## **Jigsaw Events CIO** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** **Year ended 31[st] March 2025** ## **Jigsaw Events CIO** Charity reference and administration details Year ended 31[st] March 2025 Charity registration number 1178363 Charity’s principal address Langley Park Lodge 34 Langley High Street Oldbury West Midlands B69 4SL Trustees who manage the charity Mrs M Goodwin - Chair Mr N Hale Ms A Hurst ` **Jigsaw Events CIO** ## **Structure, governance and management** Jigsaw Events CIO is a registered charity in England and Wales under reference 1178363. The first trustees were appointed on the formation of the Charity. At the first annual meeting of the members of the Charity, all the trustees retired from office in accordance with the constitution and were unanimously re-elected. At subsequent annual meetings one third of the trustees shall retire from office. An AGM was held on 7[th] February 2025 at which Ms A Hurst retired from office. Ms Hurst indicated that she wished to stand again and she was unanimously re-elected. ## **Objectives and activities** The charity’s objectives are to provide social and leisure opportunities for the benefit of people living in the Black Country and Birmingham, in particular but not exclusively: people with a learning disability; those experiencing social exclusion; or other difficult circumstances, with the object of increasing their social networks, promoting independence and increasing community inclusion. It does this through delivering a programme of regular and one-off social and leisure activities that our members request. ## **Achievements and performance** We are pleased to advise that we were able to increase the number of events which we held this year. Activities included day trips to the seaside and other attractions, regular walks, cinema and theatre visits, meals out, craft activities, gardening, live music and sports. Further details are available on our website. The Charity has also provided advocacy support and other assistance to individual members with learning disabilities. ## **Jigsaw Events CIO** In September 2024 we moved to a new base at Langley Park Lodge. We believe that this move has benefitted the Charity as it is more convenient for our members and it has provided us with additional facilities which we can use for their benefit. We have also taken steps to increase our contacts with other charitable organisations within Sandwell and the surrounding area with a view to increasing the number of people we support and promoting mutual assistance. ## **Financial review** The Charity obtains its funds from grant income, together with some fundraising and smaller donations. The previous grant which we obtained from the National Lottery under the Reaching Communities provisions, has now been spent. A further grant was obtained in the year for the period up to 31[st] December 2024 from the Inclusive Communities fund. Shortly before the year end, we received further funding from the National Lottery under the Awards for All provisions. This award relates to the year ended 31[st] March 2026. We believe these funds, together with other smaller donations and grants, should enable the Charity to operate successfully until at least 31[st] March 2026. The Charity is exploring additional funding for future years. ## **Declaration** The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees Jigsaw Events CIO Signature..........
