Following this decision and personal disagreerTients the previous Chairman, together wtth onè of the existing Trustees resigned. following which after a short hiatus Heather Penwarden agreed to become a Trustee and the Trustees are as previously shown. During the period of negotiation. the existing Licence expired as al the 30 August 2023 and we had been holding over under the terms of that Licence, and paying the Licen fee reserved. The Secretary had become uneasy with this situation ar had stsggested that a fomial extension should be applied for to protect the Trust while negotiations were ongoing. An initial offer was made on behalf of Devon County Council and negotiations were entered into following the appointment of the new Board of Trustees. There is. in consequence provisional Agreement for a new Licence lo njn for a pertod of 5 years from 1 April 2025.
HonOft 55+ CIO Charity number 1188796 Report of the trusteès For the year ended 31 March 2025 Objectives and activities (continued) We have, provided. as well as care and meals various fvnctions, in house such as musical entertainment, provided by professional musicians. and speaal seasonal functions. In addition we were also able to provide oulings at the request of some of our clients to the ten pin bowling centre at Exeter. We apply rigorous safeguarding care for our staff and cli8nts. We ensure that all staff on appointment attend a course in care and handling of clients and subsequent refresher courses on an annual basis, whsch we are often able lo organise at our offices lo reduce expense. As a matter of good working practise. including our working relationship with Devon County Council we ensure that all necessary documentation to regulate our business and make checks are always in place. One of our Trustees holds a regular meeting with the clients, where the staff are excluded, and they are invited lo make any comments they wish as lo the service provided for them. In every case they have indicated their approval of the kindness and care received from the staff, and their appreciation of the meats provided. During the year we started to use the Renault Kangoo to transport clients and successfully applied for a Permit under section 19 of the Transport Act 1985 which allows us lo make charges for the journey. We are currently seeking a replament slightly larger vehicle. We decided to change our Accountants. Our previous Accountants were previously based in Honilon and had been of great help during our fomiation and over the years. In recent years their Head Office moved to Exeter and we were unable lo get the personal seTvice of recent years. We have now appointed Weslcotts of Queens House. 44, New Street. Honilon EX14 1 BJ. Achievements and performance We have managed to mainlain the seNice on a sound fooling whtch is well appreciated and as well as funding various treats and oulin9s for our clients we have managed to repay our staff for their loyalty and expertise with fegulai revièws to offset the rising cost of living. One former member of staff did claim for wrongful dismissal on the grounds of sex discrimination. which we defended, but did not attend the telephone conference with the Industrial Tribunal. and the indications are that this will not be proeded with. We have also managed to maintain a slable financial situation as appears from the financial review and did not incur any substantial unplanned expenditure during the year. Financial review During the year, the Charity received total income of £142.102 12024.. £136,280} and had tol81 costs of £149,092 12024-. £129,008), giving a deficit of £6.990.

Plans ft>r thtr futurn We anticipale maintain the existing business. bul would also. given the opportunity like lo expand to add an extra day.
