The objects of the charity are to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the area of the city of Leeds in the county of West Yorkshire known as New Wortley and the neighbourhood, without distinction of race, gender, sexual orientation, or of political, religious or other opinion, by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants and other organisations operating in the area, in a common effort to relieve poverty, to advance education and provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation, in particular to provide and secure the ongoing management and maintenance of a community centre, and to promote any other charitable objects beneficial to the community with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
## **The charity's main activities**
New Wortley Community Association is a community-led organisation that manages New Wortley Community Centre & Wellbeing Centre, based in the New Wortley area of Armley Ward in Leeds. We offer a wide range of services, projects and activities that aim to help local people living in our neighbourhoods to access what they need to live happy, healthy lives.
Our Mission is to listen to local people, building on strengths and working together innovatively to co-produce opportunities for our communities to flourish. Local people are empowered to give and receive support that enables them to progress along positive life pathways in a way that is right for them.
Our Values:
Empowerment – We will support local people to be confident in making informed decisions as individuals and as communities
Innovation – We will not be afraid to “think outside to box” or challenge the “status quo”
Inclusion – Reducing barriers – We want everyone to feel welcome, respected, supported and valued
Kindness – We will treat everyone with care and compassion
Joy – We will celebrate success and all that brings happiness within our communities
Sustainability – We will seek to find long term solutions that bring lasting positive change for our communities
We are a lead partner of the Armley Community Anchor Network (ACAN) and our CEO is a member of the citywide Leeds Community Anchor Network. ACAN is a collective of 7 community partners who work as a team to deliver projects and services which support the people of Armley to live happy, healthy, thriving lives. We aim to ensure our communities have more equity, influence, and ownership of the neighbourhoods they live and work in. Successful projects have included a coordinated response to provide warm spaces across Armley and a “cost of living” directory of support available across Armley to help our communities access what they needed to navigate the cost of living crisis.
New Wortley Community Association continues to hold the Household Support Funding pot for Armley administered in partnership with Voluntary Action Leeds and distributes across a number of partners to support their delivery. Projects delivered by New Wortley Community Association include our Food Store recipe packs project and Food Marketplace as well as distributing Hygiene Products as a members of the Hygiene Bank and taking part in the city-wide Uniform Exchange and Winter Coat schemes.
We continue to deliver our National Lottery project, Building Blocks which has received continuation for a further three years and will enable the team to continue to address personal issues our community face on a day-today basis (financial struggles, health inequalities, access to meaningful training/volunteering and employment opportunities or to access social groups that help reduce social isolation and support positive health and wellbeing.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
Continuation funding was secured to ensure continued delivery of our key projects:
Building Blocks - Addressing personal issues our community face on a day-to-day basis (financial struggles, health inequalities, access to meaningful training/volunteering and employment opportunities or to access social groups that help reduce social isolation and support positive health and wellbeing.
Offender Support Team - a “through the gate” service working with ex-offenders, helping them to initially rehabilitate into the community.
New Wortley Counselling Service - a one-to-one counselling services supporting local people registered with an Armley based GP practice funded by the integrated care board.
Asset Based Community Development – working in our neighbourhoods in locally led projects celebrating what is strong, not wrong in our communities .
New Wortley Community Association also delivered a West Yorkshire Combined Authority funded project to set up an Active Travel Hub across Armley. As a result of this project we delivered a programme of Adult cycling lessons, children’s bike sessions as part of our successful Healthy Holidays programme and set up two new walking groups (a women’s only group and a health walk group supporting those with limited mobility. We also worked with the local community to produce an Active Travel booklet detailing a range of local walks and cycle routes for all abilities to enjoy.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to prevention or relief of poverty and the advancement of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
## **Achievements and performance**
Over the past twelve months New Wortley Community Association has continued with its commitment to support our local community embracing asset based community development methodology. It has been a year of consolidation building on our previous rapid expansion of our provision during the pandemic. There have been some exciting opportunities to explore too and we continue to seek out opportunities that fit within our strategic objectives whilst remaining cautious in these uncertain times of national austerity.
## **Armley CAN (Community Anchor Network)**
The last year has seen several third sector organisations come together across New Wortley and Armley to support each other and work collaboratively for the benefit of our communities. As Armley CAN (Armley Community Anchor Network) this collaboration has strengthened relationships and has resulted in coordinated approaches to projects such as warm spaces, food distribution and community engagement exercises. We also produced a directory of services provided by partners in response to the cost of living crisis which has been distributed not only to anchor partners but to other local organisations and statutory partners.
## **Other achievements**
We secured repeat funding for a further three years from the National Lottery for our Building Blocks project (£361,341) The project addresses health inequalities experienced by local people on a day-to-day basis such as poverty/low income, health and wellbeing, social isolation, access to training/volunteering and employment opportunities. The project helps to support local people who feel unsure of where to turn, how to improve things, gain knowledge and experience, socialise and improve their lives and prospects in some way.
## **Active Travel**
We set up an Active Travel Hub funded by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and City Connect. This was a twelve months project empowering local communities and visitors to embrace the benefits of walking, cycling and all other forms of active travel.

