Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17th October 2005, accepted as a charity by HM Revenue & Customs under reference number XR44321 and registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland on 1st April 2016 under charity number NIC104883. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which states the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Objectives and activities
The charitable purpose of the company is: The advancement of community development in Northern Ireland (the “area of benefit”) and in particular the promotion of the community and voluntary sector for the benefit by providing services, training, support, information, facilities and amenities to community and voluntary groups and encouraging and assisting such groups and organisations to co-operate to achieve their aims.
(1) To develop the capacity and skill of residents of communities in the area of benefit that suffer social and economic disadvantage, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet their needs and participate more fully in society.
(2) The advancement of health and well-being.
(3) To promote good community relations, religious and racial harmony and equality and diversity.
(4) To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
CRUN was established in September 1999 as a network of local community and voluntary groups with the aim of enabling regeneration and encouraging sustainability in local communities through community development processes. The network has worked tirelessly since it was established and currently has a database of over 240 organisations with more coming forward every year. Many changes have taken place over the years and CRUN currently implements a range of training and mentoring programmes in Community Development, Good Relations, Substance Misuse Education and Prevention and Positive Mental Health and encourages an ethos of collaborative working and sustainability to all of its members. Programmes and projects are delivered based on evidence and identified need within the Causeway Coast and Glen’s area.
The charity's trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
CRUN has maintained a level of funded projects to enable the organisation to continue to support the community within the Causeway area. We have adapted our way of working, since the global pandemic and now have a hybrid way of connecting and also engaging with individuals and community groups in the area. However, more groups and participants are wanting to return to 'in person' events.
The continued support from the Department of Communities has enabled CRUN to retain its core staff to oversee the current projects, as listed below, and apply for further funding to 'Empower People Develop Communities Enable Change'
During 2024/25 the projects have adapted and continued to excel within the communities that they support. During the last 12 months the Youth Empowerment And Resilience (YEAR) Project has finished this had been funded by the National Lottery since 2013.
The YEAR Project, funded by National Lottery Community Fund has been funded since 1 April 2013 and has offered a range of activities. A summary of the key activities that have been undertaken with the young people are:
New young people have been signing up since September 2023, all young people experiencing low self esteem and confidence, anxiety, isolation and loneliness. All young people now coming are also dealing with autism and/or ADHD and/or other learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, however overall contact positive and regular for most young people.
l Youth Led Group Activities
¡ Non screen gaming spaces as some of the young people had reported wanting to get
off screens - this created space for group chats and space to get to know each other
and the staff and volunteer. Character design and campaigns - this built personal
development, confidence and teamwork
¡ Creative Spaces
Talks on blacksmithing, herbal remedies, the Now Group and a new youth project starting
soon (Brian from CAN), Vinyl cutting and t-shirt printing, 3d model printing and painting
¡ Young People, Housing and Hidden Homelessness Interactive Training Events
¡ Study Spaces to support young people with journalling, budgeting, CV building and
job/training course searches
l Unaccredited Training
¡ Herbal remedies, mixed media art and design, glass art and copper foiling
l One to one support
¡ As and when requested by young people, most support given through group work
sessions 2-3hrs, 4-7 sessions per week.
l FareShare Project
¡ In response to an identified need of service users we have continued the FareShare
Project in place with a focus on reducing food waste to remove stigma of young people using a food bank. FareShare supports approximately 15-30 people per week.
l Partnerships & Community activities
¡ Supporting loneliness and isolation research carried out by Noel Wilson through
network through University of Ulster, assisted Noel with presentations throughout the Young People Housing and Hidden Homelessness Interactive Training sessions.
¡ To support lifestyle, social and economic independence and inclusion for young people
liaising with
¡ Links Counselling
¡ Jobs & Benefits
¡ NRC
¡ University of Ulster
¡ N.I. Anti-Poverty Network
Referrals and Signposting - Links Counselling, BRAKE, Triangle Housing, Jobs & Benefits, NRC Throughout the project cycle over 150 people have had direct contact with YEAR
