Trustees’ Annual Report

Period start date: 01/04/2024 Period end date: 31/03/2025

Empowering adults with Autism and learning disabilities to thrive through innovative support, meaningful connections, and an inclusive community where every individual’s unique potential is recognised and celebrated.

Registered Charity No. 1167842 www.creatingadventures.org.uk

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Tom Neill, Chair of Trustees

The year 2024–2025 has been one of both challenge and progress for the organisation. Like many charities, we have navigated a changing and often demanding environment, requiring resilience, adaptability and thoughtful decision-making. I am proud of how the organisation has responded, using these challenges as opportunities to strengthen our foundations and refine our strategic direction. This year has also marked a period of growth and positive development. We have taken important strategic steps to support long-term sustainability, expanded our capacity, and welcomed new trustees whose skills, experience and fresh perspectives have already added significant value to the Board. Together, the Board and staff have remained committed to the organisation’s mission and to ensuring strong governance, accountability and impact for those we serve.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the organisation’s achievements this year. We look ahead with confidence, clear priorities and a shared commitment to building on this progress in the year to come.

And a few words from our Founder & CEO Jenny Allcock

Our purpose remains clear: to provide a safe, supportive environment in which adults with autism and learning disabilities can pursue their goals, build confidence, develop skills for greater independence, and flourish alongside their peers. Working together — and, crucially, as a community — we continue to achieve far more than any of us could alone. The period 2024–2025 marked a year of significant progress and achievement, not only for the charity and our dedicated team, but for the community we exist to serve.

OUR MISSION & VALUES

Mission: Empowering adults with Autism and learning disabilities to thrive through innovative support, meaningful connections, and an inclusive community where every individual’s unique potential is recognised and celebrated.

Values: Creativity • Dream big • Kind hearts • Believe

Vision: Our vision for Creating Adventures is to create a home in Warrington which creates a sense of belonging for our members, to deliver our activities, celebrate our achievements and create new opportunities to help them flourish. This home will be a welcoming centre full of bright colours, a lovely garden area, rooms for our members to achieve their potential, a place where they can join our team and help run the centre, a community café offering good wholesome food to the community and a place to learn new life skills and also achieve accredited learning to prepare them for possible employment.

Para 1.17 Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document

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, members 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 MAIN ACTIVITIES

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 & 1.19

Our weekly timetable opposite shows the activities we deliver Monday to Friday. We removed the Over 50's Wellbeing Club in April 2025 due to the funding coming to an end. However due to a partnership with a fellow charity, we were able to introduce yoga as our new weekly wellbeing activity to replace the Over 50's group and welcoming all ages.

Our monthly activity is the Members Lounge Disco Our annual activities included our very own adaptation of ‘The Greatest Show’ held at Walton Gardens during Disability Awareness Week, ‘Once Upon a Christmas Concert’ and Snow Ball.
We also organised one theatre trip.

Para 1.18

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit

We, the Board of Trustees confirm that we have considered and delivered our services according to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Para 1.38

Contribution made by volunteers

Volunteers play a large part in what we do at Creating Adventures and are therefore extremely valued. A total of 3136 hours were donated by 62 volunteers throughout the financial year 2024-2025 across our programme. 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.

Para 1.20

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.

8 weekly activities; 46 hours per month, 506 hours per year 1 monthly activity; 2 hours per month; 22 hours per year 15 Beautiful Noise choir performances
4 annual member events
5 skill based workshops
1 theatre trip
88 active weekly members
122 members in total
32 members on the waiting list

There were many other achievements to be made during the financial year 2024 - 2025 including:

2nd annual show ‘The Greatest Show’
First Pantomime Show at Christmas
4 Fundraising events - Skydive, Sponsored Walk and Quiz Night and Laskey Farm Day 1 Afternoon tea
15 Choir performances
3 New corporate sponsors

The year of 2024 - 2025 saw growth in areas of both delivery and fundraising to prevent the reliance on funding from trusts and foundations. This included developing connections with more individual supporters and recruiting corporate supporters whilst developing awareness in the community.

Para 1.41 Achievements against objectives set

Our previous 3 year strategy had come to an end and we had achieved everything we had set out to achieve other than a base. At the end of 2024 we set out to recruit more trustees to join our board before we created our new 5 Year Strategy.

Our base at The Old School became extremely difficult with the venue prohibiting us from using the kitchen for our cookery groups, removing storage from our use and making other areas difficult to access making it impossible for us to continue our activities and welcome our community. We therefore had no other option than to move so with huge support from Warrington Council, we moved both our office and programme to Orford Community Hub in January 2025.

We recruited 2 new trustees in January 2025 following a recruitment drive and continued to develop our programme at Orford Community Hub.

Investing time in our marketing with the support and huge experience from our Corporate Partners Beech played a big part in Creating Adventures raising our profile using social media marketing and our website which was one of our objectives. This helped us to recruit new Corporate Partners and new trustees whilst also raising awareness regionally about the charity.

We were shortlisted as a Finalist for The National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards 2024 which was a huge achievement and honour.

Para 1.41

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set

We found the financial year of 2024 - 2025 to be tougher to achieve funds for core costs as the team grew and needed to continue to grow due to the programme and membership increasing.

The funds raised from fundraising events and funding from Corporate Partners played such a crucial part in us achieving our objectives and the investment of time and marketing in raising our profile also helped us to diversify our fundraising to meet our objectives.

Financial review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the Para 1.21 end of the period

We are in a strong position despite our income being lower than the previous year. We have found it more difficult to achieve funding to continue successful projects and core funding hence the lower total income however our strategy to diversify our funds and implement fees is proving to be successful.

Statement explaining the policy for holding Para 1.22 reserves stating why they are held

We achieved 6 months reserves in the previous year which we felt would put us in a good position in times of struggle and during this financial year we have found this extremely beneficial.

Amount of reserves held Para 1.22

£42,853

The charity’s principal sources of funding Para 1.47 (including any fundraising)

During the period of April 2024 to March 2025 our income has been achieved from a variety of sources including Trusts/Foundations, individual donations, corporate support, community donations and gifts in kind.

A description of the principal risks facing Para 1.46 the charity

Funding to continue a successful programme and covering core costs was becoming increasingly difficult to achieve and we were also aware of the risks facing Creating Adventures with the knowledge that the funding for the role of the Community Engagement Coordinator was coming to an end in March 2025.

With the advice from our local CVS Warrington Voluntary Action, we reviewed the role and set out to apply for Reaching Communities Funding whilst also consulting with our community and local funding bodies to understand the impact and thoughts on introducing sessional fees to support the sustainability of Creating Adventures. This consultation along with the development of our new 5 year strategy started to take place in early 2025.

As we grow and develop a full programme with a busy community, not having a permanent base continues to be a risk so our search continues to find a ‘Home of our own’.
