Foreword from the Chair of Trustees
I’m grateful that compared to a year ago when writing my foreword, the height of the Covid19 Pandemic is further behind us. However we are all still undeniably feeling the effects and it seems the world has changed irreversibly because of it. The crises in our Health Care and Social Care systems have continued to worsen – something we witness daily on our frontline services and we are forging ahead with our innovative solutions to relieve some of the pressures in Cornwall which are resulting in so many people going without the care and support they need.
An overview of our activities is given further on in this report, showing the breadth and diversity of the support we deliver. The charity’s income has increased by more than two and a half times compared to the year before and our staffing has more than doubled to enable us to deliver more services to more people than ever in our 25-year history. Very well done to our fundraising staff who work so hard to ensure we can fund the vital services we deliver. We do not have the luxury of dedicated fundraising staff, so it is down to our Chief Executive and Projects Officer to secure grants and contracts alongside their day jobs.
Our biggest undertaking this year has been the continued development of Humans Cornwall – our Support Planning and Brokerage Service established in response to community need. We are passionate about personalisation within our care and support systems, ensuring people have the opportunity to shape their support. Medical model approaches do not allow for a person’s needs and wishes to be heard; instead we start with a person’s individual strengths, preferences and aspirations and allow them to have choice and control about how and when they are supported to live, maximising their chances to live independently for longer. The Humans Cornwall team started with just two staff members during the pandemic, and has since developed into a 37 strong team with its own distinct service identity, with one of the original staff members stepping up to the role of Service Lead, a role with a huge remit, from shaping the service with commissioners, to training and mentoring dozens of new staff. We will continue to put our case forward for long-term commissioning of this vital service.
We were particularly delighted this year to see our Chief Executive, Jane Johnson, awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for ‘services to disabled people’. She has worked tirelessly over a 20 year career at disAbility Cornwall and this was a much deserved recognition.
Owing to the growth in every one of our services, we have comprehensively outgrown our modest office building on an industrial estate in Hayle, which has been home to the charity for over 10 years. Staff are getting by with a combination of hybrid working, desk sharing, noise cancelling headphones, and even using the foyer/reception area as desk space. We desperately need to move to larger premises, and plans are under way to relocate to purpose built offices on the grounds of Hayle Rugby Football Club.
While some home working and remote meetings are still commonplace since the pandemic, our staff have rediscovered the value of face-to-face working, for building relationships,
7
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
effective communication and collaboration, training new staff, increasing meaningful participation and work satisfaction. The last activity to resume in real life will be our Trustee Board Meetings, the first in-person meeting taking place in October 2022.
This will be the perfect opportunity for staff members to update the Board on all aspects of the charity’s work, and just as importantly, for the Board to thank staff in person for their hard work and dedication over the last year.
Mrs Christine Simpson, M.Phil Chair

Activities, Performance & Achievements
Disability Information & Advice Line (DIAL)
DIAL is a free service and is the gateway to many of our other services. This year we maintained our extended opening hours and staffing which began as a Covid response and the need has continued. People receive information and advice from our team of qualified, professional advisers and case record accordingly, across the areas of:
-
➢ Health & Wellbeing
-
➢ Independent Living & Equipment
-
➢ Social & Leisure Opportunities
-
➢ Money & Welfare Entitlements
-
➢ Housing & Home Environment
-
➢ Rights & Discrimination
-
➢ Training, Volunteering & Employment.
This year we supported 1,498 people (1,426 in the prior year) through 5,594 individual actions and assisted in raising an additional £377,510 in household income for our clients (£489,344 in prior year). The majority of clients were over the age of 50. Most had a longterm health condition and for the first time ever, more people with mental health conditions rather than people with a physical disability accessed the service. 67% of enquires fell into the Money and Welfare Entitlements category, followed closely by Independent Living & Equipment, and Health and Well-being (ASC issues) both at 10%, then Housing and Home environment at 7%. Our lowest category is Training & Education (1.5%). Our annual survey of a sample of clients showed we made ‘a lot of difference’ to 93% of our clients
Inclusion Matters
We are a partner in this Cornwall Council commissioned service, providing multi-faceted oneto-one support to adults with health and wellbeing needs, to increase connections to their community and improve each person’s sense of wellbeing. In the year to 31 March 2022, our staff working on this project supported 366 clients (188 in the prior year). This project has been extended for a further 12 months will run until at least September 2023.
Village Works
We are a partner in this European Social Fund project, led by Inclusion Cornwall, providing one-to-one support to people who are economically excluded, unemployed or disadvantaged and living in rural coastal villages in targeted areas across the County. The project was extended by nine months and will run until September 2022.

disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Who Dares Works
We are a welfare entitlements specialist partner in this European Social Fund and National Lottery Community Fund project, which is led by Active Plus. It is focussed on assisting people in West Cornwall to reconnect with education, training and employment. Our adviser continued to support people to complete benefit forms throughout the lockdowns, doing this over the phone and on video chat instead of face-to-face. The project has been extended and will run until June 2023.
Cornwall Carers Service
We are a delivery partner in this service, led by Cornwall Rural Community Charity with a five-year contract from Cornwall Council. The service started in July 2021 and by 31 March 2022 we supported 2,106 unpaid and informal carers (exceeding our targets), providing the Information & Advice Line for the service – available via telephone and email, including two evenings a week. We are proud of the quality service we have developed in this short time, where people accessing the Advice Line are provided with information, advice, low level advocacy and practical support.
Victim Support
The Cornwall Disability Alliance secured a grant from Victim Support Devon & Cornwall as a disability specialist partner. Our remit covers all crimes, except specialist provision for victims of murder and manslaughter, domestic abuse and/or sexual violence which are covered under other funding provisions. The service helps victims and those affected by crime to deal with the aftermath of experiencing crime, offering both practical and emotional support. Where appropriate we refer clients to another member of the Disability Alliance, to receive specialist support, for example a victim of crime with hearing loss may be referred to Hearing Loss Cornwall.
The Inclusivity Project
This is a European Regional Development Fund research project, led by Exeter University and for which we are the disability expert partner. Broadly speaking, the Inclusivity Project explores the barriers to employment for disabled and older workers, with a view to developing new policies and products to overcome them. Our main focus and responsibility is to be the conduit for the project to reach disabled people, so their voice, experience and opinions are heard to inform its ongoing work. This year our researcher Dr Theo Blackmore worked closely with the project, bringing his lived experience and years of disability research.
Training for Personal Assistants and Employers
Utilising Skills for Care’s User Led Organisation funding, our training service 5 Degrees West, trained 505 Personal Assistants (including prospective PAs looking to join the workforce) and three employers through online training sessions. Although we are strong advocates that there is no equal substitute for face-to-face training, our trainer ensured sessions were
10
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
accessible, interactive and engaging. We saw many benefits to online training – attendance was better as people didn’t have to travel or take extra time away from the person they support. We will continue to use blended learning methods in the future, even now that restrictions have been removed. This year the sessions covered:
-
➢ Emergency First Aid in the Workplace
-
➢ Moving and Handling
-
➢ Food Hygiene
-
➢ Health and Safety in the Home
-
➢ Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults
-
➢ Supporting People with Diabetes
-
➢ Creating Moments of Joy for People with Dementia
-
➢ Neurological Conditions Awareness
Humans Cornwall
Humans Cornwall is a new service that disAbility Cornwall has developed during the year, in reaction to urgent need and crisis in the Health and Social Care sectors. It started out as what we referred to in last year’s Annual Report as the Discharge to Assess service, where we were invited to join a pilot led by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust and the Kernow CCG, along with other voluntary sector organisations, to enable them to transfer people home from hospital who were medically optimised, but for whom there were barriers to them going home. We did this through our Support Planning and Brokerage service, provision of short-term Personal Assistants and support from DIAL across housing, welfare entitlements, rights & discrimination, independent living equipment and more, all to help overcome barriers to returning home, bringing community support around an individual, in a personalised way, to help them readjust and stabilise their situation.
During the year we secured grant funding, firstly from Cornwall Council Public Health and the Containment Management Outbreak Fund, and later from NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to plug into this service and extend the support to ‘prevention’ cases – people in the community identified as needing extra support – instead of hospital discharges only.
We have increased staffing in the Humans Cornwall Team significantly, and our team comprises Personalised Care Leads, Support Brokers, Care Coordinators and a Direct Payment Community Support broker, and is supported and complemented by a countywide workforce comprising:
-
Bank staff Personal Lifestyle Assistants, a new workforce not necessarily working in care, but willing to support people in their community
-
Micro providers, with plans to help support and grow this market, enabling more skilled people to deliver care in their localised communities under our umbrella and
-
A growing volunteer base of people willing to undertake random acts of kindness.
Humans is a social movement and capitalises on technological approaches for the mobilisation of people in communities and we work collaboratively across the health, social care and community system to share our learning and integrate.
11
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
During the financial year, Humans supported 918 clients in total, these were made up of hospital Discharge Clients and Community Prevention clients. We provided £148,000 of support to clients in the form of deep cleans to their homes, and essential household items. We also managed the NHS one-off discharge grants, whereby patients and families were offered grants of up to £1,200 to facilitate a discharge from hospital.
Payroll & Managed Accounts Service
We provide affordable professional services to support people who receive a personal health budget from the NHS, or a social care personal budget from the local authority, or who selffund, to manage their own care package. They comprise payroll services for clients who employ their care staff directly, ensuring they receive all the support they need to fulfil their legal obligations as employers. We also provide a full wrap-around managed account service, where we receive and make all payments relating to the client’s personal budget on their behalf, alleviating the additional stress which managing your own funds can cause. At the end of this financial year, we had 356 active clients, 93 of whom used just the payroll service, 88 just a managed account service and 175 used both. Our payroll clients collectively employ 672 Personal Assistants as of 31 March 2022.
Have a Go Days
After a year of ‘virtual’ Have a Go Days via Zoom, real life sessions thankfully resumed in April 2021. These are free multi sports sessions for children with any kind of additional need or disability, plus their siblings or friends, aged 6-17. Our partner Shilton Soccer run these fun inclusive sessions at Bodmin Leisure Centre and Cornwall College in Redruth in all school holidays except Christmas. Last year we ran 21 sessions, 146 children attended at least one session. The coaches are experts in identifying each child’s needs and helping them to engage and get as much out of the activity as possible. This may mean joining in a large group game, or playing one-to-one with an ‘includer’. Children build positive memories and the sessions reduce isolation, build confidence and self-efficacy, improve mental and physical wellbeing, and provide much needed respite for parents.

