## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
## YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
## 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-toface talking therapy service.
This report covers from the 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 and highlights some of our main activities and achievements.
## Projects, Services & Actvites
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 wellbeing 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 at udinal barriers, improve confidence, skills and well-being and alleviate loneliness and isolation.

## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
## YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
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 Swimming Club, at a local hydrotherapy pool. Family members are welcome to attend and participate. Sessions are term-time only.
- 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, meals with other members 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 or strengthen family bonds.
- 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.

## 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.
6
CEREBRAL PALSY PLUS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
## YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Money spent on our Dovercourt Road property will ensure we receive significant rental income both now and in the future.
The building is currently used as a day-centre for disabled people and will generate £45,000 of our annual income requirement for the next 18 months, when the lease expires. We are currently in negotiations with the tenant to agree a new rental term, with an anticipated increase in future rental stream.
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. 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.
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 2025.
The total funds held by the Charity are £295,542 of which £200,014 are designated reserves, £28,555 are restricted income funds and £66,973 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.
## Staf
We employ thirteen staff all of which are part time. Six 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.

CEREBRAL PALSY PLUS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
## YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
## 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
Actvites - 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 £123,835, significantly lower than the previous year. This reduction was not unexpected, as 2022-23 was an exceptional year, seeing an unusually high number of significant donations being secured in the first full post-Covid period.
Despite this reduction in income, we increased our expenditure by over £20,000, as we continued to expand the range and quality of services we provided to members, including continued investment into frame-running and swimming.
Consequently, we are reporting a deficit for the year of £40,557, compared to a surplus last year of £41,053. However, this was in line with our expectations, as we sought to investment additional sums into members’ services, whilst retaining s strong level of cash reserves.

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 2024
I report on the accounts of Cerebral Palsy Plus for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages 13 - 23.
## Respectve responsibilites 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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resource.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.
