And a number of individual donors
This year has been an exciting year with activities finally getting back to normal and an expansion of our work. The past few years has been difficult particularly with the effects of coronavirus and the repeated lockdowns which has had an effect on both older people and children and young people mental health.
This year we finally reopened our lunch club back in Grosvenor hall which has been our base since we began 23 years ago. This was a real highlight to many who welcomed face to face activities again and the enjoyment of meeting others over good food. We added to our activities in February 2024 by beginning a Latin Moves dance class by funding from Westminster City Council Healthy Communities Fund.
The dinner has continued to be very popular with a booking system having to be put in place due to the demand of the activity. Our choir has continued to grow with new members joining and two very popular concerts in summer and Christmas with students from the royal college of music with a medley of songs from the musicals, 40’s, 60’s, and even opera.
Our children’s work has also expanded this year with a grant from Westminster City Council. We are now delivering music and art therapy in a number of schools across Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea. Our numbers have also expanded through referrals from the NHS, schools and the council. We also began our monthly music therapy in the Oval, South London once a month in January as we are aware of the need for music therapy in South London. We also offered placements to students from the Royal College of Music. This would not be possible without funding and a great team of music therapists and art therapists who we always have great feedback.
We are always grateful for our partnerships with a number of places including schools who we work with, the tri borough music hub, the Royal College of Music, the places were we hold functions including Francis
Holland School for Girls and Westminster Kingsway College and funders including Weil, Gotshal and Manges LLp, Westminster City Council, London Community Foundation to name just a few. Without there support our functions would not go ahead which changes so many people’s lives. As you can see from reading the report the impact on people’s lives is profound.
Many of our activities would not function without volunteers as they are essential to them functioning especially events such as the lunch, dinner and music therapy. Many of our volunteers say how much they get out of volunteering and how they enjoy it and learn from it.
Not only does it support our work but volunteers learn from the experience and it helps them grow as a person. We have a range of volunteers including employee volunteers, older people, students. We have been working with Westminster Connects and Time and Talents and Kings College London to ensure we have enough volunteers for our activities.
As we look to the year ahead we are excited about continuing to build our existing activities which have just started. One of our original trustees who was with us when we began 23 years ago and has now sadly passed away always used to say “out of little acorns grow mighty oak trees” This is what In – Deep is becoming with many branches.

TREASURER’S REPORT
I am very glad to have taken over as treasurer of In – Deep this January 2024. In – Deep has always been a cause close to my heart and I have been a volunteer for over 10 years at the dinners. With my background as a bookkeeper, I am delighted to be treasurer and using my skills.
This year our income has allowed us to expand our activities to tackle in – Deep aims of tackling social isolation. I am grateful for our support from Westminster City Council for our children’s work allowing us to expand and also offer individual music therapy and award us 3-year funding from the Healthy community’s fund for our lunch club for older people and to start up our Latin moves dance class.
We are also grateful for the continued support from the London Community Foundation and Pargiter Trust who have helped fund our activities and running costs. The long-term support we have received from organisations has enabled us to continue to grow and provided us the security small charities need so we are grateful for this.
We are also grateful to Weil, Gotshal, Manges LLP, Francis Holland School for Girls and companies including Murphey’s, Careys Ltd, Galliford Try , BAM for fundraising for us and sponsoring our individual activities or giving gifts in kind. This provides a real tangible difference to the people we work with. As In – Deep looks to the next year I am excited to the prospect of the continued support but also the prospect of building on the strong links we have with funders to continue to grow our activities.

LUNCH CLUB AND DANCE
This has been an exciting year after a break due to covid and the refurbishment of our long term base Grosvenor Hall reopened in June 2023. We are now back running our weekly jacket potato every Wednesday from 11.30 – 2.00 with a choice of various fillings including chicken, gammon, tuna, cheese, cheese and beans.
All of the food is cooked healthily in winter we also introduced a hot meal option to help with the cost of living and to provide a good hot meal throughout the winter. This ranged from liver, bacon and vegetables, pie and mash, pork chops, potatoes and vegetables.
