SEWING FOR MENTAL HEALTH BUILDING MINDFULNESS, CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNITY Sew Positive's mission is to provide opportunities for socially excluded people in Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas to nurture their mental health through free sewing workshops and courses. We help people to learn new skills and to feel part of a community, reducing the feeling of social exclusion, whatever the cause - unemployment, financial hardship, youth or old age, ill health, discrimination, alcohol or substance abuse, relationship and family breakdown, or poor housing. We help people to integrate into society, principally through the provision and promotion of creative activities.
WELCOME FROM OUR CEO This 2023124 Annual Review (which includes summarised financial figures) celebrates our third year of being a charity, supporting people facing social isolation through sewing to support mental health and well- being. This year our income has stabilised after doubling in the previous financial year. Services and partnerships have grovvn, we have extended our Social Prescribing - highlighted by the NHS as a major tool to help support the health service- and recruited a new Chair and four new trustees. The National Lottery changed its Awards for All from £10K per year to £20K over two year5 to help the administrative burden. Cambridge City Council's United with Ukraine grant has introduced a new third tier of funding to established charities, Such as ourselves, who have a track record of work with Ukrainian refugees. We have also begun moving to a 'matched-funding' approach for services, allowing us to combine programmes and bring together funding from different sources, and collaborate with other charities to help more people from different communities and wider areas of our region. The past 12 months for small charities have been challenging, as over 150 additional charities made a first application to Cambridgeshire Community Foundation for funding. Several large charitable foundations are winding down, such as Lankelly Chase, which has an endowment fortune of £130m.' it is to abolish tself after concluding that tradttional philanthropy is 'function of colonial capitalism" Major funders are also changing strategies to reflect the needs of small charities constantly applying for one-off small pots of funding. ij
Collaborations with businesses are increasingly vital. Membership of the 'Networking with Purpose, plarform through Rachel Hales {pictured with mel led to us running an event at law firm Mills & Reeve, and enabled independent funding from Cambscuisine for a continuation of one of our Ukraine projects. Many changes have been possible due to taking part in the inaugural cohort of Fair Collective's 'Small Charity Leaders, Club, training with 45 other small charity leaders. Through membership of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations IACEVOI, I was awarded coaching from Jane Bell, a Charity CEO and mentor for ACEVO. Our volunteers are increasingly leading and co-producing services and working with participants directly.They consistently go above and beyond to find upcycled materials, suggest techniques, share tips and videos, run groups independently during school holidays, and visit homes to sew with participants who are unable to get to groups. l am so grateful for the knowledge, support, encouragement and joy our volunteers bring to Sew Positive, along with the fantastic efforts of our trustees, who are also volunteers. With other charity leaders we are contributin9 to the 'lnfluence and Participation Project., with a focus on mental health. learning disability and autism. The aim is to ensure our charities. NHS and local councils integrate to make health and care more accessible and joined up for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough residents. Melissa Santiago Val IILLS&*EEVI
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & TREASURERS, REPORT Over the next financial year we want to increase our income ar diversify by developing corporate partnerships and fundraising, to provide a reliable unrestricted income stream. As part of this drive we have a 'Running Stitth, team of six runners fundraising for us at the ThP Cambridgè Half- Marathon in 2025. A Tonger and more consistent income will 5UPPQrt us in funding a permanent stsffing structure, vital for futu sustsinability and success. Our income has decreased slightly this financial year from £41.386 in 2022123 to £40,442 in 2023124. This is mostly from project-based grant and trust funding applications. with a mixture of restricted and unrestricted fundin9. but the development of corporate partnerships and other income streams is increasingly vital. Once again we are grateful for the support of Cambridge Council for Voluntary Service ICCVS) as a 'critical friend, as we increase our growth and governance. For context. there are around 2,100 charities operating in Cambridgeshire, over 80% of which have an income of less than £1 CM),OCQ. However, it's not just about donations from businesses, it's about finding common ground for social go¢)d, offering us free office space, matching employees who might need our support, finding new volunteers or gtving Sew Posttive pro bor Servi5. We are increasing reach through expanding wdlbeing vfixkshops to businesses. communty fundraisi and events. and applications to become Charity of the Year for local businesses. Our relationship with Grand Arcade the 'Let's Go Circular, Festival enables us to use free space for community events to educate on textile waste Ind upcycling as part ofthe shift towards a circular economy.
