Report of the Chair

Every year when I sit down to write this there is yet another major issue affecting us all. First it was Covid, then Ukraine, then the Middle East and now we have a general election! We are getting so many claims and counterclaims plus pleas about plans and non- plans. Unfortunately what we are not getting from the major parties is a clear strategy for the caring sector. The problems are very well known but where are the solutions? A recently retired chief executive from one of the main national funders has summarised the context well:

“The question of what society we want to live in should be front and centre of our political debate both this year and in the coming decades, as we enter an era of low growth with an ageing population and a declining tax base.”

At a more local level a much respected charity leader has also commented well on a matter that affects many of us:

“How about local commissioners actually putting a value on long-standing commitment to a local community and on the ability to draw in community goodwill and volunteers, rather than commissioning purely on price? (you speak the language of "best value" and "quality", but ultimately you're going to go with the cheapest bottom line - you know that and so do we).”

Through all of this CEDA ploughs on. The past year has been difficult as costs continue to rise with support levels not keeping up with similar increases. Nevertheless the atmosphere around the services has remained positive - a tribute to all involved.

In recent months we have also had to start preparing for the imminent retirement of one of our highly regarded joint chief executives! Renata has been with CEDA for some 27 years and has overseen so many positive vs changes for the charity. We all wish her a happy and prosperous future. It has also been so reassuring in recent weeks to see how managers and others have been developing their skills. This will be so important as we take CEDA forward.

Trevor Smale Chair of the Board of Directors

The Activity Hub has delivered sessions to around 60 people this year, offering around 30 different sessions each week. Sessions are chosen after consultation with the people we support each term and have included new subjects such as Storytelling with Puppetry and Song, to Pottery and Mosaic Arts, Drumming for Musicals, and Equality and Diversity sessions. These have sat alongside the firm favourites loved by the people we support such as Sensory, Cooking, Life Skills and Sports.

Demand for this service remains high, especially for individuals with very complex needs. The Activity Hub has seen significant growth this year, and has been able to offer places for 10 new starters, with 6 more waiting to start.

Chloe’s Transition

Chloe had been happily attending CEDA’s youth services for many years. She has grown up with strong attachments and experiences extreme anxiety in the face of change and transition.

As an adult, several attempts to transition Chloe into new living arrangements and other services were unsuccessful and Chloe was struggling to step forward into her adult life. Collaborative work between CEDA’s Youth Service and Activity Hub resulted in a transition where Chloe’s trusted people were able to be with her and support her to slowly form new bonds and connections on her own terms.

Chloe is now settled and thriving in the Activity Hub, making friends, having fun a and learning. Being valued and supported in ways that work for her has shown Chloe that change can be a positive experience. Chloe's wellbeing is ke much improved and her mum reports that on CEDA days she is more S enthusiastic to get up and out of the “at house than she has seen for many years. cadgy ea PeeeaRaeag ew Ee es Pao ya SomaeyPat weeee caeeekee[et] CR el 6 ie[oe]

The Community Services are currently delivering 315.25 hours of 1 to 1 support per week. Activities are chosen by the person to work towards agreed outcomes such as maintaining or increasing mobility, practicing work or life skills and making connections with peers and in the community.

This year there has been a focus on developing volunteering opportunities for the people we support at settings, such as at Powderham Castle, where we support someone to volunteer at the farm there.

Sophie’s Menu

Sophie loves to go out to eat, but has struggled to make clear choices about what she wants due to the communication differences she experiences.

Sophie was already using pictures to make other choices, such as activities, and has gained more confidence and skill with this over the year. A member of Sophie’s team created a new PECs menu to help her to make clear choices about what to eat and drink. Using a format that Sophie is already familiar with has worked well and she has already been putting this to good use. Sophie is now able to understand the whole range of options available at a cafe or restaurant and make her choice using her new tool.

Although this is a 1-1 service, connection is very important for many of the people we support, so to address this there have also been group days, giving our people the opportunity to meet up with friends and share experiences. These included a Mars day, with a trip to Exeter cathedral to see the Mars exhibition, and a trip to Plymouth Theatre Royal to take part in an interactive and inclusive theatre production.

