The trustees are responsible for preparing a twslees, annu8] report and financial slatements in accordance with the
applicable law and Ilnited Kingdom Accounting StandaTds {Unit¢d Kingdom Ci¢n¢rally Accepted Accounting
PTacti¢e)-
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for
each period which give a true and fair view of the stale of affairs of the charity and of the illCOTning resources and
the application of resources, of the charity for that ￿tod. In preparing the financial statements, the truslees are
required to:
Select Suitable accouniing policies and then apply them consistently-
Observ¢ th¢ methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP.
Make judgements and estimates ihat are reasonable and prndent;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to orAy material departures thal
must bc disclosed and explained in the finan¢ia] statements,.
Prepare the financial statemenis on the going ¢oneern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charity will continue in business.
Another year has gone by and we report again to our AGM with grateful ltw￿s. on many levels.
Vine Cotnrnunity Trust celebrated 40 years of Support and care for our clients in 2023. with many old friends.
previous staff and volLEnteers and those who are working with us now. 11 wtts amazing to hear som¢ of th¢ stories
they had to tell. In the early years the majority of p¢ople running Marlow House were volunteers. including the
manager. We still d¢pend greatly on our volunteers to support our ex¢ellent staff who look after our ¢lients now.
Training plays a hugely important part in all that we do and this es¢a]at¢s our costs. However. we still run on a
relatively small numlxr of paid staff because we have 5u¢h amazing volunteers, who continue to support the work
that we do.
OUT fundraising is back on track buL with the circumstances that the wunty finds ils¢lf in, we have to work harder
and smarter to gaiD ihose very necessary funds. This is, and will conlinue lo be, a battle to ensure ihal we supply
what our clients nccd.. relief from loneliness, some kindness and friendship 8nd a homely experienLe for those who
corne to Us in house. Meals on Wh¢¢ls ¢ontinues to expand along with other services ihal we provide. We are still
feeling the effects of the changes in the Local Authority that occurred some five years ago. Grants from Kettering
Borough Coun¢il and the county were generous, (£50.000). Unfortunately the ¢hanges have r¢sulted in smalle
grants, for a s¢rvice thal is not replicated anywhere else in the coiinty.
As ever we have had changes in staffing, these resulting in a stTonger, highly c¢)mmitted ieam, led by our ¢apable
manager, Diane White. However. this year we are losing two highly valued Trustees. Our past chairn)atL Alan
Francis 1$ moving away. necessitating his Tesignation. Alan led us duri￿ the challenging year5 of Covid rneaning
that we emerged safely on the other side. In addition our Treasur¢r, Richard Co¢, is stepping down. Richard h&4
b¢en our much respected guide over the past seven years and his in-depth reports have given us better insight into
the perfortnance of Marlow House. Both Alan and Richard will be greatly missed poffi¢ularly by us Trustees, who
have wot*ed closely wilh them. Our Trustee numbers have expanded this yeaT and we welcorne Philip Slaves and
Julia Faulkner to the team, as well as having three more prospective trustees due to join us shortly. To all of the
Tn]stees l offer my tIw￿$ for th¢ir help and support during the past year and luok forward to continuing to work
with them going forward. Each has a strength that complements the rest and iogether. a5 a team, we will use those
5tr¢ngths for the betternient of Marlow House. Thank you.
