Keyworth & District Community Concern
Registered Charity Number 1166637
Life President Mrs Doreen Gee
Trustees’ annual report for the period: Start date: 1st May 2022 End date: 30[th] April 2023
Objectives:
-
To relieve the needs of elderly people in Keyworth and the surrounding area by the provision of a Day Care facility and the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their condition of life.
-
To provide a community transport service for the inhabitants of Keyworth and the surrounding area who are in need of such a service because of age, sickness or disability (mental or physical) or poverty, or because of lack of availability of adequate and safe public passenger services.
Key actions:
-
In light of significant higher operating costs, particularly fuel, the Trustees increased the rate per mile charged to Member Groups borrowing our Minibuses, although it remained our objective to provide a widely used and cost effective community service.
-
It is pleasing to report that both the number of Member Groups and bus journeys booked still increased and this has supported a significant increase in income from bus user contributions – the lower figure for the year ending 30[th] April 2022 also reflects the impact of Covid restrictions.
-
Ensuring there is cover for both Trustees and the Key Roles in the Charity remains a priority, however this year effective Management of the Charity has been maintained by a team of 6 Trustees and a Management Committee of 9.
-
The Trustees have reviewed the charity risk assessments and concluded that, with a few minor amendments, effective control measures remain in place to minimise risks.
-
Promotion of the weekly Day Centre has increased the number of Customers. The number of Volunteers has also increased and there was a necessary review of the team operation.
Financial Review:
-
The financial position of the charity continues to support both short term operating costs and long term bus replacement funding.
-
Our accounts have been subject to an independent financial review.
Looking Ahead:
-
The Trustees reviewed the Charity Sustainable Bus Strategy and the decision to replace a bus in 2023 was deferred until 2024 when the strategy will be reviewed again, with potential replacement dates of both buses to be considered in light of changing technology.
-
Our ongoing ability to attract Trustee, volunteers and leaders to operate the services we provide remains a key priority. This is recognised in our Risk Assessments and is a subject of regular review
The Trustees will continue to assess the Charity response to the changing demands for our services
