Throughout the year the Centre has conts.nued to provide an unintemjpted service to its users. There has been a
great sense of Community. friendship and fvn and activities are tailored to the needs assessments and
preferences of the users. The Centre works closely with Essex County Council who are highly supportive of the
service that the Centre provides. The Centre Manager also works with users in their dealings with social services

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The management committee have established a policy vthereby the funds not otherwise commttted or invested
in tangible assets held by the charity should be be￿een 6 to 12 months of the resources expended on its core
operation {the Castlegate Centre). which equates to behveen £50,000 and £95,000 in general funds. There is
also a need to conserve depreciation capitsl to offset wear and tear to the building.
Funding
Funding comes primarily from supporters of those who attend the centre and those who attend the centre who
are on independent supported living. The largest contributor in this way is Essex County SoGial Services who
sponsor those they refer to the Centre.
Public benefit
In setting out the charity's objectives the management committee has given carefvl considerntion to the charity
