Chalrnian's Re
for the Year Ended 30
rll 2026
l am delighted to say that 2025-26 has been another very 5uctrssful year for COATS. Thi5 year we reach
the milestone of 60 years of COAT5. with the original house being acquired and formed into a charity in
1966. Since then we have been through many changes. evolving from offerin8 residential respite services
to our current incarnation as a thriving Social centre for Crowthorne's Seniors.
The Centre
Melissa and the team have focussed strongly on buildin8 the social and entertainment aspect of the Centre
with many more themed days. entertainers and. believe it or rK>t. wildlife visits l One of the highlights of
the year was a visit from Mortimer Alpacas. Our wsttors have been loving these wildlife encounters and
luckily th￿r star alpatas, "Tuffle and Artie" were Very well behaved. and the Carpet survived unscathed l.
The breadth of activities and entertainment is really paying dividends with visitor numbers continuing to
climb. We took the opportunity thi5 year to upgrade the capacity of our kitchen and add more staff and
volunteers to cater for the increased demand. 31>40 visitors a day 15 now the nonn and we are delighted to
be making such a difference to so many Crowthome residents, Itves.
The Shop
Of course the Centre couldn't exist without fundin& and this is where our High Street shop is making such a
difference. Following the expansion of the shop nearfy three years ago, footfall and tumover has been
8rowing steadily.This year will be another record year for fvnd5 raised from the Shop and this ties in
perfectly with the continuin8 growth in visitors in the Centre
Managing the enorrnou5 number of donations we 8et continues to be a challenge. We will continue to
expand our shop storage with regular themed and seasonal item5 being stored off-site to ensure that we
don't overwhelm the volunteers with the increased volumes of sales.
Volunteers
As well as our wonderful Centre staff, the backbone of our charity is the nearly ICKJ volunteers who run the
shop. help in the Centre. drive the Bus and raise funds for the Charity. COATS really has been a cooperative
effort from right across the Cfowthorne comrnuntty for 60 years now. To celebrate their contribution and
mark our 601h anniversary we held a Gafden Party for all our volunteers last summer. Many thanks to our
Trustee Martin for providing his garden for the party and for Wellington College for catering this and six
other fundraisin8 events for us last year.
Trustees
It's been a fairly stable and steady year for the Trustees With two new addltions in May 2025. Our
expectation is that as the number of wsitors grows then we will need to add more Trustees over the
coming year5. We are currently at 8. but would ideally like to be at 10. so we will Ii)ok to be bringln8 on 2
new Trusrees next year.
O¥erall
It's been another wonderful year for COATS and we are continuing to grow our visitor numbers. Next year
we will continue to refresh and expand the facilities in the Centre and ensure we maintain a good working
environment for all the Staff and Volunteers in the Centre and the Shop. We are all lookin8 forward to
another 60 years of COATS in Crovrthome I

and Financial Review
for the Year Ended 30
rll 2026
Our investment in 2025 in extending the COATS Charity Shop into the next-door unit has proved to be ¥ery
successful with another record year of tradin8. A good level of financial donations was received over the
year from a wide range of generous donors. Our total Income and Endowments provided sufficient funds
to cover our operating costs, such that the Charity achieved a trading profit of £18.05912025 - £13.8111.
Our investments performed well over a turbulent period and we made an unrealised gain on those funds of
£13,63012025 - loss of £3.4621. Our overall Net Income for the year was £31,68912025 £10.3491 which
when added to the opening Total Funds of £569,899 gives a closing balonce of Total Funds of £600.838.
The Charity continues to be in a very healthy financial p05ition. and the Trustees are confident that this will
allow the Charity to both improve and expand our current scope of charitable activities. 2026 - 27 looks to
be a year of significant capital expenditure for the Charity and tt is pleasing that we continue to hold
sufficient reserves to proceed with these planned investments.
Under the terms of our Constitution, full responsibility for all assets. liabilities and artivities of the Charity is
vested in the Trustees. The Charity can therefore make any lawful investment which the Trustees see fit.
