## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

Special Stars Foundation provides a diverse and vibrant range of inclusive opportunities for people with learning and physical disabilities who cannot access mainstream activities. 

We aim to reduce social isolation, provide meaningful experiences, build confidence and develop new skills. We also offer a variety of learning opportunities, advice and support services for parent carers. 

We have a large sensory room, which is fully wheelchair accessible with the provision of a mobile hoist, ensuring it is suitable for all ages and abilities. This fantastic facility is open to all residents across the Hull and East Yorkshire region. 

In addition, we have recently developed a specialist shop which stocks sensory toys, communication aids, learning resources and specialist equipment. The shop was designed with disabled people in mind but is also open to the general public. The main aim of our shop is to provide disabled people with easy access to good quality specialist products at affordable prices. The small profit made in our shop goes back into our charity to support the continuation of our inclusive activities and support services. 

The year reported has been a period of change following Trustees reporting a serious incident to the Charity Commission. Details of the investigation and Lessons Learned exercise can be found in the Achievement and Performance section of the report. 

## **VOLUNTEERING** 

During the financial year ending March 2023, we were supported by volunteers who provided additional staffing resources to enable us to deliver many of the sessions above. 

The support provided by volunteers is broken down as:

In March 2023, there were several social media public postings of private historical conversations between former Special Stars Foundation employees which were of a derogatory nature regarding service users. Trustees immediately reported this to the Charity Commission and statutory services as a serious incident then recognising the input required for an internal investigation and the level of support needed by the internal staff team, employed an experienced Interim CEO for an initial period of 6 months to lead this next chapter. The investigation took place from April to August 2023 working in full cooperation with statutory services and was followed by a Lessons Learned exercise. The lessons learned included the need for stronger professional boundaries between the operating team and board of Trustees, the need for greater collaboration as an organisation working in the disabilities sector and also increased support to drive confidence for the internal team. By working together the Trustees and internal team have a programme of implementing these changes thereby strengthening the organisation ongoing.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the aim of the trustees to retain six months running costs (£60,000) in the unrestricted general fund to ensure a significant buffer to enable effective financial decision-making, rather than short term decisions. Following a number of successful grant applications the Charity has now achieved and exceeded this aim. A programme of ongoing  fundraising is in place to ensure this position is maintained into the future. 

The charity currently holds total funds of £486,123 (2022 - £353,273) of which £119,591 (2022 - £208,243) is restricted and £366,532 (2022 - £145,030) is unrestricted. 

## **Principle Funding Sources** 

See note 7 of the notes to the accounts for a detailed explanation of the charity's restricted funds. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Please see main objectives for the following year. 

In summary the charity plans to continue to provide workshops to engage the community across Hull & East Yorkshire. This will be through workshops which aim to reduce social isolation, build confidence and develop new skills for  people with learning and physical disabilities. Equally important is the provision of learning opportunities, advice and support for those for parents and carers. As well as the continued provision of the sensory room to residents of Hull & East Yorkshire and the shop that provides high quality sensory products generating funds to be re-invested into the charity. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document**

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Special Stars Foundation** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Special Stars Foundation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Special Stars Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set  out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

Income received for services provided is accounted for on an accruals basis. 

Cash donations, gifts and legacies are included in full in the income and expenditure account as they are received. Any significant non-cash donations are included in the income and expenditure account at the trustees' estimate of their market value when received. The value of voluntary help is not included in the accounts. 

Grants and other funding of a revenue nature are deferred and released to the income and expenditure account over the period to which they relate. 

Shop Income comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the company's activities. The income is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts. 

Fundraising income is included in full in the income and expenditure account as it is received. 

Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on an accruals basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Improvements to property - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on reducing balance 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and  slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. The charity registered for VAT in March 2021, the only costs subject to VAT are any costs relating to shop activities and events. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

**Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Fund accounting** 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Financial instruments and estimates and judgements** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measure at their settlement value. 

## **Estimates and judgements** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Trustees' best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The Trustees do not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.
