In Loving Memory of David West - H.A.D Treasurer
Our 2024-2025 Annual Report is in memory of David West our Tresurer who sadly passed away in February 2025. David was a great Treasurer on the H.A.D Board of Trustees. David kindly gave over eleven years of his time, energy, and heart to our Charity.
He was much more than just a Trustee - he was a friend, a steady support, and someone who truly believed in what we do.
We’re so grateful for everything he brought to our organisation and to all of us personally.
His commitment will always be remembered with great affection and is sadly missed by all the staff and trustees of H.A.D.

’ - Chairman s Report Pam Light
We’ve had an eventful year, with both highs and lows.
Sadly, in February 2025, we lost our much-loved Treasurer, David West, after a short illness. This was a great loss to the staff and Board of Trustees at H.A.D. David gave over eleven years of his time volunteering on the Board.
When I was appointed Chairman of H.A.D in 2016, I felt both honoured and a little apprehensive about taking on the responsibility of leading the team and guiding the organisation into the future. I need not have worried — David was always there to offer guidance, share his perspective, and lend his unwavering support. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but our mutual respect meant that every discussion led to a constructive outcome. Together, we built a strong partnership, working collaboratively to move H.A.D forward and ensure a positive future for the charity.
David’s passing came as a profound shock to us all. He is deeply missed — both for his dedication and for the warmth and wisdom he brought to everything he did.
Our Fundraising Golf Tournament at Maylands Golf Club was very successful and enjoyed by all who took part. It was the biggest of our fundraising events this year, organised by Nicola and the team with great enthusiasm. We are also very grateful to the many local organisations who have supported us with donations, including West & Co, Co-op, Asda, the Worshipful Company of Coopers, and The Ford Britain Trust.
The team, who are extremely motivated, have also run a series of one-off events and Supper Clubs throughout the year. Nicola’s Friendship Club at MyPlace continues to be a great success and is enjoyed by an increasing number of attendees.
My thanks, as always, go to our wonderful team — Cheryl, Nicola, Denise, Vikki, and Suzanne — who continue to surprise us with their innovation and energy. Thank you!
And finally, a very big thank you to all our volunteers, who are always there when needed. We couldn’t do it without you.
Pam Light Chairman
Treasurer’s Report for year ended 31 March 2025
2025 Year end
Income funding from the Local Borough was similar to the previous year with funds for the Warm Space initiative continuing, and a grant from Ford Britain Trust. General fundraising was the main area where Income was higher than the previous year with a number of positive features including our third Golf Day which again was a great success. There were also some individual fundraising efforts such as runners in The Big Half and the office staff Walking the Thames Bridge Trek there was and a good number of other smaller donations. Overall, H.A.D Income for the year to 31 March 2025 amounted to £131k around the same as last year.
Costs for the financial year £134.5k reflecting the impact of inflation on our costs and an increase in grant monies utilised during the year.
Overall, we had a small deficit in the year of £3k which left us with reserves at the year-end at a level of £214k. Of this total amount £142k is designated as Free/Unrestricted which is the amount available to support the charities operations should we find ourselves in times of difficulty or wish to support the extension of the services we offer.
Longer-Term Outlook
Our financial performance to date has remained positive as we move throughout the year. We still face headwinds in the current year such as the impact of inflation on our running costs. However, the team led by Cheryl, continue to work hard to find ways of offsetting these additional costs where they can by finding more affordable methods of running the services we provide.
We continue to look at fundraising opportunities and have several events planned.
As always, our thanks go to our funders and many supporters – all the funds provided or generated are very much appreciated.
I would again add thanks to the staff, volunteers, service users and supporters of H.A.D for their ongoing support which is extremely important to everyone involved with H.A.D.

Manager's Report
As I look back on another year of our services, I can take time to reflect on the incredible impact that we’ve all made together. Through our hard work and effort, Havering Association for People with Disabilities (H.A.D) has continued to empower adults living with a disability to live fulfilling lives, make new friendships and learn new skills.
I will be forever grateful to my small team; all have gone above and beyond in their support and shown strength and resilience throughout the year within their roles.
We also have a brilliant team of volunteers and to show our appreciation we nominated Glynis Youngs our amazing Arts & Crafts volunteer for a prize of a weekend away from ‘Room to Reward’. This is a great collective effort of being able to appreciate our volunteers and the great work they do for Charities.
H.A.D provides various activities throughout the year. Our Arts & Crafts allow the creativity of our clients to flourish, and our Social Groups encourage friendships and help increase social inclusion.
In addition to our regular classes, we have hosted Garden Parties, Day Trips to Walton on the Naze. Our Evening Supper Clubs give our clients an opportunity to socialise in a safe space. We are grateful to be supported with these by The Coopers Coborn & Company School and The Worshipful Company of Coopers.
We were successful in obtaining small grants from Co-op Community Fund, Asda, Ford Britain and London Borough of Havering for Warm Spaces Project.
From a recent survey 94% of people rated our services high quality or above
28,000 given in donations. Thank you to each and every person who donated

Fundraising & Project Lead Report
Our regular groups are still going strong at Whittaker Hall, along with The Friendship Café at MyPlace in Romford. This continues to run with the support of NELFT funding as a welcoming “Warm Space.”
Our seated exercise class at St John’s Church is also thriving and growing each week!
We had a lovely visit from “Antique Ann,” who brought along some fascinating old items to test our knowledge — it was great fun guessing what they were used for!
The students from The Coopers Company and Coborn School have continued to be a big part of our activities. Not only have they cooked delicious meals and entertained us at our supper clubs, but they also treated everyone to an outdoor choir performance in the garden. Our clients enjoyed the music while sampling tasty cakes baked by the children.
We’ve also been busy attending community events to share more about what we do. This included the Havering Over 50’s Forum, Dementia Action Alliance Information Day, and the Routes 4 Life Adult Transition Events.
In September, we enjoyed our annual coach trip — this year to Walton-on-theNaze! We strolled along the promenade to the pier, explored a bit, we sat and tucked into our packed lunches. On the way home, we couldn’t resist stopping for ice creams and doughnuts — the perfect end to a wonderful day out.
December was full of festive fun! The Coopers Company and Coborn Choir returned to perform for our second “Carols in the Garden” event, which brought the community together beautifully. Our Christmas Party at The Cranleigh, Hornchurch, was another great success — though sadly our last one at that venue. We rounded off the season with three busy days of buffet-style Christmas lunches for our clients, spreading joy and good company all around.
