## MAPA Bradford
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To further or benefit the residents of inner city 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 occupations 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**
MAPA promotes opportunities that enrich and enhance the personal and social development of young people and the community. Using youth work and community arts principles at our core, we provide opportunities for groups to express themselves in a safe and dynamic environment. MAPA provides young people and the community the opportunity to empower themselves and each other through creative participation and our work aims to bring about change, encourage positive activity and develop positive voices of social action.
## **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 advancement of education as well as training and social development for young people and the local community.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Food Support Fund (HFS). April to March 2022**
This programme supported vulnerable households struggling with essential food items. Together with activities that engaged young people during holiday periods. 55 households (average 5 people per household) received food parcels (4 bags) full of healthy fresh food, together with essential food items i.e. sugar, bread etc. The equivalent food parcels fed 1,250 individual during the programme. It also provided 25 hours of fun activities (included a meal) benefiting 150 people.
## **Leeds Community Foundation – Youth Provision support.**
This fund enabled us to re-open our youth provision one evening per week for the next two years August 2021 to August 2023 . It has been so successful that we managed to sign an agreement with Bradford Youth Service to work in partnership with this programme. They supplied qualified staffing and resources – our record of attendance shows we had on average 31 young people attending
**PHAB ( Bradford) Disability project** (October 21 to March 22) As part of MAPA's partnership commitment to this organisation, it was decided to provide free access to services during the year. The attendance on average was 30+ young people.
**Renovation of the Building** – (City Challenge/George Martin Trust) – Funding from these funders enabled us to renovate a small office space into an Arts and Media Room.
**People’s Day August 2021** (Cultural Music Festival) This year we provided the biggest and most attended event in the history of MAPA’s Peoples' Days. A staggering 2,000+ people attended this event that provided a platform for New Music artists, up and coming DJs alongside stalls, food, arts and play workshops.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **Financial review**
The net receipts for the year was £125,400, including net receipts of £113,436 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £11,964 on restricted funds after transfers.
This year's accounts incorporate the transfer of net assets from the former unicorporated charity MAPA Bradford (registered number 508810). This is shown in the Receipts and Payments accounts concerning the transfer of bank and cash assets totalling £101,700 as at 1 April 2021.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £112,886.
The trustees have determined that reserves should be held to enable the CIO to both continue operations should income reduce and have funds available to meet any closure costs and building related maintenance costs. Based on 2021/2022 costs the trustees have assessed that this would equate to a minumum of £28,000. The trustees recognise actual reserves exceed the target level but are aware of the need to invest in the centre's infrastructure and will be re-visiting the reserves policy once this spend has been incurred.
Approved by the board of trustees on 25/1/2023

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of MAPA Bradford
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **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.
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.
