Trustees’ Annual Report & Statement of Financial Activity for the period 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025

1. Introduction

1.1 Charitable Objects

1.2 Overview (Executive Summary)

During the year from 1[st] September 2024 to 31[st] August 2025 the membership of the charity has increased by 352 families. On 31[st] Aug 2025 we had 3,644 families in our membership with at least 7,187 children including siblings. 4,077 of the children have a diagnosis of (or are being assessed for) ADHD and/or Autism (2,355 with/assessed for ADHD; 3,251 with/assessed for Autism; 1,529 with/assessed for both Autism and ADHD).

Throughout the year 265 parents/carers attended one or more of the support groups (a mixture of virtual and in-person meetings). Some members attended very regularly (over 25 times during the year) and some for just one or two meetings. On average they attended 2.7 meetings each this year with 78% of attendances at virtual meetings and 22% at in-person meetings.

In addition to our regular support groups, we have also run several workshops on the topic of EHCP application forms and Annual Reviews. These workshops provide more in-depth information in smaller groups. 72 parents/carers have accessed support through these smaller groups this year. We also ran an evening workshop on the topic of Autism and Anxiety which 22 parents/carers attended.

483 families used the one-to-one service during the year. They accessed support in a variety of ways with the service providing: 360 hours of face-to-face (or video call) meetings, 276 hours of support at meetings with other professionals (school, Health Visitor, multi-agency meetings etc.), 254 hours of support via phone/email and 29 hours of support through text/Facebook Messenger.

We also delivered, with some support from the Letchworth Family Support Team, another two small group courses for 11 parents from Letchworth who were at the start of the process of having their child assessed for Autism or ADHD or whose children have had a recent diagnosis. We are planning to continue these courses in the year ahead.

2. Activities & Achievements

2.1 Outputs & Outcomes

More detail about our main outputs

Access to our services

All our services are available to anyone who is a member of the charity. Membership is subject to only one criterion and that is that the member must be a parent/carer of a child who has been diagnosed with (or is being assessed for) Autism/ADHD.

There is no membership fee and no charge for attending any of our services. We give attendees the opportunity to make a small voluntary donation if they would like to but there is no pressure to do so. This ensures that all members can benefit regardless of income levels.

There is no geographical restriction imposed by the charity. The virtual meetings via Zoom have made it easier for members to attend regardless of their location. During the pandemic we saw an increase in the number of new members who are from a wider geographic area than the North Herts and Stevenage community, as our services became more accessible online, and this has continued with our hybrid way of delivering services. We now have members throughout Hertfordshire and also in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and Greater London.

Most of the meetings are during the day as this enables parents/carers to attend while their children are at school. We have continued to offer some virtual meetings as these are accessible for those parents who have young children at home or older children that are currently out of school. Evening meetings (all virtual) are held every three weeks to enable those who work during the day to attend.

Regular support group meetings

Throughout the year we held one virtual daytime meeting for parents/carers each week during term time. In addition, we held a face-to-face meeting in Stevenage every 3 weeks, a face-to-face meeting in Letchworth every 3 weeks and a virtual evening support group every 3 weeks. Some of the meetings provided advice from external professionals or Angels staff on a range of topics related to Autism and ADHD. The other sessions were self-help groups run by our Angels team. We continued with the model of a blend of virtual and face-to-face meetings with the evening meetings also remaining virtual to enable a greater range of parents to access our support.

These meetings benefit the members of the charity in several ways:

One-to-One Clinic meetings

Angels provided several types of one-to-one appointments each week during the school terms. These offered members the opportunity to access more targeted, specific support where needed. The appointments allowed members the time to discuss particular issues related to their child on a one-to-one basis with a trained Specialist Support Practitioner (SSP). They also provided the facility for a SSP to attend a school meeting or other appointment to provide support for the parent/carer. This year we have continued to offer remote appointments using a variety of applications e.g. Zoom, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp alongside in-person meetings to support at meetings with professionals or if it was essential due to the specific needs of the parent. We have also continued to offer some shorter one-to-one appointments via phone and zoom, as well as the hour sessions, to help meet the increased demand for the service.

The clinic appointments provide the same benefits to the members as the support group meetings but are just more flexible. They allow members, who do not feel comfortable discussing issues in a group setting, access to support and provide a more suitable time for issues which are too complex and would take up too much time in a group meeting.

The service has been popular, and the number of appointments limited because of funding restrictions so there has often been a waiting list in place.

