Para 1.20 | Opened in September 1994, this service is available to older people living alone or needing a high level of support from their families. The aim of the Centre is to provide high quality Day Care, assisting people to remain living at home and/or to provide a break for family members who otherwise give care. The Centre is open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 51 weeks of the year (with the exception of Bank Holidays) and provides various opportunities for physical and mental stimulation and has capacity to care for up to 30 people per day including those increasingly needing a higher level of care. A Cook is employed to provide a freshly cooked, nutritious meal daily on the premises. A variety of activities are included within the price of a place at the Centre. The Centre runs its own tail-lift minibus with a driver and escort and can take wheelchair users to and from the Day Centre in addition to providing an unescorted shopping service for older residents of Attleborough, transporting them from their homes to the local supermarket and back. An Outreach Service provides an alternative for older people who choose not to attend the Centre. A freshly cooked lunch delivery offers hot meals five days a week delivered to the homes of older people. This enables workers to monitor individuals wellbeing throughout the year. The Centre also provides a Luncheon Club in response to identified need in the local population of Older People and other activities when able to provide. |

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of ATTLEBOROUGH DAY CENTRE - CHARITY NO. 1054909 ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR FROM 6TH APRIL 2024 TO 5TH APRIL 2025 set out on pages 1 to 4
| report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5th April 2025, which are set out on pages 1 to 4.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Charities Act') and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to :
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention: which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
°
| have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
