NOT HOME ALONE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS
Trustees Report:
Objectives and Activities
Not Home Alone’s purpose is to reduce isolation and loneliness among older and vulnerable residents. We do this by providing inclusive social events, transport support, and opportunities for connection that help people feel valued, welcomed, and part of their
it The trustees confirm that all activities undertaken during the year were carried out in line with the charity’s aims and provide clear public benefit, in accordance with Charity Commission
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
Although small in size, Not Home Alone continued to deliver meaningful impact throughout the year.
• We held 4 social events, including the main event on Christmas Day, and including afternoon teas, seasonal gatherings, and community meet-ups designed to be warm, accessible, and uplifting.
-
Attendance remained strong, with many guests sharing that these events are a vital source
-
of companionship and confidence.
-
We expanded our volunteer driver team, enabling more guests with mobility challenges to
-
attend safely and comfortably.
-
We strengthened relationships with local venues, community partners, and supporters who
help us keep events free to our guests.
- We continued to champion inclusion across the borough, ensuring that people who often
feel overlooked are actively welcomed and celebrated.
Our volunteers remain central to everything we do. Their kindness, reliability, and generosity make each event possible.
Financial Overview
A deficit of £6,912 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 £2,625 are currently held.
The charity’s expenditure exceeded income during the year due to the continued delivery of regular social events, transport support, and community activities. The trustees are satisfied that this was appropriate and manageable given the charity’s strong reserves position.
Income was generated through small grants, donations, fundraising activities, and contributions at events. Expenditure related mainly to venue hire, refreshments, transport support, and essential operational costs.
The trustees are confident that the charity’s financial position remains secure and appropriate for its size and activities

Structure, Governance and Management
Not Home Alone is governed by a volunteer board of trustees who meet regularly to oversee the charity’s activities, finances, and direction. Decisions are made collectively, and all trustees share responsibility for ensuring the charity is run safely, legally, and in the best interests of its beneficiaries. The charity has no paid staff. All activities are delivered by volunteers who give their time freely.
Plans for the future
Looking ahead to 2026, the charity aims to:
-
Grow the volunteer driver team to support more guests
-
Increase the variety of inclusive social events
-
Strengthen partnerships with local organisations
-
Continue raising awareness of isolation and loneliness in the borough
-
Maintain financial sustainability through small grants and community fundraising