Parent Support via phone, email, and Facebook

In addition to the one-to-one clinic appointments, members have also accessed advice and support from the SSP’s remotely via phone, email, or Facebook Messenger. This support was available during term time and a limited service was also available over the school holidays. There was also a “secret” Facebook group which was available only to members and allowed them to discuss issues and get advice from other parents as well as the SSPs. This online group was fully moderated by the SSPs and enabled parents to access support at a time that suits them.

This support provides the same benefits to the members as the support group meetings but just in a more flexible, virtual way. It allows members, who do not feel comfortable discussing issues in a group setting or face-to-face, access to support and provides support to parents who can not attend the support groups due to their location or timing.

Letchworth small group courses

We continued working in partnership with Letchworth Family Support Team to deliver small group courses for parents from Letchworth who are at the start of the process of having their child assessed for Autism or ADHD or whose children have had a recent diagnosis. The project took the form of a set of five workshop sessions for small groups of parents (maximum 5-6) who had previously found it very hard to attend larger groups. The workshops covered basic understanding of the conditions and how they impact the child, understanding of the child’s rights and how to work positively with professionals to secure access to services for the children, including education and health. Due to the small groups the content could be tailored to meet the needs of the parents present, including adjusting for their own learning needs. The idea was to give families a good understanding of how to support their children at the beginning of their journey. Following on from the set of workshops we ran during 2024, we continued with a further two sets of workshops during 2025. During the 2025 workshops the feedback was very positive; All the parent/carers made progress against at least 2 of our measured outcomes and 33% made progress against all 4 outcomes. The project has been funded by Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation.

Networking with various organisations

The Parent Support Manager and other team members regularly meet with local statutory agencies such as health professionals (GP’s, Health Visitors, Speech and Language Therapists, CAMHS workers and Community Paediatricians and their teams) working with children with ADHD and Autism, the Herts County Council Communication and Autism Specialist Advisory service, Herts and Central Beds Children Services social workers, Family Support Worker teams, Family Centre Managers, local school SENCO’s and Outreach workers, the Herts Parent Carer Forum and other agencies supporting parents and representatives from other similar support groups supporting parents/carers of children with ADHD and/or Autism from across Hertfordshire and surrounding counties, as a way of pooling resources and avoiding duplication of effort. The Parent Support Manager has also been involved in work to develop the Autism and ADHD diagnostic pathway in Hertfordshire, in partnership with NHS and County Council colleagues, and also to develop a county-wide support offer for all families and young people diagnosed with the conditions. We are continuing to build working relationships with services in Central Bedfordshire as well.

The benefits of this are as follows:

The beneficiaries include our member families as they can access the information through support group meetings. The benefit of this activity also extends beyond our membership as consultation with local teaching professionals/ statutory services can help to improve services for all children with Autism/ADHD in the local area not just those who are members of the charity.

Outcomes

In order to be able to measure the benefits to our members, of accessing Angels services, we have implemented a ladder scale for 4 outcomes that we have identified as important to our members. The four outcomes are:

Since October 2016, on joining Angels, we have asked members to complete an initial questionnaire to find out how they rated themselves on the scales for each of the four outcomes. 6 months later we asked them to redo the questionnaire and have captured the improvements they have made.

Angels Support Group Hitchin : Trustees’ Annual Report & Financial Statements 2025

Page 6 of 12

In recent years, for members joining after October 2021, we have gathered initial and follow-up questionnaires for 647 members. Parents join us for a wide range of differing reasons and have differing needs, therefore some of the outcomes we measure may not be relevant to all, but when looking at the outcome data overall; 85% of members made progress against at least one target outcome, 63% made progress against more than one outcome and 13% made progress across all the outcomes. Improvements for individual outcomes have been as follows:

2.2 The Roles & Contributions of Volunteers

Although the charity employs several staff it is still very dependent on the contribution made by volunteers. There is a loyal team of volunteer members working hard in all the following areas:

Completing various administrative tasks. Fundraising and Funding Applications. Promoting our services within the local community. Planning and overseeing services through being on our Board of Trustees.

The Trustees would like to thank all our volunteers for their hard work without which we would not be able to provide the same level of service.

2.3 Looking Ahead

As we have continued to grow our membership and adapt our services in the aftermath of the pandemic, we have found more effective ways of working to enable us to support more parents.

