CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORTI Iconlinued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEIW8ER 2023 STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES The following are the four key strategic objectives for the reporting period 2023. Continue to be a leading providor of equipment, treatment. therapies and support to disabled children. Raise the profile and awareness of the Charity brand, helping people lo understand disabllllies and childhood illness and Ihe impact our support makes to individual lives. Continue to develop the infrastructure lo enable Caudwell Children lo fulfil its long terrn aims. Expandlng the Services provided and Develop I Create new services to fit new needs. These objectives are undertaken with the aim of enabling Caudwell Children lo provide a continued high-qualily service to its target sector of socially excluded individuals. ACTIVITIES & SERVICES FOR ACHIEVING OUR GOALS To transform lives.. Family support services and short break activilies, at times of crisis Mobility and sensory equipment Access to life-saving surgeries and Ireatmenls Life changing therapy and support programmes for children with brain injuries and their families Holistic therapies and support programmes for Autistic children and their families Sports equipment to enable talented alhleles lo participate in competitive sport Grow the delivery of our new CCAS Se￿l¢e from our new CICC centre Allend National & International conferences to raise awareness of our work OUR ASPIRATIONS From Ihe very beginning Caudwell Children has always aspired to be recognised as a leading national provider of services for disabled children and an example of best practice In fundraising. The charity continues to focus on service provision, in particular the way we help and support children and families affected by autism spectrum disorders and how we grow lo meel the ever increasing global demand for autism assessmenls and inleNenlion. During the year local NHS contracts were won for the delivery of our CCAS Service. This was only limited by the international skills shortage for clinical specialisms including psychology, speech and language therapists and occupational Iherapisls. A continued recruitmenl drive throughoul 2023 maintained the Tequired clinical expertise lo deliver the charily's vision for an efficient and cosl-effective assessment and inleNenlion pathway. Whilst there has been and continues to be a shortage in the labour market we'continued to grow both in resource and impact. DLbring 2023 all of the MDT (multi-disciplinary clinical team) members continued to develop the CCAS service by carrying oul Ihe much-needed ASD assessments both from the CICC and online. Online training for ADIR and ADOS was continued lo all new clinical team members. This widened the breadth of skills within the clinical team enabling them to offer support to more children & families boih virtually and fa¢e-to-fa¢e. CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 These ongoing developm?nls assist us in our principle that the right pathway and subsequent research will provide vital evidence, improved early intervention pathways, increased independenGe and belter family wellbeing for the millions of people living with autism in the UK and worldwide. We are pleased lo confirm that throughout 2023, Caudwell Children remained registered with the CQC maintaining an overall rating of Good allowing the charity to continue lo operate ils full in-house autism service. Our continued relationship with the CQC representatives remained remote due to the priority for inspections being assigned to less well-performing healthcare providers. We continue to aspire towards the achievement of an 'Oulslanding' rating upon future inspections. During November 2023 the charily also undernenl its annual ISO audit whlch we are pleased to report was another pass with no major or minor issues raised for Improvement. This once again underpins the charily's managemenl's dedication and focus when it comes to documented policy and procedures and its desire in looking for and being open lo, continuous development and improvemenl. Our primary objective has not changed and is still to reach and provide support lo every disabled child living in the UK, regardless of disability, Bul we also feel that we have a critical parl to play in the global disability communily and by sharing research and best practice with our partners around the world we can potentially help millions ol children.

The new partnership raised £54,580 from employee fundraising inilialives and looks sel to continue in 2024. The ability to relurn to traditional face-to-face fundraising since covid has allowed our revered events porlfolio lo return although income has reduced across our major events such as the Bullerfly Ball London and Monaco. as well our new Portugal edition and the Children's Activities Week mass- participation event.

Where necessary, the charity will use its public profile and influence lo highlight the plighl of disabled children and carers In continued efforls lo positively affect policy and practice both domestically in the UK and Inlernalionally. During 2023 we continued to find appropriate platforms to ensure the opinions ofexperls by experlence could be hea(d and continued lo collaborate with parlner organisations and colleagues from across Ihe voluntary sector to share best practice and raise nalional or political awareness ft)r topical issues when necessary.

