## Report of the Trustees of Everyone Can for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Board of Trustees administers the charity. They have the power to invest the Charity’s unrestricted income as they see fit and have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. 

The Board meets quarterly to oversee the strategy and operation of the Charity. The day to day management is the responsibility of the General Manager. 

## **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.

## Report of the Trustees of Everyone Can for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Our Impact in 2024/25** 

## **Our Inclusive Gaming Sessions** 

Throughout 2024/25, Everyone Can continued to grow and support a thriving inclusive community of disabled children, adults and families. Over the year we ran 199 gaming sessions, with 5,177 free tickets booked for 350 children from 233 families, as well as 85 disabled adults. Our centre remains equipped with a wide range of games, adaptive controllers, VR stations, driving rigs and inclusive infrastructure, ensuring that everyone can take part regardless of ability. These sessions are more than entertainment. They offer social connection, confidence building, new friendships and a sense of belonging. For many, attending weekly provides a safe and welcoming space where disability is simply part of who they are and part of our community. For the parents and families, the sessions offer extremely valued opportunities for respite and connecting with other families. 

## **Technology Assessments and Training** 

In 2024/25, we carried out 115 assistive technology and access assessments, helping individuals find the adaptations or control methods they need to play, communicate or engage with technology. Our centre provides the ideal environment 

for this work, with a broad range of hardware and software to explore. Many assessments become the first step in transforming gaming, and sometimes everyday computing, from something out of reach into something accessible and empowering. Alongside assessments, we trained more than 100 individuals to use adapted hardware and software during centre visits and gaming sessions. For some, this included ongoing digital skills support, such as helping a blind participant learn to use mobile phone accessibility features so he could access his contacts and the internet independently.

## Report of the Trustees of Everyone Can for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Research, Development and Industry Awareness** 

Our core mission continues to be innovation through assistive technology. We design and make bespoke devices that enable disabled people to access gaming, and our centre remains the first of its kind with games consoles, VR, driving simulators, giant screens and custom adaptations all under one roof and accessible to a wide range of ages and disabilities. This year, we delivered 13 awareness sessions for organisations including Google, Tencent, Manchester Metropolitan University, FIFAe and TalkTalk. These sessions allowed us to demonstrate barriers that disabled people face and influence accessibility in future products. We also held workshops with game design students to help embed inclusive design principles early in their careers. 

## **Volunteering and Community Support** 

Our work continues to be supported by a highly dedicated group of volunteers. In 2024/25, 12 volunteers contributed 1,556 hours of unpaid support. They help facilitate gaming sessions, support participants one to one, provide technical assistance and contribute to wider community engagement. Several of our volunteers are disabled themselves, and their own development highlights the strength of our community. One volunteer with agoraphobia gained enough confidence to leave the centre independently. Another told us their mental health had significantly improved since joining. 

## **What Our Work Achieved** 

Our sessions offered a unique space where disabled and neurodiverse individuals, siblings, parents and carers could come together, play, socialise and build lasting friendships. Feedback from families reinforces this impact. 78 per cent reported improved wellbeing, 58 per cent reported making new friends and 96 per cent described their experience as fun, with many calling the sessions amazing. Families repeatedly tell us that their children feel comfortable and accepted in ways that other activities do not offer.

Everyone Can 

## Report of the Trustees of Everyone Can for the year ended 31 March 2025 

Empowerment through technology continued to be a major outcome of our work. Many participants who had previously been excluded from gaming were able to play independently or collaboratively for the first time. One profoundly disabled adult, after months of developing a new control method, played his first ever team game, celebrating alongside new friends in what his family described as a monumental moment. 

Parents and carers also benefited, using our centre as a place to relax, connect with others and share experiences. For many, seeing their children take part in group activities, build confidence and enjoy equal access to play brings immense emotional value. 

Our voice within the technology and gaming sector strengthened this year as we demonstrated accessible design in practice, shared barriers faced by our community and advocated for more inclusive games and technology. 

## Financial Review 

Total income for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £160,375, with expenditure totalling £199,246. 

## **Reserves** 

The free reserves of £108,702 represent approximately five months of current running costs of the Charity to function efficiently and to approach donors. 

## **Thanks** 

We record our gratitude to the Trusts, Foundations, companies and individuals that enable the Charity to help disabled people to lead more independent, less isolated lives through technology.

## Looking to the Future 

Demand for our sessions, assessments and training continues to grow. In the coming year, the introduction of our Quiet Gaming Zone will help us better support those who struggle with noise or sensory overload. Plans to expand seating and facilities for parents will further enhance comfort and accessibility. 

As we move forward, our commitment remains the same. We aim to empower disabled and neurodiverse people with the technology, support and community they need to play, connect and thrive. Gaming should not be a privilege. It should be a path to independence, social inclusion and belonging for everyone. We will look to expand our work with other organisations nationally so that even more people benefit. 

## Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Everyone Can for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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. 

## **Members' liability** 

The Trustees have considered the need for Trustee Indemnity Insurance and have decided not to take up such insurance. 

## **Risk** 

The Trustees actively review the major risks that face the Charity. They believe that the key financial systems are in place and that appropriate internal control is maintained for an organisation of its size and complexity.

## _Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year ended 31 March 2025_ 

## **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.

## _Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year ended 31 March 2025_ 

## **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.

## **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.