The FareShare scheme has continued to be a great asset to many young people and their support networks. The scheme has allowed YEAR to support young people and their families during the cost-of-living crisis. Everything from weekly food packages to ensuring young families had enough over Christmas to be able to afford heat, electricity, presents for children and food instead of having to choose between presents and food. Parents of young people are supported through the FareShare scheme which decreases the amount of stress in the family home making home life more manageable for both the young people and their support networks. The pop in facility in Room One also provides a safe space for young people to call in to when they just feel the need to have a bit of their own space.
The Brake Project has worked directly with 19 young people since 1 April 2021. We have been able to offer a variety of support to the participants who are engaging including; small group training sessions, 1:1 training sessions, group activity sessions and fortnightly 1:1 goal setting / review sessions.
Group Training Sessions - Groups sessions have offered the participants an opportunity to interact with peers and to develop their skills and qualifications
1:1 Training sessions - 1:1 sessions have been provided to participants who feel unable to engage in group sessions.
Group Activity Sessions - This quarter group activity sessions have included weekly gym sessions, cookery and community project development.
Team Building Activity - We have offered a range of team building activities this quarter which have included The Chocolate Factory and the Cinema.
1:1 Support Sessions - These sessions are completed on a fortnightly basis and take place in local coffee shops, walks on the beach.
A new funded BRAKE project stated on 1 Jan 25 and will run for 12 months, they will engage 15 young people and already have these recruited.
The Fresh Start programme funded through Department for Communities 66 women regularly attending across three sites, Ballysally, Killowen and Central Coleraine. All women are recruited from areas of high deprivation and there is evidence of paramilitary behaviour or community tension. All three areas have low numbers of women in community leadership roles.
All the women in the group have linked their volunteering projects to social action. In Ballysally it is about the reduction of household debt and increasing the skills base of their membership through organising community events where food poverty is at the fore of the agenda. Volunteers in the group organised two successful Christmas and Easter Events with 400 people attending. Volunteers from the group prepared and served refreshments, dressed up as Mrs Santa and Elves, organised fundraising stalls including a Tombola and Raffle and conducted the event risk assessments, liaised with suppliers and facilitators of events and the local council for the necessary permissions to hold the event.
Killowen have focused on the environment and green health, as in their area, few houses have gardens as they are laid out in terraces. Women have been volunteering in their community garden and are also organising social and leisure activities for local pensioners including Bingo and a Beetle Drive. This has involved risk assessments, collecting prizes, advertising the events and organising and volunteering at the events. This has built confidence in the group's ability to continue and sustain
the progress they have developed so far.
The Coleraine Group have been honing their crafting skills, organised and delivered workshops to members of the community to build up their facilitation and leadership skills. The group completed risk assessments, organised refreshments, advertised the sessions and organised and delivered them. They will continue to build on the work they have delivered to date.
Community capacity building has been built on the women completing a series of tasks including achieving first aid and food hygiene certificates, learning how to organise an event, completing all of the safety protocols and advertising the event which then involves social media and digital skills. This type of action-based learning has resulted in a real level of confidence having been developed and skills embedded in the local community.
Good Relations Workshops took place with all three groups with a focus on heritage and how impacts in the 20th Century continue to impact us today. We examined the history of Coleraine in terms of its formation as part of the plantation and how it has been impacted geographically as it straddles east and west of the River Bann. We organised two study visits to Crumlin Road Gaol and the Titanic Centre in Belfast and organised heritage walks with local volunteers to study the history and development of of the town. Programme participants also looked at their own history including how the decade of centenaries impact their own families.
Money matters workshops were a key element of the programme as vulnerability to debt can leave women and families vulnerable to moneylenders and debt collection. We examined the connection between emotional state and impulsive financial behaviours and learned how to budget for household expenses and seasonal activities like Christmas.
