REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To improve the conditions of life of the inhabitants of St Radigunds ward in Dover without distinction of political, religious or other opinions by the provision of facilities for charitable services, recreation and other leisure time occupation.
To the furtherance of the charitable work of the charity by the advancement of such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time decide.
Significant activities
During 2025 the Board elected a new Chair, Sandra Inglis, who was keen to start developing the charity acting on feedback gathered from stakeholders during its consultation in 2024 about its limitations and potential.
Two additional Board members, with charity and finance experience, joined the charity late in the year. The senior manager of the charity started a bursary funded Charity Law and Governance Certificate in October as the Board are keen to have the skills for improvement and compliance within the charity.
The Board has met regularly and ensured it has met all its statutory and regulatory obligations. It recognises the importance of its individual and corporate responsibility and works to follow best practice governance frameworks.
This feedback influenced the delivery of a community cost of living course at the centre with funding from Dover District Council. A more proactive use of social media as a place where beneficiaries could find information to provide them with opportunities was implemented with a focus on promoting that we are a charity and answerable to local resident and not local authorities.
The partnership with nearby Buckland Community Centre developed and both centres are now jointly promoted as hireable community venues. The charity continues to talk to other community stakeholders with a view to more joint working, sharing grants to deliver across all wards in the town. The small youth club for teenagers, run by our volunteers, used such an opportunity to be part of an Artworks project which saw them become "Blue Influencers", experiencing photography, wildlife excursions and history tours.
A focus on improving health in the community has delivered new social prescribing sessions delivered in partnership with the Kent NHS Trust, active volunteering with White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Employment support and training have been provided through the DWP grant funded Disabilities into Work appointments and Qualifications for the Unemployed schemes. Dover Community Radio CIC secured funding from the Port of Dover to move its studio into a room at the centre providing then with a more suitable venue and the charity with valuable extra income but also new opportunities to work together and engage with the community and promote the charity and its work.
This has seen an impact too:
Free community social opportunities - 188 hours Free / low-cost health & fitness activities - 251 Free training & support services - 925 hours Activities to attend - 481 hours Average resident attendance at open activities 50% Resident young people (13-17 years) regularly attending youth club - 10
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty as prescribed in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
