Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Charity is governed by a constitution adopted on 6[th] November 2019.
Recruitment and Appointment of the Committee of Management
The Management Committee is elected annually for a period of one year but may be re-elected. The Committee can have up to 12 ordinary members. The Chairperson is only allowed to remain in office for 3 years but can be reelected.
Related Parties
The Charity is guided by both local and national policy in so far as it follows the Charity’s objectives.
Objectives
The object of the CIO is: The promotion of social excluded inclusion among people who are socially exclude from society, as a result of their physical/learning disability and assisting them in integrated into society, in particular but not exclusively by:
-
a) Providing a group which enables such people to learn new skills and supports them to maximise their potential.
-
b) Providing recreational facilities and opportunities for such people.
Chair’s Report
During the year we saw the closure of ‘Connections’ that was funded and supported by Worcestershire County Council. Lindsay Raynor, who was a support worker, had to seek alternative arrangements for her client base. The Two in One Club has had a good rapport with Lindsay over the years; she recommended several prospective members who have since joined the Club.
We applied to the National Lottery Fund and were successfully awarded a grant of £10,000. This will allow us to offer an extra weekly session during 2023 that will support our less confident members.
We organised several day trips to the Severn Valley Railway, Wild Zoo Park, Weston-Super-Mare and local trips including garden centres and lunches. Again, this year we went to Kays Theatre Group’s Christmas Panto, Alice in Wonderland. What a panto, ‘oh yes it was!!
Monthly entertainment included, Drumlove a local organisation that offered an introduction to a variety of drumming traditions from West Africa, Jamaica, Brazil, India and more. Keith Slater a first class, self-contained guitarist/vocalist who specialises in providing quality music and enabled our members to join in with singing and dancing. The Zumba with Stella classes were very popular and members looked forward to the dance and fitness sessions. Weekly art and craft sessions were also extremely popular with our members. On occasions during the year, the Silk Shed craft workshop demonstrated new craft ideas to our members. Bingo and Ten Pin Bowling sessions were also organised regularly throughout the year.
Our thanks go to all our volunteers and activity workers. Special thanks to Perdiswell Young People’s Leisure Club, for the support and use of their premises to carry out our activities and events.
Public Benefit
In planning our activities for the year, the trustees kept in mind the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit. The focus on our activities remains providing activities and recreational activities for disabled people.,
Financial Review
The Charity continues to be dependent upon fees with no guaranteed income stream and this has been identified as a major risk area for the CIO continued existence.
Core Reserves Policy
The Management committee aim to accumulate sufficient restricted reserves to cover normal operating expenses for six months should funding cease. It is, however, anticipated that this reserve will be depleted on occasions such that shorter period of expenses would be covered.
Use of core reserves: -
-
To support funds, grants until expected monies are actually cleared.
-
To cover unexpected costs on a one-off basis.
-
To cover years of low funding, with expectations of replacing in the future financial years.
All decisions regarding the use of the core fund will be made by the finance committee with a minimum attendance of 3 people and a majority decision.
Trustees’ responsibilities in evaluation to the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the CIO will continue to operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts Reports Regulations 2008) and the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
