Re
ort of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the charity is the relief of frail elderly people in the rural areas of North Bedfordshire
by the provision of recreational facilities with the object of improving the conditions of life of such
people.
Significant activities
To fulfil the charity's objectives the trustees have secured the use of a hall, The Old School, in the
village of Oakley to serve as a day Gentre.
The centre has been open three days per week, Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the day centre was not able to accept clients and pivoted its
services so that each week during the 2020-21 year and for the first half of 2021-22 a pack was
sent to each client containing a newsletter and various activities (such as quizzes, crosswords,
spot the difference etc.). Each client also received a weekly phone call from a member of staff.
The Day Centre was able to re-open on 31st August 2021 and has since seen steadily increasing
numbers of clients attending each day, although the numbers are still not back to pre-pandemic
levels.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
By providing the day centre facilities the charity has enabled many members of the community to
remain more socially and mentally active. The centre provides a safe environment for the clients
to meet and make friends as well as benefiting from hot meals and reduces the impact of social
isolation.
By supporting the clients who attend the day ￿ntre to stay more active it reduces the need for
clinical care and therefore reduces the demand placed on medical and social care budgets.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the year one of the day centre team, Dave Swallow, has worked extremely hard to secure
grants and donations which had taken a hit in the year to 315t March 2023. This hard work has
paid dividends and the additional grant income in 2024 compared with 2023 of £15,847 will ensure
the charity can continue with its valuable work.
The trustees are pleased to report that the charity has made a surplus for the year of £12,964.
Principal funding sources
Throughout the period an agreement has remained in place with Bedford Borough Council's Social
Services team to provide financial support to the day ￿ntre. The amount of the grant for the year
under review was £19,596.
In addition to this each client is charged a daily attendan￿ fee. This was increased from £20 to
£22 per day in September 2023.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have an agreed Reserves Policy that is reviewed annually. It is considered that the
charity should hold sufficient working capital to allow for the normal operating needs, being day
centre fees charged to clients less gross costs, for a period of twenty four months, in case no
further funding, grants or donations are received. At 31 March 2024 this equates to £69,986.
In addition to this the trustees believe it to be prudent to also hold £25,000 for potential
redundancies should the Centre have to close and to allow for urgent relocation should something
happen to the premises the charity CLJrrently operates from. This gives a total of £94,986.
FUTURE PLANS
The day centre is working hard on promoting and advertising its services in the aim of attracting
new clients and getting back to pre-pandemic client numbers. During the 2024-25 financial year
the charity has recruited an additional member of staff to help develop and expand the activities
provided to the day centre clients.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an
unincorporated charity.
The charity's constitution is dated 17 July 1996 and was amended to allow for current governan
arrangements on 9 January 1997.
Oakley Rural Day Care Centre is registered with the Charity Commission. Anyone over the age of
18 can become a member of the charity.
Recruitsnent and appointment of new trustees
As set out in the constitution, the chair of the trustees is elected by the members.
