This is an area for future development and investment as more of the community have the means to access
digital services, however we are cognisant of the fact that many of our elderly custom¢rs do not hav¢ access
to digital routes to services. This is of conc¢rn and this year w¢ ar¢ committing to working with thos¢ who
need support in learning how to use technology. This includes both employers and employees in the care
work force.
The investment in our own use of upgraded technology in the way we use, and store data has been an
interesling journey. Any challenges have been worthwhile, in the way that we can support both customers
and fundeTS effectively.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims
W¢ review our aims, objectives. and activities each year. This review looks at achievements and outcomes of
our work in the year 2023124 nd the benefit it has brought to the groups of people that we are serving. W¢
have referred to the Charity Commissions Guidance on public benefit when reviewing and planning our
future.
How we deliver our aims
The DRC is a disability centric organisation for disabled people, their families, carers and health and social
care professionals who work with th¢m.
Core services are funded by local authorities and integrated care boards and other agencies. Income is
reviewed every year and as the amount of ￿ndIThg decreases in real ternis we aim to fill any shortfall through
social entery)rise, grant funding and fundraising. This has been a continuing challenge as the post pandemic
¢ra and the ensuing cost of living crisis brought additional challenges to those with disability and health
conditions and our funders.
Public benefit
The Trustees have reviewed the activities of the charity and consider that in line with the charity's objects,
the charity provides public benefit in a variety of ways including strength-based solutions. This is achieved
through Providing accessible infonnation and advice regarding independent living, living with a health
condition, managing self-care and any otller factor that is impacting on the person, no matt¢r how
insignificant it may initially appear. Often this can include a situational assessment, which may include a
financial check to ensure that the person is receiving any welfare or social benefits that they are entitled to.
The cornerstones to our services are professional, emotional, and practical support and a shared
understanding of the individual and family need, followed up by a support plan relevant to the nature of the
situation. Where necessary a referral is mad¢ to other services and followed up with the individual as to the
impact this made. Independence is a stated aim of all services.
The Charity is open to seIf-refe￿al and services are delivered irrespective of age, race gender, religion,
sexual orientatiotL or disability. Most of the charity's s¢Tvic¢s ar¢ provided without charge to the individual
benefJ¢iary.
Volunteers
In addition to a dedicated staff team of 21 staff we have rctain¢d th¢ number of volunteers who are regularly
active to 8. Thi5 reduction is due to the lack of space in the Mayfield Centre. All Volunteers have a training
and development plan, allowing us to concentrate on this important area and improve their chances of
finding paid employment if they wish. Volunteers ar¢ particularly active in the "Warni hub" in the winter
months.
Volunteering helps people who donate their time f¢¢1 more socially connected, our volunteers are older or
disabled people and work in the team that fits their skills and aspirations.

fulfil their potential and aspirations. We exist so that people hav¢ somewhere to turn to if they feel alon¢ and
need help in any situation and know we arc here. We provide holistic support covering all areas that our
service-users require and where we cannot support directly, we would connect them to wider services. We
provide emotional and practical support with a shared understanding of the individual and family need.
In 2023124 the DRC has been ￿nded from contracts with Sta￿tOry bodies (NHS) and Local Authorities"
grant funders (including Skills foT Care, Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation, Sports England

Ov¢rall, in the year 2023-24 we serviced 19,503 local enquiries which came from telephone, web mail, drop
in and face to face. Enquiries were across a wide range of disability and health related issues and often were
made by the Carer or family member of the persoll. This was particulaTly relevant to the w¢b ¢nquiries.
DISABILITY ADVICE SERVICES
3,31 l Advice Service issues were dealt with by phone or face to face, this is in line with the previous year
and this is du¢ to more self- help infonnation, and videos being availabl¢ on the website. This is an ar¢a

digital inclusion strategies.

Equipment and independent Eiving aids advice features heavily as the reason for visiting the centre and are
fulfilled by staff who are trained as trusted assessors. Usual service has been resumed with retailing of aids
and hire of aids from the shop in the Mayfield building.
This service is part funded by the Integrated Care Board in Bedfordsbire, Luton and Milton Keynes and is
recognised as being fundamental in prevention of use of acute care services and assisting discharge from
acute services. Th¢ difference between purchasing an aid from the DRC, and other retailers, is the provision
of an assessment as to the circumstances which lead to the purchase, as this can unearth a whole story, which
we can assist with in emotional and practical ways. We continue to operate this model, and it allows us to
provide a fully holistic person-centred approach in everything we do.
Central Bedfordshire Outreach Service.. The DRC take services out into the con)munity to provide
ac¢essibility and engage with the harder to reach clients. The service is promoted and delivered across
Bedfordshire. We have been extremely busy attending different partner events and worked with CBC Adult
Social Care and community engagement team to understand the best method in satisfying the needs of
Tesid¢nts.

