Ryedale Special Families

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

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

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities and with the charity’s governing documents.

Ryedale Special Families is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), and was registered with the Charity Commission on 5 January 2017. It was established to take forward the work of the registered charity, Ryedale Special Families (charity number 1069586). The members of the charity agreed to convert to a CIO at the Annual General Meeting on 6 November 2017, following the trustees’ proposal. At midnight on 31 March 2017 the charity converted to a CIO and transferred its funds to the CIO via a donation, as shown in Other Income on the Statement of Financial Activities. The activities of the CIO remain unchanged from those of the charity, i.e. the same name, aims and objectives, trustees, employees and office base.

The trustees confirm that the CIO has complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. This report illustrates how the CIO delivers public benefit.

Objectives and activities

CIO’s aims and objectives are; ‘the relief of children, young people and young adults with disabilities, additional needs and illness, their families and/or carers, in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, in particular, but not exclusively by the provision of information, advice and support service.

Ryedale Special Families achieves these objectives by supporting families in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. The young people we support are aged between birth up to 25 and have disabilities, additional needs and illness. Our geographical area includes the market towns of Malton, Norton, Pickering, Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside and large rural areas of the North York Moors and the Wolds. Our four main areas of support are:

We also seek to improve services available for families and raise awareness. We work closely with other voluntary, statutory and private providers to support families. The services we provide are carried out by paid workers and unpaid volunteers, without whom our service would not exist. Ryedale Special Families is a family-centred service and is driven by the people we support.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

Achievements and performance

Ryedale Special Families ran an information and resource service open 9am to 5pm weekdays and a support service for disabled children, young people and young adults 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This year we welcomed 30 new families to our charity and now support 415 local Ryedale families.

Our 1 to 1 Flexible Care Service ran throughout the year and was accessed by 23 children and young people aged up to 18 years and 26 young adults aged 18 to 25 years. The support was provided by trained and experienced Support workers and enabled young people to improve their social skills, learn independence skills and provided families with respite.

Our Flexible Care Service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Since the pandemic the CQC has altered its normal programme of in-person inspections. Our last inspection in March 2018 was ‘Good’ and we maintain this rating through our annual Provider Returns to the CQC and their regular monitoring reviews. In September 2024, North Yorkshire Council undertook a ‘Quality Conversation’, which looked closely at our service in areas including Person Centred Care, Safeguarding, Health and Governance. Ryedale Special Families scored 158 out of 190 (83%) for our home based service and 107 out of 130 (82%) for our community based service.

Our educational support service benefitted 10 young people and young adults. We provided ASDAN courses for our members, worked on gardening and farming skills, cooking skills and travel training. We partnered with Barr Farm and The Bothies at Scampston Hall to provide practical skills. Our young people visited Butterwick Alpaca Retreat for a variety of animal and practical skills. Ryedale Special Families is registered as an Alternative Provider with North Yorkshire County Council. We saw some of our young people progress onto further education this year, a very satisfying result for the young people and the charity.

We have supported families at Social Care review meetings, safeguarding meetings, education review meetings, Education Health Care Plan meetings and other areas of advocacy support. Families have requested help with benefit applications, housing, equipment searches and legal matters. We have represented parent and carer views county wide at North Yorkshire County Council meetings and voluntary sector meetings.

We held 6 family activities, a Dalby picnic and duck race, 2 outdoors activity sessions at Peat Rigg, a train trip on the North York Moors Railway provided by Malton & Norton Lions, bowling and trampolining in York and an ice skating session at York outdoor rink. We were able to run a number of events under the theme of ‘The A to Z of Sport’ through funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Our family activities were attended by 44 families.

Pre-school group ‘Little Steps’ – we held meetings for families with disabled children in the preschool age groups. This year we ran 2 sessions attended by 5 families. At this point the attending children were moving on to school and sessions were stopped. We are open to restarting these sessions should the need arise again.

The Family Support Group regular sessions for all families to join in with, mixing coffee morning style meetings and activity sessions. Aside from the coffee morning meetings, there were family days out to swimming and local activities, and seasonal family parties at Easter, Halloween and Christmas. These were attended by 15 families.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

RAFT – Ryedale Autism Families Together ran regular monthly meetings for families who have autistic children and/or children with ADHD. There were 13 meetings altogether, including informal lunches. The meetings were attended by 21 parents and carers families and a closed Facebook group accessed by 188 people.

Junior Club – a monthly social group for 8 to 12 year olds, we ran 16 sessions, 10 sessions throughout the year and 6 longer ones in the summer holidays visiting Monk Park Farm, York Maze, North Bay Railway, The National Railway Museum, The Jorvik Viking Centre as well as sessions at local village halls. The group was attended by 33 children.

