## Section D      Achievements and performance (see full annual reports for more details) 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Our main community fundraising initiatives - May Day Stall, Yard Sale and Christmas Quiz- were all very successful thanks to the hard work of the Trustees, Centre Manager and volunteers. It is pleasing to note that we were able to exceed our £3000 fund-raising target for the year by £667. The team continued to deliver a comprehensive planned programme of activities which combined popular outside musicians and in-house entertainments, all of which are intended to promote overall member wellbeing. 

Our experience is that whilst we are able to bring in new members, our numbers do fluctuate because some existing members need to transfer to alternative care environments and sadly because others have died.

Section D      Achievements and performance (see full annual reports for more details) 

We have increased our social media profile and this We are however receiving an increased number of referrals via the Social Prescribing system and through self-referrals. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

- We have reviewed our reserves policy and based on our analysis 

- **Brief statement of the** have agreed that we should maintain our reserves at a minimum **charity’s policy on reserves** level of three months. • Funds may only be designated by the Trustees for uses on projected spend, outside the normal annual payments, which fall into the short or medium timescales. Designated funds may be held in addition to the reserves. 

- • Where a restricted donation has been received, this will be retained until its use is appropriated to the donors wishes. 

- • The current level of reserves is slightly below the agreed level, but 

- **Details of any funds materially** we are addressing this as part of our 2025-2026 financial **in deficit** management strategy. We do however maintain a financial surplus. 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- On the financial front we remain dependent on the grant we receive from Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) to meet our core costs. This is currently set at £10,000 and is guaranteed until March 2027. 

We augment our income with 

   - member fees, which in this reporting year was set at £14 per session. Member income is dependent on attendance which can be variable, but we are seeing an increase in numbers, and we will continue to drive this forward in the forthcoming year 

- fund-raising activities – we set a target of £3000 from all sources 

- • investment policy and and were able to exceed this by £600 

- objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

## **Looking forward** 

- We continue with initiatives to 

   - § raise the profile of the Centre by increasing our social media presence so that we can maximise attendance at each session.  We will maintain our target of 15 members per session with a realistic objective of 12 per session, but we are aiming to increase this. 

   - § recruit new and younger volunteers and hopefully some male volunteers to give a better gender balance 

- § we will continue with a full programme of entertainment that will focus on physical, social and mental health well-being. We plan to augment this with regular chair-based exercises provided by a local council provider 

- § we have increased our fund-raising target for 2025-2026 – now set at £ £4750 from all sources § In setting the budget for 2025-26, we have committed to meeting the Real Living Wage as a minimum and will increase this in the autumn in accordance with RLW recommendations.
