UK Deaf Sport Trustees’ Annual Report

The Trustees present their report and the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and 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).

Our annual report for 2021/2022 looks back at the work of UK Deaf Sport (UKDS) during another difficult year as the sport and leisure sector recovered from the coronavirus pandemic. We have continued to adapt our offer to engage the deaf community and ensure their continued participation and involvement in sport and physical activity through different funding programmes during the pandemic both online and in person. Our staff team, working remotely, has also shown dedication and commitment in these difficult times.

Our funders have continued to be very supportive and flexible during this year to enable UKDS to amend and/or alter our project outcomes and offer delivery in alternative formats.

Charity Objectives and Activities

UKDS’s vision is Every Deaf Person Active and Inspired by Sport and Physical Activity. Our mission centres on leading opportunities for more[1] deaf people to participate in sport throughout their lives and more deaf athletes performing on the world stage.

UKDS was established in 2003 and has been a member of the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) since March 2006 and a member of the European Deaf Sport Organisation since 2006. UKDS is also a member of the UK Council on Deafness (UKCoD), the Activity Alliance (AA) and the Sport and Recreation Alliance.

UKDS’s strategy to achieve our vision of “Every Deaf Person Active and Inspired by Sport and Physical Activity” revolves around three key Strategic Objectives and associated outcomes as follows:

UKDS is grateful for the support of its partners and funders, specifically Sport England and Comic Relief, but retains our commitment to reduce the reliability on the public purse to ensure the financial sustainability of the organisation.

Leadership

The charity is a company limited by guarantee.

The Board of Trustees oversee the work and day to day management, whilst staff are recruited with specific roles and responsibilities within the charity. The Board are informed of all relevant operational information via meetings, sub committees and written briefings. The organisation continues to work within its set of “Vision and Values”.

1 * UKDS uses the term ‘deaf’ to cover a range of potential definitions of deafness, including those who are profoundly deaf, have significant hearing loss or are hard of hearing. It is acknowledged that definitions and understanding of Deaf and deafness can be complex. Within the deaf community there are perceptions around the level of deafness where some who are completely deaf consider themselves to be different compared to those with hearing loss. This also includes the use of the terms Deaf and deaf whereby the use of a capital D in Deaf can denote those who identify as having a cultural and shared experience of being Deaf, usually with profound or little hearing and may use sign language, whereas the use of lowercase d in deaf can refer to those who have both a significant hearing loss or are hard of hearing.

None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. All trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

After a recruitment process, three new trustees were appointed in May 2021. A further two new trustees have been appointed in August 2022 after a recruitment process targeting new trustees with financial expertise to strengthen the Board in this area.

Established Advisory Groups advise, support and check/challenge the UK Deaf Sport Board in key areas. These include the:

Each Advisory Group includes a Chair, a Board Director and independent advisors with expertise in the relevant area.

Participation

UKDS has continued to drive and increase participation of deaf people in sport and physical activity during this reporting period. Here are the key highlights of the participation work delivered by UKDS with support from our funders including Sport England and Comic Relief.

See My Voice

In November 2021, UK Deaf Sport partnered with British Blind Sport and Sport Birmingham to deliver the ‘See My Voice’ project funded by Sport England. See My Voice is a sports leadership volunteer programme aimed at young people aged 14-19 years enabling them to get a Sports and Activity Volunteering Leadership Qualification. The project helps Young Leaders gain confidence and develop life skills, boost their self-esteem and improve their employment prospects. It also allows them to meet new people and become involved in their communities. To achieve this qualification, each has found their own placement at places such as sport clubs, schools and local community groups volunteering in different ways such as coaching, delivering sessions, working in the school café etc. UK Deaf Sport currently have 12 Young Leaders across the UK being mentored by the UK Deaf Sport See My Voice Project Officer. All our Young Leaders are deaf (6 Cochlear implant, 6 Hearing aid) and most of them are fluent in British Sign Language (BSL) or Sign Supported English (SSE). During the remainder of 2022, we will deliver webinars on skills and behaviours in the workplace and have a residential for all of the Young Leaders across UK Deaf Sport, BBS and Sport Birmingham to come together. The project finishes at the end of November 2022.

Deaf Active Online and Comic Relief Project

Comic Relief funded our London-based project to reach out to deaf people in the greater London area and encourage a higher engagement in activities in sport. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, work was switched online and resulted in the creation of our Deaf Active Online work. This has enabled us to offer online sports and physical activities throughout the pandemic and to reduce isolation and support mental health and wellbeing. The project is also developing and supporting the skills of deaf trainers/instructors to reach out and deliver to deaf participants in their field of expertise.

In partnership with Access Sport, we have developed activity packs for deaf children and young people in schools across London. The purpose of these activity packs is to enable us to engage children and young people in schools during the pandemic's most challenging times. This work allowed us to build positive relationships with the schools and gain new audiences.

