Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
Objects of the Charity, principal activities and organisation of our work & Strategic Report
Kith & Kids is constituted as a company limited by guarantee whose membership consists of people with disabilities plus members of their families. The company and its predecessor (unincorporated) association have been working in the disability field for 54 years.
The charity’s object and its principal activity is the relief of all forms of disability. Primarily our focus is on learning disability and autism but many of those we support also have a physical or sensory disability.
Kith & Kids began life as a self-help group of families trying to deal as individuals with the problems of coping with a wide variety of disabilities, who found that by working together they could provide mutual support and make themselves heard. Kith & Kids is proud of the fact that, although the scale and range of its activities has increased far beyond what the founders of Kith & Kids had envisaged, its membership still includes those same families, who are prominent in the work we do.
The origins of Kith & Kids were in London and this remains where our operations are based and run.
What we do is, to the best of our knowledge, unique in the level of support we provide to our membership and the degree to which we involve the membership in our projects and in the running of the charity. During term time Kith & Kids runs weekend Clubs led by professional activity leaders (involving dance, drama, art, music, massage, sports, cooking) for late teens and young adults with disabilities, plus a new Club for children aged 10 to 14. Each session is planned around the disabled member’s individual needs, with volunteers supporting the member to join in. Friendships develop further by providing the opportunity for members and their volunteers to go outside the confines of Clubs by arranging special outings around London, chosen by the members. During school holidays, we run large and lively social development Projects (essentially longer forms of the Clubs, plus a summer camp) running for one or two weeks.
For teens transitioning to adulthood we offer Employment & Life Skills activities (including experience working in one of our retail shops and conducting station collections), regular Healthy Living sessions (to improve physical or mental wellbeing), social activities, independence weekends away and the opportunity to join in with our football team, choir, yoga club or sanjuro. We also offer dedicated support for families through our Kith & Kids Lifetime Advocacy Support Project (trusted advocates who can act on behalf of disabled members and their families) plus specialist respite weekends away for profoundly disabled members who live at home (to allow their parents a break, to relax or focus on their other children). Kith & Kids also provides activities for siblings of disabled members, ensuring we support the entire family.
We are fortunate to have a staff team whose commitment to our members ensures they will use all their creativity and flexibility to help our families overcome the extra challenges they are facing. At the same time, they will do whatever they can to support non-member families (and other organisations) when they approach us for information and/or support.
All of these services, supported by a large group (200+) volunteers, work to improve the quality of our members’ lives, foster their inclusion in the wider community and promote a greater awareness of disability in society at large. Our highly-valued volunteers give their time and energy to make these activities possible and to create a fun and stimulating atmosphere for our members to thrive in.
Kith & Kids has a governing board of trustees, many of whom have children who are members, who meet monthly as the Management Committee. Day-to-day management is in the hands of a full-time CEO (formerly Marjolein de Vries, who very sadly passed away unexpectedly on 6 August 2023. Our Interim CEO is longtime staff member Robin Stone). Ten members of staff (three part-time) were employed on the work of the charity.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
We would like to thank the trustees and those parents who have given their time voluntarily to provide pro-bono advice/services to the charity to ensure Kith & Kids continues to operate for the benefit of all the members. Their efforts have enhanced and enriched our work and we are grateful for their input.
Public Benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Developments, activities and achievements during 2022-2023
After the disruption created by Covid in the previous two years, plus several stops and starts, Kith & Kids finally returned to its Irish Centre office in September 2022. Everyone within Kith & Kids – members, parents, the staff team, work-shoppers, volunteers, trustees – all worked together to get the charity back on track with its services. This was recognised by the award of a further three-year accreditation by Investors in People in early 2023.
Details regarding our services and finances follow below.
1) Social Development
Weekend Clubs continued to be well-attended during this period (approximately 15 members) and all returned to face-to-face contact. We were delighted to return to Treehouse School for these. We had our summer project 2022 at Merryhills Primary School in Enfield. The venue itself is ideal (at a reasonable cost) – lots of space, separate rooms, outdoor playground areas, a hall and canteen – but we recognised it was difficult for several of our members to attend. We put families in touch with each other to support with transport and this will enable more members to participate fully in future.
