Strategic Report

Chairmans Message

Despite the considerable continuing Covid-related challenges during 2021, DI kept our people safe and well, although many were dealing with some very difficult issues. Clients, their families, and carers showed outstanding fortitude during this period of turbulence, which was truly inspiring.

The DI Team’s commitment and resourcefulness were extraordinary and as ever they demonstrated professionalism, resilience, agility and above all, everyone involved with DI showed extraordinary compassion, kindness and consideration towards others.

DI continued to solve problems and facilitate interventions to help our clients and their families.

Accolades for DI’s contribution to the community were received from The Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, and The High Sheriff who presented, to all the team, in the presence of our Patron, The Countess of Wessex.

We were incredibly proud that DI was held up as a beacon by the Tavistock Institute when it published its review of outstanding Leadership and Management, shown throughout the pandemic.

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Staff attendance levels throughout 2021 were remarkable. Whilst many Health and Social Care organisations were reporting high sickness levels, low morale and burnout, DI remained buoyant, and tenacious with nonrelated Covid sickness levels at less than 0.6% for the year. Even with Covid it was less than 1%. This is testimony to their dedication and well-being and to the protocols we applied from our Strategic Risk Analysis alongside compliance with Government and NHS guidelines.

It’s easy to lose track now of the lockdown periods imposed during 2021 because of Covid, but the year began with a third period of lockdown from 6[th] January, followed in February with the Government’s ‘roadmap’ for easing us out of it and towards normality. In March there was a gradual relaxation of restrictions on numbers gathering outdoors, but it wasn’t until May that social gatherings had the ‘rule of 6’ and indoor venues could reopen subject to control measures being applied. Despite this, DI Resource Centres in Camberley & Fleet were experiencing 95% Covid secure attendance whilst 5% received visits from Keyworkers or volunteers on our hybrid Outreach programme. DI’s dynamic service model, that we developed in 2020, had evolved into our new ‘normal’.

A significant accomplishment in DI’s success story was getting our Keyworkers recognised as ‘essential workers’ within the NHS Health & Social Care Framework in 2020. This enabled us to continue with our hybrid service during the 2021 lockdown periods, but it also qualified our team to be amongst the first recipients of the Covid vaccine programme which the Government had started to roll out from March 2021. Recognition as an ‘essential service’ also enabled the continued acquisition of personal protective equipment (PPE) from Government stock (delivered by the Fire Service) and Covid testing kits from ‘Track & Trace’.

All staff, volunteers and clients had been vaccinated and boosted and were taking regular PCR tests as part of our Infection Prevention & Control policy.

We have had the new windows and boiler installed and also received grants from Hampshire and Surrey County Councils from the Infection Prevention Grant. In line with the funds, we installed Infection Prevention Control measures i.e. touch-free door openers and dispensers throughout buildings as well as a room divider in Fleet.

We are currently obtaining quotes to refurbish both Camberley and Fleet outside areas to create “Wellbeing gardens” for our clients. Fortunately, Swinley Golf Course have offered DI a Charity Day in April 2022, so hopefully that will enable us to raise funds towards this project.

As shown in the Financial Report, we were pleased to end 2021 in a much stronger financial position than was forecast, due to prudent accounting and charitable donations and grants.

We recently submitted an application to The National Lottery for the “Adept” Project. This would enable DI to bring in sessional specialist tutors to enhance the skills and abilities of all involved with the Charity. If successful, this will be an ground breaking development that will have a very positive long term impact.

We hope that 2022 will bring about some stability and continued progress , but what we know is that regardless, DI will continue to do all in its power to ensure people with disabilities get the support they need to thrive.

Mr R N Ricketts

Trustee’s Report

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

The Trustees, who are Directors for the purposes of Company Law, present the Annual Report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31[st] December, 2021.

Objectives and Activities

Objectives of The Board

At the beginning of 2021, the prime objective was to sustain the dynamic hybrid service model that had evolved for us in 2020, keeping our clients safe and well in what were still fluid and uncertain times. As the year unfolded and the country was gradually emerging from a third lockdown period which had begun in early January, the Board held a Strategic Meeting on 2[nd] July 2021 to set out Objectives for the next 12-18 months. These were chosen after reflecting on lessons learned from the Covid pandemic.

