TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The charity's objectives are for the relief of children and young people in the London Borough of Bexley and surrounding areas who have disabilities, in particular by establishing and improving facilities for such children and young people and by providing and assisting in the provision of assistance to their families and carers.

Bexley Snap has the vision that disabled children have choices and a right to a fulfilling life.

To achieve this, we offer a variety of different clubs for disabled children and young people, while reducing the isolation and frustration experienced by their families.

We do this by:

We are committed to the following values:

Achievements and performance

Our Early Years project welcomes families at the start of their journey supporting them through diagnosis of their child’s condition, signposting, emotional support linking with other families to reduce sense of isolation and modelling practical measures to aid development through play. 19 different children regularly accessed play sessions with their parent/carer, totalling 478.5 hrs.

We are exploring the viability of opening a Nursery in 2025 to meet the identified need of more SEND-specific places for nursery age children in Bexley, complementing our support through our Early Years programme.

The requests for spaces at our commissioned services through the London Borough of Bexley Children With Disabilities Service continue to exceed demand.

Individual targets are set for children attending our Holiday schemes and Little Explorers Saturday clubs with milestone achievements celebrated. 4,142.25 short break hours delivered to 86 different children.

Funding through the Bexley HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) programme enabled us to deliver additional holiday scheme provision of 376 hours during the Easter and summer holidays to 14 different disabled children eligible for free school meals. 100% attendance.

Additional funding via The London Community Fund Nourish The Nation Summer Programme enabled 41 children and young people aged 5-16 to receive support across the summer school holidays, providing a further 375.75 hours of activities, including meals for all, per session.

Four youth groups (Empire, My Space, YAC and Vibe) for various age groups between 12 to 25 years focus on social and independent living skills. This year, 47 young people attended across the clubs, equating to 2646.25 hours of support.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Jack Petchey Achievement Awards scheme continues to provide recognition for individual members who make a positive contribution/support others, or achieve personal success within their youth groups, as voted for by their peers. The associated funding complements youth group activities and provide additional equipment or trips out chosen by the nominee. 5 young people were awarded this year.

To embed social and independent living skills and increase our offer available through our Youth activities, Snap joined the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme. Each award involves helping the community/environment, improving fitness, developing new skills, and planning, training for and completing an expedition. 8 Young People participated, with 5 successfully completing the Bronze Award this period. 7 attended the Expedition.

Funding awarded for a 2 year Drama club enabled us to enrich the offer to young people with a variety of roles, specialist equipment and planned progression to perform in a local theatre. 15 young people were involved in the rehearsals/performance of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Our partnership with Woodside Academy has strengthened with the continued offer of sport/physical activities after school, one-off events, including our 30th Anniversary Family Fund Day celebration, and additional venue access when we expand support through school holidays.

The Famly App has been positively received with all members engaging with the product to receive regular communication and updates about their child during sessions and upcoming services available. Providing two-way communication, this has streamlined our booking processes and enhanced the information shared with families.

20 volunteers regularly supported us with governance, office administration, and involvement in club activities directly with our members.

Our 30th Anniversary Family Fund Day brought together over 100 members of the SEND Community and their families, past and present Snap Trustees, corporate sponsors, Staff and Volunteers to celebrate the work of the Charity and the positive impact this has made to our members during this historic milestone. We thank everyone involved and look forward to the next 30 years!

Financial review

The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. They show a surplus of £35,197 (2024: £18,648).

Reserves policy

At 31st March 2025 the charity’s reserves were £185,017 (2024: £149,820)

The trustees have adopted a policy that the charity should hold three months’ expenditure in uncommitted reserves to provide adequate working capital and the resources to fund an orderly close should it become necessary. At 31st March 2025 uncommitted reserves, excluding fixed assets of £80,359 (2024: £57,706), represented approximately 3.9 (2024: 3.0) months’ expenditure.

Major risks

As part of their duties the Trustees have considered the risks to Bexley Snap's stability and ability to continue its work. The Trustees have done this by identifying and analysing risks by severity of risk and the likelihood of it happening and agreed action to manage these risks.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is governed by its Constitution, which was adopted when the charity was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 17th May 2016, as amended on 28th February 2022.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEXLEY SNAP

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Bexley Snap (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I 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.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Bexley Snap is a charitable incorporated organisation registered on 17 May 2016. The trustees, who are also members of the Management Committee, are named in the Trustees' Annual Report.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. The cost of raising and administering such funds is charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Intangible income which represents donated goods and services is included at the value to the charity only where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Revenue grants are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities on the earlier of when they are received or when they are receivable, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred to that period.

Grants for capital purchases are credited to restricted income when received. Depreciation of fixed assets purchased with such grants is charged against the restricted fund, or against a designated equipment fund, where acquisition of the asset has satisfied the donor's intentions. Where a fixed asset is donated to the charity for its own use, it is treated in a similar way to a restricted grant.

Investment income, including interest, is credited to income in the year in which it is receivable.

1.5 Expenditure

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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Expenditure on raising funds comprises those costs incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the cost of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with enabling the charity to comply with external regulation, constitutional and statutory requirements and in providing support to the trustees in the discharge of their statutory duties.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Support costs are allocated to Fundraising, Governance and Charitable Activities on the basis of effort expended by management and administrative staff on these activities.

The charity is not registered for VAT. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Furniture, fixtures & fittings 5 years Equipment computers 3 years, play equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 8 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

(Continued)

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.9 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation and income tax as its income is applied for charitable purposes.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Allocation of support costs

The allocation and apportionment of support costs is based on direct costs expended for each activity.

In the trustees' judgement, no other material estimates have been used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Capital Reserve

This fund holds the funds designated by Snap's Management Committee for future expenditure on capital equipment necessary to provide continuity of services

Investment Fund

During the year ending 31 March 2005, a legacy was received from the estate of Mrs Nelhe Adelaide Johnson and that of her son, Mr Maurice Allan Johnson. The Management Committee decided that £100,000 should be held in an investment fund, in order to provide some annual income for charitable activities and to protect the value of the capital. The fund is held in reserve for unforeseen emergencies and is used to assure financial stability of the charity's operations, particularly where funding shortfalls occur. It is also used to fund the start-up costs of new projects and initiatives.

Exit Strategy

This fund has been designated by the Management Committee for use only in the event of Snap's funding drying up to such an extent that it has to downsize substantially or can no longer continue to provide services and to support families. It comprises statutory redundancy payments only.