Our core group of work-shoppers are supportive and several others offer great flexibility in joining us when they can – their goodwill is much appreciated. The atmosphere at projects is as it always was: members and volunteers (and staff) love the positive, supportive approach which Kith & Kids offers.
We also very successfully started new Children’s Clubs for a younger contingent in January 2023, funded by the National Lottery Fund grant. It began with four children aged 8-12 (three boys and one girl), who are all very different but mostly enjoy the group activities we run. The Children’s Club runs for 2.5 hours on a Saturday morning, prior to the adult club. The children have a group activity, then individual playtime, then another group activity. We have received interest from several more families and are pursuing the expansion of the younger club. This will allow a new generation of families to join Kith & Kids, taking the charity into the future.
We are profoundly grateful to the Four Acre Trust, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP, the National Lottery Fund and the Reed Foundation for their crucial financial support for our Social Development projects and activities. We also warmly thank all our other supporters, including all those who participated in the Big Give Christmas Challenge and the London Marathon, who have so generously contributed (in effort, time and funds) to ensuring the success of our social development projects and activities.

2) Services for Transition into Adulthood and beyond
After the return of the Employment & Life Skills group ( ELSP ) to the Irish Centre, we saved money by starting to run sessions in the Kith & Kids office. This transition has gone relatively smoothly. We receive regular enquiries from interested families/social workers and explore with them how the sessions might suit possible new members.
Social evenings are usually held three times per term and continue to be well-attended. We usually have sufficient volunteers attending each outing, made up some long-term volunteers and a number of new ones, which keeps enthusiasm levels high for everybody. The socials can be expensive for Kith & Kids, so we’ve started cutting down on more expensive outings (a meal at a restaurant only happens once per term) and members are encouraged to consider cheaper options when choosing activities.
Residential projects increased in size at the start of 2023, now consisting of both Monday and Friday groups (plus ex-group members). There are usually 12 - 13 members attending and we are always very close to having 1-1 support on the outset of the project (last minute withdrawals of members & vols can happen). We feel both groups enjoy having a larger group to go away together with. Fundraising for the residential projects has been exclusively via train station collections. The members’ attitude to these collections has improved markedly over the past couple of years, as they’ve seen how lucrative each collection can be if they’re fully staffed. The card readers that we now use usually account for approximately half the sums raised at each collection.
Within our programme of regular Healthy Living Activities , the football team is completely back to normal and held a wonderful tournament in July 2022 at the Tottenham PowerLeague pitches. The tournament had five Kith & Kids teams competing with one another, with the support of BlackRock volunteers. The overall Kith & Kids team continues to expand (approximately 26 players), plus has a strong pool of volunteers and an extremely committed and enthusiastic volunteer coach.
Partly due to the hesitance that some of our Choir members felt about singing face-to-face, and partly due to our difficulty in finding a suitable rehearsal space, we continued with our zoom choir until the start of the autumn term 2022. From then on choir sessions were hybrid events, with those able to do so singing together in person in the Kith & Kids office and others joining on-line from their homes. Despite some initial technical hitches, it proved to be a very enjoyable mix. The choir comprises a good mix of members, parents, friends and volunteers. They participated in carol singing at station collections in December 2022 and performed their annual concert at law firm Penningtons.
3) Family Support / Kith & Kids Life-time Advocacy Support Project (KLASP)
The KLASP project caters for families with disabled adult children who receive specialist support from two Kith & Kids staff members. We also have members whose disabled children have sadly passed away but who remain active helpers.
We were able to visit all the relevant care homes and supported living set-ups after the previous years’ Covid limitations. The most frequent concerns raised by our staff members and KLASP parents are in relation to a lack of stimulating activities for (too many) residents and poor communication between residential providers and parents of learning-disabled adults.
In addition, KLASP provided parent meetings (via Zoom) and also held free on-line workshops related to “Wills and Trusts”, “Learning Disability and the Law” and “Residential Options and Advocacy”. The latter two were organised by parent and founder Maurice Collins and we thank him for his tremendous effort and energy in providing these valuable on-line workshops.

Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
From April 2022 we were able to once again provide Respite Weekends for four disabled adults living with parents. As no amount of telephone support and Zoom activities can make up for the breaks these families so desperately need, this development was greeted with great relief by the parents and absolute joy by the disabled participants.
4) Social Enterprise development .
The ELSware shop (for ELSP members) continued to establish itself in the Chingford Mount area and now has some regular customers. Members work shifts supported by volunteers and have gradually grown in confidence to move from carrying out tasks in the rear of the shop to customer-facing roles in the front of the shop. We are working to make the shop stand out and embed it further in the local community.
The two shops in Enfield that provide most of the funding for KLASP continued to operate well, but it became necessary for us to consider combining the two shops into one for two main reasons: the development plans of the new owner of 61 Church St would have severely reduced our work/shop space, plus a combined shop would help with the number of staff and volunteers we require. We began actively looking for new premises. Kith & Kids parent Peter Godfrey worked incredibly hard to manage and develop the KLASP shops during this period, while looking for new premises and creating a new enterprise (for house clearances and supporting people with the process of legacy/inheritance of property).
5) Finance and Fundraising overview
The year 2022-2023 was a challenging year but by the start of 2023 we were cautiously optimistic that we could continue and develop, if all involved with the charity did whatever they could to help. Our normal range of fundraising activities includes grants fundraising, corporate support, match-funding campaigns, eliciting individual donations, sponsored events, community fundraising (including choir carolling at stations), charity shops and station collections.
The previous financial year had left us with a deficit of £22,533, wiping out the previous gains we had made and also the usual three months’ operating costs we keep in reserve as a buffer against emergencies. In light of the 2020-2021-2022 government support having ended and a number of previous income streams not having recovered, grants funding was crucial for us for the year 2022-2023, to not only build up our emergency reserves again, but to continue our much-needed existing services and also create new activities for a younger contingent (requests for this have increased significantly over the past few years).
We started an expanded programme of grants fundraising (with support from a fundraising consultant) to try to raise the necessary income. Even though unrestricted funds were tight, we had no alternative but to invest in our fundraising capacity in this way as we knew other income streams would take more time to recover and new ones would take longer to develop.
During 2022-2023 we received grants from Baily Thomas Charitable Fund, Big Give Challenge (Reed Foundation), BlackRock, EHB Trust, Four Acre Trust, Gatsby, Harrison Frank Foundation, Julian Armstrong Family Trust, Pears and Scream. In November 2022 we were also heartened by the news that we had been successful in our application to the National Lottery Fund (a grant of £80,000 per year for three years, £240,000 overall).
Events and community fundraising were still well down on our previous “normal” patterns (we had only seven marathon runners and no takers at all for Ride London Essex). Additionally, a school we had invested quite a bit of time in fell away when they were unexpectedly closed down by their new owner – upsetting for all involved.

Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
Station collections resumed in July 2022 and averaged approximately £1,000 per collection, which has been boosted by the use of card readers for the first time.
At the end of the reporting period the charity made an overall deficit of £7,296 (2022: £22,533 deficit). The total reserves of the charity at the end of the reporting period were £205,278 (2022: £212,574), of which £172,929 (2022: £80,865) were unrestricted and £32,349 (2022: £131,709) were restricted.
6. Reserves Policy
As much as possible, the charity attempts to hold financial reserves of three months’ operating costs, due to it having no income from investments/endowments and being largely dependent for income on grants, donations and sponsored events (which are subject to fluctuation). In the 2022-2023 financial year, our reserves were depleted due to the longer time it took for income streams to return to relative normality after Covid. We plan to build those up again. Ultimately, the aim is to have six months’ running costs (to ensure continuity of service where a short-term funding gap occurs or to support our beneficiaries, wherever possible, to access an alternative provision).
Events after the end of the reporting period
In the months since 31 March 2023, Kith & Kids has entered a state of transition following the unexpected death of its longtime CEO Marjolein de Vries on 6 August 2023. This has clearly had a large impact on the charity -- emotionally, financially and organisationally. Further details will be included in the 2023-2024 annual report next year, however the following summary provides details of the main measures taken since Marjolein’s death.
