All directors give of their time freely and no director received remuneration in the year Monitoring and Evaluation Citizen Development Communty Centre is commiited to the robust monitoring and evaluation of its activrties, so Ihat we can effectively identify and measure the impact on the lives of those we support. We have embedded monitoring and evaluation processes throughout all our projects.

In addition. we seek to ￿)llect feedback from those using our servI￿s. ￿lch allows us to assess our impact in their lives and the varied issues that they fa￿. Charitable Aclivities of Public Benefrt: Trustees have COTnplied with their duty in section 17 of the charib.es Act 2011 to have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on pub]i¢ benefit in deoiding whTrch activities the tharity should undertake. Without volunteers. Missing People could not be a lrfeline vthen someone disappears. Volunteers gain new experiences within the voluntary sector, leam from highly-trained staff and gain and develop new skills that will stay wilh them forever. Volunteers can make a real difference to missing people and their families by giving their time at the charity's central office in London. or in any part of the UK through our local volunteer programme. The strategic goals are designed lo work together. They have the greatest possible impact on children and older peoples lives when combined. Ensure that the policy changes needed to end social exclusion are adopted. Demonstrate that poor health outcomes (zn be ended in our priority areas. End the social exclusion of more people through our direct services. End inequalities for more people who are excluded from help or have complex needs. Leaming English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) We provided ESOL (x)urses to ensure that women from Blad( Asian minority Ethnics IBAMEI who have no or low levels of English proficiency develop the knovAedge and understanding, ski115. capabilities and attributes vthich they need for mental, emotional, social. physical and economical wellbeing. now and in the future. participate in, integrate, interact and access servFces in their communibes. We've worked with the Io(31 communty to improve pract1￿. share leaming, and identfy areas for irnprovement in support for older people experiencing loneliness across the 5of16

borough. This approad) identtfied oldei pety are feeling lonely and expk)ring with them what their individual route out of loneliness via meaningful supwrt could ￿. It was preventative in design and aitned to actively reach out to older people vtho may be seldom heard or traditionally hidden from services and offer them person centred support. Generous fvnding allowed us to support older people to take part in mental and physical exercises The group adivities were a great way to help older adults participate in more physical activities. Once they had fun and felt as part of a community. they became more likely to keep up the momentum. Delivery reached over 35 older people through high- and low-level exercise classes. Evidence indicates that the program¥ne had a positive impact on: Energy levels and fatigue Emotional wellbeing The level of unexpected health(2re appoinlments. saving the NHS as a result. Cost of living crisis V￿th older people suggests that of all Ihese unsettling events. the costwof-living crisis has been Ihe greatest concern of all. Such has been the scale of the energy price rises we have already seen. and those projected for the months to Gome. that even pensioners who believed their financial situation to be secure have been alanned. with good cause. The position of those on low fixed in￿rnes. andlor bearing higher fuel costs due to disability or illness, or because they live in homes that are expensive to heat. has appeared increasingly perilous. As the year went on and the news about inflation steadily worsened it became evident that wtlhout suprx)rt older people who would be in serious difficulty. Our greatest fear was that if these older people were unable to make ends meet, Ihis would threaten not only their standard of living but also their health and wellbeing if, for example. they had to skifflp on essentials like food and fuel. Going concem COVID-19 is not expected to have a Signifi￿nt impact on Ihe entity. Management has determined that there is no material uncertainty that casts doubt on the enttty's ability to continue as a going Gon￿rn. It expects that COVlD-19 might have some impact, though not significant. for example. in relation to exFEcled futu￿ perfomiance, or the effects on some future asset valuations. Plans for future peri¢xls- Our priorities for 2024-2025 reflect growing demand for our services and we aim to". Deliver high qualty services that enable the charity sL3bilty. financial security, improved wellbeing and the development of positive relationships.

FurK&¥J Reserves policy and going concern- Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between Ihe spending and r￿1VIng of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The trustees consider that the Ideal level of reserves is three months of expenditure Risk management: The trustees have a risk management strategy which compnses: an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face. the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks idenbfied in the annual review: the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. This work has identtfied that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due. regular ￿ndraiSing activities. and active 7of16

management of trade debtor5 and creditors balanc￿ to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety. These risks are managed by ensuring accredrtation is up to date. having robust policies and prO￿dureS in pla￿, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas. Law applicable to charilies in England and Wales reqLJires the directors to prepare financial statement for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the stale of affairs of the charity for the period. In preparing those financial statements. the directors are required to= Selecl suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently Make judgment and estimates that are reasonable and prudent" Stale whether applicable accounting standards and Slatement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statement and: Prepare the financial statements on a going cOn￿M basis.
