Disability Centre for Independent Living Limited Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 March 2023

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2023, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the charities Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; FRS 102) issued in October 2019.

Our vision is for Sheffield to be a place where disabled people have freedom, equality and independence

Disability Sheffield Centre for Independent Living Limited (Disability Sheffield) is a registered charity and a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO). DPOs are organisations run by disabled people, for disabled people.

Since 2003, our local charity has been enabling disabled people in Sheffield to overcome the barriers that prevent them from being fully included in society.

We are committed to and promote the ‘Social Model of Disability’. We believe that people with impairments are disabled by the barriers they face in everyday life – e.g. inaccessible communication formats, people’s attitudes or inaccessible buildings – not by the way their minds and bodies work.

We are a user- and lived-experience led organisation. In addition to our main work of engaging the local disabled community, a high percentage of our trustees, staff and volunteers have personal experience of living with an impairment (currently >75%). We are therefore well placed to equip disabled people with the knowledge and confidence to address the challenges they face.

During 2022/23 our fantastic, dedicated team of paid staff, trustees and volunteers continued to rebuild and reshape activities in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. We continued our critical work of getting much needed PPE out to vulnerable people and re-adapted other services in a way that kept the positive learning from the pandemic, in particular using a hybrid mix of face-face and online activity and engagement to reach more people. We now have a staff team of 20 and over 40 volunteers, including our trustees. During the year we also hosted a number of educational placements, including medical students and local sixthformers.

After more than a decade of service to Disability Sheffield having stabilised the organisation over recent years, Emily Morton, our Chief Executive left to pursue a new life in Wales. We are thankful for all Emily’s hard work over the years and wish her all the best in the future. Emily was succeeded by Stephen Bonner at the beginning of January 2023.

During the year we also sadly lost both our long-serving trustee, Brian Hodges and former colleague Andrew Crooks, both of whom were hugely valued and much loved across the organisation. We will always be grateful for all their support, commitment, passion and humanity.

Our Aims

We work alongside disabled people, organisations that represent them, the statutory and voluntary sectors, and the wider community to:

  1. Promote inclusion, choice and control.

  2. Encourage independent living.

  3. Give a collective voice to one of Sheffield’s lesser heard communities.

  4. Challenge negative perceptions of disability.

We achieve our aims by:

Campaigning for change through strengthening the voice of disabled people

Sheffield Voices

Our self-advocacy group for people with a learning disability and/or autism continued to grow both in terms of people involved and issues addressed. It has developed over the year with engagement in a range of activities. The group has been meeting both on-line over zoom and face to face, an approach developed initially as a response to COVID, but one that has proven successful and will be continued. Meetings have been a mixture of socials and issues based.

The group has been exploring ways of using creative arts to focus on issues affecting people with a learning disability. We continued to support The Magic Pen writing group, creative art group and the Pyjama Drama creative drama groups as ways of providing a range of accessible ways for members to focus on issues for disabled people.

For example, the drama group, created two different plays over the year. The first, 'Welcome to Sunny Smiles' was a parody of what care and group living looks like for a lot of people with a learning disability and Autism, consisting of 5 separate, scripted scenes. This hard hitting but also funny play was shown to an audience of around 150 people which included family and friends of the actors and professionals such as commissioners of services. The second play 'Waiting Room Anon' was shown on the 18th November to a similar audience but also including clinical leads, local commissioners and psychiatrists from Sheffield Health and Social Care.

In 2022-23 Sheffield Voices, commissioned by Sheffield City Council, also delivered the coproduction element of the new Working Age Framework for adults with a learning disability. ‘A Chance to Choose’ was chosen thanks to our creative suite of self-advocacy projects which enabled participation from seldom heard voices, such as the drama, art and film groups. The new framework not only included supported living providers as before, but also day/evening opportunities and respite care, which would become the new ‘People with a Disability’ framework. We worked with over 500 people with a learning disability and carers during a four-month period to understand what people think about supported living services, respite care and people’s day activities. The culmination of the coproduction period was setting up 'We Speak You Listen’ - a community sharing space where people can come together, share ideas and have direct access to service providers at a policy level.

