REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
Inclusion London was set up in October 2008 and became operational in July 2009. In the period April 2021 to March 2022 Inclusion London continued to deliver a range of bespoke and accessible capacity building services to over 70 Deaf and Disabled People's Organisations (DDPOs) in London as well as expand into new thematic areas of work including work on the de-institutionalisation of Disabled people, support to DDPOs to speak out on housing issues and developing training and resources to support our sector to become more intersectional in its work. We continued to enable DDPOs to have a regional, national and international voice and influencing role on disability equality issues through our grassroots campaigning and the setting up and support of strategic forums where DDPOs and policymakers work together. We also produced a national ‘state of the sector’ report on DDPOs and co-produced our new three year Strategic Business plan. All our work over the year was made possible by funding from Three Guineas Trust, Trust for London, National Lottery Community Fund, Greater London Authority and The City Bridge Trust. This report covers this period and outlines plans for future work that we know we can deliver in the context of the on-going impact and challenges of covid-19 pandemic and current cost of living crisis.
Our Vision
An inclusive world, free of disabling barriers where diversity and human rights are valued and where Deaf and Disabled people have dignity, independence and equality of opportunity.
Our Mission
To promote Deaf and Disabled peoples equality and inclusion by supporting Deaf and Disabled peoples organisations (DDPOs) in London to have a strong and influential collective voice, deliver empowering and effective services and by raising awareness and understanding of the unique contribution DDPOs make to London and Deaf and Disabled Londoners.
Our Strategic aims
-
Collective voice and influence: To support London DDPOs to have a strong, collective and influential voice so that the human rights, needs and aspirations of all Disabled people are met, disabling and structural barriers removed and appropriate resources and support are provided.
-
Support and strengthen DDPOs: To provide a range of accessible business and organisational support services that build the skills, knowledge, reach, capacity and sustainability of London DDPOs and the people working in our sector.
-
Building our movement: To provide a range of disability equality, intersectional and co-production capacity building support to enable DDPOs to reach and empower more Disabled people; be more representative and inclusive of marginalised / intersectional groups of Disabled people including people who experience disabling barriers but do not identify as being disabled; increase Disabled people’s involvement, influence and leadership within DDPOs and the wider community and to build the understanding and profile of DDPOs and the unique contribution DDPOs make to London and society.

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities
Campaigns, Policy and Justice work
Inclusion London continued to deliver a range of effective campaigns, policy and justice work that raised the profile and understanding of disability equality issues and the needs, views, experiences and aspirations of Disabled Londoners. Specific achievements over the year included:
-
Establishing a new area of work supporting DDPOs to carry out policy, voice and campaigning work on housing issues.
-
Setting up a ‘National Scrap Care Charges’ campaign, which now has 43 grassroots campaigners and organisations as members. This campaign mobilised 4,566 people to write to their MPs and 2,304 to individuals to sign a petition asking them to lobby to make social care, free and, as an interim step, to raise the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG). Since this campaigning the government has increased the MIG, for the first time since 2015. This MIG increase means Disabled people get to keep around £220 extra per year in their pocket.
-
Setting up publicity for the Scrap Social Care Charging campaign, with the website with information and links to campaigning groups; Tax on Disability film and short clips. The film has had 5k views on YouTube and 91k impressions on social media.
-
Initiating joint working among DDPOs in England to create a stronger more united voice to influence the social care reform debate. Together with other DDPOs we developed a shared set of key principles that any social care reform should be based on which reflect our UNCRDP independent living vision. We have shared these principles with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and have set up a DPO social care sub group of DPO forum England, which is coordinating our joint campaigning on social care reform.
-
Supporting the pre-action legal work to challenge the National Disability Strategy. Four Disabled people as a result got legal aid to challenge the strategy and the court then ruled then that the strategy was unlawful because the government failed to adequately consult with Disabled people.
-
Produced a shadow civil society report for the UN Disability Committees periodic review of the UK government which gathered and collated hundreds of pages of evidence and lived experience testimony from DDPOs and Disabled people across England.
-
Supported both the GLA and DPPOs to run the GLA DDPO Stakeholder forum
-
Supported the DPO Forum England and represented the forum at regular meetings with Ministers for Disabled people and the Disability Unit
-
Gave oral evidence to the Work and Pensions select committee on the reform of health assessments for benefits
Strategic capacity building support to London's DDPO's
We continued to deliver bespoke capacity building support to over 70 London DDPOs Specific achievements included:
Page 2
-
Producing the ‘Understanding the needs of DPOs in England’ state of the sector report which involved working with seven DDPOs across England to carry out research on the needs and experiences of DPOs and our strategic vision and proposals for strengthening and supporting our sector.
