Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2020

Chair’s summary

At last The Chamwell Centre has become a reality. The state of the art building, external play areas, and specialist equipment, a project costing £5.1 million is due to open late December 2020. It has taken five years to arrive at this point, from the time when a group of professionals and friends met together, recognising the need for a new hydrotherapy pool on The Milestone School site and the need, not only for better hydrotherapy, but also for improved facilities for sport, therapies and social and work opportunities, for people with severe and complex additional needs from across Gloucestershire. The following is a list of some of our achievements so far:

• The Chamwell Centre Appeal was launched in November 2016 and reached its £5.1 million capital fundraising target in December 2019.

• A dedicated and highly expert board of trustees has guided the Charity through the planning and design phase, obtaining the necessary planning permission and a 100 year lease at a peppercorn rent from Gloucestershire County Council. Phase one, comprising essential campus works and an accessible playground, were completed in 2017, paving the way to begin construction of The Chamwell Centre itself.

• Although a new charity, with no initial funds and no prospect of statutory financial support, Chamwell was able to draw on the richness of talents brought by its trustees in health, education, construction, legal and financial matters. The team managed the entire project themselves, with just 30 hours per week of paid administrative support, allowing costs to be kept to a minimum whilst benefiting from the best available expert advice. Professionals from health, education and social care have contributed to service planning and advice on the needs of the future service users has been obtained from personal contacts, surveys and focus groups. In 2020 The Chamwell Centre Charity’s support costs were £45,578 representing 34.2% of total costs £133,176.

• The construction company, Speller Metcalfe began work in February 2019 with a planned one year programme. All went smoothly – on time and on budget – until, three weeks from planned completion, the Covid-19 crisis struck and all work was suspended and later resumed with severe restriction.

The Charity is enormously grateful to all those who have contributed so much to its success, from pro bona legal and accountancy advice, leading to the setting up of the Charity, to the generous grants made by trusts, companies and individuals, which enabled the ambitious fund raising target of £5.1 million to be achieved, to the County Council, architecture, design and construction teams who have brought the plans into reality and above all to the many individual organisations and potential service users, who have supported us and helped us to understand the wishes and needs of the population we hope to serve.

We look forward very soon to opening Chamwell’s doors to the exciting times ahead. Dr Marie Owen, Chair of Trustees

Trustees’ report

The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report, together with the audited financial statements for the Company for 1st August 2019 to 31st July 2020. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), effective 1 January 2019.

> Objectives and activities

Our aim is to provide a visionary and unique centre to enables pupils of The Milestones School and SAND Academy, along with children, young people and adults throughout Gloucestershire, to overcome disability.

Our vision is to enhance the well-being of those with disability – how they feel, how they function on a personal and social level and how they feel about their lives as a whole.

We have a duty to report on the public benefit that we deliver under Section Four of the Charities Act 2011. Taking the Charity Commission’s guidance into consideration, the Board of Trustees is satisfied that our public benefit requirements have been met. Once The Chamwell Centre opens we aim to provide hydrotherapy and a range of services to support disabled people in Gloucestershire including The Milestone School and SAND Academies Trust and the wider community.

2019-20 has been a highly eventful and challenging year for The Chamwell Centre Charity. The construction project commenced in February 2019 and was due to be completed by February 2020. Allowing one month for fit-out, it should have been ready for opening at Easter 2020. All was going well with the construction, which was on time and on budget. The £5.1 million capital fundraising target had been completed by December 2019 and the Charity had turned its attention from capital fundraising to delivering the services for which it was designed. Unfortunately, by February 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic was starting to take hold and by March 2020, we were in lockdown with all construction work on The Chamwell Centre halted, within three weeks of completion.

All Chamwell’s plans had to be put into reverse, planned staff appointments were placed on hold and instead of planning future services, all efforts went into keeping the Charity safe for the indefinite period it was going to have to survive, with no income generation and an uncertain future. The Trustees took stock of the situation and in March produced an interim report and survival plan (see Appendix 1).

Our progress towards completion

Chamwell reached its fundraising target of £5.1 million for the capital appeal in December 2019. Construction work had commenced in February 2019 and was well on its way to meeting the scheduled completion date of March 2020, with the hydrotherapy pool due to open to The Milestone School and SAND Academy after the Easter break and all facilities opening to school and the wider public by June 2020.

We were delighted to see the outside of the building looking wonderful, its wood, glass and stainless steel, glinting in the sun, with The Chamwell Centre sign already in place. Inside, the pool already contained water and the cafe, soft play and other specialist areas were taking shape. Gas, electricity and water were connected, and everything was going according to plan.