Equality Partnership and Engagement Work

This year we continued to facilitate the Disability Partnership as part of the Equality Partnership raising issues of concern for disabled people in the City, working closing with the other Partnerships to raise issues of inequality, particularly when intersectionality or conflicting interests between broad priority groups occurred.

Our engagement, communication and policy worker continued to develop close links with the Access Liaison Group, of which he is the Chair and Sheffield Transport for All.

One area of success relates to the long-standing issue of discriminatory behaviour by taxi drivers and companies. After actively lobbying the local authority through our networks and partnerships, including both the Equalities Partnership Hub and the Access Liaison Group, the Licensing committee have recently implemented a new complaints service to investigate taxi incidents. In addition, the main taxi operator in Sheffield is now being held accountable over improvements to their systems and their duties under the Equality Act legislation. Finally, we are also working with the council for disability awareness and skills training for taxi drivers to be compulsory and supporting them in evaluating potential courses for approval, ensuring that they include a strong lived experience element.

Direct Payment engagement work

We continued to facilitate the Individual Employer and PA Development Group which meets to discuss and raise issues of concern for people in receipt of a direct payment employing their own personal assistant, including discussions around direct payment support within the City. We also attempted to expanded our mailing list / reach of people in receipt of a direct payments, particularly those from LGBT and ethnically diverse communities which had previously been under-represented. However this work has not yet had the impact hoped for. As the broader approach – of reconnecting and reinvigorating with our supporter base more broadly – is essential to retain Disability Sheffield’s position as a user-led organisation, representative of the local community, this will be a priority focus area for the next year.

Developing and delivering services which promote inclusive living – and promote good practice across Sheffield and Nationally

Advocacy and Information Service

We continued to deliver an advocacy support for people struggling to access health and social care and an information service for disabled people through our grant from Sheffield CCG. We entered our 6[th] year working with Citizens Advice Sheffield Cloverleaf as part of the Advocacy Hub for the City, providing statutory advocacy. 2022-23 was due to be the final year of provision under this contract before the service was retendered. Due to delays with the process however the contract has been extended to 31st March 2024.

In 2022-23 we supported over 200 different people with advocacy support and helped 500 people over the phone, providing information related to disability. The top ten topics that came up for us this year were:

Topic Number of occasions
Advocacy 152
Benefits 110

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

Both our Generic and Statutory advocacy contracts continue to be heavily oversubscribed, with significant waiting lists / periods to access support. Whilst this is intrinsically linked to levels of funding available, this is an area we are hoping to look at over the next year or two.

Information and Communication

Our information service has been key to providing disabled people with general and personalised signposting and information across a hole range of issues that fall outside of traditional advocacy. An example of how this support has helped people this year is an individual fed back to us that they wanted to say thank you to our service. They spoke to someone in Jan and were signposted to NICE guidance. The information provided helped her challenge the CCG and get her son specialist equipment through the NHS.

Alongside this we ensured that up to date information and upcoming opportunities were available via our website, regular newsletter and other comms channels, including social media.

Support for people in receipt of a direct payment

Our PPE delivery service, set-up as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, finally closed on March 31st, 2023. For three years the project provided a vital supply of PPE to some of Sheffield’s most at-risk residents. In total the Disability Sheffield COVID-19 PPE Service recruited 31 volunteers who delivered 3,958 bags of PPE to 214 Individual Employers, Personal Assistants and Carers.

To conclude, the Disability Sheffield COVID-19 PPE Service was a vital service provided at a very difficult time for Disabled people in Sheffield. We should be proud of the amount of potentially vulnerable people we were able to keep safe and acknowledge that most of our PPE recipients would not have been able to receive the daily care and support they need without the support of our organisation.

