Review of activities and achievements
Over the past year, we have worked tirelessly across the organisalion, united by a shared goal.. lo make life
in Abbey better for everyone who calls il home. From grassroots inib'abves to strategic pilot programmes, our
work has reached deep into the heart ofthe community.
We would like lo extend our heartfelt thanks lo all our donors, corporate supporters, grant funders, and
haritable trusts. Your gener051ty and belpf in our mission have been vital to everything we've achieved this
year. Whether through financial contributions, in-kind support, volunteer time. or strategic partnership, your
commitment has helped us grow our impact and reach more people in Abbey. Together, we are building a
stronger, more connected. and more hopeful community. Thank you ft)r being a part of this journey.
This year pilot projects have laid the foundation for long-lenm, sustsinable Chang￿mpOwer1ng residents
with new skills, increased confidence. and fresh opportunib"es. The Abbey Works Pilot Programme. funded
by Public Health through Cambridge City Council, supported residents to tske steps towards employment.
Meanwhile, the Parent Power Pilot, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund Ivia Cambridge City Council)
and Cambridge Ahead, and delivered in partnership with The Brilliant Club. helped parents and young
people begin to explore pathways Into further and higher education.
Through our Shaping Abb8y work. we continued to listen closely to local voices-ensuring our services
reflect the needs, hopes, and aspiralions of the community.
Thanks lo support from the UK Shared Prosperity Fundlvia Cambridge City Council), we also enhanced our
Food Hub offer by developing a new membership model. This has improved access lo affordable, nutritious
food in a way that is more Inclusive and sustainable. The Food Hub has remained open three limes a week
and has served as a vital lifeline for many residents. In 202>2027, we will be working lo secure a
permanent home for this vital service.
Our environmental work continues to thrive. Projects like the 88mwell Verge Project, which saw the creation
of a 250-melre garden. and our regular Climate Cafés. Repair Cafés, and green space programmes have
brought people together lo care for our local environment This work has been made possible through the
support of The National Lottery Climate Actson Fund, Cambridgeshire Fund for Nature, Hubbub, and the
Cambridgeshire Priorib'es Capital Fund.
We have continued to invest in young people and families, providing safe, supportwe spaces in which they
can grow and thrive. Our partnership with Kings Hedges Family Support Project has now entered Ils third
year, delivering meaningful support lo families across Abbey. Our youth work, delivered in collaboration with
Cambridgo Acom Project, Christ the Redeemer Church. Romsey Mill, and Cambndge United Foundation,
has made 8 strong and positive imp8Ct throughout the year.
At the heart of our work is the belief that strong communities grow from welcoming, inclusive spaces where
people can connect, share. and belong. Over the past year. we've continued to deliver vibrant community
spaces at The Hub and East Bamwell Community Cenlrwlaces where friendships are formed, ideas are
shared, and SUPFX)rt Is always close at hand. From our regular coffee mornings to larger gatherings like The
Big Lunch, these spaces have hosted a wde range of events and activities that bring people together across
generations and backgrounds Whether it's dropping in for a warm drink and a chat or joining a community
celebration, these moments of connection help to reduce isolation and strengthen the fabric of community
life in Abbey.
In 2024-2025 alone, we recorded over 10,000 interactions with the local community, reaching more than 700
individuals. This work would not have been possible wthout the dedicabon of our volunteers, who
contributed over 3,000 hours to strengthening and connecting our neighbourhood.

Financial review
As noted above, we had two significant pilot projects, as well as the Shared Prosperity Fund projects which
were time limited and not likely lo recur. Alongside this, there was a varied income supporting the delivery of
our strategy. The accounts reflect the welcome increasing ongoing income and activity. We particularly
welcome support from our corporate partners Railpen. Ninja Theory and Marshall Foundation, and thank the
National Lottery, and more specifically National Lottery Players, for their support of our tsvo funded projects,
Abbey Together and River Cam CAN.
The Trustees review our reserves polw regulady, and as the chanty has grown, have reviewed lo ensure
target reserves meet the need of the Charity now and in the future. In reaching our largel reserves amount of
approximately £189.000, the Trustees have reviewed projected Ihree-monlh's turnover for the next year, as
well as projected winding up costs. At 31 st March 2025 the "free reserves" were £151,19812024 £113,153).
Our continued growth makes the target quite stretching. However we have had more fundraising SUC￿SS
since the year-end, and can begin to look forward lo 202512026 and beyond with increasing confidence.
Specifically, we'd like lo thank Cambridge City Council for their increased support of our hvo projects in
202412025, the Abbey Heath and Employment Fund and the Focus on Abbey project.
The reserves at the year-end separate the designated Community Centre and fixed asset funds of £90,976
12024 £92,135) from the free reserves" Al the year*nd the charity also had forward funding balances in the
restricted fund of £101,627 12024 £58.5711. In additson four unreslricled funders paid us some 2025126
funding in advance, which accounts for the income in advance in note 11.

This report is made Solely to the Trustees. as a body. in accordance with regulations made under section
154 of the Charities Act 2011 My work has ￿en undertaken so that I might stsle lo the Trustees mallers I
am required lo stsle to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees for my
independent examination work. for this report or for the statement I have given below.
Responsibilities and basis of rgport
As the eharty's Iruslees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the
requirements of the Charities Act 20111.lhe Act'l.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in
carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 14515llbl of the Act
Independent examlner's statement
The charity's gross income exceeded £250,CK(i and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being
qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
I have completed my examination. I confimi that no Matters have come to my attention in connection with
the examination, other than as disclosed telow, giving me cause lo believe that in any material respect..
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as requi￿0 by section 130 of the A￿., or
the accounts do not accord with those records., OT
the accounts do not comply wlh the applicable requirements conceming the form and content of
accounts set out in the Charities IAc¢ounls and Reports) Regulation5 2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a 'true and fairf view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent
examination.
However
The charity'5 income exceeded £500,CH)O. so the charity is longer classed as a smaller charity, which
means that on the SOFA, income and expenditure should be classified by activity. The charity has continued
lo use the "natural" classif1calion of Income and expenditure, as explained ty paragraph 4.23 of the SORP,
available for smaller charities.
I have no con¢erns and have come across no olher matters in connection with the examination lo which
