## **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 2022.
## **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 year ahead include the reduction in trust funding applicable to the Charity’s aims and objectives mainly as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and a shift by some funders in their priorities. As this coincides later in the year with the end of the Reaching Communities grant in September 2022 to mitigate risks to the Charity multi-year funding will be sought including reapplying to current funders. In addition shorter term funding and increased diversification and fostering of other funding routes will continue. At this point Charity finances remain in a healthy position and demand for services have increased as covid restrictions were lifted.
## **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.

## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_
Projects and activities were once again impacted by the pandemic. Significant progress was made on remote delivery of courses and remote support during the year. Staff being able to work from home freed up the rooms at the charity for more face to face capacity with the public which saw an immediate demand upon these service areas on the lifting of pandemic restrictions.
## Big Lottery Reaching Communities
DAS moved into the 5th and final year of the current project delivering support for families, individuals and organisations around dyslexia through the charity helpline, community courses, individual support and networking. Remote delivery as well as face to face work when permitted continued, and the project deal with a significant number of individuals as the year progressed. The impact of the pandemic on individual circumstances around employment and education increased demand and demonstrated the continued importance of the work being carried out for those affected by dyslexia.
## European Social Fund
Covid restrictions and the ability to be able to link with particular cohorts continued to affect completion of these project as planned, DAS have had to adjust its targets accordingly.
## Community Learning Trust Responsiveness fund (ACL)
Tutors adapted courses to deliver remotely and completed 5 Literacy and 7 Numeracy courses. A total of 72 learners enrolled with 70 completing the courses. As usual DAS tutors received excellent feedback from learners and from funders, with observation ratings from good to outstanding. Once again courses delivered by DAS were very popular with parents and others in supporting roles with on-line delivery and individual catch-up sessions when required working well.
## Coalfield Regeneration Trust (Women’s Wellbeing Project)
This project addressing the wellbeing aspects of dyslexia through access to testing, 1:1 support and learning was completed in May of 2021. Over 30 women were supported the majority of which reported improvements in stress levels and worry around their dyslexia through the help provided.
## Keele Intern Programme
Laura and Alicia students at Keele University completed their placements with DAS assisting our Community Tutors in developing resources and course materials. The programme is mutually beneficial and most placements choose to remain as volunteers upon completion of their internship.
## Co-op Local Community Fund
DAS were accepted as one of the local good causes for the second year connecting with nearby Co-op food stores, promoting the work of DAS and using funds raised to provide courses and support in these areas.
## BDA Local Dyslexia Association
DAS were granted two funding pots during the year from the British Dyslexia Association. This allowed DAS to produce a calendar with the help of volunteer artists promoting DAS to local organisations, schools and businesses. In addition DAS produced a picture based booklet with the help of a local dyslexia artist specifically for those 10 years and under as a simple introduction to dyslexia. The booklet has been made available to local libraries, schools and those having testing with ourselves.
## Dig-It Tamworth
We were sorry to be notified of the closure of Dig-It dyslexia information group in Tamworth this year. DAS had the pleasure of collaborating with the group a number of times and gratefully received £2000 of remaining funds to go towards the continuation of support for dyslexic individuals in that area of the county. We thank all former volunteers for their hard work and especially Rob Morgan and Julie Cappleman-Morgan who supported the organisation all way through.

## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
## VAST Community Health Champions Programme
In July 2021 DAS were accepted on the CHC programme enrolling 4 staff to complete training through on-line workshops and promoting physical and mental health messaging to support charity beneficiaries and access to beneficial services .
## Jubilee Arts Project
In February 2021 DAS received funding through the Community Foundation of Staffordshire to deliver an arts project for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This will mainly take place in June2022 and will involve collaborating with local artists promoting inclusion and art as a career option for dyslexic individuals.
## Other donations and support
As always we are grateful for donations, support and promotion of the charity received from individuals, organisations and businesses. Funds were also raised through Lyme Lottery, Potto Lotto, Ebay sales and Easyfundraising.
## **Achievements and performance**
7 dyscalculia and 4 literacy courses delivered Over 1100 information, advice and guidance interactions Over 100 full diagnostic assessments carried out and almost 30 screenings
9 Staffordshire Police Dyslexia Awareness sessions
Access to courses were supported by the use of on-line platforms and IAG through increased use of telephone and email support.
DAS continued to offer support to schools during the pandemic.
DAS were able to respond to an increase in demand for some core services as pandemic restrictions lifted.
1 new trainee specialist teacher appointed
To support the development of DAS staff and volunteers took part in a several planning activities throughout the year engaging with those outside the organisation and identifying key ideas and needs for beneficiaries and the Charity going forward.

## **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**
For information on the financial position, please refer to pages 7-19.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
Our policy is to hold the equivalent of 3 months running costs (£25,205) 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 £60,397- (2021 £48,932).
## _**Principal funding sources**_
The charity’s principal source of funding is from grants, though this year saw an increase in free reserves being generated from our assessment service.
Restricted expenditure has focussed upon the key objectives of the charity with additional free reserves allocated for family learning in a deprived neighbourhood.
## _**Use of volunteers**_
Voluntary hours have constituted approximately 800 hours of support given by DAS staff for which the charity and the trustees are profoundly grateful.
## **Small companies provision statement**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **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 2022**
## **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 meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
## **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

## **Dyslexia Association of Staffordshire Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **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.
## **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.
