Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

To promote the benefit of inhabitants of the L6 area of Liverpool, i.e. the area bounded by Breck Road, Everton Road, West Derby Road and Belmont Road, without distinction of age, sex, race, political or religious or other opinions, by associating together the local statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education, and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation for the inhabitants.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

Main Achievements

Liverpool Six Community Association continues to support a community living in hardship and deprivation and we strive to prioritise financial sustainability during such turbulent times.

We continue to face many challenges & work tirelessly to support the community. Continued support from Feeding Liverpool has played an essential role which has enabled us to support the community with food to make nutritional, hot healthy meals, many would be very hungry without this support. We pride ourselves on the fact that whilst we are supporting the poorest parts of Liverpool, we are recruiting and delivering our services by staff, volunteers and trustees who live within the area themselves have suffered from hardships and know firsthand the importance of community cohesion and support. Most people who are involved therefore in what we do are people who recognise and understand the issues that others within our community face and so are better placed at recognising issues and resolving them.

The Easter Bunny visited our Youth Club Children, and they all received an Easter Egg from him, he also surprised older residents at Cabaret and Afternoon Tea events. Although the sun did not shine very much during the children’s summer holidays, they had hours of fun learning how to cook, experimenting, playing active games, arts and crafts & eating nutritional healthy meals. Our Christmas project began on 1st December and Santa visited schools and events in his grotto ensuring as many children as possible got the chance to meet him and his elves. We received 100’s of Christmas referrals and each parcel contained toys, selection boxes and new pyjamas to ensure these children woke up on Christmas morning to presents from Santa.

Our Caravan based at Oakfield Park in North Wales has allowed numerous families to enjoy weekend and week breaks between April 25 and March 26 allowing them to visit the countryside and beaches away from city life.

We are delighted to announce the purchase of a new Caravan based at Winkups Holiday Park also in Towyn, which allows us to accommodate more families and older residents with support for much needed holidays in Wales.

Services have been maintained and grown and our base in the heart of a community living in deprivation and hardship is stronger than ever thanks to a very strong volunteer network and continued community support throughout 2025-26. We look forward to continuing our projects and reaching even more families, older residents within the coming year.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The funding for 2025/26 is greatly appreciated and was as follows:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Liverpool Six Community Association

For The Year Ended 31 March 2026

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Liverpool Six Community Association

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity 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 the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member 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 member of The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, 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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 March 2026

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

Liverpool Six Community Association is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 05437845 and registered charity number 1110049 . The registered office is 99 Queens Road, Everton, Liverpool, Merseyside, L6 2NF.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

2.2. Going Concern Disclosure

The trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2.3. Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

2.4. Incoming Resources

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For The Year Ended 31 March 2026

2.5. Resources Expended

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold	10% straight line
Motor Vehicles	10% straight line
Fixtures & Fittings	25% straight line

2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
