TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Objectives and Activities

Our charities purpose is to engage with the most vulnerable, isolated and lonely people in the community, to support them to take full advantage of the opportunities and inclusive pathway that will lead them to a place of greater security, improved wellbeing and hope.

We run a befriending service, where we provide companionship to people in need. We have set up a local hub where people can come and meet others, get involved in the many activities that we give. I.e. Gardening, sowing, game boards, musical afternoons, and a pick up and drop off service.

Having regard to the commission’s guidance on the public benefit, our charity trustees are aware of the guidance set forward.

The elderly and disabled charitable trust UK expects any investments managers, as part of our normal investments research and analysis process. Ro take into account social environmental and ethical considerations in the selection. Retention and realisation of investments. The investment managers will ensure that they follow the charities policy on social responsible investments.

More over the charity considers that effective management of the risks associated with social, environmental and ethical matters cam lead to long term financial benefits. Our charity has a commitment to ensuring that funds in which it may invest adopt a high ethical standards and responsible attitudes towards the environment. Our charity does not invest in other organisations with high exposure to activities which are deemed hazardous to health and injury. Community, cohesion, or contribute to the development and maintenance to poverty. The abuse of children and the use of torture in organisations that are clearly subsidiaries, or closely linked to the organisations described, issues raised should include.

ENVIRONMENT - The quality of the environmental policies and reporting, our efficient use of resources, or any pollution convictions we may have.

WORK PLACE - Our approaches to equal opportunities, health and safety and people welfare.

COMMUNITY - Our involvement and impact in local communities in the local area. The extent of and nature of charitable donations and significance of any advertising complaints.

To date we have 6 great volunteers who usually assist us when we need to promote the charity, in the way of distributing leaflets and engaging with our beneficiaries.

Monthly Car boot sales are done by our volunteers. When the weather permits.

Achievements and Performance

Our key objective was to stay open for the sake of our beneficiaries ensuring that they get easy to access support. We are proud to say that we were able to still give the support throughout the pandemic, answering calls to help our beneficiaries. Whilst being open for business it has also meant transforming our approach to online guidance, ensuring it meets the needs of our busy trustees and volunteers. For example we have had to broaden our purposes in the local area and surrounding, we have had to say goodbye to the dream of helping those in Jamaica. As well as trying to get it right with the trustees, we made a collective decision to remove a trustee. following we asked the commission to move our mailing address back to the original until we were able to get some type of premises.

We have partnered with other groups to help prevent wrong doing and to assist us to move forward. The skills and attitudes of our staff will make the biggest difference. To the end we will set out a clear vision for the future of this charity, how and where we will work, how we support and develop our beneficiaries, and what we want the culture and ethos to be. Our main achievement this year is securing a Grant from the national community lottery of £9950 which we received in December of 2021. Equipment needed to start our project i.e. Mini bus .This grant enabled us to purchase the necessary. We are also in competition with two other charities, Tesco grants community thriving fund, which we have recently been informed, we will be promoted throughout all Tesco’s stores in the region from April 2022 to June 2022. .we also changed the charities name in April to reflect our extended purposes.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

This year we approached many services for a space to work from, which has been very difficult, many business had started to work from home, increasing rents and rising petrol, reminded us that when we made a budget we needed to forecast precisely, as the grant we went for from the lottery was not enough, but to be able to secure it was not easy, but we are truly grateful. We rented a space for three months only, originally for six months. We had no choice but to discontinue any other arrangement with church due to improper doing by the people who run the service area. We have continued to work with the beneficiaries from the comfort of their home until we find suitable premises. Our aim is to get the people active and informed. Problems arose with the accountant, we had to engage another as accounts were not done in the time frame needed.

We held a mini event in August 2021 at Bannister sports centre in Harrow, were we invited the mayor of Harrow to our event, very well presented day. Our charity raised £109 on the day. We had some rain but great day for promoting. We have collection boxes in 4 business throughout London. Fundraising on a whole has been very slow, we have had to discuss on many occasions different ways of fund raising, the trustees came together and suggested that we should begin to invest in equipment that other charities can use, to hire, going green, collecting metal items to turn into cash.

We are on most media pages, and has gone well, despite the current situation were most people are having to work from home. Our charity has joined the Brent lottery, unity lottery to help us bring in more donations. Funds have been coming in but at a much slower rate. The economy and the cost of living has risen tremendously, petrol prices have trebled in the last year too. Planning ahead has seen many changes. Last September the trustees got together to plan a big fundraising event in the local park, scheduled for the 24th July 2022. We will continue to plan for this occasion.

