## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

To advance in life, relieve and help children and young people of Holme Wood and surrounding areas of Bradford through: 

(a) The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life; 

(b) Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

To provide and support in the provision of facilities and activities in the interests of social welfare for recreation, education or other leisure time occupation of individuals or groups who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, disability or social circumstances, with the object of improving their social and emotional development, physical and mental health, educational attainment and community involvement and therefore contributing significantly in decreasing anti-social behaviour. 

## **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: 

(a) an enhanced quality of life and sense of well-being through engagement with and participation in activities and events that bring people together, leading to improvements in physical and emotional well-being, quality of life and a more stable and cohesive community; 

(b) increased opportunities to engage in new activities that bring people together, leading to greater social cohesion and fulfilment; 

(c) enhanced active citizenship and involvement in community life. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **April 2024 – March 2025 in a Nutshell** 

The Valley Project is fast approaching its 7[th] Birthday and has become part of the furniture in Holme Wood. We have a constant stream of children signing up as soon as they reach 7 and most will spend their childhood with us.  It is impossible to describe everything that happens at The Valley Project, it is a hive of activity and development.  Along with the myriad of opportunities for the children and young people to engage with, we strive to continually bring new experiences to the children. These have included, rap producers, brass street bands, artists, dancers, animals, poetry (reindeers at Christmas!) all very interactive. 

The children have expressed a desire to be able to fix their bikes a skill that is not being passed on anymore. We have held taster sessions with bike mechanics and bought some tools and accessories and over the summer we will be running further maintenance courses. We hope this will lead to Dr Bike sessions in the future where the kids fix bikes on the estate for a small fee. 

The Valley Project have attended more safeguarding meetings as the importance of The Valley Project in the children’s lives has become more recognised. We still lack a clear line of communication and our knowledge of the children’s lives can sometimes be patchy due to this. We continue to strive towards more open partnership working with the local authority and Children’s Trust.  Again, Bradford faces continued cuts in social care and those services that provide for those most in need across the district. The cuts will dramatically affect many of the families we work with but also drag more families who are on the financial threshold into further difficulty. However, we feel our network of partners and signposting opportunities is more robust than ever and we will be able help in direct, positive ways.

## The Valley Project 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

This year we have seen an increase in children with neurodiversity and or learning disabilities attending sessions. At times they need additional help and support. Increasing our staffing levels allows us to support them on a one-to-one basis if and when they need it, enabling us to better meet their needs.   Our regular children are very understanding, kind and caring which is lovely to see and parents have expressed how inclusive and welcoming the sessions are.   We strive to be as inclusive as possible and as part of our staff team’s continuous professional development we encourage them to increase their knowledge and skills in this area, leading to better outcomes for all the children in “The Valley Family”. 

It became apparent that our Tots sessions for parents, carers and under 5’s was dependant on the weather and seasons. A decision was made to suspend the sessions in October with a view to relaunching after Easter for the remainder of the summer. During the warmer months attendances would reach 12 children a session, with 47 different children and 40 parents attending over the year. 

## **Direct Delivery** 

The Valley Project reviewed our registers in Easter 2024, since this date 555 different children have attended sessions with a footfall of over 15,000 this last year.  Children from over 25 Bradford Schools attend The Valley Project offering a unique opportunity for children and young people to mix where opportunities would otherwise be limited.  Sessions regularly reach capacity which has led to a necessary increase in staffing levels to allow more children and young people to access The Valley.  The Valley Project recognises the need to increase staffing levels and the number of sessions we run to address the demand from the community. 

## **Staff Development** 

The Valley Project staff team have excelled over the past year. We have a very well-balanced team with skills that complement each other. The Valley Project Playworkers have proven to be positive role models, they support children and young people to integrate, breaking down barriers to inclusion & nurturing friendships. The positive relationships and trust that our staff have built up with our children means they feel comfortable having conversations around a wide range of topics. 

The Valley Project have also taken on our first apprentice a young man who used to attend The Valley sessions as a child, they are currently undertaking a Level 2 in Play work through Calderdale College. This has also led to two further members of staff taking up this training opportunity for the Level 2 course.  With a settled and dedicated team, it becomes easier to plan for the future.  As previously mentioned, we have increased our staff team and casual pool of staff to accommodate the growing user numbers. 

The Valley Project have also won a tender to employ 2 JU:MP connectors for an initial 3-month period to support delivery of activities across Holme Wood, strengthening local partnerships and consulting and shaping of possible capital investment. 

