BOURNE VALLEY DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY 'CLUB FRIDAY, BACKGROUND The charity is governed by a constitutlon document adopted 3 July 1981 and later amended on 11 February 1994, 14 May 2010 and 8 May 2015. The Bourne Valley Day Centre was set up in 1981 to offer companionship and help to elderly residents of the Bourne Valley who either live alone or with members of their family, in line with Social Services, policy to keep people in their own homes for as long as possible. Subsequently this has been extended to former guests who have moved into residential homes or sheltered housing within reasonable travelling distan of the Day Centre, usually Laverstock and Salisbury, and to individuals referred by Wiltshire Council Social Services Department. Club Friday's Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing Club Friday's aims and objectives, and in developing plans for future activities. The Day Centre meets between 1 Oam and 2:30pm every Friday in the Idmiston Memorial Hall, Porton, Historically, most guests come from the villages in the Bourne Valley between Ford and Cholderton, with a small number from Salisbury and Old Sarum. We will always look at applications from areas further afield and ifthese guests can be accommodated, they would be most welcome. The Day Centre is run by a paid Organiser and a group of volunteers to assist in running the Day Centre. Two-course hot lunches at £8.50 per person are supplied by a local cook to the Day Centre in the Memorial Hall in multi-meal bulk containers, the volunteer helpers, plate-up and serve the meals to the guests. Wiltshire Council has decided that they will no longer support Clubs such as ours. This obviously has an impact going forward. We are constantly looking at ways in which we can receive further income. We made the decision to increase the amount we ask the guests to pay. This has been increased to £14.00 per session, We will Dbviously monitor the finances closely over the next year. The Day Centre has appropriate Insuran including employers, liability and public liability, It also manages its finances against an annual budget. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees: The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to serve as a trustee on such terms as they may agree from time to time.
BOURNE VALLEY DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY 'CLUB FDAY, CHAIRMAN OF TRUSTEES, REPORT Another year has passed in the life of Club Friday and we continue to offer an enjoyable day for all our guests. Our organiser continues to find new performers to entertain the guests and arranges several different activities each week. We are always open to any suggestions to find new and different activities or entertainment. Our annual survey did flag up that guests would like more outings, this is something we as the trustees are conscious of. We are currently looking at the logistics of arranging something in addition to our annual visit to the RDA in Wilton. We were very fortunate that this year we received a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund of£5,000. We held an afternoon tea again this year to raise funds. The afternoon tea was an enormous success and was enjoyed by all who attended. Vve made over £1,000, which was an amazing amount. My thanks to all those who helped organise and helped run the event. We have decided to do this again in April 2025. The Club remains an integral part of The Bourne Valley, and we strive to maintain an excellent level of service to our guests. We would, however, welcome new guests to keep the spirit of the club going. Finally, my thanks must go to all the Trustees and the organiser for their continued support and dedication to the club, ORGANISER'S REPORT We started this year with another popular and profitable cake sale, the first of three. We have celebrated a number of religious festivals, a magician, and had a visit from the local primary school. Talks this year have included local history, musicians, charities including RN LI, RSPB, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and the Air Ambulance. Music has seen the return of local as well as some new finds, We have continued to provide exercise sessions l yoga classes and craft sessions have been held periodically and have involved ceramic painting, watercolours, Easter table centre, Christmas craft and Valentine's tea light holder. Following last years success we undertook another trip to Riding for the Disabled Association in Wilton for "Tea with a Pony" Ensuring enough volunteers are available is still a challenge and we are constantly trying to recruit. Many guests frequently say how much they look forward to Fridays and enjoy all that we do,
BOURNE VALLEY DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY 'CLUB FRIDAY TREASURER'S REPORT Vve still do not have a Treasurer and the Chairman of Trustees is Acting treasurer. We are also fortunate to have a local accountant who has volunteered to compile our end of year accounts. We have been very fortunate this year receiving a grant of £5,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund and we also made over a £1,000 from our Afternoon Tea fundraiser. Funds have also been helped with the introduction of the annual charge for each guest of £40. This will remain at the £40 per annum for the foreseeable future. We have had to increase the weekly charge to £14.00 as the cost of lunches has increased to £8.50. Our weekly raffle and cake and card sales play a huge role in keeping the funds buoyant. We made a surplus of £2,662 in the year (2024: deficit £700). The end of the year saw us with £14,230 in the bank and £6,684 in our deposit account. W8 need to bear in mind that this includes £nil (2024: £nil) we need to put aside for specific activities as restricted income. If the situation changes, we may have to look at how we budget going forward. Reserves Policy and Risk Management The trustees are aware that they need to maintain unrestricted free reserves at a level to provide sufficient funds to cover operating expenditure. The Trustees have carefully considered the forecast of income and expenditure for the year 2025126 and have concluded that it Is appropriate to utilise the reserves in maintaining the resources available to the organisation to enable it to continue its activities in key areas. TRANSPORT REPORT Thanks to the reliability of our volunteer drivers, and the fact that six of our Guests provide their own transport, we have coped well this last year. We have a pool of some eight drivers to call on, plus helpers who can cover If necessary. Three of our Guests continue to prefer a later collection time in the mornings, and we have been able to accommodate this, together with early departures for health reasons. Although a mileage allowance is offered, very few claim, which is of great benefit to the Club. l am very grateful to all the drivers for their dedication, kindness and conscientiousness in ensuring that everyone arrives Safely in their home, with all their belongings, at the end of the day,
BOURNE VALLEY DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY 'CLUB FRIDAY, Guest Annual Satisfaction Survey: The main results from the annual survey were that guests enjoyed attending the club and meeting others. Overall the guests felt the club provided a good variety of activities but feedback suggested that guests would like to have more outings. We are looking Into the options, however due to cost and mobility of some guests there are limitations as to how many outings are possible. Overall the guests felt the club provided a good variety of activities, and there were some requests to try new activities such as Tai-chi which we are hoping to offer next year. Guests were happy with the quality of lunches provided with most rating them as Excellent or Good in our survey. The only real complaint was on the facilities as the hall can be cold in winter, however blankets and hot water bottles can be provided to help with discomfort.