Sheffield Cycling 4 All

The project continues to expand its reach and cycling opportunities, using the 5 year Lottery community programme grant as a basis for the work. In the last year 760 new people have registered with us, with an average of 100 people cycling a week and we now have 3,043 people on our data base (both cyclists and their support).

The E-Trike loan scheme has expanded and now offers a range of e-trikes. There has been learning with regards to the portability and storage of some E-Trikes as well as their functionality in a hilly City which is being used to inform future purchases. The loan scheme is expected to remain a priority area for future development, helping to it bring cycling in to people’s everyday lives and act as a bridge to cyclists purchasing their own trikes eventually.

www.disabilitysheffield.org.uk

The project co-ordinators have linked with other inclusive cycling projects throughout the country and alongside delivering cycling sessions have been active in promoting active travel. This has included lobbying for, and supporting cyclists to lobby for accessible cycle lanes and the removal of barriers on cycle paths, as well as increasingly being sought out by subregional statutory bodies for consultation and assessment work on planned routes and works.

We provided information and support to anyone looking to buy or ride a trike or cycle, ranging from information sheets, video reviews of cycles, and advising people 1-1. Our review video for the Etnic alone has had over 27k views and we receive inquiries from all over the UK and even internationally, including Germany and the US.

Healthy Living and Physical Activity Project

After identifying the barriers people with Severe Mental Illness, a Learning Disability and/or Autism faced in accessing healthy living and physical activity opportunities in their local communities in it’s first year, this year the project worked with it’s steering group to develop and roll-out a toolkit to support providers to make their sessions as accessible as possible. The project also established a ‘mystery shopper’ scheme to help organisations identify specific elements in relation to their services. In total the toolkit was sent out to 47 VCS organisations across Sheffield, with 17 organisations taking part in mystery shopper visits.

Training

We have continued to develop our training offer including delivery of our autism training to supported living staff, delivering mental health training to PAs, Disability Equality Training to Providers. Capacity of staff and freelance workers has limited the development of this offer further.

We secured a 6[th] year of funding from Skills for Care to offer a training programme for over individual employers in receipt of a direct payment and personal assistants. The training was delivered both on-line and in person but take-up was again very low as it has been for the last few years. This, however, is not an issue specific to Disability Sheffield as a very similar pattern is reported by other organisations delivering the programme across the country.

Working in partnership with a range of organisations:

We continue to work in partnership with a range of organisations including amongst others; Healthwatch Sheffield, Sheffield City Council, South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board. Our engagement worker James is chair of the Access Liaison Group and Sheffield Transport 4 All. We have continued to be members of the Learning Disability and Autism Partnership Boards, and have supported the development of an Autism Partnership Network in the City. We are part of a city-wide response to the Cost of Living Crisis and sit on the strategic partnership and tactical group.

Trustees, staff members and volunteers represent the organisation on a number of local, regional and national boards, committees and partnerships including; Disability Rights UK Your Voices Group, Learning Disability England, BUiLD amongst others. The Chief Executive regularly meets with other social leaders in the city through the Sheffield VCS Leaders Forum and VCS strategic health group. Sheffield Voices are part of several University of Sheffield projects, including Humanising Healthcare.

How we funded our work

Our funding portfolio includes a mix of commissioned services and engagements from public sector bodies (such as our individual advocacy support, the Sheffield Equality Hub Partnership, etc.), targeted grants and projects (Sheffield Voices Pyjama Drama group, Sheffield Cycling 4 All, etc.) and earnt and donated income.

We are grateful to our funders who have enabled us to continue working with disabled people in Sheffield. Our largest funders this year continue to be Sheffield City Council, the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (was NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group) and the National Lottery Community Fund.

We are also grateful to our other funders in 2022-23 including:

We are very grateful for the donations we have received in support of our work in 2022-23, including from Next and our ongoing anonymous donation to support bike maintenance. Some donations have been as a thank you for the service people have accessed and others in memory of a loved ones.

