## **RUMBLETUMS TRAINING PROJECT AND CAFÉ**
## **ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 2024 TO MARCH 2025**
Rumbletums was established in 2011 by parents of children with learning disabilities, because of their concern about the lack of employment and development opportunities for such young people once they had finished formal education.
They wanted to provide:
- something valuable and purposeful for them
- something that would:
- help them fulfil their potential
- enable them to make a positive contribution to the community
- help to challenge negative stereotypes and break down barriers.
These aspirations are as relevant today as they were in 2011 and still underpin everything we do at Rumbletums.
Our two key areas of activity now are:
TRAINING: In our community café providing supported training and work experience for young people with a learning disability, normally aged between 16 and 30, living in or around Nottinghamshire.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Promoting the integration of young people with a learning disability into the local community and playing an active role in that community and supporting its further development.
## **TRAINING**
The training is primarily based in our community café, where trainees:
- undertake a range of ‘Front of House’ duties, such as taking orders, preparing and serving drinks, serving cakes, snacks and hot meals, clearing and cleaning tables, pricing orders, using the till and taking payments
- undertake a range of kitchen duties, such as preparing and cooking some food items, washing and drying pots, cutlery and pans etc., putting away shopping, cleaning the kitchen
- undertake a range of other related activities, such as laundering aprons and tea towels, shopping, recording food sold
- learn a range of basic office skills, such as photocopying, printing, laminating, filing
- get involved in the general cleaning and ‘housekeeping’ of the whole building
- set up the rooms for events or meetings
- some help at our toddler group, RumbletumsTots
- some work in our allotment
- some support the various community events we run or are involved in.
## Additional development opportunities include:
- workshops and similar activities
- undertaking accredited Food Safety and Allergen qualifications
- placements with other organisations.
## **THE CAFÉ**
Our Community Café opened on 2 July 2011 and is currently open from 9.30am to 3.00pm from Tuesday to Saturday.
We serve delicious, affordable and nutritious homemade food, with:
- a varied and tasty menu
- fairtrade and locally sourced ingredients used as much as possible
- meals and cakes made on the premises, much of which is prepared by the trainees
- a varied choice of breakfasts, snacks, lunches, and a wide selection of tasty cakes
- vegetarian, vegan, gluten and dairy free options
- coffees made with freshly ground beans, roasted in West Bridgford by 200 Degrees
- tea served traditionally in a teapot
- all drinks can be made with skimmed, soya, almond or oat milk
- a good choice of cold drinks
- great service.
Everyone is welcome at Rumbletums:
- we have tables for one or two, or up to four people, and we’re happy to add extra chairs or put tables together for bigger groups
- the building has:
- full wheelchair access
- an accessible and stoma-friendly toilet
- chair lift to the first floor
- we’re very child friendly:
- high-chairs and booster seats are available
- baby-changing facilities provided
- breast-feeding friendly
- children’s menu offers plenty of healthy and nutritious meals and snacks to choose from
- a bookcase just for children’s books for borrowing as well as reading in the café.
As well as serving food in the café:
- all our food and drinks can be enjoyed as take away
- when pre-ordered whole cakes can be purchased
- we can provide sandwich, fruit and cake platters to those hiring our rooms when the café is open or out of hours, or as take-away for external events.
## **THE LOCAL COMMUNITY**
Being part of the local Kimberley community and supporting its further development are very important to Rumbletums.
We provide a welcoming and safe space for all members of the community, helping combat loneliness and isolation.
We have two large rooms available for room hire by local groups, organisations and individuals. We offer:
- attractive, affordable, well-equipped accommodation for hire
- state of the art AV equipment in all rooms
- use of rooms at reduced rate (or sometimes no cost) to non-commercial groups trying to improve the lives of the local population
- drinks and food from the café when open or use of an urn for hot drinks
- catering to those hiring our rooms when the café is open or out of hours.
