Expenditure continues to support our key objectives of making information available in a form that everyone
understands. creating employment opportunities for people with leaming disabilit18s and autistic people. to teach
members and others to speak up for themselves and learn more, and to promote self-advocacy. As will be seen
from the statement of financial activities, we had an increase in expenditure during the year to maintain all our
seNice provision to an excellent standard and to ensure all project outcomes and milestones were delivered. and
continue to be delivered. with gr8at success, whilst at the same time safeguarding employment for people with
learning disabilty and autistic people. Some of the increase in expenditures resulted from increaslng the number of
employed Experts by Experience as Peer Support Workers. This further endorses our belief that the services we
provide ar8 of an invaluable need for all the people we support, in what are still axceedingly difficult economlc times,
and for the prospects of the Charity.
Speakup has net assets of £498,537 12023 £186,529) and will continue in its aim of achieving the levels of
reserves as stated by the reserves policy below.
ReseNes policy
11 is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be
maintained at a level equlvalent to between three- and six-months, expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves
at this level will ensur8 that, in the event of a significant drop In funding, they will b8 able to continue the Charity's
current activities thiile conslderation is given to ways in which additional funds may be ralsed. As at th8 8nd of
March 2024 the Charity's unrestricted funds were at a level equal to approximately five months of unrestrlcted
expenditure as required by thls pollcy.
The revaluation reserve, £nil (2023 - £40.106) has been reallsed by disposing of the freehold property.
At 31 March 2024. the amount of restricted funds was £247.47112023 - £34,162) as detailed in note 17.
The unrestricted funds held by Speakup, after making allowance for any restricted funds and respective revaluation
reserve, was £251,06612023- £112.261).
Plans for future perlods
Whilst we are genérally finding the funding landscape dfficult. there are opportunities for increased commlssioning
of our services regarding the ongoing Transforming Care agenda and the NHS 10 Year Plan.
We are passionate about the employment of people wrth a learning disabillty and autistic people, and we will
continue to offer employment opportunities and work placements to as many people with a leaming disability and
autistic people as we are able lo and for as long as we are able to do so.
We continue to experience an increasingly negative impact on dlsabled people being in employment because of
ongoing welfare benefit changes. This is due mainly to disabled people being re-assessed for Person81
Independence Payments (PIP) and losing what was their Disability Living Allowance (DLA)., even when they had
b8en awarded DLA'for life,.
People are now being migrated from their 'legacy' b8n8fits on to Universal Credlt (following having to make a new
claim) which, often, leads to a redudion in overall income. As Univ8rsal Credit is paid monthly. this is leading to
people experiencing budgeting issues and can lead to people being In arrears with th8ir priority bills. This can
increase further their levels of despair and anxiety. and begs Ihe question "are disabled people better off in work?"

SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
As a nationally recognised self-advoGa¢y organisation, committed to the employment of people wrth a learning
disability, autislic p80ple and increasing employment opportunities when8v8r possible. we will endeavour to seek
new opportunities that will enable us to embrace our philosophies and objectives. These opportunities help build
peoples. confiden¢8, id8ntity and self-worth and reach their personal potantial to work. We also facilitste and
support excellent Peer and Group advocacy.
We continue supporting people with learnlng disabilities and autistic people through our 'Peaceful Futures, project,
Improving Lives project and 'Friendship Circles, and 'Solutions Circles, work. and providing people with 'Hospital
Passports, and 'Health Passports, in support of thelr health needs. This work helps people to develop positive social
nelworks andlor famity relationships and helps p80ple cultivate relationships that provide emotional and practiGal
support, increase r8silience. and foster a sense of connectedness. This also enables people with learning
disabilities and autistic people who face material deprivation to benefit from having a Friendship Circle and Solution
Circle of support to help kèep them out of crisis and improve their resilience to futur8 crises.
The aim of the 'Peaceful Futur&s' project is to build up people's resilience and confiden¢8 so that they are able to
live independently, ¢ope with times of crisis and feel that they are living their best life. Feelings of isolation decreas8
through peer support and meeting oth8r people in similar Circumstances in a nurturing environment, and mental and
physical health improves. Household or family income will be stabilis8d through access to public entitlements and
individuals wlll feel more able to manage th8ir money, better navigating the transition from weekiy benefit payments
to monthly Universal Credil Payments, by providing the vital support that will be needed. This project wlll enable and
support beneficiaries to be more resilient, experience less anxieties, and be less likely to fall into crisis in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Speakup Self Advocacy Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31

statements, including a summary of signifi(znt accounting policies. The financial reporting frdmework that has been

ended.,
have been properfy prepared in aGcordanGe with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice,.
and
have been prepared in accordance wlth the raquirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audlt in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilit18s under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of