Youth Group – a weekly group for 12 to 17 year olds, we ran 40 sessions, 36 weekly evening meetings and 4 longer sessions in the summer holidays visiting York Maze and bowling. The group was attended by 34 young people.

Over 18s – a fortnightly group for 18 to 25 year olds, we ran 22 sessions, 19 were evening sessions and 3 longer in the summer holidays visiting Wykeham Lake, York Maze and Independence in Scarborough. The group was attended by 26 young adults.

LGBTQ+ - ‘RSF Q&A’ is a social group for 16 to 25 year olds, RSF have run this in previous years. Within this year, the group naturally folded as members moved out of the area, and out of our age range. We are still committed to supporting all of our young people and will restart the group when the need arises again.

We continued with our shopping scheme for people who are not able to get to the shops themselves. The shopping is done by our young adults who are supported by a worker and gives the young people a variety of skills, including handling money. It also gives them a chance to help other people, and this is very good for their confidence and self-esteem.8 young people took part in this, delivering shopping to 5 local people.

Our partnership working with other organisations and charities continues to be very important this year and helps to provide a good quality service to our families. Ryedale Special Families has been part of a local consortium ‘Ryedale Charities Together’ for many years. This year, the group ran regular Drop in sessions at Malton, Pickering and Kirkbymoorside, where residents could come and see what is happening locally in their area as well as accessing services and activities of charities, statutory and local organisations. Ryedale Special Families attended 13 of these sessions. The Chief officer also attended regular meetings with the Chief Officers of other local charities.

RSF raised funds throughout the year to ensure our services can continue. Our popular Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Challenge raised £16,641. We were also successful with grant applications to support our work throughout the year. We are very fortunate to have amazing support from the local community, who continue to fundraise for the charity in many different ways.

At the start of 2018 we launched an ambitious project to buy a new home for Ryedale Special Families. During this year, the build took great strides. We saw a lot of change on the piece of land we bought. An independent Project Manager was appointed to oversee the build and the Chief Officer and Trustees had input to the day to day work throughout the whole year. We continued to raise funds to enable the building to happen and in January a mortgage loan was approved from Charity Bank. This enabled the charity to reach the end goal. As the financial year reached the end, the building was entering the final stages.

We took steps to further strengthen the Trustee Board and appointed a Trustee with specialist education knowledge.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

Financial review

The CIO’s results for the year show an overall surplus of income over expenditure of £481,146 (2024: surplus of £513,434). The surplus this year includes income totalling £429,968 (2024: £500,097) which has been donated, received in grants and raised to fund the restricted fund New Home for RSF, in addition to expenditure of £11,592 (2024: £5,322) relating to the same fund. When you remove this income and expenditure from the figures the CIO has recorded a surplus of £62,769 (2024: Surplus of £18,659). The revised surplus of £62,769 is split between unrestricted funds with a surplus of £41,999 and restricted funds with a surplus of £20,770.

Restricted funds now total £1,564,943 (2024: £1,125,697) and includes £1,521,083 raised to build premises from which to run the CIO. In total, £1,650,582 has been capitalised on the purchase of land and associated costs for the new premises and is included in Fixed Assets (see note 7 to these accounts).

These results reflect the hard work and strong financial controls put in place by the trustees and management of the CIO.

Policies

Ryedale Special Families has a full range of policies covering our services. Our policies are continually kept under review including the assessment of the major risks.

The trustees aim to maintain the general level of reserves (unrestricted funds) to around three months of general expenditure. The trustees consider this to be an appropriate level.

Responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period.

In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to:-

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Ryedale Special Families CIO

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Ryedale Special Families CIO ("the charity") for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis of opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibility of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Ryedale Special Families (Registered Charity)

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Ryedale Special Families CIO

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Ryedale Special Families (Registered Charity)

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Ryedale Special Families CIO

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Ryedale Special Families

(Registered Charity)

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Ryedale Special Families CIO

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charity information

Ryedale Special Families is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales. The principal address is 121 Town Street, Old Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17 7HD.

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the CIO without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Designated funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the CIO for particular purposes.

Restricted funds

Restricted funds are to be used for a specific purpose as laid down by the donor.

7. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS continued

The property under construction was completed and handed over to the charity on 29 August 2025. In order to finalise the project, it was necessary to obtain a mortgage, and the funding was secured in May 2025. As part of the mortgage application, a valuation of the property was prepared by Carter Jonas. As a result of the specialised nature of the property, their valuation in February 2025 of the completed property was only £815,000. As the property had not been brought into use in the current year, the value of the Asset Under Construction has not been impaired. However, a further valuation will be obtained as at 31 March 2026 and an impairment review will be undertaken at that date. It is noted that a significant impairment of the property cost may then be required
