Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Achlevemerrts and Performance Overview Bournemouth Gateway Club contr.nues to adapt, applwng best endeavours to provide regular social, leisure and learning opportunities, contact. continuity and ideas for our members to stay happy, occupied and healthv. Our provision is currently 3 days per week 10:30am-3pm (Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays) and alternate Saturday evenings 6-8pm. We also aim to facilitate an offsite social event once per month. There continued to be lots of activity and friendship5 rnade on our Facebook social group page only open to adults with a learning disability and their family members / 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 signp05ted wider opportunities, With a following of nearly 2,0￿ we have occasionally been able to 'monetise' some of our Facebwk posts, but this has only reali5ed 3 few pounds over the year. To manage numbers and not overcrowd the premises post-covid, we limitedmember 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 member5 comin8 and goin8, a less structured environment and a shorter period on site. From l January 2024 our fees were set at £28 per day1£8 per hour) which made us good value in a broad market. We made clear that we were open to discussion with anyone for whom this price might cause financial hardship, and we have been able to offer a discounted rate, underpinned by a grant from Dorset Communlty Foundation. to some of our rnore vulnerable members and a group rate, to a care home who brought several clients with carers. We have an increasing number of members (there were eleven as of March 20251 for whom Bournemouth, Christchurch and P¢x)le Council IBCPI commission our services directly. Discussions continue with BCP about the future of the Embassy Centre building in Brassey Road, Moordovm, that we run from and we remain positive about our charity takin8 on responsibility for the premises under the council's Community Asset Transfer ICATI pr￿e$s. We have recelved drafts Heads of Terms and are workin8 to understand the full implications of these, for example what it would mean to our charity to enter a Head Lease with a Sub Leas

(Hands of Stone Boxing Club/Winton ABC Limited} in situ. There remain several polnts to clarify before we can conclude the CAT process. We have also been involved {to a small extent) with the BCP day opportunities strate8V development I review and we remain a willing partner to explore the delivery of pilot schemes with the aim of widening options for adults with learning disabilities to participate in meaningfLA activities. Speclal Projects Youn er Adults Club Following a necdotal feedback from friends and family indicating a need for a social group fcr younger adults, we applied for - and were fortunate to receive - a grant of £7,306 from The National Lottery Community Fund. This funding supported the establlshment of a weekly Thursday evening social club for younger adults with special needs. aged 18 to 25 for the 2024 calendar year. Of the total grant fundin8, £5,479 has been recognised as income in the 2024-25 financial year. Promotion for the sessions vrfas carried out via social media, stsff and volunteer networks and broader outreach through BCP teams such as The Transitions Tearn, Youth Services, and variou5 local organisations. Although participant feedback was consistently positive, overall attendance remained low. Attendance ranged from a minimum of 3 to a maximurn of 13 participants, with an average of 9 per session. Given the ongoing costs associated with staffin8, venue hire, refreshments, and actlvitymateriaLs.' It wa5 determined that the group was not flnanclally sustainable in the long term. As a result, the club closed in December 2024. We remain open to revisiting a similar initiative in the future, potentially with adjustments, particularly once we have ￿n￿stricted accessto the premises and are no longer subject to specific rental charges for these hours - 3 change that could improve the viability of such a group. Events and Activities We have tried to make a commitment to - approximately once per calendar month - facilitstirE an off-site social activity as this is always a very popular request from our members during our termlyactivity planning sessions - these events have included 'The Big Night Out, with a pub meal beforehand. crazy golf, bowling and other meet ups.

