The Charity
Everyone Can is a small charity dedicated to meeting the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) challenges facing disabled people, as stated in its governing document. The charity is a public benefit entity and the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Correctly used, digital technology can allow disabled people to access services as well as participate in society on more equal terms. In this way, technology can dramatically enhance their lives. We have developed the Services of Everyone Can to take advantage of modern computer technology and so help severely disabled people to achieve their potential.
We carry out extensive and ongoing research into both mainstream and special needs technology, we are able to specialise and focus purely within this area. Through our knowledge of the difficulties that are often faced by disabled people and with our up to date knowledge of the technology available, we are able to apply the technology to the needs of a disabled person, focusing on their individual needs.
Charity Aims
The charity gives disabled people the help they need to use technology to communicate learn work play and be more independent and develop their potential. This enables them to play a part in the decisions that affect their lives.
The charity helps disable people with physical, cognitive and sensory conditions and people with neurological conditions.
The trustee's policy is to focus support to young disadvantage to people with severe disabilities and conditions for whom are help can have the greatest impact.
The Charity’s Services
Everyone can believe that our services should help society where state support does not exist. This is why we now concentrate our focus on video gaming and explore how video gaming can have positive impacts on the lives of disabled people. Whilst disabled people use our gaming services, we discuss and explore other technologies that can help their lives, such as communication and education.

Our Services in 2023/24
Gaming Sessions
We now have over 500 registered members, adding 82 new attendees this year. We have a capacity of 60 people at each gaming session, with up to 30 gamers playing at any one time.
5,185 free tickets were ordered for the 207 gaming sessions we ran.
Technology Assessments
We have carried out 129 technology assessments. Finding a } technical solution for people to play, communicate and work. With people being able to attend our gaming sessions weekly, we can continually assess them, making sure that the adaptations we provide are the best solution for them.

Research and Development
We have designed multiple bespoke electronic devices, designed to give access for disabled people to play games. These devices, fully tested by our community, are being made available to anyone who needs them.
We have also designed and built accessible gaming stations for Google, to help demonstrate to the technology sector how people who can’t use standard control methods are able to play. These stations have been replicated in their offices worldwide.
Our Volunteering Program
This year, we have been supported by 22 volunteers, providing 3,060 hours of unpaid support. Including 10 disabled volunteers who have gained social and practical confidence to support others.
This is the equivalent of having two extra full-time staff.

The Outcomes of our Work
An inclusive community built on fun, for everyone
Many of the disabled individuals we serve face limited or nonexistent social outlets due to barriers imposed by their disabilities or conditions, such as mobility, communication challenges, or anxiety. We offer an activity that eliminates these barriers, opening a world of play enjoyed by millions globally.
Our community is unique. Apart from being the only inperson gaming community of its kind, we can include everyone, no matter what their disability or condition. Our community is built around a shared love for gaming, delivering friendships and a feeling of being part of society.
Technology assessments – closing the divide
For many disabled people, gaming is just another activity that they can’t be part of. Yet another example of segregation and a blow to their mental health. With our help, we can have them join in, alongside others and so increase their feeling of self-worth. We also carry out a thorough audit of assistive technology solutions for each person we meet, to see if there are other solutions that can help in addition to play, such as writing, talking and controlling their environment.
Supporting families
Parents can unwind in our café area, taking the opportunity to manage personal tasks, socialize with other parents, make friendships, gain support, and share experiences with other parents. Siblings are welcome to join in the fun, enhancing the inclusivity of our service. We engage the entire family in our activities.

Everyone Can
Our volunteers are the beating heart of our community
We have a small but highly dedicated and skilled paid workforce, complemented by a large team of volunteers. Most volunteers assist with our gaming sessions, ensuring smooth operations and participant satisfaction. Some volunteers provide one-on-one support. The outcomes for our volunteers are many, such as a feeling of giving back to the community, improving employment prospects and making friends.
Volunteers also manage our social media, engage with parents, and gather feedback on our performance, ensuring that Everyone Can continues to meet the needs of our community.
Our work with Industry
We continue to reach out to those involved in developing games, to promote accessibility. Now that we have a sizeable community of gamers, with a wide variety of disabilities, we can share our experiences with those who make games. Exploring the barriers that games can have for some people, to help remove them, so that the games can be played by a wider, more inclusive audience.

Looking to the Future
The effects of the pandemic, although severe, now seem to have passed. However, higher inflation means costs are increasing. The General Manager will continue to look at ways of reducing expenditure where possible, including reducing energy use. We will also continue to monitor developments in other sectors that could help our service offerings. We want to create links with people and organisations leading technology development so we can understand what is happening in the sector, how it can help disabled people and influence design for their benefit.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies which are adopted consistently in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
1.1 Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011, and Update Bulletin 1, Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the Charity, as a small reporting entity is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under Update Bulletin 1, Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Company status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 10 Ironmonger Lane, London, England, EC2V 8EY. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 3. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
1.3 Going concern
In assessing whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the trustees have considered future cash flows, particularly taking into consideration future grants which have already been committed to the charity by donors.
As at the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the signing date of the financial statements. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern basis was not appropriate.
1.4 Fund accounting
The Charity’s unrestricted funds consist of funds which the Charity may use for its purposes at its discretion.
The Charity has restricted funds which are available for expenditure in accordance with donors’ directions or subject to the specific terms of an appeal.
Transfers are executed between funds when adequate justification and supporting evidence is provided.
14
Everyone Can
1.5 Income
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, except for grants and donations where the donor:
(a) specifies that donations and grants given to the Charity must be used in future accounting periods, in which case the income is deferred until those periods;
(b) imposes conditions which have to be fulfilled before the Charity becomes entitled to use such income, in which case the income is deferred on a time apportioned basis and not included in incoming resources until the pre-conditions for use have been met.
Intangible income is not included unless it represents goods or services which would have otherwise been purchased. Gifts in kind are included at market value and as resources expended at the same value when distributed.
Grants from organisations have been included as income from charitable activities in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives where these amount to a contract of services, but as donations where the money is given in response to an appeal or with greater freedom of use.
Government grants - where there are no performance conditions relating to the receipt of the grant, the grant revenue is recognised when received
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is allocated between expense headings and funds as follows:
Payroll costs – on the basis of time spent on charitable activities and fundraising.
Depreciation – according to fixed asset usage by the charitable activities and fundraising on a percentage basis.
Overheads – office expenses are allocated by desk space and the remaining overheads are allocated on an actual cost basis.
Fundraising costs include the salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of the staff who promote the fundraising.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include the independent examination fee and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.
15
Everyone Can
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
All assets are examined annually for potential impairment and any material reductions in value are written down at the year end.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Assessment centre equipment - 50% straight line
1.8 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
1.9 Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against incoming resources on a straight line basis over the lease term.
