Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022
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
The last year presented the Centre with a number of extraordinary challenges, mainly caused by the Covid pandemic. At the beginning of the year our three-day per week day care service was cancelled because of the Covid crisis.
During the whole of the close down period, our volunteers and trustees maintained regular contact with the centre clients, mainly by telephone and conversations through open windows at their homes. The minibus was used to deliver shopping and meals, which had been provided by Queensbury Community Project.
We are grateful to Queensbury Tesco and Co-op for their donations of Christmas gifts which, again, were distributed under strict isolation rules.
The Furlough scheme ensured we were able to retain our staff who, though not able to be directly involved, did provide advice and information throughout the period.
We began the year with a healthy bank balance but early in 2022 the drain on the Centre finances was such that our staff were warned of the possibility of redundancy. This, thanks to the last-minute support of Northern Trains Ltd. with their generous donation of £25,000, did not prove to be necessary and we are now in a strong position to continue providing our service throughout the coming year.
My thanks go to our clients, staff, volunteers and all traders and organisations who have helped us to weather the storm and survive to continue serving our local community. We now look forward to another year serving and building on our experience over the last and previous 26 years.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £5,341, including net receipts of £5,341 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £0 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £45,937.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Queensbury Support Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
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.
