STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governlng Document
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its constitution dated
1 February 2019, including an amendment passed on 19 August 2020, which became effective on
22 August 2020 upon receipt of Charity Commission consent.
The charity was formerly a company limited by guarantee, registered at Companies House, and
governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 2 November 2009. It converted to
a CIO on 1 February 2019 and retained its registration with the Charity Commission.
Membership is open to any adult, primarily but not exclusively residing in the Metropolitan Borough
of Stockport, who has a disability or an interest in disability matters and is approved by the trustees.
The trustees have the power to establish different classes of membership and, in certain
circumstances, to remove a person from membership.
There are currently 61 members of the charity who, in the event of its winding up, have no liability
to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for its debts or liabilities.

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Organisation
The Trustees collectively administer the charity and meet monthly to oversee strategic direction and
governance.
They are supported by several sub-groups that meet bi-monthly: Finance and Risk, Governance
and Policy, and Media and Marketing. These groups focus on budgets. contracts, policy review, and
evaluation. They may co-opt or consult external specialists as advisers when necessary. Additional
sub-groups Buslness and Project Development, Nominations and Recruitment, and Training are
convened on an ad hoc basis as required.
Day-to4ay operations are delegated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO>, who has responsibility
for managing the charity's activities in line with the strategy and policies set by the Twstees. This
includes authority over operational matters such as finance, slaffing, and organisational
development.
Voluntears - Impacuslgnlflcance In the charity
Volunteers have played a vltal role in the history and continued success of Dlsablllty Slockport. Over
the past year, volunteers contributed approximately 4,000 hours, representing an estimated
financial savlng of over £50,000 in equivalent staffing costs.
Beyond thelr financial value, volunteers bring diverse skills, lived experien￿, and energy that
enhance the quality and reach of our support. In return, they receive training, guidance, and
feedback from staff and members, creating rewarding, reciprocal relationships.
Volunteers are central to the operation of our social and support groups. For example, the Connect
social group is now fully led by dedicated volunteers and our autism social group relies heavily on
volunteer support to host weekly meetings. These sessions help members build frlendships, reduce
isolation, and access useful information. This year, Disability Stockport also stepped in to prevent
the closure of Group 48 a long-standing peer grouFI-by offering coordination and organisational
support to ensure its continuation.
Disability Stockport also hosls placements for studenl social workers, DurSng the year, nine students
completed placements, gaining valuable frontline experience across a range of seplices. Their
contributions enriched our work and sUPPOrted their professional qualifications.
Rlsk management
The Trustees have undertaken a comprehensive review of the principal risks facing Disability
Stockport and have implemented robust systems and procedures to manage these effectively.
A Risk Register, most recently reviewed in 2025, categorises each risk based on impact (low,
medium, high) and probability (low, medium, high). The Trustees have identified key financial and
operational risks, notably the reduction in core grant funding and the conclusion of the current day
service commissioning framework. These present significanl challenges to the charity's financial
sustainability while it continues to meet the complex and increasing needs of its beneficiaries.
For each significant risk, mitigating actions have been defined along with clear timelines and
designated leads-either a Trustee or a member of staff responsible for implementation. The
Risk Register is reviewed at least annually to ensure appropriate and timely responses to
emerging threats.
All Trustees are covered by trustee indemnity insurance.

(principally our High Street building). Free reserves have also grown.

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDEO 31 MARCH 2025
Reserves Pollcy
The Trustees believe that maintaining free reserves is essential to safeguard service continuity
and provide a buffer against unexpected costs or income shortfalls.
Following a review of the charity's risk exposure, the Trustees have set a target to hold free
reserves (unrestricted funds within net current assets) equivalent to six months of unrestricted
expenditure, to ensure sufficient working capital for day-to-day operations.
As of 31 st March 2025, the charity holds £321,000 in free reseNes (up from £121 ,400 in 2024),
against annual unrestricted expenditure 01 £834,132. This represents jusl under four months of
coverage.
In addition to these free reserves, Disability Stockport owns its main premises, a building on the
High Street in Stockport, valued at £932,004 on the balance sheet. This strengthens the charity's
overall financial posltlon and provides long-term security.
Although free reserves remain below the six-month target, Dlsability Stockport has implemented a
financial risk register, outlinlng mitigatlon strategies should future funding bids be unsuccessful.
This ensures the charity can continue operating as a going concern and maintain core service
delivery in the year ahead.
Pay of Senior Staff
The CEO'S salary is reviewed and set by the Finance Sub-Group and approved by the Board of
Trustees. This process takes into account comparative salaries for similar roles, organisational
turnover, and the level of responsibility.
For 2024125, the CEO'S salary was £47,932, with no travel expenses claimed during the year.
Future plans
In 2025126, Disability Stockport will continue to deliver its full range of servlces and remain
responsive to changing government policy, funding availability, and emerging needs.
Primus will focus on growing attendance and expanding opportunities, particularly In skills and
training. As a newly registered ASDAN Centre, the service wlll offer Level 4 qualifications to
enhance progression. With the current day service framework ending in June 2024, Disability
Stockport has submitted a reapplication with a stronger offer including vocational and educational
sessions.
The SCIL team is more committed than ever to addressing the increasing needs of disabled people
across Greater Manchester, striving for social change and promoting independent living, In
partnership with others, SCIL will continue to deliver tailored support that transforms lives.
Disability Slockport has also been invited to participate in Phase 7 of the Household Support Fund,
which provides crisis support to vulnerable households facing rising living costs. Building on good
practice and partnerships, SCIL will ensure resources are targeted effectively through personalised
delivery routes.
In addition, the charity has been invited to participate in the VCSE partnership alliance for the
Stockport Living Well (LW) model, part of Greater Manchester's transformation of community mental