Business & Service Model, Camberley:

Clients strongly welcomed and benefitted from this approach. It continued to allow staff to provide a resilient, flexible response, supporting clients and their families when other services had shut down. Hub-based activities with outreach, including home assessment, has proven to be the way forward for DI as our new ‘normal’.

Business & Service Model, Fleet:

The new satellite centre at Fleet has worked well, delivering proof of concept and successfully meeting growing demand from Hampshire clients and commissioners. It is affordable, sustainable and beneficial for users.

We now have a Senior Keyworker with on-site responsibility as Co-ordinator for service delivery at Fleet, leading his team of fellow Keyworkers and volunteers, as required.

Discharge and Rehabilitation Pathway, Frimley Park Hospital:

This is key to joint service development with NHS providers and funders, and throughout 2021 relationships were established despite ongoing Covid challenges. DI is working with NHS colleagues towards becoming an integral part of the Integrated Care Pathway (ICP).

Staffing

Everyone at DI has worked flexibly and intensively to support clients during extraordinarily challenging times. They’ve remained motivated and were fully supported. The Trustee Board awarded honorariums to the Team in recognition of their outstanding work and commitment to the Charities purpose throughout the Pandemic. The Chief Executive has also reviewed DI’s policies for recruitment, retention and staff development, whilst the incoming Chairman is preparing a succession plan for Trustees and in the longer term, for the Chief Executive.

Funding :

6

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Hampshire emerged as our major funder and during 2021 and we continue to build on this relationship. All Local Authorities and NHS commissioners face increasing financial constraints and so DI has reaffirmed how its services are beneficial to their users and carers, helping to avoid re-admission to hospital, residential care or family breakdown. To assist in demonstrating the cost-effectiveness, we have begun to develop costed casestudies which show the substantial avoidable costs to the Health and Social Care and the considerable benefits clients and their families experience when accessing DI.

Marketing :

Plans are underway for the Countess of Wessex to host an event at Bagshot Park, probably for DI’s 50[th] Anniversary. The Tavistock Institute’s review of outstanding leadership & management during the pandemic has created greater awareness of DI amongst opinion formers and funders.

Risk Management:

The risk assessment and contingency plans for a cyber attack have been completed, whilst the watching brief is ongoing. We have subsequently implemented a NAS and AZURE Cloud based off-site solution. An RDX back up would have been preferable, but there is limited supply in the UK at this time, which would have rendered us vulnerable for up to 6 months.

Medium-term:

Collaboration with Commercial and other Organisations:

7

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

DI is continuing to develop relationships and opportunities with organisations offering support services or technologies to DI.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity commission of England and Wales.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

Disability Initiative (DI) is a company limited by guarantee registered in England. Its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission, and in the event of the company being wound-up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

The charity’s articles provide for day-to-day management of the charity to be delegated to the Chief Executive and is overseen by a board of over 2 and up to 11 trustees. A trustee may be appointed by Ordinary Resolution or by a simple majority of all the trustees entitled to attend and vote at any meeting of the trustees. A trustee shall hold office until the end of the first meeting of the trustees following the third anniversary of their appointment. A trustee shall be permitted to stand for re-election for a further three year term and if reelected shall serve until the end of the first meeting of the trustees following the sixth anniversary of their appointment.

If a trustee has a special skill or experience they may be invited by the other trustees to stand for re-election for a further term of between one and three years as specified by the trustees. In this case they shall serve until the end of the first meeting of the trustees following either the first, second or third anniversary of their re-election. No one person may serve as a trustee of the charity for more than nine years without a break of at least three calendar years.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The board seeks to recruit trustees who have experience in the areas of disability or who bring needed professional skills in the broader areas of health, care, education or administration. The existing trustees then vote and elect the trustee in waiting to the board. Subsequently an induction programme is implemented. This will include time at the Resource Centre with members and staff, governance responsibility and general familiarity with the organisation and its operations. All trustees are DBS and reference checked.