In what has become an annual event, we marched in the Bourne Free Pride parade in support of our members who are also part ofthe LGBTQ+ community and inthe spiritof 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 member5 a reduced rate ticket and were massively supportive of us throughout the process. Friendships were made and we were warmty welcomed. We hosted The Creature Teachers interactive animal encounter on all three of our days across the year. We welcomed the RNLI for a week of water and beach safety talks. Ourthanks to Winton Librdryfor their ongoing support of our members who regularlyenjoy a trip out to browse the books, attend events, exhibitions etc and to have a picnic inthe library gardens. Many thanks to the Frlends of Dolphin volunteers for hosting a Series of free boat trips around Poole Harbour on each of our days across the summer. Our thanks to Growth HQ, a local marketing company, who were kind enough to support us wlth both staff volunteers and funding to tske many members on a trip to Bournemouth Oceanariun with lunch Included. Throughout the year we 5UPPOrted members to attend several events hosted by People First Forum (another local charity supporting adults with learning disabilities) including workshops on 'The Bill of Ri8hts' and 'The Big Plan.. We supported membersto walk lif ablelto Slade's Farm Parktoenjoy the facilitiesthere and then have a fish and chip lunch at The Crumbs Project - a charity who run a caterin8 skills project fLT local adults with learning disabilities. We collaborated with BCP Skills and Learning to provide 3 variety of short courses. fre e to us, fcT our daytime members. These included 'foundations to wellbein8' and 'confident social communication,. These have been successful activities bringing some structure, fun. and en8a8ement to the sessiuns. We are grdl'eful for the support of the individual tutor5 and the widef Skills and Learning team. In December 2024 we had our ever-popular member5 Christmas party at Winton British Legion with a disco, 'everybody wlns, raffle and a performance by the participants of our 'singing fr wellness, course run by Skills and Learning. A buffet was procured from Westljourne Rotary Club who run 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 delicious, good value food, We had approximately 75 members attending plu5 carers. Sn January 2025 we returned to Winton British Legion and had an interactive member's pantomime run by The Treehouse Theatre company. This is always a popular lively event. Saturday aub Saturday sessions coniinued through the year. We continued to apply charity funds to subsidise these sessions - Saturday fees are set at just £5 to include a light supper. We have held a variety of activities and themed nights which have been well-received, and we were happy to see that numbets have increased steadily. Income Generntion Between April 2024 and March 2025 our income from members fees was £28 per daytime session (£8 per hour) which totalled £89,734 for the year {2024: £48,913). IX)natlons and Fundralsln8 We are delighted and thankful to recogni5e several donation5 during this year: Many thanks to the team from B&Q Castlepoint who spent a day refurbishing and redecorating our art r￿rn and adding new furniture and equipment to a totsl value of approximately £1,000. We signed up as a charity member of BH Coastal Lotteries and are regualrly promoting this on our social media. This is not bringing in a big income but realised £218 in this financial year. We have also signed up to Easy Fundraising where we are paid a small amount when supporters shop online via thei r portal. This should bring in a small but steady stream of income £91 was received in the 24-25 year. Many thanks to Dor*t Community Foundatton for a £5.CMXI grant towards core costs to help us to expand our hours, extend our range of activitie5 and to support our more vulnerable members. This has enabled us to offer a reduced rate fee to meM￿r5 who are strugglin8 linancially and could not afford to attend otherwise. Once agaln. we thank Singlepoint Bookkeeping, our payroll provider, who have donated their services via 3 Gift in Kind with an estimated value of £l,SOO to provide payroll services and other bookkeeping services free of charge to us for several years in succession.

Staff and Voluntee Unfortunately, with the young people's club ending, we V￿re unable to extend Gill's contract into 2025, but Winston remained on our 'banY staff. Throughout the year we employed 6 staff with total of 52 hours each week, an equivalent of 1.3 full ttme staff. From January the hours dropped to 46.5, an equivalent of 1.24 full time stsff. Kirsty and Laura have continued as regular sessional workers, providing engaging activities for our members each week. In March 2025, Laura joined our payroll and started to work 2 full days each week. We are a150 fortunate to have several regular and frequent volunteers who generously give their tlme to support our rnembe￿. 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 wpular opportunity for everyone to have their say: Marion, Nicky and Trey have helped to run our Thursday evening club for younger adults; Martin has entertalned us with discos and karaoke sessions; and Trdcy, Maria 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 bas15 to make our club a happy and W￿lCoM1ng 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 wthout 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 and Poole Council IBCP}. Our rent remains at £20 per hour. We recognise that this still represents good value for money, and we are grateful that we have continued to be able to call the Embassy Centre our home.

