BIRMINGHAM DISABIUTY RESOURCE CENTRE
Chairperson's Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
I would Ilke to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Blmiingham Disabllity Resource Centre
{DRC} Annual Report and Accounts and to outline some of the highlights from the 202312024
financial year.
The past year has once again presented many challenges particularly due to rising energy costs and
the undue pressure placed on many disabled people needing to keep warm and run assistive
equipment. DRC and its Staff and volunteerteam have continued to provide support to many
disabled households including income maximisation through its Information and Advice Services and
a Safe and Warni Space at its Infomiation Health and Wellbeing Centre for local people to meeL
keep warm and have access to breakfast and hot drtnks. In March 2024, DRC wa5 extremely pleased
to receive two-year grant funding from Energy Redress which has enabled the organisation to
establish its Energy Advice Team providing much-needed Information and advice support to disabled
households experiencing fuel poverty.
Other economic factors tmpacting on all of us but disproportionately on disabled people has been
the increasing pressure of c05t of livlng, hi8h inflationary factor5 and interest rates. Thls has
impacted disabled people's ability to afford basic requirements, particularly food and utilities. DRC
has continued to provide support and help people in need navigate these difficulties as far as is
possible. This has included supportin8 those in most need to apply for Household Support Fund
grant funding and, through grant funding secured, the organisation was a150 able to open a Cost of
Living Hub during the year providin8 local disabled household families with access to much needed
dry goods, clothing and hygiene products.
The cost of living crisls has also contlnued to impact on DRC as an or8anlsation with high inflation,
increasing energy, accommodation and salary costs impacting on budgets during the year. DRC
continues to deliver a number of multi-year grants and contracts which have not kept vp with
inflation resulting in the organisation designating unrestricted funds whilst plan5 and strategies to
address this are Implemented.
On a MO￿ positive note, DRC has continued to secure new and continuation fundin8 during the year
to ensure it can continue to deliver its much-needed Charitable actrvities, This included securing
further 3-year contracts with Birmingham City Council to deliver much needed information, advice
and guidance and income maximisation support.
It 15 With sadness that I must report the untimely passing of Andy Beaton reported to me on the 3rd
of September 2024. Andy had been a trustee on the board since 23rd of September 2003. His
involvement with the Birmingham disability rights group, goes back to 1992 when a Birmingham City
Council officer in the then Economic Development Department. Indeed, that is when me and Andy
first met. and we had known each other ever since.
In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the DRC staff, volunteers including the
board of directors in their steadfast work and endeavours during 202312024 in the best interests of
meeting the needs of the local communities we serwe.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
During the 202312024 financial year, DRC On￿ again. secured grant fundlng to support the delivery of
some of its charitable activities in the latter part of the year. The application of rules around income
recognition {as governed by the Charities Statement of Recommended practi￿ 2019 have resulted in
a position whereby income has been recognised in-year but some or all the associated cost fall into
the subsequent year. This has had the effect of Increasing the reported net increase in funds and will
have the opposlte effect in the following year when the grants are expected.
The principal risks and untrrtainties include:
financial stability resulting from the markets DRC has traditionally operated wlthin being
impacted by BREXIT and the 3550ciated loss of European Funded Programmes
staff recruitment caused by current market trends bought about by BREXIT and the Covid-19
pandemic
increased costs In running its Infomjation, Health and Wellbein8 Centre as a result of the cost
of living crlsis
multi-year contacts and 8rants bein8'OUt of step, with current costs as a result of the cost of
livÉng crisis
DRC has well developed plans and strategies in place to rnanage these risks and has allocated an
appropriate level of resource to business development; HR and recruitment; and income generation
and fundraisln8 activities. DRC has also designated unrestricted funds to support rlsing cost of living
costs.
Investment polity and powers
Aside from retainln8 a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the CharIt￿S funds are to be
spent in the short term so there are few funds for long-term investment. Having considered the
options available, the trustees have decided to continue to invest the small amount that it has
available in a high interest deposit account.
Reserves policy and golng concem
The trustees have examtned the charivs ￿quIrernents for reserves in light of the main risks to the
Organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested
In tangible flxed assets held by the charity should be between three and six month5 running costs.
Reserves have been built up over recent years through planned operating surpluses. As of 31 March
2024, the level of Un￿strICted reserves was £502,966 {2023: £586,007). After makSn8 allowan￿$ for
those unrestricted funds of £19,621 represented by fixed assets. and those represented by
designated funds, the remaining free reserves of the charity at 31 March 2024 were £407,345 {2023:
£441,853) which equates to 6 months of operatin8 expenditure at current levels.
The trustees have deslgnated £122,750 unrestricted reserves to meet rising accounting costs costs

Audltorfs responsibllltles for the audlt of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole ar8 free from
material misstatement. whelher due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditorfs r6POrt Ihat includes our opini￿.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAS (UK) will atways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can ari58 from fraud or emr and
are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economlc decisions of users laken on the basis of these financial ststements.
Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non<0mplian￿ with laws and regulations. We design pro¢etJures in line
with our responsibilities, outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, induding fraud.
The Specific procedures for this enga9emenl anrj the 6Xt8nt to which these are capable of detecting irregularilie5,
including fraud is detailed below..
We reviewed the compan￿$ control and risk management procedures and planned our work based on our
assessment of those controls and procedures,.
This revlew included an assessment of the risk of material misstatement due to error8, fraud and management
override of controls for all malerial areas in the financial statements.,
We made enquiries of management and the company's lavryers regarding any actual or potential liligation
andlor claim$',
Flnancial statements disclosures were reviewed and checked for compliance wÈlh applicable laws;
Detailed tes￿ng was conducted on balances and transactions including unusual items and those of individual
Significance to the financial slalements:
Daia analytics were used in order to tdentify unusual or 5ignifi.cant trends;
Communications with management and those Charg￿ wilh governan￿ regarding relevant matters was
undertaken throughout Ihe audit and on completion.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularitiès. Incr￿￿￿n9 those
leading to a material misstatem6nt in the financlal statements or non-compliance w¢th regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions ref￿¢ted in the
financial statements, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater
regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery,
¢ollusion. omission or misrepresentation.
