Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes

To further or benefit the residents of Lancashire, primarily but not exclusively those with learning disabilities or mental health issues (hereinafter referred to as ‘the beneficiaries’) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the beneficiaries by the establishment and maintenance of a community centre.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

We have reserves this year of £9,401.89. In any future active years we aim to hold at least £10k and no more than £15k in reserves at the year end. The charity’s policy on reserves is to constantly review the a/cs and the balance at bank. It is felt appropriate to have at least 3 mnths expenditure in the account, which would amount to approx £3k in an active year. Once the balance in the bank a/c falls below £4k then further fundraising activities to be organised or funding applications completed. Furthermore, fundraising activities should be constantly monitored along with funding applications, and these should both be active. Charity finance policy has been written.

Details of any deficit

No Income in the year from activities due to inactivity, and no direct operating expenses occurred, only two payments for admin expenses occurred during the ~~year~~

Donated facilities and services (if any) No services or centres have been used or utilised in the year.

Other optional information

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

There has been no fund raising this year. We rely on the local community and our local council for their continuing support.

The only expenditure in the year has been to pay any outstanding expenses and to pay for any administration to be completed. There will be no charge for annual accounts etc. for the year to 31/8/25

It is anticipated that within the next 12 months a decision will be made by the trustees as to the future direction of the charity. A decision needs to be made due to the current personal circumstances of Jo Griffith, who previously ran all activities. It is not likely that these circumstances will change in the future.

Future Plans

In July 2019 the CEO suffered a personal tragedy and unfortunately had to cease the sessions at the church hall and all charity events for the foreseeable future. Although the following is still the ethos of the charity and future events, it is unclear when these plans will recommence. It is planned that a decision for the future of the charity will be made within the next 12 months.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
