ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Mission Hub
This is the third year of the operation of the new Leeds Cty Mission Hub. It includes LCM Administrative
Office, Meeting Space, Charity Shop, Christian Book & Card Booth and Pantry Project Ifoodbank}. All
areas of work located in the Hub have continued to see a slow 2nd incremental growth pattern during the
year.
In the middle of 2024 Dagmar Truman brought her fourteen years of service with Leeds City Mission to
conclusion. Sinclair Martin succeeded her as the new Hub Manager on 3 November being responsible for
activities within the Hub viz.. Charity Shop, Christian Book & Card Booth and Pantry Project. A new part-
time Retail Assistsnl also commenced in the Autumn.
Charity Shop
The charity shop project operates in a section of the new Mission Hub. It opened on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays each week). It also opened on Saturday mornings in the four weeks before Christmas.
The charity shop has an informal role as a listening and counselling centre as visitors and volunteers
unburden themselves. Relationships are established lo share the hope of the gospel for those who are
struggling with life. LCM staff and volunteers are finding many opportunities to share the gospel in word
and deed. Some grants of clothing were made to needy individuals and groups in desperate need. Work
experience was provided for those wanting to gel back into work. The project has been able lo help people
in recovery from ill health, addiction and mental health issueg by providing work experience and personal
support. Surplus funds have been generated lo assist the work of the Mission. Various churches and
individuals have donated clothing, bric a brac and household items lo this project enabling sufficient stock
levels in the shop. New display layouts have been experimented in the shop during the latter half of the
year.

Pantry Project
The LCM Hub is the distribution base for the Pantry Project. Surplus free food was sourced from Aldi,
Tesco and Sainsbury supermarkets. Supporting churches have also made food donations especially
during the harvest festival season. All donations are regularly collected and delivered lo the Hub. The food
IS Used for needy visitors
many struggling on slate benefits as well as homeless visitors in need of
sustenance. Grants of food were also made to churches in Leeds who are seeking lo help people in need
in their own locality.
In 2024- 548 trays ofsurplus short shelf Ilfe food were received from high street supermarkets (Aldi, Tesco,
Sainsburyl. In addition, 2102 individual items were donated by shoppers through the in-slore 'front of
house, donation boxes as follows- AldN
1, 634 items, Sainsbury- 468 items.
Volunteers have operated Pantry Projeot Sessions at the Mission Hub running concurrently with the Charity
Shop & Christian Book & Card Booth. The 548 trays of food (largely short shelf life food) were received
from supermarketslolhers and these were distributed to people in need or used in food grants to assist
churches in their caring aclwilies. This increase is over double of the amount received and distributed
compared with last year. 209 food parcels were given out to 62 different individuals in 2024. 196 foodbank
sessions were operated in the same period of lime. Thus an approximate average of 3 tray5 of short shelf
life food plus 1 food parcel were given out every session the FoodbanklHub were open. All donated items
were put to good use by LCM volunteers who made up food parcels distributed them in the name of Jesus
helping some struggling families living on the edge to make end5 meet. Some snacks were provided lo
homeless people, olhers-in-recovery from addiction and mental health issues plus other needy people
referred lo LCM.
In 2024, the Charity Shop, Christian Book & C8rd Booth and the Pantry Projeot have been a place of
engagement touching a variety of people through practical help, a word in season for the Ltsrd.
¢onversation. prayer or literature provided.
Christian Book & Card Booth
The Christian Book & Gard BiX>th is an adjunct lo the charity shop project and il serves a role as a
resourcing base for basic literature for churches and individuals in Leeds. Shelves and display units stock
imited range of books, bibles, cards and gifts. Donations of good second hand Christian books have
been received from individual supporters. A generous grant of new books and Bibles was received from
the 1 OoffhosePublishers al the end of 2023 and sales of this stock has been slow bul worthwhile as the
year progressed. AppToximately 1000 general and seasonal greetings cards (all with scripture texts} plus
a range of books and bibles were sold lo the publiG by the end of the year.
300A of the display shelves are designated to the sale of new books and bibles. The rest of the displays
rnarkel second hand Christian books. There has been a slow momentum in sales- however it is increasing.
Slow growth in takeup is most probably due lo a number of reasons. Disposable income is low in inner
city areas which is exactly the geographical Context in which the City Mission Hub is located. Also the City
Mission Hublchristian Eook & Card Booth profile has yel to become a prominent feature on the City's
christian landscape. A bargain book sale thrust was part of our LCM Praise Events in June & September.
Bibles have been sold to a number of customers. African and other people from different ethnic minorities
seem lo be the majority cohort of purchasers of bibles. This reflects the concentration of immigrants found
in such an inner city area as Armley and the proliferation of black majority churches operating in deprived
areas.
In July 2024 - 406 copie5 of the Scripture Union book Ils Your Move were distributed to Year 6 leavers al
seven primary schools in partnership with Leeds area ehurches.
Al christmas LCM facilitated the supply of 1300 copies ofthe Living Word Colour Gospel Calendars. These
were distributed either direct from the Christian Book & Card Booth or via orders from local ehurches in
the city.
The initiative lo retail both Real Easter Eggs and RealAdvent Calendars proved to be successful after last
yea¢s pilot projects. The sale of 72 Real Easter Eggs and 72 Real Advent Calendars was facililaled.
These innovative eggs and calendars an excellent gift- they follow the biblical seasonal story, they include
an illuslraled booklet about easterlnalivity, are fairtrade chocolate and a percentage of the cost goes lo
medical pro1￿lS in Africa.