The CEO and SLT maintained a strong focus on maximising the available income lo provide for our ongoing services. With every penny raised they continue to drive efficiencies and reduce expenditure where ever possible. It is a core value of all our employees and volunteers lo constantly search and oblain the best value for money in all Ihal they do. This is done with the clèar mind-set that the more we save the more services we are able lo deliver lo greater numbeis of disabled children and their families. We afe once again extremely proud to have maximised every £1 raised, thus enabling us lo provide more than £1.90 worth of goods and services for every £1 raised throughout 2023. This level of efficiency is further compounded by the Charity's unique situation, with Mr John Caudwell's annual personal donation. Mr John Caudwell, generously matches one third of all nel annual income raised, to help cover core non-service delivery overheads. This annual donation is dependent on the charity continually demonslraling the widespread positive impact on the health and wellbeing of disabled and aulislic children. This on-going support from Mr Caudwell maximises the impact of all other fundraising income, enabling the charily lo be more financially effective and recruit the best candidates to deliver imporlanl non-service delivery roles within the charity, including fundraising, adminislralion and marketing. Meanwhile, Caudwell Children continues lo work closely with colleagues across the voluntary sector lo ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of services.

In order to deliver more and more life changing therapies, we recognise the need to develop our service delivery provision We also understand Ihe national and global disability landscape and need for increased support and research in to the cause and effect of the most prevalent disabilities. In order lo meet these future goals. we designed, developed, built and opened the Caudwell I nlernalional Children's Centre in 2019.

In 2023 Caudwell Children supported famlliea raising disabled and autistic childfenlyoung people across the UK with 17,180 donations and services. This has exceeded our strategic aim of increasing our impact year-on-year (2022 - 14,406). Every service user receives a request to complete a service evaluation queslionnaire to ensure the charity is providing high quality services and Ihat we identify any problems. We target ourselves to achieve an average of 90Q/o 'Excellenl' rating across all services and metrics. In 2023 we reported an average of 970/0 'Excellent' rating, wilh sevon service lines reporting a 100°/o score.

Internal consultation and collaboration with a leacling branding agency has helped developed a new brand messaging framework lo be implemented in 2024 and beyond, which includes the launch of a new website and a design refresh. Collaborallon has always underpinned the charity's misslon lo create a betler world for disabled and autistic children. 11 is through stralegic partnerships and ne￿orkS that the charity is able lo reach greater numbers of beneficiaries and ensure the voices of people with lived experience of neurodiversity and disability are heard. In a posl-pandemic environment many of the charity's alliances have increased their activlly and impact. Partnershlps with the charily founder, John Caudwell, and organisations including the Greal British Entrepreneur Awards and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Cerebral Palsy have been important parts of the charily's successful outreach in 2023, which have been complimented with servlce delivery partnerships with NHS trusts and local authorities aimed at improving environments, systems and policy for disabled people. OBJECTIVE 3 To develop the infrastructure to enable Caudwell Children to fulfll its long term aims Recfultmenl and workforce retention remains one of the biggest challenges lo the charily. as we experience the same shortage of clinical speciallies as the whole healthcare network, including psychologists, speech & language therapists and occupational therapists. io CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT) (contlnued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Despite the global shortage in qualified clinical staff we continue lo provide fanlaslic career opportunities for a growing number of our 'Purple People. and offer on-the-job training for an increasing amount of sludenls, apprentices and trainees. This dedicated and passionate workforce is complemented by a team of equally passionate and skilled volunteers, wilhoutwhom we would not be able lo deliver the same levels of support to our beneficiaries and we are incredibly grateful. During the year the charity recruited an Associate Director of Clinical Services who along with other critical clinical recruils have allowed the clinical Services lo develop and grow OBJECTIVE 4 Expandlng the services provided and Develop I Create new servlces to fit new needs. 2023 has seen Caudwell Children's service delivery strengthen in key areas of the Autism Service, Short Breaks and Family Support with increased numbers of children being helped in each area.

