TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Trustees present their report and the financial ststement for the year ended 30
September 2025.
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 meM1￿rS. 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.

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 m￿Mise 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.

Under the Chanlies Act 2011, the Truslees are TBquired to prepare a statement of accounts

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 3￿ September 2025, which are set out on
the attached pages 7 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audlt
is not required for this year under section 144 {21 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to=
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Art 2011 and section 411}Icl of the
Charities Act
> Follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act.
> State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnerfs ststement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination inc5udes a rewew of the accounttng records kept by the chartty and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual wtem5 or disclosures of 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 15 grven a5 to whether the accounts present a
'true and fair vievf and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examinerfs Ststsment
In connection with my examiriatÈon. no matter has come to my attention:
l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
> To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act: and
> To prepare accounts which accord Wbth the accounting records and comply with the
ccounting requirements of the 2011 Act, with the methods and principles of the Statement
of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met: or
2. To which. in my opin￿n. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
