Introduction

The past year has been another successful chapter for ACCG, marked by significant achievements as well as some challenges.

One of the most notable milestones was the completion of the acquisition process for the Claremont building. ACCG is now the proud leaseholder of the site, which has opened up exciting opportunities to expand our services. This includes launching venue hire for other organisations and individuals, and increasing capacity within our Day Centre. We are also pleased to share that ACCG has successfully secured a tender with Manchester City Council to deliver outreach and day care services for individuals with learning disabilities. We eagerly anticipate the start of this important work.

This year, contractors successfully completed the decarbonisation of the Claremont site, marking a major step forward in ACCG’s commitment to sustainability. The building is now significantly more energy-efficient, featuring an air source heat pump that has replaced the outdated boiler, upgraded radiators, LED lighting throughout, and solar panels installed on the roof.

We’re proud to operate an environmentally friendly site and anticipate that these improvements will contribute to reducing our utility costs in the coming year.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our corporate volunteers from Booking.com, Volunteering Excellence and Kroo Bank, whose support with events and in redecorating the Claremont building has been invaluable. We look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the coming year.

While acquiring the Claremont site has brought additional financial responsibilities, we are actively working to secure further funding to help offset these costs.

This year, we also bid farewell to two valued board members. We are grateful for their dedication and contributions to ACCG. At the same time, we were delighted to welcome a new director to the Board, whose expertise will support the charity’s continued growth.

Finally, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to our staff, volunteers, service users, and supporters. Your ongoing commitment and support are the foundation of everything we do.

Activities and Services

Trading Services

ACCG has sought to increase the offer from our trading services with the introduction of

which has been well received by the community. More work is still needed to make this a thriving success.

We have also experienced increased demands for ACCG Meal services through the Lunch Club, Delivered Meals and functions.

Dementia Support Services

ACCG’s Dementia support service supports people living with dementia, their carers, and the wider community through a range of activities. The monthly Dementia Café provides a welcoming space for people with dementia, carers, and community members to connect, share experiences, and enhance their knowledge of cognitive health. The weekly Cognitive Stimulation Group helps people with dementia to maintain memory, thinking, and social skills. ACCG also offer cognitive screening to encourage early detection and timely support for those with a memory problem. This year, ACCG

delivered a Dementia Carer Training Course, giving carers knowledge, strategies, and confidence to better support their loved ones.

Day Care Service

The Day Care service at ACCG has experienced continued growth throughout the year, with increased uptake from individuals residing beyond Central Manchester and Trafford. Referrals have been received from Stockport, Salford, Wythenshawe, and North Manchester, indicating a broader regional impact. A diverse programme of activities remains central to the service, including Tai Chi, Falls Prevention, and KOKU (Keep On Keep Up), which continue to be wellattended. In addition, an Arts and Crafts class was

introduced on Friday mornings, facilitated by an experienced artist specialising in inclusive practices for individuals with cognitive and physical impairments.

Artwork produced during these sessions was recently exhibited at the John Lewis Café in the Trafford Centre, offering service users and their families a meaningful opportunity to celebrate their achievements in a public setting.

Catering Services

ACCG’s Meals Club and Delivered Meals service continue to be well-received within the local community. This year, the organisation proudly retained its 5-star food hygiene rating following an Environmental Health inspection. The Catering Team also renewed their Food Hygiene Level 2 certification and completed a Food Allergen refresher course, ensuring continued compliance and safety.

Meals are tailored to diverse dietary requirements, including Halal, Vegetarian, soft food diets, and nutritional guidelines for individuals managing conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes. This ensures that service users receive healthy, balanced meals, offering reassurance to both them and their carers.

To further enhance service provision and generate additional income, ACCG is exploring menu expansion to appeal to the wider community, particularly those working or studying near the Claremont Centre.

Transport Service

The addition of a third minibus has significantly improved the reliability and reach of ACCG’s transport service. With expanded capacity, the organisation now supports service users from a wider area of Greater Manchester.

Enhanced accessibility has also enabled more individuals who use wheelchairs to attend the Day Service. On peak days, up to eight wheelchair users benefit from transport support, helping to reduce social isolation and promote continued community engagement.

Day Trips

Over the past year, ACCG organised day trips to Whitby, York, and Blackpool, open to service users, carers, and family members.

Sky TV supported ACCG by hosting service users at their Stockport offices, which feature an onsite cinema. Attendees enjoyed an afternoon tea and film screening, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Many expressed interest in future visits, highlighting the value of such partnerships in enhancing community engagement and wellbeing.

