Home visits, library of information and resources and monthly newsletters are provided. Activities include Saturday sessions, dance and youth club and Summer trips. We are very grateful to the institutions who have provided funding for our many ongoing projects to benefit the lives of people with Down syndrome.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. All our activities focus on furthering our charitable purposes to enable children and young people and adults to live full and rewarding lives.
Achievements and performance
A massive thank you to all of our team for their continued outstanding commitment.
Over the year our services and staff team have expanded. We have welcomed three new members of staff; Ruth Beers as part of our I Can Work team, Lauren Hempel who delivers our Early Development Groups and Heather Bell, Young Peoples Coordinator in the youth club. We have also said goodbye to Jen Senior and Sam Murray, as they moved onto pastures new. Both had worked in our youth club for several years.
Our team of dedicated volunteers, diminished during lockdown, has steadily increased and we are continuing to recruit new volunteers to help in the delivery of our vast range of services.
We also welcomed two new Directors, Jenn Casper-Smith and Mel Ratcliffe, increasing the Board from 6 to 8 members.
In March 2022 we held our first world Down syndrome day celebration weekend since 2019 at Cedar Court Hotel; 42 families joined us for an amazing weekend. In May ten families gathered at Ingleborough Hall for another amazing weekend. We’ve really missed our large gatherings over the last two years and everyone relished just being together in a relaxed and joyous atmosphere.

Achievements and performance (continued)
In December we said good bye to Haworth Road Methodist Church; where it all started back in September 2000 with our first ever family gathering; there were only 4 families to start with! We now number about 400! Earlier in the year we moved our large play equipment to Bingley Methodist Church which also provides storage space; we are all enjoying our new monthly family Saturday mornings and averaging 10 families per session. In addition our siblings support group, Sibz Zone, takes place at our youth club, running to coincide with the family Saturday session. Delivered by older siblings it is growing from strength to strength. We are aware that we need to expand our service to better support dads and a recent successful dads’ night out is a move in this direction.
Our core services of training, speech & language and early intervention have steadily returned to pre covid levels with excellent feedback:
Comment from our Introduction to Down syndrome training:
‘ The course was fantastic, you really provided a great insight into the learning needs of pupils with Down syndrome and how to support them’
Comment from our speech & language sessions:
The sessions are a lifeline when this vital provision is seriously lacking in any other area (school, education or health service).
Comment on our early development groups:
‘He has progressed in all areas but especially due to the involvement of staff from school who attend with him. This means that the EDG approach is being followed in school as every session our sons one to one worker leaves with new ideas to apply at school. As a result, our sons learning is enhanced and reinforced. ’
19 new parent packs have gone into local hospitals and 12 learning support packs have been put together for children new to our early development groups.
Using Zoom, our online services have increased across training and consultations with greater outreach across the UK with a total of 856 benefitting across 61 separate training/workshop/consultation sessions. A small number of children also benefit from online early intervention and online speech & language where travel is an issue. In addition, we now offer monthly occupational therapy, funded by the National Lottery; this service is very much in demand with 29 children benefitting since September 2021.
Our website is proving to be very successful in helping us promote and book training events and sell our resources.
We are delighted with our I Can Work project which we feel is now well established and has successfully supported 4 young adults into employment.
For the second year running we have raised more then we have spent! Our expenditure has increased and we are delighted that we have managed to increase our funding. This funding is mainly generated through grants but the remainder, around £55 000, is from your fundraising and the fees we charge for training and our services. The National Lottery continues to fund a large portion of our core services and this is secure until March 2025.
Our aims for 2021/22 were to raise £70 000, hold a large family celebration for world Down syndrome day, hold a speech & language conference and move forward with our I Can Work project. We have excelled across all targets and are now ready to move forward into 2023 expanding and adding to these targets. We would especially like to improve our outreach to health staff, in particular midwives and health visitors.
Well done and thank you to everyone involved in the achievements of our amazing charity.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 May 2022
Financial review
The net income for the year was £6,675, including net expenditure of £21,839 on unrestricted funds and net income of £28,514 on restricted funds, after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £80,852. This includes £13,055 which was previously in funds designated by the trustees, as detailed in Note 4 of the accounts.
The trustees have adopted a formal reserves policy which is reviewed annually. We have set a budget for our next financial year and continuously monitor all of our projects against funding already secure/funding bids and expenditure. We employ a funding coordinator. We do not have any concerns about the financial situation over the next 12 months and believe the charity can be treated as a going concern. We have also reviewed the financial impact of Covid19 and we again have no concerns that will impact on our organisation's ability to continue to deliver its service.
We rely on funders, fundraising and our members for funds to continue our services. The lead time from applying for funding to receiving funds is a minimum of 6 months and can be up to 12 months. To reduce the impact on services and staffing, the Board have agreed that it would be prudent to retain free reserves totalling between 9 and 12 months of running costs. This sets the limit for 2022/23, based on budgeted expenditure, to a lower limit of £117,750 and an upper limit of £157,000. In the event of reserves dipping below the lower limit (£117,750), we will aim to restore the reserves by at least 25% each year meaning that over a four year period this was restored to full level. This could be achieved by increased fund raising, increasing earned income or reducing expenditure. At 31 May 2022, our free reserves were just over 6 months of budgeted running costs, and the trustees will endeavour to seek further funding to increase free reserves accordingly.

Down Syndrome Training and Support Service Limited Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 May 2022
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these 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 UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 6/9/22

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Down Syndrome Training and Support Service Limited
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 May 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company 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.
