Trurtee Changes
Under the Constituti on individuals appointed to the roles of Chair. Treasurer and Secretary are required to
stsnd down On￿ having served 4 year5 in offio.
The Con¥nittee would like to pla￿ on record the thanks and appreciation for the hard work and
commitment of the team of employees and volunteers without vthom the charity could not operate.
The Charity ￿rnaIns dependent upon the support provided by Watford Borough Councll as without the
quarterfy grants it would not be possible to continue to operate. The Charity is also able to operate thanks
to the accommodation provided free of thar8e by CltiPark
Wrthout the support of both these organisations Shopmobility Wafft•rd would be unable to Pr￿ide
mobility impaired people with the freedom to shop. bank and lunch in Watford town centre. The Trustees
are trulygrateful for thls klnd assistance.
Shopmobility continues to provide a full servlce operating w days a week.
t￿rir￿ the year the Charity received grants totsllire £44271 (£56(W)l in 2024). This income included
lottery8rdnt of £6770 (£13540 in 2024). More detslled Infonnatlon Is set out in the notes to these accounts
d below.
Total income in the year was £134863 (£122055 in 2024.)
Costs in the year were £118583 compared to £103869 in the wevious year.
Total reser¥es at the I" Aprfl 2024 were £101054 and after a Su￿1￿5 in the year of £16280 the total reserve
at 31" March 2025 a￿ £117334.

As previously reported the Trustees ¥e providing a six day per week Servi￿ to the community
suffering with either temporary or permanent mobility issue& H¢)wever the additional costs in providing a
six day service are significant. The support provided by the lottery grdnt following the dosure due to Covid
has been extremely helpful and very rnuch appreciated. Further details are set out in note 9 to these
accounts. The team is committed in finding extra revenue Sour￿ to meet these costs.
The team is very focused in exploring further opportunities to raise grants and finanaal support particularty
with local businesses. We are confident this will maintain revenue in the coming years.
The Chairperson is currently carrying out a review aimed at streamlinin8 the operation. It is expected that
on completion this will improve the effiaency of the Servi￿ provided and is planned to dlwelop other
income streams.
We are however fully aware that our providers of grants are also looking to save money and cut costs.
The Trustees are extremely grateful to Watford Borough Council who have indicated they will continue to
provide support through grdnts {at a slightly lower level) for the next two years 2025126 and 2026127.
The Trustees have produced a cash flow plan for the financial year 2025126 and based on this projection is
confident that the￿ will be sufficient reseNes to meet all liabilities as they fall due for a period of three
montFts.
