Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
Achievements and performance continued
We are deeply grateful to our supporters, whose generosity has enabled us to meet the increasingly complex needs of our local community over the past financial year.
Our Impact
Over the year, we worked with 124 older people and vulnerable adults , and 320 children and young people accessed our programmes, an increase from the previous year. Additional beneficiaries were supported through community events, work in schools, and our thriving community café.
To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre (hereinafter called 'the centre') and to maintain and manage the same (whether alone or in co-operation with any local authority or person or body) in furtherance of these objects.
We are also incredibly thankful to our 51 dedicated volunteers , whose time, passion, and commitment have been vital in helping us deliver our work throughout the year.
Measuring Our Impact
Our ‘Smile, Share and Surprise’ Impact Evaluation Questionnaires were completed by 90 beneficiaries. The results clearly demonstrate the difference our programmes make:
-
l 95% reported feeling happier, having a sense of belonging, making friends, and being more engaged in their community.
-
l 94% said they feel safer and more connected to others.
-
l 93% noted increased physical activity and greater confidence.
Our Centres and Programmes
The Vine Community Centre (thevinecentre.co.uk) continued to open six days a week , serving as the heart of many of our activities. It hosted our community café, mini-market, exercise classes, older people’s day centre, men’s and social groups, and a variety of community events.
Primetime Bradford (primetimebradford.com/about-us) supported children and young people through:
-
l Daily after-school sessions for primary and secondary aged students
-
l Family breakfast clubs each morning
-
l Detached youth work in schools and on local streets
-

As a registered ASDAN Training Centre, we proudly franchise the ‘Leading in a Community Setting’ accreditation, enabling young leaders to gain valuable qualifications and experience.
Collaboration and Community
We believe collaboration strengthens communities. Throughout the year, we worked closely with partner organisations to share resources, expertise, and support. These partnerships helped to ensure our services remained holistic, inclusive, and impactful across the wider community.
Building and Sustainability Improvements
This year, we completed a major phase of refurbishment at the Vine Centre, which included:
-
l Installation of 83 solar panels, underfloor heating, and an air-source heat pump.
-
l Partial rewiring and fire alarm system upgrades.
-
l Plastering and redecoration of our café area.
-
l
-
Remodelling to improve the space’s accessibility and usability.
These improvements not only lower our carbon footprint and enhance the experience of everyone who uses the centre, but also ensure our building’s long-term sustainability.

Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £16,657, including net expenditure of £109 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £16,548 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The trustees will aim to hold free reserves of around 3 to 6 months total expenditure in order to enable the smooth running of the charity and also to allow for an orderly winding up if that situation arose. Based on budgeted expenditure of £298k, this would equate to a lower limit of £75k and an upper limit of £149k.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £68,874.
Approved by the board of trustees on 3/10/2025

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Primetime at the Vine
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 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.