The CEDA youth service supports disabled and disadvantaged young people aged between 5 and 24 in Exeter and surrounding areas. We run Saturday, holiday and after school clubs with a focus on providing safe, fun, and interactive experiences. Clubs are held at CEDA’s main centre and out in the community, with trips including Puxton Park, Trethorne Leisure Farm, Paignton Zoo, iBounce and Plymouth Aquarium.

The Youth Service supports many young people with more complex needs requiring a higher level of support (more than 1-1). This year a mentoring programme, which has upskilled staff members to work effectively with their most complex young people, has resulted in a 50% increase in the number of these Young People receiving services.

Sam’s Story

Sam is a 13 year old boy with autism. When he started he was very isolated and would take himself off on his own away from others. As CEDA became a safe and comfortable environment for him, Sam became confident enough to make his own tentative connections with other young people. Sam has since developed friendships with other users at CEDA and we have seen Sam have lovely interactions helping those younger than himself as well as those his own age. Sam’s parents gave the following feedback,

“Without CEDA Sam would have no access to a peer group outside school. This is especially important during the school holidays.”

Os ee SeeSe ae CALMER LIVES a BISNET /

Our two therapeutic mentors have worked with 159 families across the year, providing 1168 sessions of support to families experiencing difficulties. These families usually receive 6 funded sessions and work toward tailored outcomes depending on their situation.

This year, in order to more accurately reflect the type of service being provided as well as to increase referrals, BISnet conducted market research leading up to a name change and re - brand to be launched in the new reporting period.

Reflection Tool

A reflection tool was introduced to help individuals to identify and monitor clear outcomes and measure any progress. Families graded a selection of statements from 1-10 (with 10 being highest) before and after receiving at least 6 sessions from BISnet/Calmer Lives. Here are a selection of the results;

A Parent’s Story

“Having been failed by the support services offered by our local authority, my daughter started sessions with BIS-net to help her to work through the troubles she was having with a variety of issues including school anxiety and family relationships/dynamics. After attending a series of weekly sessions, she has now arrived at a much happier place in life and feels better equipped to handle the challenges that her rapidly approaching adult life will bring. BIS-net guided me sensitively through the relationship issues I was experiencing with my neuro-diverse children. After each session, I was directed towards relevant supporting resources and materials that I could utilise in my spare time to quickly give me the tools to improve.

I'm now taking a completely different approach towards communication with my whole family and can honestly say that my relationship with them as a whole has never been better. I honestly don't know what we'd have done without the help of BIS-net”.

Supported by the National Lottery Community Fund, Access All Aerials (AAA) broadcasts radio programmes made by disabled people seven days a week, 24 hours a day. With a regular reach of over 2,600 weekly listeners, audience interactions continue to grow as the project becomes more well known. As well as giving the opportunity to broadcast on the radio, Access All Aerials is also running the ‘Radio PathwAAAys’ learning programme. Over this year we have supported 18 learners to develop skills in a number of areas including communication, understanding the law, interview skills and audio production.

Charity Challenge Week

In November, a week organised by AAA presenter Rowan Ford, saw him challenge Access All Aerials presenters, supporters and listeners to get involved with a host of different challenges. This culminated in a 12 hour spin-a-thon broadcasting live and raising over £1,000 for CEDA and BBC Children in Need.

Everyday people got involved with baking challenges, leg waxing and sponsored walks. Our supporters stepped out of their comfort zones and accepted smaller personal challenges as part of the fun initiative. We will be repeating the challenge week in 2024.

Made possible for CEDA members, thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, this project was about identifying and highlighting the range of heritage sites which are accessible and disability friendly, to disabled people who live, work or visit the southwest.

24 different CEDA members were involved in visiting, assessing and recording their feelings about a number of different landmarks and attractions around the county. We focused on the moorland, coastline and cities such as Exeter. The project concluded during this reporting period and we hope to create an extension of the project in the future.

----- End of picture text -----

Mostly supported this year by legacy funding from the Mike Ellis Trust, CEDA Create have offered a number of creative opportunities to our disabled artist network and support circles.

