It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association, dated 8 April 2004, amended by special resolutions dated 4 April 2005, 11 July 2011 and 29 October 2014. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To provide relief and support to children with disabilities and/or special educational needs, their parents and carers by working in partnership with all agencies providing services and support to said persons with the object of improving services, promoting positive access, social inclusion, protection and wellbeing of such persons.

The charity's main activities

The main activities of Unique Ways fall broadly under the banner of services and activities that have a benefit to and improve outcomes for families of disabled children and young people.

This is principally achieved through the delivery of a range of projects, representing the views of families with statutory agencies and creating services that are based upon needs identified by families of disabled children and young people.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to work together with the families and carers of disabled children and young people to create positive change in their daily lives.

Achievements and performance

I have pleasure in presenting my third Chairs’ Report since becoming Chair in 2018.

The financial year 2020-2021 has been extremely difficult for our charity, as it has been for the majority of smaller local third sector organisations.

As Unique Ways have traditionally provided face to face support for our parent carer members during three periods of lockdown we were unable to offer any in-person support. Although we moved to a virtual model where possible as our parent carer members had their children/young people with them at home, combining home schooling with 100% care responsibilities was very difficult for them to be able to participate virtually.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our CEO and the staff who continued to offer outstanding support to the families of Calderdale, and to our front line staff for their understanding during a period of furlough in which we had to adapt to the reduced demand with schools being closed.

I would further like to thank Helen Norris and Amanda Rorrison who left us this year for their service to the charity and wish them all the best in their new ventures.

We have had quite a few changes to the team, with Nicola Hanson joining us as the Membership Officer in April and Skye Barrett joining as the Self Advocacy Practitioner, also in April. Also joining us were Jill Greenwood, Sleep Practitioner and Leah Webster as Education Practitioner. The feedback we have received from parent carers regarding the new team members has been exemplarily, with them going the extra mile to ensure our members receive the best possible support. Martin Reynolds, Office Co-ordinator and Heidi Coney, Family Voice Calderdale Co-ordinator are still established members of the team. At some points during the year, it was a case of Martin, Heidi and Shona manning the entire functions of the charity, I must therefore commend them for their fortitude and dedication.

I am extremely grateful of the assistance provided to me by the Chief Executive, Shona Walsh and I know Shona values the team’s continued efforts in supporting our members in the best way possible through the staff team.

Achievements and performance (continued)

In terms of our core ‘ordinary lives’ service offer:-

Sleep Practitioner : Service continued virtually throughout the year, with in person support returning in July 2021

Education (EHCP’s) : Service continued virtually throughout the year, with in person support returning in July 2021

Education (General) : Service continued virtually throughout the year, with in person support returning in July 2021

Self-Advocacy (forms, etc.) : Service re-introduced from April 2021 with in person support from July 2021.

Peer support sessions : Face to face sessions resumed from July 2021.

Training courses : Two virtual training courses were held during the year with face to face training due to resume in November 2021.

Membership

At the end of 2020 we had a membership of 1,094 and as of March 2021, our membership has risen considerably again, having a database of 1,300 members.

Annual Survey – response rate

We are mindful that when our Annual Survey went live (April 2020) our parent carer members were at home with the children/young people and we were in the very early days of the pandemic, we therefore expected a low response rate. Although the number of participants taking part in our annual survey has reduced (163 in 2020) we had 127 responses for 2021 but 86 fully completed therefore our completion rate has improved from 58% to 68%.

Annual Survey – Satisfaction rate

We always ask the question of our membership “how likely are you to recommend Unique Ways?” and I’m delighted to say we have maintained the same satisfaction rate for this - 98%.

Finally, I would like to end with a quote from a parent carer member from our annual survey 2021

“ I think personally that you have done an excellent job in delivering services and support to parent under these exceptionally difficult circumstances”.

Oliver Wilby, Chair Board of Trustees

Financial review

The net income for the year after transfers and the actuarial loss deduction was £91,915, including net income of £30,742 on unrestricted funds and net income of £61,173 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £75,735.

To ensure the financial viability of the fund and its ability to meet its ongoing commitments we will aim towards maintaining, on average, sufficient reserves to cover approximately three months' expenditure which we have calculated as £50,000 and the long term pension liability of £19,749.

Although our free reserves are above our reserves policy, the additional free reserves will be used to support the charities core costs in the immediate future and to ensure continuation of our core services while we await the outcome of some future funding.

Coronavirus impact statement

As the coronavirus pandemic initially impacted on the majority of our face to face services, we were able to access the government furlough scheme, which enabled us to reduce our staffing costs in the first six months of 20/21 by approximately £13,000. As we move to continue to offer our services virtually, one post has been reduced from 20 to 15 hrs/week due to reduced workload.

We have also

The Board has assessed the financial position and we are satisfied that the current levels of unrestricted funds, alongside income from the Local Authority and National Lottery place us in a financially viable position.

We anticipate further income from the bids listed above. Furthermore, the Board is satisfied that the organisation has not suffered a financial loss as a result of coronavirus.

In light of this, the Board have concluded that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. 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 UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment over 5 years

Notes to the accounts

4 Pension

The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 37 non-associated employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK.

It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.

The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement'. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employers' obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2019. This valuation showed assets of £79m, liabilities of £93.9m and a deficit of £14.9m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows:

Deficit contributions

From 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2027: £1,530,000 per annum

(payable monthly and increasing by 3.0% each year on 1st April)

The recovery plan contributions are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the scheme liabilities.

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.

The company must recognise a liability measured as the present value of the contributions payable that arise from the deficit recovery agreement and the resulting expense in the income and expenditure account i.e. the unwinding of the discount rate as a finance cost in the period in which it arises.

It is these contributions that have been used to derive the company's balance sheet liability.

The liability of £23,130 is shown as a creditor in the accounts and is split between due within one year (£3,381) and more than one year (£19,749).
