## **Achievements and Performance**
## Finances
We started the year (counted from November 2023-31st October 2024 for the purposes of this report) in a really difficult financial position as a charity. Our bank balance was getting very close to the point where we felt we may need to serve notice to our staff and families and close the club. This came about for a number of reasons- the hangover from Covid 19 eating up our reserves, failing to gain long-term funding and the ever-increasing prices of our outgoings due to the cost of living crisis. In November 2023, we decided to give ourselves one more month to try and gain some more funding and keep going. We found that some large grant providers were not able to approve our applications due to our decreasing bank balance and the uncertainty of our longevity.
With the absolute determination not to see our much-loved club go under, staff, volunteers, committee, our general manager and supporters from our community worked so hard to gain extra funds. We were granted several small grants and gained many donations through sponsored events, fundraisers and kind one-off donations. We were successful in gaining a large grant from Activities Unlimited and our general manager has worked closely with them in order to make sure we continue to meet the criteria for this. This, and the other grants, fundraising and donations we received, really saved our club and allowed us to continue making a difference to our members and community. We feel fortunate to have received ongoing support from the many donors who have kept us afloat when we thought we were going under. To all of those involved in the extreme efforts involved in gaining funds for our club, we sincerely thank you. As the year progressed, we watched our funds slowly climbing to a much healthier position. As a charity, we could not continue without these donations. We are forever grateful to those who help us to make an impact in the lives of our members, their families and the wider community.
Our sincerest gratitude goes out to those who donated to us in 2024:
The organisers of the Cedars Park Christmas event, AJ’s Legacy, Red Gables Stowmarket, TK Maxx Foundation, our members who took part in our Fun Run and The Playground- with thanks to The Playground Bury St Edmunds, The Barnes Group, Dulux, Thurston Parish Council, Suffolk Community Grants, Simon Gibson, SJP Foundation, Tudwick Foundation, Postcode Trust, Asda Stowmarket, Stowmarket Town Council, Revenue Grant, Crain, Felixstowe Port Users Association, our parents/carers, members, friends and families who have chosen us as their charity to donate to, those attending our quiz and anniversary events- with thanks to Russell for organising these. We also thank those committee members who have spent hours completing applications and securing funding from grant providers in order for us to continue making a difference.

A special thanks to our long-standing supporters, the Stowmarket and District Lions Club and Activities Unlimited who continue to support us in 2025.
For ten years, we have kept our membership fees the same. We did this because we wanted to keep our club as accessible as possible when everyone is struggling to make ends meet. However, we found ourselves in a position where we would face closure if we didn’t look to increase our income. The committee reviewed other clubs in the area and considered the membership fees carefully with all of the above in mind. It was decided to increase our fees slightly in order to help us continue to meet our outgoings (from April 2024). We didn’t receive any complaints about this and we feel our members’ families understood our reasons behind this decision.
With the national minimum wage increase from April 2024, our committee agreed to increase staff wages to make sure everyone was paid at least the national living wage, with the mind to revisit this again when long-term funding is hopefully gained.
## Our Clubs
## Saturday Club
We had an incredible year with lots of fun activities and events, creating lots of new social opportunities for the members. Hide and seek has become one of the most popular group games- watching the members ask others if they want to join in is magical!
One of the highlights for the year was seeing the imaginative and group activities that the members created themselves with the box of donated cups- they built dens, towers and obstacles and created games, structures and projects for many sessions.
Some other fun activities we completed included different edible sensory trays- ice, rice, pasta, cereal, dough, etc. We had many fun, creative projects allowing members to be individual with materials such as clay, wax, bread, chocolate slabs and foam. We tried new sports like mini golf, cricket, gymnastics, dodgeball, football and more. Other fun activities included: a water fight, a picnic, a lizard visit, a bug hunt, den building, a scavenger hunt and much more!
## Youth Club
Some Youth Club highlights: We made Chinese themed food and crafts to celebrate the Lunar New Year. For Autism Awareness Day, the group wrote what Autism means to them and we created a display. We were extremely lucky to receive some incredible boat building kits that were made and donated by The Meadlands Men's Shed. Our young people had great fun using tools and glue to build their own boats. We enjoyed getting messy making slime and experimenting with different flavours while making ice-cream sundaes! We had our trip to The Rec, each member packed up their own picnic before we left the club, then we walked to The Rec where we enjoyed some group games and our food. Halloween was a busy session with lots of different Halloween themed crafts and cooking! On top of all this, each session included fun and imaginative group games for everyone to join in with. We also had some fantastic D&D sessions which were a great hit!
## Plus Club
We had an amazing year full of different adventures and experiences for our members. We went to indoor gokarting, Thetford Forest, Pleasurewood Hills, a gaming lounge and trampolining. We have been travelling using Dan’s Coaches and using public transport. We encourage our members to join in with each aspect of using public transport, to help us with planning our days out, to socialise with our group and also to manage their own money. Plus Club has been such a success for our young people this year and developing their independance.
## Wellbeing
Our one-year funding for our well-being initiative (which included our parent cafe) came to an end and the committee discussed how we should move forward with this beyond the funding. It was decided that the role of Well-being Ambassador had become an essential part of our provision and it was agreed to keep this member of staff in position moving forward and they were making such a positive contribution to the members, families, staff and volunteers.

