Objectives and Activities

Achievements and Performance

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 as a whole.
	Para 1.20	After the impact of Covid, Love Dereham Ltd has continued to grow and established its purpose and aims for the community of Dereham and the surrounding area, seeking to strengthen and expand in its operational and governance functions. The employment of our paid Project Coordinator in August 2022, Athena Poole continues to reap benefits as Athena develops the operational aspects of the charity, i.e. all the projects as outlined in the summary of our main activities that

meet our objective to improve the wellbeing	meet our objective to improve the wellbeing
of	the community:
●	The previous annual report for 2023-24
	identified the creation of the Hardship
	Fund, Community Transport fund,
	Household Support Fund and
	Community Shop; these initiatives has
	continued to grow alongside the use of
	the Community Hub. The Trustees are
	recognising that the current premises
	that we share with Green Pastures
	bookshop are too small and we are
	now looking for larger premises.
●	Income had been increasing for the
	financial years from £3,089 (2021-22);
	£22,278 (2022-23); £46,587 (2023-24)
	but for this financial year, has reduced
	slightly to £43,404 for this financial
	year to finance ongoing projects.
●	An increase in expenditure from
	£9,069 (2021-22); £23060 (2022-23),
	£34,132 (2023-24) to £38,066 for this
	financial year to finance the costs of
	the ongoing projects, including rent,
	sundries and salary of our coordinator.
●	The continued development of Love
	Dereham Website and the use of
	Social Media such as Facebook to
	increase awareness of the services
	Love Dereham offers to the community
●	Regular attendance at the monthly
	Community Lunch to around 40 people
	from the community of Dereham and
	growing more popular. The December
	Christmas Community Lunch, a 2
	course Christmas dinner cooked and
	served by the Love Dereham
	volunteers, was attended by 70 people
	from the community. Each guest was
	presented with a gift card for coffee
	and cake in town. In addition, our
	Christmas Toy project, in partnership
	with Lidl, was able to gift brand new
	toys to 73 children within 29 families in
	our community who were struggling to
	afford presents for their children.
In	its Strategy:
●	Unfortunately, due to ill health and
	mitigating circumstances beyond their
	control, we have experienced a
	turnover of Trustees. However, we
	continue to strive to ensure that our
	replacement and recruitment of

	Trustees enrich the running of our
	charity with their skills and experience.
	For this year, we have had trustees
	from nursing and teaching
	backgrounds, which broadens the
	existing skills base of Trustees’ already
	combined experience from Local
	Government, Care and Charity sector.
●	The review of Love Dereham’s
	Governing Document, Foundational
	Statement and proposed move to a
	Charitable Incorporated Organisation
	(CIO) to simplify reporting, tailor it to
	the current financial and social needs
	of the community.
●	Reviewing, updating and developing
	policies and procedures to protect
	Employees, Service Users, Volunteers
	and Trustees.

Financial Review

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Love Dereham’s bank balance for year end 2024-25 was a credit of £39,470.14 made up of £18,850.60 of unrestricted and £20,619.54 of restricted funding.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Trustees of Love Dereham Ltd recognise the importance of a reserves policy to help demonstrate good stewardship and financial management and to manage its reputation by: ● To ensure that the charity has sufficient funds to meet its financial commitments; ● To demonstrate that the charity is sustainable into the future; ● To ensure that the charity is able to manage future unforeseen financial difficulties; ● To ensure that excessive funds are not held without any identifiable reason or for any identifiable purpose. Note: This reserves policy relates only to the charity's unrestricted funds.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£0.00
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	At each TBM, a monthly financial report is produced for consideration taking into account the income and expenditure for the previous month and the outstanding balances for each individual unrestricted and restricted funds. Risk assessment is undertaken to identify if there is a


		significant challenge in the core operations of the charity if: a) information comes to light that casts doubt on the charity's future income flows b) A significant change to the wider environment in which the charity operates that includes the overriding economic climate. Despite the relatively small increase in expenditure and decrease of Income, our confidence for the future of Love Dereham continues to be justified in the returns for this financial year. As noted in the previous TAR for 2023-24, the cost of living crisis continues to be astute but we are emboldened that we will continue to grow in the next financial year 2025-26 to meet the needs of the local community as a result of our ongoing relationships with grant making organisations. For example, The National Lottery, Breckland Council, Norfolk Community Fund along with other funding streams such as Crowdfunder and regular donations, gives us the confidence that we will continue to support our projects for the good of the community. However, for the sake of good practice, for the Financial year 2025-26, we will produce a Reserve Investment Policy to demonstrate our commitment to be good guardians of the Charity’s finances.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	None.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	None.
