CHAIRMANS REPORT
THE OLD PEOPLES WELFARE COMMITTEE was founded in 1960 with object of
promoting the relief of the elderly in any manner which now or hereafter by
deemed by law to be a charitable in and around the Rochford District.
After years of fundraising through the Rochford Carnival set up for the purpose
of the Daycentre was opened in 1970 in the old planning building in Back Lane
Car Park. Moving to a purpose built building in 1985 which was extended in
1992.
l am grateful for our officers for their dedication.
Our President Brenda Jackson-Baker, Our Secretary Hilary Lister and our
Treasurer Mark Anderson.
Also I would like to thank the members of the commlttee for thelr support over
the years and for their return after the Covid Lockdown,

DAY CENTRE REPORT.
It has been a hard year for the Day Centre. We were forced to close down for
Covid from March 2020 to Aug 2020 only to have to close down again before
Christmas. So we were not able to open until after the end of the financial year
in May.
The Day Centre Is very different as we lost 13 people through Covid during
lockdown and two more since our return.
We are to report the loss of two helpers who both died Dennls Door and
Jimmy Gilligan who was also a former mini bus driver.
The Day Centre could not function without our volunteers: Gerry Grainger who
has worked in the kitchen and dining room for 17 years and Margaret for
several years. Ex Chief Eric who helps in the kitchen since our return after
lockdown. Kim Langham who drives the mini bus as well as working in the
kitchen and takes me to the cash and carry. Also our drivers Ken Morgan and
Mick Ellett. We are sorry to lose the services of George Langham our Day
Centre Treasurer at 94 he felt that he could not carry on.
We thank him for his continuous services.
Jim Dorrell who took the money two days a week has now agreed to work four
days a week and it is much appreciated. Thanks to Brian and Gill Plackett for
cleaning and attending to the maintenance. We hope that things will return to
normal and that we can build up the clients again.
We would also like to thank Rochford District Council for supplying new
outside doors, new gate and for decorating the windows.
We would also like to thank the Council for passing Government Grants.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE OLD PEOPLE'S WELFARE COMMITTEE FOR ROCHFORD AND DISTRICT** 

I am reporting on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 which are set out on pages 1 to 5. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- Report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. - Follow all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination inclues a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts represent a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination  giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1) Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act 

2) The accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
