Report and accounts for April 2024 to March 2025

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supporting each other within their own community; and especially in a world where statutory provision can sometimes be withdrawn or significantly reduced.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 Annual Report following the establishment of our charity and covers the financial year that ended in March 2025.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 2024 / 2025. 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.

During this reporting period we have continued to assess our approach and methods of operation. We continue to do 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.

Structure, Governance and Management

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 reg ular basis, our trustees are the members of the charity.

Our governing instrument is the CIO foundation constitution.

Trustees Annual Report for April 2024 to March 2025

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 — 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 continued our delivery service towards those who are less mobile and are unable to visit the pantry.

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 predominantly helps 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 — Our Community Connector continues to provide a valuable service of arranging trips, well-being checks, meal delivery and support to access other services.

Fuel bank – The fuel bank has provided vouchers and continues to support families. We also included advice on energy saving, provision of blankets and advice on savings.

Resident Support Worker — Our resident support worker program has helped a range of predominantly single individuals aged 50 and above with a range of support including 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. The success of these posts can be measured by the social return on investment figure calculated by our funders which is expected to match or surpass that of E75, 000 per quarter reported last year.

Spring I Summer Holidays - Children and families accessed our summer activity program, with our grab a bag programme providing approximately 200 packs throughout the school holiday periods.
