## CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT
Welcome to POINT's annual report for 202122!
This year has seen us face continued challenges within the charity sector from our Covid recover action plans to the intense pressures faced by the rising costs of fuel and energy all of which has an impact on the available resources we have to continue to support families, children and young people.
I am however delighted to report that our continued focus on re-shaping POINT to ensure we can continue to deliver excellent service provision, combined with our efforts to identify costs savings means that the 2021-22 year has seen us emerge from the pandemic years in a stronger position and importantly secures the medium term future of the charity.
I would also like to say a specific thanks to our commissioning and funding partners who have shown exceptional understanding of the challenges we and the SEND Sector face working with POINT to re-evaluate our plans and support us meeting those challenges head on.
POINT were delighted to secure National Lottery project funding for 3 years to support our efforts to be sustainable. This funding has made a significant difference in a postCovid world and ensured our essential services continue without interruption.
The charity's outcomes are evidenced throughout our annual report, as is the commitment, drive and enthusiasm of our teams, supported by the voice and innovations of our members who continue to champion the rights, not only of their own children and young people with SEND, but of all children and young people with SEND. We are constantly grounded by the resilience and determination they continue to show.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to thank you for your continued support and trust and I look forward to seeing you at soon.

## OLDHAM PARENT CARER FORUM
Oldham Parent Carer Forum has continued to ensure that the voice of parents and carers is heard as we start to build back better and recover through the pandemic. We participate in a number of projects to ensure families voices are heard in shaping the delivery of services and initiatives across Oldham.
We are a strategic lead in the Autism in Schools project which is funded by the NHS. The pilot in Oldham is part of a wider project with four Greater Manchester Local Authorities and we are working with two mainstream schools in Oldham, a primary and a secondary school.
The Forum is part of the Speech, Language and Communication Needs Design team which is looking at service improvements and waiting times, and our parent carer feedback is shaping developments this year.
""Continuous knowledgeable support. I think Oldham Parent Carer Forum have a huge responsibility and commend their commitment and unwavering support. An invaluable asset to Oldham.." Parent
The North West Asthma bundle is looking at access to information for families living with Special Educational Needs and the experience of assessments and tests which lead to an asthma diagnosis, and how information is accessible, easy to understand and subsequently to ensure children and young people are confident in managing their asthma.
We were delighted that our annual celebration event for co-production finally happened in our 12th year and the feedback received afterwards was overwhelming. It was fantastic to see our parents/carers, and our exceptionally talented
young people who put on a great show of entertainment for us. We were joined by the Mayor and her Consort, Special Olympian Kiera Byland and the 2022 Passion for Parent Award Winners, who were voted for by our parents and carers.
## Impact and Outcomes
Oldham Parent Carer Forum have continued to ensure that your voice is heard during these unprecedented times and our team of staff and volunteers have continued to attend and represent your parental voice across all local and regional strategic workstreams.
POINT saw engagement increase with memberships up by 14.1% in 2021-22

Recognised by Oldham Council and Action Together for our service to the community of Oldham during the Covid pandemic as an Oldham Borough Cvoid Community Champion.
Our online events have continued to cover a number of supportive topics that parents and carers have asked for, which have supported information, advice, peer to peer support, and reduce isolation, including SEN Training Workshops and Wellbeing sessions.

## OLDHAM SENDIAS SERVICE
The Oldham SENDIAS service continue to face unprecedented demand due to the impact of Covid on education, health and care provision.
Identification of needs continue to rise. School funding challenges, access to local service provision and the acknowledgement that the SEND system needs further reform have all led to increases in requests for support, meetings, tribunal cases and mediations.
The team has been expanded to support growing demand, however this is against a backdrop of a 41% increase in case loads in 2021-22 which continue to rise.
In 2021-22 our full service offer has been re-instated post pandemic and the SENDIAS Service have continued to provide the empowerment support families need to support their children or young people with SEND effectively.
" A key service for the diverse communities of Oldham. The team goes out of their way to help others. The support from POINT has helped my daughter develop and helped us as a family to manage."... Parent/Carer
POINT have been exploring opportunities to expand our empowerment activities and have jointly hosted monthly drop-in sessions, community outreach events and SEND Legal Training sessions where families can gain their own expertise in SEND Law and policy to ensure they are equipped to face any challenges or situations with their child or young person have have the opportunities to secure the best possible outcomes for their children and young people.
The Oldham SENDIASS team have also benefited from extensive training opportunities to support their role and are all qualified to the highest available standards for SEND Law.
POINT continue to work with our commissioning partners to ensure that trends evidenced in our data are shared, enabling conversations and co-production of solutions which improve experiences for those with SEND. We remain ambitious and excited about the future which we will share in future annual reports and those discussions progress.
## Impact and Outcomes
Service referrals continued to increase to the highest level recorded on our 11 year delivery history. Despite increases in service staffing and empowerment provision meeting demand remains our key challenge and a review of structures, roles and funding will be undertaken during 2022-23 to ensure we have a sustainable and effective long term delivery model which meets the needs of our service
users.