## New Wortley Community Association Limited
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024
At the heart of our initiative lies accessibility and inclusivity aiming to make active travel available to everyone. As well as accessible walking routes and guided walks for all abilities, we also provided help with access to bike loans and bike lessons for different levels and abilities, from total beginners to those wanting to get back on their bikes. We also produced a booklet detailing local walks, nature trails and cycle routes.
## **Children, Young People and Families**
We have continued our focus on family support and provision for children and young people and delivered four weeks of Healthy Holidays activities over the summer holidays which fed over 350 children. We engaged 45 new families and engaged in conversations around play, our services and support and what else is needed in the community.
We delivered 4 community engagement days (including a festival day of play)
A day at the seaside
- A day at the circus
A day in the woods Day of play at New Wortley Festival Family Trip to Scarborough
We engaged over 500 people across the summer events and this has led to setting up a parents and careers steering group that will help with future funding ideas and activities.
We are also a partner of the West Leeds Youth Consortium and the multi agency youth project launched at Armley Leisure Centre which has been attended by in excess of thirty children and young people every week.
## **Development of local green space – Jaily Field (Oak Road Recreation ground).**
Our local green space, Oak Road Recreation Ground locally known as Jaily Field continues to be a priority in terms of increasing its accessibility, use and safety. We have been working closely with Leeds City Council Parks and Countryside staff, the Safer Stronger Communities team at Leeds City Council, NWCA Youth Board and New Wortley residents group to carry out a community consultation to determine what the local community want to see and what would encourage them to utilise the space. We are now in a position to seek funding for a children’s play park .
## **Neighbourhood Matching project**
Along with other community partners we have also delivered a new Neighbourhood matching project. Neighbourhood matching is a model adopted from Seattle focussing on community volunteering and social value. Our ABCD Community Builder ran a series of sessions engaging the local community in identifying key themes that they wanted to get involved in. Improving the environment was the most common theme which resulting in the creation of a ‘Corridor of Colour’ between New Wortley and Armley Town Street with an abundance of flower beds, handing baskets and wildflower areas making the community look bright and colourful.
## **Black History Month**
We delivered a series of events to celebrate Black History Month throughout October. These included a Caribbean cooking masterclass, an arts based workshop, a black history walk and a spoken word workshop. These events have led onto further development of the support we offer to our diverse communities, in particular our conversation café supporting local women to improve their maths and english skills and to help them gain meaningful employment or volunteering opportunities.
## **Plans for future periods**
We continue to build trusted relationships with diverse communities living in New Wortley and are exploring a pilot project to help local people move into meaningful volunteering and employment opportunities. Projects will focus on how we help remove barriers currently faced including improving maths, english and digital skills and some 1-2-1 coaching support on applying for jobs and developing the skills needed to move into employment.

Another priority for the organisation will be to invest in our buildings to ensure that we are able to accommodate increased capacity. This will include plans to develop out outside area and potentially provide an outdoor classroom space.
We will continue to fight for investment in our local green space, Jailey Field and are working with a number of partners to secure funding for a play park. This will act as a catalyst for further investment to ensure local people have a safer, inclusion space to enjoy.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £82,587, including net expenditure of £22,687 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £59,900 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The board of trustees reviewed and confirmed its reserves policy in August 2019 aiming to hold 3 months of unrestricted expenditure in reserve in order to enable the smooth running of the charity and to allow for an orderly winding up should the charity need to close. Prudent financial controls are in place to ensure that the organisation operates within the requirement of this policy and progress is reviewed monthly and reported on at monthly board meetings. This would equate to approximately £140,000.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £171,032.
In the light of the difficult and uncertain economic climate, New Wortley Community Association reviewed and amended its reserves policy in December 2023 aiming to hold between 3 to 6 months of annual expenditure plus an amount of £25,000 in order to ensure its ability to be able to fund any unforeseen building work and to ensure the smooth running of the charity and to allow for an orderly winding up should the charity need to close.

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of New Wortley Community Association Limited
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 19.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
