Sirgrahamwyliefoundation.org.uk Our biggest thank you goes to all the creative young dyslexics who produced artwork and shared their experiences.

Sharing stories of dyslexics everyday experience. We reorganised to work permanently from home & online, with the intention of hiring or using spaces if we need them in the future. This has helped us to reduce costs while maintaining services. The last year has been challenging as we have reduced volunteers and contractors to deliver work. We have found enquiries for help continue & generally take longer to answer. We have only been able to do this with the increased workload and support of June Reinaldo managing the virtual office and enquiries. As has been evidenced children & young people were impacted with lockdowns. Many schools found it difficult to offer tailored support online and dyslexic pupils reported greater difficulties in accessing the curriculum. Lockdowns continued to increase parent’s knowledge on the difficulties their children were facing. A few reported to prefer working at home as they could adapt pace and take breaks when needed. Changes to workplaces offered greater difficulties for dyslexics who took longer to adapt to new routines and ways of working. It can remain difficult for dyslexics to access reasonable adjustments. The greatest barrier is employers being aware of reasonable adjustments and assistive technology that could be easily provided. Invisible dyslexia work highlighted most do not like to ask for help especially if it's not clear what the company policies are. Having assistive technology or the right adjustments are often low cost and easy to adopt. Many workplaces value dyslexic skills and are surprised how easy it is to include when they have the right knowledge. We support campaigns to make assessments fairer to access, ask for more specially qualified teachers and encourage workplaces to shoutout about reasonable adjustments. We plan to continue to campaign and support dyslexics of all ages. ## **Financial Report** Income for Dyslexia North East has showed an increase of 5% over the previous year with a total of £92,165 being recorded, compared with £87,557 at year end 2020. The reserves continue to be strong, showing a total of £35,962 compared with £32,631 at the year-end 2020. Cash and Bank balances have increased by £4,938 with creditors increasing by £463, and assets decreasing by £1,145, explaining the movement around the balance sheet. This gives the Trustees and Service users comfort that the much needed Services will be able to continue into the foreseeable future. ## Reserves Policy The Board of Trustees recognises the need to maintain adequate unrestricted financial reserves to meet unforeseen contingencies. At 30 September 2021 the Reserves stood at £35,962. The Trustees maintain a rolling projection for at least 12 months ahead and will continue to ensure that funding is sought from as wide a variety of sources as possible. The Trustees will take all necessary steps to ensure that at no time in the foreseeable future, would it be possible for the ending of an income stream to seriously jeopardize our future so that we could continue to provide an effective and sustainable service. In reviewing fixed costs that would still be incurred should there be a significant reduction in income, our policy is to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level equivalent to at least 3 months core operating expenditure plus a variable sum to continue, promote and grow the charitable objectives pursued. 5 **DYSLEXIA NORTH EAST** (A company limited by guarantee) ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 30 September 2021 ## **4. Plans for the Future of Dyslexia North East.

Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standard (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.) Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees and Directors of Dyslexia North East have read and approved this Annual Report, Signed by: Lyn Brown Chairperson for Dyslexia North East Signature: Date: 25/07/2022 6 ## **DYSLEXIA NORTH EAST** (A company limited by guarantee) ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** For the year ended 30 September 2021 I report on the financial statements of Dyslexia North East for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 17. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and - h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or - h the accounts do not accord with such records; or - h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 - h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). I 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 accounts 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 Charities Act 2011. Dyslexia North East meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. ## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year-end of £23,630 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern. ## 3 **Income** ## 3.1 **Recognition of income** Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability ## 3.2 **Offsetting** There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102. ## 3.3 **Grants and donations** Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met. 10 (A company limited by guarantee) ## **DYSLEXIA NORTH EAST** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 30 September 2021 ## 3.4 **Donated goods and services** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA. ## 3.5 **Volunteer help** The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report. ## 3.6 **Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. ## 3.7 **Income from membership subscriptions** Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. ## 3.8 **Investment gains and losses** This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. ## 3.9 **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. ## 4 **Expenditure and liabilities** ## 4.1 **Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. ## 4.2 **Charitable activities** Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of assessments and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 11 ## **DYSLEXIA NORTH EAST** (A company limited by guarantee) ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 30 September 2021 ## 4.3 **Governance and support costs** Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT** Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. ## 4.5 **Creditors** The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. ## 4.6 **Provisions for liabilities** A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. ## 5 **Assets** ## 5.1 **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity** Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: Office furniture Computer equipment Straight line over four years Straight line over four years 12 ## **DYSLEXIA NORTH EAST** (A company limited by guarantee) ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** For the year ended 30 September 2021 ## **Analysis of income** |6
