## **TENDRING ELDERCARE**
## **Tendring Eldercare - Chairman’s Report**
It is with great pleasure that I mark yet another successful financial year for our charity in North East Essex. We continue not only to grow, but to do so with strength and stability, supporting those most in need across Tendring and the wider North East Essex area. As we move from strength to strength, I remain incredibly proud of the work we deliver every day. This is only possible thanks to our wonderful team of staff and dedicated volunteers, whose exceptional commitment and care continue to make a real difference within our community.
Our day centre remains at the very heart of everything we do. Our relationship with Essex County Council, the NHS, and other key external organisations has grown stronger than ever, and we continue to provide the highest quality service possible to those who rely on us. Working alongside these partners remains fundamental to our success and is something Tendring Eldercare has done with pride for over 40 years. We are excited about the year ahead, including future projects and new ideas we have been developing in collaboration with healthcare professionals.
During the financial year, Tendring Eldercare recorded a total income of **£235,239** , with total expenditure of **£161,714** . This represents an increase in income compared with the previous year, largely reflecting the finalisation of the sale of the leasehold interest in our previous charity premises, which included receipt of the final payment of **£75,000** .
As a result, the charity is now in a strong and stable financial position. The two major sums received from the Kingston House leasehold sale have effectively covered the costs incurred during our leasehold period, including property maintenance and building-related expenditure. This means the charity is financially in the same position it would have been prior to taking on Kingston House, with the process now fully concluded and leaving us with clean and settled accounts. The completion of this matter has also enabled us to fund additional work at our current day centre.
Importantly, it has also allowed us to clear two key historic debts to individuals who supported the charity during its development. These were the outstanding loans owed to **Mr and Mrs Graham and Lesley Bell** , and to **Jean Allen** , a former trustee of the charity who supported the organisation during a vital period. I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to both parties for their kindness, support, and belief in our work. Their help played an important part in strengthening Tendring Eldercare, and it would have been far more difficult to achieve what we have without their support.
I would like to close by thanking everyone who continues to stand behind Tendring Eldercare, including our staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners, for their ongoing commitment. With a strong foundation, a stable position, and a clear sense of purpose, we look forward to the future with confidence and ambition as we continue to support our community.
## **Edward G. A. Bell JP**
**Chairman**
## **CEO’s Report**
It is with a very positive feeling that we bring this financial year to a close on a high. Tendring Eldercare continues to move forward and remains stronger than ever, and I am incredibly proud of the work we deliver through our projects and the hands-on support provided by our well-being and respite day centre on Stephenson Road.
The service we provide goes beyond respite alone. A significant part of our work focuses on supporting the wider family members, friends and carers of our clients, ensuring they receive the professional and compassionate guidance they need to continue the vital role they play in their loved one’s care.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our staff and volunteers. Without their dedication, commitment and hard work, the service we provide to our community would be far more difficult to deliver.
This year, we were also proud to secure an additional vehicle, strengthening our transport provision. Transport remains one of the greatest barriers for older people accessing services such as ours across North East Essex, and this has been a vital step in ensuring our clients can continue to attend and benefit from the support we offer.
We are proud of our strong working relationships with partners such as Essex County Council and the wider social care team, and I very much look forward to the year ahead and the continuation of the incredible work this organisation provides to the people of Tendring.
## **Laura Marston**
## **Chief Executive Officer**
## **Our Purpose and Activities**
Our purpose remains consistent with the aims set out in our constitution, which include:
- To relieve elderly residents in Tendring who are in need by providing services and facilities designed to meet their specific requirements.
- To preserve and protect the health and wellbeing of carers of elderly people by offering a reliable and supportive respite service.
- To alleviate financial hardship, poor health, or sickness among elderly individuals.
Tendring Eldercare is committed to supporting elderly residents and their families across the district of Tendring. Our services are designed to provide both care and respite, helping to improve quality of life and promote dignity and independence for those we support.
We operate an Eldercare Day Centre five days a week from our premises in Clacton-on-Sea. To ensure accessibility, we provide a dedicated transport service that collects residents from across the district and brings them safely to the centre. While attending the Day Centre, clients enjoy a full programme of activities designed to stimulate cognitive function, encourage physical activity, and enhance overall wellbeing.
All care staff are appropriately trained and qualified. This ensures that each client’s individual needs are met with professionalism, compassion, and consistency.
The Day Centre provides a range of services, including:
- A nutritious two-course meal
- Entertainment and structured, engaging activities
- Shower facilities
- Access to professional chiropody services
- Hairdressing services
Our facilities are designed to provide not only high-quality care but also comfort, dignity, and a welcoming environment.
Our core objective is to maintain and improve the wellbeing of our clients while providing essential respite for their families and carers, ensuring that all those involved feel supported and valued.
## **Achievements and Performance**
We have found that our Day Centre and the services it provides make a significant and positive difference to elderly residents in Tendring and their families.
As demand for our services continues, we recognise the ongoing need for our provision and remain committed to developing and enhancing our offer. We work in collaboration with a range of other organisations to support community cohesion and maintain a strong local support network for older people.
## **Financial Review**
At the end of the financial period, the charity recorded a total income of **£235,239** and total expenditure of **£161,714** .
## **Investment Powers and Policy**
Tendring Eldercare does not currently hold any investments. However, this is an area that the Board of Trustees would consider in the future should circumstances and opportunities arise.
## **Reserves Policy and Going Concern**
The charity’s reserves policy is to aim to hold reserves equivalent to approximately six months of running costs. This is currently estimated to be **£70,000** . These reserves are intended to ensure financial stability and to support the continued day-to-day operation of the charity should unexpected circumstances occur.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
Tendring Eldercare continues to maintain a long-term plan to lease or purchase an additional premises to enable the expansion of our Day Centre services.
The acquisition of a second premises would allow us to extend service provision into evenings and weekends, significantly increasing our capacity and enabling us to further enhance the way care is delivered to the local community.
## **TENDRING ELDERCARE**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
I report on the accounts of Tendring Eldercare for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 8 to 12.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity.
- Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- To state whether any matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## Independent examiner's statement
During my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the
- form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