Women and Girls Project

UK Deaf Sport partnered with Women in Sport, funded by Sport England, to support deaf girls (13 years plus) and women around the UK to become more involved in sport. The aim was to understand and address any barriers to accessing sport due to gender or disabilities as well as any additional barriers, for example, if they are also Black or Asian and develop their confidence and skills in order to become volunteers, coaches and leaders within their local areas.

The project has been delivered via Zoom due to the coronavirus pandemic. This has made the project more accessible nationally and has enabled more individuals from all over the UK to participate. Delivery has included deaf women and girls attending focus groups to identify barriers for deaf women and workshops focussed on empowerment, confidence building, leadership skills and coaching delivered in BSL to ensure they were fully accessible. Women and girls have been able to develop their confidence, be more active, learn skills and pathways needed to become leaders, coaches, or sports volunteers. Working with UK Coaching, we provided an E- Learning course covering topics in relation to “Coaching the deaf community” designed to teach deaf women and girls the skills to become coaches or to use their newly learned skills in other opportunities.

The insight from the focus groups was used to work with leisure centres and sports clubs to improve accessibility. We also delivered Deaf Awareness Training to staff in these facilities and tips for communicating with deaf clients to give insights into the difficulties deaf clients face when attempting to access a sports facility. Trailblazers also delivered 10 coaching courses.

The women and girls who were part of this project have learnt new skills, developed their confidence are already planning and training to be coaches, leaders and to volunteer. Later in 2022, UK Deaf Sport and Women in Sports will publish a report detailing the key results of the research on the barriers that deaf teenage girls face in participating in sport and physical activity and provide a series of recommendations to improve their participation moving forward.

Tackling Inequalities Fund

In early 2021, UKDS was awarded funding from the Sport England National Lottery funded Tackling Inequalities Fund. The aim of the funding was to support four key groups that were being disproportionately negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic where it was significantly impacting their ability to be physically active. It enabled community groups to continue to exist and engage with their communities and supported deaf people to be engaged and active.

UKDS funded a wide range of organisations and activities that supported deaf people to optimise their opportunities to participate in sport. This included funding for community groups to find new ways of keeping deaf people engaged and active, advice and training support increasing the resilience, capacity, and capability of delivery bodies, equipment hire/purchase, hire of facilities and coaches’ fees/expenses. For example, accessible training sessions for deaf swimmers where coaches use visual signs and BSL and a chance to meet and network with other deaf swimmers to improve confidence; fun days showcasing different sports; taster golf activities for deaf children, training volunteers as sport ‘activators’ to get more deaf people engaged and much more. The Tackling Inequalities Fund was replaced by the Together Fund in April 2022.

London Sport

The Sensory Alliance is a strong partnership between three charities: British Blind Sport, SENSE and UK Deaf Sport. It aims to target those with a sensory impairment or more complex disabilities in partnership. The Sensory Alliance was successful in securing Sport England Tackling Inequalities funding from London Sport to address the impact of COVID-19 on the services/programmes we deliver to our communities and also our partners who have endured outreach activities being reduced/stopped and vital support being restricted for those who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Blind/Visually impaired and/or may have complex disabilities. The aim was also to engage those at risk of social isolation in London due to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

The project focussed on older people aged 55 plus and the Sensory Alliance worked with key contacts and partners in four London boroughs to identify groups through which we could engage those with a sensory impairment in greatest need. Delivery has included the development and delivery of health activity packs (in partnership with MIND and AGE UK) and online accessible sport and physical activity videos. The Sensory Alliance has partnered with Oomph who manage residential and care homes across the UK, to ensure 25 accessible physical activity videos will be available on their platform which delivers in their care settings to engage older people with sensory impairments in physical activity. These include stretch and relaxation, tai chi seated yoga and dance.

Partnership Work

Throughout 2021-2022 we have continued to create and develop partnerships with National Governing Bodies (NGB), Active Partnerships, third sector organisations and deaf charities through our National Partnership Advisor. We have relationships with British Blind Sport, Sense (and work together as the Sensory Alliance), and other National Disability Sporting Organisations (NDSOs), London Sport, AGE UK, the Activity Alliance and deaf specific sport organisations such as England Deaf Golf and England Deaf Cricket.

We have worked with our partners to develop working practices and deliver deaf awareness training to support increased engagement and participation from the deaf community in mainstream sports and highlight adaptions or considerations needed for deaf participants. In 2022-2023 we will look to formalise these partnerships through Partnership Agreements that clearly set out the responsibilities of both parties in engaging deaf participants and areas where we can work together and build relationships with new partners. We have also been working on new online Deaf Awareness Training that we hope to be available late in 2022.

