## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From:** 1[st] January 2022 to 31[st] December 2022 **Charity name:** Re:Charge R&R **Charity registration number:** 1168554 ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote social inclusion for the public
benefit by preventing people from becoming
socially excluded, relieving the needs of those
people who are socially excluded and assisting
them to integrate into society, in particular but
not exclusively by the provision of a drop-in
facility and linked services. For the purpose of
this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being
excluded from society, or parts of society, as a
result of one of more of the following factors:
unemployment; financial hardship; youth or
old age; ill health (physical or mental);
substance abuse or dependency including
alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the
grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin,
religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or
gender re-assignment; poor educational or
skills attainment; relationship and family
breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that
does not meet basic habitable standards; crime
(either as a victim of crime or as an offender
rehabilitatinginto society).| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|**Family Support Sessions**
During 2022 we continued to run our family
drop-in-sessions at Larchfield Community
Centre on a Tuesday. The aim is to offer a safe,
friendly environment, to build relationships
with local families who feel isolated, fear
authority and are in emotional poverty.
Re:Charge R&R wants to empower clients to
make good choices with regards to
relationships, finances, drug & alcohol, and
also to target training and counselling places
for them where relevant.
Any family/parent, whatever age their children,
is welcome to attend the drop-in sessions. We
open duringthe school holidays,when other| **----- Start of picture text -----**
groups are closed, and siblings up to 11 years
can come along. During 2022 we saw an
increase in the number of children coming to
the sessions who have had issues socialising
with other children, mainly as a result of
lockdown. Re:Charge R&R has provided a safe
place for these children to learn how to play
with others. We have also seen an increase in
the number of people of different nationalities
attending the sessions.
Following an increase in demand at our
Larchfield session, in March 2022 we opened a
second session running on a Thursday at High
Street Methodist Church. Although, the
numbers attending this session are smaller
than at Larchfield, the attendance has grown
steadily throughout the year, and a presence in
the town centre has meant that we have
reached clients that would not necessarily have
known about out.
Another aim for Re:Charge R&R is to identify
from their customers future leaders from local
areas, to take on the running of the drop-in
centres, while offering ongoing nurturing,
training and mentoring. We hope the staff will
also gain valuable skills and experience
themselves whilst working for the charity. We
want to offer an investment of hope for the
people from the community.
Re:Focus – Adult Session
We started 2022 running our Wednesday
session for adults using a blended approach of
zoom and face-to-face sessions based at the
Quaker meeting house.
At these sessions, we provided support with a
listening ear, are non-judgemental, value and
respect each individual, connect individuals
and link them into the community, as well as
sign post to other relevant agencies and
charities, including mutual aid groups (the 12
steps) i.e. referrals to our local foodbank.
However, attendance at these sessions
reduced, with only 2 people regularly attending
by the summer. The trustees therefore took
the difficult decision to close this session in
October 2022 and to focus on our core
activities of supporting families.
Statement confirming Para 1.18 The trustees have in planning the activities for
whether the trustees have the year, reviewed the charity guidance on

whole.|Para 1.20|**Family Support Sessions**
Our aim is to go into the community to build
long-term relationships with the families, to
approach any delicate situations with them and
look at solutions to bring positive outcomes for
individuals and their children. We provide a
safe and non-judgmental environment for our
customers, to enable them to reach their best
potential and give on going, long term and
sustainable support, particularly for parenting,
when needed. During term time the people
who attend Re:Charge Family sessions usually
bring pre-school age children with them. For
some of our families this maybe the only
opportunity the children have in the week to
interact with children other than their siblings.
Children at our sessions always have play and
story time. We want to offer opportunities for
parents to explore how to spend time
interacting with their children and allowing in
some cases for children to experience different
creative activities that might otherwise not be
available to them. Possibly, due to their own
parentingrole models someparents| (particularly young mums) don’t know how to read to their children, or to interact with, or offer educational/creative activities, to their children. Re:Charge R&R give parents the opportunity to be able to understand why this is important for a child to grow and develop. During 2022 there was been an increase in requests for help with providing food as people have struggled financially. We have continued to work in close contact with the Maidenhead Foodshare to ensure food poverty has not been an added concern for our families. Foodshare have attended sessions at Larchfield during the school holidays as part of their holiday hunger project and provided all the families with a healthy, nutritious lunch. The year culminated in the Christmas party, where thanks to some generous donations we were able to provide presents for all the children present. Some quotes from our clients in 2022 include: “You've really been my life line. I look forward to every session knowing that you are there for us. You understand me and my son. You let me talk about the issues and any concerns I have without judgement.” “You have always been there for me and my family. There have been days when I have felt so down I didn't want to be here anymore but knowing you were open and that I could just come and talk with you has saved me on many occasions. You have also supported me through my ADHD struggles suggesting strategies to help. Thank you” “I just saw your sign and came into one of your sessions. I was at the end of my tether with the two charges I have and you welcomed me and helped me. The first session I was in floods of tears but you gave me a coffee and time to collect my thoughts whilst assisting with the children. From then onwards you became key in my life helping me to look after the two boys who both have significant issues and being friendly faces supporting me to deal with the very tricky ‘au-pair’ conditions I was living in. I will never forget your kindness and support as I go back to my country. You made me continuing to stay until the end of my contract possible, otherwise I would have gone home well before my contract had ended and what would have happened to the children.” “I would just like to say that we come to recharge because it’s a wonderful atmosphere, the staff are amazing and made myself and my daughter feel very welcome. I have made new friends and my daughter really enjoys herself. She gets to play with other children and get the interaction that she has missed out on due to covid. It helps me feel a little more normal and helps with my mental health being able to interact with such lovely people.” ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

Review of the charity’s Para 1.21
financial position at the end
of the period
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 Re:Charge R&R like many similar organisations
policy for holding reserves works with a small staff on very low costs. It
stating why they are held has rightly to meet all the requirements of
being a registered charity as well as the
employment, safeguarding and health and
safety requirements. As the accounts show,
Re:Charge R&R has no long term core funding
and basically has to be run on short term
grants. It is of concern to the Trustees that we
are not able to put aside any funds for reserves
as would be good practice. The challenge for
the coming year is therefore to secure a more
sustainable income for our work and to
establish a small reserve. The trustees are
monitoring the cash flow with monthly
forecasts.

The financial statement was approved by the Trustees on 2[nd] October 2023 and were signed on their behalf by Chair 3 Charity registration no. 1168554 **RE:CHARGE R&R** ## **Notes (forming part of the financial statements)** ## **1. Accounting policies** The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items, which are considered material in relation to the financial statements of RE:CHARGE R&R. ## **Basis of preparation** The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE102) 2015 applicable in the UK and in accordance with the ‘true and fair override’ provision contained therein. RE:CHARGE R&R meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s) below. ## **Recognition of incoming resources** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources; the Trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Incoming resources with related expenditure** Expenditure directly relating to incoming resources has been netted against the receipt with the exception of Fundraising Income and expenditure which are shown separately in the SoFA. ## **Tax reclaimable on gifts and donations** These are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. ## **VAT** Since the Charity is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers. ## **Donated services and facilities** No allowance has been made in the SoFA for donated services and facilities which are considered immaterial for the period. ## **Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees annual report. ## **Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. ## **Fixed assets** RE:CHARGE R&R possessed no fixed assets during the period covered by the SoFA. ## **2. Trustees Remuneration** No Trustee received any remuneration from the charity during the accounting period. 4 **RE:CHARGE R&R** Charity registration no. 1168554 **3.
