## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

The past year was one of change and adjustment. We came through the worst of the pandemic and built up to coming into 336 every weekday, usually. It was great for the team in Breaking Out of the Bubble (BOB) and the people with learning difficulties (PWLDs) we support to be back together in person. While we had provided Zoom meetings for those who could access them, most of our communication with our members was via one to one and group conference calls as Zoom meetings were not accessible to most. 

When Supporting Each Other Equals Power, our joint project with SCIE and People First Self-advocacy, ended we talked in depth in our team and with our members about what we wanted to do in the future, what we want BOB to focus on. We decided our time would be best used working mostly on supporting other organisations and people to understand who PWLDs are really, how we need to be included more in society and how we need to be supported to have a life with improved wellbeing and safety. 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
‘The reason why they don’t see us is because the<br>people with learning difficulties are hidden away.<br>They want to hide us away but we don’t want that.<br>…Basically, if they know more about us they will get<br>us and that will help them and that will help us’.<br>(Jen): ‘and it will be a better place to live in’ (Gina).<br>‘They have views about us and they don’t know<br>us so how can you have a view about us if you<br>don’t know what we’re really like’ (Gina).<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>



**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
‘They look down on us and everyone is looking<br>happy and leaving us out all the time. They keep<br>hiding us away and pretending we don’t exist<br>but we do exist and they are making things<br>difficult for us, but we need to get on with life<br>like everybody else. …Society has got some<br>problems with people with learning difficulties.<br>They need to work with us, get to know us and<br>communicate with us, not push us underneath<br>the carpet like we are nothing because we are<br>people, people with learning difficulties’ (Jen).<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>

‘Not enough is being done to help people<br>with learning difficulties to become part of<br>the community… So, we have to go out there<br>and educate them about what learning<br>disability is. What learning disability is about<br>and what specific problems people with<br>learning disabilities have… It will make going<br>about a lot easier for us if we know people<br>are going to treat us the right way’ (Neil).<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>

‘We are trying to reach them in<br>the brain so they treat people<br>with learning difficulties better’<br>(Wenda).<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The two main projects we worked on, the Big Lottery funded hate crime work with Inclusion London and the Trust For London funded Out There project, about influencing other organisations to be able to involve PWLDs further in the local community went very well and we were able to learn and share a lot while supporting other PWLDs. A smaller project funded by Bailey Thomas also went well enabling us to develop further necessary IT skills, practice and support. 

On the Out There Project we developed training and built up links with a wide range of local organisations as well as providing training and consultation on how to support and involve PWLDs so they feel welcome and are included. We didn’t only send emails and leaflets explaining our work to different organisations, we met up, which takes some arranging and often rearranging. 

We began and continued to host a weekly BOB group for PWLD’s, where people get experience of speaking out and telling us their views and wishes. We divided those who attend into two halves. One half comes one week and the other the next. This was necessary because of spacing and coronavirus. 

Page 3 



## **BREAKING OUT OF THE BUBBLE LTD** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

People who attend this group learn more about speaking up and their rights and choices. They also talk about any concerns or interests they have. We tell them about our work and find out what they think. Here are some comments that BOB members have made when asked if they feel like their voices are heard in the group (names have been changed): 

‘Most definitely. I wish there were more places like this’(Arthur). 


‘Yes. It’s nice to get our voice heard. That’s why we have a management committee, innit. We talk about different things and we go out’ (Jane). 

- ‘It’s lovely to come here on a Thursday. More happier to come here’ (Alicia). 

- ‘You’re surrounded by people. Good people. I haven’t run into anyone that’s upset me yet’ (Arthur). 

In addition, we applied to Trust for London for funding for BOB to commission and oversee another organisation to work in collaboration with us supporting people to go where they want and mix in outside in settings that are not just for PWLDs. Part of the reason for doing this is that we want BOB to stay small. We all think being small helps us to work better and allows all of us to be involved in the decisions we need to make in BOB day in day out, as well as the big ones about what new work we want to do and how to move forward with our work. 

