Our Aims and objectives
Purposp.s and Aims
Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in our articles of association are to
benefit the residents of North Deal and the neighboufhood by working with the residents,
local authorities. voluntary and other organisations to advance education and to provide
facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the
aim of improving life for residents.
To do this, NDCC CIO aims to
Advance education: We provide a venue for Kent Adult Education, the University of
the Third Age lu3al and other organisations to deliver formal and informal education
courses for residents.
Provide recreation and leisure tlme opportunities: We host a variety of
independent groups and classes providin8 a ran8e of activitie5 including yoga, tai chi,
dancing, singing and keep fit. In addition. we aim to continue to provide our own
social club to tackle the problem of post-pandemic and social isolation within our
local community.
Improve social welfare: We support several 5elf-help groups for local people and
work in partnership with health and social care organi5ations and individuals
provlding services based in our community centre with a lon8-term view of ensuring
a positive, healthy, inclusive, and productive environment. Our aims fully reflett the
purposes that the charity was set LJP to further.
Ensuring ourwork delivers our aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This report looks at what we
achSeved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The report a150 helps us
ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focLtsed on our stated purposes. We have
referred to the Charity Commission's general 8uidance on public benefit when reviewing our
aims and objectives and in plannin8 our future activities. In partiCL&lar. the Trustees consider
how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The focus of our work

Working in partnership with other agencies to ensure the widest fange of services
are available that best match the needs of obr client population. Our Trustees have
attended networking sessions which raise the awareness ol our own centre but also
gives us better understandin8 of what is available in the wider district.
The quality of our work
We apply the best quality standards of Service to all our hirers, U5er5 and customers. We
value the contribution our volunteers make to rnaintainin8 excellent relationships with all.
How our work delivers public benefit
All our charitable activltles focus on improvin8 the lives of the residents of North Deal and
its neighbourhood and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public
benefit.
Who used and benefited from our services?
We have regular class sizes of up to 20 for fitness and health related exercise. Our café
regularly has around 24 customers at lunchtime. The educational sessions have betsveen six
and 30 attendees. We also see that support groups are well attended, showing that there is
help available when needed.
Through the 2023124 winter months we participated in the local council's Warm Welcome
initiative. This aimed to provide a warm, safe space for anyone in the local area to help save
on the costs of heating and involved providing free tea and coffee and company for 3 hours
on 3 afternoons a week.
We also received a grant from the local council to help residents in North Deal with the cost
of living, and we used this to subsidise meals in our café. To avoid any judgement a5 to who
may or may not need this help we discounted all meals, initially for 2 days each week, with
an option for anyone to pay the full price if they chose.
Equal access to our services is an important issue for us. We are aware that many of the
education and leisure activities within the centre are used by mainly white older adults and
that we need to look at ways of attracting younger people and people from minority ethnic
communities to the centre. We believe equal access to everything we do is vital to our
success and that successful outcomes must be shared by all communities that use our
community centre.

manager serving full English Breakfasts, V3-course Lunches and homemade snacks, cakes
and savouries at very reasonable price5; iv5 open weekdays from 9.(XS to 15.00.

Finap,cial Review
The financial results for the year endin8 31 Mar 2024 showed that the budgeted deficit of
£6208 was reduced to £4968. A combination of excellent Room Hire Income and funds
generated by the Social Interaction "Get-Together Club" attivities, together with an
unexpected Grant from the National Grid resulted in an income level 9% above Budget.
Non-recurring, thou8h significant, costs relating to Building Maintenance totalled over
£60110, without which a surplu5 would have been achieved.
An important financial change occurred in Sep 2023 when NDCC CIO took over, from East
Kent College, the management of the successful land key to our objectives) SKYLIGHT
CAFE. Cafe Income provided a contribution to GRCC overheads of £2504 in FY23124,
meaning that the overall deficit for NDCC CIO was reduced to just E2464. The Cafe
responsibility means an increase in Turnover from nearly £71,000 in FY 22/23 to a projected
£I30,￿J0 in FY 24125.
Principal Funding Sources-.
The main Income Stream is Room Hire (around three quarters), with Investment, Solar panel
revenue and other fund-raisin8 contributing to the well-being of the Centre. Grant funding
normally contributes around IO% of Room Hire income and during this year, NDCC CIO
received a Grant of £5000 from the National Grid and were grateful for the continuing
support from Deal Town Council tor the Get-Togethef Club.
Reservps Policy
The Board of Trustees has examined the charitWs requirements for reserves in light of the
main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not
committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between:
a minimum of three months running costs. This will enable the Charity to be able to
respond to short-term fluctuations in the levels of funding and to have sufficient
liquidity to meet short term liabilities.
an optimum reserves level of nine month5 running costs to ensure that any services
and projects undertaken can be sustained for a reasonable time.
If at any time the Treasurer has cause to believe that the policy will be breached, then it will
be reported at the next Board of Trustees. meeting and correttive artion agreed.