## _…..............Continued_
During sessions, we have been scrapbooking and learning the art of journaling for mindfulness with Youth Club, which has been incredible. The members have even taken them home and brought them back to share what they’ve done. We’ve also been writing lyrics/poems with both Saturday Club and Youth Club- these have been beautiful and a positive indirect way for the children and young people to share. We’ve been exploring areas of struggle and strategies that we all use to manage, for members, volunteers and staff, who kindly shared these anonymously on Mental Health Awareness Day. With this information, we plan to respectfully share strategies and create ideas focusing on common struggles that were voiced.
Our parent cafe aimed to open up a safe space for parents and carers of those with SEND from the community (not just those linked to our members) to come and be able to share their experiences with others who would understand, ultimately reducing isolation and providing some peer-support. We found that running this on a Saturday day time was difficult for carers to attend and it was requested that we try an evening session. We moved to holding an evening session once a month in a local social enterprise bar. This has been really successful and we have seen such a huge range of topics discussed including school refusal, EHCPs, bedtime routines, eating habits, family gatherings, leaving the house, using public services and different sources of help and support. The feedback from these sessions has been 100% positive and carers have expressed how valued this element of our provision is. We have some regular attendees and some new faces at each meet too.
## Networking
We still have a strong professional relationship with the Leading Lives Community Hub where we run some of our sessions. We also still work regularly with Red Gables to host events and meetings in their buildings and to attend many of their charity events. We have been working alongside the Stowmarket and District Lions Club who are long-term supporters of our work and have really helped us with donations and planning fundraising events. We regularly share and signpost to other local organisations and sources of help; they do the same for us in return. This year we attended local festivals, providing a dark den for anyone feeling overwhelmed, as well as running fundraising stalls. Our members were given free access to this event. We also were able to attend a private viewing of the bluebell wood at Haughley Park- an event that can become very busy and overwhelming for our families to attend otherwise. Our general manager has attended several networking events, such as The Suffolk Parent Forum and The Crane Presentation in order to spread awareness of our services and establish links to other services.
## Bike Ability
We are lucky to have access to Bike Ability resources and explored these a few times during 2024. We hope to use them more in 2025. We had one member learn to ride a bike and a few others surprised themselves when they didn’t think they would be able to join in because they couldn't ride but with the adaptations they successfully moved around the garden area with the others. We can support our families in accessing them to use as a family or to help strengthen the members' bike riding ability.
## Sensory Library
The sensory library is a bank of small and large sensory items that we loan out to families in order for them to try out different items to see if they are of use, preventing families from wasting money on items that may not work for them. It is also so much more than this and much can be gained from talking to other carers and our committee members in attendance.
We held 13 sensory library drop-in sessions in 2024. We had visits from over 70 families, several professionals and made over 40 loans through our sensory library. We have also made further loans on an individual basis and the service continues to be in huge demand. This is run by volunteers from our committee and our general manager and is such an amazing service for our community.
## Committee
Our committee members have each given so much of their time to make sure we continue and we make the best choices for our members. They have worked so hard behind the scenes on grant applications, fundraisers, planning our events, networking and much more. We are grateful to have committee members who have given up their time and shared their knowledge with parents through the sensory library and parent café. The committee is made up of volunteers who work in many professional areas such as law, finance and education. We are fortunate that they bring their skills and knowledge to us and help guide how we run the club.

