Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted

Trustees’ annual report (including Directors’ report) for the period

From: 1 April 2024 To: 31 March 2025

Charity name: Wirral Society of the Blind and Partially Sighted

Charity registration number: 1147170

Company number: 07982870

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the charity are to provide services, facilities and support to blind and partially sighted people in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, for public benefit. We promote and encourage self-help and independence by empowering people and removing the barriers they face.

The Society provides a wide range of services and facilities to address the needs of our clients, including the following:

-A Resource Centre equipped with low vision and daily living aids -Outreach Support service -Advocacy Service -Drop in support -Creative and Social activities -Computer technology training courses -Audio Book Library -Hospital Liaison service based at The University Teaching Hospital -Service user support groups

The Society is named 'Of the Blind and Partially Sighted'. This gives ownership to those requiring and using our services. We work with our clients to ensure we meet the needs of the group of people we support.

The trustees are aware of the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and consider that the purposes of the charity are for the public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Over the past 12 months, the charity has made significant and measurable progress in the delivery of its services. This has been achieved through the continued development of both new and existing projects, supported by funding from grant making trusts, Local Authority partnerships, and NHS contracts.

Growing demand for our services has been consistently evidenced through monthly performance reports, which demonstrate sustained increases in uptake across key areas of provision. This rising demand reflects both the quality and relevance of our work, as well as the increasing needs within the communities we serve.

In response, the charity has initiated a number of new and innovative projects designed to enhance capacity, strengthen outcomes, and extend our reach across Wirral. These developments have positioned the organisation for continued growth and enabled us to provide timely, effective support to a wider range of individuals and families.

Staff Expansion and Strategic Development

Thanks to the generous support of the Henry Smith Charity, the organisation has expanded its Advocacy Support staff team, significantly strengthening our ability to respond to the growing needs of the community. This expansion has been crucial in supporting people with sight loss who are facing complex challenges as a result of changing life circumstances, enabling the delivery of more timely, responsive, and personalised support.

In addition, funding from the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust has enabled the delivery of a tailored programme of activities and support focused on improving health and wellbeing. This programme has led to increased participation in activities that promote both emotional and physical wellbeing, supporting individuals to remain active, connected, and engaged within their communities.

Volunteer-Led Outreach Service

A successful application to the National Lottery Awards for All enabled the charity to further develop its volunteer led outreach service. This two year initiative is now entering its final six months and has demonstrated strong and positive progression throughout its delivery.

The outreach service has played a vital role in extending the charity’s reach, particularly within harder to reach areas across Wirral, ensuring that individuals who may otherwise experience barriers to access are supported. The success of this project has established a strong foundation for further development, and the charity remains committed to building on this work to expand outreach provision in the future.

Children and Young People’s Services

Our work with children and young people has continued to flourish over the past year. Funding from a range of sources, including Children in Need and The Powel Family Trust, has enabled the charity to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving challenges, needs, and aspirations of young beneficiaries.

Over the past twelve months, we have worked closely alongside children and young people to build trusted and effective relationships. This collaborative approach has ensured that services are responsive, supportive, and tailored, helping young people to navigate key transitions and stages of their lives with confidence and resilience. We are grateful to have received additional funding from the P.H. Holt Foundation this year. Working with a partner organisation, this will enable us to expand our provision in supporting young people into training and employment.

Community Support and Partnerships

The charity continues to benefit from strong support and encouragement from independent funders at both national and local levels, statutory bodies, and corporate partners. Our strength and resilience are reflected in the

collaborative relationships developed with partners, funders, members, and volunteers, and we are extremely grateful for their continued commitment and support.

We continue to work closely with Wirral NHS Trust and maintain a contract with Wirral Borough Council, strengthening links with wider community and healthcare providers. These partnerships are essential in establishing clear and effective pathways of support, enabling increased referrals and improved access to services for people across Wirral.

Future Outlook

WSBPS has always adopted a forward-thinking approach to service provision. While the charity has historically been successful in securing grant funding and support from local agencies, we recognise that the funding landscape is changing rapidly. In response, we are developing internal systems and mechanisms to identify wider funding opportunities and diversify fundraising activity, supporting long-term sustainability.

Our ethos is rooted in working with, rather than for, our beneficiaries. We actively listen to and incorporate their views and experiences into service design and delivery, ensuring meaningful engagement and effective communication. Our mission remains to make a positive difference in the lives of people with sight loss, empowering individuals to focus on their strengths, influence positive change, and live independent and fulfilling lives.

Conclusion

The past year has been one of significant growth and development for the charity. We have expanded and strengthened our services, increased capacity, expanded our partnerships, and laid strong foundations for future sustainability.

We remain fully committed to our mission and are sincerely grateful for the continued support of our funders, partners, volunteers, and the wider community. Together, we will continue to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of those we serve.

Financial review

Balancing the income, whether from funding and grants or from unrestricted donations, with the expenditure of the society is always a challenge. Whilst a significant portion of income is restricted to specific known activities and their associated costs, some day to day running costs are covered by donations and legacies, which are much harder to anticipate and budget for.

A deficit this year of £9,000 is the result mainly of lower unrestricted donations. A significant increase in specific funding, on the other hand, has allowed the society to expand its services, and fund some much needed repair work, improvements in IT systems and HR support.

Reserves at 31 March 2025 are £92,039, and this is anticipated to represent approximately six months’ worth of necessary ongoing costs.

Forecasts for the coming year are positive, with further funding already secured in order to continue the services provided to the community. But it is, as always, crucial that funding is continually sought, and the employees and volunteers are working hard to achieve this.

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 March 2012 and registered as a charity on 9 May 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law, and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: Offsetting Grants and donations Legacies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Donated goods Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
