Chairman’s Report for The Hairoun Day Centre
For the Financial Year Ending June 2024
Introduction I am pleased to present the Chairman’s Report for The Hairoun Day Centre for the past financial year. This year has been one of transformation and growth, as we have worked diligently to enhance the services we provide to our elderly members while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our organisation.
Mission and Objectives The Hairoun Day Centre remains committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for older people in our community. Our core objectives are to reduce social isolation, improve the wellbeing of our members, and deliver high-quality services that enrich their daily lives.
Achievements and Performance During this financial year, we have successfully:
-
Increased the number of members attending the centre, reversing a previous decline.
-
Secured an improvement in the day rates for the clients from the Council. Although it remains poor compared with our peers. We have also secured community donations, which have improved our financial stability.
-
Strengthened our relationships with local councils, community groups, and stakeholders to enhance our service offerings and reach more elderly individuals in need.
-
Recruited additional volunteers, allowing us to expand our activities and provide more personalised care and support to our members.
-
Improved the centre’s facilities and resources, ensuring a more comfortable and engaging environment for attendees.

These additional funds aim to ensure the centre's ongoing viability and ability to serve its members effectively.

Further develop our partnerships with local authorities and businesses to enhance service offerings.
-
Improve our outreach efforts to attract more members and ensure those in need of our services are aware of the support available.

Conclusion The past year has demonstrated the resilience and commitment of The Hairoun Day Centre, its staff, volunteers, and supporters. We have successfully navigated financial and operational challenges, positioning the organisation for future growth and sustainability.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, funders, community partners, and, most importantly, our members, who inspire us every day.

NOTES
(i) Mini-Bus Fund
The Mini-bus is funded from an Age-Concern Grant, donations and fundraising during the year. The written down value of the bus is set aside each year to assist in funding future purchases. Due to Covid losses this fund has been considerably depleted & funds have been used for the centre running costs
(ii) Client Welfare Fund
The Client Welfare Fund consists of income and expenditure for specific projects for client well-being, such as gardening, mental health & physical exercise. The fund also funds the Christmas dinner for clients and any trips and outings.

(iii) General Fund The General Fund maintains the core funding of the charity to provide day care provision for the elderly, and those with physical and mental support needs. Funds are provided by charges directed to clients and to the local authority, as well as additional grants. This fund is now overdrawn due to Covid losses and reserves have been used to keep the charity running.Due to grant income and the increase in clients the restricted fund balance has increased. The charity works this year to reduce the unrestricted deficit further.
-
(iv) Reserves Charity provides for a reserve of at least 6 months running cost of the Charity. Whilst it is unrestricted, it's usuage is limited to a 'force majeure' being inflicted upon the charity and by decision of a quorum of the managment commitee and trustees.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of the Caribbean Elderly Hairoun Day Centre
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended Caribbean Elderly Hairoun Day Centre for the year ended 30[th] June 2024 which are set out on pages 1 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
