| Since its establishment, NPCA has evolved into a significant not-for-profit service provider and focal point for many local residents to engage and self-organise, particularly those living on limited incomes and those who feel isolated and live alone. The community continues to benefit from the extraordinarily wide range of activities/events delivered at the Centre despite deteriorating economic conditions for many. |
| The Centre remains at the heart of the community as we invest in people, their networks and in facilitating collaborations in the face of an economic crisis affecting increasing numbers of residents. We continue to promote community building and invest in volunteering and self-organised activities. Collaboration with residents and agencies remains an important goal of the organisation as our projects focus on inclusive social protection and community development. |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| Netherton Park Community Association is a registered charity set up by local residents of the Park Lane area of Sefton in 1985 to tackle the issues affecting this disadvantaged but vibrant community. The overall aim of the Association is to provide community facilities and activities that promote social welfare, education, recreation and leisure within the Netherton Park area and, by doing so, improve the welfare and spirit of those living within the area. |
| Netherton Park Community Association (Registered number: 07600057) |
| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 July 2025 |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Activities and Services |
| This period of activity has focused on the deepening impact of the cost-of-living crisis, where we have focused on developing a range of social protection services within an anti-poverty strategy that engages people to collaborate and share responsibilities, given the collapse of the welfare state and the need for the Charity to remain relevant. Poverty and precarious living is deepening and we continue to source and share basic resources in meeting fundamental household needs and avert crisis. Daily, more and more people face adversities we have never witnessed before and the Charity, led by a strong board of trustees, is meeting this challenge in areas of food insecurity, rising crisis debt, domestic distress, youth disaffection and criminality. |
| We have supported and engaged 2,950 people of all ages and backgrounds in our projects and support services over this reporting period. |
| Our organisation offers activities and services to all Sefton residents, although the majority of participants live in the local area. We offer a wraparound service providing a range of social protection interventions and inclusive activities to all ages and need. |
| We are a community hub operating a range of social protection activities developed from our pandemic learning and from what residents continue to tell us through consultation. We have embedded our anti-poverty strategy targeting vulnerable families, children and young people, elders and residents facing crisis as well as supporting newly-placed vulnerable families and people who are destitute and living precariously. Our work extends to asylum families placed on the housing estate and beyond. |
| In light of the deepening economic crisis, we have developed our services to address the shocks and adverse impacts of austerity, a collapsing welfare net and hardening economic distress. We operate outreach and Centre-based activities as follows: |
| -Family support: from crisis interventions (parenting, problem debt, eviction/rent arrears, drug dependency,violence |
| relationship breakdown) to enhancing family functioning. |
| - Food and hygiene product hub: providing a membership-based resource to reduce hunger and food poverty, helping with family budgets, including cooked-meal provision. (We are moving over 4 tons of food weekly). |
| - Free clothes; baby goods exchange and free bedding. |
| - Welfare rights service, including budget management programmes. |
| - Support to children/families who are on regulated plans (105 plus children and rising). |
| - 'Stay and Play', early years and early-help programmes in collaboration with our on-site nursery. |
| - Children and young people focused play/development learning/social and emotional learning activities including holiday programmes and residentials. |
| - Elder-focused activities, both outreach and centre-focused. |
| - Targeted holiday activities for over 130 children vulnerable to hunger, distress, and harm. |
| - Mental health groups. |
| - Social space network (self-organised social connection initiative). |
| - Community Connectors. |
| - Health/Wellbeing literacy programmes. |
| - Providing 'warm space' activities. |
| Netherton Park Community Association (Registered number: 07600057) |
| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 July 2025 |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| - Cooking programmes. |
| - Crisis interventions (emergency family moves, destitution, and domestic violence). |
| Three relationship-based progression principles have emerged, underpinning our social protection initiatives: |
| - Crisis over - navigating the immediate problem(s): often cyclical threats. |
| - Firm foundations - developing resilience to shocks and adversities. |
| - Shaping Futures Together - connecting by socially investing in people and networks |
| We face severe cost pressures and are accessing our unrestricted reserves to meet rising demand whilst meeting commercial energy rises, above inflation food prices and increased staff costs. |
| Partnerships And Big Thank You! |
| We work in partnership with other agencies and organisations, including: Louise Doran-Brown (Boogies Fun time Parties), Nethertots Nursery, Sefton Community Learning, Hugh Baird College, The Feelgood Factory; Linacre Bridge Community Hub, Lotus Brook, Sefton Youth Service, Sefton MBC Social Care, Fareshare, Everton in the Community, Liverpool Foundation, Our Lady Walsingham Primary School, Sefton CVS, Fun 4 Kidz/L30 Community Centre, One Vision Housing, Netherton Children's Hub, Ward Councillors, Merseyside Police and Community Officers to ensure maximum impact and support is given. This is through referral processes or by taking the lead on individual cases and giving support with planned interventions. Sefton MBC early prevention and intervention service supports the family support team where we collaborate through their 'team around the family'. |
| We are working collaboratively on a food security network which seeks to mobilise local people in developing a food strategy that removes stigma and facilitates mutual aid. The model is now established and is membership-based. |
| Trustees apologise if we have inadvertently missed any supporter of our charity |
| Building and Maintenance |
| The Neighbourhood Centre is reaching an age and stage where we are now forced to invest in repairs, refurbishment, and renovations, including structural improvements where necessary. We have set aside a Designated Fund for this, and Trustees are considering increasing this Fund in the future to address the ongoing needs of the building, infrastructure, car park and our extensive grounds. |
| Trustees have responded to a building condition survey recognising the deteriorating condition of our asset which was built in 2007. Despite continuing a routine maintenance plan, there was significant deterioration in areas such as our roof, internal flooring and the heating system which required extensive works and replacement. Essential work has now been completed, including upgrading our heating system, new flooring, roof repairs, and security improvements. We have allocated significant free reserves to create a building improvement budget based on a phased and affordable action plan. This 'sinking fund' will indicate to potential funders our commitment to protect our asset and our diligence in making such plans to improve the facility. The result of this commitment has led to capital investment, which is ongoing and helping to expand provision and expand access, ensuring we can sustain and expand our youth, family and play provision in a safe and secure building. |
| Public benefit |
| The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and planning our activities which are to support the local community. |
| Volunteers |
| The trustees wish to thank those volunteers who have continued to contribute their spare time in helping with the provision of the activities of the Centre. |

| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 July 2025 |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| As shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8, most of the Charity's income of approximately £459,000 was for the provision of the Community Centre and this was largely via our Funders listed earlier in the Trustees' Report. The remainder of the income was a combination of donations and charges for the use of the Centre. |
| Overall income exceeded outgoings by £128,000 and this was reinvested into improving the Centre, notably the porch area and the heating system. This investment has been shown on the Balance Sheet in page 9 by the figure for Fixed Assets which increased over the year ended 31 July 2025 from £36,000 to nearly £165,000. The Youth Investment Fund has been invaluable in making these improvements happen. |
| The overall cash position remained healthy with just over £484,000 in hand as at 31 July 2025. Of this, £54,000 has been designated by the Trustees for future building maintenance or improvements and £182,000 will be used for the delivery of projects specified by our funders. The remaining £248,000 will serve as a 'financial cushion,' so that the Charity can 'ride out' any unexpected drop in income. |

| STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The trustees (who are also the directors of Netherton Park Community Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". |
| Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). |
| Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; |
| - | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. |
| 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 statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company 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 special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
| Approved by order of the board of trustees on |
| Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of |
| Netherton Park Community Association |
| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Netherton Park Community Association ('the Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025. |
| Responsibilities and basis of report |
| As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 2011 ('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 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 member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. |
| I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
| 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. |

| 11. | RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES |
| At 31 July 2024 and 2025 Netherton Park Community Association was owed £1,822 by Nethertots C.I.C, a Company of which Mrs S Pett is a director. This amount is shown within 'Other debtors' in the notes to the financial statements. |
| 12. | DESIGNATED FUNDS |
| A Designated Maintenance Fund of £90,000 was previously established to provide a reserve for essential works on the charity's premises. |
| The movement on the Fund is shown in note 10 to the financial statements. The expenditure of £8,707 was a combination of repair and maintenance costs and annual depreciation charges. The depreciation charges related to certain items of property improvements and of new equipment whose costs are to be spread over between five and ten years to recognise their expected lifespan. |
