Report and accounts for April 2022 to March 2023

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supporting each other within their own community; and especially in a world where statutory provision can sometimes be withdrawn or significantly reduced.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 is our first normal report following the establishment of our charity and covers the financial year that ended in March 2023.

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 during 2022 / 2023 with 2023 also been the 10[th] Year G52 has existed. 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.

Whilst in this second report as a charity, the unprecedented circumstances of Covid have started to return to normal, we have continually assessed our approach and methods of operation. We have done this as whilst in some cases statutory services have started to return to normal, in some cases the new normal is more remote than before meaning that our in person support is still needed.

Trustee Appointment : New Trustees are appointed by the existing trustees taking regard for clause 10 (2) of the constitution.

The Charity is managed by our trustees who meet on a regular basis, our trustees are the members of the charity.

How we meet our objectives

Whilst things are returning to the new normal as opposed to the some of the restrictions in place during Covid, our activities are still reflecting that change.

As we reported in our last annual report our focus has returned to following core activities, this however is not an exhaustive list of services and support and we continue to review and consider new services or particular projects to meet our aims and objectives:

Community Pantry Community Chef / Community Connector Programme Extra Auntie Programme Resident Support Workers G52 Fuel-Bank Community Events / Summer and Christmas activities

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.

Community Chef / Community Connector Programme – 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.

Extra Auntie Programme – Our Extra-Auntie Programme has been running since 2019 and supports local families with establishing routines, meetings with social services and schools, cooking on a budget and income maximisation, housing and benefit applications and family activities during school holidays.

Our programme was designed to give hands-on support and mentoring to those families who are struggling most in our community and has provided a mix of low to high level (intensive) support

Resident Support Workers – Our two Resident Support Workers have been offering a range of support to the local community – one mainly focuses on older residents and predominately help individuals aged 50 and above. The other has a primary focus around benefits and debt work. Between them the support has included help with housing and benefit applications, benefits checks, fuel bank vouchers, dentist and doctor registration, homelessness, energy debt, energy efficiency tips, providing carbon monoxide alarms, purchasing basic household necessities such as bedding and furniture and accessing other G52 services.

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 – We have started to return to some of larger events, including hosting this year a jubilee street party, along with annual meet the neighbour day. These events are aimed at bringing together locals across a range of ages with different themes and organisations.

We have also continued with our summer holidays program, and with support from Cadent, we have been able to introduce a range of events during the winter period, aimed at helping support people with the cost of living pressures, these activities have range from small shared supper events, to large scale entertainment evenings and film nights,

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.
