Who are Caudwell Children?
Caudwell Children is a UK-based charity dedicated to changing the lives of
autistic and disabled children and young people.
Founded in 2000 in Stoke-on-Trent, we have gradually developed our
range of services to meet the needs of our beneficiaries and increased our
reach to help as many children as possible.
Constantly evolving we provide a wide range of practical and emotional
support services for children and young people aged o- 25 and campaign
to create a more inclusive world for everyone.
Mr John Caudwell
Founder & Chairman Emeritus
Passionate about providing supporters with
complete peace of mind our founder, John
Caudwell, generously matches up to one third of
all net annual income raised, to help cover core
non-service delivery overheads.

most vocal and passionate supporters; providing
regular gifts in kind or event opportunities to assist
the charity's fundraising efforts.

Chairman's Statement
Craig Bennett
As we prepare to celebrate 25 years since John Caudwell founded the charity,
It is clear that we are now on the cusp of an exciting new phase in its
development and growth.
During 2024 the trustee board and I have supported the operational team to
implement significant changes in processes and policies. These changes almost
immediately impacted the accessibility and efficiency of our services, resulting
in over 21,500 instances of'support to children and families across the UK during
the year.
It is also encouraging to see the incremental growth in completed assessments
and post-diagnostic support from our autism service, where we saw a 39%
increase from last year, all delivered by the expert clinical team at our
impressive facility in Keele, Staffordshire.
In November it gave me great pleasure to welcome Caudwell Children's new
Chief Executive, Claire Marshall.
Claire's extensive experience in charity leadership and professional fundraising
will undoubtedly serve the charity well in the months and years to come and
my fellow trustees and I wish her the very best of luck in this new role.
As we enter the 25th year of Caudwell Children I would like to express my
deepest thanks to every generous donor, supporter and volunteer who has
placed their trust in Caudwell Children during 2024, and to the dedicated
charity team who work tirelessly to serve the children and families we support.

CEO'S Statement
Claire Marshall
In the weeks since my return to the Midlands, where I spent much of my earlier
career, I have been immediately struck by the commitment and passion within
the Caudwell Children team for providing the very best care possible to the
children and families we support.
This passion forms the essence of what l am quickly beginning to understand it
means to be a 'Purple Person,. It is something so organic and altruistic that it is
almost palpable as you walk around our wonderful facilities and see the team
proudly wearing their purple uniforms or working to support our incredible
service delivery teams.
Having worked in the charity sector for over 30 years and recently receiving a
formal ADHD diagnosis myself, l am motivated and committed to furthering
the charity on its path towards achieving our mission to create a better world
for all disabled and neurodivergent children.
As charities like Caudwell Children grow and mature, so does their need to
expand and diversify. Therefore it is our job to listen closely to our stakeholders,
to understand what charity they need us to be. and to adapt in order to meet
those needs while operating safely, effectively and eff iciently.
Alongside John Caudwell, our Board of Trustees, our incredible team, and the
collective community of 'Purple People, l am positive that the months and years
ahead will see us move quickly in the direction towards our goal and that the
changes we implement will have a lasting impact on the lives of thousands
more children, young people and families.
I'm delighted and proud to be a part of this journey.
I'm proud to be 'Purple'.

"It's been really helpful
to meet other parents going
through the same challenges and
made being SEN parents feel less of
a lonely place. Plenty of information
provided and Emma was very
knowledgeable and friendly."

rvice Delive
In 2024, Caudwell Children delivered an outstanding
level of support, reaching more children and families
than ever before.
While some areas exceeded targets significantly,
others highlighted ongoing challenges where
additional funding and resources are needed.
Our focus remains on increasing accessibility to life-
changing services and ensuring every child receives
the support they deserve.
We are incredibly grateful to our funders, partners, and
supporters for making this impact possible.
"Prior to Imogen s autism diagnosis, she believed there was
something wrong with her. Now she celebrates her autism
and who she is. It s given her so many answers as to why
she struggles with certain things but excels in others.
Caudwell Children has been life-changing"

INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
Investments
As at 31st December 2024 the charity holds total cash reserves of £8.39m of which
£7.02m is deposited in a higher interest bearing instant access accounts. Due to the
nature of the reserves currently held for longer term critical therapy and treatment
programmes the charity is not in the position to deposit funds into any longer term
higher interest accounts.
As Trustees. we take a prudent approach when making decisions about investing
the Charity's funds. When investing the Charity's funds, we will aim to strike the
right balance between:
providing the best return on investments with minimal risk;
having sufficient funds available to allow the Charity to carry out its purposes
effectively;
Maintaining, and if possible, enhancing the value of invested funds whilst they
are retained.
Trustees, Powers of Investment
The Trustee Act gives trustees wide powers of investment, including shares in
companies: land rented or leased out by the Charity to tenants; interest-bearing
loans such as government bonds and deposits at banks or building societies; and
units in collective schemes, such as unit trusts.
As Trustees, we reserve the right to invest in any or all of such investments. We will
not invest in derivatives, private equity schemes, land purchased and developed
with a view to sale, works of art, or commodities such as gold or vintage wine,
acquired with a view to resale in the future at a profit.
As Trustees, we may delegate the management ofthe Chari.ty's investments to a
specialist either by investing in one or more collective investment schemes, such as
unit trusts; or delegating our investment decisions by appointing an investment
manager.

Investment Parameters and Restrictions
Our investment parameters and restrictions are reviewed each year and questioned
internally on a regular basis. All available options are weighed against our internal
policies so as to maximise opportunities whilst minimising risk and ethical concerns.
Given the above the followinq guidelinp.s rpmain in place.
All money to be invested at any particular time shall be agreed by the Charity
Trustees.At no point should the Charity be without sufficient funds to meet its
obligations. A regular cash-flow forecast must be prepared and reviewed before
additional investments are made.
Investments should be subject to minimal risk.
No investment should be made in company securities not listed on a recognised
stock exchange or in unit trusts not recognised under the Financial Services Act
2000.
There should be no holdings in single company investments.
The ethical statement set OLJt below applies to all investments made by the Charity.
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 to assist
and the capital investment required for our new charity building such medium and
long-term investments are not practical.

{INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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
take into consideration the assets required for the provision of the key provision,
quality of provision and financial efficiency.
The review looks at the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to
match variable income with fixed commitments and the nature of the reserves.
A minimum level of unrestricted funds and restricted funds should be maintained,
to provide uninterrupted services. Outside of the Capital project reserves, much of
the restricted reserves are held for the provision of critical longer-term treatment
and therapy programmes.
Unrestricted reserves
The Charity has historically aimed to maintain free reserves equivalent to no more
than six months forward overhead expenditure. At 31st December 2024 unrestricted
free reserves (unrestricted funds less amounts included in tangible fixed assets)
amounted to £2,469,510 which is equivalent to just over four months forward
overhead expenditure. Through its risk management strategy, the Charity also
manages risks associated with cash flow, 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 Charity also held £1,110,000 in designated funds. These funds have been
designated for the purpose of matching the funding of various projects.
£1,000,000 was designated for the CCAS clinical services to show resilience and
guarantee the services for the year ahead.

(INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
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
families in times 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 2024, £19,592,987 was held in restricted funds of which £16,134,442 is
for the sole use of our innovative purpose-built centre for assessment, support and
research which is being depreciated over a SO year period. £223,293 is held for our
in-house Autism programme. In addition to these £1,706,176 funds are held for
treatment, therapy and equipment provision.
These funds provide core services, ensuring that we can provide equipment and
services 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 therefore are not compromised
by the planned expansion of our charitable activities.

. F.INANCIAL REVIEW
The total income increased this year by £369,803 compared to 2023.
Total expenditure increased by £1.918,774 year on year.
Charitablè activity.in Scotland
As a charity registered in England, Wales and also in Scotland, we delivery our
services in all these areas. Caudwell Children offers and provided its services to
children across Scotland in 2024 including the provision of the New Get Sensory
packs.
Financial Planning '
We continue to manage the financial affairs through an annual planning process
that aligns operational plans to generating the required resources. This annual plan
is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure it provides us with the resources to meet
the charities goals to achieve the vision. The plan also focuses on raising people's
awareness of Caudwell Children, its work, disability and the challenges disabled
children and their families face.
Cash forecasting is critical to the charity's ongoing success and all funds are held in
instant access accounts to allow the SLT and Trustees to be flexible and reactive to
the demands on the charity. It is vital that these funds are accessible to provide the
equipment, treatment and therapy services and the family support needs.
Whilst Caudwell Children rely heavily upon voluntary income generated through
individual giving. This year we have continued to receive support from our corporate
supporters as well as regular donations from the public. We have also received
funding from individual trusts & foundations, NHS and energy Trusts as well as local
authority funding.
41

