Terry's Day Care Limited

Trustees report (including directors' report)

For the Period ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charity's objectives are to provide relief of elderly persons from experiencing social isolation or who may be affected by chronic disease and life limiting illnesses by providing a day care facility to offer support, information and respite care for such persons and their families and carers.

Public benefit

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Review and Decision to close

Despite efforts to secure sustainable funding and navigate the complexities of the current economic climate, while monitoring the financial position of the charity, the Trustees agreed that Terry’s Place could no longer be run on a sustainable basis during the year. The Trustees made the difficult decision to close the charity and the day care centre closed its doors on 2[nd] August 2024.

The charity continued its commitment to the charity’s core objectives until the closure in August, including signposting visitors and carers to alternative service providers, where available.

Despite these challenges, the charity has been able to successfully conclude its operations in an orderly manner and with care and diligence. The Trustees ensured that all assets were appropriately dealt with and that beneficiaries and stakeholders were kept informed of the closure. The Trustees have worked closely with regulators and legal advisors to ensure the closure was managed in compliance with all relevant legal requirements, including notifying the Charity Commission. The Trustees will continue to follow any relevant processes to complete the formal dissolution of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

The charity was established with a legacy of £200,000 from Terence (Terry) John Senn, to provide a facility for elderly people to socialise and receive respite care on a non residential basis. A further £50,000 was received in the year to December 2023. The legacy enabled the charity to secure the lease of a property to operate from, invest in initial equipment and cover the required salary costs to ensure beneficiaries received the care they needed from the outset.

The charity has a number of private individuals who contributed a total of £37,940 (2023 - £51,637) towards their respite care on a subsidised basis.

Gifts, grants and fundraising yielded a further £38,547 (2023 - £74,319).

Despite the closure, the Trustees and staff of Terry’s Place are proud of the support and care given to visitors and their carers during the charity’s operational years and the positive impact it had on the community and the individuals it served.

Financial review

Unrestricted income recognised in the year was £68,549 and with restricted grant income being £7,938, total charitable income was £76,487. Revenue expenditure was £140,547 (unrestricted) and £14,317 (restricted) leaving a deficit for the year of £71,998 on unrestricted funds and a deficit of £6,379 on restricted funds.

Total funds at the year end were £804 representing the overall free reserves of the charity.

Terry's Day Care Limited

Trustees report (including directors' report) (continued) For the Period ended 31 March 2025

Due to the charity’s closure, the charity’s final financial year shows a significant decrease in income compared to previous years, as fundraising efforts slowed and the charity’s operational activities wound down. The charity's remaining assets, including reserves, were used to settle outstanding liabilities.

There were no remaining funds to distribute to other charities but, in line with the charity’s governing document, remaining assets were transferred to the Dementia Charitable Company. Registered charity number 1158640. Registered company number 9044373, a local charity with similar charitable aims to those of Terry’s Place.

Reserves policy

It has been the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The decision to close was taken as reserves approached these levels, with the then-current level of funding and incoming unable to sustain the charity. This level of reserves was maintained until the decision to close was made.

Structure, governance and management

The Trust is a registered charity, number 1199604 and a company limited by guarantee number 13554558, governed under the Articles of Association/Governing document dated 27 January 2022 as amended on 5 July 2022.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the period and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mrs R T De Lorenzo Mr S McGee Mrs T M Jeffery

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

New trustees are appointed by existing trustees following a recruitment process to ensure a varied skillset is maintained by the board at all times. None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Acknowledgements and conclusion

The Trustees wish to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of staff and volunteers who each contributed significantly to the charity’s success and unique and warm environment for visitors over the years. The Trustees would also like to thank the donors, supporters and partners who contributed to the charity’s work throughout its existence. This support made a real difference to the lives of many individuals, and we are truly grateful for your commitment and for having been able to make a difference.

While the charity has closed, the Trustees are confident that its objectives were fulfilled over its lifetime, and of the positive impact it made in the community.

The Trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

Notes to the financial statements For the Period ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Terry's Day Care Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ground Floor, Madgwick Lane, Westhampnett, Chichester, PO18 0FB, England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

The charitable company ceased all activities on 31 March 2025. As part of the closure of the charity, all plant and equipment was transferred at nil consideration to the Dementia Support Charitable company. Registered Charity No. 1158640. Company No. 9044373.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Terry's Day Care Limited

Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the Period ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings 20% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Terry's Day Care Limited

Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the Period ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
