## **Hope Long Eaton CIO**
Our main income comes from Donations and grants from local churches and individuals, from local authorities and other charitable organisations.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
All of our activities are either free or non –profit.
## **Summary of the main achievements during the period**
Our Breakfast cafe numbers are steady at around 40 visitors per week but the amount of Citizens advice referrals has increased. We have also started running blood pressure clinics in conjunction with Live Life Better Derbyshire. These look to reach out to the community by offering free Blood pressure checks in the breakfast cafe. A few people have already been signposted to their GP’s as they had a high reading. Also our Playpals toddler group continues to meet weekly. The funding from this is still funded by Active communities. We started our Family cooking sessions in June and the first session went very well with 6 families attending the course which was part funded by Active communities and Derbyshire adult education. The youth cafe started in May and ran during the summer term with an average of 5 young people attending.
Over the 2024 summer holidays we ran weekly family activity sessions branded as Fab Fridays on The Petersham estate. These were held every Friday. The first activity was a Beach party when over 140 residents came together for a party which had a beach, bouncy castle, face painting, crafts and a free lunch. All this took place on a closed road outside the Petersham hall. We followed this up with further activities such as sports day, cooking skills, forest school and also a family picnic. These activities were very well attended with over 40 children attending each week. To assist our project director in his role we are employing a worker to help in the youth cafe and toddler group. This role will be for 8 hours a week.
Our Manna Foodbox has continued to hold its numbers and we have opened a second distribution point in Sawley. We continue to collect surplus food and past best before food from local supermarkets and distribute it at both our Breakfast cafe and Manna Foodboxes projects. We also support Welcome on Wednesday a local community meal with this surplus food. We are also supporting Long Eaton and Sawley Foodbank with surplus food to give out to their clients.
We continue to refurbish donated bikes to raise money for the charity as well as carrying out repairs to local peoples bikes. Our projects are overseen by our Project Director Carl McCarthy who manages a team of around 35 volunteers.
As well as supplying food we also look to offer support by encouraging more people to volunteer on our projects and gain confidence skills and self-esteem to assist them with the necessary life skills that will help them.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hope Long Eaton CIO for the year ended 31 August 2024**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Hope Long Eaton CIO (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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 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 Act; or
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.