TRUSTEES, REPORT
(INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The charity is committed to grow its service delivery and therefore its fundraising,
whilst continuing to focus on efficiency. Whilst we are proud to deliver the highest
quality of services, we are equally proud, if not more so of the efficient manner in
which they have been developed and delivered in line with the needs of the young
people, children and families, focused on a person-centred approach and all
achieved by a tremendously well lead and managed team.
We are extremely grateful to our committed and generous supporters and
volunteers who have given their time and money, and we wish to inspire other
supporters to join Caudwell Children's journey to help children, young people and
families to receive the support they need so that they can reach their full potential
and achieve their ambitions throughout their lifetime. The charity is ensuring the
voice of their beneficiaries and stakeholders are heard and can influence change,
life plans and societal issues which ensure this can occur,
All donors, supporters and partnerships are very important to the team and of
course are the back bone of the success of the charity's outcomes. They are
supported and are interacted with, with respect and as their requests denote which
are reflected in the ongoing donor strategy.
Costs of generating funds
The cost of generating funds in 2024 was £l,244,499,' an increase of £165,007 on
2023. It costs on average 16.8 pence to raise each £1 which is an increase on the 2023
cost of15.4 pence per £1. We are aware of the need to strengthen and sustain our
fundraising whilst continuing to control costs in a challenging economic climate.
Throughout 2024 we continued to invest funds to create and enhance a stable long-
term giving as well as short-term one-off events with a targeted ROI of 4.1.
By employing all of the above processes, the trustees are satisfied that the financial
management is well controlled and they and the SLT are fully informed and
equipped to manage the current situation we all find ourselves in.

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
The board of directors, who are the Trustees, and the CEO supported by the SLT
comprise the key management personnel of the Charity in charge of directing and
controlling. running and operating the Charity on a day-to-day basis. All Directors
give their time freely and no Director received remuneration in the year. All
Directors expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 7 to the
accounts.
The pay of the SLT is reviewed annually and is increased in line with performance set
against pre-defined targets. SLT members have their salaries benchmarked against
similar roles in other organisations of a similar nature. Some key strategic targets
need to be managed over several years and as such can be incentivised via long
term bonuses in such a way which can lead to fluctuations in staff payroll figures
year on year.
Between October 2023 and March 2024 the trustees board added 5 additional
members with differing and complimentary professional expertise. In December
2024 one trustee resigned.
RISK MANAGEMENT
As Trustees, we are responsible for ensuring effective risk management, and that
internal controls are in place to appropriately manage the risk exposure of Caudwell
Children.
Caudwell Children review their risk management strategy as part of both IS09001
12015) and CQC requirements.
We, the Trustees, have completed our annual review of the risk management
strategy. I n the course of this review, we considered:
the major risks to which Caudwell Children is exposed to
the potential impact and probability associated with each risk
existing internal controls and accountability for them
mitigating actions needed to reduce each risk to a level that we consider to be
acceptable.
43

TRUSTEES, REPORT
(INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
All of these positions are recorded in a risk reg ister, which will continue to be
formally reviewed by the Trustees every year and is regularly monitored by the SLT
as part of the ISO & CQC process. The major financial risks are each subject to
ongoing monitoring and management. Major projects have formal project leads
that scrutinise their progress and ensure they are properly planned, implemented
and overseen in various meetings as noted within this document. The internal audit
function delivers a rolling programme of risk-based audits independently assessed
annually through our external inspection, which reviews progress of audits and
follow-up by management.
The Charity works closely with its appointed Audit team to mitigate financial risk
both on its current active programmes and on all future ventures.
Commercial Activities
Throughout 2024, we continued to review and develop plans for trading activities
including commercial sponsorships and product sales. We will continue to review
trading income and the establishment of a trading company taking into account
the general economic climate and looking to maximise brand alignment and
positioning.
Fundraising Activities
Following the implementation of the Charities, Protection and Social Investment
{PSl) Act 2016, the Charity has reviewed its fundraising activities and confirms that it
complies with the regulation. The Charity did not make use of any external
fundraisers. No complaints were received in respect of its fundraising activities.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees,
use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the
financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material
uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively,