CEDA have over 40 professional artists currently active in producing, curating and exhibiting work across the south west.

In this reporting period, CEDA Create hosted a month - long residency with the Princesshay Shopping Centre where we celebrated 15 years of the CEDA Create brand. The residency was complimented by a pop up radio studio, where Access All Aerials broadcast the majority of its programming across the month, engaging strongly with members of the public, thanks to the glass front studio.

We also partnered with local artist Mark Ware as part of his Arts Council England funded project ‘Nature Effects’ where we brought together the work of six professional artists and exhibited within the magnificent Exeter Cathedral. This exhibition was recognised with a private audience event featuring the Lord Mayor of Exeter, councillors and MPs.

DEVELOPING ME
----- End of picture text -----

The Developing Me project has been funded by the Henry Smith Charity for the last 6 years and has allowed us to work with individuals to work towards individual goals such as finding new homes and care providers, finding and accessing community groups, building confidence and making new friends, learning how to use public transport and having the confidence to deal with whatever might arise.

The emphasis on the work delivered has been to support people to identify what they need, to make plans and to be in control of their own life, having a voice when it comes to making decisions and changes in their lives. This ensures they are not ‘done to’ by others but are active participants in their own life.

This year has seen our final year of funding for the current project, although we are currently seeking other funding to continue this work in the future.

Over the past year we have built strong links with the local McDonalds Franchisee through their community connections programme. We have been invited throughout the year to VIP days at their restaurants with our young people, where our young people have had the opportunity to make their own McFlurries, show off their cup stacking ability, build their own burger and even get a sneak peek behind the scenes of a McDonalds kitchen.

We are so grateful to all the wonderful staff at McDonalds who have managed to make these events so magical for our young people. This support from Orchestra Restaurants (the local franchise group of McDonalds) have filled a significant funding gap within our Youth Services and we are very appreciative of the staff teams who continue to donate through their payroll lottery.

• 43 people are working on outcomes to Improve their Connection with others

Impact reporting;

We have recently changed the way we record and measure impact - next year we will have a much larger set of data to help us see what impact our work has had on the people who use our service. This year, we have a range of “Impact Stories”, such as Alexander’s below. All of these (100%) report impact in at least one of the 5 areas above, the highest being “Improved Connection” (82%) and “Improved Wellbeing” (70.6%)

Watch this space for more info in the next report!

Impact Story - Alexander

Alexander recently joined CEDA with a mixture of sessions in the Hub, Radio and also having some 1:1 support out in the community. This mixture seems to work for Alexander, giving him chance to connect with other people in groups and also have focused time to work on a range of skills and outcomes.

It is noticeable that having 1:1 support out in the community particularly benefits Alexander - he's been going on public transport, scanning his bus pass, saying hello to the public & making connections. He enjoys swimming, shopping and cooking, all of which help to develop his life skills, support his wellbeing, as well as becoming more independent. In addition, some of Alexander’s 1:1 support has been used to attend his farm sessions for work experience. There has been so much engagement and enjoyment in doing the activities (brushing the ponies, feeding the goats, painting the fence, weeding, etc), the impact of having 1:1 support really has made a difference for Alexander and his skills and independence are flourishing.

