Foreword Colin Evans, Chair of Trustees As LinkAble embarks a bold new chapter, Colin looks back on a year to remember. When l introduced last yearfs Annual Repo I described 2023124 as a "pivotal yearf for growth and new beginnings-and 2024125 has certainly delivered on that momentum. It has been heartening to see how our team, volunteers, and supporters have come together to make real progress possible. The achievements of this year demonstrate not only growth but also the depth of care and commitment at the heart of LinkAble. One of the highlights of the year was securing funding for an additional minibus, which has already made a significant difference to our After School Club and wider services by: • improving accessibility • making it easier for CYP to attend • allowing us to support more families • enabling more group days Out Another standout moment was our Paralympic Community Fun Day, a vibrant event that brought together people with a learning disability, autistic people, their families, our supporters, and partner organisations for a day of accessible sports. The event served as a brilliant showcase of what LinkAble stands for- inclusion, friendship, and the opportunity to engage in new and exciting experiences. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the future, confident in our team and supporters, while also recognising that challenges will lie ahead due to a difficult funding landscape and ever-increasing demands on our services. LlnkAble's support hours for children, young people (CVP), and adults have increased by around So % compared to the previous year. It's the most ever delivered! This growth reflects the expansion of our services, including a new After School Club, which supports two SEND schools, and the launch of a Sunday Playscheme in Esher. Across all ages, we have introduced additional sessions, and Adult daytime services now operate four days a week, providing more opportunities for learning, social connection, and new experiences. We have also made steady progress in modernising and integrating our IT systems, upgrading both hardware and software to improve data management and communication across all services. Expected to conclude within the next 12 months, this project will streamline operations, reduce admin, and support effective, joined-up service delivery. In my role as Chair, I contlnue to be inspired by the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters, whose hard work ensures LinkAble remains a thriving, supportive community.

Q&AXK Sue Stockman, LinkAble CEO After the first year in post as LinkAble's CEO, Sue reflects on an exciting year of change. How has the year been for LinkAble7 In a word-busyl We've grown a lot over the past year, and LinkAble feels like a different organisation now. We've welcomed new staff, refreshed our activities, upgraded our digital systems, and streamlined some of the fiddly processes that used to take up so much time. We're now running much more efficiently. This has been a year of strengthening LinkAble's foundations to ensure that our ambitious plans will stand the test of time. What new activities or services has LinkAble introduced this yeart An exciting addition is our new After School Club, running four days a week. We've also expanded to Esher, launching a Sunday Playscheme to reach more families. Evenings and weekends have been buzzing too, with new activities like Food and Friends for teens, Boccia for adults, Mini Mayhem disco parties for children, overnight stays, and our first week-long holiday in years! How will LinkAble enter 2026? With cautious optimism. Like many small charities, we're navigating funding cuts, a challenging fundraising environment, as well as increased demand for our services. We know the road ahead won't be easy. A restructure has introduced new leadership, bringing expanded skills, fresh ideas, and renewed energy. Alongside them, our dedicated services staff continue to show incredible commitment and passion. Looking ahead, a key priority is reducing reliance on statutory funding, We are developing a range of chargeable, subsidised and free services to help us respond flexibly while meeting the needs of our families. It's an excitlng path, on which we'll tread carefully• consulting with our team and attendees to build services that create a lasting impact for our community. We're now a more dynamic charity with a skilled team, solid training programme, and a strong focus on measuring the real impact of our work. How has LinkAble helped families? Parents say that we are the organisation able to support challenging behaviour. I believe this is due to the specialist training we have implemented over the last year. Increasingly, we're being recognised as the provider capable of meeting all needs through our 1-2-1 model of support which ensures every attendee receives focused, consistent care. Do you have a highlight of the yeart Definitely our Paralympics Community Fun Day. It was inclusive, joyful, and had a big impact on the community, all while raising LinkAble's profile. It was such a success that we're planning to make it an annual event! LinkAble WokingAnnwal Report April 2024 to March 2025

LinkAble Paralympics r•is. URREY A new community event for LinkAble. In August 2024, we brought the Paralympics to Woking! Inspired by the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, we held our own version called the LinkAble Paralympics and Community Fun Day. Organised in partnership with Freedom Leisure and supported by a generous £2,500 grant from Sport England, the event brought the local community together to enjoy accessible sports followed by a medal ceremony. Participants of all ages and abilities took part in Boccia, Walking Football, and Accessible Cycling, in friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. A special thanks to Wheels for All for leading the cycling sessions and to our corporate partner The Fidelis Foundation for keeping everyone refreshed with a water station. The event was a brilliant success, drawing over 100 attendees, some of whom experienced accessible sports for the first time. Since then, we've been thrilled to see that several attendees have joined our newly launched Boccia Club, which was inspired by the games.

