Re ort of the Trustees forthe Year Ended 31 March 2024 Achlevements 4nd Performance OveNiew Bournemouth Gateway Club continues to adapt, èpplying best endeavours to provide regular 50¢i3l, leisure and learning opportunities. contact, continuity and ideas for our members to stay happy, occupied and healthy. During March and April 2023, we ran Warm Wednesday free sessions funded by a Winter Crisls Grant manged byCAN, funded by NHS Dorset. These offered member a constructive warm space. social opportunities and a hot healthy lunch during the cost-of-living crisis. These worked well and showed a desire for an additional day each week. From May 2023 we expanded to 3 day5 each week on a re8ular basis. The sessions have been successful. and numbers built over a few months, and we now have just over 20 members each Wednesday. Following anecdotal reports from friends and family that there was a need for a younger adults, group, we applied for and were lucky enough to receive £7,306 from The National Lottery Community Fund for a Thursday night weekly social club for younger adults with special needs aged between 18- 25 years old. The club was funded to run from January 2024 for 12 months and £1,827 of this grant income has been ￿Co£niSed in the 2023-24 financial year. A club leader, Gill, was recruited with many years, experience of youth provision with BCP and one of our existing volunteers, Winston, has become the paid support worker for these sessions. Gill and Winston are supported by regular Thursday evening volunteers,. Marion. Nicky and Trey. Our provision is currently 3 days per week 10.30 - 2pm (Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays); alternate Saturday evenings 6-8pm,' Thursday evenings 6- 8pm tar8eted at younger adults Isince January 20241,. and we also aim to facilitate an offsite social event once per month. There continued to be lots of activity and friendship5 made on our Facebook social group page only open to adults with a learning disability and their family members I carers - which provides a safe space for on-line communication. We maintained an online presence via our Facebook page, a small amount of Instagram posting and we also signposted wider opportunities. To manage numbers and not overcrowd the premises post-covid, we limited member numbers on daytime sessions to approximately 25, on a booked only basis and payable by monthly invoice. We did not restrict numbers on Saturday sessions as it is a much more fluid group with members comin8 and going, a less structured environment and a shorter period on site. Trustees had chosen to subsidise member fees to just £10 to support our member5 during the cost-of-living crisis. This was introduced as a temporary subsidy to encourage people to re-engage Page l of 26

in Social activities post-pandemic. During the year, Tru5tee5 reviewed the charity's financial sustainability to confirm that it was not possible to continue at the subsidised rates in the long term. Following an exercise where we looked at our competitors, charges,. our cost base including an impending increase in premises costs,. we decided to increase our daily fees to £28 per session from l January 2024. We made clear that we were open to discussion with anyone for whom this might cause hardship, and we have been able to offer a discounted rate to some of our more vulnerable members and a 'group rate, to a care home who brought several clients with carers. We had discussions Wlth BCP as commissioner of day opportunities service5 and they concluded that the £28 sessional fee lequivalent to £8 per hour) for our quality service provided good value for money. We have an increasing numberof members (there were nlne as ofjuly 2024lforwhom BCP commission our services directly. In the summer of 2023. we began discussions with BCP about the future of the Embassy Centre building that we run from. We submitted and were successful with a Stage I CAT l¢ommunity asset transfer) application and were invited to submit a stage 2 application. We have drawn on 5UPPOrt f rom CAN (Community Action Network) to liaise with other local organisations who were going through the same process. The Stage 2 application process requires the compilation of a detailed business case setling out long term financial plans for the charity including assumptions about investment in the building and ongoing costs related to the premises management. We experienced some difficulties in getting information from BCP about the 'heads of terms, under which they might transfer the Embassy Centre to our charity,. the condition which we should assume the building would be in as at the date of transfer,. any future costs. e.g. rent or service charge which would continue to be payable to BCP,. and whether or not the building would be transferred to us with vacant possession. We are aware that the application process will require Bournemouth Gateway to tske professional advice, such as building surveys. and legal advice relating to charity governance and the property transfer transaction. Without understanding the high-level parameters for the Community Asset Transfer, trustees agreed that it was not appropriate to commit large amounts of club funds towards paying for reports ett at this stage. We have a150 been involved (to a small extent) with the BCP day opportunitie5 Strategy development / review and we supported members and corers to complete consultstion surveys about 8CP's plans to investigate c105ure of some of their existing provisions. Speclal Projerts In March we supported members to 80 to the ever-popular crazy golf at Mr Mulligans. At Easter we supported approx. 20 members to attend 'Abba- thank you for the muslc, show at Poole Lighthouse Theatre and in May we held a 'bring and share, coronation lunch. In June we went on our very popular Millfield Activity Day coach trip. Members paid £5 each towards C05t5 and carers travelled free. This event was subsidised from our reserves to the tune of £290 for the cost of the coach hire. plu5 the costs of additional staff hours to support members on the day. Page 2 of 26

