## The Space@Field Lane Group
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To promote the benefit and enable the residents of field lane and the wider community of Rastrick and the local authority, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance learning, 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 residents in the area and in furthering these charitable purposes the trustees will:
Encourage community members to participate in a wide range of activities for their benefit, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions;
Help community members to participate in the life of the centre, to express their views and play an active part in the planning and management of the centre and their own activities creating a sense of community ownership.
## **The charity's main activities**
Our charity runs and maintains a community hub at the centre of an estate of social housing in a deprived area of West Yorkshire. Following a major refurbishment of the building and the difficulties of two years of lockdowns, we are now running activities for the local community to help stay off loneliness and isolation, to promote community cohesion and to provide opportunities for volunteering and training.
We have run exercise classes, an art group, a needlecraft group, a youth club, a successful community lunch every Friday with quiz and bingo. We have also run seasonal events: Halloween family party, Christmas party and Christmas Fayre and an Easter Fayre.
We run a community café which is open two days per week and which provides low cost food. We have lots of regular customers.
## **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 the advancement of learning and education and to provide facilities, in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving well-being.
## **Achievements and performance**
Now entering our fifth year since opening the centre is going from strength to strength offering a wider range of activities.
**Café** - our Wednesday café and our Friday lunch club continue to grow in success with more attendees, we serve food to over 70 different people over the 2 sessions. By using our allocation of food donated from Tesco we are able to keep food costs to a minimum and distribute some surplus food to the community via the centre and Field Lane School. We are grateful to Lidl who are donating us their surplus bakery products one day a week to distribute to the community , any donations for these are split between the centre and a local charity, My Mito Mission.
Through recruitment of volunteers we have extended our capacity to provide on site catering for meetings, training and workshops to boost our income and we have also provided lunches and afternoon teas for external visiting groups.
We are grateful to Staying Well for the lunch club funding we have received in the year allowing us to keep the cost to customers reasonable and contribute to the running costs.
We continue to hold Bingo sessions and a Quiz after lunch on Friday which are popular with our elder customers. We have held some lunchtime music concert sessions which are also popular.
We have added a Friday evening Bingo session to our weekly programme that allows us to be accessible to members of the community that work in the week .With a café /tuckshop provision these sessions are proving popular to locals and we have over 30 regular attendees.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
**Exercise** - We continue to provide a wide range of classes to benefit the community at low costs or even incentives for attendance such as armchair exercise, a HIIT class and Zumba ( these classes are subsidised by the charity).
Curious Motion continue to run a weekly dance and reflection session . We also have a regular Mindfulness and Relaxation class which has been subsidised by Staying Well and Rastrick Big Local. These two organisations have also subsidised two 6 week terms of Complimentary Therapy sessions.
A new Alzheimer's/Dementia group use the centre once a month offering support for carers of patients.
**Activities** - Our community singing group goes from strength to strength and has performed several concerts for our customers. Our youth group designed and delivered another Community Fun day in September which was a great success .
Our needlecraft group continue to meet and we now have a regular stitch weekend group meeting once a month with around 30 attendees. Several staff, volunteers and customers took part in a project as part of the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival making felted wool balls and willow spheres to display as part of the art trail.
The Monday night Youth Club run by Newground Together under contract from CMBC continued this year with a regular attendance of around twenty 13-18 year olds.
Unfortunately the Junior Youth Club for 7 -11 year olds has reduced funding this year but are using the facilities rent free to allow their valuable activities to continue.
Two churches continue to use the centre at the weekend, one of them attracts a congregation of over 100 whilst their premises are being renovated.
The centre has been used by various groups for neighbourhood consultation regarding developing the surrounding local parks and green spaces and by a new housing developer in the area.
**Volunteers** - we continue to cultivate the valuable contribution that our volunteers make to the running of the centre, we average between 60 and 80 hours a week of ‘donated’ time which equates to 140% more than paid staff hours. We would not be able to offer the range of activities that we do without these volunteers . Following our award of funding from the National Lottery in July we have appointed a paid volunteer co-ordinator to develop and a volunteer package to ensure we retain existing volunteers and enable us to recruit additional heads , this includes a training package to offer our volunteers development activities .
Looking forward to the year ahead the National Lottery Funding we have received post year end (for the next 3 years) will allow us to recruit a Community Engagement worker and the Volunteer Coordinator. We will also be offering a catering apprenticeship to compliment our kitchen team. We have also been awarded a grant to fund solar panels and panels this Autumn from Rastrick Big Local which will dramatically reduce our energy bills and reduce our carbon footprint.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £27,613, including net expenditure of £34,177 on unrestricted funds and net income of £6,564 on restricted funds after transfers.
Whilst we have run at a operating deficit for the year, which has reduced our reserves and therefore taken them a little below our lower target level, the funding from the National Lottery for the next 3 years of £25,000 per annum to support our operational deficit gives us confidence in our projections that we are financially sustainable for at least the next 3 years .

