Chalrman's Re
for the Year Ended 30 A
ril 2025
2024-2025 has been a year of consolidation for COATS. After all the drama of COVID, doubling the size of
our Charity Shop and getting a record increase in the number of visitors, it's great to have a year with no
dramas1
The Centre
The biggest change In the Centre was the departure of our Centre manager of 20 years, Bernie. We gave
her a great send off at Christmas following a successful three months of handover to her replacement,
Mellssa. I'm delighted so say that Melissa has hit the 8round running and has fitted right into the COATS
family doing a terrific job in her first 9 months at COATS. We also welcomed Sarah into the Lounge team,
so we are at full strength again.
We need the full-strength team too, because visitor numbers continue to remain high, a testament to all
the great work the Centre staff and the volunteers are doing. Just follow our Facebook page to see what
everyone is up to every week at https,'l/www.facebook.com/COATS Crowthorne.
The increased numbers have brou8ht challenges, especlally In the kitchen, so part of our focus this year has
been refreshing equipment and increasing the capacity in the kitchen with two new ovens, a new
dishwasher and new freezer. This has taken some of the pressure off our terrific chefs and helpers and
glven our kltchen a welcome update.
The Shop
The shop continues to go from strength to strength. After all the challenges around doubling the shop's
capacity, worklng through the conversion perlod, the team has settled well Snto the lar8er premises.
In many ways we are victims of our own success. Donations are at a record hi8h and we have taken on
some extra storage space off-site to try and help with the Inevitable space problems of sortlng, pricing and
5torin8 $0 many donations.
Volunteers
Of course, the Shop, the Centre and the COATS mini bus couldn't run without our wonderful volunteers.
Once a8ain they have stepped up to the challenge, helpin8 US to manage all the additional visitor numbers
In the Centre and making sure the Shop and our Event5 continue to provide the fundlng to support them.
Thank you from all the Trustees for all your hard work, you are the backbone of COATSI
Trustees
The past few year has been quite a "changing of the guard" for our Trustee team and we continue to
recruit new talent. This year, followin8 an advert on our Facebook page we have welcomed two more new
Trustees:
Jonathon Monger
Dave Scouller
Both live locally in Crovrthorne, and between them will be taking on the management of our technology,
HR and our Flats. Welcome, Jonathon and Dave
Overall
I'm delighted to Say that we have had another great year at COATS. We've spent Some of our Reserves
refreshin8 and updating our facilities to handle the extra Visitors and our core team of Trustees and Centre
staff are back at full strength. We are all looking forward to another busy year at COATSI

and Flnanclal Revlew
forthe Year Ended 30 A rll 2025
The strong performance of our Charity Shop and a good level of financial donations received continue to
provide sufficient funds to cover our operating costs, such that the Charity achieved a trading profit of
£13,811 {2024 - £5,306). However, our investments performed poorly over a difficult 12 month5 to April
2025 and we incurred unrealised losses on those funds of £3,462 (2024 - gain of £19,137). Our overall Net
Income for the year was £10,349 12024 £24,443) which when added to the opening Total Funds of
£558,826 gives a closing balance of Total Funds of £569,899.
The Charity is therefore In a very healthy financSal position and the Trustees are confident that this will
allow the Charity to both improve and expand our current scope of charitable activitie5. 2025 - 26 looks to
be a year of significant capital expenditure for the Charity and it is pleasing that we continue to hold
sufficient reseNes to proceed with these investments.
We are greatly indebted to Yvonne Miles of PKB Accountants who has taken over as our Independent
Examlner and managed the preparation of these Reports and Accounts.
Under the terms of our Constitution, full responsibility for all assets, liabilities and activities of the Charity is
vested in the Trustees. The Charlty can therefore make any lawful Investment which the Trustees see fit,
RESERVES POUCY
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain reserves at a sufficient level to enable it to continue its current
operations for at least twelve months. Undesignated and unrestricted funds at the end of April 2025 stood
at £569,149 (2024: £559,550), of which £176,350 is in cash.
RESPON5181LITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accountlng Practlce)
and applicable law and regulations.
The law appllcable to charltles In England and Wales requlres the Charlty Trustees to prepare financial
statements for each year which 8lve a true and fair view of the state of affalrs of the Charity and of the
Incoming resources and applicatlon of resources, of the Charlty for that period, In preparing these flnanclal
statements, the Trustees are requlred to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them con5iStently.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subJect to any material departures
dlsclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy
at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Charitles Act 2011, the applicable Charitles (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the

OBJEcfivES AND AcfiviTIES
Objectlves and alms
The object of the Charlty Is "to promote the rellef of the elderly In Crowthorne and surrounding area in anv
manner which now or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable"
Both Bracknell Forest Councll
arbd Wokingham Borough Counc51 cover thls area.
The people we serve come from all sections of Society and a wide variety of clrcumstances. Many are
widowed and potentially lonely, of varying frailty and Mobility, and most are receiving some form of
medlcal attention.
We welcome all older people regardless of personal background, falth, Bender or personal circumstances,
as we believe this philosophy of openness to all enriches everyone, throu8h the sharlng of skills, aptitudes
and life experiences of older people and volunteers.
The current prime aim of the Charity is to maximise the use of The COATS Centre, and to deliver a growing
number of services to an increasing number of older people in Crowthorne.

