Cyngor Sir Ceredigion Teuluoedd a Chymuned Ceredigion Tudalen 2/14 Machine Translated by Google ## **PWY YDYM NI?** Ers 1978, mae DASH Ceredigion wedi bod yn trefnu amrywiaeth o gynlluniau hamdden ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc anabl o fewn sir Ceredigion. Rydym yn gwneud hyn fel y gall plant anabl lleol a'u teuluoedd gael ansawdd bywyd gwell gyda mynediad at ddewis eang o gyfleusterau a chyfleoedd hamdden.

On behalf of the Trustees I would like to thank the staff team for their hard work and continued professionalism in managing and working with our client group and thank the children, young people their parents /carers for their ongoing support. This coming year will be my last as chair of DASH but look forward to supporting the DASH team through the 25/26 year. ## **Message from Ben Freeman, Manager** A good year for DASH Ceredigion, I am pleased that the trial drop in play sessions were effective. Increased numbers and consistency of attendance at current schemes suggests a beginning of the recovery from the impact of COVID isolation. In planning for the future and being aware of our income streams resulted in staff changes and cost savings to help stabilise DASH for the future. The generosity of Ceredigion residents in their efforts to support DASH as well as their donations are much appreciated.

Here is a description of the most frequently used. TPA – Tim Plant Anabl (Disabled Children’s Team) – a multi-disciplinary (Social Care, Education and Health) team of staff supporting disabled children previously our most regular point of contact for referrals. Now a part of Porth Cynnal. CTLD – Community Team for Learning Disabilities (Disabled Adults Team) – Social Care team supporting disabled Adults living within Ceredigion. Now a part of Porth Cynnal. Porth Cynnal – Part of the new “Integrated Services” model of support developed by Ceredigion. Porth Cynnal provides “Specialist Through Age Services “ More detail here: https://ceri.ceredigion.gov.uk/portal/porth-ceredigion/ SSP / Spot contracts – Contracts purchased by anyone who is able to at a cost covering rate in order to provide specific support for an small group or individual from DASH. Often used when the needs of the young person cannot be met through one of existing contracts. DAW – DASHAWAY Weekends – 12 respite weekends a year, wholly funded by the Local Authority Porth Cynnal. Ty Glyn Davis Trust – Charity owned bungalow at which DAW take place. FF / Families First – Funding stream provided directly from the Welsh Government, managed by the Ceredigion Families First coordinator at a local level. IS there anything missing from this list ? – please ask ! manager@dashceredigion.org.uk Page 14/14 ## **DASH - Actual v Budget for the year April 24 to March 25** Full year income is higher than originally forecast owing mainly to additional funds received for Frendz towards the end of the year. This money to be used going forward from February 24 into 2025/26. Expenditure lower that planned following a significant reduction in overheads during the year. This also reflects in the underspend shown in some project cost out turns. Andy Moore 6/5/2025 ## **DASH – Annual Accounts for the year ended March 31[st] 25** Total income was up significantly year on year and expenditure slightly down. Additional funding from CCC and an £11,000 increase in grants accounted for the higher income year on year. Expenditure was lower across most categories with notable reductions in wages (mostly overheads), venue hire, play equipment purchases and transport costs. It is, however, appropriate to observe that reductions in expenditure should be carefully monitored against the charities aspirations for service provision. Overall this led to a £12,234 surplus against the £52,598 deficit in the previous year. This increased the charity’s funds at the year end to £117,901. Credit for this financial performance must be given to the tight cost control and overhead reduction exercises carried out by DASH’s management and administration team. Andy Moore 9/9/25 ## **DASH - Actual v Budget for the period April 25 to August 25 (5 months to date)** The current picture is complex but encouraging. It is anticipated that the CCC funding will be fully paid as per forecast by the end of the year. The deficit is currently £33,647. Costs of service provision to CCC has actually been higher than budget despite CCC’s withholding of funds against invoices raised. ## Income Significant donations have been received from NFU and Priory Vets. Importantly there are no restrictions on how these funds are spent. In April the Comic Relief Growth fund awarded £22,790 to fund the research project. The money will be used in the second half of the year and the budget adjusted accordingly. In June the Nourish Grant of £3,610 was awarded to meet certain costs of the summer schemes. A PCL award of £25,000 was also received. This is unrestricted and has a useful 18 month time window for use. ## Expenditure For the first 5 months expenditure is £11,000 higher than budget owing to additional staff costs though overall it is thought that the variance is largely owing to timings of payments and will even out going forward. ## Full Year Summary The donations and grants not included in the original budget increase the full year income forecast by £65,537. However, the full year expenditure will also need to be reviewed accordingly to reflect the previously unforeseen additional costs resulting.

Charity number. 1163672 The charity is governed by its Trustees Trustees are appointed by agreement applicaiotn and agreement to existing trustee team. ## **Risk Management** The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The primary risk currently is ensuring that sufficient funding is generated to ensure service levels are maintained Page 1 **DASH (DISABILITIES AND SELF HELP)** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **Objectives and activities** _Please see the annual report_ ## **Public Benefit** In setting the objectives of the Charity and planning our activities, the trustees have paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. ## **Achievement and Performance for the year.** _Please see the annual report_ ## **Financial Review** Ceredigion County Council remain the primary source of income by supplying restricted funds for DASH to provide specific services. During the course of the year to maintain service levels DASH used £13,365 of its unrestricted funds. Overall expenditure exceeded income as funds were used to ensure ongoing service provision. The position is being monitored and reductions in council funding may lead to a reduction in services delivered on their behalf when council restricted funding no longer covers the costs of delivery. ## Reserves Policy - The reserves needed for the prudent financial management of the Charity will be subject to regular and ongoing review by the Board of Trustees as part of their Financial Management of DASH. The level of Reserves will be discussed at each and every Trustees Meeting. This will allow Reserves to be dynamically managed to benefit the aims and objectives of DASH rather than the building of excess cash at bank. Reserves of £50,000 are considered to be prudent at this time. Nik Morgan **----- Start of picture text -----**

General information** The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is incorporated. ## **2. Statement of compliance** These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **3. Accounting policies** ## **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified, if required, by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. ## **Going concern** There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## **Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty** The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgments are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds ## **Incoming resources** All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable - and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. • income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. • income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. Page 6 **DASH (DISABILITIES AND SELF HELP)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **3. (cont) Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Resources expended** Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, - and the sale of donated goods. • expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. • other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. ## **Financial instruments** A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual Provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