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £24,949.
Reserves Policy: In order to ensure sufficient funds to:
1. Manage any shortfall in our income streams to cover regular costs
2. Give confidence to funders of good stewardship and financial control
3. To support our staff through a period of financial instability or to cover redundancy payments
The Group will maintain a level of unrestricted funds as our Reserves fund.
Our aim is that our Reserves fund should grow to reach a level of between 3 to 6 months of costs .
Approved by the board of trustees on 19/11/2024

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Space@Field Lane Group
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **Reason for remuneration**
The trustees were employed over the summer months in the role of cleaning and key holding.
## **Legal authority for the payment**
The two trustees joined the board in and shortly after were engaged in the above roles. However, the charity's constitution does not permit the employment of trustees. As soon as the board became aware of this they have resolved to regularise the position and the situation had arisen through a genuine oversight.
## **Remuneration and benefits received by key management personnel**
The total employee benefits received by key management personnel were £20,081 (previous year: £18,212).

## The Space@Field Lane Group
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To promote the benefit and enable the residents of field lane and the wider community of Rastrick and the local authority, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance learning, 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 residents in the area and in furthering these charitable purposes the trustees will:
Encourage community members to participate in a wide range of activities for their benefit, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions;
Help community members to participate in the life of the centre, to express their views and play an active part in the planning and management of the centre and their own activities creating a sense of community ownership.
## **The charity's main activities**
Our charity runs and maintains a community hub at the centre of an estate of social housing in a deprived area of West Yorkshire. Following a major refurbishment of the building and the difficulties of two years of lockdowns, we are now running activities for the local community to help stay off loneliness and isolation, to promote community cohesion and to provide opportunities for volunteering and training.
We have run exercise classes, an art group, a needlecraft group, a youth club, a successful community lunch every Friday with quiz and bingo. We have also run seasonal events: Halloween family party, Christmas party and Christmas Fayre and an Easter Fayre.
We run a community café which is open two days per week and which provides low cost food. We have lots of regular customers.
## **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 the advancement of learning and education and to provide facilities, in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving well-being.
## **Achievements and performance**
Now entering our fifth year since opening the centre is going from strength to strength offering a wider range of activities.
**Café** - our Wednesday café and our Friday lunch club continue to grow in success with more attendees, we serve food to over 70 different people over the 2 sessions. By using our allocation of food donated from Tesco we are able to keep food costs to a minimum and distribute some surplus food to the community via the centre and Field Lane School. We are grateful to Lidl who are donating us their surplus bakery products one day a week to distribute to the community , any donations for these are split between the centre and a local charity, My Mito Mission.
Through recruitment of volunteers we have extended our capacity to provide on site catering for meetings, training and workshops to boost our income and we have also provided lunches and afternoon teas for external visiting groups.
We are grateful to Staying Well for the lunch club funding we have received in the year allowing us to keep the cost to customers reasonable and contribute to the running costs.
We continue to hold Bingo sessions and a Quiz after lunch on Friday which are popular with our elder customers. We have held some lunchtime music concert sessions which are also popular.
We have added a Friday evening Bingo session to our weekly programme that allows us to be accessible to members of the community that work in the week .With a café /tuckshop provision these sessions are proving popular to locals and we have over 30 regular attendees.

