Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 March 2024


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Achievement and Performance

This year has been dominated by one subject this being the "Cost of Living crisis. It has hit a large number of the Matson Community. With the hard work of the TiM and supporting agencies TiM has been able to assist and support evermore old and young people "get through" this crisis. By no means can we sit back, but TiM can give itself a huge "pat on the back".

The numbers of the Matson community attending the variety of clubs and activities have again increased back to the numbers that were attending prior to the Covid years, this has been a success.

The renewal of the Redwell Centre lease was reported to the Trustees and management. In order to achieve this a number of Health and Safety etc. surveys and reports, from a variety of agencies, had to be gathered. This was successfully completed with a small number of issues identified which were immediately corrected.

The activities arranged such as Summer/Winter programmes (during school holidays) were a success along with over 150 people visiting the Xmas event held at the Redwell Centre. The feedback from all of the above was a joy to read and TO be a part of.The now, annual "Matsons got talent" event proved to be another success with the young people proving that they have got talent.

TiM again has proven to be Gloucestershire "go to organisation" supporting the Gloucester Council and others who wish to work with TiM.

In the year to 31st March 2024 TiM had experienced what could be best described as both slow growth and
consolidation

Slow (but continued) Growth
The numbers who were regularly visiting/attending clubs at the Redwell Centre (both young and old) continued to increase, but not in large numbers. Had the increase been larger, it would have meant that the team at TiM would have been overloaded, but they managed to cope with this slight increase in number. It of course meant that there was an increase in work, time and support required.

Unfortunately the number of the Matson community members experiencing difficulties in their lives rose. It was obvious that the issues had also become more complex, for example:

" Disputes between family members (involving organisations as the Police, Social Services, Medical practitioners etc)

" Poor health - meaning that TiM had to arrange more support from the NHS, examples such as - Mother and Babies events, Covid 19 injections etc,

" With the Council and Gloucester City Homes (GCH) - In the main money (or lack of) leading to rent arrears and building maintenance issues.

" With the major Energy and Water providers

All of the above required TiM's assistance and support. As the local/national support agencies appeared to not have sufficient resources to meet the demands, this left TiM as the "initial go to" organisation. In some ways this has been good, as it has meant that we have met one of TiM's long term goals, this being to move away from just a youth organisation and become a community based project.

Consolidation
The work to ensure that the plans for the modernisation/rebuild of the old school lodge (situated at the far end of Matson) has continued, although several challenges had to be overcome. These challenges being set by the partners in this development, e.g.: Gloucester City Council and Gloucester City Homes (GCH)b. It was also noted that both had set each other several "planning" challenges.
Progress towards this aim and goal continues. It has always been recognised and reiterated by the Trustees, to everyone involved, that this was going to be a "marathon and not a sprint". Efforts by everyone involved have been very much appreciated.

Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 March 2024


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Redwell Centre
TiM have successfully received (albeit currently verbal) confirmation that the council's 25 year lease for the Redwell building had been accepted. The centre building and infrastructure can now be deemed to be "fit for purpose" e.g.: Fire safe and in compliance with the current exacting Health & Safety standards.
At the time of writing this report TiM were still waiting for the official written confirmation.

Funding bids - New recruit - Vicki Lynn.
Vicki has already begun to assist the manager by actively pursuing more bids than ever before. Allowing the manager more time for other supporting TiM activities.
The two major funding bids have remained the funds to pay the TiM team's wages and the School Lodge

Manager retirement
The Project manager indicated that in early 2025, she wanted to reduce her hours working at TiM for 3 days a week. The Trustees have discussed and are aware that this going to be a very difficult position to replace.
The managers job role and responsibility has changed so much even in the last 5 years.

Comparison with 2023/2024
The period has again, just like last period, been dominated by the "Cost of Living" crisis. There has been, sadly a lack of instances of kindness, within the community. Unfortunately, there have been several instances of the members of the community resorting to drugs and alcohol, as a supposed way to "mask these issues.

New ideas for the future have been focused upon setting up a group for both sexes, with no age limit. The focus, of this group to support the community reduce these issues.

Mini bus
The acquisition of this vehicle continues to be a huge success in supporting the elderly in attending a variety of clubs including the very popular Meet and Greet (every week that includes a meal and of course during the winter a place that is warm and inviting). It also allows this group to have days out to local amenities.

Youth clubs
These provide clubs for a variety of sports, the chance to eat a variety of foods from around the world.
The chance to discuss the many issues affecting the young people today including Monetary, The Internet, School attendance etc.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
For the year ended 31st March 2024 Unrestricted income was down significantly, being £134,714 (2023 : £214,017).

Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 March 2024

FUTURE PLANS
To aid and support the successful renovation of the derelict school building on Matson Lane. As reported in the Accounts for 2022/23 TiM Trustees commissioned the generation of a specific "School Lodge" business plan. This document has already been submitted pending further project funding bids .
The aim of the School lodge renovation project continues to be a support for the Matson community to have a venue that they can be proud of and to be a space where they can come and meet at any time of the day. It is also linked with the fishing community.

Progress has been slower than expected, due to issues between the Gloucester Council and Gloucester City Homes. The TiM Trustees continue to hopeful of a completion soon.

Redwell Youth Space
An idea has been muted to develop an additional space on the Redwell site for predominately for the Youth clubs. This project is also in the planning stage.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis as there are no material concerns about the charity's ability to continue for the foreseeable future.

- Office equipment - over 5 years

Income
All incoming resources are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Project is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty.

Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities include both the direct costs and support costs incurred in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.

Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and in compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Support costs, being indirect staff and overheads, are apportioned on a usage basis, proportional to the total costs of each activity undertaken.
