Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Inclusive Leisure, Education, Activities Project (ILEAP) became a private limited company on 28th March 2001 and a registered Charity on 27th November 2001. This was a major development for the Project as it developed, from under the wing of Voluntary Action Stratford-on-Avon Association (VASA), to an independent and user-led organisation.
Being managed by a cross-section of the ILEAP community and having its own accounts allowed the Charity to access a variety of funding opportunities, that otherwise were inaccessible due to being incorporated into the VASA accounts. This in turn led to an increase of services and opportunities for an increasing membership.
ILEAP aspires to the following mission statement.
"We believe all people have the right to leisure, education and self-development opportunities. Currently, many disabled people are denied this by attitudes in society and by environmental and organisational barriers. We aim to create and sustain equal access and inclusion for disabled people to community provision and facilities. We strive to raise awareness within communities in order to promote good inclusive working practices and facilitate social change."
Through its work the Charity has continuously improved its delivery by involving participants and their families, leisure providers, sessional staff and volunteers in the planning and development of services. This involvement enabled the ILEAP Charity to become the first organisation in Warwickshire to achieve the Warwickshire Award for Involvement and has led the Charity to focus on the following services that ILEAP members and their families have specifically requested:
-
To provide opportunities for fun and friendship during people's leisure time for people aged 4 years and over who are disabled, vulnerable or have additional needs.
-
To provide stimulating, challenging and rewarding, community based, activities for vulnerable individuals, so that their families can have a short break, in the knowledge that their loved one is safe whilst taking part in an activity of their choice.
-
To focus on people who may fall through the net of Statutory Funding, typically those with a mild / moderate learning disability/additional need.
-
To involve participants and their families in the development and future direction of the Charity.
-
To work in partnership with other providers to ensure best use of resources.
-
To continuously improve services through user involvement and customer feedback.
-
To work imaginatively so that vulnerable people can safely access community leisure provision alongside their non-disabled peers.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
In the wake of the loss of direct Statutory funding from April 2013 (see 2013 accounts) the Charity endeavours to sustain its services and promote new services that will hopefully generate income, thus making the organisation more sustainable.
The Charity has worked hard in developing new services that will not only add value to the programme but will provide future income streams. The combination of reduced reserves and a more social enterprise approach will enable Funders from individual Charitable Trusts to look favourably on future funding applications.
The Charity has managed to increase opportunities for a growing membership of people with Additional Needs, offering community based, term time, school holiday, individual and group support.
Feedback for the year has once again been extremely positive and can be viewed at our website www.ileap.co.uk .
We have increased our use of social media and our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts have proved to be an excellent way of showcasing our work to the wider community and engaging with our Members and their Families. Similarly, our presence at local Markets through our Market Ability social enterprise has enabled us to engage more directly with the wider local community.
With increased competition from a growing marketplace of providers, ILEAP have endeavoured to work as efficiently and creatively as possible, whilst maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
In order to stand out from the crowd the Charity has listened carefully to its customers and their families and has formed new partnerships with community leisure providers, opening accessible routes for disabled people to take part in activities alongside their disabled and non-disabled peers. The Charity has a user group that ensures planned activities are user led and thus well received. The Charity is also mindful when planning activities to ensure they work equally well for parents, carers and loved ones offering them a short break in the knowledge that their loved one is safe and having fun alongside friends old and new.
This creative and imaginative approach ensures our Members can access a full and varied programme of community based leisure activities, ensuring their holistic health and wellbeing. Our focus on fun, friendship and safety, ensures that our user led activities are well received by participants and their families.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
We used the positive energy earned from 2023 achievements and spring boarded into 2024 with enthusiasm and positivity. The national lottery grant has provided some breathing space from the anxiety that funding stringencies create and allowed us to focus on succession planning and improving our infrastructure, allowing us to sustain current projects and improve the safety for our stakeholders.
We have recruited three new Trustees all with a thorough understanding of our aims and objectives and our wider work. This will strengthen the board and provide the CEO with additional support.
Our membership hit our lottery target of 200 in August 2024 and our regular sessions are well attended and well received. We actively tried to increase opportunities for our younger potential members, and girls and ladies and our Project Co-ordinator has done a brilliant job offering new initiatives such as horse-riding, messy play, junior football, family fun swim, children’s play schemes etc. This approach helped us to attract new members from our younger age groups, which was important to us as our membership has moved from children to teens to adults over the years. We found that a stay and play model was better received by Parents and Carers and so our sessions for under 12’s now uses this approach and is working well. Having focused on our younger members we have a better understanding of the challenges they and their families face. These challenges of lack of diagnosis, lack of statutory support, lack of networks, financial stringencies and social isolation, anxiety and lack of confidence and low self-esteem all impact on the holistic health and wellbeing of our younger cohort.
Following the 30k of the free and subsidised activities we delivered 2024, we plan to continue to offer free and heavily subsidized sessions in 2025 to try and help families while they wait for emotional and financial support from a stretched social care system and the cost of living crisis.
Our teen and adult membership remains robust and we are pleased to now have 50/50 split of male and female members having worked hard to increase our female membership.
We endeavour to ensure continuity for our members and have a low staff turnover. We continue to pay above the real living wage and are finding ways to provide staff with additional benefits, in the future. Our staff team enjoy flexible working and are encouraged to input into their draft work schedules to ensure they provide a good work / life balance.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Feedback from our members remains a great way to understand the positive impact our work has on our members and their families. Some of are more recent anecdotal evidence, speaks volumes:
“ILEAP has made me much more independent.”
“I always feel safe leaving my daughter with you.”
“My brother has loved ILEAP from the very start. We thank all staff for the difference you make to his week.”
“I’m able to take part in normal activities.”
“Lovely activities with his peers. You know they are all well looked after as well.”
“ILEAP is the best thing that has happened for our family.”
“I’ve made more friends.”
“We would be absolutely lost without ILEAP. ILEAP gives us the support we need in the school holidays to provide fun and varied activities for our young people and this also helps the carers to do important jobs which are difficult to do when their person with a disability is present.”
“ILEAP activities make the world of difference to my son’s weekly routine and life. It has given him a friendship group for the first time and this is wonderful to see.”
“When making difficult decisions when education is finished, ILEAP provides options for giving well rounded selection of activities to choose from, giving our young people to be occupied, the ILEAP Staff are key to this enjoyment.”
Over the next 12 months we plan to roll out a tried and tested programme of more affordable communitybased leisure provision, trialling new, user led services, and continuously improving these services, based on stakeholder feedback.
We are proud of our achievements to date. We would like to thank our stakeholders for all their help and support over the past 12 months as we look forward to the fresh challenges that lie ahead.

Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Resources expended are included in the Statement of financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in those cost categories. where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
