**Ruby's Fund** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28th February 2023** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28th February 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives of the charity** 

To provide recreational, educational and leisure activities for (but not limited to) individuals of all ages with additional physical, mental and/or needs including (but not limited to) providing a multisensory studio, soft play area, educational classes, respite and social support group afforded by way of fundraising through various methods including (but not limited to) the design, manufacture and sale of products and the operation of a café. The charity operates within and for residents of Cheshire East. 

Ruby's Fund began in 2008 when Alison Parr, our Founder, identified a lack of support for children with special educational needs and disabilities and their families when she had her daughter Ruby. Ruby was born with a rare chromosome disorder called IDIC 15. Ruby's Fund was a registered charity in 2009 and became a charitable company in 2013. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees adhere to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The objects of the charity are addressed through multiple avenues. Ruby's Fund supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families and carers who face challenges and barriers due to disability in Cheshire East. We run an inclusive sensory centre in Congleton with specialist, accessible facilities, and outreach support services and sessions including an outreach service with an accessible mobile sensory vehicle across Cheshire East. Our aim is to improve the overall physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of our children and their families. 

As a organisation we are constantly looking to develop a wide variety of inclusive activities and experiences for  families. Our Congleton lunch club sessions are well attended and subsequently have expanded into Crewe. These are extremely popular. They provide an opportunity for parents and carers of children with mixed abilities to enjoy peer support in a relaxed and sociable environment. We have started drop-in support groups for families in Sandbach and Macclesfield. Working in partnership with the SEND Health Visitors, we have also been running a signposting drop-in session in Alsager. 

Children, young people, parents and carers do not need a formal diagnosis to access Ruby's Fund and can self-refer. We as an organisation are not just here for the children, we are also here to help and support the family as a whole unit providing information signposting, resources and support opportunities. As part of this, we offer monthly family social sessions in Congleton and Crewe and parent/carer coffee mornings. 

We run an inclusive sensory centre in Congleton with specialist, accessible facilities which include a sensory room, soft play zone, community café, sensory garden, games room, therapy room, The Pink Pod (1:2:1 room) and staff offices. We offer outreach support services and session which include an outreach service with an accessible mobile sensory vehicle across Cheshire East. 

In October 2021 Ruby's Fund had to close the community café due to the pandemic. As we navigated our way through this challenging period, we were able to partially reopen our community café for children with special educational needs and disabilities and their families and carers following local and national government guidance on Covid. 

We have worked in partnership with other third sector charities and organisations. These organisations include Cheshire & Warrington Carers Trust, Smile Group, SWANS, CESAP, CECVS, Wishing Well, Autism Inclusive, Cheshire East Parent Carer Forum, NHS CCG, Cheshire East Council and My Babytime.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Like many other organisations, we have faced challenges as the pandemic has continued to present the need to be creative and adaptable in our approach to service delivery and income generation. This year, like the previous year presented us with a growing demand for our expertise, services and facilities. 

## Our services: 

We continued with our adapted model of working in response to the pandemic and ran a varied timetable of sessions, activities, and workshops. 

From March 2022 to February 2023 we ran: 

- Short Breaks for children with emerging or diagnosed needs aged 0-8 years old continued to be commissioned by Cheshire East Council to provide 35 termtime after school sessions, 12 weekend short break sessions, 20 holiday short break sessions, 20 Saturday Club sessions, one to one short breaks at Ruby's Fund for Children with SEND ages 0-8 years, which were adapted to virtual and doorstep sessions when required.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28th February 2023** 

- Baby & You is a weekly session that was set up as a direct response to new parents and their babies who were facing social isolation and were at risk of low mental health and wellbeing. The sessions include wellbeing zoom sessions and face to face sessions including peer support and learning of skills such as baby massage and baby yoga. 

- Parent Carer wellbeing sessions ran virtually, face to face and even by sending little goody packs out in the post. We delivered goody bags to Macclesfield hospital children's ward at Christmas as parent carers are often forgotten at this time. 

- Volunteer Family support was commissioned by Cheshire East council to offer volunteer support to families who  were being 'stepped down' from support by the local authority. Our coordinators trained and matched volunteers with families to provide them low level support equalling 448 hours of support.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28th February 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Statement from Founder** 

We never expected the pandemic to impact our lives in the way it has and for it still to be affecting our daily lives. In the previous year we adapted our working model, and this became our new normal for the team at Ruby's Fund and for the families we support. 

The year has continued to present new challenges which the team dealt with professionalism and team spirt ensuring that services to our children and families continued with minimal disruption. 

As in previous years I cannot write this statement without saying thank you to the children, young people and families that we support at Ruby's Fund. It isn't always an easy journey but we are always there for our families through the highs and lows of their journey. We are immensely proud and privileged to be part of their journey. 

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Board for volunteering 720 hours of their time and expertise so generously to oversee the smooth running of the charity. 

## **Final word from our Chairperson** 

During 2022-23 we were still feeling the impact of the pandemic as a charity, country and world. In the previous year we had to make some difficult decisions such as closing the café. Although this was the right financial decision for us as a charity it was a sad decision as our café was the heartbeat of our centre. What we didn't expect was the overwhelming demand on our family support services. The closure of the café allowed us to focus entirely on this support to families when they needed it the most. We have managed to partially reopen the café to support SEND families and look forward to 2023-24 when we hope to fully reopen this much-loved community asset. 

Our staff have continued to adapt and respond to the challenges that the pandemic has brought with it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and volunteers at Ruby's Fund for their continued hard work and dedication. 

I would also like to thank the local community, organisations, funders and businesses for their continued support of Ruby's Fund. Their support in volunteer hours, donations and words of support have been appreciated beyond measure. Without such support we would not be able to support the children and families in the way that we do.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ruby's Fund** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ruby's Fund ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 28th February 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 2011 ('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** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

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.