Several groups choose Rumbletums as the venue for their social get-togethers. Regular users of our space include Kimberley Neighbourhood Church, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, a Diabetes Support Group, a chair Yoga group, a Chat & Craft group and several U3A groups, B-friend a befriending group that runs a social club with varied activities, a boccia group, as well as individuals for parties and various organisations and groups for meetings and events.
We regularly run community events ourselves, such as:
- RumbletumsTots: our free toddler group that meets every Tuesday in term time from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, run by a committed group of volunteers and some of our trainees. Toddlers can come for free and play with our great range of toys, have a snack and a drink and enjoy a singsong at the end of the session
- “Silver Screen” Film Nights for the over 50s.
We facilitate events run by others in our premises:
- we work with NHS Social Prescribers to provide Rumblechums, a fortnightly Community Café aimed at reducing social isolation
- we support a seniors’ craft group
- we have hosted Sensory Flu Clinic, Learning Disability Roadshow, Cost-ofLiving Support and similar events.
We take part in many Kimberley events, such as the Christmas Lights switch-on, Christmas Market and Food Festival and Watnall Allotment Open Day.
Giving our trainees the opportunity to be involved in a range of community activities
- helps them achieve integration into, and positively contribute as a citizen to, their local community and society
- helps increase understanding about learning disabilities
- breaks down barriers
- challenges the negative stereotypes trainees often face in life.
## Volunteering:
- we provide many opportunities to members of the local community to volunteer
- we rely heavily on our volunteers who
- provide invaluable support to our trainees in the kitchen and front of house and at our RumbletumsTots sessions
- carry out administrative duties
- carry out various odd jobs around the building
- work in the allotment
- support our various other community events.
- not only do we and our trainees benefit from having volunteers - the community and the individuals benefit too, as
- volunteering can reduce loneliness and isolation
- it enables the individuals to gain additional skills, that could lead to employment
- it improves their own well-being
- we are very grateful to all our volunteers.
## Providing employment:
- we are pleased to be able to support local employment
- our employees have a high level of skill
- our salaries are based on the Living Wage Foundation minimum wage
- our staff are committed to supporting our trainees, providing the highest quality food and drinks to our customers and playing our part in the local community
- we are very grateful to all of them.
Other ways of supporting the local community and supporting the local environment are very important to us. We do this by:
- supporting local business whenever we can
- buying food locally whenever possible, which also helps to reduce our food miles
- using local trades people and service providers whenever possible
- working with other local businesses and groups, in support of the local community
- ensuring our building and equipment are as energy efficient as possible
- using a local allotment to grow produce and plants
- recycling as much as possible, including drink cans
- running events and activities that encourage recycling or reusing, for example,
- school uniform collection and resale events
- ensuring environmental issues are considered in all our activities and within planned building alterations.
## **SOCIAL EVENTS**
We provide a range of social events to further support the wellbeing of young people with learning disabilities and their families across the community.
We have a social group, which includes some of our trainees, that arranges a regular programme of events, including open mic, quiz and fancy-dress nights, offering new, varied and enjoyable experiences.
We welcome our own trainees and any other local young people with learning disabilities along with their families.
## **GOVERNANCE**
We aim to manage Rumbletums’ affairs to ensure:
- it adopts good practice in governance
- it is financially robust
- all our activities are delivered at a high quality, efficiently and safely
whilst being an active part of the local community, supporting local businesses whenever possible and being environmentally responsible.
Rumbletums became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 3 April 2023. A CIO is an incorporated structure designed for charities and registered with, and regulated by, the Charity Commission.
With the agreement of the Charity Commission, we changed our charitable objects (i.e., our aims) with effect from 22 July 2024, to better reflect our two key areas of activity – training and community involvement.
Our new Objectives are:
## **The Advancement of Educa1on and the Relief of Those in Need by Reason of Disability**
learning disability, some of whom may also have an addi4onal physical disability, normally aged between 16 and 30 and living in or around No@nghamshire, in such ways as the charity trustees think fit.
