Section C
Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
Provide resources and services for persons affected by Down’s Syndrome and/or other additional needs to include the advancement of education and the medical professions.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
At our planning meetings, we keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Our main activities normally include:-
Swimming Classes
Children are helped to engage in specially tailored swimming sessions, some with parents and/or siblings in the pool to promote confidence and the more advanced children partake on their own. 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 have been scaled back but take place occasionally at our monthly Drop in
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.

how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
We continued with our fundraising efforts albeit these were somewhat curtailed. Various individual and group fundraising initiatives were undertaken most notably from Cycle Newhaven who raised £2,121 from their Dr Bike sessions.
-
● Total income therefore was £4,486 (down from £27,829 the previous year reflecting the position with Covid and the lack of CIN funding) against expenditure of £8,910 compared with £4,541. Costs were generally for Speech at £7,403 and room hire at £1,200 Our cash position has decreased slightly from £103,305 to £98,881. 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 reflect our lack of activities due to Covid but we are hopeful that we can return to some form of normal situation in the 2022/2023 period.
