The Ente rlse Club for Disabled Peo le Annual Re ort For The Year Ended 31st December 2024 Admlnlstratlon Stru re and Govemance The Enterprise Club for Disabled People is constrtuted by Deed of Trust and is a registered Charity No. 230264. Its address is Enterprfs• Hou80, 16 Avon Street, Coventry, CV2 3GL. Charlty Trustees Mr A.C. Benfield {President) Mr D.J. Potter {Secretary) Mrs M. Potter (Treasurer) Mrs R. Reason Dr L.D. Clark Mrs L. Ifeland Mr P. Manger Mr M. Johnson Mrs L. Ha¢kett-Frost Génoral Manager Mrs J.K. Simms Chairperson Mr C. Simms Ob ects and Actlvltles The objects of the Charty are to provKle or assist in the provision of facilities in the interest of social welfare for the recreation and leisure time occupation of people with disabilities in Coventry and the surrounding district with the object of improving their quality of life. The charity's membership numbers some 150 and is staffed by 5 part-time employees and some 50 volunteers. The Social and Fundraising activrties are carried out by a sub-committee of members, the majority of whom are disabled. The main activities and services provided for the membership. with either physical, leaming or sensory disabilities, over five days and evenings each week. are designed to meet the main aims and objectives of the charty and can be summarised as follows: Daytime Activities 1. The 'A Team,, a day time session for young adults with disabilities, 2. Day Centre including regular lunch excursions, 3.Handicraft Group, 4. Short Mat Bowls practise sessions. 5. Support Group Evenlng Actlvltles 1.Social Evening, 2. Sports Group. 3. Short Mat Bowls League Matches. 4.Theatre Trips A Transport Service is operated by the chanty to support the Weekly Activities Programme. Over 850A of the membership of 150 is dependent on a(xes8ible transport to enable them to gain access to the facilities. The charty ￿rrenIty owns three accessible mini buses. all of which have been purchased as a resutt of fund raising ventures, grants and donations. Mlnl Bu• Fl••t The Truslees have a longstanding six-ye3r replacement programme In place so that Ideally the vehicles are disposed of before they become unreliable and costly to repair. In effect this means that funding has to be available to replace one vehicle every tsvo years. The six-year timescak was lapsed due lo the reduced use of the vehicles during the Pandemic. Our last new vehide went into service in April 2023. over a year later than scheduled. The next replacement is going ahead during 2025. This vehicle will replace the one dedicated to late Gommrttee mernber KathTie McAulrffe and her name will be carried forward onto the new minibus. The wheelchair ac￿Ssible Peugeot Expert People Mover donated in 2018 enhances the Servi￿ we provide, particularly as some our activtties are over subscribed and it is more economical to use when transporting small groups of members; our Short Mat Bowls teams and committee members. The charity funds the salaries of two part-time employees to support the Transport Service; Transport Co-ordinator and a minibus driver, who operate the vehicles during the day. Since March 2024 National Lottery Awards for All Funding has been in pla￿ to partially support the minibus driver position for Iwo years. A team of volunteers drDie the vehicles on a rota basis in the evenings. A part-time General Manager, employed by Trustees, deals with the day-to-day running of the charity, induding all the administration work, submission of grant applications, and oversees the annual Fundraising Programme. A part-time (ten hour per week) Session Supervisor Post (daytime) wa8 introduced in October 2018. The Session Supervisor works closely with the volunteers to ensure thal they all have duties allocated to them, offering supervision and advu as required. The Session Supervisor has been able to use our e8tabli8hed volunteer netsvorks to recruit volunteers and a88iSted by the General Manager pursue new conts¢ts. A part time (ten hours per week) evening Session Supervisor post was created in June 2021. The Sheldon Trust has awarded a grant to partialty support the post for one year from February 2025. The postholder takes responsibility for the volunteers attached to the evening groups which ensures that adequate assistance 18 available to cover the catering serrfice and member's activities. Initially. this proved to be a challenge due to an acute shortage of volunteers coming forward to cover evening sessions. However the situation improved towards the end of 2023 when several evening volunteers were recruited and adequate support has remained in pla￿. Achlevements and Perfornianco Fundlng The Trustees prepared the annual budget and identified funding prioritie8. The current economic climate and cost-of-living crisis is having an adverse effect on income and expenditure. particularly the S￿nIfICant increase in utility charges. Major fundraising opportunities have decreased since the Pand8mic. The club is now more d8p8ndent on its own internal fundraising schedule. grants from Charitab￿ trusts. donations, and bequests. The charity is currently covering the majonty of the salary costs for five part time p08ts. Over the past Iwo years we have managed to secure partial support for the Iwo Session Supervisor positions and the minibus driver post. but there has not been a successful outcome for the senior positions. The Way Forward The Trustees review the suC￿S, shortcomings and general operations to establish if these are still relevant and appropriate to seNe the membership and to develop ideas, 'Vision' and a business plan for the dub's growth over the nexl five to ten years. SU￿SSion planning is also a priority. The acquisition of the fomer day nursery ne￿ door to the dub by the President's company has presented an opportunity to create a therapy garden for members. There has been no acc￿￿ to outsKle space Sin￿ the charity moved to its current sile in the late 1950's. Members are able to sit oUtS￿e and relax with friends. enjoy barbeques, engage in activrties while taking advantage of the Spring and Summer weather. New activities are