Foreword
Colin Evans, Chair of Trustees
The past year has seen significant
changes for LinkAble, marking a
major milestone in our journey.
Looking back in a few years. I hope
we'll see it as a pivotal time of
growth and new beginnings.
Behind the scenes, we're working on upgrading
our IT systems and streamlining administrative
processes to improve efficiency-we have a
grant to kick-start this important project.
In the last quarter of 20231211,
our hours have increased by:
• 300h for under-18 services
• 110% for over-18 services
Midway through the year, we
said goodbye to long-seruing
CEO Alison Keeley and we
welcomed Sue Stockman as
LinkAble's new CEO.
The expansion of Saturday sessions, the
Sunday'stay and Play, programme, and new
adult weekday services, combined with strong
Marketing and Communications, has driven this
impressive growth.
We're confident we can sustain and build on
thi5 in the coming year by broadening children
and young people weekend sessions and
introducing afterschool clubs.
Our vision for adults focuses on creating
pathways to independent living and greater
community involvement through projects and
employment opportunities.
In my three years as a Trustee, I've watched
LinkAble navigate many challenge5 and emerge
stronger each time.
By adding trustees with legal and charity
management expertise, we strengthened our
board, enhancing our ability to provide both
strategic guidance and hands-on support to
the management team as needed.
The trustees saw this leadership change and
new expertise as an opportunity to
reinvigorate LinkAble.
Together we haue:
• Revised our Uision, Mission. and Values
Updated our 3-year Strategic Plan
Aligned operations with future goals
l am constantly inspired by
the passion and dedication of
our stsff who make LinkAble
the thriving and supportive
community it is today.
Our primary objective is to expand LinkAble's
services, offering more support hours for
families in Woking and the surrounding area.
This growth means securing additional
funding and increasing our capacity.

Q&A
Sue Stockman, LinkAble CEO
In October 2023, Sue Stockman
joined as our new CEO.
With fresh ideas and extensive
experience, Sue is leading
LinkAble to a successful future.
How has the year been for LinkAble:
The key word this year has been change!
With a strong focu5 on enhancing our impa¢
we've upgraded our building, expanded our
team and resources, and strengthened
connections with Surrey's health and social
care networks. These improvements ensure
we can better support to those we serve.
How has LinkAble supported families?
We offer parents and carers a much
needed break, helping them focus
on themselves or other children,
keeping families togethers, and
enabling them to stay in work.
The management team is
ambitious and dedicated,
embracing change, finding
creative solutions to challenges.
and positively communicating
with the wider teams to embed
our new ways of working.
What is LinkAble's impart this yea
The impart on the children and young people
attending our sessions is huge; they become
more independent, confidenL and happy while
developing friendships and learning new skills.
Our adults gain skills for greater independence,
enabling them to make choices about their
social lives, living arrangements, and activities.
How will LinkAble enter 2024?
In January 24, we drew on our collective
experience of LinkAble and considered new
ideas in line with learning disability best
practice, to develop a new Vision, Mission and
Values along with a three-year Strategic Plan.
How has LinkAble supported people with
a learning disability and autistic people?
Our weekend, evening, and holiday
playschemes have offered fun opportunities for
children and young people to make friends and
learn new skills. We've added new confidence
building off-site activities like climbing,
abseiling, and kayaking at Surrey Outdoor
Learning Centre.
For adults, we've expanded weekday services
offering sessions focused on fitness, wellbeing,
and hobbies. We've also increased support for
those with complex needs by providing more
1-2-1 support.
The team tell us that having a
more planned approach with
clear targets. budgets and
progress reviews makes it
easier to see the impact of
their contribution.

Meet Charlotte
Lucy. Mum to Charlotte. talks
about how LinkAble impacts
her whole family.
My daughter Charlotte is 8 and is diagnosed
with Tetrasomy Isochromosome 18p, a very
rare chromosomal disorder. She has Global
Development Delay and a mind age of around
3 years old. Charlotte has a brother named
JacK who is 11 and transitioning from primary
to secondary school.
66
Thankfully, because of LinkAble, Jack has a
brilliant relationship with Charlotte, which is
everything I could have hoped for. I can
confidently say that LinkAble's support has
been a major contributing factor.
When Charlotte attends LinkAble's Saturday
activities, it gives me quality time to spend
with Jack. We enjoy activities like bike rides
and board games which aren't possible with
Charlotte due to her support needs.
I can't imagine what life would
be like for my family without
support from LinkAble.
I can't fully express the impact LinkAble has on
our family. Jack truly benefits from the support
just as much as Charlotte does. When we
found out about Charlotte's diagnosis, my first
worry was the impact on Jack.
66
How would it affect his wellbeing if I had to
dedicate so much time to Charlotte? What
would his relationship with his sister be like?
This time is incredibly
important for both Jack and l.
It has resulted in a happy and
fulfilled child, who loues
spending time with his sister.
è-
LinkAble provides a reliable service, which is
vital when you have a child with additional
needs. Because of LinkAble's reliability, Jack
knows that if Charlotte is going to LinkAble, he
is guaranteed some one-on-one time.
When you book with LinkAblei you know it's
going to happen.

