Chair of Trustee5 Report During this year, again, we have continued to work with our legal team to ensure we are compliant with the Charity Commission statLrtory regulations. We are pleased that the commission ha5 closed our case and our legal team are satisfied that we are now compliant with charity legislation. Unfortunately, the day centre has not resumed this year. In apart this was due to the ongoing issues that needed to be resolved regarding the charity constitution. As we have now. hopefully, concluded this work. We. as trustees. have been exploring avenues as to how we can ensure the day centre 15 up and running again. This is essential, as the charitys purpose is to provide thi5 service as stated in aur constitution as this is bound by charity law. Trustees have negotiated with a local provider and are in the final proceedings of sourcing suitable accommodation and staffing for the day centre to resume. Hopefully, we will be able to share this good news with all stakeholders in the coming weeks. The transport contracts continue to operate and are profitable for the charity. New tenders will be issues in line with contract expiry dates. Again, stsff will be made aware of this in due course. The Charity remains in a strong financial position and can been seen in the report. The charity has donated £IO.000 POUNDS TO ACORNS WALSALL Can I thankthe transport stsff fortheir work in this vitsl arm of our charity workand forthe care they provide for the sen11￿ users. I know families are grateful of this. Thank you to the trustees for volunteering their time and expertise for strategic oversight of the Charity. Again a huge thank you to both Neil and Sandrd fortheir continued effi)rts, their dedication and commitmentto the charity and the people it serves.
