Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	Creating Adventures is a registered charity dedicated to empowering adults with autism and learning disabilities through holistic support and advocacy. Our mission is to nurture mental well- being and foster independence by providing a diverse range of activities. Through our comprehensive timetable, participants have the opportunity to discover their potential, learn new skills, and build confidence within a supportive community. Our inclusive environment offers a second family of friends and staff, providing solace in times of need and celebration in moments of triumph. Together, we create meaningful experiences, champion personal development, and support individuals on their journey to a fulfilling life.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We deliver a weekly programme of activities including a choir, brass band, art club, cookery classes, dance classes, yoga workshops and a 50+ Wellbeing Club. We hold a monthly disco, workshops and events throughout the year to include chocolate making, line dancing classes, pottery classes, a Summer Show, a Christmas Show and a Christmas Snow Ball for our community of adults with autism and learning disabilities and their families.

A total of 3070 hours were donated by volunteers throughout the financial year 2023-2024. Our programme of activities, workshops and annual events wouldn’t be possible without the huge support from our volunteers. We also have a part-time volunteer supporting our office administration and recruiting/coordinating other volunteers to get involved.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	There were many achievements made during 2023 - 2024 with our Recipes for Success cookbook which launched in December 2022. This was followed up with radio interviews and also a large story on Cheshire Life showcasing the members and their successful cookbook. We were in our second year of having Sue Totton on board as Community Engagement Coordinator funded by the Steve MOrgan Foundation. We moved our Head Office and all activities to the Old School Neighbourhood Hub in Warrington which was part of our 3 year Strategy. This meant that we were on site to support our members and run all activities. We changed our Summer Ball to a Summer Show in the form of ‘For One Night Only’ which gave our members across all activities the opportunity to showcase their talents and achievements. This event was the launch of the Disability Awareness Day week at Walton Gardens. 2023 –2024 was also a wonderful year of support with our Corporate Partners and also a fantastic year of fundraising events to include a Quiz Night, Sponsored walk and Skydive. Our activity programme attendance rose from 60 adults per week to 105 adults per week, the Summer Show gave 60 adults the opportunity to shine and the Christmas Ball provided a magical party to 70 adults. We continued to offer day trips and workshops to broadenthe experiences and opportunitiesfor

our members and increase our offer as a charity.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Part of our Strategy was to achieve a base where both our office and programme were under the same roof. This was achieved with our move to The Old School. We introduced our second cookery group in June 2023 due to an increased waiting list and funding from St James’s Place Charitable Foundation. We continued to deliver a successful activity programme and support adults with autism and learning disabilities to live a fulfilled life and achieve new talents. Our choir have had another fantastic year of performances and have also made links with both the Mayor of Warrington, the Deputy Leader of the Council, Culture Warrington and Tatton Park for events.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	2023 – 2024 was a tougher year financially seeing less funding from trusts and foundations hence our reason to run fundraising events. Our objective was to diversify our fundraising- working harder on events and involving corporate supporters.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Our financial position has increased again since the last financial year due to the continued grant from the Steve Morgan Foundation supporting the role of Community Engagement Coordinator and due to an increase in funds raised through events which we have worked extremely hard at to diversify our fundraising.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	We are still working towards developing 6 months reserves which we feel will put us in a good position if times of struggle continue in 2024–2025.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£55645

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements		where relevant about:
The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	During the period of April 2022 to March 2023 our income has been achieved from a variety of sources including Trusts/Foundations, individual donations, corporate support, community donations and gifts in kind.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	We do not currently have an investment policy but are working to have all applicable policies in place.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Having a base was so important for us so when we moved into the Old School this was no longer a risk, but an opportunity. However in March 2024 the centre tried to raise our rent by £400 per month. We managed to negotiate but it left us feeling uneasy about our future there especially given that the centre would not issue us with a lease. As the year has been a tougher year raising funds through grants along with the majority of the voluntary sector, this fight for funding is a possible risk for the charity.

Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees	Para 1.51	All trustees are given an induction pack to read and sign before officially starting in their role. All trustees are also required to complete a DBS check due to the nature of the people we support. We access trustee training opportunities where possible and all trustees receive safeguarding training through Social Care TV, through Getting on Board and through the local CVS.
The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works	Para 1.51	Our Board of Trustees is led by our Chair Tom Neill. We have Sarah Steel as our Treasurer/Trustee, Alison Summersfield, Fiona Thomason and Gill O’Hare as Trustees. Since the last accounting year, Gill O’Hare stepped down from her role as Chair and Tom Neill was voted in as Chair. Fiona Thomason also stepped down as Trustee. Fiona felt that she had taken the role for three and a half years and it was time to allow someone else to offer their experience and time and she would stay as a supporter. Jenny Allcock is Founding Chief Officer, Susan Totton is Community Engagement Coordinator and Denise O’Hare is a part time volunteer supporting office administration and coordinating volunteer support. Our activity team consists of 7 freelance workers- all experienced and qualified in their own area of expertise. We also have a growing team of volunteers to support the activities and events. A total of 31 hours each week covered by volunteers.

		We also have a members Steering Committee made up of activity reps who guide us and a parents committee who also offer their guidance and advice.
Relationship with any related parties	Para 1.51	Gill O’Hare is the sister of Jenny Allcock since Gill stepped down from her role as Chair, the Conflict of Interest Agreement still remains. Roz Healey and Tom Neill are in a civil partnership therefore both signed a Conflict of Interest Agreement for Creating Adventures.