We applied to the National Lottery to continue our work that we were doing with Inclusion London as part of their Hate Crime Partnership. Inclusion London got the funding for us last time from the Big Lottery Partnership Fund. The rules changed and organisations can’t fund other organisations any more so us and Inclusion London both just applied separately. We talked with each other to make sure our funding bids would work together in the most useful way. We titled our application Protecting Ourselves Together. The problem is PWLDs ended up unsafe within our local community for other reasons as well as hate crime. We know that if PWLD’s are not asked the right questions and supported the right way a lot of serious issues can go unchecked and not be dealt with. We wanted this project to have an influence nationally and explained to the Big Lottery how we plan to do that and why we think it is important. 

We supported people to deal with the following hate crime and incidences issues: internet scamming, coercion through dating and hook up sites, street mockery, thieving ‘friends’, rude and angry service staff, sexual abuse, forced entry of home, cuckooing and threats of murder and extreme violence. We have developed training about uncovering abuse and crime that might be happening and how to respond to it. We also provided consultation and/or training to a range of different organisations and people that will be mentioned later in this report. In addition we set up and ran a fortnightly Keeping Safe, Well and Happy Group and gathered data for Inclusion London’s hate crime research. This data was also useful for recommendations we needed to produce later in the year so that Inclusion London and BOB can share nationally how to support PWLDs around the subject of hate crime and incidences. 

In March we hosted a large Hate Crime and Hate Incidences Conference. 30 PWLDs came along with supporters from local organisations for PWLDs as well as representatives from Lambeth and Southwark Councils, the community police, Transport for London, Wheels for Wellbeing, Transport for All, Generate UK, Inclusion London and DASL.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

We provided five different workshops, Being Safe Out and About, Police and Support, Being Safe in the Home, Being Safe on Transport and Being Safe Online. Police and Support was facilitated by one of Breaking Out of the Bubble staff with LDs and a Community Engagement Police Officer, Being Safe on Transport was facilitated by Transport for All and one of BOB’s staff with LDs. The rest of the workshops were facilitated by BOB staff. 

Ignite Me Theatre acted out a range of different hate crimes and incidences that PWLDs can experience. This was very well done and useful and helped to open up conversations in the workshops. 

The feedback forms we handed out at the end of the conference showed how much people had appreciated the day. Everyone, except for one person who said the conference was useful, said they found the conference very useful. 

People said the conference led to them understanding or understanding more about the following issues, cuckooing, internet catfishing to get money or information from people, sexual and other abuse, fake ‘friends’, the importance of asking questions about hate crime and incidences, the importance of having trusted people to talk with, what to do when a hate crime or incidence happens, and how as far as possible to avoid incidences and remain safe. People also said the conference helped them to understand what sort of hate crime issues PWLDs are facing and the scale of the problem. 

As always, once these subjects were discussed with PWLDs people started to tell us about hate crime and incidences that happened to them or are still happening. At times it was shocking to hear these stories about what has happened to people we know and care about. All of the hate crime and incidences mentioned previously had happened to one or the other of the PWLDs at the conference. 


We also started having face to face management committee meetings again and are back hosting Let’s Dance in Pop Brixton. 

‘Let’s Dance is an event that we put on and loads of people with learning difficulties and without learning difficulties come and dance. Everybody is together and we are mingling together. It is wonderful and we feel great about that’ (Gina). 

We were able to start taking full advantage of our new much bigger space, funded by Tudor Trust. 

It’s great having our own space and more room. Here are some of the things BOB staff with learning difficulties had to say about this. 

‘Having a big space makes our lives better because we can go from room to room we can work in different rooms. We can have private conversations, one to one, and a big group in the big room (Gina). 

‘Before we had this all the groups had to share a small space but now we have spread out our wings as we now have got space that we can use five days a week. We were here basically five days a week and that is so much more relaxing because we don’t have to worry about getting out of the way’ (Neil).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 



‘You can do the groups in here and I like this space. The one thing is you can have a laugh and joke because you can be a bit louder. When we had the small space we was all squashed up. It was not private’ (Wenda). 

