TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Surrey Disabled People's Partnership for the 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2022. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The Charity are established as follows;
The provision of assistance, advice, representation and services which will directly benefit people with complex social, health or care needs, whether by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
The Provision of facilities of recreation and other leisure time occupation for persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their impairment, poverty or social and economic circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life within the administrative county of Surrey and environs.
The Charity’s main aims are to;
Empower, support and enable individual disabled people and help them to live independent lives, provide information about services and benefits available to disabled people, to ensure they are informed of and understand their rights and to improve and enhance the services available to them.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
We have continued to work closely with local authorities with the commissioning of statutory Advocacy services across Surrey and into neighbouring authorities. We have also been providing an accessible Information and Welfare Benefits Advice service since June 2018, from within a Community Café, located at our registered office in Staines upon Thames. This has enabled the charity to offer access to Information and a professional Welfare Benefits Advice service to the local community and provide opportunities for disabled people to participate in their local community with volunteering programmes at the Community Café.
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
All types of Advocacy services are strength based and outcome focused, with the aim of enabling and empowering our beneficiaries to understand their rights, have their voice heard, access services they need and live more independently. The provision of a professional benefits advice service and volunteer led information service and community café, offers disabled people and other members of the community access to up to date information about their care and support and accurate benefits advice. Lastly, volunteer recruitment within the Community Cafe provides opportunities for disabled people to use their experiences to help others, feel less isolated and build confidence, improve skills and enhance employment prospects. The Café has proved a success in achieving positive outcomes, both for people accessing the services within and those individuals completing volunteering programmes.

b. Review of activities
Advocacy Service (Advocacy in Surrey)
SDPP have successfully delivered the Advocacy in Surrey services commissioned jointly by Surrey County Council and Health; this contract started in April 2017, for an initial period of 3 years. This contract was extended for a further year, until March 31st 2022 at the same contractual value and terms, and subsequently extended for a further three month terms until 30th June 2022.
The service specification includes statutory services of Independent Care Act Advocacy and Independent Mental Health Advocacy for all eligible people in Surrey. There is also a discretionary offer for vulnerable groups including those with care and support needs, accessing mental health support, engaged with substance misuse treatment or living with a long term condition or HIV. The uptake of Advocacy services in Surrey has steadily increased throughout the span of this contract, with no gaps in provision of Advocacy services across Surrey throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, introducing additional practices of supporting people virtually, alongside continued face to face support. Robust risk assessment processes and the provision of PPE enabled the Advocacy Team to provide a seamless and accessible service to individuals using Advocacy services.
This contract was recommissioned by Surrey County Council during 2021, with the new Advocacy contract due to start in April 2022. SDPP submitting a tender, as the lead provider, for the provision of Advocacy services from April 2022. Due to delays in their recommissioning process, Surrey County Council subsequently the start of the new Advocacy contract until 1 July 2022.
Ultimately, following a competitive tendering process Surrey County Council awarded the contract to an alternative provider, with the contract taking effect from 1 July 2022.
The Advocacy in Surrey contract the vast large majority of SDPP’s activities. As a consequence of losing this Contract, the Trustees made the difficult decision to cease remaining Charitable activities.
In April 2021, SDPP were successful in our application to the Henry Smith Charity for a grant for the provision of a range of non-statutory services in Surrey for people with Autism and/or a Learning Disability. Unfortunately, given the financial uncertainties due to the loss of the contract with Surrey County Council, we were not able to accept this grant or to continue to provide services.
Advocacy in Slough
SDPP have been successful bidders in the recommissioning of this service for a term of 3 years, with the potential to extend for a further two, commencing on April 1st 2021. This service is to deliver a full range of both Statutory and non-statutory Advocacy services, in partnership with Matrix. SDPP are the lead provider of this contract at a value of £109,800 per annum.
The provision of Advocacy services in the Borough of Slough continued throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, introducing additional practices of supporting people virtually, alongside continued face to face support. Robust risk assessment processes and the provision of PPE has enabled the Advocacy Team to provide a seamless and accessible service to individuals using Advocacy services.
In 2022, in light of the significant loss of funding from Surrey County Council, SDPP worked closely with the local authority and with Matrix for a smooth exit of the contract, enabling Matrix to continue as the sole provider for one further year, and to ensure a seamless continuation and delivery of service to users.
Information and Advice Service (Marianne’s Community Cafe)
Since Marianne’s Community Café opened in June 2018 it has become an indispensable community resource, helping existing and new customers every week with Information and Advice queries, food bank referrals, links into adult social care, referrals to Advocacy and signposting to many other local services. Many of these customers have urgent need for help and complex welfare issues and challenges. .
We have provided work experience and training to many volunteers within the Café and Information services setting, many of which are young people and adults with learning difficulties, mental health problems, and those

