## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference
||Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The delivery of an extensive weekly
programme of exercise and activity classes
throughout the year has contributed to the
physical and mental wellbeing of our users.
Combating loneliness and isolation and
improving physical fitness and mobility is of
benefit not just to individual members, but to
society as a whole.
We receive regular positive feedback about
the fun, fitness and friendship JOY activities
provide.
Social inclusion is central to JOY’s work. Our
classes are low cost (£3) and many activities
such as Cuppa Club and Healthy Walks are
free. The trustees work hard to secure
funding to keep our activities affordable.
JOY is a diverse group which brings people
together from a wide range of cultural and
social backgrounds.
Our seaside coach trip and the Christmas
party (lunch, cabaret and dancing) was
thoroughly enjoyed by 100 people.
Signposting and accompanying members to
free events and venues locally, such as film
screenings, community garden visits,
museums, craft fairs etc improves the quality
of life for older people, many of whom live
alone and would not know about or have the
confidence to attend such events alone.
Quite a few members are digitally excluded
and we have worked this year to keep
people informed by producing a regular
newsletter and flyers for events.
An important consequence of JOY’s work in
bringing older people together in our area, is
that friendships are formed and members
socialise and support each other outside of
the organised activities, meeting for walks
and lunches together, attending Tea Dances
and POSH club events outside the local
area.
The improved health and wellbeing we see
in our members, some of whom now
volunteer in a local community garden, is of
wider benefit to society.||

## **Financial Review**
|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|JOY ended the financial year with reserves
of £5601 having spent £1,414 more than we
received in income. This was significantly
better than the previous year’s shortfall of
£6,640. This was achieved by a financial
review of our classes which resulted in
closing a class which had become poorly
attended, reducing the hours of a second
class and moving a third class to a free
venue. We also increased our advertising
which attracted some new members.
In the continued absence of any local
government funding we renewed our efforts
to seek funding elsewhere and were pleased
to receive £10,000 to be paid over 2 years
from a corporate sponsor.|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|JOY’s policy is that the charity will aim to
maintain reserves of around 10% of
operating costs. Reserves over this
contingency are used to further the aims and
objectives of the project and to subsidise
activities in order to ensure affordability and
social inclusion.|