Induction and training of trustees

The trustees are conscious of the need to maintain an appropriate balance in complementary skills that they offer in their work with the charity. Therefore, whenever a vacancy arises, substantial consideration is given to the knowledge, skills and experience that might be required in any new trustee when drawing up a new trustee profile. This also requires a regular review of the skills of the board.

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Disability Initiative for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must only approve the financial statements when they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company, of its incoming and application of resources, including its income and expenditure. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Auditor

Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

The auditor is deemed to have been appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Disability Initiative

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Disability Initiative (the 'charitable parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet, , Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the JSAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated . lf we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

10

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Disability Initiative

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities [set out on page 11], the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with JSAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

11

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Disability Initiative

involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable parent company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we

might state to the group's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable parent company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee without share capital, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Resource Centre, Knoll Road, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3SY.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the company being wound up, every member at that date and any member who has ceased to be a member in the previous twelve months will be liable to meet the net debts and liabilities (contracted before he or she ceases to be a member) up to a maximum contribution of £1.

2. Accounting Policies

Summary of significant account policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies apples in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015 – Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

Basis of preparation

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Basis of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the results and position of the subsidiary undertaking on a line by line basis in both the Statement of Financial Activities (including income and expenditure account) and the Balance Sheet. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Statement of Cash Flows for the charity has not been presented because the group has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

Going Concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

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.

17

Notes to the Financial Statements

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

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. The amounts shown in the accounts are net of VAT.

Interest income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Expenditure

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. They do not include the costs of disseminating publicity and information about the charity's day-to-day disability services. These fundraising costs are:

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.

Most expenditure for the Group relates to charitable activities and consists of direct and indirect expenses of running services for the disabled clients at the Resource Centre in Surrey.

Support costs

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been reported in those expenditure categories. Other support costs which are not attributable to any one activity are apportioned across expenditure categories on an appropriate basis. Staff costs are allocated on the basis of time estimates, property costs are allocated on the floor area utilised and other costs are allocated on estimates of usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with the constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Tangible fixed assets

All assets costing over £250 are considered for capitalisation subject to considerations as to the likely useful life of each item.

18

Notes to the Financial Statements

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Heritage assets

Heritage assets are measured under the revaluation model and are revalued at each reporting date.

The very long expected lives of heritage assets, due to their natures, value and need to be protected and preserved means that depreciation is not material and is, therefore, not provided.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Trade creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a contractual obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third part and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measure or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their contractual amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Fund Structure

Unrestricted funded are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the trustees for a particular purpose. The aims and uses of each designated fund are set out in the detailed notes to these financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for a particular purpose. Expenditure that meets these criteria is charged to each fund, together with the direct costs of raising such funds, as explained in the resources expended policy. The aims and uses of each significant restricted fund are set out in the detailed notes to these financial statements.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or construction obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Recognition and measurement

A financial asset of financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

19

Notes to the Financial Statements

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

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.

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 has the impairment not previously been recognised.

Impairment

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Disability Initiative year ended 31 December 2021

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:

Restricted Funds

All other restricted grants and donations relating to the original constructions cost of the Resource Centre are held within this fund. These appeals are now closed. All outgoings relate entirely to depreciation.

In 2001, the Charity embarked upon a project for the establishment of a Specialist Rehabilitation service, which received start-up funding from the Big Lottery Fund. Project funding came to an end in February 2004. Since, some of the funding was spent on capital equipment, depreciation charges will continue to be made against the fund for a few more years, until the fund is fully utilised.

During 2015 the Charity received fund for the purchase of 3 Motomed devices and related accessories. These funds are to be held in a separate restricted fund until the equipment has been fully depreciated or disposed of.

As part of its continuing work, the charity seeks support from both the general public and other donors in the financing of its activities and its specialist equipment. When funds are received in response to specific requests, they are held in separate restricted funds until they have been spent or, if a fixed asset is purchased, until that asset has been fully depreciated.

Unrestricted Funds

Within the unrestricted funds, in view of the expected maintenance needs of the Resource Centre over the short to medium term, the trustees have elected to maintain a designated fund to represent the cash set aside to meet these future costs as they arise.
