The accounts will be presented to the trustees on 4[th] October 2023 

The focus of the charity remains unchanged, with the main aims to work with individuals on the spectrum and their families, and carers, within the Wokingham Borough and West Berkshire areas of England and in Pembrokeshire, Wales. 

Due to a large funding grant from National Lottery Wales, there has been a large recruitment drive, to enable an increased team covering Pembrokeshire. 

Cathy has continued to do a magnificent job of chasing down grant funding despite increased competition for the grants that are available, coupled with a smaller pool of grants. 

Grant income came from the National Lottery England, National Lottery Wales, Wokingham Borough Council (3 separate grant streams), Greenham Common Trust, Berkshire |Community Foundation. 

Residential trips, to Newquay & PGL, are being re-scheduled for 2023, from the original 2020 bookings. 

Many of the staff have continued to work using zoom, and Teams, which has become a ‘norm’ within the industry, including funders. 

The wage rates continue to be above the national minimum wage rate and will be constantly reviewed. Staff turnover has remained low. New projects have increased the number of staff that the charity employs in Wokingham, West Berkshire area and Pembrokeshire. 

There were no restricted funds carried into 2023 as the small amount of money being held was written back into the general reserves. 

Accessing grants for ASD will always be challenging, we still improve the lives and expectations of people affected by the day to 



day demands of living on or with the spectrum, in Wokingham Borough, West Berkshire and now Pembrokeshire.  2022 has also been challenging due to the increase in ‘Cost of Living’., and this is seen carrying into 2023 as a minimum. 

The charity continues to ensure a strong provision for the general fund but it needs to maintain the momentum to keep up the level of service it currently achieves and its vital supporting function for its stakeholders.
