social events and make friends. Meals on Wheels Meals on Wheels

This is a bespoke Service taking individual dietary requirements into consideration. It supports a wider audience of vulnerable people who are unable to get out, and those who can’t or don’t wish to cook. It also caters for those recovering from illness, hospital stays and to individuals who would like to have a hot meal during the day so that they do not have to cook in the evening. Tuesday Lunch & Entertainment These Clubs are aimed at our more-able clients. Lunch is provided on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Tuesday of the month, followed by quizzes and/or bingo.

On the 4[th] Tuesday of the month we have afternoon tea with entertainment which is very popular. During 2023-2024 we started some additional social group activities. We continued to offer these activities during the spring and summer of 2024. Both activities were very popular with our keen gardeners and budding cooks. It is designed for those who need to learn how to cook for one, after losing a loved one, or who find themselves now living alone. We re-introduced our cooking sessions in March 2025 and once again the course is attracting a lot of interest.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

Grants & Financial Support for Services during 2024-2025 We wish to thank the following organisations who provided financial support for our core services without whose financial assistance and help we would not have been able to continue to run our Services. Age UK Berkshire Centrica Heathrow Community Trust Louis Baylis Charitable Trust RBWM Neighbourly Charitable Trust. Slough Borough Council Tesco Volunteers and Staff The families have entrusted their loved ones into our care and it is extremely important that they have an enjoyable time with us. This could not be achieved if it wasn’t for the time given by our staff and volunteers. The Trustees are extremely grateful for the many hours that our volunteers and staff invest in the Charity. They are key in ensuring that the Charity continues to deliver its aims and goals. We were sad to say ‘goodbye’ to two long standing members of staff during 2024. They both contributed an enormous amount to the Charity and will be missed. We have however been very fortunate and have been able to replace them with two very keen members of staff. A new chef and new activity manager. We welcome both to our small team.

Also a big thank you to those who help deliver our meals, rain or shine, directly to the doors of our clients. We also thank our befrienders who make regular phone calls to those who are unable to get out of the house and those who have been in hospital and need a friendly voice to talk to. Not all volunteers are customer facing and we also wish to thank the volunteers who work in the background on administration, websites, and those who give their time to tidy up the office and storerooms.

Our local connections to business and other charities has ensured a steady flow of support and help. We are extremely grateful to the numbers of employer supported volunteers and groups such as Abri, GoodGym and Centrica who come and help tidy our gardens and paint our walls, making the Centre more inviting and welcoming.

Fund Raising

It is crucial that we continue to fund raise on a regular basis and the wish to express our gratitude for the time and commitment from our staff and volunteers who have organised events throughout the year that are both financially beneficial to the charity but also personally rewarding to all involved.

A special thank you to the members of the Soroptimist International of Slough Windsor & Maidenhead who give their time freely on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Tuesdays of the month, and who also help run and organise fund raising activities such as making teas, manning the tombola, and bottle stalls.

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Day Service (DS) attracts people over 70, who have additional care needs due to mobility/dementia or frailty, who live alone or with a Carer. Attending the Centre gives the clients the opportunity to socialise and partake in a variety of different activities to help with their mental and physical wellbeing. The service also provides a break for the live-in Carers who are in need of some respite.

We cater to those who have extra care needs and/or those with early stage dementia that benefit from the social interaction and activities we provide. Clients are supported and cared for in a friendly environment by our staff and volunteers. While we look after the most vulnerable in our society we also provide well needed respite to their Carers.

We organise physical activities that focus on maintaining core strength and fitness to help reduce falls, improve balance, and help the clients stay fitter and healthier for longer. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own level. Daily exercises help to ensure that our clients are able to maintain independent living in their own home.

The focus of our daily activities is on reducing the feelings of isolation, increasing participation, building a sense of achievement and purpose for each client. The activities include arts and craft, quizzes, puzzles, colouring books, reflecting on current affairs.

Our Activities and Celebrations during the year

Halloween Activities

We encourage interaction with younger adults including placements from Eton College and Berkshire College of Agriculture Health and Social Care NVQ to achieve the same results of interaction with younger adults.

