YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Cerebral Palsy Plus is run by a management committee, all of whom are volunteers.
The trustees that run our charity include service-users/members and carers. The trustees set the charity’s strategy to ensure that the vision, aims and objectives are fulfilled. Operational matters are delegated to the Development Co-ordinator and a small team of staff, all of whom are part-time. The trustees regularly review operations with the Development Co-ordinator. The Treasurer and trustees maintain financial control by working closely with the Development Co-ordinator, who is the charity’s longest serving and most senior employee. All on-line banking is authorised by two people who are not related and there are similar procedures and safeguards for cheque payments.
The trustees meet on a regular basis at least 10 times per year. Minutes are taken to record matters discussed, decisions and action required. An annual financial review meeting is held, where the accounts, annual return and annual report are discussed. The trustees review service provision, achievements and outcomes throughout the year.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
To promote the care, welfare, interest, treatment, education, employment and advancement of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities living in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.
To achieve this our charity provides social, leisure and sports activities, respite breaks, mobility/disability aids and assistive equipment, information, signposting, financial assistance, practical support, training, learning and work experience opportunities, and a remote and face-to-face talking therapy service.
This report covers from the 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 and highlights some of our main activities and achievements.
Projects, Services & Activities
All our projects, service and activities improve the welfare of children, young people and adults affected by cerebral palsy (CP). Amongst other things they improve emotional and physical well-being and promote inclusion.
In providing our services, we have ensured that we meet the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, particularly the benefits of improved emotional and physical health. We consult and undertake surveys with our members to prioritise our services and projects in accordance with their needs and the funds available.
All our programmes are designed to meet the needs of our members and their families and are therefore free of charge and easy to access. Our activities help to overcome physical and attitudinal barriers, improve confidence, skills and well-being and alleviate loneliness and isolation.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Through regular contact and building relationships with our members, their parents and other family carers we identify and recognise the different needs that cerebral palsy can create.
In view of this our programmes are varied and tailored to meet these differing needs. Everything that we provide for our members is free of charge. Our programme includes:-
-
A Friendship club which is held in person on 36 evenings throughout the year (3 times each month) and ten sessions on Zoom.
-
Swimming and physiotherapy sessions for children (0-16 years), who are members of our Seals Starfish Club, at a local hydrotherapy pool. Family members are welcome to attend and participate.
-
A range of social, sport and leisure activities and day-trips throughout the year for different age-groups such as sailing, Boccia, multi- sport taster days, enjoying meals with group members at local eateries, and day-trips to places of interest and local attractions.
-
A capped financial assistance scheme. Members can apply for small sums of money and are helped to complete application forms to obtain additional funds and larger amounts from other grant-giving organisations. Money received is mainly to obtain equipment and other things that improve their lives such as assistive technology, disability aids and equipment. They can also apply for short breaks which offer respite to carers and strengthen families that are experiencing stress.
-
An accessible time–share holiday apartment in Villamoura, Portugal is offered for up to four weeks each year to members and their carers (family members), free-of-charge. This enables our charity to provide occasional respite holiday breaks for our members.
-
A practical support, information and signposting service. This includes the provision of information packs to members, additional inserts and updates.
-
Newsletters and weekly e-bulletins
-
Volunteering, training and work experience opportunities
-
Zoom sessions are held twice weekly for 50 weeks of the year, these are for adults and are drop-in sessions with activities and an opportunity to chat. They have been highly successful in countering isolation and many friendships have been forged. These sessions have proved to be a great way of engaging new members and encouraging attendance at other events and activities.
Achievements and performance
Notable achievements
We improved and extended the range of services and activities provided and introduced new activities and services in accordance with goals set in our business plan 2017-2023.
Our membership reached an all-time high of over 400 members.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
We provided mentoring and associated support to enable members to become trustees, or act as representatives or ambassadors, and we provided work experience opportunities for young adult members.
Membership of our popular Swimming Club has remained strong and we are delighted with the facilities provided at our home at New Siblands School in Thornbury. We have received significant funding towards the provision of swimming activities in future years and are committed to providing this service to members in the future.
