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.

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.

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.

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.

miner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Direction5 given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual itern5 or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees 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
vlew, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In
