ALVERN SPECIAL FAMILIES TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH Z025 OBJEcfivES AND ACnVITIES The key objective of Malvern Special Families is the provision of recreational opportunSties for families who have a child or young person with special needs which it meets by providing engaging and exciting activitles for the children and young people. In July 2024 we were forced to give up our use of the facility in Poolbrook Malvern as the site is designated for redevelopment as a specialist school for children with aut15m. Fortunately, we were able to combine the Poolbrook clubs with those at Fort Royal in Worcester, an amalgamation which was achieved smoothly. Saturday Clubs - These ofsted registered clubs take place for 5-11-year-olds three times a month at Fort Royal school Worcester during term time. A range of sensory, sports and art attivities are provided. Saturday clubs for 11-17-year-olds take place at Regency High school on two Saturdays a month during temi time. A range of activities are available including cookin& fitness, music and art. Youth clubs for 11-17-year-olds are held once a month community based in Malvern during term times. Activitie5 include trips, bowling, cinema and health and fitness. Summer play schemes of 20 days duration at two locations during the summer holidays. For children aged 5- 11 these take place at Fort Royal School, Worcester and for children aged 11-17 at Regency High School, Worcester. Activities include sensory, sport, art, cooking and music. In addition. a number of external trips are organised every summer to places such as farm parks, theatres and Safari parks. Additional holiday clubs: Providing the same activities as the summer play schemes these run for children aged 5-11 years at Fort Royal Primary School, Worcester during the October and February half term breaks and Easter holidays. For children aged 11-17 years clubs run at Regency High school during the October, February, May and Easter holidays. Evening Youth club.. This takes place at Malvern Vale Community Centre once 3 week during term time for children aged 11-17. The range of activities include 5POrts, money management, life skills and trips. After school clubs- These take place twice a week during term time for youn8 people aged 11-17 at Regency High School in Worcester. The range of activities include cookery, sensory, swimming, gym and art. ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE Mafvern Special Families have provided 2,491 plates for children with disabilitie5 over a total of 246 sessions. We also ran over 50 trips to places such as farm parks, theatre, bowling and safari parks. The positive outcomes of this provision have been to enable the Children to enjoy fun, educational and stimulating activitv which improve5 their health, well-being and independence ski115. The added benefits of providing our activitie5 to so many children are that it enables their parents and carers to have much needed short breaks. It was very disappointing to suffer a 23% reduction In funding by WCC12025 - £150,834, 2024- £195,186) in the year. The Trustees decided to utilize the charity's reserves to fund many of the places which otherwise would have been lost. Consequently, the number of places provided during the year is 2,491 and was limited to 2% le5S than the previous year12024- 2,5431. Notwithstanding the funding difficulties we continue to work hard to provide the best possible outcomes for children with learning disabilities and additional complex needs. and work closely with Worcestershire County Council and their contracted management company for groups and activities, Sutton Croft. We acknowledge with thank5 the continuing 5UPPOrt of Regency High School. Worcester and Fort Royal primary school, Worcester who enable us to Use their excellent facilities specifically designed for children with complex needs. Page 3

MALVERN SPECIAL FAMILIE5 TRUSTEES AND DIRE￿ORs REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Our thanks also go to Malvern Vale community Centre for the invaluable use of their p￿MIseS for our youth groups. FINANCIAL REVIEW Malvern Special Families had income of £257,26412024 £334,257) and a deficit of £54,34812024 surplus £35,785) in the year. The charity has free resetves of £75.036 at 31st March 202512024 £121,531). As previously mentioned. we work closely with worcestershi￿ County Council with council funding accounting for £150,83412024 £195,1861. Revenue grants and donations from non- public bodies were £47,11412024 £89.3401. Notable funding came from The Bailey Thomas charitable fund £20,000. Children in Need £18,961, ZX Lidars £7,000, True Colours Trust £7,000. Given that much of the charitable funds are not guaranteed and must be re-applied for each year the trustees recognise that healthy reserves are required whilst at the same time seeking new opportunities to improve the lives of children and their families. The trustees ore of the view that MSF should maintain on average reserves equating to 25% of anticipated costs. The board of trustees is Satisfied that the charity assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil obligations in respect of each fund. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS Given the redurtion in funding from WCC which we have to assume will not improve in the near future M5F has to face the reality of limiting the number of places it can offer unless further external funding can be Secured. It will not be possible to fund existing service levels solely from reserves. Fortunately, Children in Need have committed to further funding of £87,000 over the next two and a half years. Every effort will be made to maintain future service levels. Due to the proposed re-development of the Poolbrook Centre, Malvem, into a school for children with aut15m we delivered our last club for the foreseeable future at Poolbrook for 5-11-year-old children in July 2024. We are in discussion with Worcestershire County Council. the Department for Education and Mcintyre Academies (who will be responsible for the new school) to ensure Malvern Special Families have the DPPOrtunity to utilise the new facilities once the school has been built. As the completion date is unlikely to be before September 2027, we continue to ￿Search alternative suitable premises in Malvern to ensure the objective of running clubs in both Malvern and Worcester. We are continuing to campaign for accessible play equipment in Priory Park Malvern so that children, regardless of their disabilities, can play in the park. STRUCTURE.