## **Social Welfare Support** 

The Valley Project sessional meals for all who attend have now become a staple for children and their families, we are now serving over 20,000 meals a year. 80% of the meals we cook use foods donated by InnChurches and without this vital support we would not be able to provide such an important programme.  Clothing, especially footwear and coats are supplied more regularly. However, food donations are now down as we have managed to signpost people to partner organisations who offer a bespoke service in this regard. 

## **Site Development** 

With children and young people growing up and moving on we have seen a large number of new children attend The Valley Project. These children are now starting their journey at The Valley and will develop their skills over the years so that they can mould and shape their environment together. 

Our young leaders have expanded our Secret Garden planting a swathe of flowering species that have attracted a myriad of insect life.  Work has also now begun on making more of our edible forest and growing area.

## The Valley Project 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

The Valley Project added to our family with 6 rabbits in the luxurious Rabbit Palace created by the kids. These have definitely had the effect we expected as they are cared for and loved and have the miraculous ability to improve most children’s days. 

The new kitchen container has improved our ability to create larger more varied meals and keep on top of stock more efficiently. 

Developments for the coming year include, new tube slides and an extension of the skywalk. 

The Valley Project have recently undergone our biannual playground inspection again without any concern raised. The inspector complemented the children and young people on the quality of their constructions, commenting “It contains exemplary self-build which has obviously been completed by children and equally obviously has had knowledgeable adult support in doing so.” (Simon Rix – Playground Inspector). 

## **Volunteers and Donations** 

The Valley Project has been a magnet for young people to gain valuable work experience. Working in partnership with The King’s Trust and local high schools we have increased these opportunities and will continue to do so. 

Business volunteer days continue throughout the year, these days are very productive and help develop and maintain the site taking pressure off of the staff team. The contacts made during these days with businesses has more often than not led to further donations of foodstuffs, materials and funding. 

A new intake of Young Leaders has occurred to bolster our existing cohort. The project will provide each young person with a portfolio of work completed, skills learnt and strengths with the aim of adding depth to a prospective college or work application.  This project focuses on the young people’s futures by using vehicles such as social enterprise schemes and ways to shape community delivery and development.  The young people are currently heavily involved in advising on getting children more active across the area through the JU:MP project. They are also driving forward our City of Culture projects for the year. 

## **Achievements** 

Our work over the past couple of years behind the scenes is now coming to the fore. The Valley Project have been included as a positive case study in a draft national report for the government around the importance of play, written by the Raising the Nation Play Commission.  This report has also led to a visit from Paul Lindley OBE, the play commissioner for England, to experience the Valley Project first hand.  This exposure has opened further conversations with decision makers and those with influence that can only benefit the project in the long run. 

The Valley Project successfully tendered for a 3-month contract to employ two further members of staff to deliver a 3[rd] party project around increasing physical activity in children and young people in Holme Wood. The tender was in partnership with 2 other local organisations and it has already started to address some of the issues faced. 

## **Challenges** 

Further Local Authority cuts to social care continue to affect the residents of Bradford.  Referrals to CAHMS services remain elusive and waiting lists very long.  We have noted through observations and conversations with children, parents and teachers that more children are really struggling as they wait without intervention or help. 

Food bank funding has been cut this past month and this has already had an effect almost doubling the cost of our food bank membership and reducing the amount and variety of food we receive, having to replace this with purchased foodstuffs.  As with everything costs are increasing across the board, this inevitably puts a strain on funds.

## The Valley Project 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Going Forward** 

Over the coming year The Valley Project will look to further address some of the issues around capacity. We acknowledge that sessions need to increase in line with demand, this will mean securing more stable long-term funding to cover staff costs.  Hand in hand with capacity comes space and tentative enquiries have been made about a further community asset transfer of some adjacent and abused land that would not only benefit the projects future expansion but solve a long-standing environmental issue that the local authority refuse to address. 

With a settled, experienced team we feel this would be the right time to make more use of the sight during the day.  Free taster sessions will be offered to local primary schools with the hope that these will continue on a paid for basis.  Early conversations are being held around an alternative education provision at The Valley Project to tackle the increasing number of children and young people not attending school regularly or struggling in that environment.  Also having delivered a successful short-term tender for the JU:MP project we hope to be able to extend this so that we can further contribute to its programme and sustainability. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £10,743, including net expenditure of £24,953 on unrestricted funds and net income of £35,696 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £29,882. 

The Valley Project aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. 

Reserves can be spent to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. 

The reserves policy needs to be reviewed annually to secure The Valley Project’s long-term financial sustainability. 

As of 31st March 2025, The Valley Project’s unrestricted reserves are are considerably below the range of our policy to cover 3 months delivery costs (£45,000 - £60,000).  The trustees will continue to increase our reserves with planned fundraising events, corporate donations and site rentals.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Valley Project 

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 8 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** 

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 ACIE 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.
