Objectives and activities (Continued)
The charity's main activities
Burmantofts Senior Action CIO (BSA) mission is to improve the lives of older age people (60+) in and around the area of LS9 East Leeds. BSA helps older people to live independently in their own home, find alternative appropriate accommodation, reduce social isolation and loneliness through social groups, events, and trips, promote healthy life choices, and assist with individual support. BSA works in partnership with health, social and charitable organisations in the local area and city wide. We celebrate the individual, what they have achieved in life and what they still want to achieve now; aiming to support participants to be valued members of the local community.
BSA aims to:
Relieve social isolation and loneliness. Identify gaps in provisions for support. Reduce the burden on NHS services. Support older people to live independently. Promote social inclusion for all communities.
Try to improve the environment where older people live.
Be an open and friendly place for local people to drop in.
Work with partner organisations who bring additional resources to our area. Be a force for good, championing the wishes and needs of older age people.
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.
Achievements and performance
BSA CIO was not immune to the challenges 2021 brought and much of the year was spent dealing with COVID response and supporting venerable local older people and during lockdown. BSA put into place support and contact for the most vulnerable members of the community with wellbeing telephone calls, socially distanced doorstep visits, food, and medicine deliveries.
This contact has continued when lockdown eased, and support put in place to assist people back out into the community with supported trips for shopping, assistance with banking/bills, and visits to the local area. BSA has introduced several new and innovative support sessions with a focus on digital exclusion and healthy living, to better support local residents. These include one-to-one support sessions on digital tech, a new lunch club and line dancing exercise session.
BSA held regular celebration events where members could mix with others in a relaxed environment and receive direct support from partner organisations from across the city.
Towards the end of the year Trustees of BSA were pleased to recruit a new Project Manager with experience of working within a Neighbourhood Network charity. This new Project Manager has agreed a transformation plan with the Board of Trustees to further increase the services and support opportunities BSA offer to the over 60 residents in LS9, East Leeds.

Financial review
The net income for the year was £19,648, including net income of £1,231 on unrestricted funds and net income of £18,417 on restricted funds after transfers.
In the previous year the net income for the year was £23,228, including net expenditure of £1,006 on unrestricted funds and net income of £24,234 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £22,882.
Once a year the Trustees of BSA consider the level of reserves that it is prudent for the organisation to hold. Consideration is given to redundancy liabilities, lease agreements and any other significant factors that should be taken into account if the organisation were to close. This is currently set to 3 months of operating costs, equating to £30k.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Burmantofts Senior Action CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 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.