Over the past year, we continued supporting children on Saturdays and during school holidays with fun, engaging, and accessible artivities. In an exciting step forward for LinkAble, we also launched a brand-new After School Club! Now, four days a week, we collect children from two local SEND schools for afternoons of creative activities, sensory play, and energetic fun-plus a light meal to keep them going until dinner, This new service gives parents a vital break from caring, while children build friendships and grow in confidence outside the classroom. nd carers said their child enjoys Linl(Able play schemes.

We also ran our first weekend away at Surrey Outdoor Learning, helping children develop independence and giving families a proper break-and the rare chance of a night out!

Meet Chester Mum, Alison looks back on the difference that flue years of attending LinkAble has made for her family. My son Chester is 10 and has attended LinkAble since he was 5. He has autism, ADHD, and a rare chromosome condition that causes global developmental delay. At the moment, Chester isn't in school. He used to attend a SEND school, but they struggled to meet his growing needs, particularly as he's been finding it harder to manage his anger as he's getting older. This has been challenging for us as a family and takes a huge amount of time and energy. Chester needs attention from both me and his dad, but we also need to ensure his 13- year-old brother, Frankie, feels supported too This is why LinkAble is so important: it gives us precious time and provides Chester with structure, understanding, and a sense of belonging we've struggled to find elsewhere. 66 LinkAble is the only place where I've never been called to collect Chester early. I cannot overstate how important this isl When I drop him off, I know he'll be there for the full session and that he will have a brilliant time. Those few guaranteed hours give me a chance to get weekly tasks done, spend time with Frankie, or just rest for a moment without worrying. This rest time supports every member of our family. When you have a child with additional needs, it impacts the whole family, but LinkAble gives us balance so that we are a strong and happy unit. 66 I love taking Chester to LinkAble as I can see him light up the moment we arrive. The staff really understand him and know what helps him feel calm, safe, and happy. It's one of the few places where Chester's needs are fully met and he can be himself. 66 LinkAble gives Chester a sense of belonging and a place where he feels valued and included. For us, we have great peace of mind knowing we can trust LinkAble. Before we found LinkAble, there really wasn't anywhere suitable for Chester to go. We don't have help nearby, so getting any kind of break was difficult. At times, we felt exhausted and isolated, but I can honestly say that things feel different now. It would be such a loss for Chester if he couldn't attend. For our family, LinkAble isn't just a service. It's a lifeline. LinkAble WokingAnnualReport April 2024 to March 2025 q1
Next steps Actiultles and experiences for young people aged 12-17 to develop and strengthen practical skills for adulthood. Linkable is, outside of school, our child's social outlet. It is a lifeline for us as it facilitates a break with peace of mind that our child is having fun, gaining skills and being well cared for. Our Next Steps sessions run on Saturday4 weekday evenings, and during school holidays. They support young people to make friends, develop life skills, and gain confidence for independent living. To ensure that everyone can take part, we run two Saturday groups on alternate weeks-one for more independent young people and one for those who need extra support. At our centre and out in the community, young people learn practical skills like: using public transport handling money and paying for things using services like cafés and libraries. They work towards badges which recognise their achievements in areas like fire safety, first aid, and animal care- which are proudly shown to parents at pick up time. This year, we launched 'Food and Friends,, a new evening youth group focused on socialising and sharing a meal together. It complements our much-loved 'ASD Game Night,, where autistic young people can relax, play games, and connect. Together, these evening youth groups offer vital social opportunities for young people who might otherwise feel isolated. Gayle, Mum 80% of parents and carers said their child has increased their confidence through attending Next Steps. 66 LinkAble is extremely Vital for the children and parents, a service much needed!

Meet Jack Mum, Nicky shares how the social opportunities at LinkAble have supported. Jack to thrive. When my son Jack was born, we were told he wouldn't walk, talK or feed himself. Well, how he proved everyone wrong! Jack is a determined young man who continues to amaze us all and l am so grateful for the role LinkAble has played in his life. Jack is 18 years old and has a rare chromosomal disorder called Tetrasomy 18p. This causes global developmental delay meaning that he needs a huge amount of support from me, which greatly impacts our whole family. Because I need to spend more of my time supporting Jack, his younger brother Alfie (15), can feel frustrated, as of course, he needs my support too. For Jack, LinkAble is a place where he knows he belongs. He loves the activities, and he always enjoys himself. The social opportunities for him there are so important. 66 He gets to have a bit of banter, make friends, and just have fun In a way that might not be possible elsewhere. I think people can underestimate how important this is for people with a learning disability- to have a place where you can be accepted for being who you are. 66 Thankfullyi LinkAble has taken some of the pressure off our family. Over the10 years that Jack has been attendin8,1've been able to give Alfie dedicated 1-2-1 time with me. LinkAble has given Jack opportunities to grow, learn, and be part of something special. It's not just about keeping him busy, it's about making sure he feels valued, included, and confidenL As a family, LinkAble gives us a needed break. We can do things that are difficult to do with Jack, like going to the cinema or taking a long dog walk. It gives us freedom while knowing Jack is safe and happy. LinkAbLe has been absolutely incredible for Jack's development. It has really helped him grow in confidence and find his voice. He's become more outspoken and loves being around the staff and other young people. I love knowing he has a community. Honestly, I can't imagine life without LinkAble. It would feel much more restricted-not just for Jack, but for our whole family. 66 LinkAble w0k1ngAnnal Report April 2024 to March 2025 13
No Limits Prouiding diverse opportunities for adults aged 18+ to learn and practise essential life and social skills. It's been a year of steady growth for LinkAble's adult services. In March 2024, the programme expanded with exciting new opportunities for our community. During our holiday schemes, adults enjoyed visits from Birds of Prey, trips to Butser Ancient Farm, and outings to new places like Hayling Island. After a sold-out 2023 Summer Scheme, we expanded the 2024 programme to four days a week, giving more people the chance for meaningful social experiences. loo% parent and carers rated No Limits as'very good, or 'good'. 66 Kate's blossomed in confidence through attending LinkAble.

