These sessions run multiple times over each weekend. Where required and appropriate, children not progressing through regular sessions are given fully funded private sessions. ## Music Classes Our music classes (Sensory and Music) may help to improve speech and language, fine and gross motor skills and help to enhance greater reasoning intelligence. The Music classes run weekly, during term time and occasionally at our monthly Drop-in to help improve the accessibility of this programme. ## Drop-in Sessions We host a monthly family oriented drop-in with activities for all of the family. ## Advice/Education We offer warm, positive advice to parents, especially those who have children who are newly diagnosed with extra needs. ## Speech Therapy We offer Speech Therapy with a local authority approved therapist monthly to supplement a local hiatus. Currently 10 children benefit from this activity. 3 Nov 2021 TAR ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; We have a number of extremely helpful volunteers who help to provide support in various ways such as admin, play work and fundraising. - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. |Section D|Achievements and performance|Achievements and performance| |---|---|---| |||| |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**||Unfortunately due to the Covid19 Pandemic almost all of the activities of
the Charity were put on hold in March 2020. We did manage to continue
with Speech Therapy but these sessions were held over the telephone
Overall, we support just over 80 member families. A further cleanup is
under way following our decision to restart our Drop Ins in October
2021. We are hopeful that our swimming sessions will resume, albeit in
a slightly different format in November/December and we are currently
in discussions with our providers in this regard.| |Section E|Financial review|Financial review| |---|---|---| |||| |**Brief statement of the**
**charity’s policy on reserves**||We do not have a policy on reserves.| |**Details of any funds materially**
**in deficit**||none| |||| Nov 2021 TAR 4 ## **Further financial review details (Optional Information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Sources of funds are: - Grant from BBC’s Children in need, continued to support our popular swimming programme. CIN have approved further funding of £59,520 until 2021 payable in installments. During the year £20,115 was received. We have been in contact with CIN and they are happy for us to utilise the funds and extend the period of the Grant. - We continued with our fundraising efforts albeit these were somewhat curtailed.Various individual and group fundraising initiatives were undertaken most notably from Nationwide (and their staff who carried out a skydive) which raised c£1,500 and 2 individuals walking the South Downs way which raised c£850 - We were appointed as one of the Co Op’s nominated charities and received £3,250 from this source. In addition there were various others bringing our total income from Donations and Fundraising to £8,614 - Total income was £28,729 (down from £32,634 the previous year reflecting the position with Covid) against expenditure of £4,541 compared with c£28,500 with the main reduction being due to virtually no swimming costs. Our cash position has increased from £79,117 to £103,305 but obviously this will decrease as swimming restarts. Whilst looking comfortable this only covers c4 years expenses should we not continue to receive CIN grants and we continually seek to raise funds from other areas. ## Section F Other optional Information Our figures to April 2022 will also reflect our lack of activities but we are hopeful that we can return to some form of normal situation in the 2022/2023 period.