In August 23 we started the HELP Project which is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, with initial project set up - conceptual meetings, establishing referral partners and referral pathways, forward planning/consultations, advertising/branding. Programmes were open for referrals in late September and classes were rolled out from October 2023. In 2024 to 2025 we have continued to develop the programme, beneficiaries and local relationships. We have developed a programme of activities including yoga, chair exercise, creative writing, crafting, painting, textile art, social choir, knitting and crochet. We also delivered goal setting, life coaching, pain management, and personal development programmes. We had a programme of walks which we are further developing in year three. Our condition management programme included alternative therapies, nutrition, nature and well-being, mindfulness, sleep hygiene and breath workshops.
Each quarter we developed and delivered a new and varied programme with more emphasis on building social connection, increasing skills and building social esteem. We started a social choir as this is a great outlet for expressing emotion and creating fellowship. We have also organised more social activities including walks and small social occasions.
During this time personal plans were formulated with engaging participants and tailored opportunities identified to provide support on their wellness journey. Signposting was also offered to those who needed guidance outside of the HELP programme.
Staff continued to develop wellness plans with the engaging participants both individually as well as in a group setting.
Community Wellbeing Ambassadors have been able to use their experience to shape the path of the programmes. They have drawn on personal experience, having been in a similar position themselves. Their knowledge of - the barriers to engage has been beneficial in attracting and retaining a good number of participants in Year 1 and Year 2 and we will continue to develop this in Year 3.
Steering Group - the Steering Group are heavily involved and feed in what gaps in service they see when trying to place patients into relevant supports within a community setting. There are plans in Year 3 is to build on the service we have been offering in Bushmills and to expand to other areas.
Participants who have engaged with the programme are encouraged to feedback and their one to ones at the achievement of each milestone. This year we are adding further nutrition and wellness element to our programme including guest speakers who will focus on pain management, sleep, neuro plasticity, life coaching and goal setting.
A total of 141 beneficiaries have taken part in the project to date.
Suicide Prevention/Mental Health Community Development Support small grants provided much needed support to 10 community organisations/groups and helped over 200 beneficiaries and numerous volunteers. Some of the activities included in the grant applications have been for people and communities to connect and socialise again in a safe environment. The Community based Suicide Prevention Development Officer's (SPDO) is a joint community resource between CRUN and NACN with the aim of protecting and improving mental health and wellbeing whilst reducing health inequalities. Suicide prevention is a key priority of the CRUN/NACN SPDO which requires action across many sectors including working across early years, education, health, schools, communities, sports clubs and churches.
CRUN has also individually worked with many groups offering advice and support on Capacity Building, Partnership Working, Grants Applications, Financial Good practice, Mentoring Support, Charity Commission Applications & Risk Assessment Procedures, which was made more difficult during the pandemic. Fourteen community groups have availed of annual accounts preparation and independent examination as required by the Charity Commission.
Financial review
The results for the year are contained in the financial statements from page 8. The Network has continued to receive funding from various government agencies and funders to support the varied work that they undertake. This has been received through various tender and grants processes. The reserves of the organisations have reduced during the year but will be increased again during 2025/26. This is due to 3 new funding streams starting in the early part of the financial year, thus ensuring that the Company can meet its legal redundancy requirements.
Plans for future periods
The trustees will continue to build on what Causeway Rural & Urban Network has established over its 30 years and maintain its core values and objectives to ensure the continued development within the communities of the Causeway area and beyond. They will review the current strategic and operational plans over the coming 12 months.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Causeway Rural & Urban Network

Year ended 31 March 2025
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:

1. | That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006

2. | That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records

3. | That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

4. | That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
Since your charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of 'named body' which is one of the listed bodies.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland and a registered charity in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 1 Brook Street, Coleraine, BT52 1PW.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

| Fixtures, fittings & equipment | - | 20% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Causeway Rural & Urban Network is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
