Charity registration number: 1040538

Objectives and Activities

Objectives and Activities Objectives and Activities Objectives and Activities
SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document
Para 1.17
To provide varied social opportunities
within a safe environment for vulnerable
adults who are residents of West
Wiltshire.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.
Para 1.17 and
1.19
Our membership consists of adults with a
learning disability who may also be
physically disadvantaged. Members are
encouraged to develop or improve social
skills. Groups are given literacy tuition
with the Learning Curve and the chance
to acquire baking skills. Fitness
programmes and music are also provided
as well as a (normally hot) lunch. Games,
craft and quizzes are also offered, along
with trips out to interesting places.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees are conscious at all times of
the need to make sure the charitable
objects of the club are designed to
supply a benefit to the local community.
The trustees believe that we go some way
to fulfilling three of the charitable
purposes defined by the Commission:
The relief of those in need (by reason of
disability);
The advancement of health in providing
comforts for those disabled or infirm;
The advancement of education by virtue
of the development of individual
capabilities.

Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Like most similar groups across the UK,
we can still detect the effects of the
pandemic. However, we have maintained
a good level of service to our members
and attendance for our Wednesday
session is approaching our limit. Our
Monday session is less well attended and
we could welcome more members then.
As Civic spending on social care for the
disadvantaged proves inevitably more
constrained by the demand on services
and the availability of funds, the Club
believes it represents a societal
advantage

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Financial position remains acceptable,
but our ability to break even has been
severely tested in the last few years.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Club policy is to hold a reserve equal to
at least 50% of the previous year’s
expenditure. This ensures that if grants
are difficult to obtain, the Club should not
fail financially inthe short term.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 At end March 2024 our cash funds were
just over £25K, which easily covers the
reserve policy described above.
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 A deficit of just over £700 occurred over
this 12-month period. As usual at the end
of a financial year, there were some
outstanding invoices. We have decided
to increase some charges to our
membership, which they accepted
without demur.
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 The main obstacle to continuation
remains the difficulty in recruiting new
volunteers. We have acquired ‘new
blood’ over the last year and are careful
to always ensure we can safely manage
**regular opening for the club membership. **
