Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society.
Para 1.20 During FY 23/24, major events such as the
Summer Ball and Christmas Draw were
delivered but also regular functions for
serving personnel and their families.
The committee have been given direction
by the President of the Mess Committee
and Mess Membership on how to improve
the facilities, for not only its inhabitants, but
all eligible personnel at RAF Waddington.
We have funded numerous small-scale
improvements throughout the Officers’
Mess, such as gardens, bar equipment and
laundry facilities.
An increase to the daily subs by
4p/person/day was necessary to maintain
the standard of benefits on offer to mess
members. This has been coupled with a
reallocation of entertainments monies to
focus on smaller scale events, such as
Families Happy Hours, designed to
encourage young families and personnel
back into the Mess. There has also been a
focus on rejuvenating attendance at mess
formal functions.

In adherence to the guidelines for RAF service charities, the value
of fixed assets outlined in the organisation's financial statements
are as follows:
Silverware, painting and prints, and select furniture items are
recorded at an insured valuation, which is subject to professional
review every five years. It should be noted that due to the elapsed
time, the original acquisition costs of most assets are not
ascertainable. Consequently, it has not been possible to
determine the amount of any related Revaluation reserve.
Additionally, other tangible assets are depicted at historical cost
less accumulated depreciation in accordance with relevant
accounting standards.