By February 2020, the Charity’s fundraising focus had switched from capital to core funding and service provision. Planning was also focused on services to be offered and widespread consultations were taking place with school departments and potential outside user groups. Sub-committees were formed to draw up detailed plans, equipment requirements, staffing levels and timetabling for the many different aspects of The Chamwell Centre.

Job descriptions had been drafted for a CEO position, head of therapies and head of catering services. Plans were in place for many more minor posts to be filled by young people with additional needs on work experience and apprenticeships.

Temporary closure

Unfortunately, on 23 March 2020, all construction work was stopped on The Chamwell Centre because of the Covid-19 epidemic and an interim Trustees meeting was held online on 27 March 2020 to review our position.

The earliest provisional date for work to re-start on the site was June 2020, which would mean that fitting and finishing of all areas could be completed, ready for opening to both school and public, around January 2021. Since construction of the Chamwell building was still a few weeks from completion, it remained the responsibility of the contractor, Speller Metcalfe, to insure the building and provide security and any maintenance needed during the suspension period.

The definitive CEO, head of therapies and head of catering services posts had to be put on hold, so as not to encumber the Charity with ongoing staffing expenses in the suspension period.

How we continued

Our Charity Administrator, Amanda Phillips, stayed on, albeit working from home, at 30 hours per week and Chamwell co-opted one of the administrative staff from SAND Academy for 0. 5 full time equivalent per week to help compile timetables, policies and plan operations for the opening of The Chamwell Centre.

Consultant support for finance and fundraising was reviewed, with as many tasks as possible being completed ‘in house’ by the regular staff and Trustees.

Subcommittees met to plan detailed equipment and operation of the various parts of the Centre and that continued, as did discussions with focus groups and future stakeholders.

The Charity finances and budget plan were reviewed. Although funding was tight, by restricting current operating costs to the minimum as planned, we were confident that we would be able to meet all ongoing costs and the final phase payments.

However, an urgent need to raise funds for specialist equipment and services continued. Since many of our potential users have no form of independent transport, we plan to fundraise for a wheelchair-adapted, electric minibus to transport clients to and from The Chamwell Centre. We also need equipment for specialist user groups, such as the special needs nursery.

Once The Chamwell Centre is open to the public, The Milestone School and The SAND Academy Trust will pay a contribution to cover its use of the building during school hours. The Chamwell Centre Charity will commission all estate services and cleaning from The SAND Academy Trust.

Therapy services will be funded partly by income generated by The Chamwell Centre but we plan to fundraise in order to subsidise services to be offered to disadvantaged and chronically disabled people. We plan to use the suspension period to seek funding for such services.

How we managed our finances

We carefully considered the impact of Covid-19 on the Charity’s finances particularly the impact of the temporary closure of the site.

Our Independent Monitoring Surveyors, Evans Jones inspected and reported on the development and provided a detailed cashflow. The asset remained under the control of Speller Metcalfe the contractor who has responsibility for insuring and protecting the site until practical completion. Additionally, The Milestone School site team and the Charity Administrator checked the site regularly.

The Trustees assessed the ability to continue as a going concern and confirmed the cash position remained positive. We are in the process of updating our build budget and 5-year operational business plan, to ensure the long-term success of the Charity.

Reported at Trustee Board on 20 October 2020:

• Cash position £376,816.

• Accrued Income £130,000.

• Liabilities £99,532 relating to build contract 3% retention provision of which 50% due on completion and the balance 12 months following completion. Additionally, we have committed to £31,013.25 purchases in respect of the fit-out.

• Fixtures and Fittings budget £175,000 of which £76,904 paid.

In terms of future fundraising, socially distanced site visits resumed in the summer. We wrote to all our major funders and updated our website and maintained our presence on social media.

Finally, we fully considered whether to apply for Government support including the Covid-19 business interruption loans, this was not considered appropriate, as we were likely to continue to be considered as ‘business as usual’. Our Charity Administrator continued to support Trustees, fundraise and develop services, working from home. The job retention scheme was also not considered appropriate.

Summary

The Chamwell Centre is set to become a rich and exciting resource for children and adults with disability in Gloucestershire. Thanks to the strength of The Chamwell Centre Charity and the enormous dedication of all involved, The Chamwell Centre continues to weather the storm of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Towards the end of May 2020, work slowly started to resume on The Chamwell Centre. Progress was slow, with social distancing and reduced numbers of staff but at the time of writing (October 2020) the main shell is almost complete, the pool has water in it, soft play and rebound therapy are looking wonderful, the kitchen is installed and the climbing wall is expected in November.

