Structure governance and management

The charity is a governed by its constitution and is constituted as a Trust, registered under the

Charity Commission, Number 272726.

The Trustees who served during the year and dates acted if not for the whole year.

Glynis Halling Chairperson Michael Hale Sandra Hale Treasurer Keith Gorf Dr Roy Sharma Rick Light Diners Rep

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s constitution, the Charities Act 2011 And “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1[st] January 2016)

Objectives and activities

The constitution’s stated aim is to promote the welfare of the elderly, those with disability and others in need.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what

Activities the charity should undertake.

In line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and the objective outlined above.

The Centre has provided the following:

Achievements:

Currently the centre is providing approximately 90 meals a week for the elderly and people with disabilities. We currently have 20 volunteers who do amazing job to make all possible,

Carol (our co-ordinator) works tirelessly to ensure the centre runs smoothly. As well as organising fundraising events during the year.

Carol and Pam (our cook) spend a lot of time sorting out menu plans and ensuring we provide the best meals and to keep the cost down of lunches which are £7.00 for a two course with tea or coffee.

A new Christmas event for 2022 was a coffee morning with a grotto and Father and Mrs Christmas, thanks to two of our diners who helped build the grotto and dressed the part it was nice to see so many children in the centre again all thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers.

Christmas day was another great success free for all who attend (pre-booked) and generously supported by local organisations and donations, we were very lucky to have Hank Sterry playing for the diners

A coffee morning at Easter with an Easter egg hunt in the garden was enjoyed by many children.

The Trustees would like to thank Carol and Pam and all the volunteers who make the successful running of the centre.

Financial Review

Following the Centre’s Reserve policy and advice from The Forest of Dean Funding Department we have maintained a minimum of £8000.00 to meet unexpected expenses such as repairs, redundancies, or any unforeseen circumstances.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

No Funds are in deficit.

Principal sources of funds during the year:

• Donations from individuals, including regular monthly contributions.

• Lydney Town Council

• Coventry Building Society

• Two Rivers

• F.O.D Lions

• Forest of Dean Lottery

• Alan Keiley Carpets

• We have recently received a donation from a gentleman from Lydney left in his will who only came to the centre on Christmas Day words that he left were: “I very much enjoyed the facilities and friendship the centre offered and would wish others to do so”

Main expenditure for the year Wages £12149.28

Maintenance which is our concern under the terms of the lease, means that we preserve

The dining experience for our members and all who use the buildings which is safe, warm well ventilated, aesthetically pleasing.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Reference and Administration Details

The Charity has consulted this year:

• Dean Accountancy (Wages and Accounts)

• Forest Voluntary Action Forum for policies and procedures. # Barnwood Trust # Severn Trent

Future Objectives

The Trustees will continue to seek value for money for our diners and offer a happy and fulfilling experience for all who dine, participate in activities or help and work at the Centre.

The Trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
