Brightwells Gostrey Centre
Chairman's Report
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
This year ha5 been challenging but nevertheless the chartty has continued to provide a higlFquality seryice
to our clients at the Day Centre. The charity has diversified by introducing a grandparent and grandchildren
focused Play Group, initialty on one day but this has now expanded to hvo days ma week with parents also
attending. Client numbers have been increasing throughout the year. though sadly some are no longer with
us. Our staff have as ever. under Jess Wells leadership. been absolute￿ dedicated to providing the
day-to-day actnlities and support that our dients both for the Day Centre and the Higher Needs Group
require.
The community meals seNice has proven to be as important as ever to those who are lone￿ and isolated
in society and our volunteer drivers have been arn￿1ng in delivering the meals and providing a cheery
smile and chat to brighten the clients day..
Financial support from Waverley Borough Council is increasingly uncertain. as they no longer provide
funding for day-t<>day seNice support which underpinned the charity for so many years. Their switch to
project led fin3ncing has proven to be problematic. We are however appreciatwe of their rent and energy
fTee support through the Licence to Occupy. Famham Town Council also support us with a grant toward5
our running costs. Increasingly, the tharity has had to find ways to fundraise and to look to the private
sector in Farnham so that BGC can maintain an affordable service to our clients.
Whilst some longer serving trustees have resTgned a new cohort of trustees have joined the charity and
will no doubt bring new ideas and energy to the charity for the coming years. Thank you, trustees. staff and
volunteers. for all your hard work.
