## **CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
Hello, and welcome to the latest annual report from our charity. Delivery this year has been focused on maintaining and increasing delivery at the centre (following COVID) and securing additional engagement with our schools against the backdrop of day-to-day increases in our running costs. The impact on our charity of the increases in food, fuel and other running costs cannot be underestimated and, following the cancelation of our wedding bookings, COVID, the charity finds itself in a position of review and reflection. The trustees have considered, as best they can, the impact of these challenges and taken what steps they think are needed in order that the charity can remain a going concern and manage itself effectively.
During the year we launched our school and community partner scheme. Over 20 partners attended the launch and from this a number of ideas for future work at the farm were discussed; one of these being the camping area. This is a long-term idea, and we will do all that we can to implement it – our wish is to allow access to the farm and its facilities to as many young people as possible and this will be one way that we can do this. Also, the idea of young people camping out under the stars and being surrounded by nature is very exciting for all of us.
So, and as the work of the charity develops, we continue to strive for the best that we can offer the young people of Leeds. We can only do this, of course, with the support of the team at the charity and, of course, my fellow trustees.
On behalf of the charity, thank you to the staff team, my fellow trustees and of course, all our supporters.
The charity’s on-going and developing relationships with local businesses is one of the key areas where the support provided is making a visible difference to the centre and the grounds. During the year, the number of CSR groups visiting the centre increased, and we were able to offer meaningful jobs for these to take part in. As a company, undertaking volunteer work at a charity can make a real difference to your team, how they relate to each other and how they perform. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss volunteering with us.
For now, however, I would like to say thank you to my fellow trustees and to the entire staff team of the charity for all their hard work.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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).
## **Objectives and activities**
The objects of the CIO are for public benefit to:
Provide facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for children and young people in the interest of social welfare, including by (but not limited to) providing a recreational centre at Lineham Farm, Eccup, Leeds; and provide residential respite and holiday opportunities for children and young people aged between 7 and 11 years old from challenging and/ or disadvantaged backgrounds, who live and attend school in Leeds.
The Trustees consider that these objectives, and the activities outlined in this report, provide benefit to those underprivileged children who use the CIO’s facilities by allowing them to have fun, make friends, and be a child away from dysfunctional families and responsibilities beyond their years.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Achievements and performance From the CEO**
Hello, as Ian has said, the difficulties we face (like others do) as a charity are not easy ones to deal with – in the main, they are a product of other people’s decisions and actions, and as such, out of our control.
For years and following the decision to sell the centre at Silverdale, and then the merger with Lineham Farm, the management of the charity has been impeccable and where needed, some very tough decisions have been made. This is why the charity is still delivering, this is why our supporters stay with us and help us deliver our very important work. The charity’s work is under constant review and tough decisions, where needed, will continue to be made.
Our partnership work continues to develop and the value of this shows in the number of schools who are returning to use the farm. I was told by one returning school that our aim to engage with the right young people, however difficult this was, was appreciated – it was work they wanted to be a part of.
The charity’s plans to fill the school holidays with delivery from young people from our most in need communities were successful with hundreds of young people visiting the centre, accessing our facilities, and being fed freshly prepared food from our own kitchen. In addition, we ran several cooking courses; based at a training kitchen in Farsley these days were focused on providing information about food preparation and the cooking of simple but nutritious food. We are still on track to deliver our work to 2,500, a target set for 2024. As things stand, I feel that we will, thanks to the great work of the entire team, reach this target by next year. The charity’s work is growing and doing so against what have been considerable odds.
We continue to receive positive feedback about our work, and we continue to strive to do all that we can to improve the facilities at the farm so that any young person who visits us has access to the very best that we can offer. Of course improvements at the centre have been made but the trustees have to plan for future years when upgrades to the centre and its facilities will be needed – these will include all new windows and doors; a new low ropes course; improvements to the play barn and the replacement of our mini bus and farm van.
The very best includes, of course, our staff team. They are brilliant and were it not for them, the pastoral, reflective and empathic support for the young people we work with and support, would not exist. Their delivery and the atmosphere created by them sets us apart from other centres and puts the young people we work with and support front and centre – which is absolutely where they should be.
Thank you for reading this report.
If after reading this report you feel that you can work with and support us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Dave Norman MBE – CEO Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Financial review**
At the year end the charitable group held a total funds of £3,236,317 (2022 £3,302,851). Out of this a total of £630,936 (2022 £1,246,645) was held as unrestricted funds, £2,600,373 (2022 £2,039,329) was designated by the Trustees for specific purposes and £114,696 (2022 £16,877) was restricted for specific purposes and building development projects. The charity is in a good financial position to start the 2023/24 financial year which will see the transfer of school bookings activity transferred over from Leeds City Council and ongoing financial challenges due to the cost-of-living crisis.
One of the main financial focuses during the year to was for the centre to be back to usual booking capacity as covid-19 restrictions lifted during the year. A key part of this was establishing wedding and private hire bookings following the pandemic. The Charity’s trading subsidiary which operates the weddings and private hire activity generated a profit of £37,461 (2022 £13,840) which was subsequently gift-aided back to the charity.
Donation and grant income remained an important part of the organisation income stream during the year. With schools’ activity income transferring over in the financial year 2022/23, donation and grant income has been required to sustain the operations and ongoing development of the centre.
It is the aim of the charity to ensure that it holds unrestricted cash reserves between 6 to 9 months of running costs are held at any one time so that the organisation is able to response to any unexpected circumstances or building needs.
For reserves which are held over this amount it is the charity’s intention to invest these funds in an appropriate manner to generate a return and of income on the investment. At the year end the charity held more reserves then was required. The trustees and management are actively outlining an investment policy and strategy for the 2023/ 24 financial year.
## **Use of volunteers**
The charity works with volunteers on a regular basis. Most of these are from companies that support what we do by upgrading the facilities in the woods – painting or clearing the bike tracks. These days take place throughout the year. All in all, the charity is lucky to have been supported by over 80 people from local companies, all determined to do what they can to make a difference. We are also lucky in that we have a small number of volunteers who visit the centre on a regular basis and support the long-term infrastructure management at the farm.
## **Funders and supporters**
The charity, like all other charities, would not exists if it were not for the help and support of its supporters. The charity raises funds by direct application to grant giving trusts and charities, but also receives donations from organisations that are local to Leeds with whom we have built up some very good and, in many cases, long-term and supportive relationships.
The Trustees and the staff team at the charity are most grateful for the support received. They understand the competition for charitable donations is very strong.
It is with great humility and gratitude that on behalf of the charity, this report acknowledges the support given.
## **Risk**
In assessing risk, the Trustees recognise that the work of the charity is key to their personal values and their assessment of where they can, as an organisation, make the most difference. There is no other organisation in Leeds that provides the service that the charity does. All risks are considered by the Trustees that will/might impact the short, medium, and long-term planning process. These plans are reviewed on a regular basis and amended accordingly to mitigate any identified risks.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Leeds Children's Charity at Lineham Farm (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the summary income and expenditure account, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **Other matters**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Leeds Children's Charity at Lineham Farm is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (No CE013188) registered in England and a registered Charity (No 1177062). Leeds Children's Charity at Lineham Farm is goverened by it's Foundation, registered office is Lineham Farm Childrens Centre, Blackhill Lane, Eccup, Leeds. LS16 8AZ.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
## **1.4 Income**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings Over the life of the lease Plant and equipment 4% and 10% straight line Fixtures and fittings 10% and 20% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

## **LEEDS CHILDREN'S CHARITY AT LINEHAM FARM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.10 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.11 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
