The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes with principal objective of providing services and facilities for the well being or the elderly in our catchment area; comprising a lunch club (three days), keep fit, genealogy, ceramic painting, befriending service for the vulnerable elderly living in the cowplain ward and its surrounds. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Main Achievements** The Centre has had yet another busy year and the demand on the lunch club continues to increase with the number of meals reaching up to forty-two or more per day and a waiting list of clients who wish to join the lunch club. The demand has continued to grow with so many of our lunch clients being affected by the change in the winter fuel allowance and the continuing increase in energy and food costs. We have found that many of our lunch members are arriving even earlier in the mornings and more of them staying and joining to the social afternoons, therefore spending more of their days at the centre. So far, we have managed to keep the price of the lunch club meals at a very reasonable price which has not been increased for a couple of years, but we will have to continue to monitor costs of food prices as they are continuing to rise week on week. The decoration of our Main Hall which holds the lunch club and other activities was redecorated over the Christmas period which has made it into a nicer and welcoming area for our lunch members and hall hirers who help to bring in income. With all the work that has been done over the last two years the centre is a bright and inviting place. Our Centre Manager Julie Turner has now been in post nearly a year and has continued the excellent work of our previous manager making improvements and continuing to look at ways of bringing in hall hirers to help fund the Centre. As Chairperson it has been a pleasure to collaborate with her and see her enthusiasm. As we no longer have a part-time assistant, I am presently covering the manager’s role when she is on leave, this obviously helps to keep the costs down. If we continue to develop more services at the Centre, then the committee and trustees may consider reinstating the part-time assistant post. As mentioned in last year’s report we continue to look at ways of attracting more volunteers to the Centre; we have been fortunate in increasing the numbers, but my concern is getting suitable volunteers for the catering and befriending services. Alongside our popular lunch club and social afternoons, we continue to have around twenty diverse groups hiring the rooms on a weekly and monthly basis; these are made up of different charities and activities. The Podiatry Service holds four clinics a week at the centre and continues to treat approximately fifty patients per week. Our Vice Chair continues to provide a free service assisting people who need help filling in Attendance Allowance forms. As there is an increase in requests for this service it has been agreed that the chairperson will also assist to help with the demand. The centre is continuing to be extremely popular with the elderly community both local and surrounding areas as well as many of our hall hirers. Financially the Charity continues to be in a stable position as you will see from the Treasurer’s report. Sadly, earlier in the year our Treasurer had to step down from his role due to health problems, but we have been lucky in finding a new Treasurer who has taken over and continued the excellent work of our previous treasurer. As I mentioned in the first paragraph of this report the Trustees and Executive Committee members will continue to monitor the finances to ensure that the charity remains in a financially stable position so that we can continue to maintain our building and provide much needed services for all the users of the Centre. To end my report, I would like to say a big thank you for the dedication of our manager and all the volunteers who continue to make the Centre a welcoming and caring place for all users of the Centre. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## **Governing Document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. Model constitution adopted 26 June 1957 as amended 12 August 1980, 5 October 2000 & 20 October 2005.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **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; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
