Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The Riverside Active Lives Network is a charitsble company, established on 25 April 2014 and registered as
charity on 11 September 2014. The charty was established under a Memorandum and Articles of
Association, which established the objects and powers of the charity. and under which it is governed.
The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of members is limited to £10 per
member in the event of a winding up.
Management and governance arrangements
The Articles of Association provide for a minimum of one Director and no maximum. The charity currently has
a complement of one Directorrrrustee and four Trustees. Requirements for new Trustees are identified and
appointed by the remaining trustees. The chair of the Trustees is responsible for the induction of new
Trustees, which involves awaren8ss of a Trustee's responsibilities, the governing document, and the work of
the charity.
Public benefit
The Trustees confimi that they have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have
due regard to public benefft guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Objectives and Activities
The charity's objects are defined by its Memorandum of Association as lo be a not for profit day centre for
people with disabilities offering internal and extemal activities and encouraging social integration within the
community (Recreational Charities Act 1958)..
The official launch date of The Riverside Active Lives Ne￿ork was 27 September 2014 when the first activities
were open to service users.
Achievements and perfonmance
The past financial y8ar has been one of both challenge and achievernent for the organisation. Funding issues
previously experienced with local authorities have now been successfully resolved, establishing a firmer and
more sustainable financial position for the future.
Notwithstanding this progress. the year was marked by a decline in service member numbers, primarily due
to the sad loss of long-standing members and a limited number of new referrals from Kent County Council
(KCC). Despite these challenges. th@ organisation experienced a notsble increase in direct payment clients,
which contributed to healthy financial growth compared with the previous year.
Through prudenl financial management. controllable costs were carefully managed to offset increases in costs
beyond our control. This approach enabled us to maintain overall financial balance without compromising the
quality of the services we deliver.

satisfied with the organisation's performance. This continues to reflect our steadfast commitment to our user-
led ethos and to ensure that our services remain responsive to the needs and aspirations of those we support.
We have continued to strengthen our collaborative partnerships, particularly with a local college supporting

opportunities for adull social care students, contribuling to the development of future professionals within the
sector.
Our activty base has continued to expand. infomied by regular feedback from members and stakeholders.
ensuring that our programmes remain relevant and inclusive. In parallel, we have prioritised the professional
development of our stsff team, investing in new training opportunities to enhance skills and uphold the highest
standards of service delivery.

Flnancial review
The charity received grants and donations totalling £5.431 (2024: £8,048) in the year. Income from charitsble
activities amounted to £234,727 (2024: £195,491), investment income for the year amounted to £792 (2024:
£1,309), giving total incoming resources of £240.950 (2024: £204,848).
Expenditure for the year totalled £234,897 (2024: £241,062), giving a net surplus of £6,053 (2024: net deficit
of £36.214). Total funds carried forward are £77,160 (2024: £71.107}. Of these funds, £68.023 (2024:
£54,087) are general, free reserves being unrestrictecl net current assets.
Investment policy
The charitable company's Memorandum of Association does not o)nfer any specific rights or restrictions on
us as Trustees in respect of investing funds. The funds received by the charitable company during the period
under review were not sufficient to justify separate investment, other than to be placed on deposil with the
charitable company's bankers.
Reserves policy
The Trustees aim to maintain an amount in general funds equivalent to approximately three month's running
expenses, although this is dependent on the level of grants received.
At present the current reserves level is equivalent to approximately four month5, and the additional level of
reserves is considered to be prudent given the t￿nd in rising costs beyond the control of the charty.
Risk management
The Trustees have formally assessed business risks, and this has involved assessing the types of risk facing
the charitable company, prioritising them in terms of the potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and
identifying means of mitigating the risks. As part of this process the Trustees have assessed the adequacy of
the charitable company's internal controls and the costs of operating particular controls relative to the benefits
obtained.