We do this by:
- providing supported training and work experience, through which the young people can acquire specific and transferable voca4onal skills associated with catering and hospitality, as well as more general employability skills, and enhanced communica4on and life skills, which in turn builds their confidence and self-esteem;
- providing addi4onal training and development opportuni4es through workshops, and similar ac4vi4es, so the young people can gain further informa4on, knowledge and skills, and further build their confidence;
- enabling the young people to develop and gain more independence that will help them if seeking paid employment, and in effec4vely managing their own affairs, par4cularly if living more independently;
- providing the opportunity for the young people to be involved in a range of community ac4vi4es, helping them achieve integra4on into, and posi4vely contribute as a ci4zen to, their local community and society, as well as breaking down barriers and challenging the nega4ve stereotypes they oKen face in life;
- varied and enjoyable experiences and suppor4ng their wellbeing.
## **The Advancement of Ci1zenship or Community Development**
par4cipa4ng in the local community in such ways as the charity trustees think fit. We do this by:
- promo4ng the integra4on of young people with a learning disability into the local community, giving them the chance to make a posi4ve contribu4on to the local community as independent, mature and responsible individuals, whilst increasing understanding about learning disabili4es, helping challenge nega4ve stereotypes and break down barriers;
- providing local employment opportuni4es;
-
- providing a welcoming and safe space, for all members of the community, helping combat loneliness, improving wellbeing and reducing isola4on;
- both providing and suppor4ng a range of community events for members of the local community;
- especially those that support and encourage good physical and mental health;
- suppor4ng local businesses wherever possible;
- being environmentally responsible, for example, by ensuring our food miles are as low as possible, undertaking as much recycling as possible, or running events to encourage recycling such as school uniform exchanges;
- encouraging all those in the local community involved with Rumbletums - whether trainees, their parents/carers, employees, volunteers, café customers, room users, or those aPending social or community events - to be “Friends of Rumbletums”, coming together and helping influence what we do, how we do it and our future development.
To ensure we manage Rumbletums’ affairs properly:
- We have a clear vision for Rumbletums and from this have developed a series of strategic aims and specific objectives to deliver these. The strategic aims are due for review in 2025 and objectives for 2025 and beyond will be agreed.
- Each year a balanced budget is agreed, along with detailed targets for all aspects of Rumbletums’ performance. Our accounts are audited each year by external auditors. No concerns have ever been identified by the auditor relating to our accounts.
- Performance against all targets is constantly monitored and a range of monthly performance reports produced for consideration by the board, and for discussion with staff as appropriate. When necessary changes to activities are made, and if necessary changes to targets or strategy.
- We have a process in place to ensure that key risks are identified, recorded, evaluated, controlled effectively and monitored.
- We have a comprehensive range of policies and procedures in place, ensuring effective management and good governance in all aspects of our activities. They are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they comply with all legal requirements and best practice. They cover the training and safety of our trainees, food safety, employment, finance, the safe running of our building, data protection, marketing, use of social media, as well as some aspects of trustees’ activities.
- We bought our building in February 2020 and ensure it is maintained to a high standard and provides safe and attractive accommodation to everyone visiting Rumbletums. We have made major alterations including the extension and refitting of the kitchen with commercial quality equipment and fixtures, and recently the creation of an improved accessible entrance and the major refurbishment of the downstairs room.
- We have a tool that measures the social impact of our activities, looking at the personal impact on the young people training with us and the wider social impact on the local community.
- To ensure we listen to our service users we have created “Friends of Rumbletums”, a group that will give service users the chance to influence the way Rumbletums is managed and develops. Friends is made up of past or present trainees, parents, customers and volunteers, along with the Rumbletums Project Manager and Trustees. In addition to Friends, there are many opportunities for giving us feedback or ideas, such as the surveys we run from time to time, leaving comments on social media, or raising issues with staff in the café.
- We have recently recruited 3 new trustees, all of whom live locally and will bring additional skill and expertise to the management of Rumbletums.
## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2024/25**
## **In summary:**
34 different trainees worked with us during the year, working a total of 5,532 hours during the year
Two trainees left us during the year, and four new trainees started. In addition, 7 different trainees from Carlton Digby School worked with us
27 trainees were working with us at the end of March 2025
We were significantly negatively impacted by the major roadworks that took place in Kimberley between 24 July to 5 October, resulting in an 11.76% reduction in customer numbers during that period, compared to our plan.
Despite this, in the year we had 17,624 café customers and sold 34,320 food and drink items
Our top selling items were Tea, Mars Bar Krispie, Jacket Potato and Breakfast
We completely refurbished our large downstairs room, creating a beautiful and wellequipped community room
We carried out a major redesign of our accessible entrance to make the building even more easily accessible
We hosted 33 community events, and we ran or participated in 8 other community events that 375 people attended
We ran 35 free RumbletumsTots sessions that 577 tots attended
At the end of the year we had 8 employees, 4 working full time and 4 part time, and there were 2 vacancies
40 different people volunteered during the year, 21 of whom volunteered for more than 6 months in the year and 10 who volunteered every month
There were 41 different room hirers during the year, 21 of which were community groups or individuals and 23 supporting health and well-being
We ran 8 Social Events for young people with learning disabilities and their families that 146 people attended
We celebrated our 13[th] birthday
Three new trustees were appointed.
## **Training:**
We continued to run our comprehensive training programme and carried out formal reviews of trainees’ progress with their parents/carers.
The 34 different trainees who worked with us during the year worked a total of 5,532 hours during the year. Two trainees left us during the year, and four new trainees started. In addition, we welcomed 7 different trainees from Carlton Digby School. There were 27 trainees working with us at the end of March 2025.
In September Inspire Learning ran two Development Workshops - “Practical Maths” and “Crafts Course” – attended by six trainees.
In addition, Angela, our Project Manager, attended four Transition Events run by local special schools, at which she was able to show the work we do at Rumbletums and publicise and promote us as a future placement for trainees. One of our trainees attended a Transition Event with Angela. Furthermore, as Angela was unfortunately ill and unable to attend, another trainee attended a Transition Event on his own – a great way of publicising Rumbletums to potential trainees and their families.
## **The Café:**
In the café it wasn’t as busy a year as we had planned.
We had major building work taking place in April and May which sometimes resulted in the closure of our accessible entrance, and this led to some reduction in customer numbers.
Major roadworks that took place in Kimberley between 24 July to 5 October 2024, involving multiple road closures, and these caused us significant problems. During this period, we saw a nearly 12% reduction in customer numbers, compared to our plan. Whilst we received no compensation for this loss we were grateful to receive a grant of £1,000 from Broxtowe BC for Kimberley Relief.
Despite this, in the year, we had 17,624 café customers and sold 34,320 food and drink items:
- 17,052 hot or cold drinks, with tea and latte being our top sellers
- 5,132 pieces of cake, with Mars Bar Krispie being the most popular, followed by Victoria Sponge, Coffee & Walnut and Chocolate Cake
- 7,203 snacks, with breakfast accounting for a third of these
- 4,933 lunches, a quarter of which were jacket potatoes.
We opened especially for the Kimberley Christmas Lights switch-on and the Kimberley Christmas Market. We held two Afternoon Teas, including a special Christmas Tea. We sold several home-made Christmas Cakes and our Christmas Cake raffle proved very popular.
We continued to extend the additional catering we can provide, including the sale of whole cakes; catering for events taking place in the rooms we rent out; and the provision of sandwich, fruit and cake platters for events held elsewhere.
Café improvements in the year included a major review of our arrangements to ensure the safety of people with allergies, the purchase of new practical and lightweight high chairs, the redecoration of our toilets and the reintroduction of fresh flowers on our café tables, many of which are donated by Morrisons, and which have been positively remarked on by customers.
## **Community Involvement:**
We continued to integrate young people with a learning disability into the local community, both through our trainees working in the café directly with customers, and by involving them in as many community activities as possible. We know from feedback received and the surveys we have carried out that this is effective in challenging negative stereotypes and breaking down barriers.
