Values are oiven to the iieaiESt thousand. The over811 rewlt foi. the year 2024125 was a loss of £20k and resulted in a deC[￿e in net 2ssets to £301L ExpendiÉure was £l18k compared with £124k in 2023124. Illcome was £99k compared with £127k in the previous year 2023124. The income had decwed due to the Meal grnit which was halved by Nottingham City Council due to pressures on their own budget. We also did not hold any Diwali event which contributed greatly towards the into￿e in the previous year. The dem8lld from the cornmunity for the charities service5 Stayed strong, howeveT dlle to increased prices the expenses weiE Still high. The Income from Day Care and Lunch Club decreased. The Day c&e income £16k compared to £16.4k in 202312024. The Dosti Luncbeon Club income was £44k compared to £47k in 202J124. Principal income sources ICCA Day Care The Day Care services based at tbe IndiaJ] Centre is an award WiDJJillg service, having won the National C8re Award in the Care Team category in the p&8t in the p￿tIO10￿ Care sector awards. This year the day centre CODtinued to deliver its services and support to our vulnerable elders who use the centre alld in response to denwids fron] the community. The centre has continued to provide sustsined support, Care, by means of social inclusion and promotiDn of people's independence in partnership with other statutory and volnntary oiganisations. We provided care to citizens with sensory or physical disabiIities, citizens with mental health problems and other healtb related issues. OUT services also provide(L respite to carers. Ow Day Centre remains the busiest and best attended ill the City of Nottingham amongst the BME centres but this is partly as a result of tbe ICCA protscting its Day Care clieELts from rises in the costs of providing care tbrough our partttership witb Nottingham and NOttinghan￿h1￿ Social Services. The ICCA subsÉdises these costs throu￿ its c}￿ltable investment of over £IOK each year so that users do not have to wory about increased costs of attendance. Due to the financial Changes in the social sector, with tbe tntrodudion of self-directed support and personal budgets and the need for efficiency savings by goven)n]ent and local governtnent bodies> plus higher charges and stricter eligibility criteria for those using Day Care Services, the overall number of attendees and the number of days that they attend has seen some reductions. Citizens who were able to attend benefited from ihe wide range of activities that were still being provided. It is irnportant that the ICCA and its p&kners continue to promote the benefits of attending our Day Care to vulner2ble elderly membeTS of our commuTJity. ICCA Dosti Luncheon Club The Dosti Luncheon clT]b continues to be Ftyar with local residents and staff working in local businesse8 and tbe broader public and delegates at conferences and meetings booked in the centre.
