## **HAM and PETERSHAM SOS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The charitable objectives are: 

- To promote the relief of the elderly, disabled, housebound or socially isolated persons in and around Ham and Petersham. Primarily, but, not exclusively, through the provision of a transport service, shopping service and outings, as will relieve their charitable need. 

And 

- To promote any other charitable purpose in and around Ham and Petersham as the trustees from time to time may determine. 

To achieve these objectives, Ham and Petersham SOS through its team of staff and volunteers, provides a wide range of services which help to reduce social isolation, loneliness, and help individuals to remain living independently. 

The Trustees consider that the activities undertaken, offered at no or minimal cost, provide benefit to the public and confirm that in exercising their powers and duties, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission and have complied with their duties under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

On behalf of the board, I am delighted to present the Ham & Petersham SOS Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending March 2025. I became Chair in October 2024, alongside Chris Lane who took on the Deputy Chair role, and I would like to thank my predecessor, Helen Beedham, for her many years of support and leadership she provided to the charity. 

Our longstanding manager, Karen King, stepped down from her role in May 2024. We thank her for her years of service and wish her all the best in her future endeavours. We welcomed Jill Hancock as manager in July 2024 and she has been instrumental in advancing our services over the past year. 

A huge thank you to our staff team and trustees, who through their hard work and skill, were able to navigate the change in leadership and its challenges, such that, with the help of our dedicated volunteer team, we have seen the charity and its services grow during the course of the year. 

## **The Need** 

Ham & Petersham SOS supports vulnerable adults, primarily those aged 65 and above, and individuals with disabilities, who are at risk of social isolation and loneliness due to age, mobility challenges, and living in an area with limited public transport. We serve a community where more than half of residents aged 75 and over live alone, and the area ranks in the third most deprived decile on the UK’s Index of Multiple Deprivation. Additionally, over 50% of our members identify as having a disability. 

There are clear links between poor physical and mental wellbeing and social isolation and loneliness. Social isolation and loneliness share many risks including decreased independence, poor mental and physical health, cognitive decline, and increased mortality. 

## **Core Activities** 

Over the past 12 months, we have continued to deliver and improve our core services with the aim to help reduce social isolation and loneliness and help individuals to remain living independently. 

These included: 

- Monthly Outings 

- Monthly Coffee Mornings @ Petersham Nurseries 

- Weekly Lunch Club @ Ham Library 

- Weekly trips on the shopping bus to Sainsburys 

- Monthly trips on the shopping bus to Lidl 

- Weekly gatherings @ Tea & Chat 

- Summer, Winter & Spring Parties 

- Monthly Fish & Chip Friday 

- Befriending Service 

- Transport to and from GP, hospital and other health appointments 

- Transport to our social activities 

- Picking up prescriptions 



Page 3 

- General transport requests 

- Shopping requests 

- Gardening 

- Daily telephone support 10am-12pm 

## **Established Social Activities** 

Our established social activities continue to prove popular, and we have seen a steady increase in demand. Total attendances at our social activities were 1,850 for the year - up 22% on the previous year (32% over 2 years). Again, post Covid, we did see our befriending activity dip slightly to 430 attendances as demand picked up for our group activities. As of the end of March 2025 we have over 150 members, a 10% increase YoY. 45% of our members are aged between 75 and 85 years old and 30% are aged over 85 years old. 

To build community and a sense of belonging for our members, we host a number of free and heavily subsidised annual parties including our Easter Party, Summer Party and Christmas Party. These are well attended and very successful. This year we were fortunate to be the guests of the Charity, 90 Degrees South, who hosted a wonderful reception for our members at the Richmond Hill Hotel in May. Comprising a full three course sit-down meal, live band, dancing and a magician, it was an absolute pleasure to watch our members take to the dance floor and have such a good time. A huge thank you to our friends at 90 Degrees South for putting on such a special event for us. 

We have had some wonderful outings during the year including trips to Kew Gardens, Bird World, Lavender Farm, Brighton, Shopping in Staines, Toby Carvery, Milestones Museum, the Christmas Lights in central London and the Cockney Museum. The outings remain very popular and a highlight for many of our members. 

## **Piloting New Services** 

We have piloted new activities, specifically aimed at helping individuals to remain active, engaged, and independent. Older generations are living longer but are in worse health than previous generations at the same age. As such, these new piloted activities are centred around improving physical and mental health as well offering a social element. 