the course of the audit, or othe￿iSe appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine
whether this gives rise to material misstatement 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.
Matters on which we are requlred to report by exceptlon
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with
the report. or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records., or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responslbllltles of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view,
and for such internal control, as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, 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 concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations
or have no realistic alternative but to do so,
Auditor's responslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal 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 auditors,
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 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.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website
at.. https:Iwww.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularitles, including fraud
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 irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF
DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including
fraud and noncompliance 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 performance 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 instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations,
and whether management had knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud
Supporting documentation relating to the Company's policies and procedures for,.
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations
Detecting 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 tax 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 statements.
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 irregularities.
Enquiring of management about any actual and potential litigation and claims.
Performing analytical procedures 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 journals 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.
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-compliance with
laws and regulations throughout the audit.
15

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF
DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed
non-compliance 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 detecting
a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Usa of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the
Charities Act 2011 and with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has
been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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 accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees
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 2025
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set
out below.
Basls of preparation & accounting framework
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with the Companies Act 2006, Ihe Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP):
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), effective January 1,
20191Second Edition - October 2019), as well as FRS 102 itself and the Charities Act 2011.
The accounts 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 necessary to comply with
the requirements of FRS 102. This departure involves following the more recent SORP issued on
16 July 2014, rather than the prevlous SORP effective from 1 April 2005, which has since been
withdrawn.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Golng Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that
the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Judgements and key sources of estimatlon uncertalnty
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates,
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These are based on
historical experience and other relevant factors believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. There are currently no Significant judgements or key sources of estimation
uncertainty affecting these accounts.
Incomlng resources
Total incoming resources, as shown In the Statement of Financial Activitles, represent the net
amounts receivable from all sources.
Income is recognised in the accounting perlod in which it becomes receivable, except in Ihe
following circumstances, where income is deferred and included in creditors..
The income relates to a future accounting perlod;
A sales invoice has been raised before the related work is carried out and the charity is not
contractually entilled to the income until the work is performed,,
Not all the terms and conditions of a grant have been met, including the incurring of relevant
expenditure, and the conditions state that unspent funds must be refunded.
Income includes both revenue and capital grants. Grants related to the purchase of fixed assets
are recognised as restricted income when receivable, provided all conditions have been met.
Where continuing restrictions apply to the use or disposal of the asset, the related grant is held in
a restricted fund, and depreciation is charged against that fund over the asset's useful economic
life. If restrictions are fulfilled or lifted before the asset is fully depreciated, any remaining balance
is transferred to unrestricted funds.

DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fund accounting
General funds are available at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the general
objectives of the Company.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for specific purposes. These
designations can be amended or removed at any time by the trustees,
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions imposed by donors or funders, or by the terms
of the related grant, and can only be used for the purposes specified.
Unrestricted funds include donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for
the charity's objectives that are not subject to further specific conditions, and are available as

voluntary income,
Charitable activities- These represent the costs incurred in delivering the charity's services
and achieving its objectives.
Expenditure is allocated to the relevant activity calegories in Ihe Statement of Financial Activities
(SOFA) on a basis intended to reflect the actual usage of resources. Direcl costs are attributed to
specific activities, while support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis (see notes 4-5).
Expenditure includes irrecoverable VAT, which is reported as part of the cost to which it relates.
Allocatlon of support costs
Support costs are those functions which assist the delivery of charitable activities or the generation
of income, but which are not directly attributable to specific activities. These include premises
costs, administration, staff costs. and professional services, The basis of apportionment is
disclosed in note5 ￿.
Penslon contributlons
The charity operates a workplace (defined contribution) pension scheme for its employees and
meets its legal obligations by paying the minimum required contributions. Contributions are
charged to the SOFA as they become payable.
Tanglble flxed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulaled depreciation. The cost of minor
additions (those below £500) is not capitalised.
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of assets over their estimated
useful lives as follows:
Equipment
250/0 per annum
Freehold Building 1 % per annum
Freehold Land
Not depreciated

DISABILITY STOCKPORT CIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less fiom the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are Tecognised when the charity has a present legal or constructive

Operatlng leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a
straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis.
Flnanca leas88
Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the asset or
the present value of th8 minimum lease payments and are depreciated over the shorter of the
lease term or the expected useful life of the asset. The lease obligation is recorded as a liability
and reduced through lease payments. Finance charges are allocated over the lease term using
the sum-of-digils or actuarial method, reflecting a constant peiiodic rate of interest on the
remaining bala nce of the liability,
Flnanclal Instruments
The charity only has financial instruments that are classified as baslc financial instruments. These
are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at their settlement value. The charlty
does not hold any complex financial instruments.
