The provision a day service for 19-25 year young adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities. The aims and objectives of the provision are to promote independence through life skills and inclusion into the community; we focus our person centered planning into four main areas which we feel embraces the philosophy of our service and the needs of the young adults; activities planned for each individual varies and are specific to their individual needs. We hold a parents forum to support the families with the significant challenges they face on a daily basis. The Trustees meet every eight weeks to review the ongoing performance, and financial position to ensure that objectives are being met and define strategy. Sub-committee's are set up when appropriate to manage individual projects. The day-to-day running of the charity and the implementation of policy, and procedure is delegated to a manager. This key role delivers the overall objectives of the charity and is responsible for the effective running of the service within the guidelines set by the Trustees. The manager is well supported by the Trustees. We have developed close partnership with other similar organisations and work closely with health practioners and multi-agencies. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** It is our aim to retain £150,000 in the unrestricted general fund to ensure we have enough reserves to enable us to continue to run an effective charity. We have maintained this reserve. ## **FUTURE PLANS** In the coming 18 months we will be working towards opening a new centre with more space in order to offer our services to more individuals and make them more accessible. The estimated cost of the new centre is £900,000 and all excess reserves are saved for this purpose. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** ## **Registered Charity number** 1166859 ## **Principal address** Inglemire Lane Hull East Yorkshire HU6 8LA ## **Trustees** Mrs C Hornshaw Mrs P Allan Mrs K Bayram Mr I Bourne Ms E Harrison Miss E Vine Trustee (resigned 31/7/2024) Mr A Brookes (resigned 30/4/2024) Mr J Flavell (appointed 10/9/2024) Page 1 **Platform (Hull)** **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Independent Examiner** 360 Accountants Limited 18-19 Albion Street Hull East Yorkshire HU1 3TG ## **Bankers** HSBC Bank Plc Merit House Priory Park West Saxon Way Hessle East Yorkshire HU13 9PB P M Allan Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by: 19 Dec 2025 ........................................................................ Mrs P Allan - Trustee Page 2 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Platform (Hull)** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Platform (Hull)** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Platform (Hull) (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements 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. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
