Trustees Annual Report
The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 December 2023.
Objectives and Activities
The purposes of the charity are:
For the public benefit in Pudsey and its surrounding areas, the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or social disadvantage by the provision of a range of social and community engagement services delivered with a Christian ethos.
We achieve this through a range of services and groups which are delivered to people treated equally on the basis of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status or race.
Our primary locality of work is Pudsey and its surrounding areas – effectively the two council wards of Pudsey and Calverley & Farsley (including Pudsey, Calverley, Farsley, Swinnow, Tyersal, Rodley and Woodhall) but Reduce Reuse Kids’ Clothes operates wider and welcomes customers from across Leeds Metropolitan Borough Area.
Our vision and service provision is detailed below.
Financial Review:
In 2023 we have been able to stabilise our income and expenditure while significantly growing the charity’s operations and developing to having 8 employees (a mix of full and part-time) and 112 volunteers by the end of the year.
We have been successful in establishing funding streams from donations and grants which we are grateful for that will enable us to continue to operate with confidence, continue to employ much-needed staff to coordinate our amazing volunteers, and develop the charitable work of the Project including the many costs of inhabiting our dedicated charity building. The total income for the Project has been £203,674 of which £156,767 was restricted funds. The Project spent £177,000 during the year leaving an end-of-year surplus of £26,674.
We close the financial year with a healthy balance of £94,940 in unrestricted funds and £38,760 in restricted funds. This will enable continued work as funding streams become more competitive and financial support becomes restricted in the continuing cost of living crisis. Towards the end of 2023, we employed our first Director (CEO) with a key role of increasing grant funding for the charity’s operations.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have a reserves policy of ideally requiring a minimum of three months of running costs, aside from restricted funds. Based upon expenditure in 2023 and employment costs in Dec 2023, three months' running costs would be between £35,000 - £55,000. The Trustees are stratified they currently hold more than this target level in reserves.

By the end of 2023 our active volunteer numbers hit 100. and we are hugely grateful for all the wonderful people who ensure all our work happen5 each week. Having $0 many volunteers shows how fun a placè PCP is to work. and how many different ways of being involved we have.

Pudsey Community Project Year Ended 31 December 2023 Trustees Annual Report Plans for 2024 We are thrilled with the current range of programmes we offer- foodbank, pantry, youth and children's work, lunch club and children's clothes scheme. But in 2024 we will be continuing to expand the ways in which we support and empower the local community: We are appointing a Youthwork Lead role to supervise, develop and expand our youth and children's work. We are joining the Foodsavers network so our Community Pantry will allow users to save each week via Leeds Credit Union, so becoming more resilient against unexpected bills. We are opening the LS28 Repair Cafe in February, running on a monthly Saturday, and aiming to fix what has been broken rather than encourage a throwaway culture. After that we will launch an online Llbrary of Thlngs to encourage borrowing rather than buying for everyday items used much less than every day le.g. strimmers, wallpaper steamers). In summer we begin our twice-yearly Listening Project, part of a Leeds-wide community listening exercise, to ensure we are continually aware of the locality's voice. We will start the large-scale redevelopment of our lower hall, a programme including a new lift, windows, heating, flooring, lighting and more, in order to double our usable space. After that we will relaunch Pudsey Community Cinema and increase our schools work. We also plan to develop our mental health support work by running a regular Bereavement Cafe and starting a Mentoring Scheme for Year 6 and high school students. Through all of this we aim to work with and for the local community, transforming our locality, especially for those most vulnerable and disadvantaged. We hope you can join us in that aim. Thank you. 10

Notes to the Financial Statements
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a cash basis when receipts and payments take place through the bank account or petty cash.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal, often known as a ‘special offering’ in the charity.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources and the money has been paid.
Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on a cash basis when payments have been made through the bank account or by petty cash.
Governance Costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Operating Leases
Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease.
Taxation
