Report of the Trustees for the year ending 31st December 2024 The Trustees are pleased to present Iheir annual directors, report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements of a director's report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 st January 2019). Chair's Review Welcome to the Report and Accounts for 2024. I was honoured to be elected as the new Chair of the board of Trustees in 2024 and would like to thank our outgoing Chair, Mandy Carr for such strong leadership in her 5 years as Chair prior. l am grateful that Mandy took on the Vice Chair role and offer my personal thanks for her support in this handover period. 2024 was a milestone year for SNAP - our 30th Anniversary. It has been mentioned that when our founders got together and the idea of SNAP formed and started its journey none would have envisaged how this vital service has evolved and grown and yet still how necessary our services are to families, not only with new, modern challenges but also with some that would be very familiar all those years ago sadly. l am constantly impressed by the fantastic team that Karen Boath has built since taking on the CEO role, Her leadership has generated such a positive, can-do team culture that always has our SNAP families front and centre of everything they do and constantly strive to do more and make a difference. At the heart of SNAP'S mission is our commitment to partnering with parents, providing compassion, guidance, and hope to families of children with additional needs and disabilities. Over the past year, we have seen first-hand the challenges families face, but also their incredible resilience when given the right support. Whether it's a parent finding reassurance in a counselling session, a family gaining clarity through expert advice, or children and siblings building friendships at our sessions, SNAP continues to be a place where families feel understood, supported, and empowered. As the demand for our services grows, we remain committed to evolving and expanding our support, ensuring every family that turns to us finds the help they need. Of course, to deliver our much relied upon services we need to ensure that our financia5 position is strong and our Finance Director Jeremy Radley has continued to ensure that we have robust systems and data to ensure that we know our numbers and have strong budgeted planning. Fund raising is a constanl need and our team have had a fantastic 30th Anniversary year reaching the milestone of £1,000,000 income. It was a very busy year with three significant events that stood out, in particular, our Anniversary Ball, Golf day and 24 hour Kitchen Disco that raised fantastic amounts and so I would like to thank everyone involved in making those events happen and such a success.

This report offers me the opportunity to congratulate the whole SNAP team and to say thanks to every one of you for what you do, how you do it and for the impact you have on our families. Our Board continues to evolve with some changes this year. Two very longstanding Trustees decided that this year would be the year for them to retire and so I thank both Paula Hills and Michael O'connell for their 30 years, of servi￿. Such dedication is incredible and on behalf of the whole Board I thank them and assure them that we will carry on their work and never lose sight of the fact that our families are at the heart of what we do. We also welcomed two new Trustees who both bring relevant and diverse experience.. Liz Chaplin is a family trustee who has been a great supporter for many years and can offer the board her lived experience and Thomas Broad who brings his banking & accountancy skills. Finally, I would also like to highlight just a few key items from the last year: We welcomed 605 new families this year Total families supported to 4,708 1,068 Counselling sessions 529 Face 2 Face advice sessions Specialist Talks & Webinars with 540 participants Just a few of the things in our fantastically busy 2024 calendar providing support, guidance, hope and fun. We recognise that the need for our services and support are continuously in demand and so great effort has been made to plan and determine what and how we will rise to the challenge of the next year and I have every confidence that SNAP will continue to meet those challenges and be there when called upon. Stuart Hulbert Chair of the Trustees

Message from the CEO As CEO of SNAP, l am honoured to lead a passionate and resilient team that remains steadfast in our rnission to support families with children and young people with additional needs and d isabilities. This past year has been one of growing hardship for the families we support. Rising costs of living, limited access to specialist serrfices, and the emotional strain of caring have deepened the challenges faced by parents and caregivers. Many have struggled with feelings of isolation and exhaustion as they navigate an increasingly uncertain landscape. At the same time, charities like SNAP are operating under mounting pressure. Changes intrOdU￿d in the government's most recent budget have significantly affected our sector, reducing access to vital funding streams at a time when demand for our services has never been greater. Despite these challenges, we remain determined to meet the needs of our families with compassion, guidance, and hope. This year's Annual Report highlights the breadth of support we have delivered, the lives we have impacted, and the collective strength of our SNAP community. It is a story of resilience, and the extraordinary power of working together to ensure that every family feels heard, supported, and valued. l am deeply grateful to our staff, trustees, volunteers, and partners, whose generosity and dedication continue to drive our mission forward. Your continued support ensures that SNAP remains a trusted source of comfort and guidance for the families who rely on us. Thank you for being part of our vital work. Karen Boath Chief Executive Officer

