a) people who have special needs

The focal point for this work is the charity’s headquarters at Peppermint Heights, which now operates throughout the year. The charity delivers one- to-one mentoring, education, care, and developmental activities and supervision for clients who have a wide variety of special needs. These needs include complex medical conditions, behavioural challenges, and various levels of autistic spectrum disorders ranging from little or no communication through to the higher achieving levels of asperger’s syndrome.

The charity operates throughout the year, and is available for full or part-time sessions which provide a wide-range of creative and constructive activities and opportunities for clients.

Some clients have been excluded from school, or have yet to be allocated a place at school or college, and attend the Centre during term-time.

Some clients have completed all their educational opportunities, and are unable to find any employment. They therefore need somewhere that they can attend during the day that provides them with meaningful activities to help them develop their skills and abilities.

This is a purpose-built centre comprising of a large hall, art and craft room, library and TV room, large kitchen, sensory room, fully-equipped changing room with adjustable bed, shower and hoist, and a small but very secure outside garden area. Situated alongside the Grand Union Canal the charity also owns and operates a 68 foot narrow boat which takes clients ,parents and carer’s on waterway trips throughout the year

c) Other areas of work

Staff employed by the charity have specialist knowledge, training and experience in dealing with a range of complex medical, social, emotional and educational needs, including tube feeding, changing, administering medicines, and responding to challenging behavior.

The charity provides basic training for workers in first aid, health and safety, safeguarding young people, and other related subjects, ensuring that they are fully aware of current legislative requirements when working with clients.

6. Structure, Governance and Management

Eligibility for membership of the charity, and membership of the board of trustees is governed by the memorandum and articles of association. There are no restrictions in the governing document on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers , other than those imposed by general charity law.

Trustees' of the charity meet on a regular basis and agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the charity, including consideration of investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. There are also honorary officers who have delegated power for the day to day operation of the charity.

Staff of the charity have delegated authority to carry out day to day work within policies agreed by the board.

There are currently four full-time members of staff, and the charity works in partnership with the local authority on many projects .

Membership of a wider network

It also has regular contact with other organisations with similar aims and objectives. The charity has received support from numerous sources including the John Lyon's Charity, the Henry Smith Trust, BBC Children in Need, and Edward Harvist fund. Fundraising enables the BPA to increase the numbers of clients they are able to work with, the variety of activities, which they are able to provide, and the cost of those activities and services for parents and carer’s.

The major risks to which the charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate risks

The trustees identify the major risks to which the charity is exposed each financial year when preparing and updating a strategic plan, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity.

The charity is satisfied that the systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to the major risks which have been so identified and reviewed.

New workers are subjected to full disclosure checks with Criminal Records Bureau, must provide full details of previous employment, training and qualifications, 2 references, and if these criteria are met must participate in a full interview process.

Page 7

BRENT PLAY ASSOCIATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2023

The charity’s policy is to ensure that all its activities are undertaken by qualified and experienced staff, and always use the appropriate staff to client ratio.

The on-going backdrop of austerity measures has caused the organisation to pay careful attention to all financial matters, to ensure best value for money, and to maximize its efforts to raise funds, whilst maintaining high standards, and supporting the staff team by paying the London living wage to all members.

Relationships with other groups, charities and individuals

BPA has received support from the John Lyon's Charity for many years which has enabled them to increase the number of clients that they are able to work with, and the variety of activities which they are able to provide.

7. Financial Review

The financial results for the period are set out on pages 11 to 12.

Investment and Management Powers

These are vested in the Trustees' and are governed by the memorandum and articles of association of the charity.

Reserves

The Trustees have examined the charitable company's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 6 and 12 months of the expenditure.

Budgeted expenditure for 2023/24 is £ 135,000 and therefore the target is £135,000 to £200,000 in general and restricted funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The remaining reserves are held to meet any or all redundancy payments as required by employment law.

1. Accounting Policies

a) Accounting Bases

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the 2005 Revision of the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005. The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.

b) Accounting convention anf going concern

The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and fixed asset investments.

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements and have reviewed cash flow forecasts and budgets in performing this review.

The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amount, to provide for any further liabilities that may arise and to reclassify fixed assets as current assets and long term liabilities as current liabilities.

The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also
