Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Elmbridge Mencap is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 6 August 2002 and registered as a charity on 18 November 2002. The charity was established under its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In the event of the charity being wound up, members may be required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Elmbridge Mencap is an independent charity affiliated to the Royal Mencap Society.

Appointment of Trustees

The Articles of Association allow for a maximum of 16 Trustees. Honorary officers are elected from the membership at the AGM until the next AGM, when they are eligible for re-appointment. Trustees serve for a period of three years with one third standing down each year. The Trustees have the power to co-opt a member at any time to fill a vacancy, provided that not more than one-third of the Trustees would be co-opted members.

All members are circulated with invitations to nominate Trustees prior to the AGM advising them of the retiring Trustees and requesting nominations for the AGM.

Trustee induction and training

New Trustees are given copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, latest accounts and details of current financial standing, and Charity Commission literature regarding their legal obligations under charity and company law, and informed of any changes as and when they become known. They are also given copies of all current policies agreed by the Charity. All Trustees are kept informed about, and vote for, the adoption or otherwise of the annual budget, and are encouraged to attend external training events which could improve their role as Trustees.

Organisation

The Board of Trustees, which normally meets ten times a year, administer the charity and are responsible for all major decisions of the charity regarding activities, pricing, staff salaries, capital expenditure and investment of funds as well as the strategic direction and policy of the charity. Job specifications give clear detail of roles and responsibilities.

Risk Management

The Trustees have a risk management process which comprises:

At the present time the Trustees believe that there are no risks connected with the internal management of the charity beyond those of staff dishonesty, which are managed by supervision of income and accounting functions and internal control processes and are insured. Because the charity operates its activities from Burview Hall it is exposed to risk should their landlord not extend or renew their lease.

Fundraising

The charity does not utilise professional fundraisers or commercial participators in our fundraising activities. The charity carries out limited scale fundraising events that contribute consistently to the reserves. The Trustees were delighted to be able to hold 2 successful jumble sales and a Christmas Fair during 2023.

2

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity’s funds have historically been spent in the short term (under 5 years) and the Trustees require that a generous level of reserves is maintained in liquid savings accounts. However, following receipt of a large legacy during 2019, the Trustees have taken the decision that a large investment should be made in an investment portfolio with a longer-term horizon with a view to securing the long-term future of the charity, this may involve funding from reserves both projects that the Trustees believe are crucial to the future of the charity and operating deficits incurred whilst providing our core services.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the charity are to provide support for people with a learning disability, in particular by the provision of practical help for them and for their families, dependants and carers, and to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for the recreation or other leisure time occupation for people who have need thereof by reason of learning disability with the object of improving their quality of life.

To achieve its objectives the charity leases Burview Hall in Walton-on-Thames from Walton Charity. The hall is equipped and used by the charity as the main venue for its activities. When not required by the charity the hall is hired to other organisations and individuals who support people with learning disabilities. It is the charity’s policy to keep this hire charge as low as possible to ensure full use of the hall. We encourage employment and integration with the general public of people with learning disabilities.

The main activities for the year continued to be the upkeep and hiring out of Burview Hall and the running of the charity’s own programme of events, which comprised the following:

The policies used to achieve the objectives have continued to be:

Achievements and performance

The Day Service has grown from strength to strength with an increase in the number of clients attending (30+) far exceeding initial projections. This is due in part to the hard work and enthusiasm displayed by the Day Service staff but also due to the decision by Elmbridge Borough Council to close many of its day services. We were approached by Elmbridge Borough Council in October 2023 and held discussions for several months regarding the council’s plans to close Cobham Link and our ability to take more clients. This has resulted in an increase in day service clients, with financial support from the council taking effect in April 2024.

Hall hirings have now almost returned to levels approaching those before the pandemic. The mainstays of our own activities continue to be our staff and volunteers.

We were delighted to be able to return to hiring out the Walton Playhouse for a performance by the Desborough Players.

We were very pleased to be chosen by Squires Garden Centre to be their Charity of the Year (2022-23). We are grateful for the support Squires have given us, including donations of items for the Sensory Garden.

We are delighted by the refurbishment of the kitchen, with increased storage capacity, new convection hob and double oven and large fridge/freezer. A rising work surface has been installed to enable those in a wheelchair or less mobile to prepare food while seated.

3

Our new website went live during 2023 giving visitors a chance to view online all the wonderful facilities at the hall and help promote the services on offer. This has led to an increase in awareness of Elmbridge Mencap and driven more enquiries about our activities and the letting of our facilities.

Elmbridge Mencap Activities

A description of our activities is set out below.

Day Service

Run three days a week, offering a range of activities including arts and crafts, bowling, films, gardening, pool, and snooker, as well as sensory room sessions. Clients are also encouraged to help in the preparation of their own lunch.

Nova Club

Our evening club for adults has 40 members, many of whom regularly attend the fortnightly sessions held throughout the year. A diary of events allowed club members to know what activities would be run each evening.

Youth Club

The number of attendees has gradually increased over the year with members enjoying a range of activities including judo, movie nights, craft activities and treasure hunts in our outdoor spaces.

Family Fun Afternoon

This activity has become more popular with at least 5 or more families attending each session.

Financial Review

The charity had a satisfactory year, showing an overall surplus of £5,209 (2022: £9,102). Hall letting income continues steady £21,877. In addition, many of our regular fundraising activities were held including two jumble sales and Christmas fair that generated £4,910. The Day Service has generated an income of £92,194. Our fundraising activities and the generosity of our friends and supporters has resulted in grant and donation income of £14,922. We spend time reviewing our annual budget and reserve policy to enable us to meet our financial challenges as a viable charity. All means of making savings plus extra fundraising will still need to continue to be thoroughly investigated in 2024.

The Trustees believe that the performance of the charity during 2023 leaves us well placed for 2024 and beyond.

4

Reserves Policy

At the end of 2023 the charity’s reserves stood at £419,763 of which £91,466 represents restricted reserves and £304,846 represents designated reserves. This leaves the general funds in a surplus position of £23,451.

Our Reserves policy is based on Designated and any Restricted Funds, which are reviewed annually. The review is carried out together with our annual budget and strategic plan review towards the end of our financial year. The charity had no Permanent or Expendable endowments during 2023.

Fund Policy
Long Term Hall
Maintenance		 Under the terms of our lease, we are obliged to redecorate internally. The fund now also
covers the five yearly fixed wiring testing and emergency lighting testing; and any future
major repairs and replacement.

and youth evening clubs, pay for insurances, etc, if Burview Hall was unable to be used for
up to a year and we had no access to or income from the hall hire. This fund is reviewed
annually.
The H Freeman

Plans

The Trustees’ policy of working with other groups will continue. We will continue to review approaches from organisations that meet the objectives of the charity.

Public Benefit

The Trustees are satisfied that the activities undertaken by the charity as outlined under Objectives and Activities and Achievements and Performance constitute a significant public benefit to members of the local community with learning disabilities and that they have therefore complied with the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

Company law requires the Trustees, who as stated above are the Directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which 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.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included in the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of Financial Statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Elmbridge Mencap (the

company”)

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 4 to 21.

  2. The accounts do not accord with those records: or

  3. The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair view” which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination: or

  4. The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]
