Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From: 1[st] January 2024 to 31[st] December 2024

Charity name: Re:Charge R&R

Charity registration number: 1168554

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference SORP reference 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 2024 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

groups are closed, and siblings up to 11 years
can come along. During 2024 we continued to
see an increase in the number of children
coming to the sessions who have had issues
socialising with other children. Re:Charge R&R
has provided a safe place for these children to
learn how to play with others. We have also
continued to attract people of different
nationalities to the sessions.
Attendance at our Thursday session at High
Street Methodist Church continued to grow
through the year. Although, the numbers
attending this session are smaller than at
Larchfield, the attendance has continued to
grow, and a presence in the town centre has
meant that we have reached clients that would
not necessarily have known about us. The fact
that this is a quieter session means that it is
more appropriate for children who can become
overwhelmed easily.
Another aim for Re:Charge R&R is to identify
from our 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. During 2024 we
employed two new session workers, one of
whom was previously a client.
Statement confirming Para 1.18 The trustees have in planning the activities for
whether the trustees have the year, reviewed the charity guidance on
had regard to the guidance public benefit at the trustee meetings. The
issued by the Charity above sets out how this has been put into
Commission on public practice with the value of our work, and
benefit
particularly when applying for grant funding.

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 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
parenting role models some parents
(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 2024 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.
During 2024 we continued to work with
Berkshire Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire

Wildlife Trust (BBOWT). An outreach worker came in for sessions in the spring and summer terms to run activities with the children and parents to encourage them to get outdoors more. The year culminated in the Christmas party, where thanks to some generous donations we were able to provide presents for all the children present.

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 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 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.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 Currently all staff have worked for us for <2
reserves years and therefore redundancy liabilities
are 0.

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.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of ReCharge R & R

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