Cornwall Disability Alliance
This consortium of disability organisations in Cornwall has gone from strength to strength. disAbility Cornwall lead the alliance, the members are: iSight Cornwall, Hearing Loss Cornwall, Mid-Cornwall Lifestyles, Active8, Cornwall Accessible Activities Programme, Merlin MS Centre, Cornwall Mobility, Cornwall People First and the Cornwall Memory Café Network. We have been working on codesign, developments and co-producing funding applications to ensure a fair and proportionate investment in the disability community, to fill gaps and bolster service provisions to meet current needs. The Alliance secured significant funding from the Containment Outbreak Management Fund (COMF) – used towards Humans Cornwall, 50 sets of British Sign Language Counselling sessions, accessible Staying Safe Online videos, social activities for children, young people and adults, re-energising the Cornwall Memory Café Network, and providing Outreach for adults with a learning disability. The Alliance also secured Critically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV) funding, which we used to employ a team of Wellbeing and Happiness Innovators to work across the alliance members, and to bring back DISCOVER Magazine, Cornwall’s only pan-disability lifestyle magazine

disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
ensuring people who are digitally excluded are provided with information and advice on what is happening within our communities, as well as topical articles.
Leaders with Lived Experience
This is a two-year project funded by the National Lottery that started in January 2021 investigating the experiences of Disabled Peoples’ Organisations (DPOs) across England during this Covid-19 pandemic. Project Officer Dr Theo Blackmore engaged with DPOs via a questionnaire and online forum events. He contributed to a mapping exercise, with the final DPO map due to be published on the DRUK website. And in July he hosted a DPO conference which included a speaker from the Ukrainian Assembly of People with Disabilities, to share how the war is disproportionately affecting disabled people in Ukraine.
Access Audit Advice and Consultancy
Our volunteer access auditor, Geoff Squibb, resumed delivery of the Walk, Wheel and Talk Service this year, after a break during social distancing. This included visits to Poldhu Cove and Gunwalloe commissioned by the National Trust, and Penzance Shop Mobility.
We also reviewed proposals and gave informal advice on the Truro Loops improvements and Looe Valley Trails.
Membership
As a user led organisation, our membership must comprise at least 51% disabled people. Our Board of Directors is elected from our membership and it must comprise at least 75% disabled people and / or carers. We had 326 individual members on 31 March 2022.

