## Cadomin, Wards Cross, Hurst, Berks, RG10 0DS ## Date: 3[rd] July 2024 The 2023 Year End Accounts will be presented to the trustees on 25[th] September 2024 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 an increased team covering Pembrokeshire. Alongside this, there has been many ‘pay-per-delivery’ contracts, increasing revenue and expenditure. Cathy has continued to do a magnificence job of chasing down grant funding despite increased competition for the grants that are available, coupled a smaller pool of grants. Grant income came from the National Lottery England, National Lottery Wales, Wokingham Borough Council (4 separate grant streams), Greenham Common Trust, Berkshire Community Foundation, and other smaller grants, tenders, and contracts, from more local grant-giving organisations and the local authorities. Residential trips, to Newquay & PGL, were completed in 2023. Many of the staff have continued to work using 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 is only £5,815.00 ‘restricted’ funds carried into 2024, and only £39,852.00 ‘unrestricted but allocated’ for 2024. The charity reserves are sufficient for the charity. There is £85,721.19 ‘unallocated’ funds transferring to 2024. In total the ‘restricted’, ‘allocated but unrestricted’, and ‘unallocated’ funds = £131,388.19 to carry into 2024. 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. 2023 has also been challenging due to the continued increase in ‘Cost of Living’., and this is seen carrying into 2024, 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. **----- Start of picture text -----**
