The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Coinpanies Act, present their
annual report togethei. with the accounts of the charity foy the year ended 31 AugLlSt 2024.
The finanoial statements comply with the Charities Act 201 I, tlie Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum
and Articles of Association and the Statement of Re¢oinmeiided Practice (SORP) applicable to charities
preparing theii. accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102) (effective l January
2019).
Objects of the Charity, Principal Aetivities and Organisation of our Work
The charity Is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a Memorandum
and Articles of Association.
The purposes of the charlty and its principal activities are:
Providing and pi'omoting opportunities for people with disabilities (particularly but not exclusively
young people with disabilities) to develop their skills and capacities.
b)
Providing and promoting vocational training and employment opportunities for people with
disabilities, particularly but not exclusively young people with disabilities.
The trustees have taken the charity commission public benefit guidance into account when making any
decision to which it is relevant.
The Incredible Design Company (IDC) is inanaged on a day to day basis by a full time Centre Director -
with overall responsibility for the centre with emphasis oil the special needs aspect of the operation, assistcd
by a full tiine Deputy Centre Director able to ¢over the special needs aspect of the centre's running wlieii
required but with an emphasis upon the product desi￿, production and product developijkent aspects. Care
support for disabled staff is provided by a part time Care Assistant. Additional administration support is
provided by a part tiine Admin Assistant. Further support is provided by the trustees who, in addition to
executing their trustee responsibilities support the staff of the centre on a day to day requirement as well as
being involved in fund raising activities.
Developmen( Activities and Achievements this Year
Anotlier successful year for the charity with yet another increase in sales turnover from the previous year.
The teain achieved an amazing total of £144,586 in sales for the period with demand for our products
stronger than ever before. W¢ identlfied new, groundbreaking equipment that would streamline oui. printing
process and open up cliannels for supplying other printers on a trade basis. The new Direct-to-Film (DTF)
printer funded by The Mark Benevolent Fund has had a huge impact allowing our disabled team to output
their work with much less support, removing as it does the need for post printiiig tasks that they are unable
to perform.
The addition of a trade print service to our product line has been a success with three local printers using us
to supply them with their ti'ansfers in the year. One is ordering large quantities for their own use, helping to
boost our top line.

Development, Activities and Achievements this Year (Continued)
However, we are facing a huge challenge in the Goming months as we have just been informed that our lease
will not be renewed at Chailey, so we will need to seek new acoommodation for the charity by February
2025. Any unit that we can find is likely to require considerable modification for the use of our clientele and
uAust be in the locality for ease of access for both staff and customers,
Reserves
The receipt of the combined legacy and major donation from 2013-14 Continue to support us and provide
what the trustees consider to be adequate fimds from which to POSLtively pui'sue our development targets. In
summaryj these are to break even on our revenue account, to provide a service for 6 or rnore full time
equivalent places and release finances for both the sponsorship of places.
The trustees have chosen to earmark some of the Unrestricted Funds for particular usage, These are shown
as a Desi￿ated Fund with money set aside to support sponsoiship of places in the centre. The geneTal fund
of £IOOk represents free reserves to cover 6 months expenditure of tbe operation. The remaining funds are
invested into savings deposit accounts with the inteiest gained used to support annual shortfalls.
