## Queensbury Support Centre
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
The relief of elderly people living in Queensbury, Bradford and the surrounding area through the provision of day care facilities for those who have need by reason of their age or infirmity for the care, recreation and physical and mental well-being of such persons.
## **The charity's main activities**
Running a day centre from Tuesday to Thursday for elderly people in Queensbury and surrounding areas.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance**
Queensbury Support Centre has been in existence for over 25 years. In that time, other than when closed for scheduled holidays or extreme weather, the centre has succeeded in staying open without a break. – until this last year.
On Thursday 19th March 2020, the trustees took the decision to close the centre until we were certain there was no threat to the wellbeing of our clients, volunteers or staff.
Our expectation was that we would be open again by summer. We were not to know how traumatic the following year would be.
The vulnerability, through age, infirmity or other reasons, has meant that the trustees have been limited in how they have been able to provide any service. Their only contact with clients and volunteers has been by regular telephone calls.
The Government Job Retention Scheme, together with our good financial position before closing, has meant that we have been able to retain our staff in anticipation of being able to re-open in the coming summer time.
We are confident that our funds are sufficient for us to operate throughout 2021 to 2022. Plans have been made in readiness for re-opening the centre and we look forward to being back, supplying the social care we are committed to provide, as soon as we are advised it is safe and appropriate for us to do so.
## **Financial review**
The net payments for the year were £9,511, including net payments of £10,011 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £500 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £40,596.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Queensbury Support Centre Charitable Incorporated Organisation ('the CIO')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
