CHAIRPERSONS REPORT
For the year ended 31 August 2020
**----- End of picture text -----**
This year has proved to be one of the most challenging in the history of Rainbow Hub. Like many other charities, we have had to adapt the way we deliver our services to comply with Government guidelines surrounding Covid-19 whilst ensuring that we continue to meet the needs of the children and families we support. As the pandemic took hold, March saw Rainbow Hub having to close the site and think creatively about how to provide ongoing services. We became one the first cenires to offer virtual Conductive Education sessions. At that time we also said goodbye to our Chief Executive, Corole Cochrane CBE and welcomed our Head of Fundraising, Lyndsay Fahey, into the Interim Chief Executive role. We are extremely grateful to Carole for her commitment and dedication to Rainbow Hub and we wish her well in her retirement. Since the start of the pandemic we have focussed on getting through this challenging period as safely and effectively as possible. It soon became clear that our families needed us more than ever. Many of their other avenues of support and therapy were stopped over night and we becamea lifeline for them during the lockdown period. With thanks to emergency funding from trusts including The National Lottery Community Fund, The Steve Morgan Foundation, the Lancashire and Merseyside Community Foundation, John Laing Group and INEOS Enterprises and with the support of our major donors we were able to continue offering vital therapy to disabled children from across the North West throughout the year. Despite the challenges brought by Covid-19 we have still made a huge impact on the lives of the children and families we support. That would not have been possible without the incredible support we have received from our funders, the community, our staff and our amazing volunteers. We would like to thank all those who helped Rainbow Hub through 2019/20 as we look forward to the future and the re-opening of the site in September 2020. ## Pauline Clare CBE Page | **----- Start of picture text -----**

for the year ended 31 August 2020
**----- End of picture text -----**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, presant their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Stendard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102} teffective 1 January 2019). The charitable company passed a special resolutian on 21 August 2019 changing its name from The Legacy Rainbow House to Rainbow Hub NW Ltd. The Charity works to the shortened name of Rainbow Hub. Rainbow Hub is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee employing 14 staff {a mixture of full and part time staff] and supporting over 85 families. Rainbow Hub was established in direct response to the needs of parents of disabled children. The service has grown in boih scope and scale offering an increasing range of services to increased numbers of children and young people. ## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ## Objectives To achieve the education and relieve the suffering of people (mainly children) with physical disabilities and life reducing conditions and to provide information, advice and guidance for their families ond carers in particular by means of education, conductive education, rehabilitation and the provision of participation in sport and other recreation’. ## Public benefit statement Rainbow Hub works for the public benefit through its work delivering a range of education, enablement and support services to disabled children and young people and their families. The Trustees have complied with their duty to note and pay due regard to public benefit guidance published by The Charity Commission. The Trustees are commitied fo ensuring the Charity remains responsive fo, and respeciful of, the diverse needs of those with disabilities and their families and the local community, enabling families to pursue ordinary lives and to see their disabled family member achieve their full potential. Page 2 ## STRATEGIC REPORT ## Achievement and performance ## Charitable activities This year has been a challenging time for Rainbow Hub. As a charity providing hands on therapies to children with neurological conditions, many of whom are extremely vulnerable to serious illness if they were to contract Covid-19, we have had difficult decisions to make, balancing the safety of our beneficiaries with their need for our services. Between September 2019 and March 2020 we were delivering Conductive Education, physiotherapy, Rebound Therapy and family support to over 90 children each week. In November 2019 we launched our new name and brand in front of 200 guests at our much anticipated annual ball and we were looking forward to our next phase of development. In March 2020, as the country began to realise the severity of the situation, the Board of Trustees made the difficult but necessary decision to suspend all onsite services. It was also necessary to furlough the majority of our employees in order to protect the future and financial stability of Rainbow Hub. However, it quickly became apparent that our services were desperately needed as families told us of their desperation. Statutory and respite support had stopped overnight and disabled children were unable to access the physical therapies so vital to their progression. We quickly became one of the first organisations to offer virtual Conductive Education sessions. We adapted our way of working so as well as virtual therapy sessions we were also able to provide home learning programmes, video, telephone calls and email support for families. We are extremely proud of our staff team who have worked tirelessly through a very difficult year. Despite the challenges we can celebrate a number of achievements, perhaps the greatest of which is continuing to be there for our beneficiaries when they needed us the most. ## Our Performance ## From September 2019 to March 2020 we provided: . 