Performance

Our Performance Advisory Group (PAG) directs our strategy for elite performance and aims to deliver podium success at domestic and international levels, including European, Worlds and the Deaflympics. The group is also leading on work to raise awareness of the needs of elite deaf athletes who are neither recognised nor supported by Government. This group will also support our work to get a policy change from Government so that funding and support is made available for a deaf talent pathway to end the discrimination against deaf athletes.

Due to the global coronavirus pandemic, most International Deaf Sport Championships have been cancelled or postponed. UKDS, after consulting with those who would be directly impacted and in conjunction with our PAG and our Athlete Leadership Group, took the difficult decision in early February 2022 not to send a GB team to the postponed 2022 Deaflympics in Brazil. There were many critical factors involved in the decision, but they centred predominately around athlete safety, incomplete infrastructure in Brazil where we did not have full details on where we would be sending our athletes and financial implications.

UKDS continue to be an active member of the ICSD and EDSO and attend relevant meetings representing Great Britain. We will continue to support deaf sport teams to compete at international events as the pandemic subsides supporting athletes with their audiology checks (through our appointed Honorary Audiologist) and submitting entries for international competitions.

Financial Review

The charity has been successful in delivering activities to the deaf through funding from Sport England. The result for the year shows a deficit of £62,500 (2021: £35,526 Surplus).

Restricted funds stand at £16,524, with a surplus in general reserves of £23,208

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has not yet been achieved and efforts are continuing to secure funding to be able to meet this level of reserves.

Principal sources of income

The principal source of income for the year has been the funding awarded by Sport England. Additionally, Sport England has funded the Women and Girls Project, See My Voice and Tackling Inequalities Fund. Funding from Comic Relief continues to support the development of our Deaf Awareness Training.

Risk assessment

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A Risk Management Strategy and comprehensive Risk Register is in place which clearly identifies the major risks facing the charity. It describes and evaluates the steps to be taken to manage and mitigate those risks and provides an action plan to address any improvements required. The Finance, Audit and Risk Group lead and advise on this area of work.

Our Future Plans for 2022-2023

2021-2022 has been another difficult year for UKDS and our partners in the sport and leisure sector as we continue to navigate the changing national landscape during the coronavirus pandemic. UKDS continues with online delivery to support and inspire deaf people to be included and inspired in sport and physical activity but hope to open up to more face-to-face activities as restrictions ease.

In March 2021, UK Deaf Sport was successful in securing Sport England System Partner funding for 5 years which will enable us to increase our capacity able to drive real progress in achieving our vision and mission and be the lead voice for deaf people in sport and physical activity. This funding will be used to recruit a new Chief Executive Officer to lead UK Deaf Sport into its new phase as well as a Partnerships Manager, Business Development Manager, Governance and Insight Manager and a Marketing and Communications Officer.

Other key plans for the next year include:

For the year ended 31 March 2022

As we come to the end of our fifth year as a Charitable Company our plans to extend our reach and impact in 2022-2023 are challenging but will help ensure that more deaf people participate in sport throughout their lives and more deaf athletes perform on the world stage.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees, who are also the directors of UK Deaf Sport for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees, to prepare accounts 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 year.

In preparing these accounts the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure the accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The Directors have taken advantage of section 477(2) of the Companies Act 2006 which exempts the company from the requirement to have the accounts audited.

The Company is required to have an Independent Examination in accordance with the provisions in the Charities Act 2011. Accordingly, Ian Stacey FCA, of Kings CAP Ltd, Chartered Accountants, was appointed Independent Examiner.

1 Principal Accounting Policies

Company Information

UK Deaf Sport is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales. The registered office is at Unit 4 Grovelands, Boundary Way, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England, HP2 7TE.

Accounting Convention

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with; the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011. The accounts include the results of the company’s operations, which are described in the Trustees’ Annual Report, all of which are continuing. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Going Concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The Trustees and Directors consider that the available reserves and the availability of continued financial support, including securing funding for a five year term from Sport England from 1 April 2022, will ensure the required working capital be in place for the company to continue operations for the foreseeable future. This is based on the Trustees and Directors opinion that the activity will continue to grow with increased publicity and support of their charitable activities.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income from charitable trading activities is recognised when the related goods and services have been completed and dispatched.

Income from grants and other donations which are of a voluntary nature are recognised when the charitable company has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date and receipt is probable. Grants received for future accounting periods are deferred.

Income from grants, and similar income where conditions for payment are linked to performance, are recognised to the extent that the charity has met the conditions.

Income from donated facilities is recognised when the charitable company utilises the facilities with the fair value being recognised as incoming resources and expended resources simultaneously, as appropriate.

Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, recognised when a liability is incurred, and classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held with banks.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction cost and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Basic Financial Liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Depreciation

Tangible assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office Equipment

25% on written down value

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are those which are unrestricted and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted finds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