These new services will be reported in greater detail in next year's accounts. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE Investments Our policy is to ensure Ihal sufficient funds are secured for 1000/0 of all the family support equipment, treatment and therapies, al the point families enter the services. As a resull of the level of commilled expenditure, the majority of the funds have been restricted. These separate restricted funds can only be used for the intended services they are reslricled to. This leaves free reserves equal to just under seven monlhs of the budgeted general fund expenditure. These are slightly higher than the larget of six months but are much lower than the previous iwo years. These unrestricted reserves are held in case of any sudden decline in income and ensure commitments rnade lo providing services for children can be mel (in the form of conlraclual commitments to staff and premises). }￿ere treatment and therapy is agreed over a specified number of years, monies are restricted in the accounts against individual child cases, which ensures that all monies are available, as and when required_ This process is managed in the monthly management accounts by the CEO, CFO and overseen quarterly by Mr Craig Bennett. Company Secretary. As al 3111 December 2023 the charity holds total cash reseNes of £9.18m ofwhich £8.56m is deposited in a higher interest bearing inslanl access accounts. Due to Ihe nature of the reserves currently held for longer term critical therapy and treatment programmes Ihe charity is not in the position to deposit funds into any longer term higher interest accounts. li CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT) Iconlinued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 As Trustees. we lake a prudent approach whcn making decisions about investing thè.

Revlew The investment policy is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees and although we are continually looking for investment opportunities our cash flows do not allow us available funds to deposit for the required length of time to benefit from the higher returns. Given the increasing number of children the charity aims lo assist and the capital investment required for our new charity building such medium and long-lerm investments are not practical. 12 CAUDWELL CHILDREN IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT} (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 RESERVES POLICY As Trustees, we regularly review the reserves position to ascertain whether or not the funds being held are adequate for Caudwell Children's work. In doing this we lake into consideration the assets required for the provision of the key provision, quality of provision and financial efficiency. The revlew l¢)oks at the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need Ig match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves. A minimum level of unrestricted funds and restricted funds should be mainlained, to provide uninterrupted services. Outside of the Capital projecl reserves, much of the reslricled reserves are held for the provision of critical longer-term Irealmenl and therapy programmes. Unrestrlcted reserves The Charity has historically aimed lo maintain free reserves equivalent to no more than six months foMafd overhead expenditure. At 3101 December 2023 unrestricted free reserv8s {unreslrict8d funds less amounts included in tangible fixed assets) amounted to £2,712,072 which is equivalent lo jusl over seven months forward overhead expenditure. The increase is in line with the previous years and is predicted lo be back lo 6 months in 2024. Through ils risk management slrate9y, the Charity also manages risks assoclaled with cash Ilow, investment and money markets. Free reserves are maintained so that In the event of a sudden decline in income, contractual commitments to staff and funding partners can be maintained. The Charily also held £1,140,000 in designated funds. These funds have been designated for the purpose of matching the funding of various projects. These include the final year of a three year projecl with Ihe The Edward Gostling Foundation lo support our Sports Equipment and Equipment programmes. £1.000,000 was designated for the CCAS clinical services to show resilience and guarantee the services for the year ahead. Restricted Reserves In order to meet our strategic objectives and long-term commitments we have specifically raised funds for the following specific purposes.. The provision of providing therapies and treatment for disabled children The provision of specialist equipment for disabled children To provide practical and emotional support to disabled children and their familles In tlmes of crisis To build, equip and provide Autism assessments from a flagship centre for disabled children as an exemplar of good practice As at the end 2023, £20.763,688 was held in iestricled funds of which £16,467,081 is for the sole use of our innovative purpose-built centre for assessment, support and research which will is being depreciated over a 50 year period. £346.460 is held for our in-house Autism programme. In addition to these £2,087,040 funds are held for trealment, therapy and equipment provision. These funds provide core services, ensuring that we can provide equipment and Se￿ICe$ for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable families. Our fundraising ensures that funds are solely available for the specific purpose of providing treatment, therapy, and equipment and Iherefore are not compromised by the planned expansion of our charitable activities. 13 CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORTI (continued} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEM8ER 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW With Ihe support of our major benefactors, every pound donated is able to be donated directy lo Caudwell Children's setvices supporting children, young people and their families.