Some of our outside services continued to take place during lockdown, such as RaceRunning at The Blackbridge Athletics Track, where we have some very fine elite athletes training for international competition. We loaned our RaceRunners to children who were self isolating at home. We hope Mixed Ability Rugby will resume later in the Autumn Term, but this obviously dependent on Government guidelines.

We hope to be able to open The Chamwell Centre to pupils of The Milestone School/ SAND Academy Trust early in December 2020 and to the public shortly afterwards. The whole building has an air of brightness and freshness and we have taken advantage of the fit-out taking place in the Covid-19 era to build in appropriate protective measures.

Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2020

Adaptations for Covid-19 Protection

Already the spacious design of Chamwell allows fresh air to circulate and there is no recycling of air in the building. The surfaces are new and smooth for easy sanitisation and furniture will be arranged to maintain social distancing and permit separation by portable screens.

We have a comprehensive policy for management of Covid-19 risk, involving risk assessments and recommendations for all activities. All immediate Covid risks will be managed according to the official guidelines in operation at the time. Chamwell’s site team, shared with The Milestone School, will employ the sanitization methods advised for special schools, as well as for hydrotherapy pools.

We will maintain separation of groups or, in the case of the most vulnerable, of individuals, throughout the Centre. The Cafe area will have a screened servery counter and till area. All tills and vending machines will be set up for contactless payments.

Visitors and service users will be temperature screened on entry and invited to provide personal details for tracing, in the event of a Covid-19 positive person having entered the building. There will be hand sanitisers throughout the building and all areas will be cleaned and chemically sanitized between groups.

Chamwell’s non-ambulant changing area will have 8 individual bays, separated by more than 2 metres, which can be separated by portable glass screening. The twin hoist ‘H’ frame system will allow users to have separate transfer to the pool, whilst maintaining a safe distance.

Whilst the ambient risk of Covid-19 in the general population remains high, services may be restricted to low risk groups or those who have been isolating in a relatively low risk environment.

Chamwell Services

Chamwell’s first purpose, during school hours, is to provide facilities for the pupils of The Milestone School and SAND Academy, under a Service Level Agreement between Chamwell and SAND Academy. In addition there will be a therapeutic nursery provision for pre-school children with severe and complex additional needs. The atrium cafe area will remain under the management of The Chamwell Centre, pupils will be able to gain work experience and to display young enterprise projects during school hours. The Levinge Suite, a large multi purpose area on the upper floor, will be used by the Teaching School to run courses for teachers, parents and carers.

Community health professionals, such as paediatricians, child psychiatric team, community nurses and therapists, as well as advisors on benefits and social care, will be invited to use the various therapy rooms at Chamwell, to hold clinics during the school day, allowing better liaison between professionals and carers, whilst avoiding the need to take children out of school for consultations.

Chamwell Therapies

Outside school hours The Chamwell Centre will run its own therapy services. The majority of these will be run by Chamwell’s own professionally qualified therapists and practitioners, supported by trained assistants and volunteers.

Longlevens Rugby Club is a grassroots Club in Gloucester whose grounds sit adjacent to the new Chamwell Centre and The Milestone School. Established over 50 years ago Longlevens Rugby has a rich heritage and continues to be a vibrant clubhouse featuring 4 senior playing teams including our Mixed Ability Team the ‘Gloucester Griffins’ for those with mental or physical disabilities or the perception of “not being good enough”.

Longlevens RFC shares The Chamwell Centre’s vision that young people with special educational needs (SEN) can participate in sport and enjoy all its benefits. We have worked together since 2017, establishing a Mixed Ability Rugby programme for pupils at The Milestone School and SAND Academy, and in the community, with the support of Active Gloucestershire, Gloucester Rugby Club and Wooden Spoon. We are thrilled with the uptake, engaging 60 pupils from The Milestone School, 30 pupils from Alderman Knight School and 20 pupils from Belmont School at their dedicated weekly sessions. More children will join shortly with 25 pupils at The Shrubberies School and 50 children at The Heart of Forest School in Summer term.

This season it was announced that the rugby club had been shortlisted for the Gallagher Rugby Club of the Season because of its efforts in the disabled community in partnership with The Chamwell Centre. This is a national and prestigious award.

