REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended 31 OCTOBER 2024



The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The purpose of the charity is to:
- Offer a variety of solutions to loneliness and social isolation in the Fylde Coast and surrounding areas.
- Help to improve Community cohesion and provides support to some of the most lonely and isolated people who live in the Fylde and surrounding areas.
- Help to improve an individual's feeling of self-worth; that they are part of the Community and not extraneous to it and a feeling of being welcomed and valued.
- Hosts daily activities, events and meet-ups ranging from a simple chat and coffee to Sunday lunch, music & dance, drama, keep fit, bingo, raffles, speakers, short break holidays, events and social occasions and also enables individuals to further gain confidence through taking on volunteer roles.
- Work alongside GP practices and provides an additional signposting referral tool to Doctors when faced with illnesses caused by loneliness and isolation.
- Constantly update what services are available for our members and signposts individuals towards specialist support agencies/organisations for help with their particular problem where necessary.
- Support many individuals during a crisis and, when necessary, signpost them towards the professional help they need, whether it's the emergency services, mental health, or social services.
- Support individuals within the community who do not often come into contact with the Authorities.
- Provides an awareness of the friendly impartial advice and counselling is available.
- Provide a support facility to other major charities where they can refer people who they are not able to provide the appropriate support.
- Protect vulnerable individuals and the victims of crime.

Strategies employed to achieve the charity's aims and objectives including activities during the year.
- The provision of an activity on most days of the week.
- The provision of Meeting Point facilities at six venues within the Fylde, area.
- The provision of a Sunday lunch meeting point.
- Entertainment.

- Forming working partnerships with other entities providing services to the Community.

COVID-19
Through additional Covid19 funding JGF has been able to continue to provide additional welfare support to reduce
feeling of loneliness, anxiety, fear, depression, emotional support and welfare support to those needing extra help. Just Good Friends are still supporting members with the effects of and fear of Covid ie:
- Maintains regular contact with all vulnerable, at-risk members plus continues to provide regular support to isolated,

JUST GOOD FRIENDS (NORTH WEST) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09847839)


REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended 31 OCTOBER 2024



OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

Some benefits of JGF working with people suffering from feelings of Isolation and Loneliness: -
1. The opportunity and environment to talk about their loneliness problems and isolation issues with the effect that after sharing their concerns the problem is often not as overwhelming as they originally thought and where frequently solutions are found where none were first thought possible. Without this support the problem often becomes all-consuming which may lead to a spiral of distress, depression and possible serious physical and mental illness or
suicide.
2. Relieves the pressure on the NHS.
3. Relieves the pressure at Doctors' surgeries.
4. Relieves the pressure on the mental health services
5. Just Good Friends would always provide a source of help and support when people are victims of crime.

When planning the activities for the year, the trustees have considered the commissions guidance on public benefit and in particular the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position and reserves policy

JGF had approximately 200 members in October 2024.


In viewing the JGF membership numbers one should take into account that it is a transient membership and that when the healing process is complete people return to the community as whole individuals. As whole individuals they then play a full role within the community although most retain close links with JGF even if they don't necessarily renew their membership. Since its formation in 2012, many hundreds of people have passed through the JGF doors.


Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between spending and receiving of income and to safeguard services. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves to support this is circa £55,000.


The key elements of the general running expenses against which the reserves policy is implemented in order to safeguard the proper provision of the services required by its members are: -

- Office and Room Hire - 12 months- £5,000

- Employment Cost - 12 months - £34,000

- Other costs £16,000

Total £55,000


STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.


Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The recruitment, selection and subsequent induction of a new trustee into JGF we see as an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of the charity and when all these three elements work properly it can lead to a balanced, well informed, and effective trustee body that can result in a well governed and effective charity.

The trustees do not receive any remuneration.

The key elements governing the selection of any new appointment are: -
- A primary interest in the well-being of the lonely and isolated.
- The possession of a skill or capability that would be useful in helping provide solutions for loneliness and isolation.
- A talent for originating applications for donor grants.
- A talent for fund raising.

Organisational structure

The charity's governing structure comprises of a board of trustees, of which there are seven as at October 2024, assisted by a small management team.
The operational management of the Charity is directed by the Managing Director of JGF who reports to the JGF Board of Trustees.