Numbers now average 20 people a week with people mainly coming from the local area. The lunch is run by volunteers including local people, employee volunteers and students. Funding has been allocated from Westminster City Council Ward Budget and Westminster Amalgamated Charity. In January 2024 we were awarded a 3 year grant for the lunch from Westminster City Council Healthy Communities Fund.
Dance Class
In February 2024 we began a new initiative thanks to funding from Westminster City Council Healthy Communities Fund. We now run a weekly Latin moves class from 10.30 – 11.30 at Grosvenor hall before the lunch. The sessions are run by a qualified instructor called Bethany and combine elements of samba, salsa and Latin moves. We average 8 – 12 people a session. Feedback has been positive with regulars saying they have improved fitness, coordination, memory and the class has helped them to make friends.
DINNER CLUB
Since January 2003, our monthly community dinners have been a staple in fostering connections among isolated older individuals. Initially held at Grosvenor Hall, our three-course roast dinner, featuring soup, roast chicken, beef, pork, a vegetarian option, roast potatoes, vegetables, and a delightful pudding of the day, served as a heartwarming occasion for the community.
Since May 2021, the Dinners have been held at Westminster Kingsway College. A dedicated venue allows us to continue providing a warm and welcoming space where older individuals can meet, Enjoy live entertainment, and interact with others.
Our dedicated team of volunteers serve an average of 90 people each dinner. This year, we're grateful for the support of the Gordon Family Fund and the Pargiter trust, ensuring the continuation of this meaningful initiative.
OVER 50’S CHOIR
The choir excitedly celebrated it’s 10[th] Birthday in January and over those years It has continued to grow with new members growing. We now have an average number of 18 many of whom are from the local community. We sing a range of songs including 50’s, 60’s, All of this is run by a specialist choirmaster and accompanist. In addition to the rehearsals we do a number of concerts throughout the year which are always a big success and we have enhanced our concerts with a long term partnership with the Royal College of Music were students perform at our concerts. This year we were funded by Westminster City council Ward Budget.
Our Christmas Hamper Scheme stands as one of our longstanding initiatives. Through the generous donations of food items, tea, coffee, festive essentials, and various pantry staples, we assemble and distribute 150 hampers to elderly residents across multiple London boroughs. Collaborating with educational institutions, religious establishments, corporations, and government institutions across London, these partners assist in hamper collection and distribution.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, Westminster School, Francis Holland School for Girls, St. Michael’s Church, Chester Sq, and Weil Ltd for their instrumental support. Furthermore, through a generous donation from the together for London Fund.
This initiative aimed to alleviate some of the financial strains posed, ensuring that our beneficiaries receive both blankets and food vouchers during these unsettled times. In addition to this we also provide food vouchers in order to support both families who come to our services and older service users.
The heightened challenges faced by older individuals and families during this time of year can be isolating. Our service serves as a poignant testament to the impact of a supportive community taskforce.
Our music therapy service, generously funded by Westminster city council, has evolved significantly since its inception in 2017. Specifically catering to children and young people with SEND, we've expanded our offerings to encompass age-appropriate groups spanning ages 3-10, 11-18, and 19-30, with invaluable support from students at the Royal College of Music who undertake placements with us.
Thanks to funding from the Doyle Carte Charitable trust and fundraising events we have opened up a new branch in the Oval, south London and we are delivering music therapy in Kensington Queensmill, Oxford Gardens Primary School, Edward Wilson Primary school and we are delivering art therapy in Essendine primary school and Kensington Queensmill expanding our reach.
We also delivered a second holiday workshop with this year’s theme on Disney and our younger group doing a little mermaid and our older group doing the lion king. This met with positive feedback and was a big success.
Every December at our weekly Lunch club we always do a special Christmas Lunch where a choir from a local school comes in and sings Christmas carols . and meets some of the service users this is always a big success
We also had 2 trips for the families from the music therapy in the Summer and the Winter. In the summer the families went to see Frozen and in the winter they went to see Matthew Bourne's Edward Scissorhands both of which were a huge success and the families really enjoyed this opportunity which they otherwise may not be able to access.

IN-DEEP COMMUNITY TASK FORCE
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
We work with isolated older people and children with send and their families in London. It was founded by a person named Colin Chapman MBE and consists of a management committee of eight and sixty two volunteers.
