REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES continued
The Care Group continues to be on the DCC Day Services Framework, which replaced the block funding
prO￿ss. The DCC annual qualty monitoring audit took pla￿ during December 2022 with very positive
feedback. People referred from DCC continue to join the Care Group. Marketing and promotional campaign
continue to be planned for the forthcoming year.
A Food Standards Agency Hygiene inspection was carried out during March 2024, with a food hygiene rating
of five continuing to be in place.
The organisation is constanlly looking for new activities to provide choice, dignity and respect which is at the
heart of the Servi￿ provided.
At the Voluntary servi￿ of the Year award in November 2023, the Care Group was short listed for The
Organisation of the Year, Manager of the Year (Steve Wright). Trustee of the Year (Glenys Clinton), Iwo
Employees of the Year {Julie Lewis & Daryl Chambers) and Volunteer of the Year (John Buxton).
Trustees also make inspection visits to ￿ntreS to ensure services are being delivered appropriately as part

The Care Group works with the local community and is grateful for the support of 5 volunteers who enhance

Valuable work experience placements are offered for some training providers, such as Chesterfield College,
Derby University Campus, Age Concern arKI the Job Centre.
The staff work exceedingly hard to provide services which meet everyone's needs.
Flnanclal Results
The Care Group's notmal sources of income are from DCC referrals and from service users who self-fund
for their day care. Both the number of Servi￿ users and Servi￿ days have continued to rise throughout the
year. resulting in a vast improvement in the annual income.
The Care Group's funds showed a surplus of £8,225 for the year ended 31 March 2024 (2023: deficit
£8.935).
Reserves ale held for operational support. a general fund and amenity funds. The former two provide the
Care Group with protection against the extreme challenges it has fa￿d and continues to face albeit on a
continually reducing scale. They also provide a contingency for unforeseen expenditure and cover
tennination costs for any services reduced or varied due to changes necessary to refiect changing needs.
Investments are limited to short temi de￿Sits covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation
Scheme.
The major risk for the Care Group in the coming monthslyears is with numbers of clients attending the
service and the number of client days provided. We are reviewing capacity due to the continual increase of
service users and serrfice days.