The charity changed their name from Jamaican elderly disabled charitable trust/UK to The elderly and disabled charitable trust UK to reflect diversity in a bigger way, the public viewed us as Jamaican and we wanted to reflect the whole community and ethnicity to reflect our main purpose, which is to provide help for all.

Financial Review

THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED CHARITABLE TRUST UK has created a reserve policy in the interest of our charity. It has a set out of rules that we have signed to and adhere too. They held in the interest that we get substantial amount of money.

The way that people engage is now so affected by technology, people working from home, online forms, which means we are missing a generation to engage volunteers face to face and we have to be more proactive. We believe what we need to do is clearly identify a small number of stats that could really make a difference to the health of our charity. The elderly and disabled charitable trust UK by its very nature are subjected to national changes in Government policy as well as locally political decisions. Our Charity has identified this as a risk as this may mean initiatives and activities supported by our charity are no longer delivered, we regularly meet with one another to understand the changes we are facing. As trustees we have an opportunity to discuss matters of common concern and exchange information make partnerships, experiences, join together with others to lobby Government departments and to participate in conferences and seminars which offer support to our Trustees.

Donations, personal funds we had a small fundraising event in August 2021 Bannister sports centre top promote the charity in which the Mayor of Harrow attended.

The charity changed their name from Jamaican elderly disabled charitable trust/UK to The elderly and disabled charitable trust UK to reflect diversity in a bigger way, the public viewed us as Jamaican and we wanted to reflect the whole community and ethnicity to reflect our main purpose, which is to provide help for all.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

A Description of the Principal Risks Facing the Charity

A Decline in Funding and Donations

As Fundraising is the most important source of income right now for our charity. Which means that a down turn in the economy can pose a great risk to our charity. A reduction in either funding or fundraising can pose a massive threat to our charity, this is why we decided to look at other ways, taking into consideration the Global Pandemic. We understand we would have to be more diverse and ready to make changes.

Loss Data

Our own human error could be the greatest danger for our charity, a loss memory stick or a laptop could put significant amount of confidential information at risk, as new will be holding sensitive and confidential information, our charity will seek to delegate one of the trustees to deal with IT, as we have already considered the cost it would incur should we lose the data. We will ensure all data is backed up and install remote wiping software on charity devices which will help to manage these risk.

Fraud

Trustees who work full time and too tired to fulfil all duties required. Raising funds has been very difficult. Although we have had restricted funding, our charity will need to apply for capital and revenue cost.

We received £9,950 in December 2021 from The National Lottery and £500 from Little Magic Grants in May 2021.

Structure, Governance and Management

Potential Trustees will be recruited through, recommendation, referral from a recruiting agency, council, voluntary sector, selfreferral, advertisement following skill audit identifying gaps. Potential trustees will be given an overview of the charity, background information and invited to meet a minimum of three trustees from the organisation. Subsequently after meeting with the members of the board, they will ascertain the following information:

• New trustees will be asked to fill a questionnaire given prospective trustee with an opportunity to find out more, then decide if they are suitable for the role.

• Prospective trustees will be asked to sign a declaration of interest form to be retained by the board. Agree and sign two copies of the code of conduct, one to be retained by the charity. The other to A role description outlines the duties of the trustees and a person specification details the experience and qualities needed to fulfil the role. Trustees are expected to attend all meetings set by our trust Board meetings are held 2 or 4 times a year, where team meetings every six weeks. Each meeting can last up to 3 hours, and usually held in the evenings. Meeting agenda provided by email usually five days before the meeting with a hard copy used during meeting. Occasionally meetings are usually held for board development. Reimbursement of Expenses Trustees can claim reasonable out of pocket expenses in relation to travelling and other expenses i.e. refreshments Under the terms of The Elderly and Disabled Charitable Trust, UK, Governing Document Trustees will be NOT be paid for carrying out their duties on behalf of the charity.

Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)

A CIO is the newest legal form for a charity and is specifically designed for charities. It is incorporated and regulated solely by the Charity Commission which avoids the need for duplicate filings. It is governed by a constitution, the form of which is prescribed by the Charity Commission. A CIO benefits from the fact that its members have limited liability and it has its own legal personality providing the trustees with a certain level of protection. A downside to this structure is that it is new and relatively untried, which could pose potential problems when the charity seeks finance from financial institutions which may be unfamiliar with this structure. The Trust does not work with anyone outside the Charity, we are a collective of four Trustees and we make Joint decisions.

We have created association with an elderly domino hub. Our charity has been given space at the Bridge Park hub NW10. Our future plans are to go out there and collect all unwanted items and turn them into cash, raising money in a different way. Have an online shop where people can hire equipment, such as disability equipment.

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

15. RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

16. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.
