## **GROVE DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **For the year ended 30 June 2022** 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Grove Day Centre for the Elderly was founded in 1988 with the objective to promote the welfare of the elderly and infirm in Grove and its surrounding areas. It achieved charity status in 1992. 

On 1 March 2019, this Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was created and on 1 March 2020, all assets, liabilities, employees, operations, and activities of Grove Day Centre for the Elderly were transferred from the Unincorporated Association Charity No 1010797 to Charity No 1182474. 

When setting objectives and planning activities the Trustees consider the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance. 

The main activities undertaken by the Charity for the public benefit include: 

- A twice weekly meeting at the Day Centre on Tuesday and Thursday, providing fellowship, a range of activities and a hot meal. 

- A Summer outing and/or annual Christmas luncheon arranged each year. 

- Assisting with making transport arrangements each week, to enable all those who wish to take part to do so. 

- The Day Centre Manager, Assistants, Cooks, Volunteers and Clients interact and have a close supportive bond. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

After reopening on 6 May 2021, following closures due to COVID-19, the Centre has continued to provide a valuable service to the local community. 

A total of 101 sessions were operated in the current financial year with a total of 940 clients attending. The average for the year of 9.3 clients per session is lower than the pre-pandemic levels of 17.4 clients per session, although numbers are increasing with an average of 10.5 clients in June 2022. 

As before the lockdown, our Volunteer helpers continue to contribute greatly towards the operation of the Day Centre, for which the Charity is very grateful.

**GROVE DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** 

## **For the year ended 30 June 2022** 

## **Financial review** 

The financial statements show a net deficit of income over expenditure for the year of £15,095. (2021: Net deficit of £21,308) 

As noted last year, the Centre re-opened following COVID-19 with reduced client numbers and increased costs. Client fees were increased to £25 per session with effect from 1 January 2022 which along with small increases in client numbers is helping to keep the deficit to a manageable number. The Trustees, Staff and Volunteers are working to promote the Centre with a plan to increase client numbers to 20 per session by 1 January 2025, at which stage the Centre will be operating at a profit. 

At the year end the Charity held £45,799 in liquid assets. (2021: £58,071). Although the Day Centre is currently operating at a loss, the Trustees are of the opinion that they have sufficient resources to enable the Charity to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. 

## **Structure, governance, and management** 

The Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was established by a constitution adopted on 17 January 2019. 

The CIO is managed by the Charity Trustees and helped by a team of dedicated volunteers. Charity Trustee meetings are held regularly during the year to which all Trustees are invited. The Day Centre Manager is also normally invited to attend. 

The first Charity Trustees were elected for a term of either 3 or 4 years. Subsequent appointments are made by resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Charity Trustees and are for a term of 3 years. 

## **Reference and administrative details** 

Grove Day Centre for the Elderly is registered with the Charity Commission (No. 1182474) and its principal office address is School Lane, Grove, Wantage, Oxon, OX12 7LB. 

The following are the names of the Charity Trustees who managed the Charity during the year ended 30 June 2022 or have been appointed up to the date on which these financial statements were approved.

**GROVE DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**For the year ended 30 June 2022** 

## **1 Basis of preparation** 

## **1.1 - Basis of accounting** 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these financial statements. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **1.2 - Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the Charity’s finances. In particular, when the  Grove Day Centre reopened in 2021 the costs were higher and client numbers lower than before the pandemic. Although numbers of clients attending are slowly increasing and fees have been increased, the Centre continues to make a loss on each session. The trustees have reviewed the financial resources and taken actions to minimise expenditure where possible and also to promote the Centre in order to attract new clients. They consider that the Charity can continue operating in the current situation and for the foreseeable future. 

## **1.3 - Change of accounting policy** 

The financial statements present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2 below. 

## **1.4 - Changes to accounting estimates** 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. 

## **1.5 - Material prior year errors** 

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 - Reconciliation with previous generally accepted accounting practice** 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required. 

## **2.2 - Income** 

## _**Recognition of income**_ 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Offsetting**_ 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 

## _**Grants and donations**_ 

Theses are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## _**Government grants**_ 

The charity has not received any government grants in the reporting period as detailed in note 3. 

## _**Volunteer help**_ 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the financial statements but is described in the trustees’ report. 

## _**Income from interest**_ 

This is included in the financial statements when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

8 



**GROVE DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **For the year ended 30 June 2022** 

## **2.3 - Expenditure and liabilities** 

## _**Liability recognition**_ 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## _**Redundancy cost**_ 

The Charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

No material item of deferred income has been included in the financial statements. 

## _**Creditors**_ 

Any creditors the Charity has have been measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## **2.4 - Assets** 

## _**Tangible fixed assets for use by charity**_ 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost more than £200. They are valued at cost. 

## _**Depreciation**_ 

Depreciation is provided on the Day Centre building and furniture at the following rates based on the estimated useful life of these fixed assets and their anticipated residual value:- 

- Leasehold Land & Buildings: 2% per annum on cost 

- Furniture, Fixtures & Fittings: 20% per annum on reducing balance 

## _**Investments**_ 

The Charity has cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year.
