ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD
By Peter Wilkins
Hello everyone.
Once again, the time has come for me to write my message for the Annual Report. It doesn't
seem like a year since l the previous one.
It has been a very good and eventful year for Disabilty Stockport.
We were granted 3-year Lottery funding to continue to provide crisis and autism support.
Our Primus Day service has retumed to pre-covid numbers and continues to attract new
members. I continue to receive good reports on how much members enjoy Primus.
Following our involvement with Pilot Light over the last couple of years when we had regular
meetings with them, we have had continued support from Garfield Weston (in the form of grant
funding for our independent living services).
We have provided cost of living support to many through the household support fund and are
pleased that we have been a trusted partner in the scheme to ensure vulnerable households
benefit from the support fund.
l am continuing to enjoy my time as Chaimian and thank the Board of Trustees for their support
and for the work they do for the organisation throughout the year, whether it be their attendance at
Board meetings, or their involvement in the various aspects of Disability Stockport.
I would also like to thank management and staff for their dedication to our organisalion. and for
the continued high standard of work which they do.
My thanks also go to our members who help make Disability Stockport the fine organisation that it
is. l am proud and honoured to be your Chainnan.
Best wishes

Organisation
The Trustees as a body administer the Charity and they meet monthly.
The Trustees are assisted by the work of the following sub-groups: Finance, Governance and
Policy, and Media & Marketing. These sub-groups meet bi-monthly, to discuss budgets. contracts
and review and evaluate policies. The sub-groups have the power to Co-opt or consult specialists
as advisers. The following sub￿rOupS are convened as and when required: Business and Project
Development, Norninations and Recruitment, Training.
The day-to-day operations of the Chaiity are the responsibilty of the Chief Executive Officer, to
whom the Trustees delegate authority for operational matters including finance, employment and
development, within the overall strategy agreed by the Trustees.
Volunteers- Impactlsignlflcance in the charlty
Volunteers have always played a crucial role in the history of DS. Over the past year, they have
contributed approximately 7,000 hours, equating to a financial saving of over £80,000 in equivalent
wages. Their dedication and vital contributions ensure the smooth operation of our services and
allow us to focus on delivering quality support.
Volunteers contribute not only financially but also by enhancing the quality of support with their
diverse skills and experience. In return, they re￿1ve training, support, and feedback from members,
fostering positive and rewarding relationships. Their involvement is essential for the operation of
our social and support groups. For example, the 'Connect' social group and the autism social group
depend on volunteers to host weekly meetings, enabling members to socialise, make new friends.
and participate in informative sessions. Recently, a local Tai Chi group leader spoke to the autism
social group about the benefits of Tai Chi and how to get involved. These groups aim to connect
attendees with the community and provide social opportunities.
A notable initiative by one of our volunteers involved collaborating with The Light Cinema in
Stockport to organize regular autism-friendly film screenings. The social groups vote on filrns, and
volunteers support the screenings and a￿ange transport. This initiative has been highly successful,
leading the cinema to offer weekly autism-friendly film screenings thanks to the volunteer's efforts.
Additionally. DS offers placements for student social workers. This year, six students completed
their placements, gaining a wide range of service experience that contributed towards thelr
qualification. During thelr placements, DS benefits significantly from the projects they undertake.
Rlsk management
The Charity Trustees have carefully considered the major risks that Disability Stockport faces.
They have reviewed these risks and established systems and procedures to manage them
effectively.
A Rlsk Register, last reviewed in 2024, is maintsined to identify the principal risks that could affect
the Charity. These risks are categorised by their impact (low. medium, high) and their probability
(low, medium, high). The Trustees recognise that the reduction in core grant support and the
impending end of the current day service commissioning framework pose significant risks to the
Charity's financial stability while it continues to meet the needs of its beneficiaries.
For each significant risk, the Trustees have outlined specific actions and a timeline to mitigate
these risks. A Trustee or staff member has been assigned to oversee the implementation of these
actions. All risks will be reviewed at least annually to ensure ongoing vigilance and
responsiveness.
Trustees are covered by trustee indemnity insurance.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees consider expendable free reserves are essential to supplement any shortfall
between expenditure and income to maintain the level of service to clients and provide for any
unplanned revenue or capitsl expenditure.
Having considered the Chaiity's exposure to risk. a policy has been determined to target free
reserves (unrestricted funds invested in net current assets, which is the Charity's working capital
required to fund day-t041ay operations) at a level equivalent to six months, unrestricted
expenditure.
The free reserves of the Charity as at 31SI March 2024 total £121.4k {2023 £46.3k). compared with
unrestricted expenditure of £854k, which is equivalent to less than 2 month's expenditure.
Whilst the current level of reserves is low and the 2024-2025 forecast predicts a year end deficit,
DS has a financial risk register in place should post year end requests for funding be UnSuc￿sSfUl.
The risk register details mitigation action to ensure that the charity will continue as a going concem
and deliver services as planned.
Pay of Senior Staff
The CEO'S pay is determined by the Finance Sub-Group for approval by the Board of Trustees.
Comparative studies of levels for similar roles and factors of turnover and responsibilities are all
considered. The CEO pay for 2023124 amounted to £47.382 and no travel expenses have been
claimed.
Future plans
In 2024125. the charity will continue to offer and maintain the same range of services, remaining
well-positioned to adapt to any changes in govemment policy or funding while continuing to support
those in greatest need.
Primus aims to increase attendance and enhance the range of opportunities available. with a
particular emphasis on skills and training. We have initiated the process of becoming an ASDAN
Centre to provide level 4 qualifications and advance opportunities for progression. As the current
day service framework concludes in June 2024, DS plans to reapply with an enhanced offer of
vocational and educational sessions.
More determined and busier than ever. the SCIL team strives to meet the increasing needs of
disabled people across Greater Manchester, working towards social change and transforming
individual lives. In collaboration with partners, we are committed to delivering personalised support
that enables independenl living.
Disabilty Stockport has been invited to participate in the rollout of phase 5 of the Household Support
Fund. This will provide crisis support to vulnerable households, helping them cope with significantly
rising living costs. By implementing lessons leamed from previous phases and combining resources
with other partners, we aim to meet the needs of the local community more effectively. Recognised
as a model of good practice across Greater Manchester, SCIL will facilitate the scheme through
various personalized routes.
Like many disabled people's organisations, funding remains one of the most fundamental
challenges for SCIL. In response to this uncertainty, we will continue to strengthen our position
through a diversification of funding, leading to greater sustainabilty. This will enable long-term

