Report and accounts for November 2020 to March 2022
Charity Information
The G52 Community Group, was established in 2013 to provide low cost or no-cost activities and services within Gamesley, it was originally borne from the idea that local residents are best placed in supporting each other within their own community; and especially in a world where statutory provision can sometimes be withdrawn or significantly reduced.
In 2020 responding to some of the challenges in terms of accessing funding streams we took the decision to go through the process of converting G52 from an unincorporated group to a charity.
We took the Charity Incorporated Organisation route, as the most appropriate route to gaining charitable status, without overall onerous - bureaucratic reporting requirements.
This initial report covers the period from our establishment as a charity in November 2020 to the end of the financial year in March 2022.
Future reports will be on the standard financial year of April to March.
We started the period at 1/11/2020 with £124,805 brought in from our previous operation as a constituted group.

Objects and activities of the Charity
The G52 Group was established in 2013 to provide low cost or no-cost activities and services within Gamesley. We became a Charity in November 2020.
The objects of the CIO are:
-
The prevention or relief of poverty in Gamesley by providing: grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
-
The relief of financial hardship among people living or working in Gamesley by providing such persons with goods/services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.
-
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
-
For the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically deprived community.
-
The relief of financial hardship by the provision of free legal advice and assistance to persons who, through lack of means, would otherwise be unable to obtain such advice.
Guidance on public benefit
We keep our aims, objectives and activities under constant review through our regular Trustee meetings. This report looks at what we have achieved since formally becoming a charity in November 2020. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when considering how to implement our objectives and in planning our future activities.
In the time since formally becoming a charity and the months immediately prior, we have lived in unprecedented circumstances. We have continually assessed our approach and methods of operation. This is to ensure we continue to fulfil our objectives in the absence in some cases of many statutory services, whilst safeguarding both our staff and volunteers.

How we meet our objectives
Our activities during our initial period as a charity have reflected a change with the continued impact of the Corona Virus. Many services and organisations were forced into lock-down. G52 carried on with a revised programme of activity, maintaining direct contact with people; as appropriate.
Working throughout the pandemic has given the group the chance to evaluate some of their priorities and to think of creative ways of continuing to meet our objectives despite the challenges.
Although there have been many changes made to their way of working the group have continued to provide the following (not an exhaustive list of services and support) and have even added new services to their wide range of projects:
Weekly Community Pantry – Providing fresh produce to residents; the Pantry has over 70 members who have continued to access the service throughout the pandemic albeit using a different process and have also offered the most vulnerable residents free memberships and a month of free pantry visits.
Home Meal Delivery Service – This service currently provides hot meals, twice weekly, to elderly and/or vulnerable residents. The G52 Community Connector, who delivers the meals, also conducts safe and well checks and basic shopping trips for these clients.
Family Lunch Packs – In addition to the usual Grab-A-Bag Holiday Lunch scheme, G52 has also been providing referred families with a Family Lunch Pack during the school holiday periods and throughout lock-down. It is appreciated that some families are receiving lunch vouchers via schools; there are many families who are not eligible but who may have been furloughed or have seen a reduction in hours.
Family Treat Parcels – Providing treats such as fresh fruit, popcorn, yoghurts, soft drinks and chocolate to supplement the weekly family shop.
Family Activity Packs – As part of the Extra Auntie programme (working with families and their children) activity packs have been made available to provide resources for families to be involved in creative activities together such as colouring book sets or educational activity sheets. This addresses the difficulty many families are facing with the closure of schools; meaning children are spending more time at home.
Slow Cooker Parcels – To continue using creative methods of engaging with families G52 purchased several slow cookers to distribute to families via the Extra Auntie Programme. The 'Extra –Auntie' has provided online cooking demonstrations through the G52 Facebook page and those registered have been supplied with a slow-cooker and the ingredients required to replicate the recipe.
Cleaning Packs – Packs were provided to support families with additional cleaning costs due to the Covid19 pandemic.
Resident Support Worker – A relatively newly funded role that aims to support local, single individuals who may need low level support in accessing services, completing online forms and who may be suffering from isolation and therefore are finding the lock-down restrictions difficult.
Emergency Fund – For residents experiencing extreme hardship and who require basic items at home such as a microwave or cooker, for example. Referrals are made to G52 through other professional organisations and partners.
Home Gardening Support – The G52 Community Gardening Worker has been helping residents who are struggling to maintain their garden. Usually for older residents who have had limited family support during Covid.
Fuel Bank – To support families and individuals on pre-payment meters with heating and energy costs, we worked initially in partnership with Npower to provide vouchers to enable the purchase of gas and electricity.
Community Events – Traditionally G52 worked to provide a number of large scale community events (initially badged as meet the neighbours) aimed at bringing together locals across a range of ages with different themes and organisations.
During covid and the immediate aftermath, we have not yet been able to start these large scale events, but have instead run a range of events aimed at different groups, so during the summer we ran activities for children and families every day which featured a range of event from dancing to marshal arts, to computer games along with trips out that some families would not have been able to attend without our support. The events also included food support with over 1000 people fed and entertained over the summer.
Following the return to more normal operation, our activities are focused around the following programs:
Community Pantry Community Chef / Community Connector Programme Extra Auntie Programme Resident Support G52 Fuel-Bank G52 Gardening Scheme Summer and Christmas activities
Our Achievements
For ease of reference / comparison in future years, our achievements are shown for period of April 2021 to March 2022.
Performance information for the period November 2020 to March 2021 is included with our impact report for April 2020 to March 2021.
Community Pantry – Our community pantry has provided 1536 food parcels to members. There are currently 77 residents signed up which supports approx. 245 adults and children on a weekly basis (6% of local residents) – this equates to over 9 tonnes of food produce provided via Fareshare – this equates to approx. 14.96 tonnes in CO2 savings.
Community Chef / Connector – Along with trips, well being checks, meal delivery and support to access other services, our community chef has cooked 2601 meals.
Extra Aunty Program – 19 Adults and 45 Children have received support from the extra aunty, from hands on support in a range of situations to cooking on a budget advice and family activities during school holidays.
Fuel Bank – The fuel bank has provided vouchers which have supported 61 adults and 32 children.
Resident Support Worker – Our resident support worker program has helped a range of predominately single individuals aged 50 and above with a range of support included benefit checks, energy and debt advice, support to access services. In March 2022 we have successfully bid for funding to Cadent to develop this service further with an additional post, and in the ¼ of 2022/23 the social return on investment for these two posts was £55,000.
Summer Holidays – 324 children access our summer 2021 activity program, with our grab a bad programme providing 1600 packs throughout the school holiday periods. The programme used 701.77kg of food via our Fareshare membership.
Christmas 2021 – 78 Christmas Dinners were cooked by our community chef, and 22 gifts and 17 toys were supplied to help residents with the high cost of Christmas – we also put together 105 Christmas hampers for individuals and families.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 affairs of the G52 and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the G52 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 in 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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the G52 and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the G52 and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Financial Review of the position at the reporting date 31/3/2022
The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the reporting period to have been satisfactory – the position has been increased on the previous period reflecting additional funding that has been available during Covid.
Whilst the future of the organisation is secure at current, the trustees will have a particular focus on further works to secure the sustainability of the charity going forward post Covid.
Policy on Reserves
Our aim is to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to meet our financial obligations as and when they occur.
Additionally we aim to hold sufficient funds to meet any redundancy requirements in the event of the organisation closing.
Retained reserves amounted to £16946 at the period end, which we regard as sufficient to enable us to continue, and further develop, our present level of operations.