These excursions offer older adults and carers affordable opportunities to explore destinations across the UK, helping to reduce isolation and promote wellbeing. Feedback from participants continues to be overwhelmingly positive.

Open Day

In August, ACCG hosted a successful Open Day to celebrate the acquisition of the Claremont site lease, and to showcase the wonderful work we do. Held in Claremont Gardens, the event welcomed over 150 attendees, including service users, carers, families, and members of the local community. Local dignitaries, VCSE organisations, and statutory service representatives were invited to participate and host information stalls, alongside small business vendors showcasing their products.

The day featured a range of activities including a BBQ, DJ, games, and arts and crafts, offering a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. ACCG was proud to highlight its services and community impact. The event concluded with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Councillor Lee Glover, formally marking the acquisition of the site.

ACCG extends its gratitude to Booking.com, whose staff provided 15 volunteers to support the event’s delivery.

Carer Support

ACCG has led the development and delivery of services for unpaid Carers in Central Manchester and are working collaboratively with commissioners and partners to implement strategies that improve the lives of unpaid carers across Manchester.

ACCG Respite Offer

Respite for unpaid Carers is vitally important as it supports them to have the much-needed break so they can continue to care for their loved ones and remain in employment.

Marketing

As we plan for ACCG’s expansion extensive work has been undertaken to develop the ACCG brand and identity. We have achieved this through:

Corporate Social Value

The work undertaken through the marketing of the ACCG led to the companies below spending their corporate social value on ACCG. Staff from the organisations below assisted with ACCG events and the decoration of spaces within the Claremont Centre. This was a tremendous cost saving to the charity.

Volunteering

The improved marketing also led to an increase in volunteering applications from people that want to learn new skills or just provide support to the charity applying their skills knowledge and experience. They use their experience and skills to pay back to the community.

Education and Training

ACCG has increased the support provided to placement students. Over the year, placements students have attended from:

Advocacy, Information and Advice

The funding of the Welfare Rights Advocates post was secured from Independent Age. To date from April 2024 Service Users have been supported to increase their financial stability by £106,809 collectively through increased benefits and grants.

Community Engagement

Service users have welcomed planned excursions to places of beauty and interest. This led to an ACCG service user led Events Group being established so service users have a voice in the planning and development of ACCG activities and services provided to them.

ACCG has sought to increase our reach into the community through various media such as:

Service User Feedback

We are extremely proud of the heart felt feedback provided by ACCG service users. This is what they have said to us:

ACCG Projects

ACCG has worked collaboratively with GP’s, Commissioners and health professionals to raise awareness of Health Inequalities impacting the African Caribbean community: we did this through workshops, social media campaign, and stalls at local venues.

Financial review

Over the past year, ACCG has faced substantial expenses associated with the operation and upkeep of the Claremont Site, which have adversely affected the Charity’s financial position. Ongoing efforts are required to broaden the range of services offered and to identify new sources of income that will support the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation.

Reserves policy

The Directors consider it necessary to accumulate reserves on a year-by-year basis to assist service development and service user needs of the communities we serve. ACCG reserves have been used to provide subsidised services to beneficiaries most of who are vulnerable and live within deprived communities with little or no support from others.

The reserves fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results and from the free reserves of the charitable company. This is intended to protect the charity from the risk of disruption to services at short notice due to lack of funds, while at the same time ensuring the organisation can continue to operate as normal. In the opinion of the Directors, as of 31 March 2025 free reserves were £239,203 of a prudent level.

Structure, governance and management

ACCG Directors are elected by members of the charity at the Annual General Meeting. Each candidate nominated must be seconded by another member of the charity. Nominated candidates are required to provide a resume or CV outlining their knowledge and skills that will contribute to the strategic management of ACCG. ACCG Directors Job Descriptions are available to potential applicants.

Under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles Directors are elected to serve for one year after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. Co-opted Board Directors are interviewed by the ACCG Board on presentation of a CV.

The ACCG Directors constantly review the skills required in areas such as legal, finance, human resources, Medical, nursing, to support the day to day business of the charity.

All Directors are required to undertake ACCG Board development training which is provided by an external organisation.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 23rd March 1993 and registered as a charity on 23rd March 1993.

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31st March 2025 was 739 (2024: 715). The Directors are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Directors have no beneficial interest in the charity.

All Directors give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 to the accounts.
