Honorary Life President: Mr Keith Hiscocks

Names of the Trustees who manage the charity:

Mr Graham Doward (Hon Chairman) Mrs Jane Martin (Hon Secretary) Mr Clive Bowen (Hon Treasurer) Mr Trevor Forey (Hon Thursday club leader) Mrs Jannie Bowen (Hon Membership Secretary) Mrs Rosemarie Larcombe Mrs Denise Forey Mrs Ruth Crook Mrs Andrea Nettleton Mr Paul Nettleton Ms Mandy Massarella Miss Jane Shirreff (Members’ Representative)

Structure, governance and management

Club 21 was registered as a charity on 14 October 1991. It is governed by a constitution in which its charitable aims are to:

1) relieve people with learning disabilities in the Borough of Poole by the provision of recreational facilities, including holidays, in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life for such persons;
2) relieve the poverty of people with learning disabilities in the Borough of Poole who are in necessitous circumstances.

The charity is managed by its Board of Trustees (Management Committee) which meets at least four times a year excluding the Annual General Meeting and delegates to at least two of its number the day-to-day provision of its services. Board members are elected by existing trustees with the exception of the members’ representative who is elected by the membership.

Objectives and activities

Club 21 aims to offer a variety of social and leisure opportunities for people with learning disabilities, enhancing their personal learning, interaction, enjoyment and achievement. The club provides a twice-weekly programme of social and leisure opportunities for adults with learning disabilities, enabling them to meet up with friends on a regular basis at a familiar venue in and around Poole. Family members can have regular breaks from caring and individuals now living more independently in the community can maintain friendships and make new contacts.

Achievements and performance

CLUB 21 (PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES, POOLE)

Since 2019 Club 21 has taken on a tenancy at The Beehive (part of Diverse Abilities Dorset) in Alderney, Poole. Both Thursday and Saturday clubs continue to be well-supported and well-received. Seven new members were welcomed from the waiting list and six new helpers began volunteering during the year.

Our annual holiday, revisiting Hayling Island (Warners), was once again a great success and included a visit to Stansted House.

Trips were organised to The Mayflower theatre (The Osmonds), Poole Lighthouse (ABBA singalong), Ellingham Show and a boat cruise around Poole harbour.

We held Easter and Xmas disco parties, a skittles evening at Moose Hall and a summer BBQ at The Beehive. These were all in addition to our twice-weekly social clubs.

None of the above would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of the Club’s team of volunteer helpers.

Risk assessment

The major risks, to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. To that end, Club 21 is continually monitoring and managing its risk, reviewing corporate risks and ensuring action plans are in place.

Financial review

The charity’s policy on reserves is to maintain a positive balance in the bank sufficient to meet contractual outgoings for six months.

Generous donations and grants were received during the year. £2500 was received from HSBC Trust, £200 from the Evison family, £50 from R. Park and £53 from miscellaneous other donors.

During 2022 receipts totalled £11,752 (2021 £7,854) including grants and donations totalling £2,753 (2021 £5,855). Payments totalled £6,924 (2021 £3,647) giving a surplus in the year of £4,827 (2021 surplus £4,207) and ending the year with £12,351 (2021 £14,447) in cash funds.