Earlier this year, we recruited five new trustees to the board - Sarah Mcmanus, Alex Collis, Jane Webber, Karin Read and Joseph Barker-sherry. Sarah took up the role of Chair, with Alex and Jane as Co-Deputy Chairs. All five bring unique skills and experience to strengthen the charity and help us to define and shape our future services. With this recruitment, Lynne Bebee, a founder volunteer and trustee, has stepped down. Lynne contributed to Sew Positive through making masks as a volunteer, *tting ¢Jp our accounts systems and making a huge contribution to administration and govemance. She continues to be involved and support Sew Positive. We are all immensely grateful for her work. Along with their responsibilities, the trustees ensure that all restricted reserves are accounted for in accordance with good financial practice and the will of the funders. As part of this process. we havè also introduced a full Financial Forecast up to 2026127 to help funders understand our funding potential as vve go forward. We now maintain records of our income and expenditure using Xero. Our CEO and Treasurer have developed their knowledge through training provided by our independent accountants. As part of our drive for greater financial stability and governan. we have introduced a Reserves Policy to build the Sew P051tive undesignated Ifreel reserves to a level that allows the organisation to manage the variations of funding that are all too common in the sector. We thank all our trustees, both past and present, for their invaluable support and contributions. Joseph Barker-shery

OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS "It's so much more than 50wing." An incredible 2226 hours were donated by 29 volunteers in 2023124. Three of our participants- Adi, Lynn and Clare, told us about the impact our volunteers make, and the way they go above and beyond everyday volunteering. WhatsApp groups are run entirely by volunteers giving us a safe space to share 'how to, information, links, events and projects. Helen is like a magpie finding upcycled, donated materials and little kit5 for people who might not have a project, making them feel seen and cared for. They take a IFttle and make it stretch further and have a far bigger impact. Volunteers even checked 27 donated sewing machines, listing repairs needed, storing these and other materials in their homes as Sew Positive is a small charity without premises. "Sew Positive isn't just something to do for a couple of hours a week. It is a 0-WaY tommunity that Melissa and volunteers have created. Volunteers do far more than support in sessions, they provide practical and emotional support so we can all take part. They are a calm, patient and empathetic presence in every group, listening. helping and easing Social insecurities. They are as happy to teach us how to do French Knot as to listen to your worries. They support us to develop creative ideas whilst 'embracing imperfection, in both sewing and ourselves. "Margot arranges volunteer sewing days at her house to encourage community among volunteers too. They arranged a mobility scooter so that a participant could take part in a trip and provide lifts to people to enable them to attend groups. "Sew Positive is so much more than sewing. What they do is amazing. they are amazing. We want to celebrate them."
FEEDBACK FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS "I would love to see more of these activities, as they have helped me." -1 loved a longer terni projert. with homework to Complete in between.

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES SEWCIALISE This service, funded by The National Lottery Awards for All, has developed into a volunteer- led, co-production focused group. It's a positive space to start the week, with volunteers taking in donated materials for participants to suggest and develop activities. No two weeks are the same, and the group sees experienced sewers and new participants come together. offering peer sUPPOrt and wanting to try out different crafts. Learning and sharing continues on WhatsApp with ideas and shared resources. Although the group is funded term-time only, volunteers have tsken extra sessions over school holidays at Cambridge University Botanic Garden using our free Community Group access membership to prevent isolation over longer holiday periods.
WELLBEING EVENTS FOR BUSINESS Funding is needed to deliver an increasing demand for services, so we extended collaborations with local businesses to support mental wellbeing of their employees and provide unrestricted income. These included events for Cambridge University students at Homerton College 'Wellbeing Week, in April 2023. advertising agency BBH London in May 2023, and legal firm Mills & Reeve in March 2024. "We worked with Sew Positive to deliver a slow-stitching sashiko wellbeing workshop for 28 employees. Helping small charities in our city is part of our policy to support local vulnerable communities. It was brilliant for employee5 to have a relaxing lunchtime activity, and to see our branded tote bag5 come to colourful life using mindful stitching" Sarah Adams, Events and Hospitality Manager, Mills and Reeve LLP. BBH employee Kreepa N (pictured bottom left) said -It was so informative and fun and l am still working on my bag at homg, I love it."
