Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Chief Executive's Report For the year ended 31 March 2025 The Chief Executive presents his report for the year. Age Concern Gillingham continues to maintain its historical footprint in the ever-changing high street environment of Gillingham town centre. The shop provides not only a valuable resource for an increasingly financially pressed public, but a community hub of sorts, with a loyal customer base and a friendly acceptance of our place on the high street, people are quick to seek advice, and support, above and beyond what might be expected of a normal retail presence. The charities relationship to its sister charity Age UK Kent Rivers is a supporting mechanism which provides open avenues for support services which regular shop customers either make enquiries of or might choose to support through their retail purchases. Donations have improved slightly this year, attributed in the main to the decline of Nationally operated charity shops in the vicinity, who demand a higher price point for their re-sold goods. The Shop in Skinner Street maintains its longstanding reputation as a bargain destination which supports continuous income. The nature of good continues to change, with the continued emergency of price per Kilo facilites who have encroached the retail space over the past few years, and the financial pressures of the modern day mean that items are held for longer buy owners, or upcycled and repurposed, with donation being a last resort. This means that the effort invoived in processing donations is higher, and the number of donations which are truly able to be resold are fewer. That said, we still have a good base of regular donors and high-quality items do get taken in by our team on a daily basis, but the demand for preloved clothing, toys and other items is increasing in a pressured financial climate. We have diversified to ensure we can carry some added essential items including school uniforms, coats etc this year to meet a growing need. We have again this year been well supported by our volunteers, without whom, our ability to open would be significantly reduced leading to a drop in income. Although the shop is small, it drives immense value to the charity in so many ways, through donations and resale of course, but signposting, building community awareness and ensuring the charity, through it's relationship with Age UK Kent Rivers is able to respond when it can to requests for assistance. We are always very grateful for the hard work of our very small paid staff team, who through their loyalty, long service and high level of commitment have helped keep the shop shining brightly in a high street growing, sadly, dimmer each year. snakey JM Noriey / Group Chief Executive Officer Page 2
Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Trustees' report For the year ended 31 March 2025 The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements 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 Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. Objectives and activities a. Policies and objectives The purpose of the charitable company is to promote the relief of older people in Gillingham and Medway. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance Public benefit: running a charity (PB2). b. Significant activities The charitable company operates a charity shop which raises funds for its related charitable company, Age UK Kent Rivers. c. Grantmaking The charity provides small grants to applicants from the sister charity Age UK Kent Rivers, from the welfare fund, designed to facilitate take up of Age UK Kent Rivers services for those experiencing financial hardship, or awaiting statutory financial support. d. Volunteers Volunteers provide the retail cover which enables the re-sale of donated goods at the Skinner street shop.All of the donated goods are either dropped off at the site or collected by our volunteers. Our volunteers are at the core of the staff resources that the charity has, employing only two staff (employed by sister charity Age UK Kent Rivers), in part time roles to provide essential skeleton cover, the other staff in the shop across a 4-day rota are all volunteers, some 6 in total. Donated goods must be sorted, priced, cleaned and rotated of course to give customers the maximum choice, and a level of refreshed stock. The contribution of donated goods and volunteers has not been included in the Statement of Financial Activities as the value of their contribution cannot be reliably quantified in financial terms. Achievements and performance Financial review a. 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 concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. Page 3
Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 b. Reserves policy The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charitable company and have established a policy under which the free reserves held by the charitable company should be between three and six months of the resources expended, that is between £12,650 and £25,200. This provides working capital and would enable the charitable company to continue operations in the event of a significant drop in funding long enough to reduce or cease its activities in an orderly manner. At 31 March 2025 the free funds amounted to £17,725 (2024: E13,295). This level is acceptable, and includes some provision for the end of lease dilapidation works that will be required, as well as funds to carry out our duties as a tenant in the building, maintaining the boundary walls, services and drains etc. The balance on all restricted and unrestricted funds and explanation of why held can be found in note 16 to the financial statements. The Statement of Financial Activities shows a deficit for the year of E12,586 (2024: surplus of £1,165). Our reserves stand at £24,903 (2024: £37,489). Structure, governance and management a. Constitution Age Concern Gillingham was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 25 June 1999, with registration number 03796120, and was registered with the Charity Commission on 28 February 2000 with registration number 1079572. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The members of the charitable company are the trustees named on the information page. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, their liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to E10 each. b. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees Trustees are recruited from a wide range of backgrounds to ensure an appropriate mix of skills and experience Trustees are encouraged to observe our day-to-day operations. Trustees are also encouraged to attend appropriate training courses, for which we pay. The chairman and trustees are elected at least once every three years by the members attending the charitable company's annual general meeting. They may serve for three years and are eligible for re-election. The chairman may serve for a maximum of six years. The board of trustees has the power to appoint persons to fill any casual vacancies, and to co-opt persons to the board. c. Organisational structure The charitable company is administered by the board of trustees and managed by its executive officer. d. Risk management The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Trustees have identified that the key risk to the charity is the availability of volunteers and staff to adequately sustain the opening hours of the charity shop. This is a nationwide issue, impacting post pandemic and running on well into the new financial year. Mitigations are in place within the charity to minimise staff turnover and maximise effectiveness of recruitment of both staff and volunteers. Page 4
Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 Plans for future periods The charity will continue to provide the retail outlet as the main source of income generation. This retail outlet will be diversified through social media platforms and online sales too, to support the charity in generating the maximum possible from donated goods, but also to match the customers transition to online purchasing. We will also test the viability of Bank Holiday opening, aligning ourselves with other charity shops in the area. Statement of Trustees' responsibilities The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistentiy; observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2025 1. General information Age Concern Gillingham is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10. The company is registered in England and Wales, Registered Number 03796120 and its registered office is Age UK Kent Rivers, The Mackenney Centre, Woodlands Road, Gillingham, Kent, ME7 2BX. The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (f). Figures are rounded to the nearest Pound. 2. Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Age Concern Gillingham meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 2.2 Going concern The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. This is made in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements. No material uncertainties exist that may cast doubt over the abilities of the charitable company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the trustees. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income from the sale of goods is recognised when the charity has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. 2.4 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly . to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Page 9
Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2025 2. Accounting policies (continued) 2.4 Expenditure (continued) Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets costing ENIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Fixtures and fittings 33% on cost and straight line over lease term 33% on cost and 20% on cost Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. At each reporting date the charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. 2.6 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 2.7 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Age Concern Gillingham (A company limited by guarantee) Notes to the financial statements . For the year ended 31 March 2025 2. Accounting policies (continued) 2.8 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 2.9 Financial instruments The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.10 Pensions The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. 2.11 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 3.