Chief Executive’s report
This year should really be a celebratory one as we mark our 25th Anniversary, but sadly there feels little to be joyous about, with the impact of not just the last two years of the pandemic, but with the inequalities our stakeholders have faced with loneliness, isolation, managing without necessary protections, support or much needed therapies, and now facing the impact of the health and social care crisis, but all of which came on the heels of years of financial cuts in welfare reforms and increased conditionality for state support. Now we face a cruel winter ahead with the increased cost of living.
This year we will continue to strive to listen to the voice of our stakeholders and work with them to improve their situations. People living with a long-term health condition or disability have, unfairly, had to endure so much over the years and it’s our role to push for the rights and entitlements of our community and to further the inclusion agenda.
We certainly face a very busy year ahead at the charity with all the various programmes of work we are involved with and delivering, new and existing, and the partnerships we continue to cultivate to help us deliver on our mission.
During last winter we were delighted to really galvanise the Cornwall Disability Alliance, building on our relationships and securing Public Health funding to deliver specific programmes of work to meet the needs of our communities, and help with pandemic recovery. There is still funded work continuing from this, not least, we are yet to purchase a whole new fleet of sand chairs to enable us to access our lovely beaches, plus we secured longer term funding for staffing for the Cornwall Memory Cafe Network and for Humans Cornwall, to help with hospital pressures and ensure people are supported in the community at a time of difficulty. The support is holistic – we draw on resources from across sectors to wrap support around people, and we help maximise household income and secure grants or purchase vital household items.
We have truly loved working with our Disability Alliance partners and this coming year will see us really embed our relationships, and our position in county, and we sincerely hope to secure further funding collectively, so we can ensure it directly benefits our communities. We are currently undertaking a piece of work with the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust to ensure new developments are inclusive and accessible. We are confident we will be able to do so much more, together.
A considerable priority for us is the continued development of Humans Cornwall, this personalised and holistic service is delivered within people’s homes, and is a way of supporting people we have always wanted to see, but funding was never available for. Not only the core of the service, but the growth of the social movement will continue, and we will hopefully become CQC registered and ensure we are safe, caring, responsive, effective and well-led and NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board (ICB) is providing funding for this to continue until March 2023. We will launch our new App which will enable
16
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
PAs and micro providers to join our movement so we can mobilise people where they are needed across our communities.
The wider system around is changing, and we hope, for the better. The new Integrated Care System is mandated in law from July and will see health trusts, adult social care and our VCSE sector work better together for placed based communities. We look forward to being able to better shape services to ensure they meet the needs of our stakeholders.
We have outgrown our offices, and we have an in-principle agreement with Hayle Rugby Football Club to create a wellbeing building that will also incorporate our offices in 1.5 acres of site, so this will certainly take precedence this year as we drive forward plans to accommodate our team and to ensure local provision to meet the needs of Hayle as our HQ locality.
While under development for many years, Every Customer Counts is finally complete, as both an App and website. This will enable businesses to sign up, self-assess the accessibility of their premises and receive a personalised accessibility report on what needs addressing and how. Businesses will then receive a rating and create an advert where we can search and find them on the desktop App by geographical location, business type or access features. Nothing like this currently exists in the country, so we are hopeful there will be a good take up, it will benefit businesses through being able to access the ‘purple pound’ (the spending power of disabled people) and will make society more inclusive for us all.
In the meantime, we will continue to connect with our stakeholders through our socials, in person and through Discover magazine.

19
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Risk management
The Trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed. A Risk Register is held and formally reviewed annually by the Board, or sooner if necessary. Potential risks are identified and scored based on likelihood and severity, and mitigating actions are taken as necessary. The Trustees will continue to review potential risks on a regular basis and will act to minimise or mitigate these risks as required.
The table below shows the principal risks identified by the Trustees as at 31 March 2022.
| Risk area | Key risk to disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly |
Mitigating actions |
|---|---|---|
| Funding | Shortfall in funding leading to an inability to deliver services at the level currently provided to clients. |
Opportunities to diversify funding streams and control costs are constantly under review. An adequate level of reserves is held to minimise the impact of a funding shortfall in the short-term. |
| Human resources |
Failure to attract and retain a sufficient level of skilled staff and volunteers to deliver our services. |
The charity has successfully retained the Investors in People Gold accreditation since 2005 as a result of commitment to excellent people management practices. Training and career development opportunities are available, and total reward packages are kept under review. |
| Operational | Poor service or noncompliance with terms and conditions of grants and contracts leading to loss of funding and reputation. |
Regular performance monitoring for each service is undertaken by senior staff and reported on quarterly to the Board. Service Strategies are in place and communicated to relevant staff and accompanied by training and mentoring. We collect feedback from service users and any complaints received are investigated. Grants and contract agreements reviewed to establish specific requirements. Appropriate insurance in place, including Cyber Protection for the first time this year. |
| Premises | Outgrowing our office space. | Hybrid working in place to allow staff to work from the office for the majority of their working hours. Plans underway to relocate to new purpose built office on the site of Hayle Rugby Football Club. |