Objectives and Activities SNAP works in partnership with parents and carers of children and young people in Essex with any additional need or disability. The charity aims to infomi, encourage and support parents so that they can grow in strength and knowledge and become better equipped to give the best possible help to their children. The overriding principle of SNAP'S work is to help and empower the whole family. The services at SNAP provide a safe and welcoming environment for families. that is tailored to their needs. This offers the Ghildren and young people an opportunity to freely be themselves and make new friends. Meanwhile, parents and carers have access to their own peer support nettvork and community, relieving their own feelings of isolation. In shaping objectives for the year and planning activities the Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. SNAP is very conscious that it relies on grants, donations and income from fees to cover its operating costs and it is essential that we provide excellent outcomes for our families in a cost-effective manner. Our fee structure reflects that affordable access to our services is extremely important to us and our families. In. the course of interaction with statutory funders, care providers, local authorities and other agencies, SNAP utilises its hands-on experience to advocate that the needs of the Ghild and family are fully understood. The objective is to inform decision makers of the support required by SNAP families. To ensure SNAP'S work remains focused on our stated aims and objectives, performance and outcomes are continuously monitored. The 2024 annual report gives details of the charity's services, its achievements, performan￿ and how it has benefited the people it is set up to help. SNAP systematically seeks feedback from our families which, along with monitoring and evaluation, indicates we are providing essential and high-quality seNices and activities. Services and Support Over the pasl 31 years, SNAP has gained an in-deplh understanding of the everyday demands of supporting a child with an additional need or disability on the whole family. As a result, the charity's extensive experience ensures that families receive holistlc 5UPPOrt that helps them to lead a more fulfilling life. SNAP has developed a variety of services in response to the needs of local families, according to age and individual levels of the children and young people whose families we support. The rharity recognises the changes and demands that families encounter as their children grow older. Families will develop new skills and resilience with the knowledge that SNAP is always there when needed. SNAP actively seeks the views and opinions of our families to help measure the impact of services and to assist in the development and planning of future provision. The Trustees are fully engaged in discussing and reviewing the ServI￿S and support offered by SNAP to ensure they are relevant and Gontinue to meet the needs of our families.

Parents and Carers Information, advice and support is provided by way of: Helpline, E-mail and Telephone Support the SNAP helpline is open from 9.00am to 4.00pm weekdays (exGept on Fridays when it opens between 9.00am to 3.00pm) to give information and support. Face-to-Face Parent Advice provides parents with the opportunity to discuss their concerns and difficulties with SNAP'S trained staff or re￿1ve Education and Benefits advice from our specialist partner providers. Attendance at the weekly Multi-Disciplinary Assessment Clinic (MDAC) at Brentwood Community Hospital. At these meetings, childrenlyoung people will have an appointment to receive a diagnosis. SNAP is in a unique and privileged position whereby we work alongside the paediatriGian and other professionals at these meetings. Counselling is provided by professional counsellors and offered to parents, children andlor the whole family where they would benefit from this service. Specialist Parent Talks, workshops and focus events enabling families to learn about specific needs or concerns from professionals and access opportunities to network with other families and representatives of related organisations. The SNAP Directory is a comprehensive online guide of useful contacls to point both parents and professionals in the right direction. The Informatlon Network updates parents regularly by email with information and opportunities relevant to their specific circumstances. The Information Network Facebook Group provides another accessible way of sharing information directly with families. Recently this has included links to activities and groups being hosted by other charities in Essex to further support our families. The Speclallst Llbrary is an extensive collection of specialist books and information sheets which provide targeted information relating to specific issues or difficulties. SNAP Survival Guides are wrilten and produced annually to help families over times of routine change or transition. We have produced guides to support families during the Christmas and Summer holidays and moving to Secondary School. Parent Choir sessions provide an opportunity to sing and socialise with other parents and carers. Children and Young People We offer a wide range of facilities and activities encompassing both term-time and holiday sessions including: Pre4chool sessions support Early years, development of young children with additional needs and disabilities through stimulating, interactive and sensory experiences using play, art, and music to encourage interaction within the group and between the parent and child.