Between March and May 2024 we had major building works, which both enhanced our accommodation and contributed to aim to be environmentally responsible.
Our accessible entrance was completely redesigned to make access much easier and safer. At the same time, the outside wall was insulated and rendered.
The downstairs room was completely refurbished to create a beautiful, modern Community Room. Improvements included the laying of energy-efficient underfloor heating and a new floor, the installation of bigger double-glazed windows and blackout blinds, the creation of two storage rooms, and new chairs. The new room, which also has state of the art AV equipment, provides a lovely space for community groups, meetings, parties, and other events.
At the same time, we improved the insulation in our loft and roof spaces and bought several items of energy-efficient equipment.
Much of this work was funded from grants, for which we are very grateful, and which included Broxtowe BC Levelling-up (and energy), National Grid's Community Matters Fund and Kimberley Neighbourhood Church grants. We also contributed a significant amount from our own reserves.
The new Community Room, along with the upstairs room, provided space for 41 different room hirers during the year, 21 of which were community groups or individuals and 23 of which supported health and well-being.
We have been delighted to welcome several new groups, including b:friend, a charity aiming to end loneliness and social isolation; Positive Support Group, supporting children and adults with the most challenging behavioural and wellbeing-related needs; and L Leisure who run Boccia, which is a precision ball sport, related to bowls and pétanque, suitable for those with severe disabilities.
In addition to this, during the year we hosted 24 Rumblechums events - a fortnightly Community Café aimed at reducing social isolation that we work with NHS Social Prescribers to provide – and 8 Craft Group events for people with learning disabilities. In August an Energy Workshop and in November a Sensory Flu Clinic were held at Rumbletums. We also ran 3 Silver Screen events.
We ran 35 sessions of RumbletumsTots, our parent/carer and toddler group run by a committed group of volunteers and some of our trainees. Tots meets every Tuesday in term time from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, and toddlers can come for free and play with our great range of toys, have a snack and a drink and enjoy a singsong at the end of the session. 577 tots attending during the year. We were very pleased and grateful to receive £150 from Notts CC to support Tots.
We were happy to support the local community by running a School Uniform exchange event in August and taking part in the Kimberley Christmas Lights switchon and Christmas Market. We took part in the Nuthall Christmas Tree Festival, with our trainees making the tree hangings. We provided cakes to sell at the Watnall Allotment Open Day and were very pleased to receive a donation from them in return.
Our volunteers are a very important part of the Rumbletums team, working in supporting trainees in the café, at the allotment, and involved in running the various community events. 40 different individuals volunteered with us during the year. On average each month there were 24 different volunteers, and 10 of them volunteered every month.
## **Social Events:**
This year we ran 8 social events for young people with learning disabilities and their families, which 146 people attended. Events included Open Mic, Pics & Popcorn, Games Nights, a craft evening, and a Bowling Evening.
Many thanks to the members of the Social Events group that plans and runs the events.
## **Governance and Management:**
From 22 July 2024 we adopted new charitable objects that better reflect our two key areas of activity – training and community involvement.
We celebrated our 13[th] birthday on 2 July 2024, at which our new Community Room was officially opened.
During the year we reviewed and updated our Appearance and Dress, Authorised Leave from Work, Financial Management and Controls, Sickness Absence Management and DBS Policies. We also reviewed and updated our Grievance Procedure and made some interim changes to our Disciplinary Procedure, pending a planned more comprehensive review.
At the end of the year we had 8 employees, 4 working full time and 4 part time, and there were 2 vacancies.
We have a very impressive and resilient team of staff, working hard to support our trainees and to give them, our customers, room hirers and all those who attend the many events at Rumbletums the best possible experience. So, many thanks to Project Manager Angela Devine, Café Supervisor Helen Groom, Senior Training Support Worker Gemma Calder, Training Support Worker Patsy Buck, Café Assistants Michelle Welsh and Margaret Melia, Front of House Assistant Tracey Corkish and Bake-Day Cook Debbie Bonser.