Strategy planning : Management Committee Chair (Venessa Ilich) and Interim CEO (Robin Stone) took over the roles previously carried out by Marjolein. In consultation with the rest of the Management Committee, an action plan was devised for the short-term (to ensure we improved our cashflow as quickly as possible and kept services operating), medium-term (to ensure income kept coming in until we had a new CEO on board) and in the long-term (when we knew we would eventually be in receipt of a generous bequest left to us in Marjolein’s will).
Staffing : The staff team supported Robin in his work as Interim CEO by revising their roles and covering gaps. Venessa co-ordinated the Management Committee and has liaised with Robin continuously.
Stabilising cashflow : Via invoicing to parents, applications for Gift Aid, grant applications, a pledge kitty by internal lenders and preparing cashflow forecasts to assist our planning for the future. Kith & Kids is also in line to receive a bequest left to the charity in Marjolein’s will.
Business Plan : Has been updated in preparation for the recruitment of a new CEO and for viewing by possible future funders.
Recruitment of new CEO : A panel of trustees and Robin have been interviewing recruitment agencies specialising in not-for-profits and charities, with a view to going out to market in the new year. Robin has agreed to stay on as Interim CEO until the new CEO is appointed.
Looking ahead
We also continue to focus on the following areas of development:
Events fundraising : Station collections, the London Marathon, email campaigns.
Website revamp – Currently underway, to give the Kith & Kids home site a fresh new look.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
Social media presence – Being given a boost to attract new volunteers and funders. The planned recruitment of a new Projects Co-ordinator with skills in this area will assist with this task.
Development of ELSP and KLASP shops : To allow more opportunities for work experience, stock replenishment and volunteer support. Plans for the updated website and a wider social media presence will assist in the development of an on-line shopping portal for the shops.
Re-establishing summer camp : Which were not possible to run in the past few years due to Covid (2020, 2021), a lack of funds (2022) or a shortage of volunteers (2023).
Restoration of reserves : Build up / set aside three months’ operating costs for emergencies, which is our usual practise.
Organisational development to support all the above : Including recruitment of necessary new staff, diversifying existing staff roles, further recruitment to / engagement with the Management Committee, developing new income streams, forging new relationships with funders and the development of plans for the future once the new CEO comes on board.
With dedicated team effort, Kith & Kids has managed its way successfully through several difficult months since the end of the 2022-2023 financial year and is looking to a brighter 2024. We intend to take forward the best aspects of Kith & Kids (many of them forged while under the stewardship of our late and beloved CEO Marjolein de Vries) while developing new ideas that will place Kith & Kids on a prosperous path for many years to come.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

2. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant judgements
There have been no judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £2,500 are not capitalised.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Equipment | - | Straight line basis over 3 years |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Sensory Room | - | Straight line basis over 3 years |
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of the deemed value of the item donated and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Kith & Kids is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.

24. Analysis of charitable funds (continued)
Purposes of Restricted Income Funds
Restricted funds consist of the following projects and activities: -
Projects and Activities
These are our projects and activities for members with disabilities focusing on personal development, social inclusion and access to leisure and cultural activities. These include our 2:1 Social Development Projects, Weekend Clubs, Friendship Scheme and the Employability and Life Skills Project.
Advocacy, Family Support & Outreach
These include our Self-Advocacy Project for more able members who have autism and/or a learning disability, Citizen Advocacy for those with profound disabilities, Crisis Advocacy for those in immediate and urgent need of support. It also includes an information and support service to enable parents and sibling carers to help each other and themselves with regard to the care of and service provision for their disabled child/sibling.
As an extension to the work we do with our member families, the Charity works to spread the experience, knowledge and techniques to a wider public. We do this by training events, seminars and promoting ongoing networks such as the Learning Disability Forum.
KLASP
The object of this distinct activity is to enable Kith & Kids to maintain support for our disabled members whose parents/carers have died or are incapacitated and no longer able to support their disabled sons/daughters themselves. KLASP provides a regular independent visitor service and recourse to advocacy support where needed.