Activities included craft sessions, such as wreath making at Christmas. We created a new “Twixtmas” event for our members - the period between Christmas and New Year can be a particularly lonely period for many and we hosted a lunch event on the 30[th] December, which proved very popular. We also piloted a Monday Morning Wellness activity in October funded by Richmond’s Full of Life fund.  This involved Chair Yoga, and a nutritional talk and snack. 

This has been exceptionally well received with positive outcomes and now runs every Monday morning. We plan to secure funds to run this on a regular basis. 

## **Partnership Working** 

One of our strategic aims is to develop long term partnerships with other service providers to increase outreach, and help meet the needs of our member base. We have worked closely with a number of other organisations over the course of the year including Ham Library to deliver Tea, Tech and Chat sessions on a regular basis, the charity Cooking Up, to offer a 



Page 4 

number of healthy cookery sessions for our members, and we partnered with the charity RUILS to deliver Winter Health Checks. 

## **Practical Support Services** 

We have seen continued demand across our practical support services, helping our members to remain independent and also providing social connections. Our transport service being a good example. Our volunteer drivers provide a much-needed service, giving lifts to essential healthcare appointments. Our members know they can trust and rely on our drivers and we frequently see long-term friendships develop between members and drivers. From a practical point of view, the service also provides a good opportunity to check in with our members to make sure they are alright. 

Over the course of the year, we have provided 1350 hours of practical support for our members. We have been able to provide over 950 transport jobs, including to social activities, of which 187 were healthcare related, a 9% increase. 

## **The Difference We Make** 

The positive impact on an individual’s physical and mental wellbeing from reducing social isolation and loneliness, involving them in the local community and providing support to remain living independently, is well documented. However, what do our members believe are the differences our services make? 

Our latest survey of our members showed: 

- 100% are very satisfied with our services 

- 74% said our services made them feel happier and more positive 

- 91% said our services helped them to meet new people 

- 74% said our services helped them to feel more fit and active 

Aside from the quantitative data we measure, we receive regular qualitative feedback from our members and those around them. Here is just one example of the feedback, from the family of a member coping with memory loss: 

_“Mum wanted you to let your volunteers know just how important SOS is to her in maintaining a full, healthy, independent life. She finds the opportunity to establish and maintain regular social contacts locally absolutely central to living a fulfilling life. The service you and your volunteers provide keeps her going and allows her to fill her weeks with fun and stimulating activities. As a family caring and supporting her to do so, we recognise just how valuable this service is to her, and to us, as we navigate her memory loss condition.”_ 

We also know that it is not just our members that are feeling the benefit with 2 out of 5 of our members saying an unpaid family member care for them. Many carers call for advice, information, and attend our activities. We calculate, approximately two people per member indirectly benefit from our work as we provide respite for carers and peace of mind to family/friends knowing Ham & Petersham SOS is there to support their loved ones. 

## **Volunteering** 

We have a fantastic team of around 60 dedicated volunteers of drivers, social activity helpers, office helpers, befrienders, gardeners and shoppers - a multi-cultural group spanning a wide range of ages. As ever, the amount of support we can offer to our members is limited to the 



## Page 5 

availability of volunteers. This year the staff team have implemented changes to the volunteer onboarding/engagement/retention processes, created regular volunteer newsletters and organised regular volunteer engagement events. The early signs are that these changes are making a positive impact, improving volunteer engagement and we look forward to seeing how it impacts our service offering over the coming years. 

## **Support for Ham & Petersham SOS** 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters, whom without their support we would not be able to make such a difference to the lives of many in the local community. 

A thank you to Michelin starred restaurant, The Dysart Petersham, who continued to support our Lunch Club with fine foods; Petersham Nurseries who continued to support our monthly coffee mornings; the German church congregation in Ham who continued to make delicious cakes for our Tea and Chat; and St. Thomas Aquinas Church who supported us with the venue for our Monday Morning Wellness. Also, thank you to the local schools, Radnor House School, who hosted an afternoon tea for our members, Holy Cross Prep School, who invited our members along to watch their nativity play and Grey Court School who hosted us for a Christmas lunch – great fun had by all. 

