WHOOPSADAISY BRIGHTON
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims The Objects are;
-
The relief of sickness, hardship and distress.
-
The preservation and protection of public health by educating the public and conducting research into the causes and prevention of cerebral palsy and publishing the results of such research.
-
To advance the education, training and rehabilitation of people suffering from cerebral palsy to enable them to gain paid employment and develop their potential as members of society.
The Charity was founded in 2000 to provide conductive education and therapy to children living with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders.
The principal activities are:
a) To develop and maintain a service provision where children with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders can develop, grow and learn so that they can live an independent life.
b) To provide access to conductive education in its fullest form for children with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders.
c) To advise and teach 'hands on' parents, carers, teachers and support assistants how to enable children with physical disabilities to access and navigate their environment more independently.
Significant activities
Whoopsadaisy aims to develop the independence, confidence and self-esteem of children who live with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders. We are the only charity in Brighton & Hove offering Conductive Education, a method of learning which builds on children's existing abilities and skills and helps to prepare them for tackling the challenges of everyday life more independently. Our office and all services are based at the Whoopsadaisy Pavilion, Preston Park, Brighton BN1 6HN.
Most of the children at Whoopsadaisy are affected by cerebral palsy. If a baby's brain is starved of oxygen during or prior to birth, the resulting brain damage can lead to motor impairment. This affects children's posture, co-ordination, balance and mobility, and the situation is often complicated by additional problems such as speech, communication and special educational needs.
Babies and young children attend Whoopsadaisy Under-fives sessions once a week throughout the academic year and are accompanied by their parent or carer. This enables the parents/carers to acquire new skills and form supportive friendships. Programmes are individually tailored to each child and can be repeated to help the child at home, thereby increasing the benefits from each session through repetition. It is crucial that the progress the children make is not lost once they start school, so we also run sessions during term time and Holiday Clubs for 5 to 12-year-olds and 13 - 19 years age group who currently attend Whoopsadaisy sessions. The Holiday Clubs also enable parents to take a break.
In 2023, we introduced our latest project: an inclusive youth club tailored for young people aged 13 to 19 years old. We operate weekly, inclusive activities specifically designed for this age group. These activities are youth-led, chosen by the participants, and include a diverse range of indoor/outdoor sessions, trips, and workshops. Our primary objective is to implement sessions grounded in the Conductive Education approach, aiming to strengthen the inclusion of disabled young people in educational, social, and employment spheres.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's main aims and objectives, and in planning future activities for the year. This they believe is demonstrated in the report.
Volunteers
Volunteers make an important contribution to our work, helping during the weekday sessions, and at our Holiday Clubs. They also help at social and fundraising events. All volunteers who work with children are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and receive training relevant to their role. Whoopsadaisy continues to invest in training and mentoring of volunteers to ensure that they are confident and competent to support children with a range of needs and their families.

Parental Feedback
We engaged with parents through one-on-one conversations, questionnaires, and videos. Here are some examples of positive feedback:
"We have been going to Whoopsadaisy for over 4 years now, and the progress our little boy has made is remarkable. A lot of this progress is due to the hard and loving work of the astounding team of professionals; apart from that Whoopsadaisy is also a great place to connect with other families going through a similar situation and this is very important to both us parents and also for our little ones, we are so glad we are part of it." - Willian
"The Conductive Education input my son receives at Whoopsadaisy has been highly effective and beneficial. The therapists and the volunteers have been instrumental in designing a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my son's needs, focusing on improving his motor skills and overall functionality. This, alongside the social aspect of the sessions where other kids of similar abilities work together, has helped my son progress and achieve important developmental milestones, all while making new friends.