TRUSFEE'S REPORT Community Equality Disability Action Trustees. Report Financial review Following a period of high inflatlon, coupled with below inflation uplifts from local authority contracts, CEDA was facing an unrestricted budgetary deficit of £69K for the year. Securing funds from trust and foundations has been difficult and several long term supporters of CEDA have not been able to continue that support, because of their own financial pressures. The team have all pulled together to address the deficit, reducing expenditure at every possible opportunity. ending the year with an unrestricted deficit of £20,716. Fortunately, CEDA has succ8ssfully built up financial reserves and we continue to be optimistic about our future. We are forecasting another deficit in the coming year and are seeking to expand our fundraising activities to include corporate. philanthropic and legacy donations, all of which will take some time to impact on income. Pollcy on reserves The Board of Trustees has established this reserves policy in order to 8nsure that: (1) There are adequate funds available to meet the contractual needs of the organisation. (2) There are adequate funds available to meet any obligations incurred through a grant or commissioning agreement. (3) The organisation has sufficient working caprtal to enable it to efficiently deliver contracts for our clients and potential clients and to undertake initiatives and developments in line with our objectives. (4) There are adequate funds available to meet all contingent liabilities. including legal obligations. should the charity be wound up (e.g. redundancy). In normal times. taking into account the risk. sustainability. and the variability of CEDA'S income, the Board of Trustees has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months, operating costs. Of this, the board aims to hold 2 months of free reserves (unrestricted funds. not designated or invested in tangible fixed assets). The charity currently has 4.3 months expenditure held in unrestricted reserves therefore hitting the target set. At this level, and in normal circumstances, the trustees believe that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in income. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. In light of the heightened risk of a significant fall in income coupled with the increased cost of service provision due to the current economic climate, the Board will review the reserves position regularly. Decisions as to how unrestricted reserves are drawn down will be taken by the Board.

TRUSFEE'S REPORT Community Equality Disability Action Trustees. Report At 31 March 2024 there were unrestricted reserves of £548,093 (2023: £568.809), of which £8,860 (2023.. £6.758) is held in tangible fixed assets. This leaves £539,233 (2023: £562,051) of funds which are readily available. The Trustees are aware of various financial pressures on the charity's income over the coming period and in addition to the designated fixed asset fund, have designated £332,000 (2023.. £322,000). of which £100,000 is for redundancy and Severan￿ reserves, £70,000 is for an emergency transport fund, to replace, repair or hire a vehicle so that services remain unaffected; £42,000 is required to update the website and IT systems across the charity. £50,000 to cover the inflationary pressures and instability of funding and £70,000 to support environmental and conseNation challenges, for example the installation of solar panels. This leaves £207,233 (2023: £240,050) of 'free' reserves. which is 1.6 months of running costs which is just under our policy tsrget but takes into consideration and provides for any further impacts from the current economic and inflationary pressures. Board Effectiveness The Board meet quarterly as well as holdlng additional meetings to review budgets and agree strategic development for the charity, as required. Commitment from the Trustee Board continues to be excellent with meetings well attended and contributions from all. The Board are looking to recruit further members in the coming year and are particularly interested in seeking representation from the Disabled community and those with an interest in the environment.

TRUSFEE'S REPORT Community Equality Disability Action Trustees. Report Investment policy and objectiv•s The Trustees may, in accordance with the Memorandum of Association: "Deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification)." During this period CEDA held its working capital in a combination of bank current accounts and deposit accounts. In addition CEDA holds £104,794 (2023.. £100,474) of its reserves in an investment account with Charifund. Plans for future periods Alms and key objectlves for future perlods The charity's priority continues to be the delivery of quality services and, in order to achieve this, we will be seeking additional funding to create new projects to develop the skills and experiences for those that we support. Projects in development include accessing outdoor spaces to support individual well-being; parental and carer support for those who are struggling to successfully support individuals with anxiety which stems from their disability. creative opportunities and continued support for the Radio Station, Access All Aerials. Our Bls-net service, which launched in 2012, has changed and adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of the families that we support. This year we will be rebranding the service and embarking on a marketing campaign to drive up awareness of the service and the positive impact it has for families. The installation of solar energy panels will be a priority for this financlal period., which will further our aim of reducing our carbon footprint, as well as reducing costs for the charity, in the long run. Going concern The Board is confident that, with the current level of reserves. CEDA will continue to maintain a strong financial position. The budget forecast for the coming year shows a deficit, due to the inflationary pressures, along with an upward pressure on staff salaries. However, because the charity has been well managed and reserves have been added to year on year, there are sufficient funds in reserve to fflanage this situation without causing financial difficulties for the charity. Plans continue to be reviewed to address the situation to ensure costs are minimised. contracts are renegotiated. and additional income is sourced. Trustees therefore have no material concerns over the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Structure, govemance and management Principal Risks and Uncertainties A risk register is in pla￿ which identifies all known and potential risks facing the charity. This is reviewed by the board annually as a matter of cxjurse and more frequently as new risks are identified. The main current risks to the charity are.. Financial uncertainty caused by inflationary pressures coupled with local authority cutbacks and failure to raise contract prices in line with inflation. Local authority's financial difficullies leading to cuts in sep4ices leading to reduced income. The potential for the local authority declaring bankruptcy. resulting in funding loss for all non essential services. Cyber attack, loss of data. Decrease in support from trusts and foundations due to increased demand form other charities.