UKRAINE PROJECTS Using Cambridge City Council United with Ukraine grant and The National Lottery Awards for All (special award for Eurovision and Coronation events), we ran three further projects working with Ukrainian refugees. Each delivered programmes to support mental health and increase connection for the Ukraine refugee community living in the city. As part of the National Lottery project we ran sewing lessons to make 52 metres of bunting from upcycled fabrics for a special Eurovisior) party and screening for 100 familie5 on 13 May 2023. This also brought together partnership opportunities with other charitie5 in Cambridge, including Turtle Dove CIC and Cambridge Sustainable Food. pi). ?vl A first for Sew Positive, our Crewelwork project combined funding Wlth Cambridge City Council's United with Ukraine grant, alongside matched- funding via Cambridgeshire Community Foundation's Cambscuisine Community Fund, enabling different communities to come together to Share heritage, cultures and increase social connection. Funding for this was awarded in the 2023124 financial year, but the project ran in 2024125.
We delivered a hybrid course combining in-person delivery. video on demand and support by Zoom. The programme included 'Culture hours, integrated into sessions around 'Books, Crafts, and finally 'Food'. We included a community lunch with shared food, explaining traditions and origins of dishes. K¢ "With your projertS1 you are doing a great job of improving the mental health and psycho- emotional state of us Ukrainians. who were forced to leave our homes with the war and adapt to life in a new country. With research in The Lancet showing 54% of Ukrainians have PTSD, this work continues to be vital. Services have organically developed bringing Ukrainian and UK communities together to learn and connect, with far- reaching impact. With many displaced refugees living beyond boundaries of existing funding. we are applying for further funding to meet demand. The introduction of a higher funding tier from Cambridge City Council meant we responded by increasing governance, reporting and capacity to apply to extend our work.
CULTIVATE CAMBRIDGE SOCIAL PRESCRIBING Cultivate Cambridge funding vi Cambridgeshire Community Foundation ICCFI from Cambridgeshire County Council saw us deliver the final cohort of this Social prescribing programme. We entered a series of photos from the programme into the Cambridge Council for Voluntary Services ICCVSI Photo Competition 2023, and our image of people making lampshades from upcycled fabrics Ibelowl went on to win the 'Public Voté,, which was excellent recognition from our 5ectOT, and help5 rnore people hear about our work. You can chat as much as you like, or just listen. Anybody who is not that confident will be fine. It's a great group and there are always volunteers there to give you a hand if you get stuck. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to find a comfortable Space. I definitely feel it has benefited me personally.- fl
SEWING SOCIAL As part of the Cultivate programme, we ran a 'Summer Sewing Social, Taster Day at Brownsfield Community Centre, which was an opportunity to try out a number of different activities and register for the second cohort. Initially, the programme was funded for participants aged over 65 at risk of needing care, but we extended this to meet demand for applicants of a younger age, who are identffjied to live with thi5 risk too. We had a guest textile artist, Jemma {now a volunteer} visiting to run a session on 'Free Motion Embroidery., and a brilliant participant-led and designed activity upcycling denim into a planter. This activity has subsequently been run at the Let's Go Circular festival and other community activities. We were joined by three volunteers from the Trumpington Stitchers who came to run a session on crochet- trustees and participantsjoined to try out new techniques. This involvement and participation is key to development of our services. with our participants driving what we do and how we do it.
