**1Voice - Communicating Together Trustees’ report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To preserve and protect the health and to advance the education and development of children and adults who have communication difficulties and people important to them (family / carers / supporters), particularly by assisting or encouraging persons using Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) within the United Kingdom to achieve their communication potential, and to make provisions or promote any scheme thought necessary to meet this aim.
To advance the education of the public, to increase their awareness and understanding of AAC.
## **The charity's main activities**
1Voice creates opportunities to bring together children and adults who use AAC and people important to them (family / carers / supporters) to share ideas, information, skills and personal experiences.
1Voice holds residential event(s) each year and local activities throughout the year supported by regional committees.
1Voice further aims to reach out to the wider public to increase awareness through published newsletters and internet-based presence such as website and social media platforms.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the relief of disability such as working with families and children with complex needs and speech impairments.
## **Achievements and performance**
1Voice has had another successful year. We continue to attract new members and there is a good mix of AAC users, families and professionals interested in our support services.
Membership has increased by 40 in the year and currently stands at 331 as of 31 March 2025. The number of people benefitting from involvement with 1Voice will be higher when considering the children and young people who use AAC and other family members.
Following a questionnaire to members in October 2023, the trustees dedicated the January 2024 meeting to developing the strategy for the year ahead. The strategy document was reviewed regularly at trustees’ meeting to monitor progress. The key areas of focus were:
1. To build a branch network to reach more AAC users – several local events were held in the year.
2. Improve communications to reach more AAC members – regular bi-monthly e-newsletters
- issued.
3. Explore alternative event formats to reach more AAC users (one-day events) – one-day event held in June 2024 three one-day events held in 2025.
4. Grow volunteer base to ensure quality support for AAC users at events – several online events held to increase engagement.
5. Recruit a treasurer – pleased to welcome Alison Hughes as our Treasurer.
6. Change the employment status to reflect 1Voice growth – part-time administrator employed from 1 April 2024.
7. Build opportunities for role models – an integral part of local and national events.

## Residential Weekend
We held a Paralympics-themed national weekend in August at Treloars College. Activities provided increased social interaction for those who use AAC. We brought together 25 AAC users, and their families and supporters. We were really pleased to attract five new families through more heavily subsidised places. Fully inclusive specialised workshops, some delivered by AAC user role models, encouraged the skills of communication, whilst providing an opportunity to try new things. The highlight for many was the Boccia tournament led by our Patron, and former Paralympian, Beth Moulam. Other activities included Paralympic parade preparation, giving an opportunity to design flags and sports kit; an obstacle course; and a press room activity where people conducted pre- or post-sporting event interviews. Parents’ workshops were held alongside the group activities and provided an opportunity to ask questions and gain support from others. Thank you to our role model Helen, who shared her experience of independent living, and to role models Adam and Toby who shared their experiences of being physically active. Our closing ceremony took place on Sunday morning with a Paralympic parade. Thank you to Lana for telling us about how she achieved her Gold Duke of Edinburgh award; Stefan who showed us the film he has made about accessible skiing; and Ian who shared his love of sailing.
The weekend was smaller than in previous years due to several event clashes, however its impact was just as great.
We’d like to say a big thank you to the National Lottery who gave us a substantial grant towards the cost of the event, and thanks to the National Lottery players for making our project possible.
## One-day Event
We held a one-day event in Manchester in June. This was attended by 34 people, including five children and seven adults who use AAC. A relaxed format allowed attendees to take part in several games and activities, whilst chatting and networking with others. Thank you to Nadia, the first 1Voice child, who shared her 1Voice journey.
## Online Events
## Christmas Party
The December event was an online Christmas party, attended by 19 individuals/families. The event was opened by Jason, our trustee, with a special Christmas message. Everyone enjoyed a game of Christmas Rock n Roll bingo, followed by the opportunity to chat in smaller groups. The event ended with a Christmas disco. There were lots of fabulous Christmas jumpers and everyone had a good time.

## Parents’ Chats
We continued to hold our regular bi-monthly online parents chats. Average attendance for the year is six parents/carers per session. We are pleased these chats continue to attract new people. The closed parents’ Facebook group continues to be well used by parents and currently has 100 members.
## Volunteer Events
We held three online events for volunteers. The April and June events offered a chance to find out more about our charity and the volunteering opportunities available. The July event was specifically for those attending the national weekend.
## Midlands’ Planning Events
We held two online events in February 2025 for anyone interested in getting involved with future events in the Midlands. This was a response to enquiries from several members about 1Voice events in the region.