on the autistic spectrum. A number of our volunteers have gone on to paid employment, additional volunteering and college training. The Café is a registered referrer for food bank parcels and offers a safe and welcoming environment for all the local community.
This service has been funded from a combination of donation from grant funding, local councillor member funds and private donations. Takings from the Café are used to cover the cost of consumables and towards the costs of the services.
Sadly, due to lack of ongoing sustainable funding for this project and other loss of funding affecting SDPP as a whole, Marianne’s Community Café ceased operating from 30th September 2022.
c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives
Reductions in local authority income have presented significant challenges for SDPP, however our principal activities were maintained during this period until September 2022.
Financial review
a. Going concern
Given the loss of the Advocacy in Surrey contract that SDPP and the challenges with securing other sustainable sources of funding for Charitable activities, SDPP will cease its activities as of September 30th 2022.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 13th May 2014.
The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 13th May 2014 and is a registered charity number 1156963.
The principal object of the company is to provide assistance, advice, representation and services which will directly relieve the needs of disabled people.
SDPP’s charitable objectives were updated in June 2021 to include the provision of assistance, advice, representation and services which will directly benefit people with complex social, health or care needs, whether by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.
There is a robust Induction process which introduces new members of the Board to all aspects of the organisation, the teams, the beneficiaries and understanding of the services we provide. New trustees are provided with notes outlining, in brief, their legal obligations under charity and company law, and are also made aware of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the decision making process and the financial performance and plans of the charity. Ongoing training is sourced externally from the voluntary sector and NCVO, including all aspects of financial and structural governance, as well as leadership training.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
Structure, governance and management (continued)
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Board of Directors provide governance of the organisation and work together to develop and implement the overall strategy. Full operational responsibility is delegated to the Chief Executive who works closely with the SDPP Managers and staff to deliver SDPP’s strategic aims. There is a Delegation of Authority document which clearly sets out both strategic and operational decision making protocols.
d. Risk management
The Directors have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
As noted above, SDPP has ceased its charitable activities as of 30 September 2022.
Reserve policy
The free reserves, which are equivalent to the charity’s unrestricted funds (less fixed assets of £nil), amounted to a negative £393,322 at period end. These funds are intended to provide protection in case of an unforeseen down turn in income, or additional needs in expenditure, and also to fund future development of new projects that are currently under consideration. Best practice holds that reserves equal three months of an organisation’s running costs (in this case £151,575). Taking into consideration that the organisation holds restricted funds in the amount of £415,971, the Directors note that a total (unrestricted and restricted funds) amount of £22,649 is less than satisfactory based on the best practice benchmark. However, the SDPP has ceased its charitable activities as of 30 September 2022.
Where any fund is in deficit, the Trustees seek to eliminate the deficit through the identification and application of additional sources of funding, such as legacies, donations, grants or other sources of financing. This is delegated responsibility of the senior managers in collaboration with the Board of Trustees and is reviewed regularly.
Investment Powers
In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Directors have the power to invest the money of the Charity not needed for immediate working purposes.
Asset cover for funds
The Directors’ confirm that there are adequate liquid assets that are available to fulfil the obligations of the Charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
1. General information

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are the provision of information, support, representation and services which directly relive the needs of disabled people within the administrative county of Surrey and environs.
Given the loss of the Advocacy in Surrey contract that SDPP and the challenges with securing other sustainable sources of funding for Charitable activities, SDPP will cease its activities as of 30 September 2022, and the reporting period will change to ended on 30 September 2022. Here, the transitory period would be 18 months from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2022 and the comparative period would be one year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Surrey Disabled People's Partnership meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
The Charity ceased trading on 30 September 2022, and the balance sheet drawn up at 30 September 2022 recognises all assets and closure liabilities at that date.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 13
SURREY DISABLED PEOPLE'S PARTNERSHIP
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Leasehold improvements | - Straight line over five to ten years |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | - Straight line over three years |
| Computer equipment | - Straight line over ten years |
2.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.9 Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.10 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2.11 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
2.12 Volunteer and other donated services
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.
