The total deficit for the year ended 30 June 2025 was £111,632 (2024: £65,231). 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs, also to cover any unexpected major repairs necessary to the building or replacement of expensive kitchen equipment. Unrestricted funds were largely maintained at this level throughout the year. Funds are held in multiple secure accounts. Reserves remain satisfactory and the charity has sufficient funds to meet its obligations.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## **Future plans** 

It is intended that activities at the day centre will continue throughout the coming year, and the trustees and staff are always looking to provide additional activities and projects for the benefit of members. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Governing document**_ 

The charity is controlled by its governing document constituting a Charitable Incorporated Orgiansiation (CIO) registered (charity number 1178937) with the Charity Commission on 27 June 2018. 

## _**Risk management**_ 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. They have assessed the major strategic, business, and operational risks facing the charity. External risks and exposures are kept under continuous review, alongside internal health and safety considerations. Risk registers have been established and are regularly updated to ensure effective mitigation and compliance. The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the charity are outlined below: 

_Caring for those who use the centre_ - The trustees ensure that staff members are properly trained in how to manage and safeguard users of the centre, how to accept and report complaints and concerns and how to escalate these for action where necessary. 

_Damage to property, e.g. fire, lifts, heating, water_ - The trustees seek professional advice on the risks associated with running the day centre. They instal safety and monitoring equipment and ensure maintenance on a sensible and ongoing basis. A fire compliance report has been commissioned and recommendations noted, with an action plan created. 

_Building maintenance_ - As the property used for a day centre is also a Grade 2 listed building, this will always necessitate maintenance works which may at times be more expensive than for other entities. It is the trustees' intention to ensure that the beautiful building and grounds are well maintained for the future. In addition, the trustees have obtained planning permission for new toilet facilities at the centre, which they hope to build when funds allow. 

_Insurance_ - Comprehensive insurance cover has been taken out.to cover risks related to the infrastructure, staff and users of the day centre. Cover includes accidents and negligence (including medical negligence) also. 

_Information protection_ - The trustees have taken advice on the protection and management of information about those who use the centre and also concerning staff and volunteers working for the charity.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Wokingham and District Association for the Elderly (WADE)** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Wokingham and District Association for the Elderly (WADE) for the year ended 30 June 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of the report** 

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since The Wokingham and District Association for the Elderly (WADE)'s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The principal activity of the charity is to promote the welfare of the elderly in any manner which by law is deemed to be charitable and within the "Wokingham Borough Council area". This is fulfilled by providing the elderly members of the charity with day care at the charity's day centre, with activities, entertainments, transport and refreshments. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executors that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of an executor intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