One of our key improvements has been offering
separate sessions for autistic children and
children with complex need& These are smaller
groups which create a calmer environment,
focusing on sensory needs, behavioural needs,
and communication.
We provide 1.1 or 2.1 support during these
sessions, ensuring that every child can fully
engage with our activities.
Our free Stay and Play sessions have been a
huge succes& They are available to both
LinkAble families and those on our waiting
list. For many families on the lisl this is a
good opportunity to access our service
These sessions are not just about play, they
provide valuable family time and an
opportunity for parents and carers to connect
with others who share similar experiences.
We've received fantastic feedback on how
meaningful this time is for everyone involved.

Next steps
Supporting young people (12 - 18)
on the journey to adulthood.
We know that young people with a learning
disability and autistic young people often
miss out on the specialised support they
need when attending mainstream service&
In April 2023, we launched 'Link Up Saturday,,
to support young people who need extra
guidance as they enter adulthood.
These sessions develop life skills including:
Independent living skills, such as travelling,
cooking and managing tasks
Skills for employment and education,
ensuring access to the right opportunities
Building community connections, fostering
friendships and a sense of belonging
Making healthy choices, from exercise and
diet to accessing adult health services

Q and A with Rachel Anderson, LinkAble's new Adult Services Manager
Why did you decide to apply for the Adult Services Manager role?
LinkAble is a huge part of my life and feels like home. When the role was
advertised, l jumped at the chance to continue my journey at LinkAble and
to breathe new life into our adult services.
What do you like most about the role?
The people! I love welcoming new adults and families to LinkAble. It's also
amazing to see families transition from children's services to adult
services where they put the skills they have learnt into practice.

Adult services have really grown this year! We're now running four
weekdays. three evening groups, a drama group. and Mayhem.

Meet Tom
Jan, Mum to Tom shares how
LinkAble supports Tom's health
and social wellbeing.
My son Tom is 52 years old and joined
LinkAble in January 2024. He has a learning
disability and cerebellar ataxia, a condition
which affects his coordination and balance.
This requires Tom to have someone on hand
when he is walkingi particularly on rough or
uneven ground.
Before joining LinkAble, Tom's physical health
was in decline. His previous day centre had
closed six months earlier, and without
structured activities, his mobility and overall
well-being had noticeably deteriorated.
This was a concerning time for me as Tom's
wellbeing is reliant on this structure and
without it, he was feeling lost.
Participating in LinkAble's artivities has
greatly enhanced his mobility, he's also
learned about making better food choices and
is now a healthier weighL
Tom's neurologist has highlighted the
importance of regular physical and mental
stimulation to slow the progression of his
condition. and LinkAble has been instrumental
in providing this essential support.
Tom attends LinkAble's 'Fitness for All,,
'Wellbeing Wednesday,, and 'Hobby Club,
groups. These offer a range of activities that
promote physical and mental health.
••
66
Since joining LinkAble, I have
seen significant improvements
in Tom's health and wellbeing.
Tom has gained a newfound
confidence, a sense of
accomplishmenl and a more
positive outlook.
Thanks to LinkAble's support, Tom has become
healthier and happier. The groups have
significantly improved his quality of life and
helped him better manage his condition.
He has become more independen( which is not
only fantastic for him but also gives me great
peace of mind.

Fundraising
Our work would not be possible
without the generous support
of our donors and sponsors.
We are incredibly thankful to the Charitable
Trusts, Community Groups, donors, event
attendees, and challenge participants who have
helped fund our services this year.
In particuLar, we would like to thank the
Community Foundation for Surrey, The National
Lottery Community Fund's Awards for All
programme, our corporate partner The Fidelis
Foundation, and Ottershaw Night Owls Wl for
their generous support over the past two years.
Corpora
e suppo
Our partnership with The Fidelis
Foundation, which began in April 2023,
has made a huge impact on LinkAble's
service delivery.
Thanks to a generous £20,000 grant from The
Fidelis Foundation, we've been able to enhance
our digital infrastructure and expand our service
offerings, including the launch of our popular
'Fitness for All, daytime group. Investing in our IT
systems has helped streamline operations
including creating a custom app to manage our
many bookings.
We've also used the funding to upgrade our
physical spaces, such as the kitchen, café, and
outdoor areas including a new 'adults-only'
outdoor space where participants can grow
vegetables to use in our cooking sessions.
Looking forward, our partnership is set for
exciting growth. In 2024, we plan to host a
Paralympics event to celebrate the 2024
Paralympic Games. With The Fidelis Foundation's
support, this event will help us reach new
audiences and bring inclusive sports to Woking.
We are so grateful for this partnership which is
making a lasting difference for the people who
depend on our services.
Ottershaw Night Owls Women's Institute Wl has
been a remarkable supporter of LinkAble,
choosing us as their charity of the year for two
consecutive years. During this time, the Wl has
offered tremendous help in both fundraising and
hands-on support.
A highlight of their efforts includes £2,000 which
was doubled through LinkAble's Big Give
Christmas appeal 2023, as well as a series of
raffles at Christmas events and a Fundraising
Fashion Show, raising thousands to support the
delivery of our services.
Beyond fundraising, the Wl has also rolled up
their sleeves, transforming our outdoor space so
that it's ready for fun summer activities.
LinkAble is thankful for this ongoing suppo¢
which greatly helps our service delivery.

