Achievements and performance
805 new families registered with the charity this year.
There has been another massive increase in the number of families registering with our charity which means we
will have to pursue more funding as the demand grows for our activities and events.
We continue to heavily subsidise day trips and events for families and they are extremely popular, which is
mainly due lo the fact that many families cannot afford family outings without our support. Families benefit greatly
from all our short breaks and feedback is always extremely positive.
"These inclusive lrips out give our children quality of life, the chance for social interaction if they want it &
takes the stress of planning away from caregivers. We are so lucky to have OKE thinking of us & fighting our
corner" ParenUC8rer
"If it wasn't for the offers you provide, we would not be having any outings with the famiSy. Thank you so
much" Parenucarer
"These tickets enable us to go on trips we otherwise couldn't afford to do and are greatly appreciated. my kids
had an amazing day at the farm. Thank you" Parenucarer
'For lols of families these days out are not possible because of the cost. Especially for bigger families. I think
this is a great way to spend fundingl Giving these children and their families lifelong memories and eXperIen￿S1,
Parenucarer
This year families have been provided with opportunities to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Cockfield Fami,
Reddish Vale Farm, Chester Zoo as well as private screenings at Cineworld.
Our charity has also continued to be the official distributor of the Max Card which has enabled families in
Tarneside to ac￿SS discounts on theme parks. farms, bowling, zoo's etc
We've increased our support specifically for parents by providing parent support groups, a mum's lunch, mum's
night, dads curry night, coffee mornings.
We've increased the aTnount of parent carer workshops on specific issues that our parent carers have requested
throughout the year. Workshops have been provided on Sleep, Understanding Autism, Understanding ADHD.
Sensory Processing. Selective Mutism, Challenging Behaviour arld Mental Health.
We've also been able to offer a variety of ways for parent carers to access workshops, including virtual, evenings
and daytime sessions to fit around work and other commitments.
Austerity has continued to hit our families hard which has seen an increase in attendance to all our events, this is
due to our acliwlies and events being greally subsidised and therefore making them more affordable than
mainstream universal activities.
As a direct result of our charity raising awareness of the cost-of-living crisis on Granada Reports we were
contacted by the Founders of the LHR Charitable Foundation. This charity has continued to provide invaluable
financial support which has enabled us lo help some of the most vulnerable families in our area that are in crisis.
The Local Authority has continued to support us and we are very grateful to them. They recognise and
understand the benefit of supporting us, to support local families who have children with SEND.
Our charity continues to work with the Local Authority, NHS and the voluntary sector to ensure that provision for
our families continues to improve and evolve to meet their needs. We look forward to continuing to look at lots
of cost effective ways to continue to deliver services.
As a direct result of our co-production work with the NHSIICB, we were commissioned to provide specific support
to families in Tameside and Glossop who have children awaiting health therapies or autism12dhd assessments
via CAMHS. This funding enabled us to widen our offer to families and has been extended to March 2025.

Achievements and performance {¢ontlnuedl
In April 2023 we held another SEND Local Offer Day at the Village Hotel Ashton which was an amazing su￿sS
attended by parentslcarers and professionals.
The above achievements have only been made possible due lo Ihe commitment of our wonderful volunteers.
Our volunteers are made up of so many different people, some a￿ trustees. parentslcarers, and some are
daughters, sons, and friends of the above. The charity is extremely lucky to have these people and we would like
to thank each and every one of them for all their hard work and tireless dedication to make a positive differen
to the children and families we work with.
Financlal review
Our income from grants has decreased this year bul we have seen an increase in fundraising.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have considered and agreed that lo allow the Charity to be managed efficiently and lo provide a
margin for uninterrupted seNices, a general reserve of £30,000 should be maintained. This equates to
approximately six months of unrestricted funds expenditure. The level of the general reserve is reviewed by the
Trustees on an annual basis.
Principle funding sources
In the last 12 months we have been supported by amazing fundraisers and generous donations and we would
like to say a special thankyou to the following people, companies and organisalions for their invaluable support.
Fundraisers and Donators..
Tanya Ladley- Tanya's Taggy's

Investment policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the
short term so there are few funds for any longer term investment.
Risk Management
The management committee has conducted a rewew of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Vvhere
appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Procedures
are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, young people, other seNice users
and visitors.

very grateful for the many years of practical and financial support that Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council
and the NHS ICB have given us.
As we approach yet another year of austerity and cost of living crisis we will continue to look positively to
the future and find creative ways of ensuring that our charity can continue to provide support
& servi￿$ to children & families in the Tameside & Glossop area.
