## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 September 2025
The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Objectives and activities**
The purpose of the charity is to deliver the following:
- To help and educate young people in Salford and surrounding areas by the provision of a centre which offers training, support and leisure activities, with the aim to develop their physical, mental, moral and spiritual capacities, that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and their conditions of life may be improved;
- To offer training and education programmes for the benefit of the public living in and around Salford; and
- To advance the Christian religion by communicating and explaining the Christian faith, as opportunity permits and in response to enquiry, through individual and group discussion and by encouraging and facilitating attendance at local Christian churches and meetings.
Although Lifecentre Salford is a Christian Charity, we welcome equally people of any faith or none.
## **Summary of the main activities:**
**Holiday Hunger Holiday Clubs** : We have built partnerships with many different organisations to deliver vital provision for children in great need in Salford. We have also played an advocacy role in raising awareness of this need in the city. This has led to the Lifecentre playing more of a key role in providing advice and provision in the area of holiday hunger across the whole city of Salford. This year we have again been involved in coordinating the HAF work across the whole city of Salford. We ended our involvement with HAF in the winter holiday of 2024, handing the work over to a number of other agencies.
**Breakfast Group** : This group is a continued partnership with Willow Tree Primary School, running 5 mornings a week in term time and providing a stable, calm environment for up to 10 children to help improve their attendance, behaviour and self esteem, and providing them with wholesome breakfast each day.
**Paired Up Reading** : A project linking children in local schools with older people living in sheltered housing projects where the older people help the children to read.
**Moving On Well** : Helping children from year 6 in the big move from Primary to High School. We have been delivering face to face lessons, and this year have expanded our work and have begun work to develop a quality mark in this area, in partnership with the University of Manchester and other schools and agencies.
**JAM Club/ Faith in Schools** : Weekly clubs in St Luke’s C of E, providing fun and games and a Christian message for the children who attend.
**We Run Salford** : Focussed on encouraging local women to run and get fit. Boosting self-esteem and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
**Salford Scorpions and SS Cadets** : Weekly free training sessions for adults and children in Flag American Football. Including a men’s team in the national league and 3 youth teams in the national league.
**Theraplay** : A project working alongside families which is receiving very positive feedback from the families involved.

## Lifecentre Salford Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 September 2025
**Youff** : A Thursday night club for young people of high school age with fun activities, food and Christian input. This year the work has grown and we have started new groups helping the young people to grow in their faith. We have also trained a team of mentors to provide individual mentoring sessions for young people ages 11-16.
## **Public benefit statement**
In the projects listed above, we have made a significant difference this year in the lives of hundreds of children, young people and families across Salford, providing material support in terms of food, therapeutic support, pastoral encouragement, physical fitness, emotional and spiritual help, and creating communities in which people can thrive and grow as good citizens.
Lifecentre Salford trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year which helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
## **Strategic Report**
## **Achievements and performance**
All the groups listed in this report have continued to thrive this year. We are delighted with the impact of the holiday hunger work on the lives of hundreds of children but also on the continued importance placed on this work by other agencies. This has been reflected in the HAF work continuing beyond our involvement with them. This has been a significant work for the Lifecentre and we are pleased with what has been achieved, and its lasting impact on the city. We are encouraged by the growth of the Paired-Up Reading project. Our Moving on Well initiative has seen significant progress in the development of the Quality Mark. The Salford Scorpions continues to expand with new people and teams forming and opportunities to reach even more people.
## **Financial review (including reserves policy)**
At the end of the reporting period Lifecentre Salford had total funds of £170,396 (2024: £249,032) consisting of unrestricted funds of £118,132 (2024: £108,548), and restricted funds of £52,264 (2024: £140,484). Cash reserves at bank were £154,717 (2024: £250,564). There are no immediate concerns about the charity’s finances. During the year the charity received unrestricted income of £57,095 (2024: £82,002) and restricted income of £127,877 (2024: £261,602). Expenditure for the year from unrestricted funds was £39,468 (2024: £42,450) and from restricted funds £224,101 (2024: £254,485).
We are pleased with our end of year conclusions in the accounts and the healthy state of our finances this year.

## Lifecentre Salford
## **Principal funding sources**
We extend our sincere appreciation to all supporters whose funding has enabled us to sustain our projects over the past year. We would like to acknowledge, in particular, the generous contributions of the following organisations:
- Booths
- Greggs
- Georgia’s Children
- Sainsburys
- St James and Emmanuel Church, Didsbury
- Sport England
- Salford CVS
- The National Lottery
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to all our regular donors, whose continued commitment continues to play a crucial role in enabling our work.
We would also like to acknowledge our gratitude to Salford City Council and the Department for Education for their financial support in enabling our Holiday clubs for the past four years, it has been a privilege to undertake this work and to support families in our Salford community.
## **Plans for future periods**
To continue to grow and develop the work in response to the needs of our community here in Salford. We expect all current projects to continue in the coming year. In October 2025 we will launch a Quality Mark for High Schools to support best practice in Year 6 - Year 7 transition.
The trustees made the decision to no longer deliver the Holiday Activities Fund to focus on other Lifecentre projects. This will result in a significant reduction in income in 2025-26 from the previous three years. Holiday Activities were delivered until January 2025.
After seeking the views of local people we are planning to create a new Family Worker role to expand our work with local families, providing much-needed support for parents and carers in addition to our work with children and young people.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Lifecentre Salford was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission on 18 August 2023. The charity was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the charity and its governance.
Our General Manager Beth Myring is accountable in her work to the team of trustees and meets with a nominated trustee for monthly line management. The trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the Lifecentre to Beth and her team. There is a finance committee made up of 2 trustees and one advisor who decide each year on pay scales and any increases that may be necessary.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. No expenses were reclaimed from the charity during the period. Trustees are recruited based on skills and are selected based on experience and expertise they have which will help to deliver the aims of Lifecentre Salford. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by existing ones.

## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 September 2025
## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities SORP. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on 21 April 2026 and signed on their behalf by

Lifecentre Salford Independent examiner’s report to the trustees For the year ended 30 September 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ending 30 September 2025 set out on pages 7 to 21.
## **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 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of staff time in fundraising activities.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **i Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs consist of governance costs which are wholly attributable to charitable activities.