Financial review
The results for the year show net income of £473,911 (2021: net expenditure £103,936) as detailed in the statement of financial activities.
Grant making policy
When funding is received which the charitable company is unable to use itself, it is passed to another suitable organisation to use for the purpose it was intended.
Investment policy
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. During the year we have closed a 12-month fixed rate savings account and 60-day notice account in favour of instant access accounts only. This ensures access to funds for operational purposes, and while interest rates are low, the loss of potential interest is not significant.
Reserves policy
In order that the charitable company can meet its objectives for disabled people in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, the Trustees have considered its resources and commitments. The charitable company is reliant on a combination of grant funding, contracts, self-generated income and donations, and the Trustees review the level of reserves required based on an assessment of the major financial risks to which the charity is exposed.
The Trustees consider that unrestricted reserves to cover approximately three months of the expected core running costs, plus costs of closing the charity, should be maintained. £205,000 of unrestricted funds have been designated for this purpose (2021: £145,000).
A separate future deficit reserve is held to cover a potential deficit over the next one to two years. £130,000 of unrestricted funds have been designated for this purpose.
Remuneration policy for key management
The Trustees consider the CEO, Advice Service Manager and Humans Cornwall Manager to comprise the key management personnel of the charity, to be in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis.
The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the nature of the charity, the Trustees benchmark against pay levels in other similar organisations.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements 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 that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting 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 financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement of disclosure to auditor
In so far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charitable company’s auditor is aware of that information.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent auditors’ report to the Members of Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) .
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The impact of macro-economic uncertainties on our audit
Our audit of the financial statements requires us to obtain an understanding of all relevant uncertainties, including those arising as a consequence of the effects of macro-economic uncertainties such as Covid-19 and Brexit. All audits assess and challenge the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors and the related disclosures and the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements. All of these depend on assessments of the future economic environment and the company’s future prospects and performance.
Covid-19 and Brexit are amongst the most significant economic events currently faced by the UK, and at the date of this report their effects are subject to unprecedented levels of uncertainty, with the full range of possible outcomes and their impacts unknown. We applied a standardised firm-wide approach in response to these uncertainties when assessing the company’s future prospects and performance. However, no audit should be expected to predict the unknowable factors or all possible future implications for a company associated with these particular events.
23
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Independent auditors’ report to the Members of Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
In our evaluation of the directors’ conclusion, we considered the risks associated with the company’s business, including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as Covid-19 and Brexit. We analysed how those risks might affect the company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In accordance with the above, we have nothing to report in these respects.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the absence of reference to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guarantee that the company will continue in operation.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 our 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 with applicable legal requirements.
24
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Independent auditors’ report to the Members of Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
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 internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 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 liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 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.
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.
As part of our audit work, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate. Given the activities of the charity, we determined that the most significant laws and regulations are safeguarding regulations, charity fundraising regulations, UK tax legislation, employment law and health and safety and those that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and compliance with financial reporting framework FRS102 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.
25
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Independent auditors’ report to the Members of Disability Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate;
-
Discussions with management as to how compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored;
-
Review of the disclosures in the financial statements and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Enquiries of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of trustee meetings and correspondence with regulators;
-
Performing audit work in connection with the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries for reasonableness and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
We also communicate relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-andassurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilitiesfor-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 auditors' 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 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.

Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Incoming resources
Voluntary income is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods, or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Legacies are recognised in the accounts in the period to which the charity becomes entitled to the income, unless it is incapable of financial measurement.
Income from trading activities is recognised as earned as the related goods and services are provided.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract and grant funding. Any income subject to specific performance conditions is recognised as the related goods or services are provided. Income included in this category funding the support of performance activities is recognised when there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income is deferred when performance related grants are received in advance of the performances or events to which they relate.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time.
2.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is included on an accrual’s basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred.

32
disAbility Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Governance costs represent the costs of management committee expenses, audit/independent examination fees and professional fees.
2.6 Funds structure
The charity has a number of restricted income funds to account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose.
Unrestricted funds are available to the Trustees without specific conditions. The use of these funds is entirely at the discretion of the Trustees.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
2.7 Fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided on fixed assets to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of the assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements Over the period of the lease Motor vehicles 20% per annum Computer equipment 33.33% per annum
2.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
2.9 Cash and cash equivalent
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of 12 months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.11 Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debts, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
2.12 Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or Section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

2.15 Pension costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2.16 Transfers
Transfers are made when appropriate from a specific fund to recover costs incurred not charged directly to that fund.
2.17 Operating leases

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
