Chrfstmas Celebrations 2024 - This year it was decided to celebrate Christmas in house at
Douglas Drive. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday groups each had a fun day with Christmas
dinner cooked by our Chef and musical entertainment.
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.
These clinics are popular and have been a great opporbjnity for us to raise awareness of Douglas
Drlve to members of the public who use the servi￿.
Client Numbers - Douglas Drive have managed to retain the group sizes of 15116 clients per group
and. on occasion. 17 clients. Our current client groups attend with equipment such as walking aids.
wheelchairs. frames and rollators and this. along with health and safety. is considered when

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.
Fundraising and Awarenes8
Granby FoSt- Douglas Drive were delighted to be chosen by The Marquis of Granby Public
House as one of the Charities for their fundraising event 'Granby Fest,
It proved to be a great team building day as staff and volunteers pulled together to run an
outdoor games area which was enjoyed by both children and adults alike.
It was also a great opportunity to chat with members of the public about Douglas Drive In a fun
and relaxed setting.
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. In-house raffles held
throughout the year helped to boost our fundraising total.
Stevenage Mayors Charltles - Havlng been selected as one of the mayors four chosen
charities for the year 2023-2024. Douglas Drive were delighted to re￿1ve £3,050 from
Mayor Myla Arceno.

Raised Flower Bed- Douglas Drive would like to say a big thank you to Pete and his team at
P R James Construction for organising and building our new raised ftower bed and to Mark from
Jewson who provided the materials. All of this was without cost to Douglas Drive for which we
are very grateful.
The Councillors of Martins wood kindly donated a second raised pot and organised for 'Waste
not. want not Plant Nursery to provide and help us plant up our new beds again, wtthout cost to
Douglas Drive. Thank you to everyone for helping us get our gardening project off the ground.
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.
The charity continues to receive referrals from various sources however: we currently seem to be receiving
less referrals from professionals e.g. Adult Care Services.
The Trustees will continue to promote all the charity's Day Care seNices ensuring any available places are
filled as soon as possible.
The Trustees believe that the charity continues to be a viable organisation arKf with thanks to generous
grants and donations. the charity will have the funds to continue for the foreseeable future.
Fundraising
This year a total of £886 {2024' £1,650) has been raised through fundraising, of which
£886 (2024; £1,090) is unrestricted and the remaining £0 (2024., £560) is restricted.

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 Ca￿r$ 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.
The Trustees are pleased with the work undertaken by the charity thls financial year and hope to continue to
develop and improve all areas of the service. They want to thank all the staff and the volunteers whose hard
work has made this possible.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included within the notes to these financial
statements.
(c) Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity is

Douglas Drive Senior Citizens Association
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 March 2025
Income frorn trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to
ralse funds for the Charlty. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to
raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and
property. 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 induded 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
Charity's right to receive payment is established.
(d) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recogni5ed where there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be
required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following
headings:
Costs of raising funds includes fundraising, trading and investment management costs.,
Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs relating to maintaining the hall for use by the
church., and
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
{•) Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charty but do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office costs. governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred
directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Where support costs cannot be directly
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on
charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of
disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 6.
(n Tanglble Flxed Assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated
useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease tenn, whichever is the shorter.
