TEDDINGTON AND HAMPTON WICK VOLUNTARY CARE GROUP REGISTERD CHARITY NO 276809 REPORT OF THE TREASURER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Accounts for 2024/25 are attached. Key issues to highlight for the year ended 31 August 2025 are as follows:

A. Receipts and Payments

Owing to an unexpected and very generous legacy of £20,000, there was a net profit for the year of £18,488.50 compared to the prior year deficit of £9,064.30 and the budgeted deficit of £5,170.76. The deficit was expected to be lower than last year owing to another legacy of £6,000, received before the budget was calculated. Comments on other items of income and expenditure are as follows:

• Legacies aside, income was marginally higher than budget across most sources of income, especially from third parties and our clients. Thanks to the Hampton Wick United Charities and Rotary Club of Teddington for their kind support.

• Expenditure was also marginally lower than budget, due to a lower than expected cost for the 50[th] birthday celebrations. Print costs were higher than anticipated owing to the decision made during the year to publish our ‘Life Stories’ booklet to promote the group and attract new volunteers. Thanks to Phil Wardman and team for all their work on this and the clients who shared their stories with us.

• The budget for 2024/25 shows an overall loss of £10,577.39 and reflects the following assumptions:

• The shopping buses will continue to operate in a similar way to this year

• There will be no purchase of any major office equipment

• There will be some fundraising income from events in 2025

• Interest rates on the savings accounts will stay at similar levels (and will offset the budgeted loss to a significant extent)

• Income from clients and third parties will remain steady and no significant legacies will be received.

• Some further printing of booklets/flyers will be undertaken (some has already taken place)

• The RuT Council Petrol Expenses paid to us via Age UK will continue into 2026 at the level specified up to December 2025

• Other expenses will be in line with 2024/25

B. Capital Reserve Accounts

• The interest received from the Nat West Liquidity Manager 95 Day account opened last year has made a significant contribution to our finances. A total of £3,169.10 interest was received from our two reserve accounts. The closing balance at Cater Allen was £14,378.45 and at the Nat West account £81,250.23

• At the end of the year the cash balance was £18,488.50, so with the above investments, our total assets amounted to £114,117.18. Hence the Charity still has very healthy reserves for the foreseeable future. Over the next few months we will be looking at ways to use the money for the benefit of our clients and the local community whilst maintaining sufficient reserves for our future.