Page | 8

The communication through body language, facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice between the participants, and the buzz of the interaction between the older and younger generations shows the effect this has on the thoughts feelings, and attitudes of, and even behaviour of, those attending this group.

We also bring into the Centre professional entertainers to many of our social activities. This provides fun days of interaction with entertainers that are welcomed by both clients and the Carers.

Fund Raising Activities and Fun at Christmas

In December we started the party early on the 3rd December by having the U3A Ukulele band entertaining us with Christmas tunes, and songs. Our DS clientele sang along to Elvis.

Friday the 6th December and on Sunday the 8th December everyone enjoyed a full Christmas Sunday Lunch.

On Tuesday 10th we all enjoyed a Brass Band ensemble playing Christmas Carols. We also served mince pies, nibbles with a Sherry for the non-drivers. On 17th December we had another social lunch with a Christmas Quiz.

Finally on Friday 20th December we entertained, clients, carers, and guests, with a three course Christmas roast Turkey Dinner and all the trimmings, followed by Christmas entertainment in the afternoon. This was topped by visit from The Mayor of Windsor.

Xmas Carols Music and dancing

We encourage all clients and their Carers and friends who would like to join in the fun.

Page | 10

Our Social Clubs are managed by a member of staff and run by a team of volunteers. These activities are in shorter 1-3 hour sessions at an affordable price so that we remain inclusive to all in the area. We aim at attracting more able older people who are on their own and who need to interact and socialise more.

Our Tuesday Lunch Club is open twice a month. It is a bespoke service that is tailored towards the needs of the clientele, as some of our attendees have special dietary needs, making this service unique in the area. We follow lunch with either a quiz or bingo session. In addition once a month we provide afternoon tea with tunes. This is very popular now attracting an audience wider afield than Windsor.

ACW encourage independent living but this means that the elderly can become lonely if they live alone. They need to socialise more. Our Social group activities attract older people who may be isolated, living alone, or who only have a small social network. It also attracts those in need of support.

Attendees are looking for company and someone to share experiences with. They find it difficult to get out and meet people and so we provide a safe environment for them to mix with other people.

We encourage anyone in the area to come to our Centre to meet and have fun. To drop in for tea, cakes, lunch and a chat. This Group helps people make friends and helps them to talk to others in a similar situation to themselves. We have volunteers who come along to mix, to listen, to sing along with our entertainers, and to facilitate conversation, with the overall aim of promoting friendship and support networks in the local area.

Our Centre has now become a hub for those who want to socialise and meet others in a friendly and safe environment.

We celebrated St Georges Day, waving flags, and Ascot week by sharing a PIMS and eating strawberries. We love to have entertainers come and sing old favourites to us where we can dance along. We also celebrated Valentine’s Day with entertainment followed by a special lunch.

We had a couple of special outings to brighten up a gloomy start to 2025 where we enjoyed an afternoon tea, in February, curtesy of InterSystems in Windsor; and we decided one Tuesday afternoon, when the sun was shining, to have an outing on the bus and take the ladies out for coffee and cake in Windsor.

Cooking For One course.

We realised that since many of our clients are living alone, and some recently bereaved, we decided to introduce a six week cooking course ‘Cooking for One’ in January 2024 and continued througput the summer of 2024. This was organised in conjunction with Adult Learning. The course covered topics such as portion sizing, adapting recipes for one, money saving ideas as well as helping you cook six different healthy two

Page | 12

course meals that the particiants enjoyed eating together at the end of the session.

During the sessions there was plenty of time to talk about ways to make cooking easier. We teach how to chop vegetables safely, and if our cleints are unable to chop vegetables then we explain how frozen is as good as fresh. The particpants were taught how to batch cook and how to utilize their freezers. They also had an opportunity to take receipes home.

This course was very popular and so we have now introduced a new activity on a Tuesday ‘Cooking with Trevor’ our new chef.

Tabletop Gardening

Another initiative during the year was to introduce tabletop gardening for those less mobile. Gardening is so good for your emotional well-being. Getting in touch with the living world can feel great. The gardening group was held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. It was open to anyone over 55 who loves gardening. It is based on tables. No bending, kneeling or lifting and participants grow plants from seed, they plant bulbs in pots, repot plants, make bee and insect hotels and discuss other gardening related projects as a group.

