WEST BERKSHIRE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
For The Year Ended 31 December 2024
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
This year we have had two very successful fundraising / donation activities. The first being the Welford
Snowdrops, the second being a Charity Golf Day of which we were the beneficiaries, both of which made
a significant difference to our income. We have also successfully continued recruiting new volunteer5. Our
reserves are sufficient at present however this is continually reviewed and any opportunities arising will
continue to be taken.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Since the Charity was registered in 1993 It has continued to increase its available reserves until 2021
however, since then, primarily due to the withdrawing of funding from the NHS, we operate on an annual
Ios5. This loss is well within our current savings level, but we are acutely aware it Is not a desirable
position. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the charity reported net income of £(7,656.16),
(2023: £14,158.01). The annual net 1055 was less in 2024 primarily due to the two fundraising activities.
The annual expenses of the charity again increased in 2024 with the general cost of living rises seen
everywhere plus we made a one-off purchase of equipment to improve the service provided to the
members,
In order to address the ongoing shortfall, we actively seek out appropriate new members for
Woolhampton and continually search for other, smaller grants and fund-raising opportunities to boost our
income. We also made the decision to increase the members fees for the first time since 2019 reflecting
the increases in costs generally.
Principal funding sources
The principal source of our funding come5 from grants from our service agreement with the local council.
In December 2023 we successfully tendered for the Grant from West Berkshire Council to provide a
'Stroke Care Fieablement and Prevention Service, and a further 3-year agreement is now in place. This
income is supplemented by members, fees, donations and fundraislng which were all gratefully received.
Reserves policy
All reseNes retained by the charity are considered to be unrestricted. However, the board of Trustees
hold two designated funds.
The first is a transportation fund created following the receipt of a substantial donation in 2015. This fu nd
is used to fund all transport costs.
The second is a contingency fund created to ensure the charity can continue regardless of the level of
income received.
Going concern
The Trustees aim to ensure sufficient reserves are retained to cover 12 months of the Charity's
expenditure. To ensure this is achieved the amount is in a separate fund and 15 reviewed on an ongoing
basi5,
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees are determined that the charity will contlnue to assist the rehabi litation of stroke survivors,
their families and carers for many years to come. The high levels of continued support from our
volunteers, members and the local community will assist us to achieve our objettives,
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated
charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The charity is always seeking to appoint new trustees as may be appropriate to ensure good governance.

applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Charities Act 2011. The financial Statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Overall risk to operations
Following the year end, there have been no substantial developments that would affect the
charity's ability to operate effectively. The Charity has therefore determined that there are no post

for, the year ended 31 December 2024 have not been adjusted to reflect thelr impact.
Income

the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured
reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure a5 soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will
be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure

cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they
have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be sjsed in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the
