Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
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
This year has been a year of rebuilding the charity, following the devastation that was COVID-19 where the number of elderly clients was reduced significantly. We are just coming up to our first anniversary in our new premises which have proven to be a great success as they are much more suited to our purpose. After 28 years in operation the proof that we are still needed in the community perhaps even more than ever is evident; we have had numerous referrals from doctors, social workers, social prescribers, friends and family etc. We have recovered to 70% attendance and hope to continue this recovery in numbers. Funding as ever is an issue but we have had some success and feel confident for the future.
Financial review
The net payments for the year were £7,809 all relating to unrestricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £38,128.
The charity does not have a reserves policy.

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 2023, 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 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.
