## **Westwood 2015 Annual Report** 

Westwood was established in 2015 and registered as a charity in 2018. 

Through our various activities we seek to promote social inclusion in our local community and other communities of interest or circumstance by developing inclusive projects and providing something for all. 

Our most recent annual income was for the year ending 31[st] March 2024 was £63,654 

We are Volunteer-led and make volunteer opportunities available. 

We have 3 Trustees: 

- **Norman Perrin** was founder and former CEO of Paces Sheffield a charity for children and adults with cerebral palsy and their families. 

- **Neil Morris** was a former director of Westwood Training, a former social enterprise and Registered Training Provider with the Department for Education & Skills. 

- **David Fairbanks** currently manages IT Support, based at the Campus. 

During the last 12 months our work focus themes have been attempting to reduce social isolation for individuals and anti-poverty working with socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and families. 

During this period, we have engaged with just over 500 different beneficiaries, in activities ranging from family learning activities, creative craft sessions, heritage film shows, walk and talk historical events, cook and eat, both online and gathered. 

In February and March of 2024, we launched our own new training programme to develop Community Activity Leaders, where we showed individuals how to plan, prepare and present a community activity or event. 

In April we launched an exciting new initiative called “Stages and Ages”, an intergenerational playground, in which young children and their carers go into a residential care setting for seniors, the two client groups working and playing together, which breaks down barriers of social isolation and loneliness. 

Another new venture, “Live Well, Stay Well”, was started.  This is a creative well-being initiative for socially and economically isolated adults over 55 years of age in our locality, by running a series of fortnightly gathered free creative activity sessions. 

Towards the end of the year, we were approached by a local volunteer who wished to set up a Bereavement Support Group which is now meeting weekly. 

During the next 6 months we are looking at developing further initiatives including social enterprises and to continue to focus on working with older people, families and individuals, using creative activities, heritage and history; the outdoors and for well-being. 



We have no full-time meeting or office space and use our valuable volunteers and specialist sessional facilitators to deliver any projects that we are able to source funding for. We hold a monthly team gathering of activity leaders.

## 10 **Trustee remuneration and expenses** 

One or more of the trustees has been paid expenses in the current or prior periods. 

**2024 2023 Number Number** Number of trustees paid expenses 3 3 The nature of the reimbursed expenses The majority of the expenses during the year were paid for by the trustees personally which is the reason why the reimbursed expenses look disproportionate to overall costs. Controls within the charity mean all bank payments, including reimbursements, require two signatories. Since the year end the charity's bankers have issued a debit card which will mean expenses paid to Trustees will significantly reduce in future years.

**Westwood 2015 Limited Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Westwood 2015 Limited** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Westwood 2015 Limited for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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 financial statements to be reached.