Sunday Lunch

We continue to offer our monthly Sunday Lunch which is very popular. It is open to anyone over 55 and their Carers. We serve a three course roast dinner.

Sunday Lunch Club attracts people who are living alone, many who do not have family living close by. Most who attend say they are looking for company and a good proportion have some health conditions that mean they struggle to get out and see people. Many would also not cook a roast dinner for themselves at the weekend.

We are extremely grateful to our volunteers who provide transport to and from the Centre on Sundays as it means that more elderly people can now come along to this popular activity and socialise at the weekend when they are normally at home alone.

Page | 13

Four days a week we provide a fresh cooked, hot, two course meal to local residents of Windsor and the surrounding area. The contact with our friendly volunteers is seen as a bonus by clients who say how helpful, kind and considerate they are. It is delivered by a team of 16 dedicated volunteers managed by our Deputy Manager.

The service supports clients who can’t or won’t cook for themselves, those coming out of hospital and those with short term illness/ infirmity as it is an easy way to get a healthy balanced meal. Many have very specific dietary requirements and so we have designed this service to be a bespoke service that is tailored to the individual needs. It especially helps support the more fussy eaters. The wholesome food has been seen to improve the diet.

This service can be set up by the clients but it is more common to be requested, set up by family members who feel that it would be helpful for their loved ones to have a hot meal delivered during the week. They are concerned that their family member isn’t eating properly during the week, or has a poor or limited diet due to their inability to cook.

MOW provides a welcome face to face contact on a regular basis for older people who do not get out much. We are there to provide support for any help that is needed. We carry out a visual health check at the front door and monitor the clients’ physical wellbeing, and their mental attitude. When we feel that further more professional help is needed we notify the relevant authorities such as Social Services or the GP if we feel that there are issues in the household. The service also helps reduce the stress on the Carers and potentially reduces the amount of worry about whether their loved ones are eating well and looking after themselves.

We encourage independent living however this means that our clients are frequently on their own and have few opportunities for social

Page | 14

engagement.

The Befriending Service is offered to older people and their Carers regardless of age although we primarily deal with those who are over 55.

The weekly contact enables the volunteers to encourage and support as well as notice any changes that might be cause for concern.

We currently support long term clients who do not have the ability to get out and see friends and family.

We monitor the health and wellbeing of the clients, both physical, and mental. We are able to determine if there is a change in behaviour. If we identify a problem in the household we notify the relevant authorities.

We provide support and offer a hand of friendship and help reduce feelings of isolation.

The feedback we have received is that our clients are happier and more active and feel better from talking about things.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the

The Trustees maintain three separate reserves for the future benefit of the Charity:-

charity’s policy on reserves

Repairs and Maintenance Reserve of £5,388 to cover unexpected capital expenditure on the upkeep and replacement of the internal and external fixtures and fittings in the Spencer Denney Centre (SDC).
Minivan Fund of £27,108 which will be added to annually from fund raising activities in order to replace our 17 year old minivan which we estimate will cost £65,000.
Business Continuity Reserve of £35,000 to cover at least three months costs.

It is our intention to use these reserves for unexpected and also planned expenditure throughout the year if and when required. We also intend to build upon the reserves as and when activities allow.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Not applicable

Further financial review details (Optional information)

In order to provide our services in the local community we relied heavily on a contract from RBWM Council. This provided some financial stability and helped us with the planning of our future. This contract wasn’t renewed in April 2024 due to the financial position of the Council. We have always been aware that the council may withdraw support and so we established a contingency fund of £35,000 to provide financial stability to cover such an eventuality.

We are pleased to announce that with effect from 1[st] September 2024 ACW entered into a 3 year memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Age UK Berkshire (AUKB) under which AUKB will provide funding to replace the shortfall resulting from withdrawal of the RBWM Service Contract. This enabled us to continue providing the essential services for the elderly in the Windsor area.

