Chair's report
Tenterden & District Day Centre
Chair of Trustees Annual Report 2025-26
The Tenterden Social Hub and Dementia Centre continues to thrive in terms of the services it provides to the community. These include the friendship, meals and activities provided in the Hub itself, special provision for sufferers from early stages of dementia and transport to and from the Hub. It also includes meals on wheels, help in the home, a café and a small charity shop. The number using these
services remain healthy in all areas.
The Hub continues to have close and good relations with local government and with the NHS As in previous years the pressures on the charity are almost all financial. These have been increased considerably by increases in minimum wage and national insurance and the sudden withdrawal of what had been a regular grant from Kent County Council.
In addition, the care and maintenance of the buildings from which the Hub operates becomes ever more of a drain on resources due to their age.
The Hub relies essentially on three separate income streams:
Monies earned through its activities including in the Hub itself, help through home visits, Meals- On-Wheels, the café and charity shop in EC30. Grants from local government and independent funding foundations. Charitable giving.
In response to the cost increases mentioned above:
Staffing costs have been kept at an absolute minimum.
Charges for the services the Hub provides have been increased as much as is practicable. Ever more time and energy has been put into fund raising.
A considerable amount of time is spent on grant applications but the Hub is not alone in facing all these pressures so it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain grants from independent sources.
The Hub is run by a small professional staff whose contribution goes well beyond the small print of their contracts, some fifty volunteers without whom the Hub could not operate and the Board of Trustees. Their collective dedication comes from an appreciation of the value of their work to members of the community who rely on it.
Ian Templeton.

The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Objectives and activities
Aims and objectives
Tenterden Social Hub (TSH) and EC30 Health and Wellbeing Centre, operate under one umbrella organisation as an independent provider, but support our community's needs in different ways. Both centres welcome everyone from our community and our combined impact to both individuals and families is significant.
Tenterden Social Hub
In our Tenterden Community we are the sole provider of a wide range of support for elderly and vulnerable adults under one roof. We provide cost-effective services in an existing and well-established framework and have been delivering essential support services since 1980, over 40 years.
o Transport service - this provides an essential lifeline, providing mobility, value for money and a fully accessible door-to-door service every weekday. We also assist with transport for hospital and doctors' appointments. Without this, hundreds of vulnerable and mobility compromised individuals would be
isolated at home without any form of support, or regular contact o Over 60's, Disability and Dementia Groups - Most of these groups are open daily, and provide the opportunity to take part in a range of activities and exercise programmes as well as simply enjoying a nutritious home-cooked meal and socialising with others
o Meals Club - daily we offer a choice of freshly cooked two-course meal service for our members prepared by our Chef and his team
o Meals-on-wheels provides a vital door-to-door service for mobility and health compromised individuals and supports those returning from hospital stays to recuperate in their own homes
o Helping Hands is a lifeline for those unable to get out and about for simple tasks like food and essentials shopping and who often struggle to undertake household duties. This service also supports those returning from a hospital stay
EC30-Community Health and Wellbeing Centre
Newly opened in April 2021 and operating under TSH organisation, EC30 is housed in a redundant renovated NHS property. We joined with NHS Property Services, Ashford PCN and Ivy Court Surgery to open a much-needed community facility. This offers multi-generational support and houses a team of NHS Social Prescribers. Everyone is welcome from within and outside of our local community, and we have drop-in and appointment-led sessions. The outside spaces are maintained by volunteers from the community. We work with many support groups and organisations, some of these just meet informally in the Cafe but we also offer our meeting rooms for hire to return an income. Our current support services attract a diverse range of visitors, As an organisation, we work closely with our partners in the local community including Churches, local schools, our Doctors Surgery, Tenterden Town Council and Ashford Borough Council.
Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
Achievements and performance
In continuing to adapt to the cessation of KCC direct funding and the introduction of Imago funding, The Hub has worked hard to invigorate the activities that we can offer. We continue to welcome new members into our Hub and new clients to our At-Home Services, supporting individual independence and reducing social isolation. In developing our services to meet the needs of our community, we introduced a new 'Memory Lane Group' that supports those who are in the early stages of dementia. This group then supports a members journey through to our other dementia support groups thus offering a full care pathway. Developing our dementia services and offering additional training to staff is a key objective in expanding and developing our Dementia services over the next few years. Our health and wellbeing centre, EC30 continues to grow and provide a welcome support to the Tenterden Community across all generations. The room rental and coffee shop income shows growth and better seasonal performances during the winter months.
Risk management
The economic impact of rising costs across all of our touchpoints, fuel, food and staff wages has been difficult to navigate. In implementing price increases, we need to be cognisant that we are not pricing our support out of the pockets of the local people who need us. We review and reduce our costs wherever possible and continue to seek and secure grants to fund our activities to ensure that we remain resilient for the future. Generally there is a UK wide reduction in the overall available funds to support core costs and the application process is taking longer.
Financial review
Financial review
Income for the year amounted to £736,391 (2025: £718,537). Expenditure amounted to £779,423 (2025: 735,756).As a result of these movements, a deficit of £43,032 resulted (2025: deficit £17,219).Included in the deficit is an amount of Depreciation of £27,483.(2025: £30,147). At 31 March 2026 total funds amounted to £327,773 (2025: £370,805).
Reserves policy
The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charitable company and have established a policy under which the free reserves held by the charitable company should be between three and six months of the resources expended, that is between £145,000 and £295,000 (2025: £145,000 and £295,000). This provides working capital and would enable the charitable company to continue operations in the event of a significant drop in funding long enough to reduce or cease its activities in an orderly manner.
Unrestricted funds at 31 March 2026 were £318,087 (2025: £356,961).
Restricted funds at 31 March 2026 were £9,686 (2025: £13,844) and further details are included to the financial statements.
Designated funds at 31st March 2026 were £260,237 (2025: £287,720) and further details are included in note 18 to the financial statements and mainly represent the fixed assets owned by the charity.
Trustees indemnity
The charitable company has arranged qualifying indemnity insurance for the Trustees.
Pay policy for key management personnel
The Trustees are the non executive board who are responsible for overviewing the operations of the charity. They appoint the Chief Executive who is in control of the management team. They set strategies and budgets, review risks and internal controls, approve salaries and assist in fundraising. The pay of the Chief Executive is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with market rates.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2026
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Tenterden & District Day Centre, Church Road, Tenterden, TN30 6AT, Kent.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 18 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Long leasehold property
-
Over the period of the lease
Fixtures and fittings
-
15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25% reducing balance
Equipment
-
25% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The company is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute in a winding up a sum not exceeding £10 whilst they are a member, or within one year after ceasing to be a member, towards debts and liabilities contracted prior ceasing to be a member.
