Basingstoke and District Disability Forum CIO
Welcome from our Chair
Impact statement for the financial year ending 31st March 2025 for Basingstoke & District Disability
Forum (BDDFI. The Report and Accounts have been prepared on an accruals bas15.
Our services have provided directsupportto Disabled people, while BDDF has extended our reach by
hosting events and groups that connect more with local charities and organisations committed to
SUPPOrting the Disabled community. As demand forthese services continues to rise-driven by an
ageing population, economic pressures, and sustained strain on the charitable sector-we remain
steadfast in our mission. We are committed to listening to our members, increasing our impact, and
growing our membership to ensure we reach and support more Disabled individuals across
Basingstoke and Deane.
We are pleased to report that BDDF has successfully secured funding for several key initiatives. We
extend our sincere gratitude to all ourfunders fortheir generosity and continued confidence in our
mission. We acknowledge the invaluable contributions of National Lottery and People's Postcode
Lottery players, whose supportwill enable the deliveryof vital programmes overthe next five years.
Additional fundraising efforts have further strengthened our work. Highlights include hosting a
children's activity stall at the Basingstoke Transport Festival in May 2024, organised by the
Basingstoke and Deane Rotary Club, and conducting multiple collection drives at local supermarkets
such as Morrison's and Tesco. These artivities not only generate funds but also enhance public
engagement and raise awareness of BDDF'S impact within the wider community.
The Board of Trustees met ten times during this financial period, with several members actively
contributing to the delivery of events and Servi￿5. To sustain this momentum and support our
continued growth, we recognise the need to expandtheTrustee board and welcome new members
who share our commitment to the organisation's mission.
On behalf of Basingstoke & District Disability Forum, we extend oursincere appreciation to all whose
dedication and professionalism continue to Shape 8DDF into the valued organisation it is today. We
also acknowledge the vital contributions of our charity partners, supporters, and volunteers. Most
importantly, we thank our growing membership. BDDF'S work is made possible by the continued
support of the Basingstoke and Deane community, to whom we remain deeply grateful.

Who we are:
BDDF was formed in 2(N)8 to supportthe local disabled communwty. When BDDF formed, there was
no clear organisation representingthe general disabilitycommunity of Basingstoke. There was a gap
in the accessibility of services available, as well as a lack of inclusion or opportunities for Disabled
people. BDDF was founded by a group of residents with lived experience of disabilities with the aim
of supporting the community, giving a voice and addressing the stigma. We achieved registered
th
th
Charity status in 2014. We celebrated our 10 Birthday as a registered charity on 6 February 2024.
Our Vision:
To create a community that sees the person, values the difference, and embraces awareness.
Our Mission:
To facilitate increased awareness, active involvementand healthy promotion of Disabled people and
their impairments and health conditions.
Our Aim:
To promote both visible and invisible disability. By increasing awareness, providing information and
bringing people together. BDDF partners and collaborates with fellow disability charities/groups and
provides guidance to local businesses who are striving to be accessible and inclusive.
Strategic Objertives:
l. Involvement- to improve the involvement and representation of Disabled people and their
families/carers within Basingstoke.
2. Promotion - to promote greater awareness of disability through initiatives and activities that
champion inclusivity, understanding, and reduce barriers.

Basingstoke and District Disability Forum CIO
3. Partnerships- To improve partnership working between agencies, both voluntary sector and
statutory, that are involved in supporting disability.
Operational Objectives:
l. Impmve themental andphysical well-being of people wtth Disabilities in Basingstoke.
2. Tackle feelings of loneliness andreducesociol isolation within the disabled community.
3. Increase knowledge amongst people with disabilities and the wider disabled community
about support services available, both directly through BDDF and signposting to other local
charities and organisations.
Our Strategy:
BDDF set a clear strategyand structure to help everyone understand who BDDF are and what we do.
We have split ourselves into 4 key focus areas as follows:
l. Access- digital and physical (tackling the digital divide and escalating physical b3rriersl
2. Financial Inclusion- benefits, debt, job and employment advice
3. Diversity& Inclusion-appreciating intersectionality and proactively interacting with groups
representing other minority groups, such as via the local Hate Crime Network
4. Mental & Physical health-this include5 our direct Services such as Chronic Pain and helping
people to find information and advice to support their needs and reduce barriers.
All of which helps us to better reflect the Vol￿ of the local disabled community.
Increasing Demand in Local Area:
BDDF follows the definition consistent with the Equality Act 2010. A person is considered disabled if
they have a self-reported long-standing illness, condition, or impairment which causes difficulty with
day-to-day activities.
BDDF is committed to offering a programme of core services that are relevant, impactful, and
empowering to support those individuals and their familie5, carers and employers.
From the 2021 census:
23% of the UK population identified as having a disabilty.
The population of Basingstoke and Deane was 185.2CM) people.
27,778 Disabled people living in Basingstoke and Deane.
5.7% of Basingstoke and Deane residents were identified as being disabled and limited a lot
in daily activities.

