The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity. ## **The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year** This year was a time of change and development for WHISH, and we have faced some major challenges and come through them. One of the outcomes of the financial pressures faced during the year was a period of reflection and refocus. This resulted in the recruitment of additional volunteers to join a strengthened and expanded Board of Trustees. The Board is now a blend of experienced Trustees and new Trustees, it is more diverse and representative of the wider community which we serve. As always, I pay tribute to the work of my fellow Trustees and volunteers, without their considerable time and effort WHISH could have folded in 2022. Instead, we face 2023 with renewed enthusiasm for the new developments we have planned, with a strengthened leadership group and new staff. The year ended on a positive note as the prospect of a move to larger premises was explored. The increased number of Trustees has enabled the substantial commitment and tasks of moving to a new venue to be undertaken by a larger group of people. The facilities at the new Hub will facilitate a wider range of activities and services. We are delighted to have outside space for the first time, with the prospect of gardens and play area development in 2023. We look forward to 2023 as a year of consolidation in our new venue, the development of our outside space, and with a range of new and exciting activities planned. ## **The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity and to wider society** WHISH helped to reduce the social isolation by offering fun, educational and social opportunities for children with hidden disibilities. We aim to build their confidence and improve their mental health through sharing experiences and gaining beneficial life skills. The WHISH premises were closed for part of 2021 due to Covid, however we continued to support families remotely via phone and Facebook, and developed innovative solutions such as sensory and activity boxes delivered to children at home. One of the ways WHISH helped children struggling to catch-up with lost schooling was with weekend catch-up classes in maths, English and science. We worked closely with community groups and other support networks to help our members and their families, and offered guidance to families by referring them to specific organisations that are best placed to support their situation. WHISH is at the heart of the community, led by proactive volunteers, who have the wellbeing of WHISH children and families at the heart of all that we do. **[ 3 ]** **WHITBY HIDDEN IMPAIRMENTS SUPPORT AND HELP** **FINANCIAL REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** ## **Summary** The financial position of the Charity as at 31st December 2022 as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows: |Income

Our community fundraising was severely reduced by the closure of businesses who host donation tubs and the cancellation of events at which we usually fundraise. The financial pressures of 2021 and reduced fundraising came to a head in Spring of 2022, leaving the Trustees with no alternative but to reduce expenditure. Hub opening hours and staff costs (the main items of expenditure) had to be drastically reduced to ensure the long term survival of the charity. WHISH was supported by Community First through a difficult 6 months and had to take difficult decisions in the short term. Volunteer fundraisers have worked hard to improve our financial situation, a particular success being the securing of a major 2 year grant from the People’s Health Trust. The Trustees have for a number of years debated the introduction of a membership fee and the decision has been made for a £10 per household fee to be introduced in 2023. From a difficult start, the Trustees consider the financial performance of the Charity in the year to have been positive. The Charity has obtained adequate funding to maintain operations following a deficit in the prior year. However the unrestricted funds available are lower than the prior year, and this is now being monitored. ## **Reserves Policy** The reserve fund is set at £17,000 (2021: £17,000). The Trustees consider this adequate to provide for any possible future closure costs that may be incurred by the charity. ## **Declaration** The Trustees declare they have approved the Trustees' Report and Financial Review as set out on pages 2 to 4. For and on behalf of all the Trustees: Tony Walker - Chair 31st May 2023 **[ 4 ]** **WHITBY HIDDEN IMPAIRMENTS SUPPORT AND HELP REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** As a practising member firm of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at http://rulebook.accaglobal.com/ I report on the accounts of Whitby Hidden Impairments Support and Help for the year ended 31st December 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 10. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: ◦ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; or - concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. - have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