We gave talks and/or training on our work supporting PWLDs, to the following: Share Community students and staff, Carers Hub management, carers with LDs and support staff, Lambeth Assembly, Kingston and St George’s University, Transport for All, Shaping Our Lives, The Cherry Gross Foundation, Wheels for Wellbeing, local police, Lambeth Assembly Health Week, Changing Our Lives, St John’s at Waterloo and DASL. We were requested to train staff in Loughborough Junction Farm and Playground Community Projects, the Advocacy Academy, Vida Walsh, St Vincent’s Community Centre and five local cafes. The Metropolitan Police Partnership and Prevention Team for Southwark and Lambeth requested we provide ongoing training for 20 to 30 new recruits starting in February, which we did. This led to us being asked to train 300 to 500 new recruits in Hendon Police College. Lambeth social services approached us in December to work with Elfrida Rathbone providing training for people with LDs on the benefits of vaccination for Covid 19, which we agreed to do. We also share our work with PWLDs and organisations who support them within Lambeth’s Learning Disability Forum and Assembly, which we attend regularly. 

In the year from April 2022 to April 2023 we worked with over 90 PWLDs and spoke with 23 of them at least every one or two weeks individually. 15 attend our BOB Group. 10 took part in our Keeping Safe Well and Happy Group, which focused on hate crime and abuse. These numbers show how well we managed to provide support, and training during such difficult times and how we continued to keep up with most of our contacts and started to develop new ones. 

Here are some quotes from the BOB team about our work. 

‘We’ve been meeting with the police and we are training them’ (Neil). 

‘And it’s ongoing’ (Gina). 

‘We do the BOB group every Thursday Afternoon’ (Wenda). 

‘We have two BOB groups because so many people want to come and it’s due to safety reasons as well because of Covid’ (Gina). 

‘If people want to draw, if people want to talk about anything they talk. Some people don’t want to talk they get on with their drawing’ (Wenda). 

‘They can talk about anything that’s bothering them or that they are wondering about because the thing about people with learning difficulties is we are quite curious about other people, curious about what’s going on in the outside world. People with learning difficulties love chatting as well. People with learning difficulties in our team are well versed in chatting. We just love to chat’ (Neil).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

‘We were talking to the police on Monday. It was good.’ (Wenda). 

‘Yesterday it was great talking to the police they are wonderful’ (Gina). 

‘The same police you saw before’ (Jen). 

‘Literally, we was talking about the event what we are going to do in March and it was great because they [Transport for All] were talking about what they were going to do. They are going to set up a table and talk and have things on their table, leaflets and all of that’ (Gina). 

‘And also, we are gonna train the new, who come, literally it’s a class for new cadets. We decided that we are going to do role-plays. There is one role-play in particular that I am gonna do’ (Gina). 

‘We did design the training for the Out There project and the police project. The training is great, what we train about’ (Gina). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## Governing Document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 15 July 1999 and registered as a charity on 4th April 2000. The aim of the company is to support people with learning difficulties who live in Lambeth and the area so they can have the same rights as everyone else. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. 

## Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee retire every year but may be re-elected by the full members at the Annual General Meeting. 

Due to the nature of the work of Breaking Out Of The Bubble and the fact that is a user led organisation we have a policy that states that only people with learning difficulties are allowed to become full members of the Management Committee and so have legal control over the organisation. However, the members of the committee make use of the services of “advisors” who have experience in charity administration. We currently have two advisors who have more than 20 years experience each as directors and managers of various charities and projects. 

We believe that people with learning difficulties are the experts about what people with learning difficulties need and so it is natural and correct that they will have control of our organisation. For these reasons we say that we are a Disabled Peoples Organisation. 

Two directors have left the Committee this year and while we welcome new applications to become a director we are pleased to have most of the same stable group for another year. 

## Responsibilities of the Management Committee 

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. 

The Management Committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 

The Management Committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Trust for London - Out There Project** 

The focus of the project is about influencing other organisations to be able to involve PWLDs further in the local community. 

On the Out There Project we developed training and built up links with a wide range of local organisations as well as providing training and consultation on how to support and involve PWLDs so they feel welcome and are included. We didn't only send emails and leaflets explaining our work to different organisations, we met up, which takes some arranging and often rearranging 

## **Inclusion London (Big Lottery Fund administered by Inclusion London) - Hate Crime Project** 

The project supported people to deal with hate crime and provided consultation and/or training to a range of different organisations 

## **Tudor Trust Grant towards general running costs** 

The majority of this Grant is used for our office space. The balance goes on Administration and Governance as well as other unfunded activity costs such as Telephone, Insurance and Payroll costs for example 

## **Bailey Thomas Information Technology "IT" Project** 

A small project funded by Bailey Thomas enabling us to develop further necessary IT skills, practice and support for PWLD
