## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024**
The trustees have the pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
the relief of disabled or invalid persons resident in the urban district of Long Eaton and the parishes of Breaston, Draycott, Borrowash, Chaddesden, Risley and Sandiacre and the former parishes of Stapleford and Toton.
## **SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS**
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Our charity has been operating for 65 years. Our principal activities are taking our members on trips and to meals. Our ability to do this has been greatly enhanced by a significant donation made to us during the year, for which we are very grateful.
The charity does not have its own premises but on the 2[nd] Tuesday of every month we hire Sawley Community Hall for a concert evening.
Originally, we ran 3 trips a year, but now with the reserves we hold we are having a trip every month. The trips are often to garden centres and then somewhere for tea. The coach we use always has a lift, so that it can be used for people who are between their late 70’s to their 90’s. We have two pick up points to reduce costs.
The management committee meets once a year to plan future activities.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
