BREAKING OUT OF THE BUBBLE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Endod 31 March 2025 Breakin Out of the Bubble Directors, Re ort 2025 Trust for London COMMUMITY FUND We are pleased that we have been able to work face to face In our rooms In 336 durlng all of the past year. It's great to have thls space of our own. Thanks to Tudor Trust for maklng that possible as well as some Important admln and governance work. We really love our rooms and it's really important that PWLDS can drop in to work wlth us, tell us about thelr problems or just chat. As well as dropping in PWLDS have been able to come to the regular face to face groups or meetlngs we hold. Of course, we attend some Zoom meetlngs when we have to, and share lots of phone calls and emalls, but we see each other and other people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles (PWLDS) every weekday except for most Frldays. Often, PWLDS don't have computers, tablets, or smart phones. It's really Important that they can come and see us In a place they know how to find, because It's not safe out there at all, not these days. We are contlnulng to do a lot of supportln9 of PWLDS to be safer and get out of bad sltuatlons with people who are uslng and abuslng them. We have also contlnued to spread the word a lot about how to support PWLDS to be safer In the communlty and deal wlth hate crlme and hate Incldences. Also, some of the few PWLDS we work wlth who do have smart phones and tablets are contlnulng to get Into trouble wlth people onllne who want to take advantage of them. We have supported those PWLDS too. Part of this work has Involved tralnlng new recruits to Lambeth and Southwark Metropolltan Pollce. Slnce our last dlrettors report we have provlded 3 pollce tralnlng workshops for over 20 new recrults. We have also provlded 2 onllne safety workshops, one for Dlsablllty Advlce Service Lambeth's (DASL) Parents wlth Learnlng Dlfflcultles peer group and the other for People Flrst Self-advocacy. We really need to keep worklng wlth people to deal wlth these horrlble Issues and have been supportlng PWLDS to avoid or deal wSth the same sorts of15sues we mentloned In our last dlrectors report such as online scammlng, blackmalllng and threatenlng abuse. We now have fundlng from Trust for London's Soclal Justlce Fund to strengthen our organlsatlon, so that we can go for#vard qulte a long way into the future. 'So, when any of us leave... other people can come in and know how we work in the way of Breaking Out of the Bubble, Glna For a lot of years, we have gone from projett to project and back-to-back sUPPOrting local PWLDS. We haven't had enough tlme to think about making sure that we flnd ways to share all the thlngs we know about worklng together and all the training and guidance we have developed. It's great that we now have the resources to do thls. Page 2

Nell 'It'$1Ske Influenclng other organlsatlons and other places to work the way we work,.. If they dont do It then people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles won't get the treatment we've got. So, we Just want It to go a blt further. Glna 'People wlth learnlng dllficultles can do a lot of thlngs In life but some people don't understand people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles. They thlnk we are Just11ttle teddy bears that's why they look down on us. Some people Just don't See us as people. People need to know who we really are as PWLDS.

BREAKING OUT OF THE BUBBLE LTD REPORT OF TME TRUSTEES for the Ye•r Ended 31 March 2025 Trust for London supported us to feel confident about our Ideas and put together the best application possible. We also wanted to work alongslde dlfferent funders so that they can be as supportlve as posslble to PWLDs applylng for fundlng. We Included thls In our appllcatlon to TFL'S Dlsablllty Justlce Fund. We have made a good start, thlnklng up questions and working on developing questionnaires about working with funders, for both funders themselves and learnlng dlfflculty organ15ations who receive or want to receive funding. We have also made useful contacts when attending networking events and conferences. For example, Learnlng Olsability England have agreed to send completed questlonnalres out to all thelr members. Thls year we recelved fundlng from the Natlon Lottery Awards for All to contlnue our face to face support work wlth PWLD and develop Involvement with older PWLD who are missing out on self-advocacy support. We have started worklng on gettlng In contact wlth older PWLD In care homes. We have Ilaised wlth jenny Johnson from the Lambeth Safeguardlng Adults Board who has helped us wlth contact detalls for people who can help us move forward. Thls fund has also enabled us to contlnue supportlng Indlvldual PWLDS to deal wlth thelr problems, be safer and mlx In more wlthln the local communlty, Includlng communlty organlsatlons that they were unable to access prevlously, Last year with the support of Heart n Soul, we leamed a lot more about soclal medla and how it can be used to communlcate with others In useful ways. Slnce then we have redeslgned our webslte and bullt up our soclal medla presence and onllne communlcatlons. We regularly post on X and Facebook, updatlng people about what BOB Is dolngi reachlng 150 followers now. We have also created a monthly 'BOB news blast, emall newsletter uslng Mallchlmp. We send Informatlon about the work we have done and what we will be doing to people on our malllng Ilst, whlch has led to more people belng aware of us. We also mentlon the actlvltles of other organlsatlons we attend such as the Healthy Llvlng Platform and Platform Communlty Café. Thls has kept our members and other servlce users Informed of both what BOB Is dolng and what they Can get Involved In wlthln the communlty. Last year we got a new radio show of our own at Brlxton Radlo, whlch Is stlll golng. We talk about all sorts of issues including what life is like for PWLDS and the support we want. But, we also talk about how to keep as happy as possible and what matters In Ilfe and lots of other things, not all good. One of the Important thlngs about the show Is that It's us, PWLDS, dolng It. People can tune In to 8rlxton Radlo and hear a show run by PWLDS. They can hear what we are really Ilke and know what we can do, Including making jokes and lifting people's spirits.

BREAKING OUT OF THE BUBBLE LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 structure, Governance and Management The organlsation 15 a charitable company limlted by guarantee, Incorporated on IS July 1999 and reglstered as a charlty on 4th Aprll 2000. The alm of the company Is to support people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles who Ilve In Lambeth and the area so they can have the same réghts as everyone else. The company was established under a Memorandum of As50ciatlon whlch establlshed the objects and powers of the charitsble company and Is governed under Its Articles ofAssoclatlon. In the event ofthe company belng wound up members are requlred to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. The dlrectors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charlty law and under the company's Artlcles are known as members of the Management Commlttee. Under the requlrements of the Memorandum and Artlcles ofAssoclation the members of the Management Commlttee retire every year but may be -elette by the full members at the Annual General Meetlng. Due to the nature of the work of 8reakln9 Out Of The Bubble and the fact that Is a user led oryanlsatlon we have a pollcy that states that only people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles are allowed to become full members of the Management Commlttee and so have legal control over the organlsatlon. However, the members of the commlttee make use of the servlces of "advlsors" who have experlence In charlty admlnlstratlon. We currently have two advlsors who have more than 20 years experlence each as dlrectors and managers of varlous charltles and projerts. We belleve that people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles are the experts about what people wlth learnlng dlfflcultles need and so It Is natural and correct that they wlll have control ol our oryanlsatlon. For these reasons we say that we are a Dlsabled Peoples Organlsatlon. Two dlrectors have left the Commlttee thls year and whlle we welcome new appllcatlons to become a dlrector we are pleased to have most of the same stable group for another year. Company law reoulres the Management Commlttee to prepare financlal statements for each flnanclal year whlch glve a true and falr vlew of the state of the affalrs of the charltable company as at the balance sheet date and of its Incomln9 59r¢e$ and appllcatlon of resources, Includlng Income and expendlture, for the flnanclal year.
