WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
It gives us great pleasure to present WSPCF’s annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 st March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association , the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
The charitable purposes of West Sussex Parent Carer Forum are to relieve the needs of children with disabilities and/ or additional needs and their parents and families in West Sussex through participation in shaping local services, the provision of information and support.
West Sussex Parent Carer Forum supports parent carers of children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are an independent, parent carer led charity representing the views of our members in West Sussex. We work in partnership with others to make our voice heard, to positively influence and improve local services for children and young people with SEND. We also provide information, training and support.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Objectives
The charity focused on delivering five main goals:
-
To rebrand the charity
-
To strengthen our operational team
-
To reshape our membership strategy
-
To continue to coproduce services across West Sussex
-
To build financial resilience
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, our plans for how we would achieve these goals had to change. By the beginning of this financial year, we had taken all our activities online and Zoom became a major investment in reaching out to parent carers and participating in the development of service alongside our partners.
We are particularly proud to have pivoted our work towards a virtual offer in response to COVID-19. The pandemic has caused great stress and worry for parent carers, so we have stayed open and running during this time when we were needed most.
In light of the COVID lockdowns, we had to change the way we were planning to do things during 2020-21. We undertook the following activities during the year:
21 x Virtual Pop-Up events for parent carers to meet up and socialise with each other. These were attended by 110 parent carers.
10 x Virtual Events, covering a range of different SEND subjects, were attended by 288 parent carers.
2 x Virtual Expert Parent Programme training days were attended by 18 parent carers.
2 x Online Engagement Competitions were run, attracting 202 parent carers.
2 x Focus Groups were held, consisting of 18 parent carers and 4 Participation Officers.
150 x wellbeing packs were sent out to parent carers of children with PMLD.
123 x Virtual Meetings with the Local Authority/Health Providers SENCO Support.

WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We worked with a group of Rother Valley Schools to improve access to services for parent carers who live in mid Sussex and who are typically ‘hard to reach’. We attended meetings with their SENCOs to talk about the Forum, and how we could help and support them and their parent carers.
Meetings, Interviews & Panels
During this financial year we continued to invest in our relationships with our partners across Education, Health and Social Care and our Reps attended 123 virtual meetings with our partners across Education, Health and Social Care to represent the voice of parent carers. We were also part of an interview panel for one high-profile position within WSCC.
Achievements and Performance
Charity Rebrand
With the charity ‘rebranded’ in 2019-20, we took the opportunity during this financial year to consolidate that branding. We achieved this through a series of communication templates, which re colour coded in line with our logo colours, and which represent various strands of our work:
-
Orange = Coproduction
-
Pink = Engagement
-
Blue = Training
-
Green = Admin/BAU
Using the same colourways, we also developed a series of social media templates, to create a uniform message and to ensure coherent branding across our external communications.
Strengthen Operational Team
Strengthening our team in the middle of a pandemic was always going to be a challenge, but our staff coped admirably. The fact that our team are all parent carers and were juggling their work responsibilities alongside educating their children from home is testament to their own resilience as well as their passion to improve services for families like their own.
Sadly, there were some casualties, with our Participation Officers for the north and south of the county resigning in the face of their increased family responsibilities. However, we have rebuilt the team, welcoming on board 4 new parent carers as Participation Officers. Nada Guigliani represents the North of the County, Francesca Cecil represents the South, Lucie Dumbleton represents the East and Sarah Lambert represents the West. They are managed by Rowan Westwood who completed her first year at the Forum having only met any of her team remotely!
Victoria Harvey continued to focus her attentions on our social media content, growing our Facebook followers to over 3800 through a regular scheduling programme that is both informative and uplifting.
In the summer, Grainne Saunders stepped back as an active Forum volunteer. However, she continues to uphold the values of the Forum by becoming our first Ambassador. She has also continued to provide training to parent carers through the Expert Parent Programme, of which she is an accredited trainer.
Behind the scenes, Val Evans continued to lead the charity in her role as CEO. She was assisted by Rachael Wilkes (admin) and Paula Bramley (finance).
Reshape Membership Strategy
In consideration of the impact of COVID-19 on parent carers, we took the decision to keep to our existing membership strategy rather than our planned movement to a database embedded within our website. That piece of work will be carried forward into the next financial year.

WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Facebook continued to be the main space for attracting new followers, but we encouraged parent carers to sign up to our mailing list to encourage and maintain our engagement levels. Over the course of the year we welcomed over 100 new families to our mailing list, and we are now in regular contact with over 1200 parent carers.
Our Expert Parent Programme translated easily to a virtual offer, so over the course of the year we offered the course to 18 parent carers by running 2 courses for a maximum of 10 people.
Coproducing Services
During this financial year we have built key relationships with the leadership team at West Sussex County Council, and some of their cabinet members. This has enabled us to extend our culture of coproduction to the people who hold the financial keys to our future and we look forward to continuing to work in coproduction with them and their colleagues for years to come. We also worked closely with our strategic partners across the NHS CCGs, to ensure our participation at meetings where decisions that affect children and young people with SEND are being made.
Most of the meetings we attended were facilitated over Zoom or Teams. The exception was a socially distanced gathering of senior leads within West Sussex County Council who invited Val Evans along to help brainstorm ideas for the new Joint Commissioning Strategy (JCS). The resulting ‘Path’ created a lot of opportunity for coproduction, and the Forum and our parent carers have been included in a range of discussion events and focus groups, as well as being a part of the Communications Team, the Leadership Team and the JCS Board. This strategy will eventually sit under the existing SEND & Inclusion Strategy, so it is very exciting that the Forum have had an opportunity to shape this strategy from its outset.
Financial Resilience
During a year of unprecedented challenges, the Forum has held strong. Our main funders remained loyal to us and we were also able to attract some new funding. Our particular thanks must go to Sussex Community Foundation who allowed us to veer away from our agreed objectives and use their funding towards investing in a professional version of Zoom as well as contributing to our Participation Team’s salaries. Towards the end of the year we were also delighted to receive some funding from the Pears Foundation. As well as contributing towards some salary costs, we used this money to create some videos with Millstream Productions. These will be published in the new financial year.
In order to support our financial resilience, in September 2020, we moved out of our offices in Littlehampton. We have been enormously grateful to Mike Clayden and his team at Dove Lodge for providing us with such a comfortable office environment, but the benefits of our team working remotely during a pandemic far outweighed the benefits of ‘mothballing’ our office. We have saved approximately £100 per week in the process, and these funds are being used to ensure that our beneficiaries receive the information, training and support that they need and deserve.
Financial review
During this year, the Trustees have been supported by the Chief Executive, Val Evans, who has provided strategic leadership of the charity and established long-range goals, strategies, plans and policies that will ensure the health of WSPCF into the future. The charity ended this financial year with a deficit of £20,081 (2020 surplus £37,521) and total funds of £145,252 (2020: £165,333). Given the challenge of COVID, we believe this evidences the financial resilience of our organisation and our Trustees’ determination to continue to provide a quality service to every parent carer who needs us.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have taken 5 key elements into account when framing the Reserves Policy. These are:
-
An analysis of existing funds
-
The reliability of current income sources and new income opportunities
-
Expenditure on planned activities
-
Future needs, contingencies and risks
-
Consequences of being unable to meet forecasted need
-

WEST SUSSEX PARENT CARER FORUM
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The current policy aims to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level necessary to function effectively for an interim period of 12 months, should financial difficulties occur beyond the control of the charity. This equates to our core costs relating to governance, fundraising, back office support and development work.
The reserves currently exceed this level to mitigate the risk of losing our main source of funding. Current reserves would give us adequate time in which to recruit a fundraiser and fundraise in a timely manner.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
West Sussex Parent Carer Forum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is West & Berry Limited, Mocatta House, Trafalgar Place, Brighton, BN1 4DU.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Expenditure under £500 is not capitalised.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 10 years straight line Computers 4 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(Continued)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Pension
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
