ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Advocacy

Until 31 October 2023, OPAL delivered its contracted advocacy service, making a significant difference in the lives of Oldham residents. The dedicated OPAL advocates provided crucial support on a variety of issues and guided individuals to the appropriate agencies when needed.

OPAL's Women's Group

Throughout the year, OPAL's women's group has offered a secure and inclusive environment for women to connect, build relationships, seek advice, and receive support. The group has consistently operated at maximum capacity, empowering women to develop valuable skills.

Learning Disability Engagement Events

OPAL's learning disability engagement sessions, focusing on key health topics such as diabetes, had a profound impact on the health awareness of the community. These sessions significantly contributed to improving the health literacy of Oldham residents. Feedback was obtained from people with lived experience and carers and provided to the council, underscoring their crucial role in developing better services in Oldham.

Household Support Fund

OPAL received a grant to support Oldham Council to deliver its Household Support Fund offer to vulnerable Oldham residents. OPAL utilised an E-voucher system and supported individuals and households in Oldham who were at risk due to the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. E-vouchers helped residents needing emergency food, warm clothing, school uniforms, household furniture and white goods, household essential items and emergency energy and water bills. OPAL provided support to 83 households and 272 individuals with this fund.

National Energy Action (NEA) Community Grant

OPAL received a grant from the NEA to provide information and advice to help vulnerable people prepare for winter and keep warm. OPAL delivered a 'coffee morning' event targeted at adults with learning disabilities, many of whom were in receipt of benefits and struggled to heat their homes. OPAL also distributed relevant information to individuals who couldn't attend and posted information via OPAL's social media platforms to reach a wider audience.

GM Walking and Wheeling Fund

OPAL facilitated eight walks with their Heels and Wheels walking group, funded by the Greater Manchester Walking and Wheeling Fund. The sessions ran from February 2023 and covered different locations, including the local town centre heritage trail, local parks, and a canal walk.

One Oldham Fund - Cost of Living

OPAL received funding from One Oldham Fund's Cost of Living Crisis Support Grant to provide information and advice to Oldham residents. OPAL utilised its social media platforms to share cost-of-living support and advice in various formats. We delivered sessions on energy-saving tips and explained where to access financial advice. OPAL also offered individual support to enable people to access the help they needed, such as accessing CAB drop-in sessions for debt and redeeming Household Support Fund vouchers.

Hate Crime

OPAL continue to being a third-party hate crime reporting centre and supports inclusiveness through a range of activities funded through Oldham Council. OPAL received a grant from One Oldham Fund's Let's End Hate Crime programme. The project was entitled 'A shout-out to end hate crime'. It promoted the message of challenging and reporting hate crimes by working in partnership with Oldham Community Radio and Gaydio. OPAL's members visited Oldham Community Radio and were interviewed on air to talk about what a hate crime is, how easy it is to report and the importance of reporting. Gaydio radio station also interviewed OPAL members and discussed the importance of challenging all hate crimes.

Learning Disability Friends Project

OPAL continues to run The Learning Disability Friends project and deliver free acceptance sessions to groups of professionals, students, and other stakeholders in the Oldham area. The sessions include learning about the barriers faced by people with learning disabilities and autistic individuals, as well as the adjustments that people can make in their roles to help them thrive.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Objectives of the Learning Disability Friends Project:

Your Day Your Way

OPAL's staff team and day service members have successfully navigated through the challenges of Covid and are actively expanding the day service and its activities. Members have shared their positive feedback about OPAL services and have also expressed their interest in seeing more activities in the future. OPAL has partnered with Wheels For All, providing access to adaptive bikes and introducing new and enjoyable activities for its members to participate in. OPAL continues to offer free taster sessions for people with a learning disability or autistic people to see if they'd like to join our service and meet new people.

The OPAL Crew

The OPAL Crew has transitioned to full-day sessions, allowing members to have more opportunities to visit the wider community. Members have been able to enjoy educational and fun trips, enhance their digital skills, and improve their health and fitness through various courses. Additionally, they have maintained positive relationships with community groups by networking and building connections.

Learning Disability Health Trainer Programme / OPAL Move

OPAL received additional funding to continue running the Learning Disability Health Trainer Programme, which has been renamed OPAL Move in 2022-2023. The health trainer from OPAL continued to work with individuals, providing free weekly sessions to increase physical activity and mental well-being. The trainer also offered group sessions for those who wanted to increase socialisation and seek friendships. Feedback from the program has been extremely positive, with clients continuing to work towards their individualised goals even after the end of their program. OPAL hopes to continue running the program in 2024-2025.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

To achieve the reserves target, the Board has continued scrutinising expenditure and ensuring that all activities are properly funded.

The Board has implemented the priorities identified in the extensive review of the reserves policy and documented in the Strategic Plan for 2019 to 2024. Activities supported this year include the women's group.

Reserves are the result of the charity's unrestricted income fund, which are freely available to spend on any of the charity's purposes. The Board have reviewed all unrestricted income streams and assessed these in respect of the future continued funding; the net profile of the income stream and the impact of the loss of each income stream.

The above systematic identification of risk and future income and the assessment of committed expenditure to each stream of income has enabled the board to assess for each income stream the reserves needed to manage risks identified, shortfalls in income and specific liabilities identified, including loss of key staff and redundancy. The above reserves which have been identified total £85,000 and will continue to be recognised in the financial statements as continuity and contingency reserves. Additional reserves will be referred to as general reserves.

Reserves will be reviewed at Board meetings when the quarterly management reports are received. Performance against budget will be monitored. The reserves policy will be reviewed and revised annually to reflect any changes in the operating context of the charity. Activities funded through the general reserves will be monitored to ensure the work remains relevant to members and can demonstrate impact.

FUTURE PLANS

In 2023, OPAL had an amazing 40th-anniversary celebration, supporting people with a learning disability and autistic individuals in Oldham. It was heart-warming to see so many people come together to celebrate the wonderful work that OPAL does. Unfortunately, towards the end of the year, OPAL lost the advocacy contract for Learning Disability and Autism Independent Advocacy. Nevertheless, OPAL remains dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable in Oldham's society and will continue to seek funding to ensure that we can keep providing excellent advocacy support.

Over the next 12 months, OPAL will focus on the following initiatives:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF OLDHAM PERSONAL ADVOCACY LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Oldham Personal Advocacy Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