In September 2022 we were fortunate to recruit a new fundraiser, and this investment has delivered a strong increase in the level of donations we have received in the year.
Social, Sports and Leisure Activities
We are delighted that this year saw the return of in person activities as we responded to the changes relating to the Coronavirus pandemic and its challenges. We have been able to offer our members support to enjoy Social, Sport and Leisure activities both in person and online.

Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees
The charity may appoint any person who is willing to undertake the responsibilities of being a trustee. If a person expresses interest in becoming a trustee, a formal application is submitted and the trustees determine if their skills and experience will complement those already on the Board.
New trustees are provided with an information pack and given induction.
We offer basic and enhanced training to trustees about their duties and responsibilities. This is provided by local voluntary infrastructure organisations.
Trustees meet monthly and additional meetings are held when required. They hold a strategic overview of our charity and make decisions on all matters which affect the smooth running and development of our organisation.
The Chair, vice-chair, treasurer and secretary have clear responsibilities. Other trustees take the lead for specific work and projects, such as property and HR.
Financial
Financial procedures are in place for staff and trustees to ensure safeguarding of funds, recording information and producing reports.
Accounts are compiled by a book-keeper, reviewed by the treasurer and presented regularly to the trustees at their monthly meetings. Payroll is completed each month by an external provider.
Financial accounts are finalised and reviewed by an independent accountant following the year-end.
Statement on the Charity’s reserves
A proportion of the money required by our charity comes from sub-letting a large, commercial building in Dovercourt Road, Bristol.
Funds have been set aside to cover ongoing maintenance of the Dovercourt Road property to comply with regulations and improve standards. We understand the MEEs (Minimum Energy Efficiency) regulations and their impact on our responsibilities as landlord. There remains the risk that previously identified improvements and repairs need to be completed such as the installation of further PVC windows and improving insulation and other energy-efficiency measures.
Money spent on our Dovercourt Road property will ensure we receive significant rental income both now and in the future.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The building is currently used as a day-centre for disabled people and will generate £45,000 of our annual income requirement for years to come. Given the current economic climate and unpredictability of donations from fundraising work, the benefit of such secure and predictable income cannot be emphasised enough.
The charity liaises regularly with the tenant about the repair and renovation work which is required to the premises and retain designated funds to cover the charity’s potential exposure to costs which may be incurred in the year ahead.
In recent years, designated funds of £20,000 each have been created for Youth Engagement, Job Creation and Cost of Living Support. Due to the impact of Covid-19, these funds are yet to have been fully utilised, but the Charity is currently refreshing its Strategy, and there is the expectation that we shall target these areas in the short to medium term, and that these funds will be utilised as we provide these services to members.
During the year, a further £30,000 has been designated to a Business plan implementation fund, to allocate funding towards the implementation of our refreshed business plan. We anticipate that expenditure will be incurred against this fund in the year ended 31 March 2024.
The total funds held by the Charity are £336,099 of which £200,014 are designated reserves, £52,804 are restricted income funds and £83,281 are undesignated funds which can be used in unrestricted ways to deliver new and existing services to members.
The trustees aim to hold free reserves equating to at least 6 months running costs and the level of undesignated funds currently meets that aim.
We have accumulated reserves over the past years, as the level of activities and services we have been able to offer our members have been restricted. However, we are actively liaising with members to help inform our new business plan, which will set out our strategies for the next 3 to 5 years, including the provision of enhanced and additional services to members.
Staff
We employ twelve staff all of which are part time. Seven of them work five hours a week or less.
All staff are given full induction and training to equip them to fulfil their roles and responsibilities.
Staff receive regular supervision and are appraised annually. Our most senior staff member, who is responsible for the overall day to day running of our charity, has a regular supervision meeting with the Chair.
Staff are supported by trustees and volunteers, to help them achieve agreed targets, objectives and deadlines.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Volunteers
Our small team of staff are assisted by volunteers (which include members, parents and other family members). Our volunteers help staff to plan and run various activities, to welcome members and visitors and to offer practical assistance. We offer volunteering opportunities for members, their carers and anyone else who wishes to assist our charity in such a way.
