TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees’ report and the Financial Statements of Elmbridge Mencap (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Objectives and activities (continued)

d. 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:

A regular review of the risks the charity may face, both financial and non-financial. This appears as a standing item on the agenda of every executive committee meeting of Trustees. Procedures are in place to minimise the impact should those risks occur.

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 2024.

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, dependents 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:

Day Service: Offering a variety of activities for adults with learning disabilities three days a week. Nova Club: An evening social club for adults with learning disabilities held fortnightly throughout the year. Youth Club: An evening club for the 16-25 year olds with learning disabilities, which are held fortnightly throughout the year.

Cinema Night: A monthly showing of DVD’s on a large screen;

Family Fun: A monthly afternoon session for families with a child or children with a learning disability or additional needs to get together;

One to One: An evening social club for adults with learning disabilities held weekly throughout the year.

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

To grow and promote the Day Service offering. To keep the hiring of Burview Hall affordable and attract new hirers. To keep the structure and decoration of the building well maintained; To work and cooperate with other similar minded learning disability organisations. To increase our volunteer base.

Objectives and activities (continued)

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.

We were pleased to return to hiring out the Walton Playhouse for a performance by the Desborough Players in January 2024. The annual pantomime is immensely enjoyed by our clients and club members in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

We were delighted to receive a grant from the Baily Thomas Charitable Fund for the purpose of replacing the front door with upgraded automatic sliding doors more suited to the increase footfall now experienced and for use by those in wheelchairs.

The new website which went live during 2023 has proved a great success in promoting our services and giving visitors a chance to view online all the wonderful facilities at the hall. This continues to lead to an increase in awareness of Elmbridge Mencap and has 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, sound bowl yoga, hand and arm massage, 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 published diary of events allow club members to know what activities will be run each evening.

Youth Club

The number of attendees continues to increase 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

Cinema Night

One to One

One to One provide a weekly evening leisure activity which includes discos, dancing, crafts, boccia and curling.

Other Organisations’ Open Activities

Financial Review

Page 4

ELMBRIDGE MENCAP

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Objectives and activities (continued)

Christmas fairs that generated £6,566. The Day Service has generated an income of £181,886. Our fundraising activities and the generosity of our friends and supporters has resulted in grant and donation income of £44,928. 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 2024 leaves us well placed for 2025 and beyond.

Achievements and performance

Financial review

a. Reserves policy

At the end of 2024 the charity’s reserves stood at £494,710 of which £111,278 represents restricted reserves and £304,846 represents designated reserves. This leaves the general funds in a surplus position of £78,586. 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 2024.

b. 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.

Structure, governance and management

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Statement as to disclosure to our Independent Examiner

In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approving our annual report: there is no relevant information, being information needed by the Independent Examiner in connection with preparing their report, of which the Independent Examiner is unaware, and

the Trustees, having made enquires of fellow Trustees and the Independent Examiner that they ought to have independently taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a Trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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:

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Elmbridge Mencap ('the charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination. I report in respect of my examination of the company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Chartities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act") and in carrying out my examination I have followed the application Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and reports) regulations 2008 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
