ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE CHARrrABLE AcfiviTIES Since the end of the pandemic there has been a realisation of the damage and dangers of social isolation and lonelinesswithin the community, this has resulted in a significant increase in demand for the service whlch in turn identified a need to reevaluate the existlng service delivery and its capacity. The limited space at our location had led usto put constraints on the numbers of people that we could support on any one day which was a maximum of 22 causing US to turn people away who were In genuine need of our support. Our staff had begun to look for alternative locations within the current delivery area which met the needs of the centre i.e. Catering facility, Disabled access, an office, a garden, and most importantly space to grow. A bullding was eventually identified which needed modernisation. This was owned by a local church and was within 1.5 miles of our previous location. After several meetings and discussions with the church PCC an agreement was reached'giving benefrt to the local community and our charity and we initiated the process of relocation which was completed in September 2023. Overall, the move has been very successful for the charty and its members and In conjunction with the church we have developed a renovation program to update and develop the site. The transfer to the new facility was conducted entirely by the staff team whilst not affecting servSce delivery or its members. Thls caused significant pressure on members of staff who responded positively and showed a persoDal commitment to ensure that the setvice and the people it supports thrive. In recognition the charity has decided to look at guidelines on pay rates from the real living wage foundation as we wish to not onlyto provide a fairand affordable service to our users but also provide our staff with a fair wage based on living costs. Throughout the move the demand for the service has been unprecedented and wlth the support of funders we have purchased a range of equipment to meet the increase i.e. armchairs etc. The increase in numbers has meant a review of staff numbers for Care, Catering and Administration and a recruitment program has been commenced which while supporting the charity will also provide employment opportunities in the local communlty. We were contacted in December 2023 by another charity lookln8 for our support as thelr board of trustees had decided to reorganise their business and close their day centre in the city. After discussions with their management, we agreed to assist them as their charitable objectives aligned closely with ours. A further consideration was that with the closure of their centre one side of the city would be left wtthout any day care provision. We worked with this charity assessing the possibility of taking overtheir existing facility alongside our existlng operation however after receiving financial information from them it became apparent that doing this would put our existing service at risk and this we were not prepared to do. We had agreed earlier in the discussions that whatever the outcome we would offer their members the opportunity
to transfer to our service if they wanted to. We also put our recrultment process on hold and agreed to interview any staff being made redundant by the closure. At the end of 2023 we had managed to secure pledges of approximately £30,000 towards the cost of new minibus. We commenced the process of looking for a replacement for our bus in January 2024 this is proving difficult finding a vehicle that meets our needs however we are in discussions with several dealerships around the country. We see the new financial year as an exciting time of growth for the charity with many opportunities from site development in our new home to providing a wider reaching service covering all areas of the There is genulne excitement and desire within the whole team both staff and Trustees regarding the future of the charlty and the services that it could provide for the older generatlon of Coventry. Throughout the year we have been conscious that we needed to replace a trustee who resigned in February 2023 but were not prepared to rush this process as finding the right person was our objective. It is with pleasure that we can announce that we have now recruited Miss Gayle Cox who has extensive financial knowledge which will add greatly to the runnin8 of the charity.

FINANaAL REVIEW The chariWs trustees endeavourto maintain funds equal to the plus side of a yearfs expenditure. We try to maintain a high level of reSee to ensure that the charity has sufficient funds to carry out its aims. We have had an increase in day care income of £26,566. During the year the charlty generated donatlons of £60,333 compared wlth £26,850 in the prevlous year. Thanks to the generosity of funders the Centre has been able to move premises and re-equip to enable it to make the transition for existing clients seamless and welcome new clients. The long-term aim of the charity is to increase the percentage of our income from day care to offset the natural decrease in funding- this is still our intention. RESERVES It was agreed that the charlty would aim to hold 3 months general running costs. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS One of our maln challenges in the coming year is to update ourtransport capabilty. We will also seek to ensure that all staff are fully updated within their existing roles. The opportunity to extend the service will also be a consideration enablin8 US to provide support to more service users.
