Whitcburch. St Mary Bourn¢ and Surrou￿J1nS areas of Nurth Hampshire, in any manner which now OT hereafter may be deemed by law. to be dwitable by the provityion and opa8tion of a day centr¢, ￿1¢h shall be known as "The Kingfisher Day Centre.. Slgnificant activltle The Trust provides day care for frail elderly peoplc to ¢nbance the quality of their liv¢& to enable to live independ¢ntly and to give respite to their carers. A lunch club is 8180 provided to promote wider commity engagemenL Most servicc users ¢ollected from their hom&g and arrive at the ¢tntre in the charitys customised dI￿bled accessible minibus. The charity provides a wide range of group and individual activities and personal care during the day within a Safe. relaxed and friendly family environment. The day centre has ll lounge, a dining room. wi area for arts and Crafts, a quiet room and a kitchen. In addition there are well-equipped shower and toilet facilities. includtng two wet rooms with wbeelchair acce￿. All areas have been adapt¢d for easy acce&8 by our servi¢e users. Publ1¢ beneflt The Trustees have given serious consideratlOD to the Charity Commission's general 8uidanc¢ on publi¢ benefit when revi¢v4ing thc trust's aims, objectivcs and in plannin8 activities. This year public bencfit has been achieved by enhancing the lives ofour service users by the provision of support service5. AcH￿VEmENT AND PERFORMANCE We have had a 8ucce&8ful year this year. Il'8 such a relief to be providin¥ a complete service to people in the local area again. at the close of 2024125 VK are full, and looking at incr¢￿ing our wup size by increasiog the numbcr of stsff we employ. W¢ have supported 73 families tbAS year and our existing service users hav¢ increased the number of days they attcnd which has led to a b¢tter more consistent group ensur1￿ we can providc better ¢ar¢ for thcm. As usual our focus is on the people who use the Centre, 2024125 has been a year of partie& celebrations and new experiences for our service users. The Paris Oljinpics inspired our own 8POrting challenge5; the Grand National &nd Ascot ra¢ing inspired our 'IAdies Day, f&shion creations and we created our owi mini g8Tdens to submit virtually to The Chelsea Flower Show. Our multi-generational project is going form strength to strength. It is such a ple&%uTe to see the internctions between the work experAen¢e children and OUT servAce users. Bread maknn& clay sculptur¢ and other craft activities are always popular along with our skittle alEey and County walks. This y¢ar we were able to secure Several grants includAng one fonn Sov¢r¢ign Housing for £7,000. This was financially siBnifAcant for us and has ensured we did not have to increas¢ the lunch chargL'8 for our service users, something welcomed by everyone at the Centre. The incre88es in food costs over the last year 1$ 8ti11 a concern for us but would have been a much bigger problem without the support from Sovereign Housing. We also ran the Charity Shop in WhitchurLh for a ¢ouple of week4 but our nN)st enjoyable fundraising event was a Jumble Sale at the centre, this has becom¢ a frni fixture and is thorougbly enjoyed by our staff and volunteers, we were able to raise vital funds for all the little extr&s on offer at the centre. We were able to br¢ak even this year which is very ple&8inE. Our post-¢ovid recovery plan was accomplished vAiich means financially we can settlc into increasing provision and d¢veloping the s¢rvice. We remain positiv¢ about the n¢¢d for our service and the quality of stsff aTLd activities on offer. Finally, I would like to thank all the staff and voluntcers for their continued dedication. Nicola Smith our n]anager for the last 19 years 18 retiring and ow s¢arch for her replacement began in March. W¢ wish her w¢ll and look foTward to a new era at the ¢entr¢. Page I

The Kln rjsher Trust 2014 ort of the Trustee8 for the Year Ended 318t March 2025 FII%ANCIAL REVIEW Flnanclal position Il is the Tn￿ policy to hold Te5erves amowiting to between & and 9-months' nmning costs but this has not been possible since the start of the pandemic. We have worked very hard to ensure w¢ were able to stick our Recov¢ry Plan. It has taken 4 year4 but we are finally able to hav¢ & dcgree of confidence with th¢ long-terni security of tbe Charity. Obviowly. the increase in minimum wage and changes to the employer National tnsurance Contributions will have a significant impacL but we are used to obstacles aniL if nothing e]4 the pandemic has made us far more resilient than w¢ were before. Total fimds ca￿led forward at 31 Ma￿h 2025 stood at £271.214 of which £83,460 was represented by our inallenable leased propety. The tr￿teeS have no discretion over this fixed asset so it does not fonn part of the Teserves policy.