In the past year, donations have come from our local community and we are as ever, extremely grateful. We are thankful for the continued support through the CILS contract with Age UK Richmond upon Thames which continues to support a number of our activities. And a special thank you to The Richmond Foundation who provides significant financial support towards our core costs and to the Ham & Petersham Association & Amenities Group, who has provided a substantial donation this year on the back of the Ham Open Gardens event. Thanks to their help, the charity stands on a stable financial footing, however, the £6,177 deficit the charity recorded for the financial year will have an impact on our ability to withstand some potential shocks as we see our contingency reserves reduce. Going forwards, as we look to deliver on some of the new services we are piloting, we will need to find other sources of income to support them. 

Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow trustees for their continued support, our staff team for their hard work and skill, and our volunteers for their enthusiastic commitment. It has been a successful year and I look forward to the year ahead. 

Aiden Buckley **Chair of Trustees**

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The deficit for the year was £6,177 and total net assets decreased to £122,257 as a result. Total income was £54,607 whilst expenditure was £60,784. 

Income was down by £2,905 from the previous year. Grants totalling £30,809 were the principal source of income, but down by £2,445 over the previous year. This was largely due to a reduction in Richmond Partnership’s funding. Donations received amounted to £10,179. 

Lunch Club, trips, Tea & Chat, and Fish & Chip Club contributed income of £5,906 whilst Gift Aid provided an additional £1,795. Bank interest earned was £3,015. 

Total expenditure, largely unchanged from the previous year, was £60,784. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

## **Unrestricted Reserves** 

The Trustees have established the following unrestricted reserves: 

- General Fund to cover working capital requirements including any potential shortterm reduction in funding and for winding up costs (£2,257). 

- Hardship Fund to provide support for those in need (£20,000). 

- Transport Fund to provide for the future replacement of the minibus (£75,000). 

- Premises Fund to cover the potential costs of fitting out the office and in case of a move to new premises in the future (£25,000). 

Total Unrestricted Reserves amounted to £122,257. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

There was no requirement to set up any restricted reserves for services specified by grant donors. 

## **Investment Policy** 

No investments were made in equities, gilts, equity-based securities, or any collective investment. All funds were deposited in a UK based bank regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulatory Authority. 

Funds were deposited in a current account supported by an interest-bearing on-line savings account with immediate access. Balances in the current account and the on-line savings accounts were monitored to ensure that sufficient funds were in place to meet predicted outgoings. 

Surplus funds were deposited in an interest earning fixed period savings account, which required notice of withdrawal to be given. 

The maximum amount deposited with a single institution did not exceed the current Financial Services Compensation protection limit. 

The Trustees regularly monitored interest rates to ensure that funds secure a competitive rate of interest.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Ham and Petersham SOS for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102); 

- 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 in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any t ime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the 

United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

The Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relat ing to small companies. 

Approved by order of the Board on **14[th] November 2025** and signed on its behalf by: 

Aiden Buckley **Chair of Trustees**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **HAM & PETERSHAM SOS** 

I am reporting on the accounts of the charity Ham and Petersham SOS, Charity No: 1136675, Company No: 7001262 for the year ending 31 March 2025. 

Since the last audit for year ending 31 March 2024 the Organiser of the HAPSOS has left and has been replaced by a Manager who with the Trustees, as directors of the charity, are responsible for the preparation and financial reporting of the accounts. 

It is my responsibility to state, based on the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145 of the Act, whether matters have come to my attention and to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether any matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report:** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 

It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from your Manager and Treasurer 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. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In accordance with my examination, no matter has come to my attention that gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, there is any cause for concern to believe that: 

- Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- The accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- The accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 

   - § A previous recommendation for a set of Procedure Notes to be listed showing all the responsibilities to be taken on by the present Manager, who I realise has only recently come to HAPSOS, has not yet been set up by the Organiser and Trustees. I am aware that 



the present Treasurer will be leaving before the end of the year and the importance of this to assist the new Treasurer. 

## Page 10 

- § A second previous recommendation was for a detailed inventory listing all assets belonging to the centre to be set up as this would be required for insurance purposes in the event of damage, theft or fire. 

- § A safe should be obtained for the cash that is presently being kept in individual plastic bags in a filing cabinet drawer. When the office is vacated at the end of the day the key to the filing cabinet is left in a desk drawer. 

- § A record of the cash held in individual bags should be maintained showing the amounts held and a record of banking undertaken thus avoiding theft. 

All other minor details and changes have already been satisfactorily discussed with the charity’s Manager and Treasurer and the majority have been undertaken.
