Rep¢>rt of the Trustees
for the year ended 30 Aprfl 2024
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 30 April 2024.
The financial statements compty with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Stalem8nt of
Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Finanaal Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ir8land (FRS 102) {effeclN8 1 January 2019).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governlng document
The Chanty was fovnd8d in November 1966 and was govemed by its Constitution dated 17 March 1970 as amended on 19
October 1999 and 17 October 2005. However, following an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 Mar¢h 2013,
application was made to the Charity Commission to become a Charitablè Incorporated Organisation (CIO), with vlrtually the
same objectives, and this was 8￿pIed. The new CIO, with Charity number 1152306, was registered on 6 June 2013, and
began operating from 1 August 2013, when il received all the assets and liabili1188 of th8 unlncorporated Charity number
259897.
The name of the charity was Changed to COATS Crovrthome following approval ty the Members at the Annual General
Meeting held on 26h September 2022. The Trustees believe that the previous name of Crov#lhom8 Old Age to Teen Charity
was unwieldly and needed to be modemised to align with the well-known name of our successful charity shop.

We welcome all older people regardless of petsonal background, lailh, gender or personal circumstances, as boli8vè
this philosophy of openness lo all enriches everyone, through the sharing of skills. aptitudes and lrfe experiences ol older

Following the dosure of residential services at Woodmancote in October 2003. regular Day Centre facilities were reopenad
in June 2004 for one day a week, and these have been progressively extended. The current prime aim of the Charity is to
maximise the use of The COATS Centre, and lo deliver a growing number of services to an increasing number of older
people in Crowthome.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ON ACTIVITIES
l am delighted to say that at COATS we have had another terrific year both in the Centre and the Charity Shop.

The Shop
The Trustees made a bold decision last year to acqulre the rights to use the Shop next door to our current shop. After
knocking through the wall belween the Iwo shop$, some significant rènovation and lots of hard work from th8 shop
volunlaers. the new shop opened for buslnéss in mid-November.
hat a difference it has madè l No moro standing shouldar-ttrshoulder belween the aisles; there's now significantly more
space lor our volunteers to work in, lols more shelf space for selling and it is generalty a much better place for both our
volunteers and customers.
sin￿ the r•-opening, th6 shop has gono from strength to strnngth. Sale$ are up 30% on a like*for-like bas1$ making
another record year for the Shop. This is importanl in $0 many ways. We have created a much beller space for our
volunleers to Y￿￿( in and the In￿8$ed revenue ha$ $trengihened our finances in the fac8 of rising costs and losing our
council funding.

Report of the Trustees
forthe year ended 30 Aprll 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The acquisition of the new Chanty shop leases and the related refurbishment costs have had an impact of £31.004 on our
Total Expendilur6 in the year. The Trustees believe that this investment is justified given the continuing success of the
Charity shop and its vital contribution towards the running cosls of the COATS Centre. The record sales achieved by the
Shop of £189,233 are a credit to the many volunteers who give thèir time so willingly.
Grant income continues to fall away, with only one grant of £750 kindly provided in the year by Wokingham Without Parish
Council.
The Chanty's Investments perfomed strongty over the year producing a not. unrealised gain of £23,156 which has helped
Ihe Charity to stay in surplus in a year of inflationary pressures on costs and overheads.
The overall Net Income for the year was £23,683. which vthen added to the opening Total Funds of £534,383 gives a
dosing balance of Total Funds of £558.066. The Charity is therefore in a very healthy financial position and the Trustees
are confident that this will allow the Chanty to both improv8 and expand our current scope of charitable activities.
We ar8 greatly indebted to Gary Robinson of Slewart & Co who h8$ acted as our Independent Examiner and assisted In
the preparation of these Reports and Accounts.
Under thé tenns of our Constitutlon, full r6sponsibility for all 8ss813, Ilabllitles and adlvllles of the Charity is vested in the
Trustees. The Chanty can therefore make any lawful investmenl which the Trustees see fit.
RESERVES POLICY
It 1$ the policy of the Chat6ty lo m8inlain reserves at a $uffici0nt1ovel to enable It to continuo its current oporalion$ for at least
Iwelve months. Unde$ignated and unrestrlcted lunds at the end ol April 2024 stood at £557,316 (2023: £534,383), of vthich
£152.983 is in cash.