-
Working with DDPOs to gather evidence on Disabled Londoners experience of policing and producing our Poor Police Response Report: Disabled Victims of hate crime - Inclusion London . This report led to us giving evidence at the London Assembly and also resulted in a newly formed working group with the Metropolitan Police Service, co-chaired by Inclusion London, to look at ways to improve services and responses under current legislation.
-
Developing, piloting and delivering new intersectional training for the DDPO sector, through our ‘With Us’ intersectional project that will help build the capacity of our sector to better understand and embed intersectional approaches in our work.
-
Capturing learning from our Making it Work employment support project and producing a range of bespoke employment and peer support resources for DDPOs
-
Continued work with key Charitable Trust funders to increase awareness, amongst funders, of disability as a social justice/human rights issue and more awareness of DDPOs as distinct from non user-led disability charities. This awareness has translated into funders explicitly prioritising user-led equity organisations, including DDPOs, in funding programmes and as a result has increased access by DDPOs to Charitable Trust funding.
In setting its aims and objectives the trustees confirm they have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Financial review
Financial position
The financial position of the charity at the year-end is set out on page 14. Inclusion London’s total income for the financial year was £1,031,343. Our expenditure totalled £1,019,235 and our unrestricted reserve stood at £320,461.
A key strategic objective continues to be the diversification and expansion of our funding base. We will continue to build on the expansion of our training and consultancy services to increase our unrestricted income and build up a much-needed contingency reserve. We will also apply for Charitable Trust funding for additional strategic capacity building support work.
Reserves policy
The Trustees regularly review the reserves of the charity. A general unrestricted reserve is maintained with an objective to cover up to 6 months of the running costs of the charity to enable Inclusion London to meet contingency situations and/or carry out discreet pieces of work that will help us meet our strategic business plan aims.
Total reserves at the year-end amounted to £626,792 of which £306,331 represented restricted reserves.
The Trustee's reserves policy in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines is to maintain total free reserves, excluding the element which relates to tangible fixed assets, at a level which is no less than approximately six month's operating costs in order to provide the charity with some ability to cope with unforeseen expenditure and for interruptions in income flows. Based on 2021/22's expenditure, the monthly operating costs (excluding sub-contractor costs) amount to circa £54,000. The charity's total free reserves, excluding tangible fixed assets, at 31st March 2022 amounted to £307,378 (2021 £273,176). The trustees are taking steps to increase and maintain free reserves to the desired level.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by the charity. Appropriate actions are then scheduled to address the residual risk, mitigating it to a level the Trustees considers acceptable. Principal risks and uncertainties primarily concern lack of long term non-project core funding. We continued to work to our current Strategic business plan (2018-2021) and carried out extensive engagement with DDPOs to develop our next three year Strategic business plan (2022 to 2025) which consolidates and develops the work we have been doing over the last 3 years to meet the needs of our sector. Monitoring of the implementation of the fundraising strategy and financial, organisational and reputational risks more generally is carried out via completion of a Risk Register that is presented to Trustees at every Board meeting. This risk register identifies all key areas of risks across the organisation, rating of current levels of risk under each organisational area (high, average and low), actions taken to mitigate risks and any changes in risk ratings since the last register.
Future plans
Work for 2022-23 will focus on consolidating and developing our DDPO organisational capacity building and our campaigns, justice and policy work. Key areas of activity include:
-
Building the capacity of London DDPOs to make effective housing advice, voice, influencing and campaign interventions
-
Delivering our pilot Free Our People Campaign Now project that will support Disabled people and DDPOs to become advocates and allies to Disabled inpatients with autism and learning difficulties and support each other to better challenge detainment and help secure appropriate support in the community.
-
Increasing the collective voice and influence of DDPOs working on Hate crime issues, victim support and the criminal justice system.
-
Securing funding to strategically tackle the recruitment and leadership crisis within DDPOs and increase the leadership opportunities, support and skills of Disabled people working in the DDPO sector.
-
Securing funding to deliver a movement building programme of disability equality, intersectional and co-production training and peer support to the DDPO sector.
-
Improving understanding & data on DDPO sector needs through increased data and research capacity.
-
Increasing core business and organisational skills of DDPOs through securing funding to develop, commission and deliver bespoke training and support

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Inclusion London for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INCLUSION LONDON
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Inclusion London (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Page 9
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INCLUSION LONDON
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 10
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INCLUSION LONDON
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the Charity itself and the environment in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the directors and other management. The most significant were identified as the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2013, Charity SORP FRS 102, UK GAAP (FRS102) and relevant tax legislation.
We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included:
-
making enquires of trustees and management as to where they consider there to be a susceptibility to fraud and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud;
-
obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations;
-
assessing the design effectiveness of the controls in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
assessing the risk of management override including identifying and testing journal entries;
-
challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates.
Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INCLUSION LONDON
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