Risk Management
Activities - When planning and organising activities, accessibility and risk assessments are carried out to highlight the levels of risk and action required. Currently all our activities are classified as low risk, but we always ensure that we have sufficient staff and volunteers in attendance to deal with any eventualities.
Holidays at Villamoura -To ensure that our Holidays offered at Villamoura meet all our insurance obligations we aim to travel to the apartment once every three years to ensure all health and safety meets insurance standards and to review accessibility.
Financial - The treasurer and trustees identify financial risks and discuss these at committee meetings. Trustees then take any necessary steps to mitigate these risks.
Employment – Peninsula Business Services advise the trustees on issues connected with employment law to eliminate the risk of failure to comply with employment law and the consequences.
Financial Review
Our charity is a public benefit entity.
Our staff and trustees work hard to ensure that we raise sufficient income to pay for the services and activities that our members need.
Raising donations through our fundraising work continues to be uncertain and unpredictable, but we are delighted with the level of donations received through the hard work of our fundraisers in the year.
We therefore set aside sufficient reserves to ensure that, in the worst case scenario, we can still provide support services and activities to members for at least six months.
This year, the amount raised from donations and grants was £187,748, significantly higher than the previous year. This demonstrates an excellent performance from our fundraising team and our growing reputation for good service provision, benefits and outcomes. It also testament to the skills and dedication of staff and volunteers who help to raise funds and raise awareness about our work.
This increased funding, and the lifting of all Covid related restrictions has allowed a significant increase in the level of activities we have been able to offer members, with our expenditure increasing by over £50,000 from that incurred in the prior year.

Future Plans
Our plans for the future include:-
-
Recruitment of at least one further trustee, particularly service-users/member or carer.
-
To raise our charity’s profile and greater awareness of our services, primarily through our website and social media. We intend to redesign our website and develop our videography skills.
-
To continue to increase our membership and the number of people we help, particularly people l iving in rural and outlying areas such as North Somerset through publicity and outreach work
-
To organise our newly acquired additional workspace and /or storage space to provide training, volunteering and work experience opportunities for our members. This improves accessibility and safety and enable us to store more equipment.
-
To organise another “Cerebral Palsy Got Talent” Event in Cerebral Palsy awareness month in March 2024
-
To hold a Strategic Planning & Creativity Day for staff, trustees and members to shape and develop our projects and services over the coming years.
-
To review and develop our fundraising structure and strategy-this key piece of work will be undertaken by our fundraiser in line with the Business plan.
-
To ensure young members are heard and their views are reflected in the services we provide, we aim to recruit and support two youth ambassadors from within our membership.
-
To maintain the successful remotely-provided talking therapy and information giving service. This was launched to alleviate loneliness and isolation experienced by members due to Coronavirus restrictions and has been proven to be valuable even now restrictions have been lifted
-
To produce an annual Impact Review document which will be a useful tool for fundraising bids
-
To continue to raise awareness of Cerebral Palsy on World CP Day and involve members in fundraising events
-
To collate good quality event feedback and gather views of membership to shape future events and services
Since the end of the year, we have developed a five-year plan for the Charity, which identifies our key strategic priorities and formulates a plan as to how these will be achieved. This plan was in part developed by feedback received from members, and we are excited about the opportunity to put this plan in action at the earliest opportunity. We are currently actively recruiting for a volunteer coordinator and development to join our team, to help develop additional service offering out members.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
I report on the accounts of Cerebral Palsy Plus for the year ended 31[st] March 2023, which are set out on pages 13 - 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under s. 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
•examine the accounts under s. 145 of the 2011 Act;
•to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under s. 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
•to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
•to keep accounting records in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, s. 386; and
•to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006, s. 386 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), and the requirements of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP FRS 102) based thereon. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have an expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Cash flow statement
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption of preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charity is small.
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when it is receivable.
Basis of apportionment of expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the appropriate headings. Where costs cannot be directly attributed, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resource. Direct costs, including directly attributable salaries are allocated on an actual basis to activities. Overheads and other salaries are allocated on the basis of the time spent. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.
Tangible fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Office equipment: 25% reducing balance
