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 F￿DAY,
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,

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,

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.