Research update – Dr Nicola Theis

This year, a number of research projects have been completed by Trustees of The Chamwell Centre Charity. A number of other projects are currently underway or are in the planning stages, for which funding is being sought:

1. “The effect of COVID-19 restrictions on physical and mental health of disabled children and young adults” led by Dr Nicola Theis (Trustee)

Status: Completed

The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Covid-19) has led to a worldwide pandemic, which caused UK home confinement to begin on 23rd March 2020, prohibiting people from leaving their home, with the exception of essential activities such as buying food, accessing healthcare and to take part in up to 60 minutes outdoor exercise per day. However, for the disabled community who rely heavily on access to specialist equipment, facilities and therapies, lockdown restrictions are likely to have profoundly affected both physical and mental health. We launched a Covid-19 survey on 17 June 2020 (for 4 weeks) to investigate the physical and mental health of disabled children and young adults, before and three months into the lockdown restrictions to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.

There were 125 respondents to the survey, who completed it on behalf of their child with a physical and/or intellectual disability. The key findings of the survey were:

• 61% of respondents had observed negative physical changes in their child since lockdown began and over 90% reported a decline in mental health.

• The greatest reported impacts were on behaviour, where aggressive, selfharming and anxious behaviours as a result of lockdown were noted, as well as low mood states, more sedentary behaviours and learning and social regression.

• Vigorous intensity physical activity was 48% lower during lockdown compared to before, and light/moderate physical activity was also was 38% lower.

• The time disabled people spent sitting increased from 2-4 hours per day to 4-6 hours.

• A lack of access to facilities, activities and equipment (hydrotherapy, sensory and soft play in particular) were reported as the reasons for reduced physical activity.

• Mental health was reported as a “bit worse” or “much worse” on all mental health items.

• 18% of respondents reported positive impacts of lockdown, with some respondents reporting their child had done “much more” physical activity, including cycling, garden games and social media exercise initiatives over the lockdown period.

• A deterioration in learning, behaviour and fitness were the most frequently reported short and long-term concerns of parents/carers. Parents/carers felt that going back to school, accessing therapy, activities and respite for parents/ carers were the key ways to improve their child’s physical and mental health in coming months.

2. “The effect of RaceRunning on cardiometabolic disease risk factors and mobility in young people with moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy” led by Dr Nicola Theis (Trustee)

Status: Ongoing

The purpose of this research was to determine whether participating in RaceRunning sessions over a significant period, reduces cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with CP or those with an acquired brain injury that affects their coordination. This research project is part of a multi centre intervention study (University of Gloucestershire and Queen Margaret’s University) conducted over 24 weeks, following a grant from Action Medical Research for £72,422. 18 participants were recruited into the study between September 2019-February 2020, and 6 had completed baseline testing. The study was stopped on 14 March 2020 due to Covid-19 and has not yet restarted. When the study re-starts, we will need to re-test participants from baseline.

3. “The effects of hydrotherapy on physical function, participation and wellbeing”

Status: Planning and seeking funding led by Dr Nicola Theis (Trustee)

There is strong anecdotal evidence for the effectiveness of hydrotherapy in managing a number of child and adult disabilities, including arthritis and muscular dystrophy. However, the evidence-base for hydrotherapy is very limited. In collaboration with Gloucestershire NHS Trust, we are currently seeking funding from Gloucestershire Arthritis Trust, Muscular Dystrophy UK and other organisations for a series of studies to investigate the effects of hydrotherapy on physical function, participation and mental wellbeing in a number of paediatric and adult disabilities.

Who will be helped?

The Chamwell Centre will primarily serve the pupils of The Milestone School and SAND Academy during school hours, 9.00 to 3.30 on weekdays in term time. The remainder of the time will be for the use of all in the community who can benefit from its services.

The Milestone School is one of the largest special schools in the Country with 324 pupils drawn from the whole of Gloucestershire. The pupils are aged between 2 and 16 years and all have severe learning disability and complex special needs. Some have severe physical disabilities and are not able to walk independently. There is a range of medical needs ranging from epilepsy to gastrostomy feeding and some of the children suffer from severe genetic abnormalities and neurodegenerative conditions. An increasing number of pupils have Autistic Spectrum Disorders as their primary or secondary diagnosis, which presents as a hidden disability.

Chamwell will enable children with these conditions to access the facilities they need to keep them active and participating in sport and leisure activities to the best of their ability and to extend their achievements even further.