## The Space@Field Lane Group
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
**Exercise** - We continue to provide a wide range of classes to benefit the community at low costs or even incentives for attendance such as armchair exercise, a HIIT class and Zumba ( these classes are subsidised by the charity).
Curious Motion continue to run a weekly dance and reflection session . We also have a regular Mindfulness and Relaxation class which has been subsidised by Staying Well and Rastrick Big Local. These two organisations have also subsidised two 6 week terms of Complimentary Therapy sessions.
A new Alzheimer's/Dementia group use the centre once a month offering support for carers of patients.
**Activities** - Our community singing group goes from strength to strength and has performed several concerts for our customers. Our youth group designed and delivered another Community Fun day in September which was a great success .
Our needlecraft group continue to meet and we now have a regular stitch weekend group meeting once a month with around 30 attendees. Several staff, volunteers and customers took part in a project as part of the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival making felted wool balls and willow spheres to display as part of the art trail.
The Monday night Youth Club run by Newground Together under contract from CMBC continued this year with a regular attendance of around twenty 13-18 year olds.
Unfortunately the Junior Youth Club for 7 -11 year olds has reduced funding this year but are using the facilities rent free to allow their valuable activities to continue.
Two churches continue to use the centre at the weekend, one of them attracts a congregation of over 100 whilst their premises are being renovated.
The centre has been used by various groups for neighbourhood consultation regarding developing the surrounding local parks and green spaces and by a new housing developer in the area.
**Volunteers** - we continue to cultivate the valuable contribution that our volunteers make to the running of the centre, we average between 60 and 80 hours a week of ‘donated’ time which equates to 140% more than paid staff hours. We would not be able to offer the range of activities that we do without these volunteers . Following our award of funding from the National Lottery in July we have appointed a paid volunteer co-ordinator to develop and a volunteer package to ensure we retain existing volunteers and enable us to recruit additional heads , this includes a training package to offer our volunteers development activities .
Looking forward to the year ahead the National Lottery Funding we have received post year end (for the next 3 years) will allow us to recruit a Community Engagement worker and the Volunteer Coordinator. We will also be offering a catering apprenticeship to compliment our kitchen team. We have also been awarded a grant to fund solar panels and panels this Autumn from Rastrick Big Local which will dramatically reduce our energy bills and reduce our carbon footprint.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £27,613, including net expenditure of £34,177 on unrestricted funds and net income of £6,564 on restricted funds after transfers.
Whilst we have run at a operating deficit for the year, which has reduced our reserves and therefore taken them a little below our lower target level, the funding from the National Lottery for the next 3 years of £25,000 per annum to support our operational deficit gives us confidence in our projections that we are financially sustainable for at least the next 3 years .

## The Space@Field Lane Group
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £24,949.
Reserves Policy: In order to ensure sufficient funds to:
1. Manage any shortfall in our income streams to cover regular costs
2. Give confidence to funders of good stewardship and financial control
3. To support our staff through a period of financial instability or to cover redundancy payments
The Group will maintain a level of unrestricted funds as our Reserves fund.
Our aim is that our Reserves fund should grow to reach a level of between 3 to 6 months of costs .
Approved by the board of trustees on 19/11/2024

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Space@Field Lane Group
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## The Space@Field Lane Group
## 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.
## **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 £5,000 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:
Freehold land: nil
Leasehold improvements: over 20 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.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

## **Reason for remuneration**
The trustees were employed over the summer months in the role of cleaning and key holding.
## **Legal authority for the payment**
The two trustees joined the board in and shortly after were engaged in the above roles. However, the charity's constitution does not permit the employment of trustees. As soon as the board became aware of this they have resolved to regularise the position and the situation had arisen through a genuine oversight.
## **Remuneration and benefits received by key management personnel**
The total employee benefits received by key management personnel were £20,081 (previous year: £18,212).

## The Space@Field Lane Group
## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Space@Field Lane Group
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