Plans for Future Perlods It remains clear that for our rnernbe￿ it is the routines and rnostly the friendships and relationships. which they develop through Bournemothh Gateway Club, that are most important to them. In the coming year we plan to focus on continuing to 5UPPOrt members to regain and grow their confidence,. building those routines and reconnecting those friendship5, growing their networks and having access to people they are comfortable to spend time with either physically or virtually. We also know that our members wish to be out and about in their community, meeting friends, taking part in activities, and doing all the things that the general population take for granted. We will do our best to support this by holding approximately monthly ott-site social events and also encouragin8 and supportin8 members to meet independent of Bournemouth Gateway Club. We are very grateful for the ongolng support of our members, their carers: friends and famili We I￿k forward welcoming old and new members and to continuing to provide social activities relevant to our members, wants and needs moving forward. Moving forward we hope to realise our plans to take on the Embassy Centre under BCP Council's Community Asset Transfer ICATI process, a5 havin8 our own premises would be transformational for our charity. We will review our opening hours to ensure that our services best respond to the needs of adults with learning disabilities or related conditions, and having greater certainty abolrt our premises on an ongoing basis is a necessity for our charity to be able to invest in service development. We will engage with HMRC toseek clarityon the VAT status of our Income streams. It 15 our belief that grant funding received is outside the scope of VAT; and saturday evening sessions are non- business because they are open access to all, subsidised by our charity reserves as income generated is significantly less than the cost of delivery. The bulk of our Income derives from sessional payments for day opportunities servlces. As a registered charity we are an eligible body for VAT Notice 70112 - Welfare Services and Goods, We believe that our day opportunities are Welfare Services, namely the provision of care, treatment. or instruction designed to promote the physical or mental welfare of disabled persons, There is a third criteria for our services to be an exempt supply, which is that the recipient of services must have been personally assessed. We believe that people attending our services will have a care plan which specifies the need f meaningful acttvities, but we are endeavouring to follow up with commissioners or our members. social workers to confirm that this is the case. th We will also focus on fundraising activities to mark our 15 year as a charity and to seek capital 8fdnt funding towards the refurbishment of the Embassy Centre.

Flnanclal Revlew The charity's income forthe year ended 31st March 2025 totalled £112,67912024: £63,351) and It incurred expenditure of £73,249 12024: £59,283) resulting in a surplus of income versus expenditure of £39,430 for the year12024.' £4,068). Income During the year, Bournemouth Gateway Club received £94.491 income from members for their weekly subs, payments 12024: £50,503). This came from daytime sessions1£89,7341, Saturdav 5essions1£3,1071 and Thursday youth group {£1,6501. We received donations, gifts and community fundraising totallin8 £5,786 {2024£6,739). This was made up of £786 community fundraisin8 and from miscellaneous fundraising income streams, including Facebook, Just Giving, Paypal, Smile, Easy Fundraising. and the BH Coastal Lottery; and a £5,000 grant from Dorset Community Fund to pay for core costs to help us to expand our hours, extend our range of activitie5 and to support our more vulnerable members. These donations, gifts and other fundraising activities make a huge difference to the work that our charity can do- we are hugely grateful for all of them. We are also ￿allY 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 £1,50012024: £9281. The bulk of our income related to the delivery of our charitsble services, which totalled £99,282 for the year12024: £53,406). This income comprised payments for daytime ses5ion5 1£89,7341: Saturday subs1£3,1081; Thursday eveninR Vouth group l£1,650}: Christmas party1£7651: Millfield trlp1£1151; and other members, activities1£3,2631; and £648 income from NHS England f hosting occupational therapy students as part of their placement activities. We successftjlly applied to the National Lottery Fund for a grant to pump-prime a Thursday evenlng group for younger adults and recognised £ 5,470 of this In the 2024-25 year. We received £632 interest on bank balances in the year12024: £4511. Ex nditure The charity's total expenditu￿ during the year ended 31 March 2024 was £73,249 12024: £59,283). Our key areas of expenditure were salaries and wages £38,077 12024: £32,124),. sessional payments to activity leaders £4,30612024: £3,765),. art & craft materi31s/ ad hoc activities£4,5 12024: £1.7641,' off-site social activities expenses £2.09012024: £1,136); Millfield trip expenses

£67012024: £590) C￿kerY costs £42912024: £1,012),. and members, Christmas party costs £295 12024: £714}. Our premises costs were £15,05S12024: £13,078) which reflects the sessional rent paid to BCP. We expect premises costs to signifcantly increase when we conclude the Community Asset Trdnsfer, not least because there is significant backlog maintenance to be addressed. Summa Financial Performance The charity trustees had made a conscious declslon to apply our charitable funds to 5ubsidise the cost of members, activities until end December 2023 in order to enable and encourage participation because we were aware of the negative impact of 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 reserves to sustain a loss in three successive financial years and our reserve funds decreased by £12,466 128%) between March 2020 and March 2023. Due to the price increase which took effect from January 2024, together with a greater level of fundraised income in the year. we realised a surplus of income over expenditure in the 2023124 year1£4.0681 and in the 2024/25 year, we realised a surplus of income over expenditure of £39,430, which meant our charity reserves grew from £35,628 as of 31 March 2024 to £7S,059 as of 31 March 2025. Trustees took the decision to establish 3 Designated Reserve of £70,000 to plan for the premises renovation costs associated with taking on the Embassy Centre under the Community Asset Transfer process. This is a clear demonstration of our charity's commitment to apply charity reserves as matched funding to external 8rant applications. The charity's 'free' Un￿StrICted reserves as of 31st March 2025 were £5,059. We try to operate prudently utilising the skills of volunteers- negutiatin8 discounts with suppliers,. and critically assessing the necessity for all items of expenditure,, whilst ensuring that our members, experience of our attivities is as positive as possible. This cost-conscious approach, coupled with the generosity of our donors and supporters. enables us to have confidence in our charity's financial sustainability as we move forward. Risk Mana merrt The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risk5 to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedure5 have been established to mitigate the rlsks that the charity faces. There are two principal risks to Bournemouth Gateway Club which the Trustees have identifi'ed. 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 yea￿. This mea nt 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 io

