## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Company, incorporated under the Companies Act 1985, on 9 September 1988, is Limited by Guarantee and does not have share capital. The registered office is 71-75 Frampton Road, Gloucester GL1 5QB
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Objective**
The object for which the Centre was established was and is to aid and improve the condition of those diagnosed with neurological, long term or chronic conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, the area of operation being the Gloucestershire as well as neighbouring counties.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's stated objective falls within the category "advancement of health" which is set out in the Charities Act 2011. The Charity meets this objective through the provision of oxygen therapy and other alternative, holistic and self-help therapies principally to people with Multiple Sclerosis but also to other members of the public who seek to obtain benefit from such therapies.
The Trustees have complied with the Charities Act 2011 and their duty to 'have regard' to public benefit guidance provided by the Charity Commission when exercising powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
## **Principal Activity**
The main activity of the Charity continues to be the provision of oxygen therapy and other alternative, holistic and self-help therapies which are provided at the charities building in Frampton Road Gloucester. This building enables an extended range of services to be made available for the benefit of members. Apart from the provision of oxygen therapy, the therapies provided are by independent providers and not directly by the Charity.
## **Review of Activities**
The Centre continues to provide a wide range of therapies. It is noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant reduction in the number of therapies provided with the centre shut entirely for 3 months and then on a very limited basis until the end of 2020. The statistics for activities are as follows for the year ending 31[st] December 2020:
- 186 active members
- 7 Therapists & 13 Oxygen operators
- 1235 Oxygen therapies
- 65 Acupuncture Sessions
- 105 Massage Sessions
- 1 Cognitive Behavior Therapies

## **Staff & Volunteers**
The Management Committee continue to recognise and appreciate the enthusiasm and commitment of the Centre manager, and the help provided by all volunteers is essential and greatly appreciated.
## **Financial Review**
The Centre receives no funds of any description from any statutory body. The Centre is, therefore, dependent on a high level of fundraising, and is particularly grateful for all the fundraising activities carried out to raise funds and to everyone who organises such activities.
The result for the year was a deficit of £9,577 this was partly due to the additional cost incurred by the centre during the pandemic and reduced income. The COVID-19 pandemic incurred additional costs for PPE and cleaning equipment. The Centre improved its overall fixed assets with the purchase of iPads laptops and associated equipment to run the centre virtually. To allow additional opening the centre has also made internal building improvements to create more therapy rooms allowing social distancing to be achieved more easily.
There was an increased level of grant income (£43,750 v £4,620) but a drop in contributions from oxygen therapy sessions from £25,409 to £13,926.
It has been noted that as the charity becomes better known and has a better reputation within its new location, it is better able to attract grants and corporate donations. It is the desire of the management committee to continue to promote the centre and its services in order to increase this area of funding.
The COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 brought the opportunity for the centre manager to widen her skills in regard to grant applications and improvement in the ability to promote the charity to local companies resulting in large donations.
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees regularly review and update the reserves policy in line with on-going commitments. The management committee have agreed that the target level of free reserves is 6 months' expenditure, which is £43,500. Free reserves are in excess of the reserves policy by £44,703.
## **Future Plans**
The Centre will continue to deliver the services identified above. In particular, we will:
- Develop the range of therapies that benefit the members and in 2021 plan to add Yoga, Pilates and expand our counselling provision.
- Increase our provision of assisted exercise machines and equipment.
- Monitor the maintenance and upkeep of the building to ensure it remains in a state of good repair.
- To promote the centre to all those who may benefit from it rather than just those diagnosed with MS.
- In order to continue to build awareness of the charity and its provision we will undertake a branding change in order to become more inclusive to a wider range of potential users.
- In 2020 we built relationships with the promotors within the NHS this has generated new referrals and those relationships will continue to be built on in 2021.
- Continue to build and maintain close working relations with enablers from other charities.
- To begin a wider project to not only support the individuals living with long term conditions
6
but also to assist the carers of these individuals.
- Focus our funding efforts on the application for grants and corporate gifting to provide long term improvements and provisions. Allowing member donations and small fundraising events to cover the base running costs of existing provisions.
- Continue to ensure that the Centre is managed efficiently providing a safe and supportive environment for its users.