TRUSFEE'S REPORT Community Equality Disability Action Trustees, Report Statement of trustees, responsibilities The trustees (who are also the directors of Community Equality Disability Action for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees, report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to.. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards. comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements., and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Disclosure of information to auditor Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENTAUDrrowsREPORT Community Equality Disability Action Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Community Equality Disability Action Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Community Equality Disability Action (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024. which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities. Balance Sheet. ststement of Cash Flows. and Notes to the Financial Statements. induding a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. and have been prepared in accordance wth the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK. including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other Information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other infomiation comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

INDEPENDENTAUDrrowsREPORT Community Equality Disability Action Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Community Equality Disability Action In connection with our audit of the finan￿al statements. our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to dete￿nIne whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other infonnation. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Trustees, Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtsined in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, Report, We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept, or retums adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums; or certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, responsibilities (set out on page 11), the trustees are responsible for the preparatlon of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatefflent, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going con￿rn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees erther intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENDENTAUDrrowsREPORT Community Equality Disability Action Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Community Equality Disability Action The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below: We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discussion with the trustees and other management and inspection of the charity's correspondence. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team. and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The charity is subject to laws and regulations that govem the preparation of the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation, and other charity legislation. The charity is also subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material impact on the amounts or disclosures within the financial statements, including employment, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and certain aspects of charities legislation. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. In any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omissions. misrepresentations. or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the pU￿oSe of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate. to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements. including the disclosures. and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transaclions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTESTO THE FINANCIALsfATEMEMrs Community Equality Disability Action Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 1 Charity status The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, and consequently does not have share capit21. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The address of its registered office is: The Clare Milne Centre Emperor Way Exeter EX13QS 2 Accounting policies Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented. unless otherwise stated. Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Ststemeni of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing Iheir accounts in accordance with the Financial Repx)rting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019> - (Charities SORP (FRS 102}), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Basis of preparation Community Equality Disability Action meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Going concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. Income and endowments All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

NOTESTO THE FINANCIALsfATEMEMrs Community Equality Disability Action Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Donations and legacies Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Investment income Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Expenditure All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or Constructive obligation to that expenditure. it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Charitable activities Charitable expenditure comprlses those costs Incurred by the charity in the delivery of Its actlvities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Taxation The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finan￿ Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly. the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Tangible fixed assets Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows.. Asset class Property improvements Equipment Fixtures and fittings Molor vehicles Depreciation method and rate 4 years straight line 3 years straight line 150/0 reducing balance 250/0 reducing balance

NOTESTO THE FINANCIALsfATEMEMrs Community Equality Disability Action Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at rna￿et value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Ststement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an Insignificant risk of change in value. Borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds. net of transaction costs. and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is reGognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Fund structure Unrestricted income funds a￿ general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objedives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. Financial instruments Classlficatlon Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that eVIden￿S a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

NOTESTO THE FINANCIALsfATEMEMrs Community Equality Disability Action Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Recognition and measurement All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs}, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Flnancial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity. despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another paty. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Debt Instruments Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method: (a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; {ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate: or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate. (b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. (c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate,. (21 to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3> changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law., or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a). (d) There is no contractual provision that could. by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. (e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the iSSLJer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. (f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument. provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c).

NOTESTO THE FINANCIALsfATEMEMrs Community Equality Disability Action Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment. With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment. Investments Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. 3 Income from donations and legacies Unrestricted funds General Restricted funds Total 2024 Total 2023 Donations 2,874 2,874 533 533 3,407 3,407 13,724 13,724 Income from donations and legacies of £3,407 (2023.. £13,724) includes £2,874 (2023: £13,724) unrestricted funds and £533 (2023: £-) restricted funds.