A quantity of used christian books surplus to the requirements of LCM were donated lo Book Aid during
the course of the year.
In a small way Leeds City Mission is addressing the need for a physical retail outlet for christian books and
greetings cards for churches in the Greater Leeds area.
WlnterProjects
Warm Space Project
This project ran in January, February and March resurning in November and Decembei. A lolal of 58
sessions were provided and allracted 139 visits from people who stayed for warmth, refreshment, chal
and fellowship in these periods of time. These sessions offered a free, warrn and welcoming place lo be
for people struggling with limited income, increasing living costs and life in general. A financial grant was
received from a I￿al Community Association which covered costs of operating this project.
Christmas Kids Gift Project
135 toys and gifts were received for the annual Chnstmas Kids Gift Project this year_ This was a slight
decrease of 10% on last yearfs total. These came from a variety of sources including supermarkets,
churches and businesses. LCM were able lo distribute these lo identified familie5 in need. Where
approprkgte, the children's nativity bible story books accompanied the gffts.
Christmas Grft Tags Project
7978 Christmas gift lags were created from 3854 used greetings cards by volunteers. This was a 351)
increase on last year. These were freely distributed to churches, LCM supporters, Gharty shop customers
and the general public during December.
Holly Spr￿8
50 sprigs of holly were distributed as christmas decorations to the general public in mid December.
Chaplaincy Servlces
Chaplaincy work at both HMP Leeds & Wetherby Young Offenders Institute has Gonlinued this year. The
chaplain is undertaking cell visitation. chapel services, one-to￿ne counselling and work with small groups
of inmates on both siles. This is a challenging and demanding role bul provides many opportunities to
bring gospel hope lo inmates who have broken lives. At Christmas a seasonal Leeds City Mission project
enabled LCM Chaplain to make a small gift to 60 prisoners in HMP Leeds. A pair of socks. a chocolate
bar, plus a small book containing the story of a reformed prisoner were included in the gift pack.
Care Home Chaplaincy has continued this year with the LCM Dislriel Visitor assisting in fegular services
at a Care Home in north Leeds.
Direct Outreach Work
Changing circumstances, availability of volunteers and olhei factors meant that the weekly'slreel Session,
came lo the end of its season during the course of the year. It was replaced by a new initiative- a Tuesday
Evening 'Drop in, se55i0n based at the Hub was commenced seeking to capitalise on the good will and
relationships engendered by the work of the charity shop and foodbank. This is facililaled by staff worker
Tayo Olayinka and has an emphasis on developing relationships with people visiting the Centre.
Meeting Spa¢9
LCM wa5 able lo support a local church by making ils premises available for a monthly church outreach
meeting of Redeemer Church Leeds between January - April inclusive. From the summer onward5 It was
used to host the monthly meeting of Prison Fellowship
Supporting Thg Llfe & Development of Local Churche$
LCM was able lo organise three 'Praise Events, in 2024 providing networking and support opportunities
for churches throughout the city.
Two 'Support&rs Luncheons & Open Afternoons, were organised at the LCM Hub on 29 June and 21
September with 52 and 54 supporters allending respectively on these days. These proved to be popular
especially for older people without their own transport (they could travel by bus} and who are reluclanl lo
come out to an event in the evening. For the Christmas Event 56 supporters and their friends galheied in
the hall at New Whingale Methodist Church in West Leeds on 7 Decernber for the 'lts No Illusion,
Christmas Praise gathering. Supporters from fifteen churches from the Grealei Leeds area were able lo
enjoy an evening of entertainment. encouragement, fellowship and inspiration.
These events provide opportunities to connect with churches, raise the Mission's profile with the wider
christian community and local neighbourhood. They are also playing a growing role in encourage inter-
church fellowship. Believers from small struggling churches often attend these events and find them an

