Sadness because I’m presenting and Chris, our devoted secretary, is unwell – and we wish him all the best and can’t wait to see back with us soon. Sadness because, again, the pandemic has meant we have been unable to support as many children as we would wish. Sadness because children of our city and district still need our support for trips, treats and the basic necessities. However, I am filled with hope. I am filled with hope as our Crash Pad is now finished and ready to welcome children for much needed respite, much needed care, much needed breaks away from their troubles. I cannot imagine the daily grind of young lives so blighted, but I am filled with hope that this wonderful building will be a great comfort to many in the coming years, and they will cherish the memories made here. I am filled with hope as we have expanded our committee. We welcomed Mike Conway who has reinvigorated our quest for donations to keep us going for another 130 years, and rejuvenated our relationship with The T&A so we are back in Bradford’s conscious. I am filled with hope as I remember how tirelessly our committee and a good number of our friends got together to fill and wrap over a thousand shoeboxes so that the most needy and vulnerable in our community got just a little something on Christmas Day. I am filled with hope as the world opens up again, and we are again receiving applications – which means that the poorest, most vulnerable children in our community are having fun again. I am filled with hope when I picture these children paddling in the sea, climbing rocks, riding rollercoasters, and slurping ice creams. We exist to put smiles on children’s faces, and I am filled with hope when I picture those smiles that we – through the generosity of Bradfordians – have made happen. I’m filled with hope every time we give money to support the great groups we have in our community who work so hard to make young people’s lives better. Finally, I am thankful. I’m thankful for every minute our tireless committee gives to put smiles on children’s faces. I’m thankful for the leadership, drive and energy Terry brings. 5 I’m thankful to our trustees who work to ensure we have the funds to put smiles on children’s faces – and thankful for every penny donated by those in Bradford and beyond. I’m thankful to those who will, long after we’re gone, be putting smiles on children’s in another 130 years’ time. And I’m thankful to you for listening. Thank you. John Atkinson on behalf Chris Hayden Hon. Secretary Bradford Cinderella Club 8 March 2018 6 ## **The 130th Annual Report** ## **The Bradford Cinderella Club** ## **Treasurer’s Report November 2019 – October 2020** You will see from the appended auditors report that financial statements are becoming more extensive due to the increase in compliance requirements. I thought it would be useful to extract the figures that are more pertinent to the activities of funding underprivileged children. In the year ended 31 October 2020 we provided funding of some £11775 to fund underprivileged children to attend residential activities with their schoolmates, to hold Christmas Party’s that would otherwise not happen, send children off to the theatre ad give some a chocolate treat either with a selection box at Christmas are a chocolate egg at Easter. This is despite the issues created by covid 19 on a par with previous years. Every pound that is funded is carefully scrutinised by our committee before being granted. In addition to funding individual children we also funded the annual shoebox appeal to a level where we can be secure in the knowledge that every shoebox delivered to a child at Christmas has a range of quality presents inside. In December 2019 this Charity purchased goods to the value of around £6012 we also held some stock from previous years, plus a further £1473 in other costs for the purchase of boxes, storage & transport which makes our annual shoebox appeal a massive investment but one where we know children who would not otherwise get anything at Christmas get something. Due to the issue that we felt Covid could create we started our shoebox shopping early for Christmas 2020 & purchased goods to the value of £4588 along with purchase of boxes & sundry items totalling £750. Our Cards for Care Scheme continues to grow at a managed pace by providing continual and oneoff funding to the most disadvantaged children in our area. In the last financial year funding had dropped to £384 compared to a more normal £5000. During 2020 there was a decrease in the funding of this charity’s objectives, the total going from £28481 in 2019 to £24598 in 2020. The largest cost-head for the year was again the investment made into building conversion at 16 Chapel Street to create the new Crash Pad facility. While the costs invested totals £127662 that cost is then capitalised in terms of the overall balance sheet value. The project was completed in early 2020 in time for the opening in February 2020. 7 In 2019 /2020 our overheads have increased from around £2500 per year to approximately £13,500 this is due to the increase in costs of insurance & utility costs. This leaves the Charity with net assets at 31[st] October 2020 of £654109 a decrease on 2019. It would be remiss of me to finish our annual financial report without expressing huge thanks to all those individuals who donate to us, whether that is a monthly donation or an individual one. We also benefited from a Covid grant & corporate grant from B&M. I have long said that the work of this charity can only be done to the extent we achieve with the kindness and generosity of our donors. Thank you. That concludes my financial report for the period ending 31 October 2020. Rachel Thompson Hon. Treasurer Bradford Cinderella Club June 2021 8 ## **A Special Message from the Lord Mayor of Bradford** It gives me enormous pleasure to offer my warmest Civic greetings to all at the Bradford Cinderella Club, as you meet once again to further your valuable work. The Cinderella Club – and its deserved place in the hearts of the people of this District – is unique. I look back over your long history of charitable work in Bradford with great pride, as I hope that you do. The restrictions imposed by the pandemic sadly mean that I cannot join you in person today, but that it no way dilutes the affection in which I, and many others, hold you and your work. You, as a charity, set out in 1890 with the welfare of Bradford’s children and young people at the very core of your being. With that passion came a determination to keep all your running costs low, so that as much of what you raised went to benefit those youngsters most in need. Across many generations, those in need of your help have benefited from your remarkable work, the tireless efforts of your magnificent volunteers and the great generosity of our local people and organisations. I hope that in the hurly burly of fundraising and the generally hectic nature of modern life, you never lose sight of the profound impact your efforts have on underprivileged children. I hope that you continue to carry out your sterling work for many more years and I wish to close by commending and congratulating you all in helping the district’s young people. **Councillor Shabir Hussain** **Lord Mayor of Bradford** July 2021 ## **Audited** **Accounts** **Period Ending 31 October 2020** Clwilv regisiration numbcr." 223444 Bradford Cinderella Club Annua] Report aiid Financul Statements for ihe YcaT Ended 31 oc10￿r 2020 lan Richards & Co (Lcedsl Limiied 9 Th¢ Cross Brainho Leeds LS16 9AX BrAdford CinderellA Club Contents Reference and AdllU'ntstrats"we Detai15 Trnstees, R¢port Staicm¢nt of Trllstees, Responsibilities Indcpendent Examiner's Report Statemenr of Financial ACtI￿ltI¢5 Balance Sheet Notes to thc FinanciaI Stat¢rncnts 7t014 Bradford Cinderella Club Reference And Administrative Details Trnstees Mr Terry Pearson Mr Jamcs SaTrqlle MrPaul Thompson Secretary Mr Cl￿15t￿p11¢r Ha)'d¢n Other Offjce Mr Ten) Pears0￿ Chaiman Ms Rac1￿1 Tliompson: Treagur¢r Principttl Office 16 Chapel Street Bradford BDI 5DL Charit) Registration Number 223444 Ballken CAF Bank Limited 25 KiTrg5 Hill Ai'enue W¢st Malling K¢nl ME194JQ Barclays Bank plc Idlc Brancli PO Boi 224 Bradford Accountants Richards & Co (Leeds) Liinited 9 The Cross Bramho LS16 9AX Page I Bradford Cinderella Club Trustees, Report Tlie trU￿eeS presenÉ th¢ annu91 rcport together with th¢ financi￿ statements of th¢ charily for tb¢ )¢ar cnded 3 1 October 2020.