Digital Divide and Paper-based Resources
Digital exclusion is affecting our communities, and the move to technology triggered by the
pandemic is deepeningthe divide.
Independence is heavily reliant on access to information, and with more information than ever
before being online, we must break down the barriers and reduce the digital gap.

Basingstoke and District Disability Forum CIO
BDDF swiftly moved services online where possible, created a more accessible website and
established IT support sessions to help our members get online. However, there is still a vast
proportion of members who cannot access the internet or have the knowledge to be able to
research information on the internet. The Digital Divide remains a key barrier for many of our
members, so BDDF continues to focus on digital inclusivity. Our main donations were given to us for
printing a booklet of information, advice and services in the local community. This is for people who
f ind it diff icult to research information online.
This is why paper-based resources are important to our members. and consequently why BDDF
created a signposting and information magazine called "Be Included Basingstoke" IBIBI which
contains written information about local support services in Hampshire regarding disabilities and
mental health. Two issues of the BIB were prodU￿d between March 2024 and 2025, with a third
special f inancial edition in progress.
Our Survey- Giving Disabled People a Voice
The 2024 edition of the BDDF survey was opened in April 2024 and subsequently received 38
responses. Results showed that almost 61Ykn of our members struggle to some degree with social
isolation, and respondents rate their life satisfaction lower than the national average. Members
reported issues in daily life including physical access problems, discrimination, and denial of se rvice .
Happily, those who can engage with BDDF services in some capacity report higher life satisfaction
and feelings that things they do are worthwhile, and lowersocial isolation scores. BDDF will survey
members annually going forward and act on feedback. The key takeaway from this survey was that
members wanted more social interaction, and this has been acted upon thanks to the generous
funding we received from the National Lottery Community Fund.
Our Awareness Events & Community Collaboration:
Supporting our community through partnerships that deliver innovattve projects that focus upon
improving health and well-being.
Disabili
Awareness Da
DAD
On Friday 2P, June 2024. BDDF hosted its annual Disability Awareness Day. Open to the public from
9.30am to 3pm in The Malls Shoppingcentre. With our key aims being to provide information, offer
advice and raise awareness.
This event has previously been held in April, but the last two years were very cold forthose who
were seated for a long period of time and so we agreed to move the date to a warmer month such
asjune.
Around 35 local organisations joined BDDF each of whom provide Se￿iceS for Disabled people.
Volunteers and staff were on hand to answerquestions on a wide range of topics including benefits,
transport, health, housing, education, sports and more !
The Disability Awareness Day is ourflagship event to healthily promote both visible and non-visible
disability. By increasing awareness, providing information and bringing people together.

Basingstoke and District Disability Forum CIO
We gave out many of our latest edition of our'Be Included Basingstoke, magazines and canvas bags
with our BDDF logo on.
The Digital divide has had a huge impact on our members and the wider Disabled community.
Getting the right information at the right time helps to make informed choices and by having the
many differentgroupsand charities in one place, together,the event allowed us all to provide direct
face to face support as well as forging many new connections and deepening the local Disabled
community network. Thank you to all who came.

Films to Schools
Prior to Covid, our'Films to Schoo15' programme took several disability awareness films created by
BDDF into local primary schools to teach children a Itttle more about disability and provide an
interactive workshop. The session5 have now been reworked and relaunched. and we have now
delivered: a pilot school session in November 2024, a Cub's group in February 2025, and three
further school visits in February and March 2025. The sessions have received extremely positive
feedback, and we aim to do two visits most months (school holidays considered) going forward. We
would like to thank the schools and groupsthat have generously welcomed usforthese sessions and
hope they have been useful.
