Re
ort of the Trustees
The trustees who are also directors of Fulham Good Neighbour Service for the purposes
of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity
for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of
Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable
to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Our Hlsto
Founded in 1966, Fulham Good Neighbour Service grew from the Fulham District Nursing
Association, which was established in October 1919.
Following the First World War, the Mayor of the Metmpolitan Borough of Fulham
established the Fulham War Memorial Trust Fund. This funded the construction and
ongoing maintenance of a war memorial, located in Vicarage Gardens on Putney Bridge
Approach. The remainder of the Fund was invested to establish the Fulham District
Nursing Association.
In 1966, the then-named London Borough of Hammersmith became responsible for local
health care provision. Consequently, Fulham District Nursing Association was dissolved.
The Fulham War Memorial Trust Fund transferred the remaining funds to the newly
established Fulham Good Neighbour Service.
In 2006 Fulham Good Neighbour Service moved to Rosaline Hall on Rosaline Road. Built
in 1901, Rosaline Hall was initially a mission hall for the Dawes Road Baptist Chapel.
In 2019 Fulham Good Neighbour SeNice received The Queen's Award for Voluntary
SeNice, and in 2022 won its first international award from the International Congress of
Healthy City Design.
In 2023, Fulham Good Neighbour Setvice was awarded a London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham Civic A ward and represented the Borough at the Local Charity
Champions, Reception at 10 Downing Street.
In 2024 Fulham Good Neighbours promotional film Into The Fold, in partnership with
Media Trust and City Bridge Foundation, won the People's Choice OCFA Charity Film
award in the category of 250K - £450K Turnover, as well as a Smiley Charity Film Award.

A Round U of Our Year 2024-25
Fulham Good Neighbours delivered a broad range of seNices for older people and those
with disabilities across Fulham. via our community centre, in the homes of beneficiaries,
outreach in the community and digitally.
Chief Executive Jamie Hilton left in Spring 2024 after four sterling years, and Flora Taylor
was recruited to the role. Flora has previously managed two local charities and
volunteered with Fulham Good Neighbours.
Fulham Good Neighbours ran a series of clubs focusing on exercise, creative and cultural
interests, plus twice-weekly community meals, led by our Social Clubs Coordinator, Ruth
George. These included the launch of a successful new Textile Club in 2025.
Our home and garden seniices have thrived under the stewardship of Stephen Fay,
Decorating & Home Repair Coordinator. and Barney Valentine, Gardening Projects
Coordinator. A new Digital Inclusion Drop In managed by Rubab Sulhail, Digital Inclusion
Coordinator. broadened our digital support to beneficiaries, while continuing to provide
one-to-one support, device loan and data bundles. Our Volunteer Coordinator led our
Good Neighbour and Befriending programmes with Grace Fabean leaving and Taura Riley
joining in the period.

The Art Club led by Roopa Basu at the launch of the
Fulham Through the Seasons mural - October 2024.
Throughout the year. a series of events were held to celebrate milestones and occasions.
This included the Spring Festival, which featured a performance by the Fulham Good
Neighbours Choir, and the unveiling of Fulham Through the Seasons, a giant mural
created by the Art Club. A smaller version was unveiled by The Deputy Mayor of
Hammersmith and Fulham, Councillor Daryl Brown at our Annual General Meeting and
has taken a permanent position at Rosaline Hall.
Beneficiaries enjoyed an all expenses paid coach trip to Eastbourne and a Christmas Tea
at Hurlingham Club. During the cold months, Fulham Good Neighbours enhanced our offer
to beneficiaries by distributing over 150 M&S Thermal tops via a grant from H&F Giving.
Following reappraisal of our information management, Fulham Good Neighbours
transferred over to a new data management system, Charity Log, to better manage our
beneficiary, task and outcome information. This involved a demanding three-stage
transition period but is now proving highly effective. Cyber security was also reviewed
and an enhanced system introduced.
A review of the facilities and space at Rosaline Hall was conducted and an Options
Analysis provided pro bono by Alan Higgins Architects. The findings of this led trustees to
decide to designate significant reserves to refurbish the community centre, to ensure our
long-term growth.
With three Trustees reaching the end of their term in 2025, Fulham Good Neighbours ran
a recruitment campaign with the result that four new trustees are due to join the board in
financial year 2025-26.

Beneficiaries and staff enjoyed a coach trip to Eastboume - August 2024.
The Research Behind Our Pro'ects
The Index for Wellbeing in Later Life1 identified 40 indicators which enhance an
individual's sense of wellbeing. Of these, creative & cultural participation and physical
activity were the two most significant factors and Art, Choir, Reading, and Chair Based
Exercise projects therefore continue to be core to our work.
In line with the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham Older People's Needs
Assessment 20242
our emphasis is on improving quality of life and allowing individuals to
live independently for as long as possible.
The 65+ population of Hammersmith & Fulham is predicted to increase by 360/0 in total
from 22,780 in 2023 to 30,882 in 2033. Those aged 85 years and over, living in the
borough will increase by 48 % . In Hammersmith & Fulham, 25.6 % of older adults aged
60+ are income deprived. The majority of older people live in the south of the borough.
430/0 of Hammersmith & Fulham residents aged over 65 live alone, the fourth highest
proportion in England. One in five residents over 65 have poor or very poor health and
more than half live with a long-term health problem or disability. Those aged 85 years and
older have a disability rate 4 times higher than those aged 15 to 24 years old.
Fulham Good Neighbours continues to take affirmative action on disability. As perthe local

Financial review
Fulham Good Neighbour Service operated a planned deficit during the year. Substantial unrestricted
reserves ensured full delivery of services, while the financial climate made fundraising challenging.
Trustees made the decision to designate significant reseNes to a refurbishment of the community
centre to ensure our long-term growth.
The charity continues to benefit from a substantial legacy received prior to the pandemic, which was
invested in an Expendable Endowment Fund to help secure its longer-term future.
We actively seek to diversify income streams. Our biggest funders were City Bridge Trust and the
London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham followed by Garfield Weston Foundation. Fulham Good
Neighbours attracted multiyear funding from Garfield Weston Foundation and repeat funding from
Good Things Foundation. We attracted first time funding from H&F Giving's Winter Support Fund.
The Parsons Green Fair continues to provide a significant income of unrestricted funding.

Risk and Reserves Polic
To best manage potential risk to Fulham Good Neighbour Service, an Organisational Risk Register
identifies potential risks to our Governance, Operations, Finance, and Compliance, alongside
measures so to mitigate these risks.
As a minimum, the trustees aim to maintain free reseNes at an equivalent level of up to one yearfs
operational expenditure. At present FGN holds almost nine month's unrestricted reserves of
£254,000. In addition, £255.301 is designated to a property development fund for approved (in
principle) projects for the development of the FGN centre at Rosaline Hall.
As per our policy, free reserves should provide Fulham Good Neighbour Service with adequate
financial stability and the means to meet our chaiitable objectives for the foreseeable future.
The trustees believe that risks to the organisation and its property are adequately covered by its
insurance and reserves. Our reseNes are a mix of designated funds and free reserves. Those funds
designated for a specific purpose are retained as such until that purpose is fulfilled. The trustees
reviewthe value of free reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity's
continuing obligations on a bi-monthly basis.
Fulham Good Neighbour Service is a Going Concern for the foreseeable future.