WHOOPSADAISY BRIGHTON
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Overall, we are extremely pleased with Whoopsadaisy. The dedication, expertise and the friendly faces have made a significant positive impact on my son's physical abilities and quality of life. I would happily recommend their services to other families facing similar challenges." - Sanjeev
Volunteers
Our volunteer programme grew to 37 volunteers in 2023, with 25 helping in sessions for two hours once a week for 42 weeks of the year and 12 supporting fundraising events averaging 4 hours each per event. Volunteers received training in Conductive Education, Safeguarding, First Aid, and a comprehensive induction. Volunteers are crucial to our service delivery and financial sustainability, enabling high-quality group sessions and fundraising. We offer valuable work experience to volunteers from diverse backgrounds and continue to build relationships with local universities, colleges, businesses, and communities.
''Volunteering at Whoopsadaisy is a lot of fun and very rewarding. On top of that you see these beautiful children grow and flourish. It teaches the volunteers as much as the children themselves. I enjoy every time I am there and would recommend anyone even slightly interested to reach out.'' - Moira
"Volunteering at Whoopsadaisy has not only been an insightful and meaningful experience but getting to learn from working alongside the staff and children has taught me so much: from listening to the children talk about things they are passionate about during group discussions, to seeing them persevere and stay determined (during Conductive Education) has definitely inspired me! During my time here so far, I have genuinely felt so welcomed by the team who are always warm, friendly and supportive!" - Hua
Staffing
We regularly review our staffing structure to ensure professional and sustainable service delivery. As demand for our services increases, so does the need for more staff. Our long-term goal is to have three Lead Conductors (one for each programme) and two Assistant Conductors supported by a team of volunteers. In 2023, we recruited our first Assistant Conductor. The recruitment for more staff will start early 2024.
Improvements at the Whoopsadaisy Pavilion
We continue to improve, repair, and maintain our building to ensure it remains safe and welcoming. This year, we secured funding to create a sensory room. We are working on securing further donations in kind or cash to complete the outstanding remedial work and repair the back wall. Our goal is to finish all building repairs by summer 2024.
We are grateful to all our supporters who donate their time, money, and expertise to help transform Whoopsadaisy's home.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
This year has been successful for Whoopsadaisy. The total incoming resources for the year ended 31 December 2023 were £186,366 (2022: £144,795). Resources expended for the year totalled £179,823 (2023: £176,206 leaving surplus funds to be carried forward of £6,543 (2022 deficit of: -£31,411).
The Charity held fund balances at the year end of £166,816, £155,704 of these funds held were unrestricted and the restricted funds balance totalled £11,112. This was possible through intensified efforts in fundraising from Trusts and Foundations, as well as Corporate and Community Fundraising.
Our most successful event was the Art Auction, which raised over £13,000 in sales and an additional £6,500 in donations. We also secured funding from new Trusts and Foundations, with some providing unrestricted funding-a crucial income source for us.
Despite our success in 2023, we recognise that fundraising challenges will persist due to the current economic situation and increased competition for funding. We will continue to innovate in our fundraising activities, encouraging parents, local businesses, and community supporters to help. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our corporate and community supporters, including the artists who donated their work for the auction. Their support has not only helped us raise essential funds but also increased awareness of our work and enabled us to reach new audiences.
Approximately 50% of our funding comes from charitable trusts and grant-makers. We work hard to secure new funding streams while maintaining strong relationships with our regular funders. We extend our gratitude to all the charitable trusts and grant-makers who supported Whoopsadaisy in 2023. These include long-term funders such as Sussex Community Foundation, Brighton District Nursing Association Trust, Wellesley Charitable Foundation, Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, John Horniman's Children's Trust, Woodroffe Benton Foundation, Cheyne Charity for Children with Cerebral Palsy, Souter Charitable Trust, Tula Trust and the Webb Family Charitable Trust.
Other generous grant supporters in 2023 included The Community Trust of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sandra Charitable Trust, Masonic Charitable Foundation, Anton Jurgens Charitable Trust, Friarsgate Trust, Iron Bridge Trust, B & Q Foundation and Garfield Weston Foundation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Strategy
Sustaining Our Mission
Securing funding to sustain our work is a continual challenge. Meanwhile, the demand for services for children with disabilities is growing exponentially. Many families are seeking support, and the need far exceeds the available resources. To meet this increasing demand, we aim to expand our services, extend our building, and develop our workforce.
Investment and reserves policy
The trustees regularly monitor and review the level of reserves including an annual review of the Charity's reserves policy being undertaken. Our total reserves stood at £166,816 at the end of the year. This included £11,112 restricted income.
The trustees have agreed a reserves policy of between nine- and twelve-months running costs. This takes into consideration the increase of inflation rate on most expenses including electricity and the need for the organisation to recruit staff to increase our capacity in response to the growing demand for our services.
The reserves policy is informed by the Charity's commitment to protecting the continuity of its service provision to the children and the employment of its staff as well as considering the organisation's exposure to the present unpredictable level of donations and grants.
FUTURE PLANS
Growth Initiatives and 2024 Goals
In 2023, we undertook significant growth initiatives and in 2024 our focus will be on consolidating these initiatives to build resilience and sustainability, ensuring we continue delivering high-quality services. Our objectives are:

-
Parenting Support: Helping parents build supportive networks during sessions, holiday clubs, events, and training at

Achieve our fundraising target of £220,000
Our fundraising strategy continues to focus on organisational sustainability and building a strong financial base through, - Securing a combination of restricted and unrestricted funding, and to apply for multi-year grants where possible.

The directors of the Company are also the Charity's trustees for the purpose of charity law. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees have control for the Charity and its property and funds. One third of the Trustees must retire at each AGM, the longest in office retiring first and the choice between any of equal service being made by drawing lots. The Charity actively seeks to elect Board members to ensure a diverse and representative skill set reflecting the charity's aims and objectives.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

WHOOPSADAISY BRIGHTON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis after consideration by the trustees that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Such consideration includes a review of committed income and expenditures, cash flows and reserves. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of Whoopsadaisy Brighton. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Government Grants
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital grants' or 'revenue grants', are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 50% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
The charity changed their method of depreciating its fixed assets from a four year straight-line basis to three years on a straight-line basis as this revised method better reflects the charity's use of their fixed assets over their useful lives and is consistent with the charity's replacement cycle.
The change in depreciation method is accounted for in the current year and in any subsequent periods,
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
