Aims and Organisation

The principal objects of the Charity are:

The relief of sickness by the provision of information, advice and treatments to those affected by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (and any co-morbidities), their families and carers, particularly in the London Boroughs of Havering, Barking and Dagenham; and surrounding areas.
The advancement of public education regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (and any co-morbidities).

As we enter our 25[th] year of Addup we are finally beginning to feel we are returning to some sort of normality after Covid and our children returning to the fold with the confidence it is not going to be taken away again. We have seen an increase in new members who are joining to participate in our “Monster Inside” parent/child training programme. We are extremely proud of this programme that we created and developed into a successful programme that works for families living with ADHD and challenging children. After completing the course families are realising that we offer so much more and are getting more involved in the activities Addup offers, thus continuing to receive support to maintain the programme.

It has been a difficult year for the staff, the Project Co-ordinator, Becky, left Addup to pursue a career in the ambulance service and, even though she did a six-month hand over, the loss of this member of the team had a huge impact on the staff. What we now realise is that many of our staff were Becky’s “children” who had started at a young age and had grown with her eventually becoming members of staff so, her leaving after sixteen years impacted more than we realised it would. Covid also played a part, the staff had a lot to adapt to when they returned, no Becky and children with even more challenging needs as Covid had impacted on them. It has taken a year to get things in order, but we finally feel we are getting there.

With a new post of Lead Keyworker, Emily has revisited all our projects and as Becky said to Emily, “make them your own” Emily has done this, although the ethos remains the same for the consistency the children need.

Financially Addup has been fortunate to be successful with bids for Covid related support which was a lifeline at a difficult time. Funders that were funding us at the beginning of Covid have been very supportive and helpful, we have had regular contact with them, and they have helped us to maintain our services during lockdown and beyond, we are so grateful for all their support.

We continue to work with the CCG and receive funding for our “Monster Inside” programme. We continue to apply for funding for The Lead Keyworker post and other projects, but we know funding will be harder to access and fundraising and donations may start to fall with the cost of living impacting on people. Also, we need to be aware of our families and ensure they do fall off the radar due to increased costs to them and accessing Addup services.

We start the year with enthusiasm and hope for a stable future for Addup. The CEO is now working towards retirement and is working on a long-term strategy to ensure Addup continues with the same ethos and provides the good services it has for the last 25 years.

Attention Deficit Disorders Uniting Parents (Addup) Independent Examiners Report

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner:

The charities trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to :

Examine the Accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act)
Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and to state whether paticular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiners Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the Accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Accounts, and seeking explanations from you as the management committee and the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the Accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiners Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.

1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep:
Accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act;
and to prepare:
Accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements for the 2011 Act have not been met.

2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
