Report and accounts for April 2023 to March 2024
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supporting each other within their own community; and especially in a world where statutory provision can sometimes be withdrawn or significantly reduced.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 second normal report following the establishment of our charity and covers the financial year that ended in March 2024.

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 2023 / 2024. 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 third report as a charity, the impact of Covid is now minimal, we have continually assessed our approach and methods of operation. We have done this as, in some cases the new normal for some of the statutory services working in the area is more remote than before meaning that our in person support is still needed.

How we meet our objectives
As we reported in our last annual report we continue to focus on the 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 Pantry – Providing fresh produce to residents; the Pantry has over 75 members who have continued to access the service throughout this reporting period. Using a different process and we have continued to offer the most vulnerable residents free memberships and a month of free pantry visits. We have also commenced a delivery service towards those who are unable to visit the pantry due to mobility issues.
Community Connector Programme – This service currently provides hot meals, 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 supported 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 This programme has now been merged with the Community Connector Programme and continues to support a wide range of families.
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. This continues to be a well-used and needed service for those most vulnerable.
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.
Our Achievements
Further information on our achievements and performance is available in our impact report.
Community Connector – Along with trips, well-being checks, meal delivery and support to access other services, our community connector continues to provide this valuable service.
In addition to our older person community connector our family Community Connector has worked with individual families and children to alleviate specific problems they have come up against ranging 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 and continues to support families. This formed part of our Winter Warmer Programme which included advice on energy saving, provision of blankets, hot water bottles etc.
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 2023 we successfully bid for funding to Cadent to develop this service further with an additional post, and in the period 023/24 the social return on investment for these two posts was averaged at £75,000 per quarter.
Spring / Summer Holidays –Children and families accessed our summer activity program, with our grab a bag programme providing 200 packs throughout the school holiday periods.
Christmas 2023 – 140 Christmas Dinners were cooked by our community chef and distributed by our other staff and volunteers. 198 gifts and toys were supplied to help residents with the high cost of Christmas – we also put together 65 Christmas hampers for individuals and families, along with providing 80 Tesco vouchers worth £2100.
Cadent Winter Warmer Program
In autumn 2022 we were approached by the Cadent Foundation (currently funding our Resident Support Workers) to increase our activities and resident support during the winter period. The programme included family activities and provided energy efficiency measures to support people during the winter period and especially those who were struggling with fuel costs.
A total funding pot of £16,000 was granted to G52 for project overheads, additional staffing costs, activities, food voucher and energy efficiency measures. The range of items and or items distributed engaged 657 residents / contacts.

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.

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the reporting period to have been satisfactory – Whilst in some cases the number of funding opportunities have reduced since Covid we have continued working with a number of existing partners including strengthening our relationship with Cadent.
We continue to review the future of the organisation to main sustainability, and in addition to staff changing reported in our previous report, our operations have been kept under review with further changes taking place to review staffing in the immediate period following the end of this report.
We have also reviewed and have taken the opportunity to hold more of our funds in an interest bearing account.
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 £16987 (£16987 at 31/3/24) at the period end, which we regard as sufficient to enable us to continue, and further develop, our present level of operations.