Roma Hatton, who started as Cook in March 2023 left in December 2024. Ethan Macfarlane who covered Café Assistant shifts from July 2023 left in April 2024. Also, Eve Bradley, who started as a Saturday Café Assistant in July 2023 left in September 2024 to go off to University. We are grateful to them all for their service to Rumbletums.
In 2023/24 we carried out Surveys of our customers, trainees, and staff and volunteers, but didn’t publicise the results in full until this year. The results were extremely positive with 91% of café customers who responded giving us a rating of 9 or 10 out of 10 across a variety of headings such as the choice, quality and price of food and drinks offered and the quality of service. All the customers who filled in the survey said that the café is welcoming and friendly, and the vast majority said they would be happy to visit alone.
We were keen to know whether visiting Rumbletums had changed their view about adults with learning disabilities, and how trainees add to the experience of visiting Rumbletums. 35% had changed their view and the comments made include “It's confirmed my belief that adults with a learning disability can be gainfully employed and enjoy a working environment in which they can achieve”, “Very lovely experience seeing young people grow and develop. Life skills opportunity is amazing” and “Excellent way to raise awareness of how valuable everyone is in our community”
We asked parents and carers about the changes in their young person following training at Rumbletums. Most reported an increase in confidence, development of new skills, being more help at home, better communication skills, a positive attitude and an overall better sense of purpose.
The volunteers who responded were positive about their experience at Rumbletums saying “I knew it would be supportive, and community based, and I would learn new skills” and what made volunteering enjoyable included “Seeing growth in trainees’ confidence and life skills …” and “A delight to work with the whole team and help develop trainees”.
In October 2024 we started the process of recruiting new trustees. Following a robust recruitment process it was agreed by the existing trustees that Peter Bales, Christine Clarke and Guy Whiting had the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO and were therefore suitable for appointment. They were appointed as new trustees on 20 January 2025, each for a period of 3 years. Following this, they have gone through an induction process. The existing trustees were delighted to welcome their new colleagues.
Abbigale Smith who had been a trustee since April 2023 stood down on 31 December 2024. We are very grateful for the huge contribution Abbi has made to the success of Rumbletums, not only as a trustee but also as our first Project Manager.
A major concern that came to light during this year is that we have become liable to pay VAT on our catering income. This came to light when our accountants, who were preparing our 2023/24 Annual Accounts, advised us in October 2024 that our Café takings might be subject to VAT. They recommended that we speak to an expert on VAT for charities. We did this and were informed that we were definitely liable to pay VAT, and this was likely to be from June 2023.
We registered for VAT with HMRC in March 2025 and subsequently calculated that we owe HMRC £22,480 for the period 1 June 2023 and 11 March 2025. This payment will have to come out of our reserves, but it should be noted that we weren’t actually charging VAT during this period.
As well as paying the amount outstanding, we will have to pay VAT on all catering income going forward and so must increase our catering prices from 1 April 2025 by an average of 20%. We believe that we will still offer competitive prices but some of our current or future customers may find such an increase in prices difficult to cope with in the current economic climate.
## **Thank You:**
There are many people to be thanked for helping Rumbletums achieve another successful, and at times difficult, year:
- Our trainees - for being part of the Rumbletums team, working hard, being committed to providing high quality services, and giving great pleasure to all those who work with them and all the customers and room users who interact with them
- The parents/carers of our trainees - for letting us look after, support, train and develop their young people
- Our employees - who always work hard in training and supporting our trainees, providing a café of high quality, and welcoming all those who hire our facilities or attend the many events held at Rumbletums
- Our many volunteers - who provide invaluable support to our trainees, who help run our many community activities particularly RumbletumsTots, who work in our allotment and who organise and support our social activities
- Our customers - for their loyal support throughout the year, and also for their overwhelmingly positive response to our trainees and what we are trying to achieve at Rumbletums
- All those who hire our rooms – for choosing to use our venue and for supporting Rumbletums
- The many people who have supported Rumbletums in often hidden ways, helping to maintain and improve the fabric of the building or our facilities
- All those who so generously helped us through fundraising, donations and grants.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who has helped us in any way this year, enabling us to continue our vital work in support of our trainees.

