ALEXANDRA HOUSE OF JOY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE ITAR ENDED 31 JANUIIRY 202S
The trustee5 piesent their report and financial statements for tbe year ended 315anuary 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accouttting principles set out iti n(rte I to the accounts and ¢on]ply with the
charitys gtrverning dOCu￿t￿l the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Clwities.. Statement of Recornmended
Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the FinancÉal Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of £relalld (FRS102) (effective l Janu9ry 2015)"
OBJECTIVES AND AcrtVlTIES
Objectives and activities
As stated in our Constitution. our objectives are 'to build a purpose built butlding which will have tIEe facilities to provide senices
to adults witb profound le￿Illg digtbilities. This will include a respite care service for short breaks, a day t1￿C suppart centre, and
essential end of life bospice services. We wtll aLso offer opportunities for employment for adults with leaming dtsabilities with tbe
facilities as appropriate.
With the ￿0Willg reduction in social care fundsng and the provision of services, it h&$ become evident that tbe burden or providing
primgry c￿e to those in need has fallen on the parellts of those effected by i profound learnEng disability. It is now common for
tlderly parents to continue providing prirnary care services well into the adult years of some of those affecied which affe¢ts their
lives as well. With the anucTpated increase in population in Bicester and the sumTrundEng areas il is i]npuridut to provide services
alld support to those caTers who are finding it diffiLidt to cope witb the requirements of providing care.
The trustee8 have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Cbarity Commissiort in deciding what activities the charity should
undertake, attd in plaEJning our activities for the year we have kept in tnEnd the Charity ConiD]isgion's guidance on public benefit and
we have worked with all people. TegaTdless of I￿￿80￿al background. faitll gender or circumstances.
We have au inelusive equality alld diversity poli¢y in place, wel¢oming all peopl¢ r¢gardl¢ss of their b￿kground ra¢¢, fait
gellder. P¢Tsonal circuDlStaJ¢e6 or disabtliti¢s.
Durillg the past 12 the trustees have reviewed the oiiginal objectives of tbe clwity and due to tbe continuillg increases in
Costs associated with the constNction of any buiLding, the trnstees have decided to phase the totalproject into 3 elements. 'L'his will
enable the constrLtction for phase one to start sooner with the aim to commence thi's phase in 2026. The first phase on construction
bas an antieipated build cost of £lrnillion aDd the charity is close to haying tbe fi]11 fi￿dS available by the end of the next fU￿ncl2[
ACUIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We continue to rnn various fundraising eventg throughout tbe year with the support of the locaI community becoming more involved
ill helping to rL￿ the evellts. This continues to geneiating fillther illterest in the cEwity alkd the fi￿draISing requirements thES year.
We continue to use the n)arket stall to sell donated goods and fiuther raise awareness across Oxfordshire by also attending several
otber events as well.
During the year we haye used several fundraising consultants and a Marketing employee to help pronN)te tbe charity and to mthe
applications to the relevallt grant foR]Ddations ￿qth tbe new phased project status. The additional costs have been fimded in part
through increased grants received in the year.
We have received some help &nd support from loc*J busiDe&ses who colltillue to support us with filndraising evellts either through
direct fimdfaised on their pren)ises OI throu8b donation of prizes to be used at one of aur own fillm1r￿sl￿g events.
The trustee board meets regularly where possibl¢, aDd there is a good balance of skills aud experience, which enables to board to
continue to promote the Alexandra House of Joy and ensure it continue8 to move forward with its obj¢ctiv¢s.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
FINANCL4L REVIEW
Our sources of fi￿d5 co￿¢ fro￿ private individuals, futtdraising actiiitie6 where possible and grants. The Ch￿￿ty currently has
Minim￿ nu)ning costs mainly regard to the costs &sociated with running our fLmdraising events and rent for the stor&ge
faLilities for donated items. The remaining income is being retained for professionat fees a￿o¢Rated with the planning applications
and future build ¢o$ts.
The trustees ￿Onitor expenditure as it is incU￿ed to ensure it is jwtified aTLd rea$onLble and Ére only incurred if they help us the
proJJote the cliarity and its objectiv￿.
Our income of £66,499 bas exceeded our exp¢nditure by £40,067. Income is from a variety of sources inclUdi￿g donations, ￿allts
and ￿ndraiSIng activities.
We hold cash at bajjk resetves of £923,578, of which £375 is restricted. The ullrestricted fimds are being held to fund the
anti¢ipat¢d profe8sÉonai costs a￿OCiated with the plallDing applications being Jnadt in the current year, and fiLture build Costs of the
eentre. The restricted fmds are being held to purchase IT equipment in the current year under the tem)s of the gtant.
As the charity has no regular or long term committed ruTJning costs, all unrestricted funds which have rLOt be¢n de￿8￿&ted for a
speeifLC use should be maintained ID the bank account ready for fees and costs ￿0¢Eated with the planlling apphc&tion as they arise.
The trustees have a5s¢ssed the mLjor risks to thqjich the clmrtty is exposed. and are satisfied that the systen)s are in place to ￿ltigate
exposure to major risks.
PLMS FOR THE VUTURK
Wc eontinue to make applications for as appropriate and we have also started engagtng other cbaritkes in the
county that al80 provide services simllar to ours to get a better understanding of the financillg requirements so that we can update
our original feasibility study as appropriate.
Th¢ trust¢es are in the Process of f￿alls]ng the long terni lease for the land on which the building will be constrtLtte4 and tben will
see fjnal planning approv81 for phase l of construction as alieady designed with the aim to start con8tru¢tion in 2026.
We believe that firther raising the profile of the Alexandra Hous¢ of Joy with tbe local cou)￿ullIty and surrounding area during the
next 12 montbs is tssential to belp r&ise fimds for the anucipated build costs. We will there continue to attend events aad
presentations. promote our A￿draiSIng activities alld look for further opportutiiues tt> develop contacts to enable the ￿510n of
Alexalldra House of Joy to co￿£ io fmition.
