ort of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
31 March 2025. 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).
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 centre.
The centre is currently open three days per week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
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 ￿ntre 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 the charity has not been immune from the general economic climate in the country,
which has resulted in a reduction in grant income of just over 300/0. Combined with the loss of a
number of elderly clients who attended the day centre on multiple days each week the overall
income for the year has fallen to £65,358 (2024 £74,172).
The centre also recruited a full-time activities assistant which has resulted in increased staff costs
for the year, which as a result has seen the charity suffer a deficit of £3,026.
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 centre. The amount of the grant for the year
under review was £19,596.
In addition to this each client is charged a daily attendance fee. This was increased from £22 to
£25 per day from 1 St April 2025.
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 2025 this equates to £87,148.
In addition to this the trustees believe it to be prudent to also hold £20,000 for potential
Page 1

redundancies should the Centre have to close and to allow for urgent relocation should something
happen to the premises the charity currently operates from. This gives a total of £107,148.
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
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 g January 1997.

18 can become a member of the charity.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Oakley Rural Day Care Centre
(the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act,).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the
Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have Gompleted my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the
Act., or
the accounts do not accord with those records., or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of 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
