The Drop - In Centre {Rawmarsh) Trustees. Annual Report contlnued for the perlod endlng 6 Aprll 2024 Achievements and Performance There were two principal objectives for thls year, one was to continue wlth the refurbishment to update and extend the facilities offered. The other was to update improve the general Management of the Centre and put it on a better Business fooling. During the year we appointed a person to act as development worker in particular to help in the day to day running of the Cenlre, the identification of Grant funding opporiunilies and the development of formal Procedures. The main impact of the year was the move of our major lessee out of the Centre to thelr own premis8s half way through the year. Whilsl this meant the loss of a substantial annual hire incom8 It also provided opportunity for other improvements and the exlension of facilities that could be offered. sin most of Ihe furniture. cutlery etc belonged to Ihè Company moving this had all to be replaced. Grant funding was obtained for this and resulted in an upgrading of most of the Centre's eqL¢ipment. Existing Hirers were also able to extend their Office use etc. so, whilst Ihe impact on income has be&n minimal so far, the continued lrnprovement in facilities has b88n quite SLEbstantial. Future Plans Unfortunately, RMBC reported no real progress towards the Asset Transfer during the year but did renew the annual lease. Although this does give some stabilily to the situation for the coming year it does leave some unrtainlY about the future. In particular the lack of secure lenure also may have some effect on the access to grant funding. It also feeds through lo uncertainly concerning our finances, withoLrt proper knowledge of any financial impact of an Asset Transfer it is difficult to know what sort of financial reseeS are appropriate. We will continue to push RMBC in the coming year to move towards some ¢larification of the situation. Flnanclal Results In common with other charilies of a similar size and nature, the charity has limited resources and its ongoing operations are currenlly dependent on funding from grant providers, together with financial support and fundraising from corporate and individual donors. During the year the charity generated incoming resources of £52,736 {2023'. £42,161). Total exponditure during the year was £27,119 {2023- £45,515) resulting in a surplus for the year of £25,617 (2023.. deficit £3,354). Total funds al the year-end stand at £47,492 {2023: £21,874).
