## **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.
## **Objectives and activities**

## **Achievements and performance**
The charity continued its aims and objectives in support of people impacted by dyslexia. To maintain the charity and activities, grant funding was secured during the year which supported free access to advice, training, community outreach delivery as well as to cover overheads and key roles. Services were also offered by the charity to address local needs with these being accessed by both the public and a range of local organisations. A further increase in beneficiaries was seen on last year’s numbers with IAG, outreach activities, workshops, short courses and networking delivery making up the majority of beneficiary engagement. There was a continued high demand for diagnostic testing through our registered assessors and an increase in requests for tuition. Measures were put in place to increase capacity around testing and tuition which included the employment of an additional part-time tutor. A range of staff training and professional development took place. Planning took place to work towards a multi-year project and ensure that the charity was in a good position to meet short term demands as well as looking ahead to furthering inclusivity for our beneficiary cohort and to explore measures addressing the geographical challenges of covering a large county.
## **Multiply Maths Programme**
This was the 3rd and final year of our contract delivering the Government Multiply Maths Programme which ended in March 2025. The 3rd year focussed on outreach workshops, signposting and encouraging adults to take up maths learning opportunities. This was a successful project which addressed the need to improve numeracy skills and maths learning engagement in adults. The charity was singled out for achieving delivery to some particularly hard to reach learners, such as in a prison.
## **Staffordshire ACL Framework**
We completed our first full year delivering adult learning under the framework completing: 3 Literacy courses, 3 Numeracy courses and 2 Wellbeing courses were accessed by 80 learners, attracting parents and others with an interest in dyslexia and other SpLDs. Delivery via a combination of on-line and at community locations along with an inclusive format provided accessible learning opportunities across Staffordshire. Once again the charity gained excellent feedback thanks to the dedication and expertise of our community tutors. Beneficiaries seeking information, advice and guidance are routinely made aware of courses encouraging uptake and enhancing advice support.
## **VAST Community Health Champions Programme**
We continued engagement with the CHC programme beyond the grant funding promoting physical and mental health messaging, attending events and training opportunities and supporting beneficiaries in taking part in research.
## **CO-OP Community**
This year’s Co-op project provided support for the sharing of good practice in dyslexia support, bespoke advice and distribution of our own children’s information booklets. This was important support around the well-being issues that can impact those affected by dyslexia.
## **Awards for All**
Funding was received for a 22 month project supporting delivery of workshops on specific learning difficulties and associated advice for families and individuals. This was aimed at specific areas, including those where there was an identified gap in access.
## **HDH Wills 1965 Charitable Trust**
The trust provided co-funding for delivery of our short courses providing access to beneficiaries not covered under local adult learning eligibility **.**
## **Stoke Micro-grant**
This local initiative will support 4 community advice sessions in the Longton, Blurton and Meir areas over 2025/2026 providing face-to-face opportunities for the public to ask questions and gain individual advice.

## **Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors' report)**
## **Core funding**
Funding was also gratefully received from Garfield Weston, Postcode Local Fund and Comic Relief to support the charity’s overheads, staffing and costs involved with core services. Core funding remains an important part of support for the charity allowing flexibility around beneficiary needs and to fill all the gaps that are not covered through project specific grants.
## **Other donations and support**
Additional funds were raised this year through Potto Lotto, Easyfundraising and JustGiving. Throughout the year the charity gratefully received donations, support and promotion of the charity from individuals, organisations and businesses. The Charity was supported through the promotion of the organisation in print, social media and through recommendations. Volunteers supported the charity through promotion of our courses, attending community initiatives, and through ad hoc micro-volunteering. The we are extremely grateful for everyone’s support. Charity staff have worked diligently in their various roles which is reflected in the many positive comments and feedback received from beneficiaries. In addition, thanks goes to all members of the Charity Board for their continued support and expertise overseeing the running of the charity and for the time and commitment that they provided over the year.
## **Staff**
After 7 years of dedicated service we celebrated the well deserved retirement of a valued colleague, Chris Pezzaioli. Chris always went ‘above and beyond’ for DAS and her focus was always upon the best interests of the individuals she supported, the colleagues she worked with and for our charity. She will be hugely missed.

## _**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. Opportunities provided this year are as follows:
Over 1500 interaction with beneficiaries.
17 workshops; 3 dyscalculia; 3 literacy; 2 Well-being courses delivered
165 full diagnostic assessments carried out and 31 screenings
15 organisation/school awareness sessions/courses including training to staff and inmates at a local prison.
Information booklets, leaflets and posters provided to schools, libraries, services and 3rd sector organisations.
Staff and volunteers completing training and CPD sessions.
Staff and volunteers attending information stands and events including at a major special educational needs information event at Stafford County Showground; Voice for Change parental blame conference; VAST Health and Wellbeing and SEND events; Coalfield’s Regeneration Conference;
Walk Talk Action community event; Support Staffordshire events. Charity networking took place through local 3rd sector organisations as well as schools and employment services.
The Charity facilitated volunteer and beneficiary involvement in Keele University’s research projects and neurodiversity and health outcomes.
The charity became members of the National Health Network and Charity Excellence attending webinars.
Continued promotion of the charity through membership of the British Dyslexia Association, Local Offers directories, Staffordshire Adult Learning, Coalfield’s communities and individual funder hubs and VCSE memberships.
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 aim to hold the equivalent of 3 months running costs (£32,905) 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 £34,170 (2024: 30,523).
## _**Use of volunteers**_
Voluntary hours have constituted approximately 500 hours of support given by DAS staff for which the charity and the trustees are profoundly grateful.

## **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 2025.
## **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.

The notes on pages 10 to 19 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 2025**
## **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 2025**
## **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

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **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.
