**Keyworth & District Community Concern** **Registered Charity Number 1166637** ## **Trustees’ annual report for the period:** ## **Start date: 1st May 2023 End date: 30[th] April 2024** ## **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:** - Moved forward on our strategy of replacing our older bus and having two buses of different age profiles, by placing an order for one new bus. - Applied to the Lottery Community Fund to part fund the new bus purchase, and were delighted to be recognised and rewarded as a Group helping our Community thrive. - Reinforced our intention to provide a good value Community bus service by maintaining the current rate we charge Member Groups for borrowing our buses despite rising operating costs. - Managed a significant increase in bus usage. In twelve months our buses were used by more than 90 local groups, carrying over 4,000 passengers on 345 different journeys. - Supported other local Groups & Charities by promoting their services through artwork on the outside of one bus. - Continued to provide a much needed Tuesday Club service to many elderly local inhabitants. New customers are being sought following the withdrawal of attendees from a local Care Home. - Extended our monthly fundraising scheme by introducing the 125 Club. This generates important income, alongside the many generous donations received from local Groups & Individuals. - Reviewed the risks associated with all our areas of work, and actions have been taken or planned to address any notable issues ## **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. For the period of this review the charity reported a surplus of £7,098 and net assets stand at £101, 675 ## **Looking Ahead:** - Attracting new Trustees, Leaders, and Volunteers remains a key priority if we are to maintain the level and quality of our Community work. The Trustees will continue to assess the Charity response to the changing demands for our services **Registered Charity Number 1166637** ## **Keyworth & District Community Concern** **Registered Address:** 1 Belvedere Close, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5JF **Trustees:** Andrew Tuckwell, Eddie Pettipher, Margaret Eggleston, David Culpan, Kevin Walden, Ian Machan **Structure:** The Charity is managed by a committee that meets approximately every month.