## POINT ACTIVITIES
During 2021-22 our Activities Team again expanded the offer to include virtual activities, arts & crafts, rock painting and scavenger hunts alongside our Ability Wheelz Cycling Centre sessions.
Due to the easing of restrictions the cycling centre was able to operate fully with some Covid precautions still in place. There was an increase in users returning to the cycling centre which was extremely positive. Users fed back how much they had missed the opportunity to hire our adapted and non-adapted cycles.
""Fantastic activity! We attended many dates as my son who doesn’t sit still ever really enjoyed this activity. I’m shocked at his patience and concentration".... parent/carer
Thanks to Angling Trust funding secured by the Activities Team, Accessible Fishing was piloted during the summer of 2021. The activity has been a great success and further funding has been secured to enable the fishing sessions to take place again in 2022. Oldham's children and young people have embraced learning this new skill and have grown in confidence, enjoyed new social interaction and earned certificates along the way.
Following investment in 2020 to upgrade our cycles, POINT Activities have further invested in securing Level 2 Cycle Mechanic training for our team members. Maintenance and repairs can now be done on site reducing costs and ensuring that cycles are not out of action for long periods. Well done to the team!
POINT Activities is looking forward to continuing to expand the offer for children and young people with additional needs and/or disabilities, ensuring that a varied programme of accessible activities are available.
## Impact and Outcomes
The planned refurbishment of the cycling centre is due to go ahead in 2022 and this will ensure the centre is a safe and a more accessible environment for all our children, young people and their families.
94% of you said that our activities are excellent
The continued extended activity offer is successfully engaging children and young people in activities that may have previously not been accessible. The children and young people have developed new friendships, increased confidence, given a sense of achievement and increased selfesteem. The children and young people as well as their extended family have received crucial health and wellbeing support.
" This is amazing activity helped my little one socialise as well as myself and get us out the house in a safe non-judgemental atmosphere"

## SEND TRAINING & WORKSHOPS
The Workshops and Training Service has continued to deliver support to parents and carers through the Autism Postdiagnosis and the Self-Support Pathway training programmes during 2021-22.
In response to the restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, the service successfully adapted the training and moved to virtual delivery of the sessions. When the restrictions were lifted the service returned to offering in-person sessions as well as virtual sessions in recognition that the online delivery format proved to be a preferred option for some parents / carers. Consequently, our current and future offer will include both in-person and virtual sessions to cater for individual attendance preferences, offering flexibility and inclusivity.
In addition to the in-person and virtual group sessions, the team offers telephone and email consultation on specific queries or issues the parent / carer may have in relation to themes covered in the workshops and we also deliver more bespoke 1-1 sessions if there is an identified need for this.
""Lots of really useful and relevant information. Helped make sense of a lot of what my little girl does and how she communicates. Will really help with how we do things going forward."... Parent/Carer
The service has also delivered training to Early Help professionals; to develop their knowledge base and enable them to support parents/carers in their understanding and implementation of the content and materials covered in the Behaviour and Communication sessions.
""A great session with practical ideas. I feel more informed to support parents and empower them"... Early Help professional
## Impact and Outcomes
Following a restructure at the end of 2021, the service welcomed aboard a new co-ordinator Rifat, joining Debbie as well as a dedicated administrator Sam. Working together the team are developing new ways of working to support the efficient operation of the service.

## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF Parents of Oldham in Touch (POINT)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 4 to 10.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and;
- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2022.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
- ~ the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
## **Independent Examiners Qualification**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination, being a Fellow Member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

## **Going Concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All income, including grants and donations, is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income. It is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor.
Expenditure which meets these criteria’s is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs. Unrestricted funds are for grants, donations and other incoming resources received or generated for charitable purposes.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to applicable expenditure headings.
Charitable expenditure shall include all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity, including the cost of goods and services, that have been incurred in charitable activities.
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount for the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
