The trustees p￿sent their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31st October 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities-
Statement of Recomrnended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) {effective l January
2019).
From its forniation in March 2020 through November 2024, Calder Community Cares operated as an
unincorporated association.
After navigating the challenges of Covid 19 {In response to which the
organlsatlon was founded), the Trustees aspired to gain Charitable status to enable thern to advance their
aims of preventing or relieving poverty in the Upper Caléer Valley and the surrounding Calderdale areas.
With the assistance of Saffmn Wylde, Adele Hannah, and Voluntary & Community, our application for
Charltable status was accepted on 6th November 2024.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTivrrIES
Objectlves and aims
The Charity Wa5 established with a clear and urgent mission- to help alleviate the impact of poverty wlthln
the Borough of Calderdale. Our primary focus Is providing immediate, dignified relief to individuals and
families facing financial crisis.
Core Actlvities
Ouring our first year of registration, our work has centred on four primary pillars:
Emeryency Support & Voucher Scheme
We provide shopping vouchers to ensure that those in immediate need can access food, dothing, and
essential household items.
In our first year as a regISte￿d charity we received 189 referrals for emergency vouchers from a variety
of referral agencies as well as dirert enquiries
this included statutory agencies as well as community
organisations.
Groups receiving support from the charity included 56 families with children, 13 elderly clients, 75
individuals in financial distress and 45 lone parents which included 210 children supported. Some
beneficiaries, due to ongoing circumstances, received support more than once. We hope to expand this
service in future years.
Reasons for referral included living in ongoing poverty, domestic violence, disability and mental health
issues.
One-off grants
We also supported a number of local community groups working with clients in poverty based or workiTrg
In Calderdale, some of whom have signposted beneficiaries to our voucher scheme as well as re￿Iving
financial support or support in kind.
The Saffron Wylde Bursary Fund
Established in memory of Saffron Wylde, this fund supports grassroots community activities that align with
our mission of kindness and local empowerment.
Sustainable Fundlng
The relaunch of our dedlcated charity shop. which seryes as both a revenue stream and a community hub.
Public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Comrnission's guidance on public benefit. By working closely with
local agerbcies and community groups, we ensure our support reaches those who are most vulnerable,
providing a vital safety net in a challenging economic dimate.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Expandlng the Voucher Scheme
Our first year has been defined by the successful expansion of our referral network. We have solldlfled
partnerships with local agencies, ensuring that our shopping vouchers are distributed efFiciently and reach
those who truly need them. By empowering beneficiaries to shop for their own needs, we maintain their
dignity while providing essential relief.
The Saffron Wylde Bursary Fund
Saffron Wylde was instrumental in the birth of this charity, and her untimely passing left a void in our
hearts. To honour her legacy of service, we established a bursary fund to support local groups.
Inaugural Grant
We are proud to announce that the first annual bursary was awarded to Kidsfest in Todmorden,
Impact
This grant helped fund a day of joy, providing activities and support for local families. It allowed chlldren
to engage in fun, high-quality artivities regardless of their financial background, perfectly reflecting
Saffron's splrlt.
Small Community Grant Scheme
This is still in its initial stage of implementation and provides local groups combattlng poverty wlth ac￿55
to small grants when required to support their work.
Establlshlng the Charity Shop
A significant milestone this year was the organisation and reopening of our charity shop. This venture has
been twofold in its Suc￿ss.
l. It provide5 a reliable income stream to fund our voucher programme and small grants scheme.
2. It arts as a visible presence in the borough. allowlng us to engage with donors and volunteers directly.
Oryanlsatlonal Growth
As a newly registered entity, we spent considerable time building a robust infrastructure. This included
implementing safeguarding policies, financial oversight, and support systems for our team. We have moved
from a small stsrt-up phase to an organlsed, pmfessional charity capable of sijstained growth.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial posltlon
In this first year. our financial priority was to balance immediate se￿1￿ delivery with the 'start-up' costs
of the charity shop
Reserves policy
The Trustees airn to build up and maintain a reserve equivalent to a minimum of three month5 of core
operating costs to ensure the continuity of the voucher scheme during fluctuations in shop income

In Memorlam
Mr Andrew Hinton
Reflecting on the work of our former Financial Director Mr Andrew Hinton (deceased) reminds me
of how we flrst met when the pandemic struck and how, as a retired cost accountant, he
staunchly supported us by introducing the WYCAS accounting system and the tireless work he did
when we transferred our accounts to the Xero system etc.
He always pretended to be a taciturn 'grump' but in reality was a tireless SUPPOrter of all the work
we did with CCC and an enormous help setting up our accounting systems for both Calder
Community Cares and then our shop Calder Community Kindness.
He wlll always be sorely missed, but we are so proud to attach his name to the vitally important
work of our much needed Crisis Voucher Scheme and to the small grant scheme for local
organisations supporting food poverty in our a￿a.
Rest in Peace Andyi you will always be remembered as a gentle glant of a man who will always
be respected by trustees present and past.
Saffron Wylde
Saffron Wylde was a formidable lady who ran a local micro-company and had extensive experience
supportlng oryanisatlons to move from a 'disrupted state, across public, private and charity
sectors.
As a Chartered Management Consultant, Saffron freely gave her time to CCC to guide the Trustees
through the Charity Commlssion reglstration process, advising on an appropriate structure, as
well as governance and procedural matters.
She was a genulnely fantastlc lady who Just wanted to do what she could to make things that little
brighter for everyone. She will be missed.
