FARNCOMBE DAY CENTRE LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

The Trustees operate a day and social centre for those living in the Farncombe and Godalming area. The Centre is open every weekday throughout the year. The service provided is used primarily by those over the age of 50 but is encouraging more attendance by younger users. Its main objectives are providing a nutritious mid-day meal as well as offering social activities and entertainment, and providing additional services, such as assisted bathing, chiropody, hairdressing etc. Many users would be unable to attend the Centre without transport, so the Charity operates a minibus provides individual door to door transport.

Chairman’s Report: Summary of Activities and Strategic Outlook

As we review the financial year ended 31 March 2025, Farncombe Day Centre remains a vital lifeline for our community, demonstrating resilience amidst a challenging economic landscape. Our impact this year has been substantial, with the Centre serving over 10,000 meals (combining in-house dining and our Community Meals Service) and facilitating approximately 6,100 minibus trips to ensure our most vulnerable residents remain connected and supported.

Governance and Modernization

To address the shifting funding landscape, the Trustees have taken a proactive approach to governance. We have strategically reshaped the Board through targeted recruitment, successfully bolstering the Trustee skill base with professional expertise in fundraising, marketing, and strategic communications. This enhances our capacity to move beyond reliance on statutory grants and build a diverse, sustainable income portfolio. We have also recognised the need to de risk the operations and management processes through succession planning and collaborative working. To this end we have recruited Dave Barker as Co- Chair of trustees and the executive board.

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Future Plans and Modernization: A Vision for 2030

As we approach the planned launch of our strategic expansion, the Trustees have taken a proactive and robust response to the currently challenging fundraising environment. Our vision for the Farncombe Day Centre is not merely to maintain current services, but to evolve into a resilient, multi-generational hub capable of serving Godalming’s growing population through to 2030 and beyond.

To achieve this, we have strategically reshaped our governance structure. Through targeted recruitment, we have successfully bolstered the Trustee skill base, adding vital professional capacity in fundraising, marketing, and strategic communications. This influx of expertise allows us to move beyond reliance on statutory grants and build a diverse, sustainable income portfolio utilizing the new commercial potential of the Centre.

Central to this modernization is the improved functionality of our digital presence. We are deploying a redesigned website specifically engineered to support high-level grant applications and streamline community fundraising activities. This tool will be critical in unlocking the external capital such as National Lottery Grants and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Funding required for our "Future Proofing" project.

With a targeted completion date of 2030, this capital expansion will deliver the physical infrastructure needed to support the projected 20% rise in our elderly population and the 1,240 new homes planned for our area. We move forward with a highly positive outlook, bolstered by strong, evidenced support from local Councillors’, MPs, and our partners at Godalming Town Council and Waverley Borough Council. Together, we are securing a facility that is fit for the future.

FARNCOMBE DAY CENTRE LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Grants and Fundraising

The Charity is supported by Waverley Borough Council by grant funding and the provision of premises. The 3- year Funding Agreement which commenced on 01 April 2022 provides a grant of £60,000 per annum. This grant accounts for 27% of the Charity’s running costs. The Trustees appreciate that working together with Waverley Borough Council enables the Day Centre to continue to provide its services to vulnerable members of the local community. However, towards the end of the year, the Centre was informed by Waverley Borough Council that under the next three year funding period, its annual grant would be reduced from £60,000 per year to £35,000 per year. For the first year, this has been offset by a one-off grant of £15,000 from Godalming Town Council but will continue to impact the Centre’s finances in the following years. A further threat to this source of income is the plans for Local Government Reorganisation, which will result in Waverley Borough Council ceasing to exist. This adds to the importance of broadening the Centre’s sources of income.

Godalming Town Council has also supported the Charity with a £7,500 grant to support the cost of running the minibus which is critical for transporting users to the day centre. The Charity was also successful in obtaining a National Lottery grant of £10,000 towards the increased costs of running the minibus. This grant was for two years commencing 26 July 2024 so £3,333 was recorded in the financial year ending 31 March 2025.

The Charity is also immensely grateful to have received several legacies from former clients and generous donations from various local organisations and businesses.

Financial review

The Charity recorded a net deficit of £6,230 for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: £7,437 deficit).

Total income in the year increased by £5,738 to £216,058 (2024: £210,320).

Total costs in the year increased by £4,631 to £222,288 (2024: £217,537). The largest cost for the centre is staff salaries which comprises 58% of total costs. Increased costs in the year were mainly an increase in staff salaries (£2,363 increase) due to annual pay reviews and minibus leasing costs (£2,371 increase) due to a full year of the new minibus lease.

Despite a small deficit for the last two years the charity maintains a strong reserves position. The charity aims to hold a general reserve of between 6 to 9 months of running costs to cover any unforeseen events. As of 31 March 2025, the general reserve of £163,677 represented 8.84 months of running costs. In the longer term, the Charity will need to generate a greater level of donations or income from its activities. However, the need to generate income must be balanced with the need to provide services at an affordable price for users of the Day Centre, many of whom come from the poorest parts of the Waverley Borough.

Farncombe Day Centre remains financially stable with healthy reserves. Continued support from local authorities and community partners is essential to sustain services for vulnerable residents.

Risk Management

The Trustees prepare a formal Budget each year which enables them to identify significant factors and risks that Farncombe Day Centre is likely to face in the coming period. In addition, the Trustees review regularly the main operational risks to ensure the smooth functioning of its activities. The Trustees have identified and reviewed the risks to which the Charity is exposed and have appropriate controls in place.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Farncombe Day Centre Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Farncombe Day Centre, St John's Street, Farncombe, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 3EJ.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

FARNCOMBE DAY CENTRE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment

20% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

FARNCOMBE DAY CENTRE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

7 Expenditure on charitable activities

(Continued)

The Community Meals and Day Centre use the same premises and staff to prepare all meals. Community Meals are delivered hot on sealed trays in insulated bags by Volunteers who are reimbursed for mileage driven. Although not shown separately in the accounts, an allocation of 46% of charitable activity expenditure to the Community Meal Service is considered reasonable. This is calculated based on the percentage split of charitable activity income generated by the Community Meal Service.
