A key focus of the programme is encouraging young people to share and celebrate their cultural
heritages, particularly through music. One notable outcome has been the formation of an Afro-
Cuban Drumming Bloc, where participants combined live instruments such as keys, voice, guitar,
drums, and spoken word, to convey positive messages about the world through their unique
perspectlves. This collaborative effort has helped the yOLing people cultivate pride in thelr Identltles

contributlon of organisations in supporting the work-readiness of colle8e Students.

ACCESS
Acce55 budgets are allocated for all participatory programs to remove barriers faced by partlcipants,
particularly those impacted by poverty* low income, disability, or cultural excluslon.
CAN offers a free service to Its beneficiaries and actlvely works to engage individuals on the margins
of mainstream Society. Many of our beneficiaries come from low-income households or live in
poverty, with some experiencing or existing on the edge of destitution. As a result, they often face
significant stress and pressure related to these challenges. In response to the ongoing digital access
challenges, CAN continues to support its participants to ensure equal opportunities for engagement
in our programs.
EVALUATION AND REFLECTION
Evaluation has always been central to CAN'S ability to learn, developi innovate, and remain
accountable to all our stakeholders. We view evaluation as a collaborative and formative process
and an integral part of pro8ramme development that enables us to act with integrity. Over the past
year, despite ongoing challenges. CAN has continued to strengthen its robust monitoring and
evaluation processes. We use data as a vital learning tool and place a strong emphasis on
reflection both as an organisation and in collaboratiDn with OUK Stakeholders. This reflective
practice allows us to remain responsive, adaptive, and principled in the face of an ever-changing
social, political, and cultural landscape.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview
The charity's main source of funding in the year was in the form of grants for our charitable activities,
comprising 85% of CAN'S total income. Our Arts Council England grant made up 67% of income, and
other grants ir)cluded funding from Manchester City Council19UAI and Children in Need I8%1. Earned
income (providing fees for project servicesl contrlbuted IO%, and bank interest 5%.
The charity had unrestricted free reserves at 31st March 2025 of £67,145, a small increase relative to
the previous year. This p051tion 15 the result of successful funding bids and continued tlBht control of
costs, together with some staffing changes.
Investment powers and politv
The trustees have invested a proportion of funds in several intere5t-bearing aCCOLJnts Im05tly through
the Flagstone savings account platform). An appropriate level of cash needed for day-to-day activitie5
has been retalned.
Reserves policy and goinE concern
The management committee has examined CAN'5 requirement for reserves considering the main rlsks
to the organi5ation, it's contraclual oblieations and the planned future Erowth and development.
The trustees have established a policy whereby an amount equivalent to approximately 6 months
running costs should be held in reserves. The trustees consider that this level would provide sufficient
funds to maintain the organi5ation if it105t its core funding. For prudence reasons, they consider that

12
COMMUNITY ARTS NORTH WEST LTD.
this amount should be held as designated to ensure that it will be available if needed. At the year end,
this was calculated at £182,278.
The committee have further designated £75.000 of funds to ensure the continuation of activity in
2025-2026:
Staff development and support- £25,000
Strategic and fundraising support £30,000
Project development and delivery £20,1K)O
The total of designated funds at the year-end was therefore £257,278.
Funds held as free unrestricted reserves were £67,146. The trustees consider having this Cushion as
reasonable considering the current climate.
In line with our risk mitlgation strategy and our experience of the Covid-19 pandemic and the current
economic climate, these unrestricted funds may be allocated to shortfalls in funding to safeguard and
support the organisation to build resilience in changing circumstances. This will ensure that we can
provide conslstent and impactful work for our beneficiaries.
Our reserve levels and policy will be reviewed by the management committee on a quarterly basis.
The Trustees conslder that it is approprlate to prepare the accounts on a goinE concern basls and,
consequentlyj the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources
of income should cease.
The Board recognises that maintaining healthy reserves enables the company to take calculated risk5
to help generate future investment and occasionally assist the company's cash flow for those funders
that pay on receipt of expenditure invoices. It demonstrates good stewardship and financial
management to future potential funders.
Riskm3nagement
The charity continue5 to receive the greater part of its income from Arts Council England and
Manchester Clty Council which contribute towards the company's core costs, principally core salaries
and overheads. Remaining monies are raised from other public bodies, trusts and foundations, lottery
programmes, and earned income through the delivery of some partnership projects. A small number
of monies is also received via donations. A contribution of IO%-ISYo is also generally raised towards
the core costs of the company through project fundraising and some earned~income programmes.
The charity is highly reliant on the continuing support of grant-awarding bodies, trusts and
foundations and 15 aware that this funding has suffered a downturn in recent years in the charitable
giving and public furbding sector.
Plan5 for future perlods
CAN'S future focus 15 on 51X themes that reflect and build on our unique history, skills and expertise,
while embedding our value-led approach and responding to concerns. We believe a theme-based