THE DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTRE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
This year. the number of 107 hires in the year was down on the previous year.
EQUIPMENT SALES
Sales were steady this year with second hand equipment being very popular in tern]s of donations of kit and
customers appreciation of not needing to buy a new item if they didn't want to do so.
This service was badly affected by the flood in August 23 and subsequent closure of the unit in March.
DONATIONS
We were very grateful to receive £5,448 in donations, these were from the always supportive Mayor of
Dunstable Liz Jones and also private individuals, we thank them so much for their kindness.
ADVICE CENTRAL
We responded to 1,252 enquiTes that came in via the Advice Central line and outreach events. We are
working closely with the council to understand th¢ need of th¢ residents wh¢n offering this partnership
approach to delivering infonnation, advice and guidance on social welfare in the geographical areas.
CARERS CENTRAL provided to Carers in Luton on behalf of Luton Council.
This service goes from strength- to -str¢ngth y¢ar on year and we are heavily involved in supporting the
implementation of the new carers strategy in Luton. We serviced 1,149 enquiries from Carers working to
provide medium to intensive support to 406 carers in our small team.
EXPERTS BY EXPERIENCE
We have a disability user panel to advise us and others on their needs based on their own lived experienc¢ in
addition to pe¢T SUPPOrt groups which are more specific in theme.
With space being very limited at the Mayfield Centre we have held many online meetings to ensure that
these continued through the extended period of the pandemic. Coffee mornings are now regular and
effectively facilitated. The views expressed dwing the meeting are shared by perniission of the attendees
with relevant authorities. This year they contributed to the Joint needs ass¢ssm¢nt, sports surveys and many
other interesting surveys.
COMMUNITY SERVICES - Community Central
A year project on behalf of the Fairness collaboration project. This was an incredibly success￿1 partn¢rship
project working in areas of health inequalities and consisting of bringing together different partners that were
needed by the Luton resident to help solve tbeir concern. Main partners were Sight Concern, Community
needs and STOP in Luton. We d¢liv¢red this out of community venues to 1,118 participants.
The feedback from ¢ustom¢rs demonstrated that they were very happy with th¢ s¢rvi¢e. The university of
Bedfordshire arc currently evaluating this with a view to how succ¢ssful it was overall.
Premises 2023124
We continue to operate out of InteTim premises, The Rufus Centre in Flitwick and Mayfield Centre in
Dunstable. Our Mayfield C¢ntr¢ services our community focussed projects, and all back-offic¢ operations
take place at the Rufus Centre. A massive flood effectively stopped the sales and hire of independent living
equiprnent in August. Efforts were made to try and recreate the shop a5 It was, however, the damage was too
sev¢r¢. The landlords then condemned the unit the following March. Tlll's contributed significantly towards
the financial loss this year, as staff were retained whilst w¢ tried to resolve the sithation without associated
income.
We are now reliant solely on the limited space at the Mayfield Centre and this is causing on going issues.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial revie
Financial position
The charity closed the year with a deficit of £82,906, priM￿lIY due to decr¢ased income from major public
sector funders, including reduced contracts and grants. Our income. which stood at £812,000 in March 2023.
fell to £695,000 in March 2024. This decline has been an ongoing challenge, further exacerbated by the end
of pandemic-related grants that had previously helped bridge budgetary gaps.
A contributing factor was a severe flood caused by sewage in our retail unit, which sold both new and
second-hand equipment. Typically. funds from this social ¢nterpris¢ cover budget shortfalls, but the impact
of the flood was considerable. The unit was temporarily closed for months as we assessed the damage, and
despite efforts to maintain operations-including retaining staff and inCu￿1ng storage cost5-th¢ decision was
ultimately made to close the unit pernian¢ntly du¢ to th¢ prohibitiv¢ costs of repair.
Additional expenses from this disruption, aEong with increased salary costs related to the Tising cost of living
and mandatory pay scales, contributed to the deficit and reduced cash res¢rves. These factors, although
challenging, remain essential to retaining a skilled and committed workforce. By year-end, we implemented
cost-saving measures, including a necessary redundancy process, which resulted in the difflcult loss of five
valued team members. These changes bave positioned us to reduce office spac¢ requirem¢nts, thereby
loweTing our r¢ntal Costs in th¢ m¢dium t¢rni.
Encouragingly, we saw a 49 % decTeasc in dcbtors from 2023. While the reduced income level naturally led
to fewer outstanding debts, our impToved debt collection has provided u5 Wlth gr¢ater cash availability.
Liabilities also decreased by 62.60/0, and, despite the year's challenges, our reserves remain strong, giving
trustees confidence that the charity has sufficient funds to continue meeting its obligations.
Looking ahead our ￿tUre financial goals are as follows..
Reduce debtors: with the enhanced data provided by our CRM system and dedicated customer care support,
we will continue to conv¢rt mor¢ receivables into cash.
Increase income: we plan to grow income by addressing health in¢qualities, helping funders achieve their
strategic objectives with cost-effectiv¢ services. Additionally, we aim to expand our chargeable services as
public sector funding to charities continues to decrease.
Leverage cash reserves.. as interest rates OTh savings improv¢, we have partnered with an asset management
provider to inv¢st som¢ of our cash r¢scrves to g¢n¢rate additional income.
Strengthen partnerships with funders; We are working closely with major fi￿derS to align our services
with their strat¢gic goals, which should enhance funding stability and support the growth of our chargeable
services.
Prudent cost manag¢m¢nt". w¢ will continue to car¢fully manage costs in line with income levels, ensuring
the charity remains financially resilient.
The truste¢s remain ¢ommitt¢d to th¢ charity's financial h¢alth, confident in its ability to meet liabilities as
they fall du¢ and Continu¢ its vital work in the community.

22. HOLDING ACCOUNTS
The charity operates 'holding accounts, in Luton, Central Bedfordshire, Bedford Borough, Oxfordshire
and Northampton as part of its 'Direct Payments, scheme. The charity has no legal entitlement to the
ownership of these accounts and is merely acting as an intenrA¢diary agent to receive ￿ndS and
distribute them under instructions from the benefit recipient. As a result thesc holding accounts ar¢ not
r¢flected in th¢ Statement of Financial Activiti¢s or the Balance Sheet of the charity. At the balance
sheet date the remaining accounts amounted to £1,437,586 (2023.. £1,238,761).
23. GOING CONCERN
The charity's monthly forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonabl¢ possible changes in
trading perfonnance and historic seasonal trends, show that they are able to operate within the level of
its CUTT¢nt facility.
Therefore the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to
continue in operational exist¢llc¢ for the foreseeable futur¢ and they continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