AfterThschool Clubs for school aged children and young people including more structured sessions, such as Drama and Choir, and free play sessions that utilise the specialist facilities and equipment at The SNAP Centre. Sessions focus on increasing self-esteem and confidence, while enhancing social and communication skills. Holiday Clubs provide opportunities to meet up with other families during the school holidays. A variety of sessions are on offer that are all tailored to different age groups and different levels of need. Clubs help relieve families, isolation, which are heightened during the holidays. All sessions benefit from the Specialist Equipment and Facilities available at The SNAP Centre including a multi-sensory room, IT Suite, a soft play area, an outside terra￿ area, and a variety of toys and games. Siblings Sibling Support offers inclusive activities such as the pre-school children groups, after-school clubs, holiday sessions and sibling activity days, including our four-day SIBS4FUN programme each summer. The aim is to alleviate feelings of isolation and provide respite from being a 'young carer, and allows them to meet other children who are in similar situations. In 2024, SIBS4FUN was based on a theme of the Circus.

Outcomes: Reduced isolation and improved networks of support for the whole family. Improved access to information and strategies, which increases understanding and ability to effectively advocate for the needs of children and young people who have additional needs and disabilities. Increased parentslcarers, confiden￿, empowerment and ability to engage with statutory and voluntary ser¥ice providers, medical professionals and other families. Greater self-reliance, independence and ability to ensure that children and young people with additional needs and disabilities get the best possible support. Increased resilience, mental health and overall feeling of wellbeing across the family. Improved communication skills, self-esteem and social interaction for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities. Enhan￿d support for siblings to deal with the challenges they face and give them opportunities to develop relationships with other children and young people experiencing similar circumstances. Increased understanding by professional bodies, including statutory and other voluntary sector organisations, of the support that SNAP families require. Impact: Parentslcarers are more resilient and empowered, are able to make confident, informed choices to help their children and young people with additional needs and disabilities and their siblings. Children and young people with additional needs and disabilities and their siblings experience improved social inclusion as a result of the confidence and self-esteem gained at SNAP. Older children and young people return to SNAP to volunteer in the activities from which they have benefitted. The skills acquired through volunteering also provide experiences that develop independence, life skills and support future life choices in education and training. Volunteers The Charity is an integral part of the community and relies on voluntary help. Volunteer roles include supporting parents and children in individual sessions and at group activities, identifying and cataloguing material for the specialist library and helping with office duties. In addition, many volunteers take part in our fundraising activities. Our Trustees, who are all volunteers, devote significant amounts of their time to supporting SNAP in a variety of ways. Without such dedicated and skilled volunteers SNAP could not offer the wide range of support and services essential for tts families.

Achievements and Performance 2024 Achievements There were 605 new families who registered with SNAP for the first time in 2024, taking the total supported to 4,708 by end of the year. The numbers needing our support is indicative of the poor level of statutory provision available to families, a lack of appropriate school places for children with additional needs. as well as an increase in awareness by parents of neurodiversity conditions. Our family support staff extended their Presen￿ at a greater variety of parent events across a wider area of Essex, increasing awareness of how SNAP can support families. At our premises, we have hosted a greater number of externally run training programs designed specifically for SNAP families. Our children's activity sessions were reconfigured and renamed to provide clarity to parents about their child's journey through the different age group activities provided by SNAP. A beautiful drama production involving our drama class students and our parent and children's choirs was delivered at Brentwood Theatre in De￿rnber. Our website was relaunched with a new strapline using the letters in SNAP as its starting point. "Supporting, nurturing and partnering" captures what SNAP is all about. Our new mission statement can be seen on page 1. °Compassion, guidance and hope. resonated strongly with the working groups that continued to the new mission statement. During our 30th anniversary year, we were delighted to sign a new 30 year lease on the SNAP Centre premises. Our thanks to Brentwood Council for offering SNAP the opportunity to extend our occupancy at our lovely home. An incredible amount of money was raised through our 30th anniversary fundraising efforts. As well as regular events such as the SNAP Ball and the SNAP Golf Day at Thorndon Park, we hosted a 24 hour kitchen disco, a families and staff sky dive and encouraged supporters to try doing something 30 times in January 2024. The work of the Events Committee, made up of fantastic volunteers has allowed staff to focus on other areas of fundraising, for which we are very grateful. SNAP'S greatest assets are the staff that work here and we are very grateful for their dedication and expertise. During 2024, we achieved Essex Working Well level 2 accreditation. In our weekly survey of staff using an online wellbeing tool, pride in working for SNAP is always above national and sector comparisons. After 30 years of continuous service, two Trustees retired from their duties. We are immensely grateful to both Michael O'connell and Paula Hills for their incredible contribution since 1994. 2025 Aspirations Ensure that SNAP can meet the growing demand for our services across the whole of Essex.

