Cricklade Open Door Chair’s Report 2025

Thank you all for coming today, this is my seventh year as chair and still going strong. As with last year the trustees have kept a careful watch on financial issues which are much stronger than last year. Our treasurer will say more on that later. Following the last AGM, we welcomed two new trustees Jonathan Taylor and Simon Moreton.

We currently have 60 members, down from last year, who value what Open Door has to offer. A survey of all members was undertaken by Jan: 41 survey forms were completed with views written about the good things/not so good things and changes that could be made at Open Door.

Good things include:

• thanks for all volunteers for their hard work, patience and smiley faces!

• Jan and Chris certainly do more for everyone than they are expected to do.

• I am partially disabled and the help I am given is very much appreciated.

• This is a super all-encompassing friendship group, not just for a particular group of people.

• I love the activities, exercises, games, quizzes etc.

• Cricklade is very lucky to have Open Door, other places are not so lucky.

• I have made new friends.

• My wife and I really appreciate the extra things Jan and Chris arrange for us all – in their

• own time, outside the three Open Door days.

• I would have so much time on my own if it was not for Open Door. I cannot do without it.

• The church service once a month means a lot to me – thank you.

• Music mornings are great, especially followed by the lovely buffet. I would like more!

• It is lovely to have visits from children through the schools and playgroups.

• Outings to pubs for lunches are a real treat.

Amongst the suggestions:

• I am sad that Open Door has to fight for funds and hope that everything can be done to protect its future.

• The doctors’ surgeries should recommend Open Door to their suitable patients.

Once again you the members have enjoyed a varied, stimulating and life enhancing programme Open Door provides. Please continue spreading the word of just what a good experience Open Door is. The usual activities continued, games in the mornings, knitting group on a Monday morning, seated exercises Monday afternoon, bingo on a Thursday afternoon and a hot lunch every day we are open.

Musical activities during the year were Bob and Pete, musicians, and Becky and Lucy, violinists who visited twice. Three musical productions from St Sampson’s Primary School and Manor Prep School as well as five visits from the schools and Thames Preschool. Other activities included a fund-raising coffee morning and Jumble Trail, a visit to White Lodge Care Home 50’s themed fete, delivering mince pies from Manor Prep School to members and participating in St Sampson’s Church Christmas Tree Festival.

As usual food played a big part in the programme a fish and chip lunch celebration to mark 80[th] anniversary of D Day, a lunch at Jicsaw Thai Restaurant, three pub lunches during the year, Christmas Lunch at The White Hart, two tea parties and a pancake afternoon on Shrove Tuesday. The activities throughout the year reflect our partnership with the local community.

I would like to thank Jan and Chris our coordinators for all the work they do throughout the year not just for the time at open Door but all the behind the scenes work as well, especially when they provide lunches from our small kitchen.

Thank you to our fantastic volunteers without whom Open Door would be unable to function. Our drivers who bring our members to and from Open Door and who willingly give up a whole day to drive and support our outings, and the volunteer who organises the driver’s rota not an easy task I can assure you. Last month saw the return to driving of our minibus manager Jonathon Hill. We also have amazing team of escorts who assist on the minibus.

Now to the 33 committed volunteers who, by coming to Open Door every week, ensure that you all have an enjoyable time here. The list of tasks undertaken by them is endless, supporting Jan and Chris, cooking, playing games, chatting and joining in activities, the list goes on and on. The amount of volunteer hours given to Open Door for the year were 3921.5 hours that’s 85.76 hours weekly. Thank you one and all.

I would like to thank my fellow trustees for their support and understanding during the past year. To David for his grasp of the finances and meticulous accounts, to Yvonne our minutes secretary, Helen for being my vice chair and sounding board, Pam Cowler who has taken the role of Health and Safety Advisor and Yvonne Hill who has been active behind the scenes on a variety of issues. Jonathon Taylor and Simon Morton took on the responsibility of the minibus during Jonathon Hill’s absence and Jonathon Taylor has also been seeking new drivers and escorts.

Last but not least, thank you to you our delightful members who make all that we do so worthwhile. Your participation in events and fund-raising activities is much appreciated. We welcome your feedback and ideas and from your comments we seem to be on the right track, so please keep coming and tell your friends about us as well.

Again, members and volunteers stepped up and organised a stall for the jumble trail and a tabletop sale and coffee morning, cake sale and raffle. Thank you to all those who planned, manned and supported these events. We are fortunate that local businesses and the residents of Cricklade recognise Open Door as an important community facility and the role it plays in the community.

Once again, my sincere thanks to everyone who makes Cricklade Open Door possible and the wonderful experience it is.

CRICKLADE OPEN DOOR 2024 ACCOUNTS – COMMENTARY

Overview

Cricklade Open Door sustained its strong performance in 2024, building on the success of 2023. The Cricklade community has shown remarkable support, with increased donations and a renewed grant from Cricklade Town Council. Notably, there has been a significant rise in donations through standing orders. The dedicated efforts of our staff and volunteers, complemented by a variety of organized events throughout the year, have played a pivotal role in strengthening our financial position.

Service Levels

Community day centres, drop-in centres, and lunch clubs across Wiltshire, often managed by small charities, play a vital role in supporting older adults facing frailty or health challenges. These services help individuals maintain their independence and stay in their own homes and communities by providing essential daytime care and support. Cricklade Open Door is the sole facility of its kind serving the Royal Wootton Bassett & Cricklade community area.

In 2024, Cricklade Open Door operated for 148 days, slightly up from 144 in 2023. Meals were served on all operating days. The uptake increased by 5% compared to 2023 but remains significantly below preCOVID levels.

Key Figures:

• ❖ Meals served: 1,403 (an average of 9.5 per day).

• From Cricklade Manor Prep School: 1,118 meals (1,166 in 2023).

• ❖ Salary expenditure: £18,271.49 (up 18.1% from £15,466.84 in 2023 due to salary increases driven by increases in the National Minimum Wage and the need to pay overtime to cover staff illnesses) .

Operating Surplus Trend

The following graphs highlight the Charity’s operating surplus over the last four years both before and after allowing for the depreciation of the minibus:

Balance Sheet Overview

The balance sheet reflects a slight decrease in accumulated funds net of reserves because of the operating deficit after allowing for depreciation of the minibus:

• ❖ Working capital: £21,771.75 (£13,616.85) This is equivalent to just over six months’ 2025 budgeted expenditure).

• ❖ Operating loss: £628 (£672).

There will be a reduction in the Bus Service Operator’s Grant in the second half of 2025, as the current DoT uplift of 60% applied during the Covid period falls away. This is reflected in the budget figures below.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1) Where a charity’s annual income is over £25,000, the Trustees must arrange for an independent person or accountancy firm to carry out either an audit or an independent examination of the Charity's accounts.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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.

2) The accounting provisions have been set in line with the Charity's Reserves Policy.

• 3) The Minibus is being written down in value over 5 years on a straight line basis.

PREPARED BY

Accounts prepared by the Treasurer, David Tetlow, 1 Pleydells, Cricklade, Wiltshire, SN6 6NG | oie

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

It is my responsibility to:

1) examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,

2) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and

3) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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.

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 proper 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.