information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our

misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF CAUDWELL CHILDREN
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on
page 45, the trustees {who are also the directors of the charitable company
for the purposes of company law} are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for
assessing the group's and the parent charitable company's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable
company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists, Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and
regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined
above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
51

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF CAUDWELL CHILDREN
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it
operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws
and regulations related to charity and company law applicable in England,
Wales and Scotland, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance
might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered
tFiose laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of
the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act
2011 and the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland) Act 2005.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent
manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of
controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting
inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in
accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement
team included:
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
Discussions with management including consideration of known or
suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and
fraud;
Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect
irregularities.
Identifying and testing journals, in particular those journal entries which
exhibited the characteristics we had identified as possible indicators of
irregularities. and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their
accounting estimates.
52

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE
MEMBERS AhJD TRUSTEES OF CAUDWELL CHILDREN
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not
detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in
the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from
the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will
be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is
also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error,
as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
www.frc.org.
ditorsresponsibil.
. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in
accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, section
4411}(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland) Act 2005 and
regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our
audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an
Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for
our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparatlon
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Fiecommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FF2S
1021 (effective Ist January 20151 (Charities SOFIP IFRS10211, the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006,
Caudwell Children meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities
are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant
accounting policy notes.
Golng Concern
Given the charitable company's favourable fundraising record and the level of free reserves available at
the year end, the Trustees consider that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue
in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis.
Basls of Consolldatlon
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary CCG
D&B Ltd on a line-by-line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and
Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the charity has taken advantage
of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Income
Income has been recognised gross on the basis of entitlement, probability and measurement.
Donations and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as incoming resources when
receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement. For legacies, entitlement is
taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the
estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executorlsl to the Trust that a
distribution will be made. or when a distribution is received from the estate.
Gifts in Kind income represents various services donated free of charge to charity in relation to all of its
activities including the Butterfly Ball. This income is only included in incoming resources when it can
be reliably estimated.
Investment Income
Investment income reflects the amount receivable for the year.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis.
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, in particular grant
funding and the costs of maintaining the Charity's profile within the sector. Costs are apportioned on
the basis of hours worked.
Expenditure relating to Children in the Community is the element of expenditure directly incurred in
performing these activities. Provision is made for grants when approved by the Trusteeslmanagement.
Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the Charity's assets and are
primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. Governance costs are now
allocated to charitable activities in full.
61

Foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at
the time of the transaction. Foreign currency balances are translated at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the Balance Sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses incurred in respect of service
provision are included in the SOFA within charitable activity expenditure for the period in which they
are incurred.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. The financial threshold for capitalising an
asset is £l,000.Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual
value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows..
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
36 months straight line
Value of leasehold
125 years straight line
Buildings
50 years straight line
Accumulated funds
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for the use at the Trustees, discretion in
furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The
purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the Trustees for
particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial
statements.
Pensions
The pension costs in respect of the defined contribution scheme charged in the financial statements
represent the contributions payable by the Charity in the year. The scheme is closed to new members.
The Charity also operates a stakeholder pension scheme open to all employees.
Taxatlon
As a registered charity, Caudwell Children is potentiall.v exempt from taxation on its income and gains
falling within sS05 Income & Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and s256 Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act
1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable purposes. No tax charge has arisen in the year
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at
amortised with the exception of investments which are held at fair value. Financial assets held at
amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific
provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as
all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at
amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount
offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a
past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to
settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally
recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
62

Employ•• benefits
Short term benefits
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the
service is received.
Employee termination benefits
Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with Fris 102.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estirnation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates,
and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. flevisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future
period&
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting
assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adJLJStment to their
carrying amounts in the next financial year,
