Chair’s Report

This year has seen the charity grow significantly in terms of finances and activity. In July 2024 Gig Buddies entered the first of three years of financial support from the National Lottery Reaching Communities fund. This funding is intended to support the growth of the reach and impact of the project in Hull and East Yorkshire. In December 2025 we welcomed three new part time members of staff who have since been working hard on raising the profile of the project and reaching out to new volunteers and participants. This work is seeing an increase in enquiries and applications, which we anticipate leading to an increase in matched pairs over the coming year. The team have also hosted multiple gigs, and supported numerous group socials – with over 400 social contacts being supported by Gig Buddies over the course of the year.

July 2024 also saw the Nice Twice campaign join Hull Red. The campaign began from a grassroots community initiative to improve venue accessibility in Hull for people with learning disabilities. The project began with seed funding from Mencap. When the time with Mencap had come to an end, we were pleased to be able to offer the campaign and their staff and volunteers a home, given the clear synergy with Hull Red’s charitable objectives.

In addition we are proud to continue our long history of providing nightclub events for adults with learning disabilities, with 5 events being hosted in this period with over 220 attendees at each.

The trustee group have met regularly to ensure good governance of the organisation; including oversight of the charity’s policies, insurance arrangements, banking arrangements and finances. We are very grateful for the time and expertise that the trustees bring across their specialist areas of knowledge.

Trustee’s Report

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

Hull Red is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation using the Foundation Model Constitution. Its only voting members are its charity trustees. The constitutional governing document was adopted on the 23 August 2023 when the charity was entered onto the Register of Charities, and has not been amended since that date.

Organisational Structure

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet every other month. They are responsible for overseeing the running of the activities undertaken by the charity, and ensuring that the charity is acting to further the stated charitable objectives, is working within the governing document, and is maintaining good operational and financial governance.

To assist the smooth running of the charity, the trustees have set up a number of subcommittees that help them oversee certain aspects of the charity’s work. Sub-committees are currently set up for finance, volunteering, and fundraising. These sub-committees report back to the full meeting of trustees with their recommendations.

The day-to-day management of the projects undertaken by the charity are delegated to staff and volunteers. An Operational Manager, who offers their time without renumeration, provides support to the staff and volunteers and reports to the board of trustee on a bimonthly basis.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. They work to ensure that the board hold the range of experience, knowledge and skills required to effectively administrate the CIO. The charity’s first trustees began their stated terms of appointment on the 23 August 2023 when the charity was incorporated. There have been no new appointments since the charity’s incorporation.

Induction and training of trustees

Prior to the incorporation of the charity, the first trustees were given copies of the governing document, and agreed the policies and procedures to be adopted by the charity.

They completed training from the NVCO on the roles and responsibilities of trustees, and reviewed publications from the Charity Commission, including the guidance on charities and public benefit. This was to ensure that the first trustees were aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charity Act. Since their induction the trustees have updated their knowledge on safeguarding via online training/in-person training.

Risk Management

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

An annual review of the risks that the charity may face
The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the risks that have been identified. In particular, insurance cover is in place and the finances of the charity are kept under regular review. Appropriate safeguards are in place for adults at risk supported by the charity, supported by regularly reviewed policies and DBS checks for the necessary roles.

Objectives and activities

Our aims and objectives

The charitable objectives of the CIO are:

‘To promote social inclusion for people with learning disabilities or other disabilities, in Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and elsewhere, for the public benefit; by preventing people with such disabilities from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded, and assisting them to integrate into society.’

We describe our mission as:

‘to increase social opportunities for adults with learning disabilities, particularly around music, nightlife and gigs’

Our aim is to support adults with learning disabilities to access the social opportunities of their choosing and in doing so widen their range of social supports, thus reducing loneliness and social isolation.

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The charity relies primarily on grants, with fees for the nightclub events

covering a portion of the operating costs. In setting the entrance fees for the nightclub event the trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility for those on low incomes.

Strategies

The strategies employed to achieve the charities aims and objectives are:

Hosting nightclub events aimed specifically at adults with learning disabilities and other disabilities
Providing the Gig Buddies project for Hull and East Riding; supporcng the development of friendships between people with and without disabilices to help them get out and enjoy gigs together
Supporcng venues with expanding their accessibility for people with learning disabilices through the Nice Twice campaign

Activities and achievements

• Hull Red Events

Hull Red nightclub events are organised by the Hull Red Events Organising Committee, comprising of people with lived experience of disability and attendees of the events. The committee act on a voluntary basis, meeting every other month to plan the events. The events are also supported by a wide group of around 60 volunteers, who are themselves supported by one of the trustees.

Hull Red events have hosted 5 nightclub events over the year. The events have included live bands and DJs, and occasional themed nights as requested by the audience and organised by the planning team. They have two regular DJs with lived experience of disabilities who play at the event.

Each of the nights have attracted audiences of between 220 and 320 people. Feedback is gathered regularly and the nights continue to be responded to positively by attendees.

Over the last year we have hired in an additional toilet facility for three of the nightclub events, from Revilootion. This is a fully-accessible mobile toilet facility that enables those with significant physical disabilities to be able to be changed with dignity. We’ve been able to do this with funding support from Two Ridings Charitable Trust.

• Gig Buddies

Gig Buddies is a befriending project that runs as a social franchise from a charity called Stay Up Late. Hull Red hold the franchise for Hull and East Yorkshire. The project matches people with and without learning disabilities who enjoy the same kind of gigs, and supports them to attend gigs together. It involves volunteer recruitment and training, participant recruitment, matching, and on-going support for the matched pairs. The project runs a monthly gig night and smaller groups of participants also meet on a regular basis for ad-hoc social events.