oasis of encouragement in their difficult circumstances. These Praise Events average a representation of
around 20 different churches from the Greater Leeds area. A lotsl of 31 different churches representing
14 different denominations were represented 21 these Praise Events in 2024.
Literature sales from the Christian Book & Card Booth helped lo resource local churches with bibles,
christian books, greetings cards and other helpful materials in print and DVD format. This project by LCM
is slowly growing and serves an important role as there is now no physical retail oullel for the purchase of
hristian literature in the whole of Greater Leeds
Four editions of the newsletter Life4Leeds were printed and circulated bringing encouragement and
support to local churches. This has an estimated readership of around 600. Several thousands of
Christmas gift lags were provided for churches and supporters lo use. LCM was able to retain links with
around 40 different churches and 8 organisations through this year.
Publicity
In addition lo the publication of the newsletter Life4Leeds , a total of 16 newspaper articles about City
Mission work were published in the West Leeds Dispatch during 2024. This is a daily on-line newspaper

recognised g8lns and b$ses, unless il reverses a charge for impaimienl that has previously been
ognised as expendllure withln the stat&menl of financial 8¢tivilies. A decre8se in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other re¢ognised gains and lossey,
except to whi¢h it offsets any previous revaluation gain. In which case the loss is shown within
other Tecognised gains and108ses on the stslement of finan¢ral actlvllle5.
Impaimient of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impaimient 18 carrled out at each reporting d*. with the reGoverable
amount being estim8ted where suth indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the ￿et Is Impaired accordlngly. Prior Impairments are al￿ reviewed for
possible reversal at each reptsrtin9 date.
For the purposes of irnpairment tesung. when it is llot posslble lo estimate the rgcoverab
amounl of an indivldual assel. an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating to which the asset belongs. The ￿$h-generating unil is the sm8llest identffiable
group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash infkwjs that Sargely independent of the
cash innows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairmènt testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a buslness combinatr'on ts, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected 10 benefit from
the synergies of the combination, iffespe¢twe of whether othw assets or liabilities of the Char￿Y
are 35signed to those units.

consideration expected to be paid or receiv￿ and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequenlty me88u￿d at amortised cosL
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value Gan otherwise be me05ured
reliably. the Investment is subsequently measured ot far value with changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. All other such Investm6nls are subsequenJy measured at
cost less Impalmient.
Other financial inslrumenls, including derivallves. are initially recognlsed al fair vaue, unless
payment for an asset is defe￿ed beyond normal IxJsines5 tenThs or financed at a rate of inteffjst
that is not a market rate, in whith the asset is rneasured at the present value of Ihe flrture
payments discountèd at a market rate of interest for a similar debt Instrumenl.

Financial instruments {conth¥￿?
Financi818ssets that are measured at cost or amortis¢d cost are reviewed for objectwe eNidence
of impaimienl al the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of Impairment, an
impalrment Soss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the ststement of financial
actlvlties in which the Inillal gain wa5 rewJnised.
For all equity instruments regardless of sionllic3nce, and other financial assets that are
individually signifiGanl, these are assessed individually for In7paimient. Other financial assets are
either assessed indwidually or grouped on thè basis of similar credlt risk ¢haTaclerislics.
Any revgrsals of impaimient ale recognised immediately, lo the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the c8rrying arftount would
havé been had the impaiment not previously been recogni5ed.

Contributions lo defined contribution plans aff recognisod as an expense In the perSod in which

When contribullons are not expected to be settked wholly within 12 m(￿thS of the erxl of the
reporting date in whlch the omployees render the related seNice, the liability is measured on
discounted present value basis. The unwlndlng of the discount is recwnisgd as an expense in
