## Number 11 Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2025.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation formed on the 25 July 2019, the charity previously operated as a restricted fund of Burslem Methodist Mission (Swan Bank) – charity number 1141130 – this report refers to operations undertaken in the period prior to incorporating as they are relevant for understanding the activities of the charity.
## Objectives and activities
As per our governing document our charitable objectives are:
- The prevention and relief of poverty
- To provide long-term, holistic and relationship-based support to those in need within the community of Burslem and Stoke-on-Trent.
- To offer nutritious meals to those in need in the community.
- To offer a ‘Re-Build’ Programme, working alongside clients in order to support self-sustainability, and tackle the sources of their issues, as well as providing crisis support, where required. Number 11 does not want to simply place a plaster over the problem, but instead aims to identify and remove the root causes of problems, support clients to a place of hope, self-dependency and restoration.
- To provide activities which build community, tackle isolation and support the development of self-esteem and healthy relationships.
- To support clients with re-skilling opportunities, equipping and supporting them into employment, and therefore increasing self-dependency and sustainability.
- To provide opportunities for individuals within the community to gain experience in volunteering and employment.
- To provide a family-like environment, where those struggling with isolation or loneliness feel included, loved and welcomed.
- To support other community groups within the local area.
During our seventh year of activities (to 31[st] March 2025) we have undertaken a variety of work to meet the above objectives. Our support is focused across six main areas:
## 1) Crisis Support
We believe in seeing the relief of poverty by supporting individuals to make sustainable changes which lead them towards independence. We support clients through a wide variety of crisis situations in areas including but not limited to; benefits, debt, low income, accommodation and housing, budgeting, bereavement, abuse and trauma, isolation, selfesteem, confidence, registering with GP services, gaining ID, anxiety and depression and other general life skills.
Our goal is to support individuals from a place where they are stuck, to one where they can accept help, then to developing hope, to a place of learning and finally to one of full independence.
## 2) Re-Engage
At Number 11 we’re about relationships, not just services, and people, not just boxes. One of our objectives is to build community, tackle isolation and support the development of healthy relationships. As well as daily eating together, we

## Number 11
## Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025
run daily sessions and workshops, with everything from music, arts and crafts through to giant jenga and uno. We run weekly ‘check in and feelings ’sessions, alongside activities such as sports supported by Stoke City community foundation – and we hold quarterly client forum meetings which give our beneficiaries a chance to come together to shape the services we offer within this.
## 3) Re-Build
As per our objectives our Re-Build programme aims to address the root causes of a client’s issues and support selfsustainability. We have designed all our material across all our programmes to create our journey of change, supporting a client’s progress from being stuck, to accepting help, having hope, learning and reaching independence, these 5 steps now flow through all our centre activities. We have designed a new monitoring system wellbeing tool based on Gad9 and Gad7 questions adapted to our clients ’needs.
Our Re-Build activities have included offering 1:1 counselling, sessions we call ‘The life journey ’where together we look back and try and identify problems a client may have encountered which are now resulting in the issues that they are facing. We also run more structured workshops, such as our bespoke courses on self-esteem, bereavement, anger management or mental health to name a few.
## 4) What we do
We developed a brochure called “What we do” based on analysis of Stoke on Trent demographics, poverty report, and mental health reports. This identified who needs Number 11, then working with the client information we know to give us a complete picture of the deeper needs of our clients and how we can tailer the workshops, 1:1 session counselling and activities to best meet the needs.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
## 5) Know Your neighbourhood.
We started a pilot “Know your neighbourhood” project with funds from the DCMS, where the aims are to identify the reasons why people are isolated and lonely and the means to how Number 11 can help clients overcome this problem. The focus was to get the clients to engage with organisations locally and especially get into volunteering. We had a target of 25 beneficiaries and 15 of those to go into volunteering, we had 25 beneficiaries and 15 into volunteering, the project is due to end March 2025.
Relationships and ‘giving back ’to Number 11 remain the primary motivation for our members to begin/continue volunteering. We have countless stories of clients finding Number 11 to be the catalyst for building confidence, enabling recovery and building social connections which leads to clients journeying towards volunteering and employment opportunities.
## 6) Housing
In April 2021 Number 11 first launched its supported housing programme. This started by Initially housing 2 individuals in a fully furnished terraced house in Tunstall then quickly acquiring a second property accommodating two more members in Burslem. We wanted to provide high quality shared & supported accommodation to enable our tenants to have a safe place to live whilst they overcome their difficulties. We believe that by providing high quality supported accommodation, we can help our tenants to move forward in their lives achieving their full potential.