The last year has seen significant growth of Gig Buddies in Hull and East Yorkshire thanks to a three-year funding grant from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, which began on the 1[st] July 2024. The funding was awarded to support the project to grow its reach and impact and allow a greater presence and focus in the East Riding. Crucial to the first steps in the growth of the project has been an increase in the staffing team. A recruitment drive began in October 2024 and in December 2024 the project welcomed three new part-time Coordinators (an equivalent of just over 1.0 wte). These new staff members are being managed by the Project Lead, who was working on a 0.5 wte basis during this year, increasing up to full-time from July 2025.

Over the first half of 2025 the new team have been focused on marketing the project in the area to potential new volunteers and participants and building new relationships with partners, community groups and services who might make referrals. This has included being present or working in partnership with local music festivals, music and cultural venues, learning disability hubs, Local Authority events, and colleges/universities. This has seen a positive impact on the number of enquiries and applications; with around 140 enquiries having been received over the year (84 enquires to become a buddy and 56 to become a volunteer). Once enquiries are received the team then make contact to consider the person’s hopes and aspirations and complete an application if appropriate. Volunteer applications require DBS and reference checks prior to training and being matched with a buddy.

Whilst this work is ongoing the team continue to run a monthly open access gig, which serves as a meeting point for current participants or new people wanting to find out more. Over the course of the year 43 musicians have performed at these nights, and 383 people have attended.

In 2024 a group of Gig Buddies started a band called the Tuesday Tea Club. This inclusive band has been rehearsing together regularly with support from the Project Lead, and in May 2025 they performed at the Spring Board Music Festival. They also have two further gigs

coming up in collaboration with another band who use a BSL interpreter to support access for Deaf audience members, and have also been invited to play as part of the Hull Jazz Festival. The band members have been developing skills and confidence from these experiences and have been promoting Gig Buddies and the importance of inclusivity and diversity from front and centre on the stage.

• Nice Twice Campaign

Nice Twice is a campaign that was launched in 2023 led by citizens of Hull. The campaign grew from a Mencap funded grass-roots community development project. The Mencap project provided seed funding for communities to develop their own solutions to the barriers they identified. In Hull the issue that the community most wanted to address was venue and arts accessibility; so the project aimed to improve venue accessibility and inclusion by providing bespoke non-judgmental and encouraging support to the music and arts scene in Hull. In July 2024 the Nice Twice group moved from Mencap to Hull Red and have been working alongside Gig Buddies and Hull Red Events to further the charities aims.

The name of the campaign refers to the likelihood that people will only return to a venue a second time if their experience if nice. The campaign involves a group of people with lived experience, with support from two part-time members of staff, offering advice to music and arts venues on issues of accessibility. The group will visit venues and discuss their experience and offer ideas and access to resources.

Over the last year Nice Twice have worked directly with eight venues/organisations to support them with accessibility. The group have learned that each organisation values a slightly different approach. Some venues have been grateful to receive a written and verbal report from the community members about their experiences of the venue’s accessibility, along with advice about improvements. However, other venues have suggested a written report feels overwhelming, and have preferred a more informal approach of meeting with community members on a number of occasions to talk through bite-sized improvements they might want to make. The group have learned that building flexible, responsive relationships have been key to meeting venues where they are at. This has led to the group launching a series of ‘Access Chats’, where venues can come together with people with lived experience to talk openly in a supportive environment about accessibility.

Earlier this year Nice Twice launched their new website. This is proving to be an important way to share knowledge with venues and celebrate the work that Nice Twice venues have been achieving.

Financial review

This is the organisation’s first full year of operating as a CIO, with our previous year being a conversion year from CIC to CIO.

Our Statement of Financial Activities is summarised below:

SOFA	2024/25	2023/24
Income:
Grants & Donations	£110,831	£18,225
Other Income	£6,493	£6,890
Total Income	£117,324	£25,115

Total Expenditure:	£98,877	£28,006

Net Income/ (Expenditure)	£18,446	(£2,891)

Funds Brought Forward from Previous Year	£39,900	£42,791

Total Funds Carried Forward	£58,346	£39,900

The increases in funds reflects an increase of activity, and further breakdowns of the source of these funds is within the annual accounts. However, it would be remiss not to mention that the increase reflects funding from Mencap to deliver the Nice Twice accessibility and advocacy project for a fixed term, and a Reaching Communities grant to fund the expansion of Gig Buddies as part of a three year funding award.

All trustees are aware of their responsibilities around finance, and a review of in-year income and spending is a regular item at each trustee meeting. Our budgeting is prepared on a five-year rolling basis so we remain aware of future commitments and clearly identify potential funding gaps which feed into the work of the fundraising committee.

Our Treasurer is a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Public Finance Accounting, bringing a significant level of expertise to the trustee group.

Reserves policy

Hull Red’s reserves policy is to build in resilience in case of a funding disruption and in the worst-case scenario would allow a managed wind up of the charity.

We are working towards holding sufficient reserves to do this, and calculate a reserve target based on potential redundancy and other wind-up costs should we need to do so. At the same time, we recognise that our money is intended to be spent on delivering our charitable aims, and do not seek to retain excess reserves.

Plans for 2025/26

• Hull Red Events

Over the coming year, Hull Red Events will host a further five nightclub events with bands and themes decided upon by the organising committee with input from the audience members.

• Gig Buddies

Over 2025/2026 the newly formed staff team will be focused developing the reach of the project; building new connections, raising the profile of the project (including launching a new website), recruiting new volunteers and participants, matching new pairs, and supporting an increased number of people with learning disabilities to access social opportunities of their choosing.

• Nice Twice

Nice Twice will continue to work collaboratively with venues to support accessibility. They are planning to develop the series of Access Chats and extend these to hospitality venues alongside music and arts venues.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdon Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of

the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the 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 accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Note 2 Accounting policies INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a
