Achievements and performance
Grenfell Club Chairs Report 24/25
This year has once again been a tremendous effort from everyone involved in ensuring that the Grenfell Club continues to deliver high-quality services to all our members and their support networks. We are proud to have reached 250 members and their families, offering them a place where they can connect, grow, and shine in a safe and supportive environment.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported the Grenfell Club over the past year, especially those who have contributed funding. Your support enables us to continue offering a diverse range of services and opportunities for our members.
The Grenfell Club currently maintains three adult sessions, a junior club, a teenage night, and our growing day service, which has become an integral part of the Grenfell ethos. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and management committee.
Our sessions provide members with opportunities to develop new skills, build friendships, and gain valuable life experiences. Each day brings new possibilities, and we take pride in helping every member build on their strengths and achieve personal growth.
We are fortunate to have a committed team of staff who work across all sessions, ensuring continuity of care and support for all our members. This is strengthened by a well-trained and dedicated workforce that upholds the high standards of professionalism and compassion that define the Grenfell Club.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to all our volunteers, whose generosity and dedication go above and beyond. These are truly special people who give their time freely to make the Grenfell Club the special place it is.
A special thank you also goes to our Management Committee — Dave Hamilton, Tina Hamilton, Shirley Hicks, Ann Milne, Julie Meadows, and Clare and Michael Allen-Mulroy — for their continued support and guidance.
As we move into the new financial year, we recognise the challenges ahead. We must explore new funding streams, build on the success of our day service, and increase membership in our evening sessions. These will not be easy tasks in the current financial climate, but with continued collaboration, creativity, and determination, we are confident we can adapt and secure the long-term stability of the Grenfell Club.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GRENFELL CLUB
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.
We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention:
4
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GRENFELL CLUB (continued)
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- a) The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the relief of people with a learning disability.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
The charity adopted SORP (FRS 102) in the current year but this has not affected the financial position or performance.
The accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016)rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
-
b) Income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
-
c) Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.
