## Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended:  31[st] March 2024 

## **INTRODUCTION FROM THE TRUSTEES** 

Age Concern Bracknell Forest (ACBF) continues to provide essential services to our local community. Our Day Centre remains a cornerstone of our work, offering affordable and much-needed support to some of the most vulnerable individuals, particularly those affected by dementia. The centre is a vital resource, consistently well-utilised and highly valued by the community. 

We are also delighted to see our community outreach efforts bringing people together each week, especially those struggling with loneliness and isolation. The positive feedback and success stories we've received highlight the significant impact we’re making in local neighbourhoods. 

This year, we celebrate another successful period for the charity, from our popular Triple-A outings and events to our core services. The Board is especially pleased to announce that after a great deal of dedication and planning, ACBF has been selected to operate a brand-new, multi-functional site, set to open in 2024-25. We look forward to the exciting opportunities this new facility will bring for our community. 

Contributions and donations to Age Concern Bracknell Forest are vital in enabling us to continue supporting elderly individuals living with dementia, along with their carers and families, within our community and more. If you would like to donate, please reach out to us. Your support is crucial to the work we do and is deeply appreciated. 

Leaving money to us in your will can reduce the amount of inheritance tax your heirs will have to pay.  It is not necessary to write a new will - a codicil is a document used to make simple changes to an existing will such as a gift to charity or the addition of an executor. If you do decide to leave us a gift, please ensure you use the official charity name, address and registered charity number: 

Age Concern Bracknell Forest, 27 World's End Hill, Bracknell RG12 0XH Charity number 1153607

## Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended:  31[st] March 2024 

## **4. Achievements and Performance** 

4.1 Throughout 2023-24 our Day Centre has gone from strength to strength, further establishing our standing as a trusted low-cost provider of high-quality day care for the elderly and support for those with dementia. By offering sessions every weekday throughout the year, we have been able to continuously support and enrich the lives of our members. With a diverse range of activities, opportunities for social connection, and personalised care, we have created a friendly and inviting environment that nurtures companionship, mental stimulation, and quality of life. The impact of this facility continues to provide not only a benefit for those attending, but their carers by providing essential respite. 

4.2 We have successfully continued running our Community Groups in the Bullbrook ward, receiving an outstanding response from the local community. After deciding to close our Priestwood group, allowing the venue to run their own sessions, we seized the opportunity to launch a new Community Group in the Harman's Water neighbourhood. This new group has quickly attracted strong attendance, highlighting the ongoing need for social interaction and addressing loneliness within the community. Through a variety of activities and events, we are fostering connections and offering essential emotional support and guidance to local residents. Additionally, we have partnered with the NHS Memory Clinic to co-run a peer-led support group for carers, which meets weekly. This collaboration provides a safe space for carers to connect, share similar experiences, and access local services and resources tailored to their needs. 

4.3 This year, as part of our TRIPLE A provision we proudly completed another successful year of outings for those experiencing loneliness and isolation, with trips ranging from local theatres and attractions to health walks. These events have continued to provide valuable opportunities for older people and the wider community to connect with their local area (and further afield). Additionally, our weekend lunch club provision saw a full 12 months of sold-out events, held once a month. These low-cost meals have offered a quiet and safe space for those in need, ensuring access to nutritious food in a sociable setting. Through these efforts, we have continued to promote inclusion, well-being, and social connection among our older population and those who support them. We have plans to expand this further in the form of Community Coach trips across 2024-25. 

4.4 We are delighted to have taken part in numerous fundraising and awareness events throughout the past year, including at Ascot Racecourse, local supermarkets, garden centres, and more. These efforts have significantly boosted our organisation’s visibility and helped us secure essential funds to support our services and programs. The past year has been one of remarkable growth and progress for our charity, and much of this success is due to the generous contributions from various grants and the community's ongoing support. 