## Number 11
## Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025
We look at the ‘whole person ’supporting our tenants achieve sustainable change, by learning how to live independently. Whilst accommodated with us we assist our tenants to develop their life skills through a bespoke program of support designed for each individual. This has already included providing support such as cooking, budgeting, life planning, and crisis support either at the property or at Number 11.
## Volunteers
The trustees would like to acknowledge the significant amount of time given to the charity by an unpaid team of volunteers which is vital to our work as an organisation. The total amount of hours volunteered during the year was 1,565 and this is not reflected within the statement of financial activities because of its nature as a non-financial resource.
## Achievements and performance
The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on supporting vulnerable individuals in the city of Stoke-on-Trent and are undertaken to further Number 11’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.
Our key achievements over our sixth year in operation have been:
- Being able to not only continue to deliver high quality services but to build an organisation into a skilled structured workforce with a strategy and process to understand and develop vulnerable people.
- Developing a Housing Programme to both support clients and enhance the long-term sustainability of our crisis support work, we now manage two properties.
- 2,477 client visit the centre through the year
- Serving of 2,567 meals.
- 1,384 client support situations managed
- Clients attend twice a week and total attendance figures for workshops over the year is 875
- Volunteers have contributed over 1,565 hours to our work over the last 12 months.
## Beneficiaries of our services
We have a wide range of beneficiaries, most are from the local area of Burslem or the surrounding areas, however we support clients from across the whole city of Stoke-on-Trent. Our centre is open for any member of the community referred from many local partners and we support clients dealing with a wide range of issues.
## Opening Hours
Our opening hours have been extended to Monday for teaching English, Maths and phonics, Tuesdays and Thursday’s for workshops, 1:1 and advocacy, and Fridays for clients to come in and engage in crafts and activities.
## Financial Review
Over our last financial year, we invested significant time in exploring further grant funding to continue our work.
The charity had total income for the year ended 31 March 2025 of £199,485 (2024: £165,628). The charity is largely dependent on grant funding which totalled £123,727 (2024: £108,532) and represents 62% (2024: 66%) of total income. Of these grants, Number 11 has recognised and received the fourth instalment of a 5 year grant (Reaching Communities by the National Lottery) of £76,042 which is a restricted income stream.
The second key income stream for the charity consists of £28,830 (2024: £31,586) of unrestricted housing benefit generated from our investment in a property and rental of a second house.
The remainder of our income consists of smaller restricted and unrestricted grants along with donations from individuals and organisations. The trustees would like to thank all those who have generously contributed to our work. Without this consistent support the charity would not be in the place that it is today.

## Number 11
## Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025
At the close of the year, we have unrestricted funds totaling £195,078 (2024: £230,119). Of this, £84,633 (2024: £88,835) represents the designated fixed asset fund which is primarily the investment of unrestricted funds in our residential property (£70,485) and a further £14,148 (2024: £18,350) invested on property improvements and equipment. There is a further designated fund of £75,000 (2024: £75,000) for future property use. Of the remainder, our free reserves (defined as unrestricted funds not designated for future use and consisting only of cash balances amounted to £42,196 (2024: £71,457). This is below the minimum amount stated in our reserves policy of £90,000 as discussed below.
Total cash reserves at 31 March 2025 (which includes restricted, unrestricted and unrestricted designated funds) was £117,196 (2024: £146,457) and the charity is a in a healthy position going into 2025/26.
## Reserves Policy
Our policy is to hold a minimum of 6 months running costs. We anticipate that our running costs next year will be around £180,000, and therefore we aim to hold around £90,000 in our free reserves at any time. Our current free reserves are £42,196 and the trustees are satisfied that as the charity has implemented plans in the next financial year to grow the charity reserves.
## Plans for the future
As a trustee team we are proud of the achievements of the charity of the past 12 months and feel that it has been our immense privilege to see the impact Number 11’s work has had on so many lives.
However, we do not intend to stand still and so we will be continuing to refine our current work, such as our crisis support and volunteering, whilst also looking into some new areas.
## Structure, governance and management
Our trustee board has a wide range of expertise, and our trustee team works diligently to oversee the work we do. Trustee’s are recruited and are able to step down in the ways laid down by our governing document.
The organisation is a charitable incorporated organisation formed on the 25 July 2019.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 9 to the accounts.
Related parties and relationships with other organisations:
We have strong relationships with many organisations across the city of Stoke-on-Trent. The premises that we operate from is owned by SwanBank Methodist Church, and Number 11 originally began as a project run by the church before gaining charitable status. Although now legally separate we retain a strong working relationship. We work with many other partners across the city and would like to note our special thanks to Saltbox, who provide an informal representative at our board meetings to offer advice and guidance. We are grateful to the many informal partners who have raised money for our work over the past 12 months, and to the many agencies that either provide referrals to us or take referrals from us.

## Number 11 Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025
## Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees ’annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## Independent examiner’s report
## to the trustees of Number 11
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ending 31 March 2025 set out on pages 8 to 21.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Number 11
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
## 1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## a Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Number 11 meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
## b Judgments and estimates
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
## c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Number 11
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
## d Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## f Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
## g Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering support services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## i Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## j Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
|Leasehold improvements|10%|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|33%|
|Freehold property|0% - 33%|

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
## k Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## l Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## m Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## n Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## o Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 8.
## 2 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation with no share capital formed on the 25 July 2019, the charity previously operated as a restricted fund of Burslem Methodist Mission (Swan Bank) – charity number 1141130. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