We were invited to take part in an inter-club 5POrts day with Waterslde Gateway Club near Fawley. Not only did we have a smashing day out, but we were winners of the 'best turned-out team, cup. We were unable to go to thi5 year's Brockenhurst Sport5 Day a5 we had previously done due to train strikes making transport there too problematic. Following the great 5ucces5 of our participailon in 2022, we marched again in the Bourne Free Pride parade in support of our members who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community and in the spirit of inclusivity generally. Around 25 members and staff marched In the parade and most joined in the festival at Meyrick Park. Bourne Free were kind enough to offer our members a reduced rate ticket and were massively supportive of us throughout the process. Friendships were made and we were warmly welcomed. From August onwards we collaborated with BCP Ski115 and Learning to provide a variety of short courses, free to us, for our daytime members. These started with a few short gardening courses and settled into singing and drama on different days for the following terms. These have been successful activities bringing some structure, fun and engagement to the sessions. We are grateful for the support of the individual tutors and the wider Skills and Learning team. In December 2023 we had our very popular Members Christmas party at Winton British Legion with a disco, 'everybody wins, raffle and a performance by the participants of our 'singing for wellness. course run by Skills and Learnin8. A buffet was procured from Westbourne Rotary Club who run a catering scheme supporting women refugees and other people from ethnic minority backgrounds to learn business skills and we were delighted to continue to support a good cause whilst getting deliciou5, good value food. We had approximately 75 members attend plus carers. In January 2024 we hired Winton Methodist Church Hall and had an interactive members, pantomime, run by The Treehouse Theatre Company. This is always a popular, lively event. This was a change ofvenue and may have put a few people off as numbers were down from last year, but we were pleased that 36 members plus carers attended. We also hosted or attended other events, such as fish and chips at Bournemouth Pier,. supported members at Bi8 Night Out; and had a summer themed partyat British Le8ion. Saturday Club Saturday sessions continued through the year. free to all-comers until December 2023 and with the option of a light supper, prepared by our volunteers, for just £1. We continued to apply charity funds to subsidise these sessions until then but as we reviewed our overall pricing structure, we took the decision to increase Saturday fees to be more reflective of our costs and set these at £5 to include a light supper. This came into effect from January 2024. We have held a variety of activities and themed nights which have been well-received, and we were happy to see that numbers have increased steadily.

Income Generntlon Between April 2023 and December 2023 our incomefrom members feeswas £10 persession and from January 2024 £28 per session. which totalled £48,913 for the year12023: £25,061). Donations and Fundralsln8 We are delighted and thankful to recognise several donations during this year: We signed up at charity members of BH Coastsl Lotteries and are regularly promoting this on our social media. This is not bringing a big income but did start to trickle in at £3.50 received during this year 23-24. We have also signed up to Easy fundraising where we are paid a small amount when supporters shop online via their portal. Thi5 should bring in a small but steady stream of income - £58 was received in the 23-24 year. Other community fundraising came via Just Giving (£1631; Paypal1£831; Smile1£221 and a Facebook fundraiser1£2791. In addition, we recognised £372 net income from the efforts of a local social worker and a local learning disability nurse, who bravely undertook a skydive in April to raise funds for our club. Two families kindly nominated our charity to receive funds in memorial of their dear departed relatives Palau Roma and our late member, Gabriel Bennetts. Together these generous donations totalled £384. We are gratefully to The National Lottery Community Fund for a grant of £7,306 to fund our Thursday evening group for younger adults for the year January to December 2024 1£1,827 recognised in the year ended 31st March 20241. Many thanks to Belron Ronnie Lubin charity foundation for a donation to the amount of £4,226 15,000 euros) This nomination was via the sister of our member Amy P- many thanks for thinking of us. After four successive years when our charity's costs exceeded its income, this was a vitsl boost to club funds. We were sad to hear that Ferndown Gateway Club were unable to reopen after covid but remain grateful for their generous donation of £500 from a distribution of their funds. Many thanks to SNG Housing Association for their generous World Mentsl Health Day grant of £650 to fund our Zumba workshops through the winter months to keep our members active. Once again, we thank Singlepoint Bookkeeping. our payroll provider, who have donated their services via a Gift in Kind with a value of £928 to provide payroll services free of charge to us for several years in succession. Page 4 of 26

