Reserves Policy
The major part of Contact's income arises from three sources, an annual gift from the local churches
gifts from individuals including gifts from wills and grants from charitable trusts and donations from
other local organisations. The Trustees recognise that funds from any of our funders could cease
without notice and, as a responsible employer, consider that is prudent to maintain reserves sufficient
to meet six months operating costs, say £35,000.

Report of the Directors for the year ended 31 March 202S (continued)
Risk Policy
The Directors recognise that in today's litigious society there is a need to ensure that none of the
services provided causes a level of dissatisfaction that might prompt a client to take legal action
against Contact. The Directors have always maintained a'hands on approach, land continue so to dol
to the management of Contact thereby ensuring that none ofthe services and help provided is beyond
the capability of a good neighbour. The Directors also ensure that the staff, who provide assistance
with completion of application forms for state benefits for example, have access to and undertake
regular training. The Directors regularly review the risks and appropriate action is taken to mitigate
them.
Equal Opportunltles Pollcy
Membership of Contact isopen to all who wish to support its objects, irrespective of nationality, ethnic
or national origins, sex, marital status, race, colour, political or reliEiOUS belief, social or financial
standing. Members will be welcome from those with disability who are able to support the objects of

Contact will make availa ble and provide its services to all mem bers of the Selsdon area regardless of
their age, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, of their sex, marital status or disability,
political or religious belief, social or financial standing.

Report of the Directors for the year ended 31 March 2025 {continued)
Statement of the Responsibilities of the Directors
The directors of Contact.. Selsdon Churches Neighbourhood Care (for the purposes of company lawl
are responsible for preparing the Report of the directors and the financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
Com pany law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each f inancial year which give
a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources
and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for
that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director5 are required to.,
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles
in the Charities SORP,. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state
whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going
concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue its
operations.
Publlc Beneflt
It is the opinion of the Directors that this report makes it clear that 'Contact' exists to serve the people
of Selsdon which it does so willingly and freely. No charges a re made for the services provided, a part
from fares for the shopping bus, the cost of outings and loan equipment charges. The Charity had
hitherto relied heavily on a grant from the local authority and donations from the local churches and
supporters but the local authority gra nt ceased from the f inancia l year 2023124 and reserves that had
been accumulated over previous years are now being depleted
All the directors give of their time freely and no directors, remuneration was paid in the year and no
directors, expenses were charged. There were no related party transactions. Some volunteers claim
for reimbursement of car mileage at rates not exceeding those approved by HM Revenue & Customs.
Any other benefit5 by directors, Staff and volunteers are incidental.

Acting Chair's Report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The beginning of 2025 was marred by the very sad news of the death of He5en
Lishmund, our Chair of Trustees. Helen had been Chair for almost ten years and
had guided Contact with efficiency and good humour. She is much missed, not
only by Contact but by the many other organisations in which she was involved.
Contact is especially appreciative of the generosity of Helen's family and many
friends who made donations to Contact in her memory.
As ever, the Contact office has been very busy supporting our clients and
responding to the many queries from Selsdon residents. Jasmine Singh as
manager and Nina Gibson as her deputy manage the office with great efficiency,
while Suzy Quigley oversees our IT and ensures we comply with General Data
Protection Regulation. They are all a great asset to Contact and without their
combined skills we could not offer the same range of services.
We are fortunate in having a committed band of volunteers who give freely of
their time in many different ways. A loyal band of office volunteers support
Jasmine, Nina and Suzy, responding to our clients in a cheerful and friendly
manner, dealing with a variety of requests and arranging all kinds of support.
Yet more volunteers act as drivers, both of the minibus and individually taking
clients to medical appointments. Our shopping bus schemes would not be
possible without the support of the drivers and escorts. Our programme of
activities, from the monthly coffee morning through a number of outings
throughout the year to our Christmas party, is facilitated by the neighbourly,
good natured care from all the volunteers about whom clients often comment.
The number of clients registered with us remains fairly constant at about 300,
many of whom live alone. The various services described above are all intended
to assist clients maintain their independence, and to help alleviate isolation and
loneliness. All our clients are called at least once every three months, and more
frequently if circumstances have changed, for example following discharge from
hospital. Clients value these calls, knowing there is always 'someone who cares,.
Following the loss of financial support from Croydon Council, the Trustees took
the decision to phase in the use of the reserves and to seek funding where
possible from charitable foundations and trusts. We are grateful to The Ros
Harding Trust, The Albert Hunt Trust and Croydon Relief in Need who have all
made grants to Contact. The Village Club in Selsdon adopted Contact as their
local charity and recently made a very generous donation following a year of
fundraising activities. Donations from St Mary's lunch club and Café Columba
have similarly been gratefully received. As an additional source of funds Friends
of Contact was launched. We have been gratified by the generous support from
clients, volunteers and friends who have pledged regular donations.
Much time is spent researching trusts and charitable foundations who will fund
the voluntary sector. Many potential funders understandably look for time-
limited and well defined projects and few support core or running costs. It is not
easy to 'package' the variety of services offered by Contact into such projects.
The search continues.

As our name indicates, we are well supported by the local churches. We are
indebted to the churches (St John's, St Francis, St Columba's, Selsdon Baptist
Church and Croydon Jubilee Church) for their financial and prayerful support
and for raising our profile. We have also welcomed the opportunity to use the
different church halls (without charge) as venues for meetings, the coffee
morning and social occasions for our clients.
In the short time I have been acting as Chair of Trustees, it has been a pleasure
to work with such an enthusiastic Board of Trustees who display a wide array of
skills. Thanks are due to Maureen Stagg who minutes our proceedings with
clarity and accuracy. Jasmine, Nina and Suzy and a great team of office
volunteers are keen to support our clients in so many different ways and we
have a great band of volunteers without whom Contact could not function. Thank
you to each and every one.
God bless you all
Christine Waring.
Acting Chair of Trustees.

we undertake. the Dire¢lors had hoped that Croydon would allow Contact lo continue the use ol the premises on
that bas15 lor the foreseeable future Al the end of 2012. Croydon decided lo oller us a 25 year lease with effecl
from the 1 sl January 2013 which although rent free. would levy an annual service charge. Initially of £1,600 per
annum. The Lease has yet to be executed and al present there appears lo be no mechanism lor the London
Borough ol Croydon lo collect this sum The accrual has been frozen al curfenl levels
