Summary of the Objects for the Charity set out in its Governing Documents
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation for the benefit of all disabled persons resident in Gosport and the administrative district of Gosport and in particular to provide facilities for competitive and non-competitive sport in their integration into society.
Organisation Structure
The charity Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The Trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The Trustees meet as a body monthly and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the charity. To assist in the smooth running of the charity the Trustees have support from around 30 volunteers.
Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
The existing Trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new Trustees. Potential Trustees would be invited to attend Trustees’ meetings as observers and would be given more details of the charity’s aims and activities and, if all agree, they would then be proposed as new Trustees at the subsequent Trustees’ meeting. New Trustees would then be ratified at the next AGM by GADSAD members.
Induction and training of Trustees
Following appointment, new Trustees are introduced to their new role and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. Several publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit. This ensures that new Trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.
Risk management
The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage risks. Insurance cover is in place and the finances are kept under review. Appropriate DBS checks, supported by regularly reviewed policies, are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable adults.
Activities and Achievements
GADSAD’s objectives continue to be achieved, offering members covering a wide range of ages and disabilities, the opportunity to participate in sporting activities and social events during the year.
This is due to having a good healthy number of volunteers, which has increased during this period.
Along with our normal Friday Night Club, members have participated in competitive competition against Red Diamonds, Slough and AADC plus. In addition, GADSAD’s Annual Games are held in July.
Social events such as our Annual Presentation Evening when we award the sporting achievements of our members, Fish & Chip Suppers, Pizza Night, Halloween Celebrations, BBQ and Christmas Meal have been organised for our members and volunteers during this period.
Fundraising Activities in the form of weekly raffles, attending local charity events with a stall and securing Small Grant awards have all been achieved to replace equipment and provide transport for our members to be able to attend the Friday Night Club, sporting events and social evenings and to help with the running and maintenance costs of our Hall.
Club maintenance, we continue to improve our facilities for the Health and Safety of our members and volunteers with new internal fire doors being installed.
The charity carries out a wide range of activities to reduce social isolation for disabled people within the Gosport and surrounding areas to promotes friendship, volunteering and mental health wellbeing.