gives rise to a material misststement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the trustees. report, which includes the directors, report prepared for
the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors, report included within the trustees. report has been prepared in accordance
th applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us lo report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect wtth
the trustees, report. or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are nol in agreement with the accounting records; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Trustees and dlrectors
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities. the trustees, who are also the
directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal
control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial
statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going
concem. disclosing, as applicabl8. matters related to going concem and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audlt of the financlal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in
accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a
guarantee that an audrt conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise frorn fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

INDEPENOENT AUDITORS REPORTTOTHE MEMBERS OF
DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material
misstatements in respect of i￿egUlar1ties, including fraud. The extent to which our prO￿dureS are
capable of detecting irregularilies, including fraud is detailed below:
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities. including
fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
The nature of the industry and sector in which the company operates" the control environment and
business perfomance including key drivers for directors. remuneration, bonus levels and
performance targets.
The outcome of enquiries of local management and parent company management, including
whether management was aware of any instsnces of non-compliance with lavts and
regulations, and whether management had knowledge of any actual. suspected, or alleged
fraud
Supporting documentation relating to the Companys policies and prO￿dureS for:
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations
Delecting and responding to the risks of fraud
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with
laws and regulations.
The outcome of discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud
might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
The legal and regulatory framework in which the Company operates, particularly those laws
and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements, such as the
Companies Act 2006. pensions and tsx legislation. or which had a fundamental effect on the
operations of the Company, including General Data Protection requirements, and Anti-
bribery and Corruption.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to
assess compliance with the provisions of those relevant laws and regulations which have a
direct effect on the financial ststements.
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
Evaluation and testing of the operating effectiveness of management's controls designed to
prevent and detect irregulaiities.
Enquiring of management about any actual and potential Sitigation and daims.
Performing analytical Pro￿dureS to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which
may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. We have also considered the risk
of fraud through management override of controls by:
Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. We have tested a
sample of manual joumals which may pose a heightened risk of material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates,
and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative
of a potential bias- and
Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside
the normal course of business.
14

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 81 MARCH 2024
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all
engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-complian￿ with
laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed
non-complian￿ with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of them. Also, the risk of not detecling
a matertal misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve deliberate Goncealment by, for example. forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website
at: https'll www.frc.org.uk]auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with
Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in
an auditorfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not aC￿pt
or assume responsibility to anyone other than Ihe charitable company and the charitable company's
members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set
out below.
Basis of preparation & accounting framework
The financial statements have been prepared: under the historic cost convention: in accordance
with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing
their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective January 12019 (second edition- October 2019); FRS102'
and the Charities Act 2011.
The accounts (financial ststements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair, view and have
departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required
to provide a 'true and fair view.. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting
by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the
Accounting and Reporting by Charitles: Statement of Recommended Practi￿ effective from 1 April
2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The charity constitutes a public benefft entity as defined by FRS102.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation thal
the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are
continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no
judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
Incoming resources
Total Incoming Resources as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities represents the net
amounts from all sources.
Income is recognised in the accounting period in which it is receivable, except in the following
circUmstan￿s, when the income is deferred and included in creditors:
The income relates to a future accounting period
A sales invoice has been raised ahead of the work being carried out and the charity is not
contractually entitled to the income until the work has been done
Not all the terms and conditions of the grant have been met, including the incurring of
expenditure and the grant conditions are such that unspent grant musl be refunded.
Income includes grants in respect of revenue and capital items. Grants for the purchase of fixed
assets are credited to restricted incoming resources when receivable, if all the conditions for their
receipt have been met. When there are continuing restrictions over use or disposal of the asset
acquired, then the grants are transferred to a separate restricted fund when the asset is acquired,
and depreciation is charged against this fund over the useful economic lrfe of the assets. If the
restrictions are met or lifted before the assets are fully depreciated the balance on the related
restricted fund is transferred to unrestricted funds.
