Our charity couldn’t function without the support of our 35 volunteers who have a variety of roles. These include, drivers, activity helpers, setting-up and clearing away, kitchen help, befriending and hosting coffee mornings.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.
Our volunteers are an enthusiastic group of people, who are committed to helping people have a fun and socially interactive day and thus increasing wellbeing. Living in a very rural area, with no transport links in the village, transport is essential and our drivers are indispensable to helping people get to and from the clubs.
Last year, the managers and volunteers kept in regular contact with each other through emails, phone calls and Whatsapp messages. Spirits were kept up with funny items, videos and poetry. This helped all the volunteers to feel connected and it was important to keep in touch so that we were ready to reopen with our full complement of helpers when we were allowed to.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Our main achievements throughout the past year have been in Summary of the main reinventing our services to meet the needs of our members, carers, staff achievements of the charity and volunteers when we couldn’t meet in a club setting. during the year Volunteers from both clubs kept in regular contact with all members/carers through telephone calls, letter writing and support when needed. The Manager of the TN22 Club posted out a monthly newsletter keeping everyone up-to-date with news and interesting/informative articles. The Manager of the TN22 Plus club worked with DSES to deliver individual garden visits to dementia members/carers for a socially distanced musical session, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We also worked with Wishing Well Music for Health and they came and gave music recitals in the local park and in people’s gardens. We hope this will happen again this year. To cheer people up, both clubs delivered some wrapped flowering plants from our Donations budget. We were also successful in receiving Care Packages grants, which we used for purchasing useful gifts for dementia support and to cheer up the carers. When the autumn came and garden visits weren’t possible, a few of our dementia members participated in Zoom singing sessions, again with the manager and DSES. When we were open theTN22 Plus club supported around 12 clients per session, which in turn supported their carers. This offers respite from their caring role whilst also offering stimulating activities for dementia clients. Each club session had either some outside entertainment, a therapeutic activity or themed event, which keeps the sessions fresh, stimulating and topical. TN22 Club – in normal times have around 28 members on average attending the club, which helps combat social isolation and loneliness for older people. However, last year the village hall permitted a maximum of 20 people per session, so we had to split the club into two, meaning that people had fewer sessions.

Section E Financial review
Restricted reserves are represented by funds that are received for a Brief statement of the specific project or purpose. We ensure that these funds are restricted for charity’s policy on reserves the use according to the funding agreements of donors’ instructions by accounting them in a separate spreadsheet.
Unrestricted reserves are made up of the charity’s activities for generating funds, and other donations which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees to achieve the objectives of the charity. The Trustees have determined that the appropriate level of reserves to be held for non-earmarked expenditure should equate to 20% of total funds to provide sufficient working capital to cover delays in the spending and receipt of grants and to provide a cushion for unexpected emergencies.
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the level and use of reserves is monitored. They will do this through the receipt of financial reports prepared by the Treasurer.
