Objectives and Activities
Moor Time’s objectives (as set out in our governing document)
TO RELIEVE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES IN BRADFORD AND NEIGHBOURING LOCAL AUTHORITIES BY PROVIDING SHORT BREAK CARE AND STAFFSUPPORTED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.
Summary of Moor Time’s main activities
Moor Time provides staffed recreational activities for young people with additional needs in the Ilkley and Keighley area of West Yorkshire. Our emphasis is on meeting the leisure and support needs of young people with high level needs, and providing family carers with respite. Specifically we offer:
-
A holiday club for young people of compulsory school age (aged 5 in Year 1, to 18), five days per week across eight weeks of the major school holidays (Christmas, Easter and Summer). Providing specialist support and adapted and accessible activities so young people with high level needs can take part.
-
A Saturday club in term time for young people of compulsory school age. Also providing specialist support and adapted and accessible activities to be fully inclusive.
-
A reception-age and under group. This runs as a holiday stay and play for children of reception age and under, and a limited number of their siblings. Providing sensory play, support and signposting in a fully accessible environment.
-
A supported volunteering scheme for 18-25 year olds with additional needs, allowing the volunteers to gain skills and experience and providing peer to peer support.
Public benefit statement
As trustees we have read and understood the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. This informs all our planning and objectives as a charity, and we are confident that we are acting in accordance with the guidance.

Achievements and Performance – April ’24 – April ‘25
-
Saturday club sessions – from April ’24 to April ‘25, we ran 13 sessions of our term time holiday club at Beechcliffe Special School in Keighley. Beechcliffe is a fully accessible site with enclosed outside space, a sensory garden, gym, music room, kitchen for baking and food prep activities, and a sensory room. We regularly booked a bouncy castle for sessions, and brought in outside activity providers like live musicians and circus skills performers.
-
Holiday club – throughout this period we ran our holiday club in Ben Rhydding at Christmas, Easter and in the summer. Fully accessible activities involved everything from music therapy sessions to DJing workshops to adapted sports tuition and animal experiences, with a sensory room, soft play activity space and a large field for outside play always available for anyone who needed a break from more structured activities. We also ran regular trips for our secondary-aged group – to the Science and Media Museum in Bradford, Skipton Town Hall Museum and park, Harrogate Valley Gardens and a recording studio for a New Year party.
In total we ran 39 full-day sessions of holiday club between April ‘24 and April ‘25, accommodating an average of 10 young people per session.
- Under 5s sessions – From April ’24 to April ‘25 we ran 8 sessions of our under 5s group at Dan’s Den, a fully accessible soft play in Ilkley. The group runs as a stay and play open to reception-age children and under with additional needs, as well as a limited number of non-disabled siblings. Alongside sensory play, songs and signing, stories and crafts, we welcomed visitors from a local Occupational Therapy company, Bradford Inclusive Disability Service (BIDS), Jessie’s Fund for music therapy, and a Yoga studio for an adapted yoga session.
In October ’24 we also had our first under 5s group trip, a pumpkin-picking expedition to Brookleigh Farm in Menston.
- Supported volunteering and volunteering – during this period we offered 6 individual sessions of supported volunteering for young adults aged 18-25 with additional needs, and 6 individual sessions of volunteering for young adults who are training in relevant areas. Our supported volunteers are encouraged to practice independence skills and act as role models to our younger attendees. We encourage them to follow their interests.
Our volunteers mainly come from Shipley College Health and Social Care department, who have an onrunning relationship with Moor Time of sending students for internships. Moor Time project manager Jane Connop supported with a Shipley College Skills Week in January 2024 by giving a series of talks to students training in relevant fields.
-
Training successes – Jane Connop completed a two-day Positive Behaviour Team Teach Training course in June 2024, with Positive Behaviour training for all staff following in February ’25. She also completed Designated Safeguarding Lead training in October ’24. All staff completed hoist training at Beechcliffe School in October ‘24
-
Historic England project – in December ’24, Moor Time received a grant from Historic England to produce a permanent place-marker about a lesser -known aspect of Bradford’s history, as a part of the Bradford City of Culture 2025 celebrations. Moor Time young people commenced the project in February ‘25, working with staff and volunteers at the Shipley Glen Tramway in Baildon to create a multi-sensory, fully accessible panel telling the story of how the tramway fits into the history of leisure in the area. The project meant 5 additional sessions were offered to the secondary-age group in 2025.
-
Recruitment – in April 2025 Moor Time recruited two new sessional managers, both with a strong background in special education and care. This added to the resilience and flexibility of the staff team.

MOOR TIME
- Funding – Moor Time was charity of the year for All Together Now choirs in 2024, who raised a fantastic £1500 in total for us throughout the year. Events included a very popular sing-along at Ilkley bandstand in the summer, where a collection raised another £332.28, and carol-singing at Tescos in Ilkley at Christmas, where we collected an additional £128.46.
Moor Time also received £4800 from Bradford Council’s Short Breaks team towards activities and trips at our sessions. Day-to-day running costs continued to be covered by the National Lottery and the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) scheme.
Financial review
Moor Time plans sessions around funding received. Sessions are booked in around 3 months in advance. The majority of Moor Time staff, with the exception of the part-time Project Manager and part-time Finance Officer are on zero hours contracts and therefore Moor Time has a degree of financial security due to low fixed overheads.
Reserves policy
The Trustees’ policy is that the charity should have sufficient unrestricted reserves to enable it to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due without prejudicing the ability of the Charity to raise funding and commit expenditure to its objectives.
The Trustees carefully considered the financial obligations of the charity and have determined a reserve policy that is aimed at protecting a minimum reserve whilst managing funds to ensure that they are appropriately used to support the charity’s aims.
The reserves have been set at 6 months of overheads at any one time, currently £61,000.
Principal Funding Sources
The main income streams for the charity were comprised of grants from National Lottery and HAF Bradford Council. Other income was received from a Bradford Council Short Breaks grant, and local choirs’ fundraising.
Main expenditure
The major expenditure of the charity is in relation to staff costs and room hire. We feel confident that there will always be a need for our services as our families will always need respite and whilst we have grant funding at the moment, many of our families receive direct payments support, so we continue to explore this and other ways to fund our services.
Investment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent level of reserves each year, the charity’s funds will be invested in activities to further the objects as set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Board is committed to reinvesting any surplus funds, and will on an annual basis review the charity’s investment priorities and agree relevant investments to meet identified needs and opportunities aligned to our objects.

Risk Policy
The charity will implement a reserves policy, agreed by the Trustees with independent financial advice. The Trustees at its quarterly meetings will review any risk and issues raised, information around security and any updates on good governance and management. We will also ensure robust policies and procedures in place and address any gaps in provision.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 14.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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:-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
