## **Trustees Annual Report for the period 1[st] January 2022 to 31[st] December 2022** ## **Durham Area Disability Leisure Group (DADLG) Charity Registration Number: 1049610** ## **Objectives and Activities:** The Charity’s objects are: The relief of persons with disabilities and in particular those who are children, resident in Durham and surrounding areas by the provision of facilities, for recreation or other leisure time occupations with the objects of improving their conditions of life and social welfare. With respect to the children, no age barriers are drawn, except for that which is specified in any funding streams secured in order to fulfil the Charity’s objects. In relation to the purposes carried out for the public benefit; activities, projects and services are provided to family units including parents and carers, siblings, and other family members as appropriate at the discretion of the Charity’s trustees. Relief is determined as those activities, events and projects which bring relief to the disabled person(s) and improve the general health and wellbeing and resilience of the family unit as a whole. In fulfilling the Charity’s objects through its services, Durham Area Disability Leisure Group’s trustees have regard for the Charity Commission’s advice and guidance, particularly in respect of the management of its funds. ## **Optional additional information (only relevant sections selected)** Volunteers, including trustees and activity volunteers make a huge contribution to fulfilling its objects, by supporting activities and events in person and by providing additional skills and expertise. ## **Achievements and Performance** As a family orientated organisation catering for children and young people with disabilities, their siblings and parents and carers, we aim to make a difference by offering families the opportunity to choose activities that they would like to try during evenings, weekends and in holiday periods covering as many interests as possible. We give young people a voice by creating opportunities for them to say what they would like to do, what they have enjoyed and what we could do to improve. Children and young people tell us they enjoy being part of the group and that they look forward to seeing familiar faces at activities. We are helping them to develop resilience and experience emotional well-being through a sense of belonging. During 2022 we returned fully to a programme of face-to-face activities and events. Having identified that a number of families who had taken part in our virtual offer throughout the pandemic were no longer participating, we realised that the barriers to participation they experienced pre-pandemic were evident again. These families were concentrated in particular to either particularly economically disadvantaged areas or remote areas of County Durham. With this is mind a successful bid was made to the National Lottery, Awards for All programme to attempt to address these barriers. During Easter and Summer school holidays we took part in the DFE funded ‘Fun and Food’ project and were contracted to provide a service to families where one or more children have a special educational need and/or disability. The key eligibility criterion was that children and young people should be in receipt of free school meals with a proviso that if a high proportion of them met this criterion, others with SEND not in receipt of free school meals could be included. The key difference in delivery during 2022 was the ability to provide a face-to-face service and events were held in all five localities of County Durham. The small but steady number of families outside of County Durham, referred to as our ‘wider membership’ continued to access services and we were also able to reintroduce an over 18’s club specifically for those young adults who wish to access a series of events aimed at their age group. This has proved extremely popular and is funded via contributions per person per event and donations from organisations for which we have been nominated by over 18 club members. ## **Financial Review** Full end of year audited accounts are available in conjunction with this report. At the end of 2022, the Charity was in a financially stable position with no concerns regarding its ability to operate throughout 2023. ## **Additional Optional Information** The Charity’s principal sources of funds are from successful contract tendering processes and bids made to organisations providing grant funds. Funding is not secured through any type of loan system. Grant makers are listed each year in the end of year accounts. The principal risks facing the organisation are the potential for funding streams to cease and the levels of capacity within the staff team. Throughout 2023, trustees will be focusing on building capacity and succession planning in order to secure the long term future of the organisation. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** Type of governing document: Group Constitution At the Annual General Meeting each year, the individual members elect from amongst themselves a Chair, an Honorary Secretary and an Honorary Treasurer, who hold office from the conclusion of the meeting. The management committee shall have no less than 6 and no more than 13 members. All members retire from office at the AGM after they came into office but may be re-elected or re-appointed. Members of the management committee may not act as a member of the committee until minutes declaring their election or willingness to act in the trusts of the charity have been signed. The powers held by the management committee and specified in the Group Constitution, may only be exercised in the furtherance of the group’s objects. ## **Additional Optional Information** Policies and procedures adopted include those required for safeguarding purposes, financial management, health and safety and trustees’ codes of conduct. A full list of policy and procedure documents is available on request. ## **The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works.** The Charity has a close working relationship with Durham County Council for whom it provides a funded Countywide Family Short Breaks Service for families with disabled children up to the age of 25 and living within County Durham postcode areas. All other families over the age of 25, regardless of where they live and those of all ages in areas surrounding County Durham are funded separately. |**Names of the charity trustees who managed the charity in 2022**|**Names of the charity trustees who managed the charity in 2022**| |---|---| |Steven Gascoigne|Chairman| |Kaye Murray|Deputy Chair| |Pamela Norman|Treasurer| |Ann Young|| |Linda Davison|| |Louise Burdon|| |Christina Toner|| |**Names of the staff who carry out the functions of the charity.**|| |Lesley Clelland|Project Manager| |Colleen Kirton|Activity Co-ordinator/ Meeting Minute