Continue to evaluate and adapt our services to ensure they are providing the best possible support to our families. Undertake a 'Theory of Change" evaluation to identify the impact of SNAP on families. Look to strengthen relationships with other charities particularly in transitional support to facilitate partnership working. Ensure that SNAP remains in a good position financially with adequate unrestricted reserves to cover expenditure requirements for between 6 to 9 months. Advance our investment plans for upgrading both our premises and our back-office infrastructure. A particular focus is our changing room provision and our counselling rooms. Continue to review the functionality of the Website and mobile access. Ensure they are fit for purpose and user friendly. Sustain and develop relationships wilh our supporters and volunteers. A specific focus on story telling and video content is important. Continue to monitor the health and wellbeing of staff to ensure they are properly supported to enable them.to continue supporting our families. Prepare for a statutory audit of our financial statements in the event that revenue is over £1 million for a second year running.

Financial Review Profitability SNAP recorded a profit of £138,000 in 2024 compared to a loss of £39,000 in 2023. The profit resulted from record levels of income and occurred despite a 15% increase in expenditure compared to the previous year. Income of £1 ,068,000 in 2024 was 40 % higher than in 2023 through a combination of increased support from statutory authorities and the fundraising generosity of SNAP supporters during the charity's 30th anniversary year. Higher expenditure was driven by an expansion of services to meet the growth in number of families turning to SNAP and the changing requirements of those families. With 80 % of SNAP'S expenditure relating to staff costs, a contributory growth factor was the increase in the UK living wage, increasing by 10.4% in April 2024. General inflationary pressures impacted most expenditure lines. Reserves At 31st December 2024 SNAP'S unrestricted reserves were £669,000, providing expenditure cover for 8.7 months. The Trustees believe that SNAP is in a good financial position and with continued support will continue to prosper. Budget 2025 SNAP'S budget for 2025 ensures that free resenies will remain within the requirements set out by the Trustees (see note 19 of the accounts) and that the additional funds generated from our 30th anniversary year will be utilised. At the end of 2025, free reseNes are budgeted at £582,000, representing 6.5 months of expenditure cover. During 2025, a loss of £71,000 generated from a slight reduction in income and higher expenditure is expected. Expenditure in 2025 is expected to reach £1,082,000, an increase of 170/0 compared to 2024. This is primarily due to further investment in the number of staff but is also impacted by additional Gosts such as higher employer's national insurance costs. An increase in April 2025 of the UK living wage not only creates immediate cost increases in respect of staff paid at that rate but also requires action to reduce salary compression across all staff salary bands. In order to provide funding for the growth in expenditure, income has been budgeted at £1,012,000 for 2025, a reduction of £51,000 or 5 % compared to 2024. Although a repeat of the successes at our 30 anniversary events is not expected, we do expect other forms of income to at least maintain their 2024 levels. Despite the significant amount to be raised, the Trustees are confident that with hard work and greal support. the income taryet can be met, The success of our financial position is and continues to be due to the ongoing generosity of our many donors. Without them. SNAP would not be able to continue. Statutory agencies, Charitable Trusts and Foundations, individuals, businesses, Rotary clubs, Lodges, Round Tables, schools, sports clubs and other community organisations raise money every year to help us fund our activities. Everyone at SNAP is ttuly very grateful for all their wonderful support. We are also extremely grateful to Future Office Solulions for all their assistance with our IT needs, Blue Serif who support our website and Hollington Associates who support our recruitment. 12

