Documents referred to in this report are available for inspection at the AGM and during office hours or copies Can be provided. nomially free of charge, but the associab'on reserves the right to make a reasonable charge. structure. govemance and management The charity is an association govemed by its constitLrtional document. Trustees are appointed at the AGM in of each year through a voting prc¢ess and consist entirely of volunteers. There are two paid staff members that work for the charity. The Trustees named on page 2 have served throughout the year, except where indicated by resignation dates. Regular (bi-monthly) meetings of the Trustees take place to oversee the Society's acb'vth'es. Risk assessments have been completed by the Centre Manager. Objectives and aclivities First and foremost is our commrtment to our members. The society's main activity and objecb've is the continued running of leisu clubs for people with learning disabilits"es. Northampton Mencap is affiliated to Royal Mencap Society. We currently run three clubs for adults fortnighlly on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights We also organise other related activib'es during the year. We provide a safe and suitable environment for our clubs arKI transport for our members attend. Achievements and perforniance The year 2024125 continued to present great difficulties and, like many organisations, the Soryety desperately needs to increase the number of members and volunteers not only for Club nights but also as Trustees. Those who currenlly serve as Club volunteers work b'relessly to provide the current membership with interesting and safe havens fortnighlly on Monday. Wednesday and Friday evenings, for vthich we are eternally grateful. Reserves Policy It is the policy of Northampton Mencap to retain funds to ensure the conts'nued long- temi success of the society for the benefit of the meM1rS. Athough no specific absolute level of reserves is tsrgeted by the Trustees we feel it is prudent to always aim to hold several months of typical operating expenditure.
NORTHAMPTON MENCAP SOCIErY Page 4 Registered Charity Number 208974 TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 Public Benefit Statement The Charity operates for the benefft of its members and the public. Through the kind and generous donations of our members and supporters we run leisure clubs for people with leaming disabilib'es. The Trustees present their report and the finarKial sLqtemeni for the year ended 30 September 2025. Plans for future period We continue to enjoy the purpose-built venue for the benefit of our members Whilst it is accepted that the provision of existing clubs is important to the current members it cannot be denied the membership numbers are falling and that volunteer5 are increasingly hard to find. In November 2024 we employed an Ath"vitses Co-ordinator. One consequence of this employment will be to plan, co- ordinate and enhance the provision of acttvities for members, thereby increasing the attractiveness of our dubs and hopefully membership. This has been a great success. Financial Review Having received generous legacy donations over the last year the Society is now in a sound financial position. However. it would be foolish to erode the position afforded by the acquisition of these legacies. In order to secure the long temi fijture of the Society the Trustees have deposited a large proporbon of the capitsl in three secure investments to mMise interest gained. Day to day running of the Society is also on a sound financial foots'ng with Centre Income covenng Centre running costs. Ultimate control Ulbmate control of the chanty is held by the Board of Trustees named on page 2 of the financial ststements. Presented and approved and authorised by the board of Trustees at a committee meeting held on 26th January 2026 Signed on behalf the Board. James Boughton Trustee
