## **Dyslexia Cornwall Trustees' Report** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The purpose of the charity is to support the needs of dyslexic children and young people in education or training and adults in unemployment, training or in the workplace. This is achieved by raising public and professional awareness of dyslexia and campaigning for appropriate provision for dyslexics in local schools and colleges, and appropriate support in the employment sector. A key aim is also better understanding of dyslexics in the wider society and less discrimination. 

The charity offers advice and guidance to dyslexic people, family and friends, and provides training for those in the statutory or voluntary sector, in business, education or employment services. 

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to those aims and objectives. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity now signposts individuals to services, but continues to develop paid-for services and networking with other Cornish charities and organisationsin an effort to make the charity sustainable for the future. 

## **Par Bay Big Local** 

There is a small balance of £375 remaining in this fund.  None of this fund has been used during 2024 and the balance is carried forward for future use. 

## **Postcode Local Trust / People’s Postcode Lottery** 

We received Grant Funding of £25,000 on 26 August 2022 – project start date 31 October 2022. Postcode Local Trust is a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. 

This funding was used to employ an Administrator (16 hours per week) and cover our core costs for 18 months until 30 April 2024. 

## **Cornwall Community Foundation** 

We received Grant Funding of £2,062 in December 2023, to fund printing of new leaflets and essential training updates for staff, volunteers and trustees. 

The Cornwall Community Foundation helps people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by awarding small grants to grassroots organisations who are working to overcome the challenges of disadvantage, exclusion and poverty in their communities.  This funding was fully spent by 29 February 2024.

**Dyslexia Cornwall Trustees' Report** 

## **British Dyslexia Association** 

We were successful in meeting the British Dyslexia Association criteria for a project which delivered face-to-face teaching and tutoring to children or adults with dyslexia or dyscalculia, supporting the expansion or extension of work already being done or potentially funding a new project. 

We received Grant Funding of £2,000 in November 2023.  This funding is being used to fund a Pilot Project, to provide group face-to-face tuition in Study Skills, Revision Strategies and Examination Techniques for the cohort of 16years + students who must re-sit their English and Maths GCSEs in 2024.  We facilitated a number of workshops dureing the autemn term 2024 and plan to facilitate further workshops during the spring term of 2025. 

## **People’s Postcode Lottery Local Trust (2024 to 2026)** 

Funded support thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery 

We received Grant Funding of £21,000 from 01 November 2024 for 18 months.  This funding is unrestricted, meaning that we can spend it on whatever we choose provided we keep within the remit of our constitution.  This funding is being used alongside the National Lottery funding to support our work until 31 April 2026. 

## **Other Activities** 

In addition to the above the charity operates a dyslexia friendly website, which was redesigned in 2016, making information more accessible and as dyslexia friendly as possible. 

The charity also works closely with the Cornwall Council, Cognition and Learning Service to assist schools in achieving Inclusive Dyslexia Friendly School accreditation status. 

Finally, the charity operates a helpline often providing the first point of contact for people seeking help or advice. This service is operated by our hard-working helpline volunteers and without their commitment we would be unable to provide this important service. 

## **Financial review** 

The income for the year increased to £46,317 (2023 decreased to £17,545). Expenditure decreased to £24,659 (2023 : £27,744). The overall surplus was £21,658 (2023 deficit of £10,199). 

## **Investment policy** 

The trustees regularly review the cash held by the charity and place any surplus funds in an interest bearing deposit account when appropriate. 

Page 3 



**Dyslexia Cornwall Trustees' Report** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees aim to retain reserves to ensure the charity’s long-term viability. This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis. Unrestricted funds currently stand at £17,075 (2023 : £18,980) and the charity therefore aims to increase this by achieving an annual surplus. However, achieving an annual surplus is very much dependent on achieving ongoing grant funding support and working partnerships with other organisations. 

The charity continues to research funding streams and if necessary, will use unrestricted funds to support the charity until such time as unrestricted funds fall to £5,000. At this point the charity would curtail activities to website and helpline run entirely by volunteers. 

The Trustees continue to monitor the situation regularly. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by a constitution based on the charity commission CIO association model. 

The charity was registered as a CIO on 23 January 2016 and commenced operating on 01 March 2016 when the activities were transferred from Cornwall Dyslexia Association, registration number 270876. 

## **Recruitment and induction of trustees** 

The trustees who served during the year are shown on page 1.  Suitable individuals are identified as potential new trustees by the existing trustees on the basis of their skills and knowledge. New trustees are inducted into the workings of the charity on appointment. 

## **Key management personnel** 

The trustees consider the board of trustees comprise the key management personnel of the charity, to be in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee received any remuneration in the year for their role as a trustee. Details of the trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 10 to the financial statements. 

## **Pay policy for senior staff** 

The pay of the senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings.  In view of the nature of the charity, the trustees benchmark against pay levels in other similar organisations.

**Dyslexia Cornwall Trustees' Report** 

## **Trustee Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and the 

applicable Statement of Recommended Practice. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

 there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware; and 

 the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as trustees to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information. 

## **Small company provisions** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. 

Approved by the Board on 30th October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Dyslexia Cornwall Independent Examiner's Report** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission 

- under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; 

- and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of 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: 

i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

`o` to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

`o` to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; 

ii) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Dyslexia Cornwall Notes to the Accounts** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with:

- any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within 

- the control of the charity; 

- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and 

- the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations and legacies are voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts. It is included within the accounts when receivable and only when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income. 

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts are included in the accounts at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates 

Page 9 



## **Dyslexia Cornwall Notes to the Accounts** 

Donated goods and services are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.

Liabilities are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes the attributable value added tax which cannot be recovered. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Support costs are the those costs required to support the charity in carrying out its activities and meeting its objects. 

Governance costs include costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and other costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity including the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

## **1.7 Taxation**
