## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Trustees and officers**
The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:
Trustees: D Kirby P Hayes K Kirby A Bailey C Shepherd
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 23rd May 2007 and most recently amended 4th November 2009. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Potential trustees attend three consecutive Board meetings (after first signing a confidentiality agreement), if they are still willing to become Board members at the third meeting, a current Board member proposes they join the Board, a second Board member seconds the proposal and then a vote is taken and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
## _**Induction and training of trustees**_
Trustees are informed of their role and the relevant legislation and given a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Each new trustee is asked to sign a declaration that they have read the conditions that would disqualify a person from standing as a trustee and they affirm that they are not so disqualified. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
## _**Organisational structure**_
The Committee of Management, which comprises all the directors and can have up to fifteen members, manages the business of the charity. The committee meets monthly. To facilitate operations, the charity employs a General Manager to manage day to day operations of the charity. The Manager must attend committee meetings to present regular reports on various aspects of the charity’s activities.

## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_
Risks in the coming year include the impact from the Covid-19 pandemic and adequate funding.
Facing many charities is the uncertainty of the pandemic and impact on delivery. An increased use of remote delivery is providing a way forward however DAS are mindful that this may not be ideal for all service users. The aim therefore is for DAS to build on the successful changes and run a combined remote/ face-to-face service that is safe and required by adults, parents, carers and teaching staff to meet the needs and restrictions of their individual circumstances.
A further concern is the potential change in grant funding available as funders look towards new needs emerging as a consequence of the pandemic on communities, the demand on public funds and the diverting of grant funding accordingly. As this coincides with moving towards the end of our Reaching Communities project planning will be needed to account for this and potential difficulties in replacing this funding. To this end work will be done to plan well ahead and diversify incoming funding routes.
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
Objectives
The charity’s objects are without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race or other opinions.
1. To benefit persons affected by dyslexia by providing education in an effort to improve social inclusion.
2. To promote and encourage research into dyslexia and disseminate the results thereof.
3. To advance education by procuring and providing information to the public concerning dyslexia.
4. To promote such other charitable purposes, as may, from time to time, be determined.

## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_
Coming into this year the charity had a number of ongoing projects along with delivery of core services which were affected by the pandemic. The flexibility and understanding of funders allowed the continuation of most projects with adaptions and other projects and work had to be temporarily put on hold until they were safe to recommence.
## Big Lottery Reaching Communities
DAS moved into the 4th year of this 5 year project promoting understanding and support for dyslexia supporting families, individuals and organisations through the helpline services, individual support and community courses. The reach of this project continued despite the limitations and challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic which meant a significant increase in remote delivery and support measures to replace face-to-face and group work. While this has caused more time to be used on answering helpline queries DAS adapted well upskilling staff on remote delivery as well as adopting the use of on-line platforms. This has opened up new opportunities for some services to be provided remotely increasing flexibility and accessibility for some beneficiaries.
## European Social Fund
Two separate projects continued funded via Staffordshire Community Foundation carrying out dyslexia testing for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and towards testing and support for women, respectively. Building on links made with The Lyme Trust and the unemployment support team beneficiaries have accessed 1:1 input including dyslexia testing which they could not of accessed otherwise. Delivery of both projects have been affected by the pandemic restrictions which will mean a delayed completion date.
## Community Learning Trust Responsiveness Fund (ACL)
Existing courses from this year’s funding round were cancelled, before delivey was moved to a remote format. Once again DAS received excellent feedback from attendees and the funder’s observer. Four courses, 2 literacy and 2 numeracy were delivered to a total of 41 adults, parents, carers and education staff. With 40 of those individuals completing their course. We now intend to retain the remote delivery option to enhance the training service offer, allowing a more flexible approach to engaging with learners e.g. arranging ‘one-off’ remote sessions for those who miss a lesson.
## Coalfield Regeneration Trust
This project aimed at improved wellbeing for women adapted to remote delivery and increased the individual support element due to pandemic restrictions affecting interaction with outside organisations. A combination of courses, 1:1 support and dyslexia testing continues with estimated completion in June 2021.
## Keele Intern Programme
DAS once again took part in the intern programme organised by Keele University. Kirsty and Ilka finalised their time with us with the creation of animated info videos for our social media and the production of the first edition of our digital dyslexia newsletter. Later in the year we welcomed Alicia and Laura who are assisting our community tutor work producing information and resources for children and schools. The programme is mutually beneficial providing experience for students in a third sector professional workplace as well as supporting the charity.
## Covid Impact Funding
Several grants were accessed to support the impact on the charity of Covid-19. Groundworks and Staffordshire Community Foundation early in the year helped towards immediate safety measures and remote working needs. While the Coalfield Regeneration Trust provided larger capital funding to update office/tuition/testing facilities replacing larger items in line with increased covid safety measures. Supported by a substantial amount of volunteer hours to make these changes, this will enable safer working and the recommencement of face-to-face services when able. Funders providing support in such a timely manner was very much appreciated.

## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
## Co-op Community Charity
DAS were pleased to be accepted in the Autumn as one of Co-op’s community charities for the next 12 months. Any funding raised through this will help towards the charity’s work with children and schools.
## Transformation and Growth Project
December saw the completion of this project exploring the charity’s accessibility for specific vulnerable groups. During the 2 years a better understanding of service users’ vulnerability to homelessness and DAS’s role in support was established. Networks were strengthened between DAS and other services and the project exceeded initial aims by securing additional funding with which individuals received dyslexia testing in particular referred through homelessness charities and benefits services.
## Other donations and support
We were pleased to receive donations or support in kind throughout the year from individuals, organisations and businesses for which we are grateful. Funding was also raised through membership of The Lyme Lottery, Potto Lotto, Easy Fundraising and Ebay sales.
## **Achievements and performance**
- 4 courses delivered (2 literacy and 2 numeracy) via remote delivery, 40 learners.
• All staff trained in use of at least one platform for remote delivery to allow continuation of core services from home.
• Core services were affected due to national lockdown, however they were also enhanced e.g. we were able to offer Zoom advice sessions to parents, carers and teaching staff.
• Teaching staff were encourage to contact us to support them in teaching children with SEND remotely e.g. how to differentiate learning outcomes and materials for these learners.
## The main objectives for fundraising over the year were to:
• Maintain the charity’s secure financial position, core staff roles and facilities for the benefit of beneficiaries.
• To fund and/or subsides services through grant funding and surplus generating activities.
• To secure funding for identified project work including: adult dyslexia testing as an outcome from the TAG project; support for delivery of community courses; match funding commitment to Reaching Communities.
• Funding in response to the pandemic and impact on the charity.
All of the main funding objectives were achieved although income generating activities were impacted as consequences of the pandemic and restrictions which were out of the charity’s control.

## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
## _**Public benefit**_
Dylexia Assoociation of Staffordshire (DAS) provides information and advice for Staffordshire and the surrounding areas, while diagnostic testing and tuition tend to be more focused on Stoke and the surrounding North Staffordshire area due to the size of Staffordshire as a county. There are many opportunities to take our services out into the community and also sign post to other service providers throughout the county.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## **Financial review**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
Our policy is to hold the equivalent of 3 months running costs (£22,305) in free reserves in anticipation of an emergency or in the event of having to wind down the charity. The level of free reserves at the year end is £48,932 (2020 £38,973).
## _**Principal funding sources**_
The charity’s principle source of funding is from grants of which the Big Lottery Reaching Communities currently contributes a large majority of this. The aim continues towards diversifying funding streams.
## _**Use of volunteers**_
Volunteers make a valuable contribution to the running of DAS. Over the last year this has seen new volunteers in former student interns staying with us; volunteers helping with our arts projects, communication and resources development; supporting fundraising; and practical support in the refurbishment of our office/tutoring spaces. As always our Board members have contributed throughout the year in the strategic running of the charity and many other ways of support as needed.
## Other Staff
The year has seen unprecedented circumstances which called upon a great deal of change, flexibility and adapting to new ways of working for staff and volunteers. This included having to work from home in some cases and periods of time where roles could not be carried out at all. They had to quickly become competent in new skills, such as online/remote working and delivery. We thank staff and volunteers for their support, commitment and understanding during one of the most challenging periods in this charity’s history.

The notes on pages 10 to 20 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9
## **Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **1 Charity status**
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 10
## **Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Items of a capital nature with a value of less than £100 are not capitalised.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
## **Asset class**
Computer equipment
**Depreciation method and rate** 25% reducing balance
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or 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 charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 11
## **Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **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.
## **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.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
