Annual Report April 2024-March 2025
V 1 03/07/2025
Introduction
OLDP CIO was registered as a Charitable interest organisation in 2019, after starting out as a CIC in 2017. The charity’s strap line is Opportunities for Liberating and Developing your Potential.
We work with Women and Girls to encourage them into careers in the built environment and STEM. We do this through offering opportunities to volunteer, work experience, apprenticeships, training workshops and self-employment services in our initiatives such as the Women’s hub, Deborah All Women handy person service and ‘she’s got games’.
Some of the aims of the Charity are to:
-
Encourage women into construction and the built environment industries. and
-
Redress their under-presentation in these areas in the workplace.
By doing so the objectives is to:
-
Increase the economic activity of Women and Girls and
-
Increase their income to reduce their poverty level.
Many of the Women and Girls who are supported and serviced by OLDP are from vulnerable disadvantaged backgrounds in some of the poorest areas of Birmingham and the West Midlands.
The charity had 6 trustees and co-opted trustees in the year, all of whom govern and manage the charity in their own volunteer time. The trustees are supported by committee members who encourage and advise them and who work and live in the heart of the communities in which the charity works.
We continue to be grateful for the support of trustees, committee members sponsors, TUAID and Quayside Tower Landlord.
On Behalf of the Trustees

Mission
OLDP is on a mission to change the way Women and Girls view their life and career expectation’s, empowering and upskilling them to look beyond stereotypes in work and leisure.
We want Women to look after their wellbeing as well as consider how they can form partnerships and relationships which will benefit their communities. Benefiting communities means spending volunteering hours, as well as monetary pounds.
“Some community currencies give citizens a chance to ‘earn’ income through good deeds like charity work - which helps explain why these currencies have often flourished in areas and at times where many were jobless” BBC 2023
The charity continues to strive to be self-sufficient and not reliant on grants, but on the currency of Women working to sustain Women, which cannot be expressed on a financial statement
V 1 03/07/2025
This Year
This year we have slowly restarted our Deborah team of handy person and decorating services to mainly age UK clients, teaming up with Hayley Robinson
www.paintedlady.com to deliver workshops in the hub space on those themes, ensuring our Women service providers are professional trained.
‘I am absolutely delighted with the 2 professional painters’ Jim in Telford
Moreover, with the help of our 2 apprentice’s we are managing the hub facilities and able to offer space to more Women lead enterprises and more groups who would like to use the meeting space.

the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

Trade and other 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.
