QUEENSBURY SUPPORT CENTRE
The Centre provides day care, on three days per week, for residents within the Queensbury area who, because of age and infirmity, would not have any social contact with their neighbours. Refreshments are provided throughout the day including a hot mid-day meal. A full programme of activities, entertainments and trips are organised with support given to ensure no-one is excluded.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with free unrestricted reserves of £23,498, which is above its agreed policy target of £15,000. The net payments for the year were a deficit of £8,871, funded by existing reserves. The independent examiner noted a governance concern regarding the employment of a trustee's son without prior regulatory permission, though this was not deemed deliberate.