Stsff and Volunteeys We were delighted when Kathy started in April 20231 joining Anna, Sam & Sam on the payroll, and the staff team was further expanded in January 2024 when Gillian and Winston were appointed to launch the Thursday evening club for younger adults. Kirsty and Laura have continued as regular se55ional worker5, providing engaging activities for our member5 each week. We are also fortunate to have several regular and frequent volunteers who generously give their time to support our members. Rachel ensures that the art room is a welcoming space where people can chat and undertake quiet activities. Phil's Friday News Group is a very popular opportunity for everyone to have their say,. Marion, Nicky and Trey have helped to launch our Thursday evening club for younger adult5: Martin has entertained us with discos and karaoke sessions,. and Tracy and Julie have ensured that our Saturday evening club sessions run smoothly. In addition, we have had support from many other people who have volunteered on an ad hoc basis to make our club a happy and welcomin8 place. We are very grateful for the contribution that each and every one of our volunteers and supporters has made to Bournemouth Gateway Club - we really couldn't do it without you. Premises The building we use for our sessions is known as the Embassy Centre and is owned and rented to us by Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole IBCPI Council. BCP youth services were kind enough to retaift our rent at the previous, affordable rate whilst we continued to support our members through the post lockdown and cost of living crisis periods. The decision wa5 made to increase the hourly rate for our rent from £15 an hour to £20 per hour, a significant increase in c05t which in turn triggered a review of our pricing structure. We recognise that this increased rent still represents good value for money and we are grateful that we have continved to be able to call the Embassy Centre our home. Page 5 of 26

Plans for Future Perlods It remains clear that for our members it is the routines and mostly the friendships and relationships, which they develop throu8h Gateway Club that are most important to them. In the coming year we plan to focus on continuing to support members to regain and grow their confidence,. building those routines and reconnecting those friendships, growing their networks and having access to people they are comfortable to spend time with either physically or virtually. It has also become apparent that our members wish to be out and about in their community, meeting friends, taking part in activities and doin8 all the thin85 that the general population take for granted. We will do our best to support this by holding approximately monthly off-site social event5 and also encouraging and supporting members to meet independent of Bournemouth Gateway Club. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of our members, their carers: friends and families. We look forward welcoming old and new member5 and to continuing to provide social activitie5 relevant to our members, want5 and need5 moving forward. During the year ending 31 March 2025, we plan to pursue the possibility of taking on the Embassy Centre under BCP Countil's Community Asset Transfer ICATI process. Moving forward, we would like to review our operational hours to ensure that our services best respond to the needs of adults with learning disabilities or related conditions, and having greater certainty about our premises on an ongoing basis 15 necessary for our charity to be able to invest in Service development.

Finan¢lal Review The charity'5 in¢ome for the year ended 315t March 2024 totalled £63,351 (2023: £32,598) and it incurred expenditure of £59,283 12023- £38,681) resulting in a surplus of income versus expenditure of £4,068 for the year12023.. loss of £6,083). Income During the year, Bournemouth Gateway Club received £50,503 income from members for their weekly subs, payments12023: £25.3661. This came from daytime sessions1£48,9131, Saturday sessions (£1,140) and Thursday youth group {£4501. We recelved donations, gifts and Community fundraising totalling £7,667 {2023 £1,456). This was made up of £1,363 community fundraising. including £372 from a parachute jump done by two 5UPPOrters; £384 received in memorial of two people. and £607 from miscellaneous fundraising Income streams, including Facebook, Just Giving, Paypal, Smile, Easy Fundraising and the BH Coastal Lottery,. a £650 World Mental Health Day grant from SNG Housing Association,. £500from Ferndown Gateway Club's distribution of reserves; and £4,266 15.000 Euros) from the Belron Ronnie Lubin foundation, which had chosen our charity following a nomination by the sister of our member. Amy P. These donation5, gifts and otherfundraising activits'es make a huge difference to the work that our charity can do- we are hugely grateful for all of them. We are also really appreciative of the gift in kind which we receive from Singlepoint Bookkeeping, who provide our payroll service and other accounting tasks free of charge. We have quantified the value of this Gift in Kind as £928. The bulk of our income related to the delivery of our charitable services, which totalled £53,406 for the year {2023.' £27,741). This income compr15ed payments for daytime sessions1£48.9131; Saturday subs l£1,1401,. Thursday evening youth group1£4501,. Christmas party1£9701: Milfield trip1£3001,' and other members, activities l£1,6331. We successfully applied to the National Lottery Fund for a grant to pump-prime a Thursday evening group for younger adults and recognised £1,827 of this in the 2023-24 year. We received £451 interest on bank balances in the year12023.. £1311. Ex enditure The charity's total expenditure during the year ended 31 March 2024 was £59,283 12023: £38,681). Our key areas of expenditure were salaries and wages £32,124 12023.. £19.6611,' sessional payments to activity leader5 £3,76512023: £2,972),. art & craft materials l ad hoc activities £1,764 Page 9 of 26