In 20?3124 we catTied out Survey5 of our customer5, trainee5, aiid staff and volui)teers, but didn't publicise the
results iii full until thi5 year. The results were extremely positive with 910/0 of cafe customers who re5poiided
giving u5 a rating of 9 or 10 out of l O across a variet), of headiiigs such a5 the choice, quality and price of food

We were keen to know whether visiiing Rumbleiums had changed their view about adults with learning
disabilities, and ho. trainees add to the experience of visiting Run)bletuins. 35 1 had changed their view and the
comments made include 'lt's confiTmed my belief that adults with a learning disability can be gaii)fully
employed ld enjoy a working et]vironineJit iji which they can achieve,.
'Very lovely experience seeing youJ)g
people grow and develop. Life skills opportunity is atnazing" and "Excellent way to raise awareness of how
valuable everyoiie is iii our community"
We asked parents and cgrers about the changes in their young person following training at Rumbletums. Most
reported an increase in confidence, development of new skills, being more help at home, better communication
skills. a positive attitude and an overall better sense of purpose.
The volunteers who responded were positive aboui their experience at Rumbletums saying "I knew it would be
supportive. and community based. and I would learn new skills, and whal made volunerIng enjoyable
included 'Seeing groth in trainees, confidence and life skills
and '"A delight tLI work with the whole team
and help develLlP trainees"
In October 2024 we started the process of recruiting new trustees. Following a robust recruitment process it was
agreed by the existing trustees that Peier Bales, Christine Clarke and Guy Whiting had the skills. knowledge and
experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO and were therefore suithble for appointment. They
were appointed as i)ew trustees on 20 Jaiiuary 2025. for a period of J years. Follow'ing this. they have gone
through an induction process. The existing trustees were delighted to welcome their new colleagues.
AbbibFale Smith who had been a t1115tee since April 2023 stood dom'ii 011 31 Deceinber 2024. We are very
grateful for the hugFe contributioji Abbi has made to the success of Ruinbletum5, not only as a tllJ5tee but also as
our first Project Manager.
Public benefil
The trustees confimi that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to
have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Financial revie
At the end of the year, we had a cash deficit of nearly £95,0(10. Althoiigh we speni more than planned under
some budget headings, we spent less than planned on others. The main cause of the deficii was that we had
assumed that would get grants to support salaries totalling £90,000 but these weren't achieved.
We have planned an I&E based budget for 2025126 that breaks even.
Puliry rÉservt
It is our ii)tei)tion to have a n)inimun) of the equivalent of three inonths da>'_tO-day expenditure as reserves at all
times. This currently equates to approximately £55,300. As at the end of tht finai)¢ial year, our reserves covered
this amount. HoNwever iii 2025126 we will have to pay the £2?,480 for unpaid VA T due lor the period frtsm I
June 2023 and I l March 2025 as meniioned below. and this will have to come frlim our reserves.

Mffijor risks andmanagemenl ufihose risk5
FinoKciol risks
A major concerii that came to light during this year is that we have become liable to paj. VAT oli our catering
inconie. This came to li¥ht when our accountant5, who were preparing our 2023124 Annual Accoiiiits, advised
us in October 2024 that our Café takings Inight be subject to VAT. They recommended that we speak to an
expert on VAT for charities. We did this and were infomied that we were definiiely liable to pay VA T. and this
was likely to be from Jui)e 2023.
We registered for VAT with HMRC iii March 2025 and subsequently calculated that we owe HMRC £22,480
for the period l June 20?3 and I l March 2025. This pavment will have to come out of our reserves, but it
should be iioted that we werei)'t actually charging VAT during this period.
As well as paying the amount outstanding, w'e will have tl) pay VA T L)n all catering income going forward and
so must incre&se our catering prices from l April 2025 by an average of ?10. We believe that we will still offer
competitive prices but some of our current or future customers may find such an increase in prices difficult to
cope with in the current economic climate.
