for the year ended 31[st] December 2025
**Charity Name:** The Uxbridge Centre **Charity Number:** 289924
**Address:** 32B The Greenway, Uxbridge UB8 2PJ
## **Trustees during the year:**
- Angela Brydges (Chair)

## **Charity Details**
The Uxbridge Centre is a registered charity governed by a constitution adopted on 23[rd] February 2012.
Trustees are appointed by members at the Annual General Meeting. The trustees and committee members meet monthly to oversee the charity’s activities, finances, safeguarding responsibilities and future planning.
The charity operates primarily through volunteers supported by one part-time coordinator.
## **Charitable Objectives**
The charity’s objective is to provide opportunities for our local community to have access to health and fitness, education, recreation and friendship in order to reduce isolation and loneliness and build resilience within our community.
## **Activities and Achievements**
During the year, the charity continued to expand its services in response to increasing local demand.
Key achievements included:
- Cook & Eat programme funded by Heathrow Community Trust and delivered by a local chef.
- Continuation of our weekly coffee morning, open to all and regularly attracting 45-50 attendees.
- Delivered a wide range of weekly activities for older people funded by NHS Winter Funding initiative. These included Yoga, Tai Chi, Chair exercises, Craft, Sewing/Knitting/Crochet, Pottery, Sing-alongs, Bingo and others.
- Continued weekly activities and outings throughout the Summer and Autumn months with funding from London Borough of Hillingdon Welcome Centre funding.
- Collaborated with London Borough of Hillingdon to deliver Strength & Balance classes for over 50’s.
- Community events: Spring Fair, Quiz Night, Christmas Fair, Wreath Making, Christmas Sing-along with Uxbridge Choral Society and a Christmas Party.
The trustees believe these activities fulfilled the charity’s objectives and delivered clear community benefit.
The Uxbridge Centre is firmly established in the centre of the community as a venue for adults and children of all ages who attend the various groups and classes. It is also a welcoming space for older people, for those on their own and for those who rely on the services provided to reduce loneliness and isolation.
Feedback from beneficiaries confirmed that the charity’s services reduced isolation, promoted supportive networks and friendships and improved health and wellbeing.
## **Financial Review**
Total income for the year was £96,690 (2024: £105,938) consisting of regular rents, private lettings, grants and fundraising.
Total expenditure amounted to £85,897 (2024: £104,280) primarily relating to rent, wages and maintenance costs.
Maintenance expenditure was greater in 2024 due to major repairs/improvements however rent costs more than doubled in 2025.
At the year end, unrestricted reserves stood at £107,599. In accordance with the Reserves Policy, the Trustees aim to maintain reserves to cover annual maintenance costs, major project upgrades, continuity of services and in the event, dissolution costs.
The charity remains financially stable and continues to see additional funding opportunities to meet growing community need.
## **Plans for the Future**
In the coming year, the charity intends to:
- Develop partnership with London Borough of Hillingdon Adult Learning.
- Partner with Hillingdon Foodbank.
- Strengthen partnerships with local healthcare providers.
- Continue to identify and deliver a wide range of activities for the community to experience and enjoy.

||I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above
charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended**31/12/2025**.
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the
accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011
(“the Act”).|||
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 all 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 ( ~~other than that disclosed below *)~~ which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- • the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content 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.