The Future
Looking ahead to 20211-2025,
we have exciting plans to
expand and offer new services.
We're exploring the possibility of
launching an afterschool club for children,
an alternative education project for young
people not attending schooL and a new
employment support initiative to help
adults move into paid work or
volunteering.
We also aim to grow beyond Woking,
reaching into Elmbridge, Runnymede, and
Spelthorne. This will allow us to connect
with new families while freeing up space
in Woking to reduce the waiting list.
None of this would be possible without
our amazing group leaders, sessional
workers, and playworkers - we're so
grateful for their hard work and
dedication.
To 5UPPOrt them, we're planning a new
training programme including eLearning
and face-to-face sessions, helping our
staff build the skills and confidence they
need to continue delivering safe,
enjoyable, and effective services.
66
Our reputation for offering a diverse range
of services for people with a learning
disability and autistic people is steadily
growing, and we're proud to be recognised as
a key provider serving the local community.

£406, consisting of £17,671 unrestricted surplus and (£18,077) restricted deficit.
Income
Total income increased by 16% during the year to £600,431 (£519,413). During 2023-24,
LinkAble groups were finally able to return to service provision in line with pre covid levels,
with increased attendance at groups and greater choice of activities throughout the year.
I ncome from Charitable activities has increased by 29% to £388,754 (£301,661).
Expenditure
Total expenditure increased by 12% during the year to £600,837 (£534,734). As LinkAble has
been able to operate normal service provision throughout the year. costs of running groups
have increased accordingly. This increase in cost also reflects the increasing level of
support required by many of the children and young people attending groups. Staff costs
have risen by 10% to £465,090 (£442,560) which reflects the increase in minimum wage as
well as changes to the structure of the management team enabling future growth.
Reserves
Reserves are held to ensure the continuity of service provision as well as enabling LinkAble
to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.on 31st March 2024, LinkAble's reserves
were £208,197 (£208,603) of which £182,697 (£165,026) was unrestricted. Of th is, £15,431 has
been designated to the Fixed Asset Reserve.
LinkAble's resenjes policy is to maintain free resenjes of between 3 to 6 months operating
costs to allow for short term fluctuations in cash requirements. The current level of free
reserves is £167,266 which represents approximately 3 months operating costs and is at the
required Level set by the policy.
The trustees review the reserves policy annually to ensure it is set at the appropriate level.

and the associated risks are the need to:
Continue to support adults and children with learning disabilities
Operate within set budgets
Generate sufficient income to support the cost of service delivery thus minimising the cost to service users
Return to pre Covid 19 seplice delivery levels and beyond
LinkAble has established measures to control and mitigate the likelihood and impact of risks identified in the
risk register which is regularly reviewed by committees and the Board. Operational risks are managed through
appropriate policies and training, and form part of a regular report to the Trustees from the CEO. Financial risk
is managed through policies, budgeting. and reporting; in addition. the financial risks and implications of any
proposal are carefully reviewed before a decision is reached.
Although supported by the CEO and the Risk and Governance committee, final responsibility for the
management of risk rests with the Trustee Board.

LINKABLE WOKING LIMITED
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Vear Ended 31 March 20211
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
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) (effective 1 lanuary
2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102). the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabi lities are in itially recogn ised at historical cost or transaction value u n less otherwise stated
in the relevant accounting policy or note. The Trustees consider that there are no significant areas of
estimation or judgement.
b) Public benefit entity
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
c) Going concern
At the balance sheet date of 31 March 2024, LinkAble made a deficit of £406 and had net assets of £208,197. The
Trustees have assessed projected future income streams and expenditure over the period to December 31
2025. This has included consideration of anticipated service delivery, possible changes to local authority
funding and challenges faced in securing fundraising income. The Trustees have considered plans along with
internal processes and systems for managing financial and operational risks. The Trustees have concluded
that the strength of the charity's reserves and liquidity of its assets, mean the charity has adequate resources
to continue their activities for the foreseeable future, and that there are no material uncertainties about the
charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
d) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to
the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be
measured reliably. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the
criteria for income recognition are met.
e> Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor within the objectives of the
charity. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. Unrestricted funds are donations and
other income received or generated for the charitable purposes
Expenditure
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.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of undertaken to further the purposes of the charity
and their associated support costs.
Allocation of support costs
Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the
cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the
central function. is apportioned on a basis consistent with the use of relevant resources.
LinkAble Annual Report April 2023 to March 2024

Reference and Administrative Details
h) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at original historical cost less aggregate depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates
calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each a55et on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life at the following rates
Plant and machinery - 5 years
Fixtures and fittings
5 years
Computer equipment- 3 years
Motorvehicles-
5 years
i) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. Cash balances exclude
any funds held on behalf of service users.
k) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provision5 are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event
that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation
can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement
amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The charity only has fi nancial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic fi nancial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
t) Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of
Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
