|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document<br>Para 1.17<br>**To provide varied social opportunities**<br>**within a safe environment for vulnerable**<br>**adults who are residents of West**<br>**Wiltshire.**|||
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.<br>Para 1.17 and<br>1.19<br>**Our membership consists of adults with a**<br>**learning disability who may also be**<br>**physically disadvantaged.

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

## **Financial Review** 

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