12023.. £8691,. off-site social activities expenses £1,13612023: £1,2171- cookery club cost5 £1.012 12023.. £4971; and members, Christma5 party costs £71412023: £9191. Our premises costs were £13,07812023- £7,908), a significant increase on the prior year because BCP Council had agreed a discounted charge when we resumed services following the pandemic. Summa Financial Performance The charity trustees had made a conscious decision to apply our charitsble funds to subsidise the cost of members, activities until end December 2023 in order to enable and encourage participation because we were aware of the negative impact that the pandemic having restricted socialisation and then the subsequent cost of living crisis had had. As a result of this subsidy, we applied our charity serves to sustsin a loss in three successive financial years and our reserve fund5 decreased by £12,466 128%) between March 2020 and March 2023. Due to the price increase which took effect from January 2024, together wlth a greater level of fundraised income in the year, we realised a surplus of income over expenditure in the 2023124 year of £4,068, which meant that our charity reserve5 grew from £31,560 as of 315t March 2023 to £35,628 as of 31 March 2024. We try to operate prudently utilising the skills of volunteers; negotiating discounts with suppliers,. and critically assessing the necessity for all items of expenditure,. whilst ensuring that our members, experience of our activities is as positive as possible. This c05t-conscious approach, coupled with the generosity of our donors and supporters, enabSes us to have confidence in our charity's financial sustainability as we move forward. Rlsk Mana ement The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the charity faces. There are two principal risks to Bournemouth Gateway Club which the Trustees hove identified. The first is that of financial sustainability. The charity is fortunate that, particularly prior to the pandemic, we received several one-off donations and awards of funding over the years. This meant that the charity had a strong and liquid balance sheet, sufficient for the charity trustees to make the conscious decision to apply accumulated reserves to subsidise our fees in order to encourage the return to socialisation activities which we knew would benefit our members, health and wellbeing. This historic balance sheet strength meant that, whilst the Covid-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on our charity's operations with deficits being returned in three successive financial years, the Trustees remain confident that we have the financial resilience to continue as a going concern, Page 10 of 26

The second key risk to Bournemouth Gateway Club relates to premises. The club runs its èctivities out of the Embassy Centre in Brassey Rd. This is a council-owned Youth Centre, but due to changes within youth services it has been under-utilised", and Bournemouth Gateway Club has been the most significant customer for rental of the premises since 2010. During recent years, Trustees have continued to have dialogue with Council representatives to seek assurances about the future of the Embassy Centre and its availability as an ongoing base for our activities. Assurances about our ongoing tenancy gave us confidence to apply signilicant levels of charitable funds toward5 Investment in upgrading these premises and in purchasing furniture and equipment,. however, we have no long-term guarantees. BCP Council ha5 financial challenges and so is reviewing its property portfolio. The Council hos invited our charity to consider taking over responsibility for the premises under their Community Asset Transfer ICATI process and this is something which we are presently giving due consideration to. Following a successful Stage One Expression of Interest, we have Submitted a Stage Two business case arbd will seek to take forward dialogue with BCP Council representatives about takin8 on responsibility for the building under the Community Asset Transfer process during the 2024125 year. On a day-to-day basis, operational risk management is addressed through holding general risk assessments for the use of premises and risk assessments for individual activities outside of club. Activities. organisers working on a 5elf-employed basis are required to have their own IndeMn￿ty insurance. Staff and volunteers are DBS checked although, as we do not provide personal care, there is not actually a regulatory requirement for volunteers to have DBS checks in the way that exists for our charity Trustees. Investmen Poll As we do not foresee that we wi51 be fortunate enough to receive the level of grant or legacy funding enjoyed in prior years, we anticipate that most of the charity's funds will be spent in the short to medium term, so r¢0 funds have been identitied for lon8 term investment. This policy will be kept under review during the next year. Reserves Poli The Trustees have examined the Charity's requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the organisation. They have established policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed or irkvested in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity Should approximate to between three and six months of operating expenditure. As of 31st March 2024, unrestricted funds totalled £35,628, equivalent to circa 7.2 months, operating expenditure. We anticipate that this level of reserves will be reduced during 2024-25 if we progress BCP Council's process for the Community Asset Transfer of the Embassy Centre, as we will necessarily have to incur cosfs relating to legal and other professional advice.
