THE ROY FLETCHEFi CENTRE: ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023-24
B) Introduction
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present
their annual report and financial statements of the Roy Fletcher Centre, for the year ended 31st
March 2024. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and Financial Ststements of the Charitable
company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable
company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of R8commended Practice
(SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting
Stsndard applicable In the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the charitable company qualified as small under section 383, the strategic report required of
medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's
Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
Background
The Roy Fletcher Centre was established by the Roy Fletcher Charitable Trust (the Trust) set up by
Roy Fletcher, builder and philanthropist of Shrewsbury. The Trust, administered by Roy Fletcher's
son and daughters, acquired and converted the former Livesey Printing Works to fulfil their father's
dream of providing a Centre for caring and charitable voluntary organisations in Shrewsbury. He
wanted the charities to have a place where they could all be under one roof with high quality
facilities without having to pay commercial level rents, thereby releasing more money for them to
spend on delivering services to the community.
The Roy Fletcher Centre building opened in January 1997 and in 2007 the Trust acquired a second
building, number 15 College Hill, Shrewsbury, to provide additional office space to meet demand.
This building was converted and opened as Fletcher House In 2009.
C) OBJECTIVES ANDACTIVITIES
Policles and Objectlves
The Roy Fletcher Centre Is a charitable company whose principal objectives are to provide good
quality affordable Offi￿ accommodation and related ServI￿S for charitable and voluntary
organisations for the benefit of the people of Shrewsbury. The main activities undertaken in relation
to these charitable purposes are.
The leasing of two buildings from the Roy Fletcher Charitable Trust (the Trust) at peppercom
rents. One b8ing the The Roy Fletcher Centre and the other Fletcher House, and sub-letting
the facilities to other charitable caring organisations. They provide a broad range of charitable
services and support including, information and advi￿, counselling, support for families and
Individuals. Some organisations have suites of offices and interview rooms, others have
single offices or share office space. The West Shropshire Talking Newspaper has its own
purpose build recording studio.
The provision of a stsffed reception to act as a point of contact for the members of the public
who visit the Roy Fletcher Centr@ for information about local services, to access the resident
harities or to use the interviewlcounselling rooms.

THE ROY FLETCHER CENTRE; ANNUAL FiEPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023-24

charities and other voluntary and community providers to hlre for meetings and training
events. The meeting rooms are fully equipped with Wi-Fi and media equipment can be hired

generous financial support from Shropshire Council as part of their initiative to make the
digital world accessible to all its residents and also the Lottery Community Fund. The RFC
runs one to one sessions on a Wednesday and a drop-in session on a Thursday morning.
Volunteers work for eight to ten weeks with a learner and progress is monitored as part of the
commission and to ensure learners are covering all the basic skills they require.
September 2023, the Roy Fletcher Centre entered a three-year partnership with Shropshir8
Council to continue delivering the above service and extending the criteria of those able to
access the project,
D) DELIVERING A PUBLIC BENEFIT

The RFC digital volunteers have donated 1,'850 hours during the year in providing help and
advlce to tenant charities and members of the public in delivering the IT one to one learning

