Where applicable. the Chartty consults employees or their ￿PresentatIveS on a regular basis so that the y￿wS of employees can be taken into account in making decisions that are likely lo affect their interest.

A steering group of volunteers on the Autism Spectnjm are helping to make all our events more inclusive and aulism friendly. Strategic R¢port In the year ended 31 August 2021, performance of Ihe Charity had Shown a deterioration which the Trustees and Leadership Team had recognised bul were also aware Ihal performance in the short term would be equally challenging. The results for the year to 31 August 2021. an¢J before considering the ￿ValUationS in 2021, sh¢)w a significant reduction bul again reflect these thallenging conditions. Management continues lo be resolved to address the issues that are currently affecting performance. At the lime of this report, internal challenges a￿ being addressed. We are over a year into our Strategic Plan which highlights the importance that has been placed on the financial performance of the Charity. Extemal factors relating to increasing salary costs will continue to be a Challenge parti¢ularty when there is the inconsistency of fee income increases from the Local Authorities lo address this challenge. In￿ased Agency costs due to the effec15 on staff health due to the Covid situation have also contributed lo eosts. During the financial year there was again an inerease in School seNi￿s income reflecting the fact that pupil numbers were slightly higher than the preceding ￿e1Ve months. Adult Services income was also slightly higher than the previous year and tt)is was a consequence of filling vuds within the servits. Additionally, eosts were hNJher across all services again reflecting increased salary costs that have been borne principally as a consequence of Nats'onal Living and Minimum Wage {NMWI legislats"on. As a consequence. a surplus of £202,00012020.. £96,000 Deficit) for Adult Services and a svrplus of £761,00012020'. £44,000) for the School were recorded. These resulls are after considering a pro rata share of the Central Business SeNices result, based on turnover. During the year the School SeNices all funC￿ned from the EwJhl Ash Green site and there were no openings or closures within Adult SeThices. Welfare Rights and Corporate Appointee services have been induded in our Chartlable Semces, along with Fundraising and Marketing. Extemal Training and Diagnostics to better reflect the split betsyeen the not-for- profit services provided to L¢)cal Authorities and those that are prowded directly by the Charity lo the wider Aulislie community. The financing costs of the loans for the year decreased by a further £20.(KJO compargd to the preceding Ive months1£10,000 lower). Income from grant making bodies, other donations and fundraisiThJ of £34.000 was Significantly lower than Ihg previoLTrS yearfs figure of £75.000 as a direct result of cancelled acb'vitses due lo the COVID-19 pandemic. Fundraising, donations. and grant income have to be an important swr¢e of income and there will be a need lo improve the level in the next few years.

The results are again not those that Ihe Trustees would wish to report and rellect another difficuli twelve mnths for the provision of services. Although the reduced reflects the effort going into reforming and reposilioning services. a budgeted and fijrther reduced deficit has been planned for the year ended 31 August 2022. and with the Strategic Plan in place there is a drive to eliminate the deficts as s<Jon as possible. As al the 31 August 2021. the nel movement in fiJrKIs was a surplus of £418,OLN) {2020- deficti £107,000) due to the gain from property revaluations of £￿5,000 {2020: £nil). At the Balance Sheet dale there was nel debt regarding the bank loans of £474,000 12020= net debt £554,000). The overall strength ol financial posilK)n of the charity at the balance sheet date has weakened slightly as a ￿sU11 of the deficil in services. However, both the Twstees and Leadership Team are all aware of the challenges ahead in relumiftg all services lo a surplus. The Trustees and Leadership Team are mindful of the major risks that C4)ntinue to face the charity and acknowledge the need to ensure thal= govemrnent bodies pay appropriate fees for contracted services.. costs are controlled and kept lo a minimum- vacancies in its Sthools7nd Adult Services are kept lo a manageable level; fundiaising opportunities are maximised and voluniary income is maintsined at required levels and that the Charity and ils stsff do nothing to damage the services that are prowded or its reputation. The Strategic Rèport was approved by the Board of Directcrfs on the 25 Febnjary 2022 and Is signed on its behalf by the Chairman on Page 7 of the Annual Report.

Adult Services acbvty recorded a surplus for the year of £202.OIY) 12020 £96,000 deficill. Fee income increased due to a reduction in service voids and costs were marginally lower. These lower costs are predominantly due lo the pro rala split across services being more favourable and that is offset by large increases in National Minimum & Living Wage. Propety servI￿s is rm) longer rewrted upon and these costs are part of the Central Business Services. which provide all support functions to the income eaming Charilabk. Schod and Adult Servi￿. Finanan9 costs of £20,000 were lower than the previous year. reflecling Ihe importance of cash management lo the Charity as well as the low rates of interest existing in the economy.