Outside school hours, the Centre will be open to all who may need its facilities in Gloucestershire. Examples are:

18

The Chamwell Centre Charity

• Children and young people accessing Local Authority Short Breaks – there is a great shortage of facilities for people with physical or learning disability to access with their Personal Assistants whilst out on Short Breaks. One of the main facilities for Short Breaks in the County has recently closed, leaving an even greater shortage. Chamwell will offer Playdays and Awaydays – which will offer opportunities for children and young people to spend a day using the wonderful Chamwell facilities whilst being expertly cared for by Chamwell staff. For school leavers and young adults there will be youth groups, sports clubs, accessible activities for those with physical, emotional or behavioural difficulties and the opportunity to socialise in the cafe. This was one of the principal requests of our focus groups. In order to make these services affordable, The Chamwell Centre is applying for funding from charitable and statutory bodies and participants will be able to contribute, using their direct payments for Short Breaks.

• Family Access – all families will be able to book the pool or other therapy areas to access for family recreation, special events such as birthday celebrations or to join a regular recreational swimming club, where families of a special child can relax together in a way which is impossible without a pool which is heated to the temperature which the child can tolerate, without succumbing to painful spasms.

• Pre-school children with disability – currently facilities for these infants with severe physical and learning disability or early childhood autism are severely limited in Gloucester. We will offer hydrotherapy and a special playgroup with access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy for these children, as well as parent support groups, enabling specialist techniques to be used at home. These will be in addition to the statutory provision and will provide the expert support needed for early intervention, to assure the best possible neurodevelopmental outcome for these children.

• Children and young people in mainstream school with physical disability – there are many children who need hydrotherapy who cannot access it because of lack of facilities in Gloucestershire. These include children with muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, neuromuscular conditions and severe arthritis. Many go to Acorns Hospice in Worcester to get their therapy. Chamwell will offer hydrotherapy and its other resources for these children, much nearer to home.

Young enterprise projects allowing opportunities to interact with the community.

The Chamwell Centre Charity

• Post 16 pupils who are being educated in local colleges have little or no access to hydrotherapy. Although we have the National Star College nearby, only 3 young people per year from The Milestone School are able to access it and there are many more who would benefit from similar resources. Although Chamwell will not be able to match National Star’s resources, its hydrotherapy and other facilities will be available to all young people who need them.

• People suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, joint replacement surgery and injuries or chronic pain can all benefit from hydrotherapy. These people will be able to join specialist hydrotherapy groups or to book themselves into mixed sessions. Our therapists will perform an assessment prior to treatment to ensure that the hydrotherapy is safe and appropriate.

• Young people with disability require opportunities to interact with the community and practice work skills. These will be available in the atrium and cafe area, which will provide a resource for people in the neighbourhood as well as service users, to socialise and buy simple food and beverages, served by senior pupils of The Milestone School and young people from local colleges doing work experience and apprenticeships, directed by our own staff and supervised by their own tutors. Young enterprise projects can also take place in that space.

• Young disabled athletes have the opportunity to take part in special athletics events at the Blackbridge Stadium, alongside mainstream athletes. We have developed the new sport of RaceRunning and ours is one of four clubs designated by CP Sport to lead on this new Paralympic sport in England. One of our athletes won gold, silver and bronze at the Cerebral Palsy World Games in Barcelona this last year and went on to win 4 gold medals at the British Championships.

> Achievements and Performance

Financial review

a. Going concern

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the Charity’s operational plans due to the delayed completion of the Centre. The Trustees have reviewed the position and how they plan to continue monitoring the likely impact. Initially the Trustees met weekly to assess the impact and review plans, including a detailed communication plan. In addition to the 5-year business plan, a short term cashflow forecast was prepared to demonstrate that cash remained positive and help monitor ongoing reserves.

After making appropriate enquiries the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in accounting policies.

b. Income

The total amount raised for the year 2020 was £719,086 (£758,385 – 2019). Successfully raising sufficient funds, including pledges, to hit our Capital Fund raising target in December 2019 which enables completion of the building and fit-out.

c. Fundraising

The fundraising efforts are now focused on the operational running costs of the Centre and our services. We have launched our direct fundraising campaign to raise £230,000 per annum towards the ongoing operating costs. Raising awareness and support for the Charity via our website, social media and associated marketing tools.

d. Expenditure

We continue to contain expenditure within a very tight budget, ensuring that the majority of the funds raised allowed us to complete the building and fit-out. The outdoor adventure play and sports area (Phase One) came into use in November 2017 and building of the Centre started in January 2019 and is expected to complete winter 2020, delayed due to the impact of Covid-19.