Conclusions relatlng to golng concern
In auditing the financial stat8m8nts, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the golng concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financlal statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomied. 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 8 period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern ar8 described in the
relevant seclions of this report.
Other information
The other infom)ation comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements
and our auditorfs report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual
report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infomiation and. except to the extent
otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assuranGe conclusion thereon. Our
responsibility is to read the other informalion and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit. or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are
required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If.
based on the work we have perfornied, we conclud8 that there is a matertal misstatement of this other information.
we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
Matters on whlch we are required to report by exceptlon
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtalned in the course of the
audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors, report included within th8 trustees, report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires
us to report lo you if, in our opinion:
adequate ac(x)unting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us,. or
th8 financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration spacifi8d by law are not made., or
we have not received all th8 information and explanations we requlre for our audtt. or
the trustees were not antitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies
regime and take advantage of th8 small companies, exemptions in preparing the trustees, report and from the
requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilltles of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities. the trustees, who are also the dlrectors of the
charity for the purpose of company law. are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a Irue and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary lo
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, 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 concem, disclosing, as applicable, matt8rs related to going concem and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranc8 about whether the financial statements as a whole are fr88 from
mat8rial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that indudes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurdnce but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misststement when It exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregata, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic décisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detsctlng irregularltles, Including fraud and the audit
response
Irregularities, including fraud, are instanc8s of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to deted material misstatements in respect of irregularities, includlng
fraud. The extent to which our procedures ar8 capable of detecting irregularities, Includlng fraud is detail&d b810w.'
At the planning stage we identlfled areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to hav8 a
material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through
discussion wlth the trustees and other management, as required by auditing standards. The potential eff8ct of any
laws and regulation on the financial statements can vary considerably. Thar8 are laws and regulations that directly
affe¢t thè financial statements {è.g. the Companies Act, The Statement of Recommended Practic8 (SORP)) as well
as many olher operational laws and regulations where the Gonsequ8nces of non-compliance could have a material
effect on amounts or disclosur8s in the financi81 statements. Owing to th& size, nature and complexity of the
organisation and the applicable laws and regulations to which it must adhere, the risk of material mlsstatement was
deemed to be low. Therefore th8 procedures performed by the audlt team wera limited to:
Communicating id8ntif18d laws and regulations at planning throughout the audit t8am to remain alert to any
indications of non-compllance throughout th8 audit.
Enquiry of management and those charged wlth governance around actual and potential litigatlon and
claims as well as non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Revi8wing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentatlon to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.
Raviewing board minutes.

SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF SPEAKUP SELF ADVOCACY LIMITED
We have assessed the overall susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement due to fraud as low
because the nature of the business does not particularly lend itself to fraud.
Management override is the most likely way in which fraud might present itself and as such is inherently high risk on
any audit. Management override, which may cause there to be a material misstatement within the financial
stalements, may present itself in a number of ways, for example..
Override of internal controls (e.g. segregation of duties).
Entering into transactions outside the normal course of businèss. especially with related parties.
Fraudulent revenue recognition, including fictitious sales and sales being recorded in the wrong period.
Presenting bias in accounting judgements and estimates.
In order to reduce the risk of material misstatement to an acceptable level, numerous audit procedures were
performed including..
Enquiries of management as to whether they had any knowl8dg8 Ot any actual or suspected fraud.
Review of all material journal &ntries made to prepare the financial stalements.
Reviewing the underlying rationale behind transactions in order to assess whether they were outside the
nomial course of busine5S.
Increased substantive testing across all material income streams.
Reviewing board minutes.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that W8 may not have detected malerial
misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have perfomed our audit In accordance with auditing
standards. Furthermore, as with all audits, there is a hlgher rlsk of irregularities {especially those relating to fraud)
being undetected, as these may involve the override of intemal controls, collusion, intentional omissions and
misrepresentations etc. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and therefore cannot be
expected to detect all instances of such. Our audit was not designed to identify misstatements or other irregularities
that would not be considered to be material lo the financial statements. The further removed non-compli8n¢e with
laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financi81 statements, the less likely we
would become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reportlng Council's wabsite at: htty)s-.11
v￿W.frc.org.UklaLJdrt0rsresponSlbllitles. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16
of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we mighl slate to the charitable company'5
members ihose matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable
company and the charitable company's members as a body. for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we
have fomied.