OBJEcfivES AND AcnvmES
Significant activities
To meet these objertives, the Charity has gradually increased the number of services it is able to provide
and is continually seeking to extend these, as funds become available. The Trustees keep in mind the
Charlty Commission's Guidance on public benefit when looking into these services, thereby complying with
the duty in section 17{5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the guidance published. Currently
the Charity provides:_
• A Social Centre where older people can rneet in a warm, bright and friendly environment. The Centre is
open daily from Monday to Frldav.
A meal service which offers a freshly cooked two course meal prepared In our own well-equipped
kitchen, flve days a week, including tea and coffee, from 9 am until 4 pm (but 2:30pm Friday)
Social activity, in the form of keep-flt classes, dancln& talks, muslcal events, quizzes, skittles, themed
days, use of tablet computers and many other events.
• Asslstance to older people suffering from early stages of dementia. The Charity is able to help bridge the
gap between mild sufferers of dementia, who are able to attend without difficulty, and the more serious
cases, who are then helped to obtain specialist care.
Respite cover for carers during the day.
Help to older people In need, followlng a bereavement or illness, through a growin8 network of churches,
local doctors and other organisations.
Transportation for those unable to make their own way to The Centre, through the use of the COATS,
minl-bus. This is able to transport up to 8 people on one journey, including a wheelchair. Several journeys
are undertaken each day wlthln the RG45 postal code area.
Facilltles for other local charities that provide support for older people.
Opportunltles to get advlce on a range of important matters relatin8 to older people.
The Charity, in pursuing all Sts actlvitles, Is enthuslastically supported by about one hundred volunteers,
many of whom are older persons themselves, who not only help in The COATS Centre, but also drive the
minibus, and especially manage and operate the COATS Charlty Shop at 2271229 High Street, Crowthorne,
which is so vital to the funding of the Charity. In addition, the dedicated Events committee organise many
very popular and enjoyable events throughout the year, raising valuable funds for the Charity.
COATS, therefore, makes a major contribution to the well-being of many of the older people of
Crowthorne, thereby reducing and delayin8 the need for more costly forms of support. Taken together
with the contributlon of the staff and all the volunteers, COATS offers a valuable servlce and enjoys a
central position in the life of the community of Crowthorne.

STRUCTURE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity was founded in November 1966 and was governed by Its Constltution dated 17 March 1970 a5
amended on 19 October 1999 and 17 October 2005. However, following an Extraordinary General Meeting
held on 18 March 2013, application was made to the Charity Commission to become a Charitable
Incorporated Organisation {CIO), with virtually the same objectives, and this was accepted. The new CIO,
wlth Charlty number 1152306, was registered on 6 June 2013, and began operating from l Au8LlSt 2013,
when it received all the assets and liabilities of the unincorporated Charity number 259897.
The name of the charity was changed to COATS Crowthorne following approval by the Members at the
Annual General Meeting held on 26h September 2022. The Trustees belleved that the previous name of
Crowthorne Old Age to Teen Charity was unwieldly and needed to be modernised to align with the well-
known name of our successful charity shop.
Recrultment and appolntment of new trustees
Prospective Trustees are Identified as potential Trustees of the Charlty and are recruited by word of mouth
or by selectSve advertlsln8. Our policy is now to invite them to three meetln8S to see whether they are

report, they are invited to be appointed as a Trustee to hold office until they are proposed for election at
the next Annual General Meeting.
New Trustees undertake an induction process that includes belng made aware of their responsibilities as
Trustees, the governing document, administrative procedures and the history and phSlosophical approach
of the Charity. The Secretary supplies each new Trustee with copies of the previous year's Annual Report
and Accounts and a copy of the Charlty Commlsslon publications 'The Essential Trustee: An Introduction,
and 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know,.
Organlsatlonal structure
Management of COATS Crowthorne is vested In between 6 and 15 Trustees, but normally 10 - 12, who
form the Committee. The Trustees elect the Officers who comprise the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary.
The.Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting. One third of Trustees must stand down each year
but can stand for re-election.
Day-to-day management of The COATS Centre Is delegated to the Centre Manager.
Rlsk mana8ement
The Trustees have a duty to Identlfy and revlew the rlsks to whlch the Charity is exposed and to ensure
appropriate controls are in place to Pfovide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. All policies and
procedures are regularly reviewed and updated as necessary. A Trustee is nominated as the Health &
Safety representative.