Direct fundraising and marketing costs have been contained within budget, continuing to benefit from the skills and abilities of the Board of Trustees and volunteers. Support costs have remained low and staff costs remain just 3% of funds raised. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to £22,624 (£20,792 – 2019) relating in the main to Phase One of the development.

e. Assets under construction

Following a thorough tender process we appointed Speller Metcalfe under the JCT Design and Build (DB) 2016 Edition form of contract. Collateral warranties have been provided by the contractor and sub-contractor. During 2020 costs equated to £2,493,767 (£969,440 – 2019) these have been capitalised in relation to the construction of The Chamwell Centre as assets under construction totaling £3,679,446.

The Chamwell Centre Charity

The long lease from Gloucestershire City Council (GCC) for 100 years at a peppercorn rent, will be executed by GCC on completion of the project. In the meantime, The Chamwell Centre Charity will hold a development agreement with GCC, of which the lease is an appendix. GCC is bound to grant the lease in agreed form on completion of The Chamwell Centre.

f. Funds

At year end total funds stand at £4,577,436. The level of unallocated restricted funds towards completion of capital project and fit-out amounted to £110,263. Free reserves at year end amounted to £219,221 (Note 16) and Unrestricted funds amounted to £226,223 (Note 15).

g. Reserves Policy

Given the capital project is nearing completion, the Charity has reviewed its reserves policy and created a method of calculating reserves as 3 month’s forecast expenditure which is not too high, to limit the amount we spend on our charitable activities, or too low to risk being unable to run the centre. This assists with strategic planning and preparation of the 5-year budget to ensure sustainability of the operations. Our reserves policy will be reviewed annually. Reserves target set at 3 months net operational costs £57,000 as at year end gave us 4 times cover, based on net unrestricted funds.

h. Plans for 2020

We hope to complete in winter 2020, the construction encompassing the main building with hydrotherapy pool, soft play, interactive climbing wall, rebound therapy, Changing Places facility, cafe and other indoor facilities.

We have considered the impact of Covid-19, whilst preparing our Business Plan including a 5 year budget. This covers the operations, including the impact of social distancing on income generation and the likely additional costs of including additional sanitisation. We continue to develop and have identified various funding sources including major grant funding and our direct campaign which focuses on identifying potential donors to build a healthy funding stream to support future running costs. We hope for a small surplus income once operational.

g. Risk Management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company and are satisfied that systems and procedures to mitigate our exposure to major risks such as Liquidity, Construction, Cybersecurity, Compliance, Data security & protection and HR & people risk.

Information on fundraising practices

Until 2018, fundraising was largely done by the Trustees and volunteers, as the Charity had no available funding to employ a fundraising team. However, this was not sustainable in the long term and Mrs Liz Haigh-Reeve of The Fundraising Works, a company regulated by the Funding Regulator, was engaged to advise and assist with grant fundraising. This has proven a very fruitful relationship, with continued success in accruing funds, whilst freeing trustees to concentrate on the development and planning for the future of The Chamwell Centre.

We adopt the Funding Regulator Code of Fundraising Practice. We are aware of the complaints handling process, although we have received no complaints. We aim to be legal, open, honest and respectful and take into account the needs of any possible donor who may be in vulnerable circumstances or need extra care and support. We have a written Safeguarding policy for dealing with children and vulnerable adults.

The Chair of Trustees’ leads on the fundraising strategy and is aware of the Charity Commissions guide to fundraising which is divided into large grant applications, small grants and community fundraising. Guided visits to the school and more recently the new centre have been an especially successful part of our fundraising campaign, allowing potential donors to see first-hand the need for The Chamwell Centre and meet some of the children who will use it.

We hit our capital appeal target £5.1 million in donations or firm pledges in December 2019. This enabled us to complete the build and fit-out The Chamwell Centre, which we hope to open shortly. The infrastructure and outdoor adventure play area opened in November 2017, at a cost of £600,000.

We have now moved into the next phase of fundraising, focusing on the operation of The Chamwell Centre, raising funds to run activities, employ therapy and support staff and contribute to the ongoing costs. Dr Marie Owen recently launched our appeal to raise £230,000 towards the annual running costs.

Fundraising events in the last year have included a Family Fun Day for pupils of The Milestone School and SAND Academy at Highnam Court (courtesy of Roger Head); World Wind Band Concert at Cheltenham College and the annual Bovis Homes Constructors Ball. Fundraising raffles and auctions were held at these events. Any monies were collected via donation tins and Gift Aid envelopes using dual control measures at all times in the handling of donations.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also directors of The Chamwell Centre Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