4.5 During this period, the trustees and CEO focused on shaping the charity's future by successfully securing a tender to become the formal operators of the brand new, multi-purpose Bucklers Park Community Hub. Located in the Bracknell area, this venue will be managed by the charity and serve as a vibrant space for local residents and organisations to come together. The Hub will offer a range of facilities, including hireable spaces for events, sports, fitness, and well-being sessions. It will also feature an on-site café and dedicated areas for children and young people, fostering a sense of community and inclusion for all.

## **5. Financial Review** 

- 5.1 Financial:  The results for the year and financial position are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 11 and the Balance Sheet on page 12.  Total incoming resources were £270,114 (2023: £190,381); Resources expended were £204,385 (2023: £157,134). The profit for this year was £65,729 (2023:  £33,274). The general reserve excluding tangible assets is now £269,826 which equals 11 months of operational expense for 2023/24.  The cost of running day care services was £101,824 (2023: £85,339) (note 4). 

The level of grants received has decreased by 66% this year.  In part this is due to another year of profit recorded. We continue to submit grant applications where appropriate and have been awarded a number during this financial period. 

During the financial period the leasehold improvement category of fixed assets were reviewed.  The assessment was made that there was no longer any value and that the prior year carrying amount of £12,762 should be written off. 

The Community Services expected from an “Age Concern” charity include distribution of information and the ability to provide support to our clients, families and carers. In addition to this we run a number of outreach groups and have a presence in local community centres.  The provision of these services forms the basis of our costs.  This year, the gross cost of those resources was £28,000 (2023: £18,314) as we have now restarted our community provision. 

## 5.2 Grants Donations and Fundraising 

- 5.2.1 Grants:  The Charity received grants totalling £32,150.  These included grants from: 

Afton Berkshire Community Foundation Bracknell Forest Council National Lottery Tesco Warfield Parish Council 

- 5.2.2 Donations:  The Charity received donations totalling £7,922. 

- 5.2.3 Donations in lieu of flowers:  The Charity continues to benefit from the generosity of families and friends who make donations in memory of loved ones instead of giving flowers at funerals. 

## 5.3 Risk Management 

We have restructured and have made operational changes to make the charity more effective. These initiatives resulted in long term operational cost savings. 

Ensuring our organisation stays up to date with any regulatory changes affecting both our employees and clients, as well as ensuring our employees have the appropriate information and guidance to perform their duties is essential. 

Page **7** of **17** 




## Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended:  31[st] March 2024 

Our employees are a vital part of the organization.  Ensuring they are both trained and motivated is key to the ongoing success of the charity, as well as making sure that we have sufficient levels of staffing to meet the needs of our clients. 

## 5.4 Reserves Policy 

The Trustees review the policy on reserves and set targets at least once per annum with reference to the guidance and terminology published by the Charity Commission. The policy is also reviewed, when warranted by changes in risk assessment or business plans. The review includes unrestricted funds and tangible fixed assets. Transfers to and from funds are authorized by the Trustees acting as a whole. 

## 5.4.1 General Reserves: 

   - The trustees believe it is good practice to maintain a target general reserve at a minimum of three months of operating expenditure, we are currently maintaining in excess of this level of reserves.  This is in order to appropriately bridge any short-term effects and/or negotiate alternative sources of care services that may be required. 

- 5.4.2 Restricted Funds: relate to funds received for specific charity objectives and projects.

## _**Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts**_ 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## _**Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants**_ 

This is only included in the SoFA once the CIO has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. 

## _**Government Grants**_

## **AGE CONCERN BRACKNELL FOREST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## _**Grants Payable without Performance Conditions**_ 

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor CIO to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.

## _**Redundancy cost**_ 

No redundancy payments were made during the reporting period. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

Deferred income has been included in the accounts. 

## _**Creditors**_ 

The CIO has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## _**Provisions for liabilities**_ 

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date 

## _**Fixed Assets**_ 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the CIO on receipt. 

## _**Depreciation Expense**_ 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over 3 years from the month they are purchased. 

## _**Debtors**_ 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the CIO. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