4000 hours of Conductive Education ta over 94 children . 100 hours of one te one physio to 15 children ® 200 hours af one to one parent support ° 50 hours of Rebound Therapy to 30 children ‘ A Dad's Day Out to Preston North End FCO , Enabled 20 families to enjoy a trip to Gulliver's World, Warrington e Hasted a family Christmas party enjoyed by over 50 families , Supported 10 families at the Kidz to Adultz North event ° Helped 12 families to successfully complete forms and be awarded Disability Living Allowance From April 2020 io August 2020 we provided: ’ 440 hours of virtual Conductive Eclucation to over 40 children ° 20 hours of virtual communication group sessions to over 15 children ° Video, telephone and email support to 50 shielding families * Provided 30 hours of access to our sensory room and active movement room to allow individual house olds time away from home in a safe environment ‘ 8 children learned to push up from e sitting position into standing and hald this position {whilst holding the bars and with close supervision} ° 5 children learned how fo push into the 4 point kneeling pasition and hold this for seconds and in some cases minutes . 1 child learned to transfer from a seat to their wheelchair and from the floor to a bench d 18 children learned to walk with aids {ladders and bars) . 10 children have been able to indicate they want something specific Page 3 ## STRATEGIC REPORT In addition to these bigger achievements there have also been many smaller achievements which are just as important and significant for the children involved:- . 8 children have been able to bring their hands to midline . 8 children have been able to bring their arms up/down ° 10 children have been able to engage with toys ° 3 children are able to step without crossing their legs- thus giving them a more natural gait **----- Start of picture text -----**

These are no small victories. ## FINANCIAL REVIEW ## Financial position Rainbow Hub has had a successful year after receiving substantial Covid-19 emergency funding from several donors including The National Lottery Community Foundation, Community Foundation for Lancashire and Merseyside and the Steve Morgan Foundation. The value of these donations is set out in note 2. We are also fortunate to have the support of several major donors who have continued to support Rainbow Hub throughout the pandemic. This provides a sound start to 20/21, a year in which we anticipate raising funds will prove difficult. The cash balances as at 31st August 2020 were £327,572 (2019: £112,902) and the closing net assets were £1,028,842 (2019: £781,896). Page 4 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Reserves policy It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, adjusted for the property value less the associated borrowings, at a minimum level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs and to respond to emergency applications for grants, which arise from time to time, At present free reserves are at target level, The Trustees review this policy on an annual basis.

STRATEGIC REPORT
**----- End of picture text -----**
## Principal risks and uncertainties The Trustees of Rainbow Hub ensure there is an up to date Risk Register covering principle risks and uncertainties facing the Charity. The Risk Register focuses on the key areas of Finance; Funding; Management; Govemance; Compliance; Services; Health and Safety and Safeguarding. Trustees guide the strategic direction of the Charity by following an agreed Business Plan. Responsibility for delivering the Business Plan is delegated to the Charity Chief Executive and the staff team, who ensure robust plans are in place and followed for key areas of the organisation. Trustees meet quarterly and review Key Performance Indicators. They sign off an annual financial budget and review progress against it through detailed management accounts. Rainbow Hub has strong policies and procedures covering all functions. We follow strict Limits of Authority procedures regarding finance service delivery and fundraising. Two authorised officials are required to sign off decisions or financial transactions at significant levels or outside of the budget. A Business Management Plan and adequate levels of insurance are in place to reduce the risk of service delivery, reputational, building, IT or HR issues. Both internal and external training is provided fo all staff and volunteers fo a level appropriate for their roles and responsibilities and all Trustees, staff and volunteers undertake Safeguarding Level 2 training. ## Future plans We are preparing for a change in leadership. The Chair of the Board, Pauline Clare CBE DL, retires in December 2020 after successfully leading the organisation for five years and following the retirement of our former CEO, Carole Cochrane CBE in March 2020. This focus of this year has very much been raising funds and continuing services throughout the pandemic. Trustees, together with the CEO, will review the Business Plan and create a strategic approach for the next three years which will include: ° Reaching more families ° Developing a more diverse referral pathway ° Implementing an efficient outcome measurement tool . Expanding our Conductive Education service , Expanding our physiotherapy service ° Expanding our Rebound Therapy service ° Developing our outdoor area by updating our sensory area and creating a memory garden ° Working with the Conductive Education Consortium to increase awareness of Conductive Education and its benefits We are very much aware that the Charity has a difficult year ahead. Our focus for the next year must be on securing sufficient funds and meeting the needs of our beneficiaries whilst minimising risk. Page 6 STRATEGIC REPORT ## Our approach to fundraising We were fortunate enough