Since March 2002 the In-Deep Community Task Force have been running a range of activities and services for elderly people living in the area.
Since January 2003, In-Deep Community task force has been running a manicure and pedicure service for the elderly run by trained professionals. This has provided a boost to many elderly people as many suffer from low self esteem and also helps as many elderly people cannot cut their nails due to Arthritis.
In September 2003 we started a monthly roast beef dinner once a month on a Saturday.This consists of a 3 course meal including soup, topside of beef or roast chicken, roast pork etc roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, 3 vegetables and pudding of the day. This has proved hugely popular with the elderly people in the area and numbers are now averaging 100 people per dinner. It also provides the elderly with a good source of iron as many cannot afford beef as they are on low incomes.
In 2012, we started a weekly lunch club in Victoria offering jacket potato with various fillings. This has proved a lifeline as it provides elderly people with a good hot meal.
Since the year 2002, In-Deep Community Task Force have been doing talks across London and they have been donating their harvests collections to us. These are then made up into Christmas hampers and given out to the elderly living on estates in the south of Westminster. Last Christmas we gave out hampers to vulnerable elderly people in the area as well as Lambeth. 360 people benefitted from the scheme through our work. Last year we also put on a Christmas Dinner and gave out presents.
Since 2014 we have been running an over 50's choir with a professional choirmaster and accompanist. Everyone is welcome and we have no audition policy. We sign a range of songs from musicals, 50's, 60's and ?O's. We do several concerts each year.
Since January 2017 In-Deep has been running music therapy sessions twice a month both face to face and online by qualified music therapists to children and young adults with send. We also offer placements to students from the Royal College of Music. We also run trips, woprkshops, do work in schools and support families as it is difficult to raise a child with send.
This coming year we will continue with our important work.
In Deep were winners of the queens award for voluntary service in 2013.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the registered charity at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. The trustees are
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/members of In-Deep Community Task Force on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year ( under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 ( the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

IN-DEEP COMMUNITY TASK FORCE
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
We work with isolated older people and children with send and their families in London. It was founded by a person named Colin Chapman MBE and consists of a management committee of eight and sixty two volunteers.
Since March 2002 the In-Deep Community Task Force have been running a range of activities and services for elderly people living in the area.
Since January 2003, In-Deep Community task force has been running a manicure and pedicure service for the elderly run by trained professionals. This has provided a boost to many elderly people as many suffer from low self esteem and also helps as many elderly people cannot cut their nails due to Arthritis.
In September 2003 we started a monthly roast beef dinner once a month on a Saturday.This consists of a 3 course meal including soup, topside of beef or roast chicken, roast pork etc roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, 3 vegetables and pudding of the day. This has proved hugely popular with the elderly people in the area and numbers are now averaging 100 people per dinner. It also provides the elderly with a good source of iron as many cannot afford beef as they are on low incomes.
In 2012, we started a weekly lunch club in Victoria offering jacket potato with various fillings. This has proved a lifeline as it provides elderly people with a good hot meal.
Since the year 2002, In-Deep Community Task Force have been doing talks across London and they have been donating their harvests collections to us. These are then made up into Christmas hampers and given out to the elderly living on estates in the south of Westminster. Last Christmas we gave out hampers to vulnerable elderly people in the area as well as Lambeth. 360 people benefitted from the scheme through our work. Last year we also put on a Christmas Dinner and gave out presents.
Since 2014 we have been running an over 50's choir with a professional choirmaster and accompanist. Everyone is welcome and we have no audition policy. We sign a range of songs from musicals, 50's, 60's and ?O's. We do several concerts each year.
Since January 2017 In-Deep has been running music therapy sessions twice a month both face to face and online by qualified music therapists to children and young adults with send. We also offer placements to students from the Royal College of Music. We also run trips, woprkshops, do work in schools and support families as it is difficult to raise a child with send.
This coming year we will continue with our important work.
In Deep were winners of the queens award for voluntary service in 2013.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the registered charity at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. The trustees are
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/members of In-Deep Community Task Force on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year ( under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 ( the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
