Maln Artlvitles: Harrow Gateway is a small charity based in Northwest London providing social events. sports activities, clubs and trips for adults with learning disabilities. We run our unique services out of ourown buildin& which is based in North Harrow.

Mana ement Committee rustees. re ort 2023-24 The committee is happy to report that the charty has had a successful year wlth two clubs runnÈn& several quizzes, monthly markets and full use of the hall by five communty user groups. The Monday Club is thriving wlth a lot of new members and volunteers, Thursday Club is popular and has several new people attendin& Parents, Club has closed due to a lack of members. Our maln expenditure over the year was. as usual, for utilities (£11,348). last year It was £4155. The reason forthe huge increase was that in the 2022-23 financial year we were dealing wlth the water leak but the Home Guard (with who we share water) paid all the bills. We had to reimburse the Home Guard, not only for the water used but also for all the investigations that took place to discover the source of the leak. Unfortunately, it then took several months for the insurance company to pay out and they didn't do so until 2 April 24 which fell into the current financial year12024-25kThis insurance payout has been recognised in the income for 23124 and added to the Debtors figure in the accounts. Other major outgoings were cleaning (£3570), repalrs/maintenance (£2263) and insurance (£2122). Total expenditure was £22,285 for the year 23124 which equates to approximately £1857 per month to run the hall. this is an increase from £1200 in 2022-23. The increase is due to the cost of the water repairs and investigatlons and wlll be a one-off increase as we expect the water consumption to go back to normal levels for 24/25 now that the repairs have all be done. Our income came mainly from use of the hall by the community grpS (£10,772) and donations (£5967). In particular we would like to thank the GOA Golf Society, Batchworth Park Golf Club and the Skipton Buildin£ Society for their generosity. We continued to run our successful quizzes. raislng £4674, and our monthly markets raised £970. We have continued our association with the charity Vidya Jyoti. and they have run several successful parties for us; the committee would like to thank them for thelr sUPPOrt. Mark Prior, one of the Monday Club volunteers, has taken several members on outings to Harrow Arts Centre, ten pin bowling at Park Royal and putting at Puttstars in Harrow. The committee would like to thank Mark for organising these evènts. The same small committee continue to run the charity, but we have been fortunate that Betty Ayele, Parminder Bajaj and Bijan Ghorbanian joined the committee at last yearfs AGM. Also, at the AGM Ann Elder and Ken Towns stepped down and the committee would like to thank Ann for all her hard work over the years. As many of you know Ken died in January," Harrow Gateway would not be in existence without Ken's huge input over many years and we would like to acknowledge everythin8 he d5d for the charity. The committee would also like to thank Sylvia Parsons for running the market, Sylvia and Frances Bright for organising the quizzes, Eric Parsons for all his help at the quizzes and markets and Betty Ayele and her son Matthew for setting up at quizzes and markets. Thanks
also to all our volunteers. market stallholders and all those who have supported us overthe past year. Reserves Policy It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reseryes at a level which balances our objectives to develop and support ser4ices with our need to maIn financially stsble. £6,OCx) 15 kept is a separate account. The money is set aside for any unexpected expenses. Due to the responsibility Harrow Gateway have over maintaining a community building this amount is felt prudent. Grant Funding Harrow Gateway did not receive any grant funding In this financial year 23124.
