Friends of Fairford & Lechlade Communities
for the Year Ended 31st December 2023
## Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **Linked Charity**
The Trustees have established this Charity as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation to deliver all the services that were being provided by The League of Friends of Fairford Hospital Charity (Registration number 1006416). The full transition from The League of Friends of Fairford Hospital to the Friends of Fairford & Lechlade Communities has not been completed so two statutory sets of accounts will be produced, one for each Charity, together with an informal set of consolidated accounts. The consolidated accounts will show the full financial picture of expenditure and income.
The two Charities have the same trustees on the Management Committee and hold formal joint meetings. The Trustees continue to provide the charitable services and benefits to the community as if it was one organisation.
In 2023 the Trustees continued re-establishing the services that had been curtailed or suspended due to Covid 19.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Community Friends is a community-based charity and is run by volunteers.
The objects of the Community Friends, as set out in its governing documents are as follows:
- the advancement of health including mental health for all persons in the area of benefit,
- the relief of those in need because of age, ill health or disability within the area of benefit by the provision and/or funding of medical and healthcare services
- the relief of those in need because of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage within the area of benefit including providing or funding palliative care, respite care, lunch clubs, mobility assistance, counselling and other health related support.
The Charity is focused on the local community serving and supporting the people who live in Fairford, Lechlade and the surrounding villages.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance in exercising its powers and duties.
All the activities focus on providing health related and wellbeing support to the people living or working within the local community either by providing direct support to individuals and families in need or by supporting community organisations that are essential for the wellbeing and sustainability of the community. Some of the activities during the year are included in the section below.

## Report of the Trustees
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Grantmaking**
Grants are made for Family Funding Support aimed at funding health care support and short term respite care needs for families and carers of all ages. This can typically range from funding additional hours at specialist centres for children and young adults to short term respite care for carers.
Grants are also made to local health organisations and towards medical equipment for use in the area. A funding Committee considers each application to ensure that they are compatible with the Friend's objectives for the residents in its region.

## Report of the Trustees
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
## **Patient Transport & Prescription Collection Service**
The patient transport service carried out an amazing 1,001 drives which exceeded last year's figure of 996 drives.
We currently have 26 volunteers based over Fairford, Lechlade and the villages. We are ever so grateful to our volunteer drivers for being so willing and able to fulfil all requests we get.
Our free prescription collection service is working well and is proving to be much needed in the community. We now have over 20 patients that we deliver prescriptions to.
## **Nursing Team**
In 2023 the Nursing team saw 33 patients, the majority of which were end of life. This was a mixture of morning and evening visits for personal care, sits to relieve carers and 9-hour night care sessions.
Referrals come from District nurses, the Frailty team and the Prospect Hospice team. We sometimes share the care of our patients with the Prospect Hospice at Home team, Longfield Hospice and CHC funded agencies. This usually works well with our nurses doing as much as possible.
The nursing managers continue to attend monthly meeting with other hospice at home providers which allows great support for them and us. These include Sue Ryder, Longfield, Great Oaks and Camden Home nursing managers. The nursing team continues to hold regular meetings as well as attend relevant training sessions.
## **Bereavement Café**
The Bereavement Café continues to grow from strength to strength with the leadership of Celia and the nursing team. There are usually 10 regular members with at least 1 or 2 new people each month. It is lovely to see the group supporting each other in between cafes as this was always the hope. The whatsapp group is a great form of communication for attendees which provides support and comfort to many. The café has also been used as a centre to develop other ideas that members are taking on themselves to combat loneliness and lifestyle for people who now find themselves living alone, for example, a lady has offered cookery lessons based on cooking for one which 4 or 5 people are keen to join.
## **Edna Dawes Lunch Club**
The Wednesday club has been reinstated and in 2023 we held 43 sessions. Each session had an average of 9 to 12 members and 4 to 6 volunteers. In total we provided the service for 374 members, supported by 170 volunteers and transported 281members. Members pay £10 per session. Volunteers are not charged but are able to give a donation if they wish. The Charity has not been asked to fund any member to date.
We are working on getting the Monday club back up and running as well.

## Report of the Trustees
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Fundraising activities**
## **Charity Shop**
The shop is still receiving a huge amount of donations and we continue to work on trying to increase footfall into the shop by facebook and social media posts showing people what we have for sale.
There are currently 9 shop volunteers.
## **Events and Fundraising**
We are so lucky to have a team of volunteers who work to make our fund raising events such a success. A huge thank you goes to Margaret Purch for all her help with the Open Gardens.
The events held during 2023 generated the following income for the charity:
|||£|
|---|---|---|
|House to House||17,099|
|Open Gardens|- Langford|292|
||- Quenington|1,173|
||- Lechlade|695|
|Quiz night||1,087|
|Cheese & Wine evening||1,070|
|Calendar sales||1,557|
We run a 100 Club and our thanks go to Jeff Dawson for his tireless work running this for the charity.
We also have income from monthly donors, our Charity Christmas Card sales (our thanks to Ruth Berridge for organising the Christmas Card sales each year) and the donation charity pots located around the area.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Total income for 2023 is £119,754 (2022: £143,274) with total expenditure of £190,060 (2022: £164,796) giving the Community Friends a deficit of £70,306 (2022: deficit of £21,522) for the year.
Total unrestricted funds stand at a deficit of £68,188 (2022: deficit £23,407); surplus £6,792 (2022: £6,792) of this is designated as Covid-19 Community Support Funding.
Accounts are prepared for both sister Charities and submitted to the Charity Commission, but are summarised together for the purposes of the AGM and fundraising. Full accounts for each Charity are available on our website - www.friendsoffairford.org.uk. Total income for both Charities was £143,905 (2022: £197,500). The total deficit for both Charities after losses on investments of £930 (2022: loss of £16,307) was £66,380 (2022: £36,070).
## **Investment policy and objectives**
Due to stock market uncertainty and the Committee's wish to maintain ready liquidity the general policy is not to hold investments for a long term objective but to place them in deposits and near cash instruments.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees feel that total unrestricted reserves across both sister Charities of £429,858 (2022: £470,713) is sufficient to meet its obligations for two years is the optimum amount to hold and while the two sister charities together are in a loss-making situation, which the Trustees are working to resolve.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Friends of Fairford & Lechlade Communities
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Friends of Fairford & Lechlade Communities**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Fairford & Lechlade Communities (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 in respect of the Trust 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 applicable 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.
