Plans for Future Periods
Monthly carers coffee mornlng - This remalns a priority for Douglas Drive arKI is always in the
background. Douglas Drive continues to operate an open4oor policy allowing both clients and
carers to chat about any issues they are facing, seek advice and sometimes, just unload.
If it's not something we can help with. we will always do our best to slgnpost to people or
organisations who can assist.
Increased Day Care Sessions - This is a topic regularly discussed and considered over the years.
With a current increase in demand for our Monday and Wednesday general day care groups. the
charity considers this to be a suitable time to re-visit the idea of running an extra day care session.
Much would need to be considered i.e. staffing. transport, hours. client groups and core funding
ensuring that this could be achieved viithout compromising the level of service currendy offered.
Volunteer recruitment - Volunteers are essential to the service at Douglas Drive and the running
of the daily groups. The charity wll continue to raise awareness of volunteering opportunities at
Douglas Drtve whenever possible. It would be an advantage to the charity to have a bank of
volunteers who could be called on at short notice to cover sickness and help cover holiday periods,
ensuring minimal disruption to the standard of care offered.
Repalrs and renewals - The charity, whilst in a financial position, will take the opportunity to look at
some of the areas needing attention to keep the building a safe and comfortable environment for all.
These may indude:
Replace Ilooring in the main hall. and corridor.
New blinds for the main hall.
R&decoration where required.
The Trustees are pleased with the work undertaken by the charity this financial year and hope to continue to
develop and improve all areas of the service. They want to thank all the staff and the volUnt￿rS whose hard
work has made this possible.

Year Ended 31 March 2024

propety. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment
management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is
reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income
is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the
CharitWs right to re￿1ve payment is established.