SAND (Safe Ageing No Discrimination) Thanks once again must go to the Roy Fletcher Centre
which provides safe, secure, friendly, professional office spac& to SAND. This is a place wher& w8,
as a small not-for-profit organisation with a focus on the wellbeing of older and old LGB T+ people,
can flourish. It is a huge bonus to be able to hire other rooms in the building at an affordable ratg -
for events, one-to-ones, private zoom Galls, networking meetings as well as our monthly business
mgetings. This helps us with our profile in the ¢ommunity as a trusted, reliable organisation.
Sal Hampson - Director
Branch Being a tenant at the RFC has been immensely beneficial to our clients and our
org8nisation. The support from the RFC, coupled with the financial relief facilitated by Shropshi
Council, allows us to allocate more resources directly to our service provision,. enabling us to
enhance our services and better seThe our Glients, needs - Denisg - Head of Operations
We have been tenants at the Roy FletGher Centre for a number of years and as a charity we are
gratefvl for the rat8s concession applied to the premis8s as it allows more of our limited funds to
directly relieve SiGkness and distress of suniivors of all fomis of sexual violence, hann, exploitation
and abuse, with support extgnded to their families. Kay- Head of Finance
Being a tenant at FletGher House (part of the Roy Fletcher Centre) enables our service (Purple Leafj
to offer flexibility to our clients and familigs. For many reasons, some clients prefer to meet in a
neutral space outside of their educational or residential setting. Having a meeting spaGp for the
Ghildren and young people we support that is open around th8 year also means we can provid8
continuation of seNice and support during school holidays, vvhich is partlGularty beneficial during the
long summer break. JessiGa - Training Facilitator
Shrewsbury Food Hub Central location and late opening two nighf8 a week make the RFC an ideal
location for meetings, in additson to providing our administrative centre. As an environmental organisation we
love the low Gart)on electrtcity- in a hub with meetsng moms availab18 all at a reasoriabl8 rates and rent. Its

We do this by providing."

We are based within The Roy Fletcher Centre who provide office spaGe and facilities for charities
and voluntary organisations. The centre not only provides our officgs and meeting rooms, but also a
person-centred and professional working space where our team and clients are made to feel

THE ROY FLETCHER CENTRE: ANNUAL REPORT ANEI FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023-24
welcome. The building is well looked after and maintained, and you can see that all staff members
take pridg in their workplaGe.
Over the past year we have met with clients, tenants and stak8hold8rs in our office space and made
use of The RFC meeting rooms service. The centre 17as helped to make this possible by adopting a
flexible, groundgd, and inclusive approach. The location of the building is very central and makes
this easier for us to direct clients and visitors to the other setyices within the Shrewsbury town
centre. Any visitors we have are monitored by the Roy Fletcher Centre staff who liaise with our team
regardi'ng appointments, to help ensure staff safety when lone working in the centre. This is an
invaluable seryice which helps to safeguard our team, Trtain our client base, and helps those who
are more vulnerable to feel at ease. The centre retains its wonderful reputation by offering great
valug for money in temis of renting space and by offering maintenance and repairs in a timely and
considerate mannpr.
Our staff and clients feel safe and comfortable when working and accessing thg building and that is
down to the fantastic management of the centre and its staff team. Joanne Gough, Chief Officer
SID (Shropshire Inclusive Dance) We a￿ the only inclusive contemporary dance organisation in
Shropshire and beyond. Like a lot of arts charities, we struggle to fund our core costs so being able
to hire a serviced office space at a cost that is in line with our budgets and fuiiding makes an
enormous difference to our ability to Operate. Jo Wright, Managgr
The West Shropshlre Talklng Newspaper (a charity established 1976) has been tenant of the
RFC since it OP9ngd. Thg faciltii6S they offer of valug for money office space and a dedicated
recording studio are vital to our continued woth in providing weekly and monthly news and features
to those who are unable to access print. We also use their meeting spaces - centrally placed in the
town - for Trustees and other meetings, as well being able to host events to engage our volunteers.
Axis As a charitable organisation who is a Tenant of Fletcher House, I cannot express how grateful
we are to the Roy Fletcher Centre for their deep understanding of the issues and strugglgs of
Gharities. Being able to have a town-Gentre location at an affordable cost, is invaluable as rt gives
our beneficiaries the option to travel by public transport, which many of them do. This wouldn't be
possible with an out-of-town location. We wouldn't be able to afford the far more expensive
GommerGial premises within thg town centre, so could not exist and service our beneficiaries in the
way we do, without their support.
In addition, th6 Roy Fletcher Centre, always puts the needs and difficulties of their tenants, at their
heart of their decision making, whiGh is a rarity in Landlords. For this we are incredibly fortunate.
Becky Jones, CEO
Enabllng our tenants to assist people in need
Many of the tenant charities have remained working on a hybrid basis. Those charities that offer
advice have found they can assist far more people by doing telephone consultations rather than
face to face where this is possible.
Craating a welcomlng place to meet and to learn
The meeting room use by external charities and community groups has still not returned to pre-covid
numbers although we have new hirers as well as our tenant charities using the space.
Revenue from the hire of the meeting rooms is £8,322. However, an allowance can be made to the
cost of meeting room use from the Shropshlre Council grant for delivering the digital project of some

