DERBYSHIRE AUTISM SERVICES LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006. present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practi applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). Trustees Report 202&25 It saddens me very much that this is the final Chairfs Report for the Charity known as Derbyshire Autism Services (DAS). I have very mixed feelings about the situation whereby DAS has merged with another Registered Charity that provides essential seNices and support for autistic people, namely Autism East Midlands (AEM). On one hand, l am aggrieved by the circumstances that have led to the need for DAS to lose its, identity as an independent organisation. I consider these circumstances to have largely been detemiined by Derbyshire County Council (DCC) for Iwo reasons. Firstly, for many years the fees paid by DCC for the SeNiS it needs did not come close to matching the increased costs of service provision that had to be carried by DAS and others from within the voluntary sector. Secondly, this funding gap was subsidised by DAS from profits it made from being a well-regarded provider of autism training across Derbyshire. But DAS'S ability to subsidise was lost when DCC having decided upon re-organisatlon of autism servlce dellvery across the county gave sweeping power to their appolnted 'gatekeeper' of autisrn services. On the other hand, l am delighted that DAS has merged wlth AEM, allowing the provlslon of the services we had developed to continue. That this was achieved without staff redundancies or loss of provision for DAS'S service users is excellent. The practical and material help and support of the AEM Truslees. the Chief Executive and her wider Senior Management Team has been pivotal to the positive outcomes that have been achieved. Finally. I wish to thank everyone who has been involved in or wilh DAS over the years. Page 1
