## **The charity's objects**
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.
## **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**
The Third Sector continues to face ongoing challenges around funding. There is less funding around and many projects continue to be funded at previous levels or even face cuts. Despite this we have continued to ensure that our work aligns with the ongoing needs or our community and we have continued to seek out opportunities to develop our work based on the feedback we receive from our service users and via the various listening exercises we have carried out.
New additions to our programme have included a New Wortley History Group, Knitting & Crochet group and Brew Monday – an informal cuppa and chat session for adults. We also launched Mens Pie Club in partnership with Zest which has proved particularly popular.
Several new opportunities presented themselves to NWCC this year which has allowed us to continue to develop our programme supporting local people.
## **New Wortley Community Pantry**
In January 2025 our food support programme transitioned into a community pantry model enabling local people to access affordable food and save money on their weekly shop. NWCC became a member of the FoodSavers Network which enables members to open a Credit Union saving accounts with £1 of the weekly pantry membership being paid into the account.
Demand has been high with over 90 membership issued in the first few months. Feedback has been extremely positive and we are looking to introduce an element of cultural food in the pantry offering going forward.
## **Centre for Warmth**
In partnership with Northern Gas Networks we launched our Centre for Warmth project in February 2025. The project aims to support individuals and families to stay warm and reduce rising costs and household bills.
Support available via the Centre for Warmth includes: Energy efficiency awareness to combat fuel poverty Assistance with energy bill management Carbon Monoxide awareness and CO alarm distribution Enrolment on the Priority Service Register Money management and benefits advice Tips for cooking nutritious meals efficiently. Social group activities to reduce isolation Distribution of energy-saving appliance
## **The HOPE Project (Help with Opportunities to Prepare for Employment)**
The HOPE project aims to support people local people from diverse communities to enhance their education, digital skills, employability & confidence. The project supports and empowers people to identify job or volunteering opportunities, write applications, prepare for interviews, complete training and build skills to move closer to the job market.
The project was developed as an outcome of the Good Jobs, Better Health, Fairer Futures community listening exercise in partnership with Leeds City Council. 100% Digital provided funding to up-grade our IT Suite and provide laptops for service users and Leeds City Council Employment & Skills provide a member of their team each week to support our Diverse Communities Support Worker deliver the project.
## **UKSPF Listening Exercise**
Throughout 2024/25 the Armley Community Anchor Network (ACAN) carried out a community listening exercise asking a series of asset based questions to determined what is good about living in the Armley and what could be better. Themes identified were community safety and policing, support for children and young people and the development of local green spaces.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Achievements and performance continued**
One of the outcomes of the exercise has been the formation of Team Armley Youth Voice – a project bringing together children and young people accessing youth provision at NWCC and students from Dixon’s Unity Academy to form a ollective voice to ensure the voices of young people are heard at the “top table” of citywide decision makers.
## **Children and Young People’s provision**
Our Healthy Holidays programme was hugely successful providing activities, trips and healthy meals to local children during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays. Trips included Skelton Grange Environmental Centre, Flip Out Bradford, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Bridlington and the pantomime at Carriageworks Leeds.
Children from Holy Family and St Bartholomew’s primary schools attended Christmas themed treasure hunts as part of the programme and enjoyed hot chocolate and marshmallows.
We secured some funding from the Flint Family Fund to deliver a project called “Its all about you” focussing on supporting young people with self-care, self esteem and confidence, being more active and positive mental health.
## **Premises Improvements**
Following some investment from the Armley elected members we continue to invest in our buildings ensuring their longevity to support our community. The main hall has been decorated and the floor in the main hall was replaced. We have also undertaken work to re-design the layout of the trees in the outside area.
Investment has also taken place in ensuring the electrics are in working order and compliant with regulatory standards.
## **Community Events**
We continue to deliver a programme of community events which included:
Christmas Extravaganza – Attended by over 300 local people who hosted an evening event with a Santa’s grotto, Victorian carol singers, a host of stalls and festive food and drink
## **Improvements to Jaily Field**
Working in partnership with Leeds City Council Stronger Safer Communities team and Veolia Environmental and the NWCC Youth Board, funding was secured for the installation of the long awaited play park on local green space, Jaily Field. We hosted a grand opening of the play park in October 2025 with a Halloween Treasure Hunt followed by a Halloween themed party at the community centre.
## **New Wortley Festival**
Our annual festival continues to play a crucial role in our strategy to celebrate all that is great about living in our local community. The festival was attended by over 400 people coming together to enjoy food, entertainment and family activities.
## **HOPE IT Suite**
The Lord Mayor, Cllr Abigail Marshall Katung visited the centre in January 2025 to formerly open our new IT Suite funded by 100% digital. The event brought together members of the local community from a wide range of cultures to celebrate the launch of the HOPE project.
## **EID Celebration**
To celebrate the end of Eid the centre hosted a celebration where community members were invited to bring food from their cultures and share stories and experiences of celebrating eid as a community.

## **Achievements and performance continued**
## **Armley CAN**
The Armley Community Anchor Network (ACAN) continues to work collectively for the benefit of Armley residents. Two new members joined the network this year – West Leeds ARLFC and Sri Guru Nanak Temple. The network delivered a coordinated response to supporting local people access emergency or affordable food via a number of projects. Armley also provided Welcome Spaces at New Wortley Community Centre, Christ Church, Upper Armley, Leeds City Mission and Dixons Unity Community project.
## **New Wortley Community Centre Newsletter**
We launched a quarterly newsletter in Autumn 2024 which is distributed to all properties in the New Wortley area as well as to partners and local businesses. This has added to our profile locally and is a great way of keeping local people up to date with what the centre has to offer. We have also worked closely with local newspaper, West Leeds Dispatch throughout the year to promote our community events.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £1,445, including net expenditure of £10,169 on unrestricted funds and net income of £8,724 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
New Wortley Community Association reviewed and confirmed its reserves policy in December 2023 aiming to hold between 3 and 6 months of expenditure in order to ensure 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, including quarterly meetings of the financial sub-committee and progress is reviewed at least bi-monthly and reported on at board meetings.
The board of trustees also agreed that £25,000 of the total reserves would be ring-fenced as a contingency fund to cover any emergency building work that may need to be carried out.
This would equate to having policy limits of approximately £163,750 and £302,500.
The charity's total reserves were £868,288, of which £103,456 relates to restricted funds. Within the remaining funds, £594,685 was the value of tangible fixed assets. This leaves a balance of £170,147 free reserves.
## **Plans for the future**
NWCA plans to continue its current activities in the forthcoming year subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
In addition to these plans we are looking at how we maximise the usefulness of the land on which our buildings stand. We would like to develop this area to include an additional facility to the use of children and young people living in our community. This space would enable us to deliver additional support and services for them to help them reach their full potential.
We would also like to build upon the work we have started supporting diverse communities in our neighbourhoods. In particular how we support local people acquire the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to move them closer to the job market or to secure meaningful employment.
## **Expression of thanks**
We would like to express our sincere thanks to our dedicated staff team, volunteers, other members of our community and Armley CAN partners who continue to help support our work. We would also like to thank our funders for their support and belief in the impact of our work over the past 12 months.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025
## **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 2025, which are set out on pages 9 to 20.
## **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.