encourage the return tosocialisation activitieswhich we knew would beneftt 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 succe55ive financial years. the Trustees were confident that had the financial resilience to continue as a going concern. In 2023/24 we returned a small surplus and in the 2024/25, we were able to rebuild our reserves to a total of £75,059 due to achieving a surplus of income and expenditure of £39,430. Having considered future cash forecasts, the Trustees are content that the Going Concern basis of accountin8 is appropriate. The second key riskto Bournemouth Gatewayclub relatesto premises. The club runs its activities out of the Embassy Centre In 8rassey Road. Thls 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 rentsl of the premises since 2010. BCP Council has financial challenges 3 nd so reviewed its property portfolio and invited our charity to consider taking over responsibility for the premises under their Community Asset Transfer ICATI process. We submitted a successful Sta8e One Expression of Interest and Stage Two business case and dialogue has been takenforward with 8CPCouncil representatives. Heads ofTerms forthe Lease have been agreed and we awaitfeedback from BCPCouncil about whether the Leasewill include a Sub-Lease in respect of the upstairs hall, presently rented to an amateur boxing club. We hope that these lease / su￿leaSe discussions will be concluded and the formal Lease Transfer effected as early as practicable in the 2025126 year. On a day-trpday basis. operational risk mana8ement is add￿SSed through holding general rlsk a55es5ments for the use of premises and risk assessments for individual activities outside of club. Activities, organisers working on a self-employed basis are ￿quired to have their own indemnity 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. Im￿stment Pollc As we plan to take on full repairing and insuring responsibillty for the Embassy Centre under the Community Asset Transfer process, we anticipate we will be expending significant amounts on premises improvements and therefore we anticipate that most of the charity'sfunds will be spent in the short to medium term, so no fund5 have been identified for long term investment. This policy will be kept under review during the next year. Reserves Pollc 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 li

invested In tangible fixed assets held by the Charlty should approximate to between three and six morrths of operating expenditure. As of 31st March 2025, unrestricted funds totalled £75,059, which broadly equal to a full year 112 months) operating expenditure in 2024125. However, trustees have designated £70,000 of this for premises improvements, leaving £5.059 unrestricted 'free' reserves, equivalent to circa 4 weeks, operating expenditure. Whilstthis is lower that the parameters of our Reserves Policy, the time that the formal Lease Transfer is likely to take means that we do not foresee applying the Designated Fund to premises investment before January 2026 and our financial plans indica that the value of our 'free ￿serVes, will grow during the lir5t nine months of the 2025126 year, bringing these within the three to six months stipulated by our Reserve5 Policy. Structure Governance and Mana ment Governin Document Bournemouth Gateway Club is a charitable company limited by 8uarantee, incorporated on 17 February 2012 and registered a5 a charity on 7 June 2012.

Res ectDie Res onsibilities of Trustee5 and Examiner The Trustees Iwho are also the Directors of the Company for the purpose5 of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for thls year under section 144 of the Charltfjes Act 2011 (the char￿e5 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my resp0nslbl1￿V'. To examine the accounts under sectlon 145 of the Charittes Act To follow the procedures laid down in the gener81 Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Art- and To State whether particular matters have come to my attention Basis of Inde endent Examiner's Statement My examination was carried out in Bccordance with the general Direthons g￿￿ 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 anv unusual item5 or disc105ures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evldence that would be required In an audit and consequently no opinion Is g￿en a5 to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair vie%rf and the report is limtted to those matters set out in the statement below. Inde endent Examiner's Statement In connertlon with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that: accounting records have not been kept in accordance with sethon 386 of the Companles Art 2006: the accounts do not accord wlth such records; where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charrtles SORP IFR51021,' any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