eam Lin Our dedicated services team, off ice staff, and volunteers work passionately to make LinkAble a warm, welcoming space where euery individual is celebrated and supported to thrive. Q & A with Emily Lake, LinkAble's Senior Adult Services Team Leader Tell us about your time at LinkAble so far. I've worked at LinkAble for 7 years, starting as a Sessional Play Worker, then progressing to Deputy and Group Leader roles. At 18,1 began working with adult groups, later leading a variety of sessions before being promoted to Senior Adult Services Team Leader. It's been a brilliant experience which has given me such a wide range of skillsl What's your favourite part of thejob? Building real, meaningful connections with those we support. Seeing people grow in confidence, try something new, or simply enjoy a happy moment is incredibly rewarding. Every day is different, and every small breakthrough feels worth celebrating. What have you learnt during your time working at LinkAble? I've learnt the true meaning of person- centred support- empowering people with a learning disability to take control of their lives, celebrate their individuality and pursue their own goals. •• Small moments of encouragement, connection, and understanding can have a lasting impact. Independence and confidence look different for everyone, and success means celebrating progress, big or small. Those I support show me the value of creating space for every voice and the power of being present, consistent, and kind. What do you wish more people understood about having a learning disability or autism? Having a learning disability or autism doesn't mean someone isn't capable. Everyone has strengths, abilities, and potential. They may just communicate, learn, or process the world differently. With the right support, patience, and understanding, people with additional needs can thrive. we see it every day. LinkAble Woking Annu•l Report April 2024 to March 2025 18

Our new programme will support them through small group sessions focused on confidence, independent living, digital skills, and steps toward employment, volunteering, or vocational training. These servlces are designed to expand support for families• generate income, and reduce reliance on shrinking local authorlty contracts. They will run alongside existing programmes, helping us support families while building a more resilient, future-ready LinkAble. Sue Stockman.

This included a one-off expendable endowment grant of £135,000; excluding that grant, the underlying increase in income was 39% during 2024-25. Total income increased due to Income from Charitable activities has increased by 52 % to £590,092 (2024:£388,754).

Expenditure Total expenditure increased by 41% during the year to £847,266 (2024:£600,837). This is linked to expansion in service delivery and resulting staff costs. This increase in cost also reflects the increasing level of support required by many of the children and young people attending groups who require 1-1 support. Staff costs have risen by 29Yo to £601,652 (2024: £465,090). This included costs relating to a restructure of the management team to plan for future growth and diversification of services.

Trustee Inductlon and Tralnlng LinkAble has a programme of induction and training for Trustees that is set out in the Trustee Recruitment and Appointment Policy. Risk Management The trustees take seriously their responsibility for ensuring the safe, secure and professional operation of the Charity. With the assistance of the management team, we maintain and regularly review a risk register, which identifies the key risks to which the charity is or could be exposed. The risk register is based on the Charity Commission's template and guidance. The trustees consider that the principal challenges faced by LinkAble 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, 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. link4ble WokingAnnual Iteport April 2024 to March 2025 23

LINKABLE WOKING LIMITED Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 1. ACCOUNTING POUCIES Basis of preparatlon 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 January 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 liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transartion value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. The Trustees consider that there are no significant areas of estimation or judgement. b) Public beneflt entlty 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 2025, LinkAble had net assets of £332,915 and in the year ending 31 March 2025 income exceeded expenditure by £124,718. The Trustees have assessed projected future income streams and expenditure over the period to December 312026. 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 CharItS 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 charit5 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 mel 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. g) Allocation of support costs Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates direttly 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 WOKING LIMITED Notes to the Financial Ststements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 h) Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at original historical cost less aggregate depreciation.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 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. Creditors and provislons Creditors and provisions 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 financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial 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.
