## **Financial report year end March 2023**
Unlimited had a quieter year financially in 2022-23 which explains the difference in expenditure from the previous year. We did receive a large transfer of funds when we merged with OxTRAG (Oxford Transport and Access Group).
Our total income this year was just over £6,500 and coupled with cash in the bank of £4,400 we ended the financial year with £10,000 in the bank. Our ongoing commitments are the monthly fee for mobile phone, and an annual fee for Zoom, and our website and email domain and hosting costs. We can cancel all these contracts when we want but the total of these and expenditure on materials for our printer mean our average yearly running costs are about £550.
Our expenditure in the year included just under £500 on a freelance admin worker who supported last year’s AGM and managing the paperwork created by the merger with OxTRAG.
The committee agreed to appoint a development worker on a freelance contract for an average of 7 hours a week. This will make a considerable difference to our ability to keep in contact with members and other Disabled People in Oxfordshire. Our running costs will therefore increase considerably in 2023-24.
## **Activity report year end March 2022**
## **Membership Development**
We created a job description and person specification for a freelance Development Worker and promoted this widely through our membership, social media and other outlets. Interviews were held in March 2023.
We recruited a small number of newer members; this included those who joined us from OxTRAG. We sent regular email bulletins to promote our members’ meetings. We did not hold any face- to-face social meetings in the year but planned one for summer 2023.
We had 4 members meetings via Zoom throughout the year some with external guests to enable members to respond to consultations directly.
## **External Activity**
We mobilised Disabled people to respond to consultations and undertake individual actions around:
Oxford County Council Traffic Filters Consultation
Response to the Oxford Bus Summit attended in person Said Business School
Challenges with increased use of pavements and side road spaces by cafes and restaurants (response to lockdowns) which caused barriers to wheelchair users.
Change of use to public spaces in central Oxford which impacted on number of Disabled People Parking Spaces (DPPS – or blue badge spaces). Supporting members with individual issues which affected their independent living as Disabled people.
We did a presentation to Brookes Post-Grad Social Work Students March 2023
## **Governance and Committee Activity**
The Committee during the year were:
Sue Butterworth Joanna Matthews Don O’Neal Diane Sider Tim Treueherz
The major activity for the committee was negotiating our merger with OxTRAG. The two organisations agreed that they would be known as Unlimited Oxfordshire going forward with Unlimited taking over all OxTRAG funds and contacts.
We held ordinary committee meetings and two joint meetings with OxTRAG (all online) after attending their AGM in August 2022. We held our own AGM online in January 2023. David Deriaz (from OxTRAG) joined the committee.
We submitted a formal response to the Traffic Filters Consultation and compiled members concerns about buses for the Bus Summit.
We met with two senior officers of the County’s Adult Health and Social Care team to discuss an ongoing relationship with Unlimited.
Committee members of Unlimited are also members of or trustees of other county wide or national organisations: Talking Newspapers Oxford, Oxford Over-50s group, Inclusive Transport & Movement Focus Group Oxford City Council, Oxford Pedestrians Association, Oxfordshire HealthWatch, the County Council Co-production Board and Shaping Our Lives.
They bring their lived experience expertise to those forums too.