We also generated some earnt income through delivery of training on a range of areas including autism insight, disability equality. Sheffield Voices continues to develop it’s paid-for easy-read service, producing commissioned easy read versions of documents for a number of organisation including Sheffield City Council and Sheffield Health and Social Care.

Strategic Plan and Developments

The strategic plan is reviewed on annual basis. At the July 2022 Board meeting the trustees reviewed the strategic plan, agreeing that it is still a true reflection of our purpose and future direction. However it was agreed that we need to rewrite the strategic plan in a more accessible and easy read format and that this will be part of a whole organisation away day later this year

www.disabilitysheffield.org.uk

Over the past two years we have grown as an organisation both in terms of the numbers of staff, volunteers and also the disabled people we engage with. We will therefore be reviewing our staffing structures, resources and operational infrastructure over the coming 18-months / 2 years to ensure that they are still fit for purpose as we become a larger organisation.

The funding and fundraising board sub-group continues to meet bi-monthly. This has provided the opportunity for more focused discussions on our funding situation and enabled us to explore options to diversify our income as they have arisen. We migrated from SAGE 50 to SAGE Cloud during the year and employed a finance officer which has freed up some of the Chief Executive’s time. A freelance accountant and volunteer supported with the migration including the development of some finance management report templates for Board reporting.

Our internal group POTs (Part of the Solution) made up of staff, trustees and volunteers continued to meet throughout the year and has recently decided to be amalgamated into the team meeting on a 6 weekly basis to enable everyone to be involved in this important piece of work. The group has helped us to focus as an organisation on how we become a more diverse and inclusive organisation.

We continue to review the suitability of our office accommodation with an expanded staff team, though an increase in hybrid working. Our office located in the city centre has always made for an accessible, easy to access location, however developments in the City centre have led to the loss of a number of disabled parking bays and changes to road layouts which are impacting on people’s ability to access the offices.

We have some stability in our funding with 18 months left on the SC4A Reaching Communities Funding and 15 months on our 3 year SY ICB healthy living and physical activity project. In addition the Council are wanting to commission us for 2 years to facilitate increased engagement and coproduction of people with a learning disability in the City following on from the success of the Sheffield Voices ‘ We Speak, You Listen’ monthly engagement sessions and the Your Chance to Choose Project. We are also in discussions with Penderels Trust who have a pot of funding committed to working with a disabled people’s organisation as part of their delivery of a direct payment support service in the City.

Over the coming year we will continue to look at raising funds in a range of ways to enable us to increase the number of disabled people we are reaching. There have been a number of opportunities to generate income through delivery of training and consultancy support, as well as input into national and local projects, including partnerships with the Universities, which we will carry on developing.

Financial results of activities and events

The total income for the year was £556,262 (2022: £568,829) and total expenditure amounted to £578,544 (2022: £521,710) Disability Sheffield saw a decrease in income for this financial year of £12,567 and an increase in expenditure of £56,834. This resulted in a net expenditure of £22,282. Over the last couple of years the organisation has managed surpluses and maintained a good level of unrestricted reserves to guard against sudden changes. However with the continued pressure on resources the Board recognise the importance of continuing to ensure that the organisation has sufficient unrestricted reserves.

Reserves policy

The trustees have agreed that reserves should be maintained at a level which ensures that the organisation’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty and could meet all known liabilities, both contingent and actual involved in winding up the organisation including redundancy costs should that be necessary.

The reserves target is calculated annually and reviewed at the end of each financial year in line with the Reserves Policy. Within the annual accounts where the reserves are above the agreed total in the policy the Directors will be explicit about how this funding should be deployed. The directors consider it prudent that the level of unrestricted reserves held should be no less than £96,700.

As at 31 March 2023 free reserves (general funds excluding fixed assets) stood at £113,769 which is in line with the sum required by Disability Sheffield Centre for Independent Living.

An additional £34,012 was held in designated funds for ongoing projects.

Future Aims with regard to Reserves

Disability Sheffield Centre for Independent Living will continue to ensure that sufficient grant funding and revenue income is sought in a timely manner to retain reserves at the agreed level within each financial accounting period.