## Newsletter and publicity
We increased the regularity of our contact with members and issued e-newsletters in April, May, July and November 2024, and in January and March 2025. We also issued additional email reminders for local events etc. We continue to work on our communications and are working towards streamlining our information sharing, particularly photo and file storage, website and email set-up.
During October AAC awareness month, we posted and tweeted every day, sharing items of interest related to 1Voice and AAC more generally.
We continue to work on our website which is now much more attractive and user friendly. We can track traffic and responses to our posts to better understand our members’ interaction with our posts, and where views are coming from.
## Representation at Events
1Voice is a member of the Speech, Language and Communication Alliance (SLCA). This is a group of voluntary and community service organisations who have expertise and knowledge of children’s speech, language and communication. Our co-chair has continued to attend meetings online. On 5 February 2025, two of our trustees attended the launch event at the Houses of Parliament, accompanied by one of our members who shared their views of speech and language support as an AAC user. Our patron, Beth Moulam, also attended.

## **Trustees’ report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
We have also maintained close links with Communication Matters (CM), the UK Chapter of ISAAC (International Society of Augmentative and Alternative Communication), a world-wide organisation promoting the best possible communication for people with complex communication needs. We highly value the collaboration with Communication Matters and will continue to develop this for our mutual benefit. We have pursued collaboration possibilities relating to the CM Communication Club Project.
We chose not to submit an abstract for the 2024 CM Conference. However, to ensure we still had a presence at the conference, we placed an advert in the conference programme for the first time and shared a stand with the CM mentoring project in the Exhibition Hall. It was felt that this was a good way to engage with our stakeholders.
## Fundraising
Our national residential weekend represents our most significant cost and therefore, trustees’ efforts once again focussed on raising funds to contribute towards this expenditure. We were successful in receiving a grant of £14,801 from the National Lottery Community Fund, specifically for funding towards the national weekend.
We are incredibly grateful to have been nominated as charity of the year for the Antrobus Golf Club. £3k was donated from a fundraising golf day and we received a cheque for £3.7k at the end of the year for the balance of the fundraising money. In addition, we want to thank Liz (Lady Captain) for all her fundraising efforts. Her wing walk raised almost £1.5k. Also, as a direct result of the club’s fundraising efforts, we received a donation of £5k from the Geoffrey & Pauline Martin Trust.
The remaining in year donations represent smaller one-off donations. We are grateful to the organisations and individuals who raise and donate money to enable 1Voice to continue its activities.
The trustees recognise that there is still a need to secure funding for ongoing general administration costs and for future events. Fundraising will once again become a priority in the next financial year. We are delighted to have secured four charity places in the TCS London Marathon for the years 2026 to 2029.
## Future Strategy
It is a challenge to find specialist spaces large enough to accommodate everyone who wants to come to the residential weekend. We continue to explore ways to continue to support our older, more established members; to expand our network of regional events to support more AAC users more regularly; and attract younger AAC users and their families.
We will replace the national weekend in 2025 with three one-day events – West Yorkshire, Bournemouth and West Midlands.
We plan to work with the Cranfield Trust to review our current strategy and help shape our plans for the medium-term.
We use our Annual General Meeting in November to engage with our members and to share our future plans. Although members and interested parties are encouraged to get in touch throughout the year.

## **Trustees’ report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £5,236. This included net income of £5,236 on unrestricted funds. There was no overall movement on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year-end were £21,097. Of these reserves, £3,517 has been designated for use by local branches. These reserves have been generated by donations to individual branches and have been set aside for their use accordingly. Unless there are any legal restrictions on the use of any donations, the trustees have decided that funds raised by local branches are designated for their use to hold local events. It has been agreed that if any branch is known to be inactive, the balance has not moved within three years and there is no expectation that the funds will be used soon, then the designation of these funds will be removed and the money made available for general charitable expenditure.
The level of reserves and the purposes for which they are designated are set out in the notes to the financial statements. The other designated amounts are £3,000 designated to the consultancy costs for social media and marketing support, £2,000 for the role model programme and £3,886 to cover venue deposits for a future annual national weekend and other events. The rest of the reserves, £9,722, are to ensure that there are sufficient funds to cover commitments over six months, should the charity cease to secure funding and operate. The level of reserves is reviewed from time to time by the trustees, with reference to Charity Commission guidelines, to consider whether they remain appropriate.

## **Trustees’ report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts 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 the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and 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 accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of 1Voice – Communicating Together for the year ended 31 March 2025**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 10 to 16.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1Voice – Communicating Together **Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. There have been no changes to the accounting policies since the last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

The trustees have agreed a policy that funds raised by local branches will be designated for local branch use and if these designated branch balances have not moved within three years and there is no expectation that they will be used in the future, these funds will be re-designated to the funds as general funds, unless there is a legal restriction on the use of the funds.
It was agreed to re-designate some of the funds in the year for social media/marketing external support.