## Staff
Our General Manager, Leah, is incredible in her dedication to the role and to the club. She gives such thought to everything we do and ensures that we provide an inclusive, accessible and engaging club for all of our members. Staff and volunteers have worked so hard this year. They have shown kindness, creativity, understanding, commitment and enthusiasm. As we add more members into the club, we have increased our staff numbers and we are recruiting more volunteers. The team have worked well together and adapted well to new members being added. They have received a high level of extra training to help their performance in their roles and we have been glad to receive suggestions of new activities from them too. We plan to hold more social team-building events for staff and volunteers to help strengthen the team further.
## Volunteers
We have a great team of regular volunteers. Their support during sessions has been invaluable. We do see some movement in numbers of volunteers as they move to university or into work. We are working on increasing our volunteer numbers. The volunteers have received lots of training in order to help their professional development and we have supported them with applications to higher education and employment. We are so grateful for their help and input into what we do. Many of our volunteers have Autism themselves and their unique insight into what we do has been so helpful. Many of our members appreciate speaking to others who have some understanding of their experiences.
## 20th Anniversary Party
To celebrate the charity running for 20 years, we held our 20th anniversary party. This was such a great event to showcase all that we have achieved and included videos of past members saying how much the club had helped them and how it had prepared them for independence in their future lives. These testimonials were so heartwarming and affirming for all that we do. We also had an award ceremony at the event, celebrating some of the ‘heroes’ who have helped the club to be what it is today. The party was a really lovely way to bring our club community together and it was great to see past and present members, families, staff, volunteers, committee and supporters come together in celebration.
## Moving Forward
One of our priorities this year has been to increase the amount of members attending our sessions. We want to make as much of a difference as possible and we know that our services are vital to those who attend our club. We have had an extremely long waiting list for a very long time, which is testament to this. When members join our clubs, very few leave and so the spaces remain filled. We have to find a balance so that our sessions remain calm and our members are able to have the high standard of care that we pride ourselves in but also that there are new members being added so that we can provide a social atmosphere, with new friendships and connections being made. We have increased our membership numbers, going at a comfortable pace for our other members. In order to do this, we have employed more staff, gaining some funding for 1:1 support in order to make sure we are accessible to those with a high level of need. In the year ahead, we aim to continue to add members to make sure our registers are full, whilst still being sensitive to the needs of our current members. To do this, we will recruit new staff members and volunteers to allow our level of care to remain consistently high.
We were successful in gaining funding for a residential trip which we have started to plan and look forward to facilitating for our members.
We continue to focus on gaining funding and hope to secure some more long-term funding this year now that our accounts are starting to rebuild.
## **Financial Review**
We started the year with a bank balance of just £3.7k, which is less than one month's expenditure. During the year we had cash income of £110k and expenditure of £53k which amounted to a surplus of £56k. Last year our income was just £35k so this is a 210% increase. Expenditure in 2023 was £47k so our costs have increased by 13% . The closing bank balance on 31st October was £60k.

## **Stowmarket ASD Saturday Clubs**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2024**
## _…..............Continued_
Donations and grants in the year accounted for 85% of our income, some £94k. In 2023 donations and grants were £20k so we have seen an increase of 356% The largest amount came from Activities Unlimited £36k, followed by Mid Suffolk District Council £14k. A further 18 organisations contributed a total of £44k. Subscriptions of just over £13k accounted for 12% of our income and would cover 25% of our expenditure.
In terms of volume, over 90% of our receipts are from subscriptions. Subscriptions in 2023 were £10.5k so we have received 25% more over the course of the year. Fundraising activities came to £5.5k in the year which represents about 5% of our income and covers approximately 10% of our expenditure. Last year our fundraising brought in £4.8k so we have seen an increase of some 14%. In terms of expenditure, our largest outgoing are the wages, totalling £37.5k or 69.6% of our outlay.
Expenses accounted for a further £5k or 10% of our outgoings. Rent totalled £4.6k, 9% of our expenditure Event costs not already included in the expenses figure came to £3k with other expediture totalling a further £3k.
In summary, from a financial perspective it has been a very satisfying year, starting from a position of as close to closure as could be imagined to a position of relative health which should guarantee that the charity can continue for the foreseeable future.
## **Reserves**
Our reserve policy is reviewed annually at the AGM. We currently do not have any funds in our reserve fund as these were used up to keep us going during Covid Lockdowns and since then all funds have been used to pay for the core costs of running sessions. We are looking at building this reserve fund over the next year and it is looking as though this will be achievable in early 2025.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity is an unincorporated association, governed by model constitution as adopted on 27th June 2012 and amended 8th December 2012.
The charity is managed by the officers and other trustees, who are elected by the charity in general meeting. Each trustee is required to retire with effect from the conclusion of the annual general meeting next after their appointment but is eligible for re-election at that annual general meeting.

## **Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 31 October 2024**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 October 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 14 following.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the 2011 Act). The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
