## Annual report 2025-2026 

## Abstract: about the Deacon Centre 

We are a creative space for adults facing Physical, Learning and Communication disabilities and those who care for them. 

We provide activity sessions in Creative Writing, Art, Music and Drama for Service Users, their carers and support workers in and around the East Surrey area. 

We are a registered charity based in Caterham, Surrey and take our name from Caterham resident Joey Deacon who overcame severe disability to write a successful book. 

## Charity Operations 

Our fifth full year of operations saw the Deacon Centre run a programme of activities in line with our strategic objectives, as agreed by the charities trustees and outlined in our policy documents. 

## Trustees 

Benjamin Nunn (Chair), Uma Misir-Nunn (Executive Director), Thomas Boland (advisor) and Sarah Hadley (therapist) continued as Trustees. 

## Financial 

In the 2025-2026 financial year, our income totalled **£2366.52** . Expenses were **£2410.56** , resulting in an annual deficit of **£44.04** and a bank balance of **£20.78** as of April 5, 2026. 

We remain a very small charity, running on a financial knife-edge and highly reliant on volunteering and goodwill. Nevertheless we were able to deliver a varied and much appreciated programme throughout the year.