being introduced to include basic gardening skills. weeding, mowing and planting. Raised beds and planters will ensure the activities are accessib￿ to all members. The garden is now available to host major fundraising events such as the Summer Fayre. The General Manager, who is also the charity's designated Safeguarding Offi￿r. and two Trustees su¢¢essfiJlly cornp￿ted a Level Three Safeguarding Adults Training Course. The Transport co-ordinatorldayts.me Session Supervisor, the evening Session Supervisor, and two Trustees hold Emergency First Aid at Work Certtficates. IL Therapy Garden (work in progress) Indivldual Groups Individual groups within the Club continue to play their part in OLJr overall programme. After the Pandemic many organisations remained closed or reviewed the setvices they offer. A8 a result, the club is receiving an unpre(Edented number of enquiries and referrals. The 'A' Team, a social group for young adults, is very popular and many new members have been welcomed over the past year. The group is currently operating at full capacity. Members have continued to participate in a variety of activities which offer opportunities to communicate, make friends, educate, and promote general health and V￿lIbeing. Members enjoy themed arts & craft projects. seated exercise to music, Pool, Snooker, Darts, Mini Crossbow, Wii Games. and quizzes. EXcurS￿nS out in the wider community have continued and members have enjoyed regular trips to Ten Pin and occasional pub lunches. The Handicraft Group has made a significant contribution to the club during 2023. Sales of gocNJs made by our dISab￿d members ex￿eded all exPeCtat￿n8 at the Summer Fayre and Christmas Bazaar. During the year in-house sales have been robust. The Day Centre members continue to partiGipale in a varw of a￿l¥It￿S including weekly quizzes. word search puzzles. adult colouring, and prize Bingo sessions. The number of attendees has increased during the year. Pub lunches are a regular feature on the group's agenda. The y￿eklY support group introduced after the Pandemic for members who were adversely affected by the isolation and lad( of contsrt with friends has proved to be very beneficial. It has become a pennanent fixiure in our weekty activlties programme. Members have time to talk in a small group situation which helps to relieve anxiety and build confiden￿. The Sports Group combined with the Short Mat BovAs Sedion remains the largest group within the club. Weekly in-house league games in a variety of sports are h￿hlY competitive. The club has one team entered in Ihe WapNickshire & Coventry District Short Mat Bowls League. The current season commenced in October 2024 and reaches its climax in February 2025. Like many other grassroots sporting activities Short Mat Bowls is still struggling to recover from the conséquences of the Pandemic. The 'Lock Down, periods gave people ample opportunity to consider their social commitments and make Changes to their IrfeSty￿S. A high percentage of bowlers fall into the 'seniorf age group and post Covid-19 many decided that they no longer wanted to commit to evening matches due to the late finishes or travel in winter weather conditions. The Bowls Development Allian￿ is working with the English Short Mat Bowls Association to offer practical support and advi(* to those counties who are experiencing difficutties. Fundralslng The annual Walkathon organised by Coventry Leofric Lions, re-branded as Move4Fun, took place in May 2024. A team of thirty-nine members and volunteers from the Enterprise Club participated raising £3.￿0 in sponsorship to support the transport sen41￿. The annual in-house Easter raffle raised £527. the annual Summer Fayrè took place on 23rd July raising 1.639.95. the Christmas Bazaar in November brought in a record £2,300 and the major Christmas Draw raised a further £775. Handicraft sales raised £1,175, the coffee bar and catering sa￿9 brought in £6000. Minor weekty raffles. Black Out Card8. and a weekly 100 Club al80 bring in a significant income. Grants and Donatlons The securing of grantsldonations from Charitable Trusts. Businesses etc. in addition to the Management Committee's own fundraising venture8 18 essential if the club is to continue to flourish. Funding is required to support the weekty programme of actNities, our transport requirements and also enables the Management Commrttee io purchase necessary items of equipment and carry out minor repair and refvrbishment projects to keep the building in a sound and secure condrtion.

The Annual Report drav￿ attention to the impact that volunteers have on the day-to4ay running of the charity. All the activities undertaken depend on support from volunteers to enable them to be carried out efficiently so that they provide maximum benefit to our disabled members. We currently have reliable volunteers available to assist wrth the catering, the transport service and the activity sessions. Volunteers provide our members With the services they cannot manage themselv69 and our members achieve with the support of volunteers. We attract volunteers from a variety of Sources; Coventry Voluntary Action, The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, sixth fomi students from local schools, and the wider community. We recognise that there is a great deal of competition for volunteers. as many organisations are having to make cuts to paid posts to rely increasingly on support from the voluntary sector. The charity works to provKle volunteers wilh skills and experience that will equip them for the work place. We want to ensure that volunteering is a worthwhile and productive experience, so we offer training to our volunteers. A group of ten minibus drNers hold the MIDAS {Mini Bus Dfiver Awareness) qualificatlon. Safeguarding training is also made available to all volunteers. Volunteers are also offered the opportunity to develop further skills by taking an Emergency First Aid at Wod( Course. The Len & Peggy Tasker Diamond Award. narned after one of our late Founder members, is presented annualty to a volunteer who has given eX￿ptIOnal service to the charty.