Our clients pay a daily fee which covers some of the daily costs to run the Centre. We continue to keep the fees low to remain inclusive so that more elderly people can attend our activities. We introduced low cost activities to help support those on lower incomes. RBWM paid us a small grant to administer the household support fund to encourage those who are really struggling to get financial help.

In the past the Trustees, the staff and the volunteers, have all introduced ways to raise funds through table top sales, selling items on social websites, quiz nights, and on-line donations/giving.

The Trustees are extremely grateful to the generous donations, and legacies, from our supporters and Grantees this year. We are also extremely grateful to the organisations for their time and generosity in helping the Centre.

Section F Other optional information

Programme for the upkeep of the facilities and building:

The SDC is owned by the Council but it is the responsibility of the Trustees to maintain the building under the terms of a 15 year peppercorn lease expiring on 17th October 2037. The Trustees have agreed on a rolling programme to improve the facilities over the next five years through fund raising, corporate partnership, and volunteers. This programme is reviewed regularly at our monthly Trustee meetings.

Our rental income helps towards minor repairs that can assist us in the maintenance and upkeep of the building. We rely heavily on the support of local organisations to help with the upkeep of the building.

For larger projects we look towards obtaining capital Grants. We continually review the health and safety aspects of the building and the site. We look at ways to improve the energy efficiency of the building and ways to modernise both internally and externally. Our next phase is to ensure that disabled access and facilities, which are key to the needs of our clients, are improved, modernised and fit for purpose.

We can only continue running our services with the help of other organisations, through Grants, donations, or volunteer work.

Future plans:

Additional services:

With a growing number of older people living alone in our area we continually review the services that are available in Windsor and surrounding towns. We canvas older people to give us input to the types of service they are seeking. We introduced new groups in 2024 such as ‘cooking for one’ courses, with the help of Slough Borough Council, and our own initiative the ‘gardening club’. We have decided to restart the cooking for one classes with our new chef leading the way.

We have a few fund raisers organised for 2025/2026: Saturday Bruch commencing in May, Quiz Nights, Christmas Carols and Wreath making. We wish to advertise our new chef and introduce special afternoon teas.

We are planning to create a café in our lounge to have regular people drop-in for a coffee and run activities such as knit and natter, crochet, painting, play board games and just chat.

Local trips and theatre trips:

We had several trips outside the centre during 2024-2025 which were enjoyed immensely by our clients. We will continue to look to find suitable outside events, and trips, such as the afternoon tea hosted by InterSystems at Windsor Racecourse this year.

We wish to have more trips to the theatre or shopping. To do this we hope to link up with groups of volunteers to give one to one support to our clients and make use of local community transport providers People2Places who were instrumental in providing additional transport.

MOW and Befriending:

The Trustees feel that these services have been very successful since their introduction. We plan to continue to provide both services for the foreseeable future.

Social Groups & Other Services:

We are considering introductions to new services with an emphasis on men’s groups and ethnic minorities. We wish to expand upon our Social activities by providing additional services such as providing information, scam awareness, online safety, fire awareness, and also other activities

Page | 17

suggested from our client base or from the general public. We have partnered with Age UK Berkshire to provide this support.

We experimented with a Saturday brunch in May 2025 that was extremely well received.

Handyperson Service:

We introduced a handyperson service in April 2025 with the help of Age UK Berkshire who are currently managing the administration of the service. This service gives us an insight as to what is available to the local elderly community and how we can assist and tailor future activities to meet the need in the area.

Volunteer / Staff Training:

The Trustees are always looking at ways to upskill the staff and volunteers and ourselves to ensure that the services we provide will meet the needs of the local community. This will be delivered through making use of the websites and training material that is provided by relevant external organisations. We will also use Age UK Berkshire to assist in providing suitable guidance on available courses.

New Minibus:

The Charity desperately need to replace our minivan, which is now 17 years old. It has broken down several times during 2024-2025. We need to raise capital to do this and so we are actively looking at funding through grants and fund raising activities.

Trustees:

Amy Lawrence decided to step down as Trustee in March 2025 for personal reasons. We thank her for her time and support. We will be looking to replace Amy in the coming year. We have always considered having six Trustees with relevant skills to help run the Charity.