Plans for Future Periods SNAP has a robusl 3-year Business and Fundraising Plan in place and budgets are reviewed against actual income at each Trustee Executive meeting to ensure the charity's long-term financial stability is sustainable. Our specific aspirations for 2025 are outlined on page g of this Report. Post Balance Sheet Events There were no significant post balance sheet events to note. Structure, Governance & Management Governing DocLiment SNAP'S governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which states that its objects "are for the relief of children with physical andlor mental disabilities or other additional needs particularly by the PTovision of information, encouragement and support to their parents and such other charitable activities as the Executive Committee in their ab501ute discretion shall decide.. SNAP was formed in 1994 and was registered as a charity in September 1996. On 6th May 1999 it was agreed by the Trustees that SNAP Special Needs and Parents (Registered Charity No. 1058255) should become a charitable company limited by guarantee and that the Trustees elected at the Annual General Meeting on 26th May 1999 would be the initial directors of the incorporated charity. Special Needs And Parents Limited (Company No. 03805837) was incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 on 13th July 1999 and was registered as a charity by the Charities Commission on 131h October 1999 (Registered Charity No. 1077787). Special Needs And Parents Ltd has continued to be known as 'SNAP' and that acronym has been used throughout the report. Special Needs And Parents Limited had 1,261 members at the end of the year. The members, liability in the event of SNAP winding up is £1 each. 13

Trustee Recruitment and Appointment SNAP is governed by a board of directors, which forms the Executive Committee. The directors of SNAP are known as trustees and are referred to as such throughout the annual report and accounts. At the end of 2024, there were eleven trustees on our Executive Committee. It has a balanced mix of parents of children with disabilities and members of the community with relevant experience. The Executive Committee conducts an annual Gorporate governance code formal evaluation of the Executive Committee and individual trustees. All members of the Executive Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 21 of the accounts. The trustees may, by ordinary resolution, appoint a person who is willing to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or become an additional trustee. At a general meeting a person may be appointed a trustee if he or she is recommended by the trustees in accordance with the Articles or if a member qualified to vote at the meeting nominates a person in accordance with the Ar.ticles. The maximum number of trustees is twelve. Trustee Induction and Training Trustees receive a Trustee Information Pack, which includes the Charity Commission publication "CC3 The Essential Trustee.. Vwiat you need to know" together with information on the Nolan Principles which are the basis of the ethical standards expected of Trustees. The pack also contains the charity's structure, aims and objectives, a Trustee job description and the Trustee standing orders which sets out how the Board will operate in support of the SNAP team. Prospective trustees are invited to attend an Executive Committee meeting as an observer, so they fully understand the responsibilities of being a SNAP Irustee. They visit the charity to see it in operation and meet the staff and volunteers and follow an induction programme. Trustee training is continually reviewed, and information is provided of training courses available, so that Trustee development continues throughout their time on the Executive Committee. Organisational Structure The Board of Trustees, which can have up to twelve members, administers the charity. The full Board meets four times a year and there are standing sub-committees covering Finance and Remuneration, Fundraising and Risk. Other sub-committees are constituted as appropriate to review specific topics. In the past this has included areas such as GDPR. Other Trustees support the CEO as subject matter experts when required, an example of this being Safeguarding. The CEO is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to4ay operations of the charity, To facilitate effective operations, the CEO has delegated authoiity, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees for operational matters including seDli￿S for SNAP families, financial management, fundraising, marketing and publicity, HR and employee relations. Related Parties None of our trustees receive remuneration OT Other benefit from their work with the charity. In the current year there are no related party transactions to be reported. 14

SNAP has no subsidiaries or connected charities but works in partnership with other organisations concerned with the welfare of children and young people with disabilities and their families. Remuneration Policy for Senior Staff As the most senior employed person within the charity, the CEO is in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. The remuneration of staff including the CEO is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and considers prevailing inflation rates, changes in responsibility and the charity's financial resources. The Remuneration Committee's recommendations are submitted to the full Executive Committee for approval. Risk Management The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces. These are updated by the management team and presented to the Executive Committee at every Executive Meeting, for review and discussion. the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review. the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