to benefit from emergency funding made available as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic however we anticipate a reduction in income from many funding streams over the coming 12 months. In view of this our budget for 20/21 accounts for a substantial reduction in funds generated from community and corporate fundraising. We are also unable to host our annual events as we have in previous years. We will be hosting alternative virtual events but our budget reflects a reduction in income. ## implementation of Services The vulnerability of our beneficiaries and the legislation around Covid-19 has resulted in our services being delivered in a very different way than usual. To minimise risk to families, volunteers and staff we will continue to run smaller group sessions, ensure staff wear adequate PPE, limit visitors to Rainbow Hub and practice social distancing, hand washing and good respiratory hygiene. We are hoping for a future where these measures are no longer necessary and we can once again focus on the growth and development of Rainbow Hub. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auciitors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. ## Conclusions relating to going concern - We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: - . the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or - ° the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adapt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of ai least twelve months from ihe date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. ## Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. ## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: - ° the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and - . the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. ## Page 11 |.eee-- «| **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Matters on which we ore required fo report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matiers where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ° adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - . certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or * we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ## Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. ## Our rasponsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonabie assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK} will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregote, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fre.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. ## Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## Neil McMillan FCA (Senior Statutory Auditor} for and on behalf of McMillan & Co LLP Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditor 28 Eaton Avenue Matrix Office Park Buckshaw Village Chorley PR7 7NA Page 12 ## ee STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES for the year ended 31 August 2020 |||||2020|2019| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||Unrestricted|Restricted|Total|Total| |||funds|funds|funds|funds| ||Notes|€|€|£|£| |INCOME AND ENDOWMENTS FROM|||||| |Donations|Zz|502,437|199,783|702,220|429,347| |Charitable activities|5||||| |Charitable activities||300|2|300|22,154| |Events|3|109,587|=|109,587|122,569| |Investment Income|4|267|-|267|18| |Total||612,591|199,783|812,374|574,085| |EXPENDITURE ON|||||| |Ralsing funds|6|150,166|:|150,166|184,799| |Charitable activities|Z||||| |Charitable activities||174,755|194,183|368,938|376,395| |Depreciation||34,649|-|34,649|35,958| |Other||1]p74|*|11,674|-| |Total||371,244|194,183|565,427|597,152| |NETINCOME/{EXPENDITURE)||241,347|5,600|246,947|(23,067)| |RECONCILIATIONOF FUNDS|||||| |Total funds broughtforward||781,896|<|781,896|804,963| |TOTAL FUNDS CARRIED FORWARD|1,023,243

ACCOUNTING POLICIES ## Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to chorities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 Jonuary 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Rainbow Hub NW Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recorded at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The presentational currency of the charity is pound sterling (£) and the amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## Going concarn The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis on the Trustees' assumption that the Charity will continue to meet ifs obligations as they fall due. This depends on the Charity's ability to raise sufficient finance to fund its unrestricted operations. Due to the nature of the Charity's income, much of which is received from public donations, it is difficult to forecast a large proportion of the income with any degree of certainty. Current cash flow forecasts, prepared by the Trustees indicate that the Charity has operational funds for the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Trustees have taken steps to increase income, and reduce expenditure and are therefore confident that sufficient funds will be raised fo enable the Charity to continue as a going concern. ## Income All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and ihe amount can be measured reliably. Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in ihe financial statements for services donated by volunteers. ## Expenditure Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is classified under headings of the Statement of Financial Activities to which it relates: - Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events and non-charitable trading activities, - ° Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities, - ° Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. ## Company siatus The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The directors of the company are the trustees named on page 1. in the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per director of the charity.
