The charity is a “Charitable Incorporated Organisation” with trustees and a constitution.

We have5 trustees. (2023: 5). Trustees are selected from those who have the requisite governance skills and interpersonal skills to effect change, development, and progress.

Trustees meetings have been conducted by formal meetings normally held twice in the year.

The Charity is totally dependent on volunteer support and donations together with many entertainers, helpers and many others. We would not be able to continue without this support..

Objectives and Activities

The charitable purpose according to our foundational document is to provide regular music events in the afternoons at the weekends only. Bringing seniors and the disabled out of their care homes and residential homes by way of our own transport and minibuses, Improving the wellbeing and mental health for the isolated lonely and people with a Dementia.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes
to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, and the
relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (FRS 102).
During the year our income increased but so did our costs with net funds falling to £4,752 compared to
last year (£10,709). We have established a new Strategy to contain our expenditure increases
There are no uncertainties relating to Friends of Care Homes being a going concem as we are holding
net reserves which are adequate should there be any event which could cause a drop in income.
We have engaged a Charity Financial Adviser who is now advising us on gaining Gift Aid recognition
which will provide additional income. He is also providing systems to analyse our expenditures routinely.
