Trustees Report:
Objectives and Activities
To relieve the needs of people over 65 who live on their own and do not have any family in the area by organising social events that will help them enjoy a happier life.
Public Benefit:
The main activities undertaken are to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit and the trustees have had due regard for the Charities Commision guidance on public benefit
Achievements and Performance
2024 was a fantastic year for our events and guests, although a financial challenge to cover costs.
We have had an increase in our volunteers numbers which was great, they are the back bone of our charity and our guests great them like the family. We have also seen a steady increase in our guests, mostly from NHS referrals from the community nursing team or the falls clinic.
Financial Overview
A surplus of £3,592 has been generated in the year. Reserves of at least three month's fixed expenditure are held to cover any unforeseen costs. Current reserves of £9,537 are currently held, which exceeds the policy.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 9th August 2016 and is governed by its articles.
Method to Recruit Trustees
Trustees have been approached where it is believed they have the skills that can support the charitable objectives. We therefore have a Trustee from the business sector and a Trustee from the nursing sector. Trustees are sought when it is necessary to fill any skills gaps.