CORONATION EVENT As part of a special National Lottery Fund, we ran a Community Coronation- themed tote bag day in the South Cambridgeshire village of Haslingfield (where the charity was founded and is based). Families and people of all ages took part in 'The Big Help Out, day on Monday 8 May. Participants aged from nine months to over 80 years old learned new skills and found out about textile waste. It featured in the 'Has and Harl, eco group day to embrace localism, the sharing economy and to reduce consumption. HOMERTON COLLEGE Wellbeing Week at Homerton College, Univer51ty of Cambridge, was a great opportunity for students to slow down with some creative stitching to help ease stress. We ran a sashiko session for students and stsff as part of our wellbeing sessions for businesses. This built on a previous event wtth the college using a bespoke embroidery activity, and we were delighted to retum at the point in the academic year just before exams. "Thank you for the wonderful workshop." the students thoroughly enjoyed it. We really appreciate you bringing a calm and soothing atmosphere, and a space to just be. Grace Hernandez, Homerton College Wellbeing Coordinator.
COMMUNITY EVENTS, COLLABORATIONS AND NETWORKS We deliver a variety of activities for people to access taster sessions. progress to volunteering or find out about using our services. That way, different communities can engage and we can grow our reach. This also gives us opportunities to collaborate with other organisations. so we work better together and strengthen our sector. These are generally vnfunded and rely on donations and volunteer support. COMMUNITY EVENTS INCLUDED... The Grand Arcade's 'Let's Go Circular, Festival has become a year-round feature enabling local companies and charities to highlight issues around textile waste and move towards a circular economy. East Barnwell Community Centre's half term activity in collaboration with Abbey People gave 35 children and families the chance to try upcycling and slow stitching. We were especially happy that our 2023 event saw one of our participants design an activity using upcycled denim and a plastic drinks bottle to make a fabulous denim planter. The festival has recently won the Green Award in the Cambridge Independent Business Awards 2024, and we are delighted photographs of our workshop headline the 2024 campaign materials.
A 'Food for the Planet. event at Akeman Street Community Centre in October half term was run by Cambridge City Council with Cambridge Sustainable Food. The festival encourages people to grow their own food and make posttive steps to tackle climate change at a personal level. We were delighted to meet Cllr Jenny Gawthrope Wood, City Mayor, to introduce her to our work (pictured below). At Haslingfield Repair Cafe, run by Cambridge Carbon Footprint. one of our volunteers was also helping as a repairerl The 'Power Up. Festival at Netherhall School run by the City Council and i3parenthub- saw 130 young people and families come together to take part in a variety of charity activities to boost wellbeing and mental health.

Sew Positive CIO
Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024, in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.
Financial review
Policy on reserves
Reserves
Donation income and income from events for businesses are our primary funding sources for our core fund – from which we support all of the organisation's fixed costs. As donated income cannot always be predicted, and the success of funding bids is not guaranteed, the trustees believe it is prudent for the charity to work towards a minimum reserve equivalent to three months expenditure. This will provide:
-
the ability to meet unforeseen expenditure, including costs arising should Sew Positive be wound up
-
(closedown costs, redundancy payments, return of grant funding);
-
flexibility in achieving our objectives; and
-
a financial ‘cushion’ until additional core funding can be secured.
In accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidelines, the Trustees review this policy annually and consequently manage the cash flow in an appropriately prudent manner. For this financial period, donations £623, Grants £33,561, Income £6,258, Total Turnover £40,442 and a finishing balance of £12,464, representing reserves of £12,464. This includes the £10,000 National Lottery award.
Reflection on the 2022/23 year- end accounts
Last year, we received feedback from the Cambridge City Council regarding how our 2022/23 accounts should be presented. The feedback included notes on figures which did not agree with the statements of financial activity, the use of the 'raising funds' expense category instead of 'charitable activities' and the fact that there was no breakdown of project funds, along with other comments. This led to a full review prior to publication of the 2023/24 accounts, which revealed an error in our C/F closing balances. This has been corrected reflecting the correct closing balances from 2023/23 of Restricted C/F £15,169 and Unrestricted C/F of £3,544.
This year, we have added in a breakdown of the project funds so the income and outgoings of each project can be analysed. All expenses have been allocated under 'charitable activities' and the financial review commentary figures match with the statement of financial activity.
The strategic report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 22 November 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is:
1 Fountain Lane Haslingfield Cambridgeshire CB23 1LT
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 22 November 2024.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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.
Basis of preparation
Sew Positive CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 16
Sew Positive CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £200.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Page 17
Sew Positive CIO
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Computer equipment 33% straight line Plant and machinery 25% straight line
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
