends of Brackenhill Park who were successful in getting Awards for All funding to recruit an Engagement worker. As an unincorporated organisation they did not have the right legal structure to employ a worker, so we agreed to employ the Friends of Brackenhill Park (FoBP) Engagement worker, this has brought benefits for both Scholemoor Beacon and FoBP. June was a busy month as we also started delivering our fortnightly advice sessions with European Drom, focussing on the Eastern European community.

In our role as Co Anchors of WOW Community Partnerships, we participated in regular meetings and evaluated ABCD grant applications.

We developed a new partnership with the University of Bradford and hosted 2 Occupational Therapist (OT) students over 9 weeks. They supported our Wellbeing and Older people’s groups and developed a work book to help people think about if they were having difficulty doing activities to think about pacing and grading. It was a pleasure to have two young women supporting our work and we benefited from what they did. We also did a piece of work with Frances Lawrence a Project Manager who gave her time for free and helped us to come up with a fundraising plan for sustaining Scholemoor Beacon into 2026.

We continue to provide low cost food to the community as part of the FoodSavers network, which aims to give people choice, dignity and encourage financial inclusion. Over this financial year, local people have saved £3188 into their Bradford and District Credit Union. Through working alongside CHAS@St Vincents Advice service, 175 people have had benefits checks that have seen them increase their financial position by £567,111 between 1/1/24 – 31/12/24.

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

Financial review

The net income for the year was £989, including net income of £2,672 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £1,683 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £94,992.

  1. The purpose of our Reserves Policy is to:

  2. l Give confidence to funders by demonstrating good stewardship and financial management

  3. l Demonstrate the charity’s sustainability and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties

  4. l Give voluntary funders, such as grant-makers, an understanding of why funding is needed to undertake a particular project or activity

  5. l Give assurance to lenders and creditors that the charity can meet its financial commitments

  6. l Manage risk to the charity’s reputation from holding substantial unspent funds at the year-end without explanation

  7. Scholemoor Beacon is currently dependent on donations and grants to sustain its activities. If these existing sources of income are depleted or lost, it is crucial to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to keep Scholemoor Beacon running for 3 months or to allow the charity to wind up while meeting its obligation to staff and service users. The main concerns of the board are to ensure:

  8. l That staff can continue working

  9. l That staff can be supported if the charity should go through a time of financial instability

  10. It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain reserves sufficient to cover all the Restricted Funds and no less than three month’s and no more than six month’s operating costs. These reserves should be built up from the unrestricted income.

  11. If the charity has excess reserves then the board will consider how these funds could be best used and make this clear by designating funds for future expenditure. If this is the case then these designations and timings are included as an appendix to this policy.

  12. If significant resources are held in reserves then the board may consider investing some of these funds to obtain a financial return for the charity. In making these decisions, the board will consider the likelihood that some or all of the reserves held may need to be accessed at short notice.

  13. If the charity has excess reserves, the board will ensure that the organisation does not misrepresent the urgency or need for funds with donors.

7. The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every 3 months by the Treasurer.

This policy shall be reviewed every 3 years and whenever there are significant changes in staff hours, staff numbers or new projects.

Approved by the board of trustees on 9/9/2025

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2025

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.

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.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Leasehold extension: over the life of the lease Office equipment: over 4 years Computer equipment: over 3 years

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.
