Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To further or benefit the residents of the Sutton Estate, Bradford and the neighbourhood, 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.
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.
The charity's main activities
Our aims and objectives are to improve health, increase wealth and build a sense of community.
We are a community centre for local residents providing a wide range of activities and services each day of the week which include Parent & Toddler groups, Food Pantry, Employment Support, Youth Activities, Tong Wellbeing Hub and general community activities and support. We try to provide something for everyone and hope that through accessing our services members of the community will improve their health and wellbeing, build friendships, develop new skills and find a listening ear.
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 prevention or relief of poverty, the advancement of education and the advancement of health or the saving of lives.
Achievements and performance
This year as an organisation we have continued our home projects, wellbeing hub and physical activity programmes across the community.
The Tong Wellbeing Hub has delivered some fantastic results across the Tong ward area for local residents with provision extending to run from multiple venues as well as from our main building. The services within the building 5 days a week range from welfare advice, domestic abuse support, mental and physical health support groups, mens’ mental health support as well as health MOT’s and health advice available. We are grateful to the VCS Alliance and West Yorkshire ICB for their continued support and commitment to the Wellbeing Network for the next 3 years.
The Holme centre has continued to deliver adult training 5 days a week for local residents in partnership with Realise Training as well as providing youth work in an evening 5 days a week in partnership with Emerge.
Raising funds for the centre continued with our hirers remaining from previous years, as well as hosting local elections, NHS training, Bradford Council family support services and afternoon teas, fitness classes and activities for the local community.
Our centre’s activity timetable, incorporating all sessions run both internally and by partner organisations, offers holistic provision to the local community with activities appropriate for people aged 0 to 100.
Our footfall in the centre has been consistent with over 25,000 visits over the year with residents accessing our building for all activities.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £26,798, including net expenditure of £9,426 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £17,372 on restricted funds, after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £92,115.
The Trustees have reviewed the charity’s need for reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. They consider it prudent that free reserves of 3 to 6 months of running costs are retained to enable the smooth running of the charity and to enable an orderly winding up should the charity need to close. Based on budgeted 2025/2026 expenditure this equates to a reserves target of between £117,500 and £236,900.
Approved by the board of trustees on 17/12/2025

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kyffin Place Community
Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.
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
Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

Notes to the accounts
Kyffin Place Community Centre
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.
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 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: Equipment, fixtures & fittings: over 4 years Solar panels: over 5 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.
