The Thursday Stroke Hub group decided to go out for their Christmas dinner together with a guest to The Fisherman in Stevenage. Monthly Hearing Clinic- The hearing advisory service continues to hold a monthly clinic at Douglas Drive, servicing and supplying batteries for NHS hearing aids.

Douglas Drive Senior Citizens Association ststement of Flnancial Activities Year Ended 31 March 2025 th Stroke Support Hub- Start Dato- Thursday 12 September 2024 As a team, the staff had identrfied a definite split within the Tuesday group with some younger clients attending and very mixed abilities within the group. The staff approached the trustees with a proposal to open a Stroke Support Hub, opening the centre for an extra day. The aim of this group would be to offer a safe yet informal space whereby those living with the effects of Stroke, can meet and socialise. The group would run café style with the opportunity to take part in games and activities or, just chat and chill with friends. With agreement from the trustees and core of number of 8 clients moving over to the new group, the Stroke Support Hub opened in September 2024. Just before Chrlstmas, the staff and clients discussed how they felt the group was going. Although th8 clients were enjoying the new session, there were a couple of points raised: Clients missed the extra hour they had on a Tuesday Clients missed the two course meals provided previously (light lunches offered at the hub) During the 3 months, attendance didn't grow as hoped and therefore. financially, this was not covering the running costs of the day. With more referrals coming through for our general day care groups, Tuesday had become more of a general Day Care session and, having explained this. It was decided. as a group, that they would like to return to their Tuesday session for the time being. Grants & Funding - The charity continues to source and apply for grants relevant to the service and activities undertaken. The Trustees were particularly grateful for a grant from Chauncy to purchase a Defibrillator for the centre in May 2024.

In•House Fundralslng - Following the many events we held last year celebrating our 50th year. fvndraising at Douglas Drive remained a little more low key this year.

This has already proven to be a popular and much loved asset to the centre and attracted interest from the local community. The Charity continues to provide 3 Dsy Care sessions. These include two sesslons of general day care. Due to low numbers of referrals, we no longer provide a group specifically for Stroke Survivors. This session is now a mixed sesslon for Stroke Survivors and Elderly Care.

Douglas Drive Senior Citizens Assoclation ststement of Financial Activities Year Ended 31 March 2025 Plans for Future Periods Monthly carers coffee morning - This remains a priority for Douglas Drive and is always in the background. Ideally. we would have liked this to run alongside the day care session. however. the size of the building would not allow for thi5. To have this at another dayltime would require extra staffing and funding. Douglas Drive continues to operate an open-door pollcy allowing both clients and Car$ to chat about any concerns or issues they are facing. seek adv[ and sometimes. just unload. If it's not something we can help with, we will always do our best to signpo8t to people or organisatlons who can assist. Volunteer recrultmant - Volunteers are essential to the service at Douglas Drive and the running of the dally groups. The charity will continue to raise awareness of volunteering opportunities at Douglas Drlve 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 support offered. Repairs 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 include.. Replace flooring in the corridor. Re-decoration where required. Awarenèss - The charity will continue to promote and raise awareness of Douglas Drive and the Services available.