We have continued with our weekly online meetings on Zoom, but have added in more face-to-face meetings, including a new monthly group in Letchworth and a new venue for our monthly meeting in Stevenage. We have seen numbers of parents attending all our meetings increase.

Our one-to-one service has seen increased demand and by supporting parents mainly via Zoom or phone we have been able to support higher numbers of parents. We have worked with different models for our service, offering one-hour, 30- minute or 15-minute appointments and then regular contact through Zoom or phone for those parents who need ongoing support. We have continued to develop a localised model where a member of staff is based in one particular area, supporting families from that area, and are trialling this in Letchworth with a grant from the LGCHF. We are finding that having one dedicated member of staff gives greater consistency for parents and offers the chance to build strong relationships with local parents and other stakeholders such as schools. We are investigating funding to do this in other areas.

We have developed a suite of podcasts – short 20–30-minute information chats on issues of interest to parents of neurodivergent children, that aim to provide key information on a given topic that is accessible and can be listened to by parents at any time. These are available free for the general public through our website and on Apple and Spotify under the name Neurodiversity Chats.

We are now sub-contracted by ADD-Vance to deliver one-to-one support for parents who call the Herts Neurodiversity Helpline, that they run, after a successful pilot and partnership working, with ADD-Vance being commissioned to deliver the service in partnership with us until March 2028.

3. Financial Review

3.1 Financial Position

The charity is in a good financial position at the end of August 2025 with actual reserves of £51,992 which is slightly below our planned reserve level of £52,368.

We had to use all the surplus reserves we were holding at the end of the last financial year to support our services after the National Lottery funding stopped in November 2024. This was a planned temporary measure while we secured replacement funding. We have now replaced the National Lottery funding with a range of different grants, so our funding is more diversified and we expect to be able to increase our reserves to the target level.

We are incredibly grateful to all the funders, community organisations, companies and individuals including our members, their families and friends who have supported us during the year and allowed us to adapt and continue the services we provide to our members. Thank you.

3.2 Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit

The Charity has no funds which are materially in deficit.

3.3 Policy on Reserves

The Trustees have decided that the charity needs to hold reserves to cover the possibility of a grant being cut short or not renewed. Holding reserves will allow the Trustees time to find alternative sources of funding without having to make immediate redundancies. It was agreed that holding 6 months of payroll and 6 months of rent costs would allow enough time for alternative funding to be found or cutbacks in expenditure to be planned and implemented.

This gives a planned reserve of £52,368 based on 6 months of budgeted salary and 6 months of budgeted rent costs (as of September 2025).

The actual reserves held at the end of this financial year were £51,992. This is slightly lower than our target. When the National Lottery Community funding ceased in November 2024, we had to use our surplus reserves along with a small amount of our planned reserves to cover the drop in grant income. We have now secured most of the core cost funding that we need for the next financial year and plan to build the reserves back up to their target level over the next few months.

3.3 Principal Sources of Funding

Grants

This year we had £10,124 of grant funding from The National Lottery Community Fund , carried forward from the final instalment of the five-year continuation funding which ended in November 24. This funded some of the staff costs related to our support groups, one-to-one staff time, and overheads.

The remaining service costs were covered by the following grants:

Herts County Councillors Steve Jarvis and Graham Lawrence from their Locality Budgets. We had £314 of funding carried forward from the previous year which funded one-to-one support for their constituents.

Hertfordshire Community Foundation (HCF) . We had £1,290 carried forward from the previous year and we also received an additional grant of £10,000 in July 2025. In total HCF funded £3,488 of one-to-one costs for this year.

Garfield Weston . We received a £10,000 core cost grant in April 2025 which has funded £4,393 of our costs this year.

Simon Gibson . We received a £10,000 unrestricted grant in June 2025 which funded £9,522 of our costs this year.

Baily Thomas . We received a grant of £5,000 in June 2025 to fund one- to-one support for families with children with Learning Disabilities and also to fund coffee mornings at various Learning Disability and Severe Learning Disability schools to advertise our services to families with children attending them. We spent £988 of the grant this year.

Shanly Foundation . We also received a £2,500 core cost grant in June 25 which will be used to cover costs in the following financial year.

Throughout the year, we received £10,063 from Add-Vance which covered the cost of seconding one of our Specialist Support Practitioners to provide a one-to-one service for referrals from the Neurodiversity hub phone line that they are running. This was a pilot project running this year which has now been replaced by a 3-year contract which started in October 2025.
