Trustees Report for period ending 31st March 2025

The Trustees present their report together with financial statements for the period ended 31[st] March 2025. The trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and with those of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Incorporation

The Company was incorporated on the 16[th] November 2001 and commenced activity on that date.

Constitution

The Company is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered number 4324214. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 16[th] November 2001.

The Company is also a registered Charity, registered charity number 1091501.

Directors

During 2024/5 the Directors, who are also Trustees, are listed below:

Ms Michelle Smith, (appointed 31/3/22) Mr Simon Collins (appointed 31/3/22)

Ms Nikkie Parry (Trustee only appointed 31/3/22)

Being a Company Limited by guarantee there is no share capital. There is now no direct link between the organisation which applied for the initial set-up grants for The Gateway Centre, The Glaxo Neurological Trust (now known as The Brain Charity) and The Gateway Centre Limited itself, nor is there any trading relationship aside from occasional room bookings, between these 2 neighbouring organisations.

Objects

The Company was established with the following charitable purposes, which form part of Gateways registered charity objects:

The advancement of education through the provision of learning opportunities for the disabled, the disadvantaged and the poor, and to support other organisations that aid and assist such persons;
To relieve the needs of patients suffering from disabilities;
To advance the education of the public in all matters concerning disabilities.

Review of activities and future plans:

Gateway continues re-building after a devastating 2020/1 when our business was severely adversely affected with the Covid-19 closures and reduced activity from customers as they generally transferred training courses from face-to-face to Zoom/Teams.

Income fell by £33.3k over the previous year with expenditure down by £21.5k mainly due to decreased premises costs, and bad debt costs.

With the involvement of regular clients on a weekly basis and with projecting the income forwards, we were able to look to a positive future at Gateway and being able to cover our day to day responsibilities. The decision was then taken to remove the firsts floor premises from market and continue to pursue trading from our current premises.

We were able to access some grant funding from central Government as compensation for being closed and then with reduced activity. We have also been able to receive support for our business rates.

In 2024/5 the total number of enquiries received dropped to 220 of which 40% were converted into income generating events, up 35% from last year.

Over the last 12 months we have assisted 18 charitable and not for profit organisations based locally, regionally and nationally in providing training and educational opportunities for disabled and disadvantaged individuals. Discounts ranging from 25-75% from standard room hire prices were offered as in-kind support for these organisations in line with our charitable objectives.

In addition to those organisations specified above, Gateway generated £5500 from non-primary income from corporate business, video-conferences, and conference income from Limited Companies. This is well within the £50K limit specified by Charities Commission for organisations with a turnover in excess of £250K.

The number of centre users over the past year has seen 3458 individual visits, 30% up on the previous year. This can broadly be divided into 2 categories: an increasing percentage of conference and training centre users, and more individuals to see MPower People, our only resident charitable organisation on-site and drop-in coffee shop users.

The Virtual Office Programme has continued during the year and generates some additional income for the organisation. The number of clients fluctuates, and there is certainly excess capacity currently. Similarly, office services income from photocopying, faxing, laminating and drop-in internet access also contributes towards our overall turnover.

The coffee shop has been a good service for Gateway in this period especially as we are now able to provide our own buffets for internal meetings rather than relying on costly external caterers. Income in the full year of 2024/5 was £5725 with food costs of £2152 giving a trading surplus of £3572 as there is no longer dedicated staff cost for this service.

During the year, the main income was generated by providing access to training space for organisations helping to train local unemployed people in employment skills.

Gateway supported MpowerPeople with free and subsidised office space and access to training and project space to the value of £15000 this year.

Gateway has supported Richmond Fellowship with access to a ground floor room on a regular basis for group meetings. With further discounts of up to 75% off the standard room hire rate offered on over 40 of the incomegenerating events Gateway hosted during the year to not for profit organisations, an additional £5500 of in-kind support was given by The Gateway Centre in the period 2024/5

Gateway provided in-kind support to these projects assisting people with disabilities and local disadvantaged people. Therefore, Gateway continues to assist organisations which assist individuals with disabilities and can demonstrate in the year a total of £34400 of in-kind support, which directly meets our charitable objectives.

Cumulatively, over the past 21 years, Gateway has provided more than £1m of in-kind support to local charitable organisations, supporting more than 900 different local, regional and national not for profit organisations

Financial Review

In 2024/5 the total income was calculated at £149277. Expenditure was £123817 giving a trading surplus of £25460. Income was £5.6K up from previous year with expenditure £33.75k lower from reduced premises costs, reduced bad debts and less depreciation.

In looking at the balance sheet, the total funds of the charity were up by £13601 at £449104 from the sale of the ground floor lease and our cash in the bank figure is enhanced by £47.8k from this time last year.

Reserves

The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the Charity. The reserves are currently such that the charitable objectives can be met in the event of any future uncertainty. The reserves policy is such that at least 6 months’ minimum running costs for the organisation are accessible in the event of any financial uncertainties. The Directors have established the core charitable functions for the organisation and ensure that funds are available to maintain these services as a priority. Up to £50K of current reserves were placed on higher interest deposit account with HSBC during the year. Any required cash can be recalled at no notice without penalty. 2 bank accounts are maintained so that only the cash required to meet our immediate financial requirements is held in the current account with the balance in the reserve account.

With the initial deposit of £75k from the sale of the ground floor unit at 75 London Road from Sept 2024, we have at last created a safety net for our cashflow. The remaining £100k will be paid in Sept 2025 with Gateway staying in-situ in the coffee shop rent free till April 2026.

The Directors/Trustees are investigating a long-term investment strategy suitable for our requirements.

Risk Management

In the coming year the trustees will continue to examine the major strategic business and operational risks that the charity faces and establish systems so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. A 3 year business plan covering 2022-5 has been developed and is being acted upon, with further developments planned for 2026 and beyond, and ensure that adequate levels of reserves are created as insurance against any future situation.

2025/6 is likely to be a more secure year due to the receipt of the £75k initial fee for the sale of the ground floor lease. A further payment of £100k will be made in October 2026. Costs have been pared back to a minimum level whilst we have significantly reduced expenditure.

Trustees’ responsibilities for the financial statements

Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and accurate reflection of the charity’s and company’s financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing those statements, the trustees and directors should follow best practice and :

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees/directors are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and any other irregularities.

Small Company Exemptions

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the exemptions applicable to small companies as conferred by Schedule VII of the Companies Act 1985.

Auditors

For 2025 the examination of Gateway’s accounts has been completed by RCC, in accordance with section 385 of the Companies Act 1985.
