Objectives and Activities

Charity Objects from Governing Document:

The relief of learning disabled people in Basingstoke through the provision of employment, volunteering and development opportunities and the operation of a cafe in an effort to build their self-esteem, skills, independence and integrate them into mainstream employment.

Summary of main activities undertaken for the public benefit:

The Trustees of the Cafe Project have read the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and as a group have considered this guidance in their planning and decision making.

During the reporting period, the Trustees have delivered public benefit in pursuit of their stated charitable objects through the creation of an operational cafe and associated student vocational programme.

This has not only directly benefited the students but also the wider community through access to the services offered by the cafe.

Additional details of objectives and activities

To develop a catering facility and appropriate stepping stone training and employment experience for people with learning disabilities, according to their individual needs. This may be to position them for mainstream employment or provide a ‘day opportunities’ version of supported training for those students whose particular vulnerabilities will preclude them from mainstream employment.

To identify potential employers, advocate the skills of people with learning disabilities and provide transitional support to place them in paid or voluntary employment.

To engage people in fundraising activities to support the financial requirements of the Café Project.

To empower people with learning disabilities to help themselves and raise awareness of the challenges people with learning disabilities face.

As a charity working towards financial sustainability, we rely heavily on the generosity of time, spirit, commitment and dedication of our staff and volunteers to develop the organisation in a friendly and professional way to create an environment that changes people's lives.

Policy on Financial Reserves

It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reserves at a level which balances our objectives to develop and support services with our need to remain financially stable.

A minimum level of free reserves equating to at least six months of unrestricted expenditure is considered sufficient to cover salaries, administration and support costs and to respond to emergency needs which arise from time to time.

In addition, there is also a need to designate certain sums from free reserves for anticipated expenditure in the short to medium term.

This would generally be for capital expenditure, for grant funds allocated to a specific project, and will be specified in the notes to the annual accounts.

Key activities in reporting period:

Since our last report of 2021-2022, the Café continues to thrive for the community and all our other customers. Our Tripadvisor reviews are all excellent and remain at 5*. The footfall is growing weekly and often customers are turned away or, must be put on a waiting list.

Training continues to be an opportunity for our students to develop their confidence, social and hospitality skills; for example: health and safety, customer care, and all aspects of practical work in the café and kitchen.

We have reintroduced student of the month. An AGM and awards ceremony was held in September 2023 and a family day in August which were both well attended and enjoyed by all.

The café is developing new business relationships with Baxter Storey a contract catering company. They are also linked with a project called Crumbs, a similar organisation to the café based in Christchurch, which has been operating for a much longer period than The Dome. We are offering each other support, guidance, new ideas and new links with industry.

AIMS for 2024-2025

The café is now at full capacity both for students and customers. The café Dome project is looking to expand in the future. We would like to be able to offer more students with learning disabilities a more sheltered and enhanced training environment for those who would benefit from a quieter pace of learning. With support and guidance

The café remains viable with money to invest.