THE ROY FLETCHER CENTRE.. ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023-24
£2,756. Late night opening has remained on a Monday and Wednesday evening only. The meeting
room at Fletcher House continues to be used by the tenant charities in that building.
Quiet spaces for counselling
Our counselling charities are seeing increasing numbers of young people being referred for therapy.
We are fortunate that all the counsellors who hired counselling rooms on a sessional basis pre-covid
have returned, This has resulted in an income from Couns811ing room hire of £24,579.
Office seNices
The Centre ofers photocopying and desk-top publishing of newsletters and flyers. Our admin stsff
have also been providing a dictation transcribing service during the last year. Income for these
services during the year was £9,057.
Sharlng information, and promoting looal sources of advice and support
The Centre is frequently used by the public seeking information and advice on local services and
events, or to visit the tenant charities, with staff on reception able to direct them as appropriate.
Information is made available via leaflets, the intemet and community naticeboards in the reception
area.
Helping people to get online and learn IT skllls 65+
With generous financial support from Shropshire Council and the Lottery Community Fund a project
has been developed providing one to one tuition to those 65+. Learners bring their own device i.e
phone, tablet, laptop and re￿1ve one hour a week tuition for up to ten weeks period they receive
tuition from a volunteer. The funding has allow8d for the purchase of a tablet andlor wi-fi conn8Ctivity
where none exists in a learners, home (there are criteria to qualify). The RFC runs one to one
sessions on a Wednesday and a drop-in session on a Thursday morning. Volunteers work with a
leamer and progress is monitored as part of the commission and to ensure leamers are covering all
the basic skills they require. This project has now been extended for a further three years and the
criteria extended to allow more people to take advantage of this free service.
On the 22nd November 2023, we were very pleased to receive a visit from Mandy Thorn, High Sheriff
of Shropshire and her husband Mark. We were able to show her how our digital project works and
she met with some of our leamers and heard the difference this tuition was making to them. The
visit was also about volunteers and the difference they make in our community. The Roy Fletcher
Centre is extremely fortunate in having a very dedlcated team of volunteers.
E) FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason
they continue to adopt the going con￿rn basis in preparing the financial statements.

THE ROY FLETCHER CENTRE: ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 202>24
Reserves Policy
After setting aside a working balance of approximately 15 % of annual turnover to ensure that
sufficient money is available for the day-to-day operation of the Centre, the Trustees reserves policy
is to designate funds:
a) for known or potential expenditure and liabilities and
b) the long-t8rm repair and maintenance or renewal of the two buildings and their plant and
machinery.
The free reserves, calculated as the unrestricted funds less the designated funds, at the year end
were £22,976 (2023: £53,903).
F) STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. Constitution
The Roy Fletcher Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated In September
1996 and registered as a charity on 13th November 1997. The Charity's M8morandum of
Association sets out its objects and powers and its Articles of Association sets out its govemance.
In the event of the Company being wound up members are required to contribute £1 .
b. Method Of Appointment Or Election Of Trustees
The directors of the company are also the Gharity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under
the company's Articles are known as Trustees. The Articles provide that three Trustees are
appointed (two by Shropshire Council and one by the Roy Fletcher Charitable Trust) and up to six
Trustees are elected to the Board at the annual general meeting, four of which have traditionally
been elected to represent the tenant charities. Other than the appointed Trustees, up to one third of
the Trustees retire by rotation each year but are eligible for re-election.
c. Pollcies Adopted For The Induction And Tralnlng Of Trustees
All the Trustees have an interest in andlor are already involved in charitieslvoluntary organisations.
They are therefore familiar with the roles, funding, management and regulation of charities.
Additionally most of the Trustees have had a long association with the Centre and up to four of them
are appointed by chan'ties based at the Centre arid thus have a sound understanding of the
objectives and work of the Charity. On appointmentlelection new Trustees are given a briefing by the
Chief Executive who is also available at any time to discuss any matters with the Trustees.
organisational structure and declslon making
The Trustees meet a minimum of quarterly per year and are responsible for strategic direction and
policy. Day to day operational management of the Centre Is the responsibility of the Chief Executive
who is also responsible for staff supeNision. The Chief Executive reports to and attends Board
meetings. There is a stsnding Finance & General Purposes Sub-committee, and the Board also
establishes smaller sub-groups from time to time to address particular issues,
G) PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIOD
The Centre will concentrate on its core business of proving affordable office space and meeting
rooms in the heart of Shrewsbury. But in the process It will also seek to increase its ability to sell
itself, broaden the seNices it provides and the people it reaches, through:
Build on the new IT model that has been developed during the last year.