Monitoring and Reviewing

The adequacy of the level of reserves required will be reviewed on an annual basis by the directors.

Governing documents

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16th January 2003 and registered as a charity on 13th January 2006. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2023 is 36 (2022 - 36). The Directors' have no beneficial interest in the charity.

www.disabilitysheffield.org.uk

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as Directors. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Board are elected to serve a year after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. Temporary vacancies are filled by the Directors until the following AGM and can be re-elected. The Board appoints the honorary officers at its first meeting after the Annual General Meeting.

Darren Lee continued for a further year as Chair. Zanib Malik was elected at the AGM as Vice Chair and continued in the role until May 2022 when she secured a role within the organisation as a paid advocate and therefore resigned as a director. New directors are subject to a recruitment process, to encourage individuals to think about what they will bring to the organisation. It gives the Chair, Vice Chair and directors an opportunity to meet with candidates before joining the Board.

The Board seeks to represent the voice of disabled people in the City and we strive to ensure that no less than 75% of its members are disabled people. This is an important part of our structure and one that ensures Disability Sheffield remains a Disabled People's User Led Organisation (DPULO).

Organisational structure

All directors serve on the Board, which meets a minimum of 4 times per year to review performance and long-term strategies for Disability Sheffield. Task and finish groups are established as required to support one-off projects.

During 2022-23 the senior management team comprised of;

Chief Executive: Emily Morton, 1[st] April to 31[st] December 2022, then Stephen Bonner 1[st] January to 31[st] March 2023.

Advocacy Manager Mary Philipps

They led a team of 20 staff (majority part-time) and over 40 volunteers.

Overall strategic responsibility for the organisation lies with the directors who serve on the Board to set policy and monitor performance. The Chief Executive implements the policies; manages day to day affairs, and report to the Board. The Chief Executive is supported by a team of staff underpinned by robust governance and decision-making arrangements to ensure the effective running of the organisation.

Notes to the Accounts For the year to 31 March 2023

1 Accounting Policies

Disablity Sheffield Centre for Independent Living Limited is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements have adopted Charities SORP (FRS102) Bulletin 1, and taken advantage of the option not to prepare a Statement of Cashflows.

Disablity Sheffield Centre for Independent Living Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

Income is recognised when the organisation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income for multi or split financial year projects, as specified by the funder, has been recognised in that year. This may result in deferred income or income received in advance.

Income from services provided is included in the year in which the service took place. Investment income is included when receivable.

(c) Donated goods and services

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

(d) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(e) Fixed Assets

Depreciation has been calculated to write down the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful live, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment - straight line over 3 to 5 years Bicycles - straight line over 3 to 5 years

(f) 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.

(g) Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Notes to the accounts (continued) For the year to 31 March 2023

1 Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(i) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated funds are funds set aside at the discretion of the trustees for a specific project.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder.

(j) Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

(k) Taxation

As a charity, the organisation is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within the available tax exemptions to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the charity.

(l) Leases

Rental payable and receivable under operation leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(m) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that the charity will continue to operate for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. Not all funding streams are secure this far in advance however the trustees will develop a plan of action to be taken to reduce costs, should the required income not be secured.

Sheffield Cycling 4 All

Prior to April 2016 Sheffield Cycling 4 All was operating as a small community group. In April 2016 it became part of Disability Sheffield. The community group ceased to exist and all funds were transferred across from the groups bank account to Disability Sheffield and ringfenced for inclusive cycling. The overspend from the People's Health Trust (Health Rich) restricted fund has been transferred to this designated fund.

Sheffield Voices

Reserves brought across to Disability Sheffield following the closure of SUFA, a self-advocacy organisation for people with learning difficulties. The reserves are held in a cost centre to support the project costs of the group who meet regularly, both in person and on zoom. The group is now known as Sheffield Voices. Funds include earnt income from involvement in regional and national projects, and providing training.
