Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01 April 2024 To 31 March 2025

Charity name: Monday Wednesday Club

Charity registration number: 1040538

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 members are adults with a learning disability who may also be physically disadvantaged. Over the year of this report, members and volunteers have steadily increased in number. 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, music, a cooked lunch, occasional trips to the cinema and to outdoor attractions are also on offer.
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 Club provides a service to members of that community who might otherwise have limited opportunity for social contacts.

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	Our activities have brought great satisfaction to our regular members. During this year our chief Organiser retired and we have appointed a new one who is leading the group very successfully. As Local Councils offer diminishing amounts of social care in individual settings, we are filling a gap in a way greatly valued by our clientele.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Our financial position is partially threatened by a yearly deficit (not for the first time in recent years). This is alleviated by the amount remaining in our CAF Bank Account which continues to satisfy the requirements of our reserves policy (see next item). We continue to obtain grants from a number of faithful supporting charities.
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 in the short term.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	At end March 2025 our cash funds were over £22.5K, 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 in excess of £2.5K has occurred over this 12-month period. Considering our bank balance, and this year’s operating conditions, this is tolerable. A continuing pattern of in-year deficits would cause us to examine our budget- setting more critically0000.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	Apart from financial considerations, the main obstacle to continuation would be the lack of sufficient volunteers to safely manage regular opening for the club membership. At present, this is not an immediate worry.