THE ROY FLETCHEFi CENTRE: ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2023-24
Work in partnership with other external charities to provide means of accessing physical and
mental wellbeing services
Develop its ability to deliver services SUGh as a social meeting place or improve our position
as a facilitator for other organisations to use our meeting rooms
Being pro-active in looking for ways to work with others to meet, and to further the charitable
objectives of the Centre. To follow on from the successful collaboration with Shropshire
Council in IT delivery.
Effective fund raising
H) CHAIR'S STATEMENT AND THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It is a pleasure to present the Annual Report and Account for the year 2023-24.
a) Summary
Operating the Roy Fletcher Centre over the past year has been somewhat less challenging
than the year before although the effects of changes brought about by Covid-19 continue,
principally the staff of some of our tenant charities working from home. Whilst this has not
impacted the receipt of renuservice charges it has mgant the two buildings being quieter and
the use of the meeting rooms still reduced but ameliorated somewhat by increased private
counselling hire.
However, the renewal for a further three years from 1 St April 2023, O'f the contract with
Shropshire Council for the provision of the Digital Skills Programme has gone some way to
making up the gap, with volunteers delivering this seNice on Wednesday and Thursday
momings bringing a buzz to the Centre. We are indebted to our 10 volunteer IT instructors
for their contributions as the need for everyone to be able to use IT to access most
government and many other everyday services continues to grow.
l am very pleased to say that due to our work with our tenants and partners the Centre ended
the year in the black and we confidently look forward to the next year.
b) Thanks and Acknowledgements
l extend my sincere thanks to:
Our tenant charities for their reliabilily in paying their rent and Servi￿ charges and their
support for the Centre.
Our partners, especially the Roy Fletcher Charitable Trust for help with the cost of
maintaining the buildings, and Shropshire Council for partnering the Digital Skill IT
Project.
Our IT volunteers, as referred to above, for doing all the real work of Instructing the
learners on the Digital Skills Project, which would not happen without them.
Our Chief Executive and all our staff, the office cleaners, caretakers and receptionists,
whose contributions are essential for the smooth and efficient running of the buildings.
Vice-chair Tery Seston and all the TrusteelDirectors for their work and support
throughout the year.

The charity operates a defined benefit P6nsion scheme bul is unable to identify its separate assets
and liabilities. Therefore in prior years the scheme has been accountsd for as a defined contribution
scheme in accordance with FRS 102.

the 2015 SORP it is possible to calculate a provision based on these deficit payments.

Th8 assets of th6 sch8m8 ar8 held separataly from thosa of the charitabl@ company In independently
administered funds. The pension cost charge represents contributlons payable by the charitable
company to the fund, after adlustlng for the movement on the provision noted below and amounted to
a charge of £2,694 (2023: charge of £1,930)
The scheme Is in deficil and the charitable company has agreed a deficit funding agreement and
therefore a liabllity for this obligation has been sccounted for.The amount reoognis&d is the n8t
pres&nt value of the deficit reduction contributions payablg under this agreement. Th8 discount factor
Used was 5.31°/. (2023,. 5.520/¢).
