CP Teens UK Trustees Annual Report

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The purposes of the charity, as set out in its governing document are the promotion of social inclusion among young people aged 10 to 25 years old with physical disabilities, who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their disability. To provide help, support and advice for young people with physical disabilities and their families. To provide workshops, forums, advocacy and general support along with recreational facilities and opportunities in the interest of social welfare and improving conditions of life.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Throughout 2023, we have worked extremely hard to ensure that the objectives have been met and that our work has been for the public benefit. We have continued to deliver both in-person and online events & activities in order to cater for all and remain accessible. In October 2023, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of CP Teens UK. In writing this report, the Trustees have had to consider the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. During 2023, CP Teens UK has:

Delivered various in-person events & initiatives catering for a range of interests. All of our events & initiatives are aimed at bringing young people with physical disabilities together in a social & supportive environment where they feel included and part of a network. In 2023, we delivered:
Two social days in Sheffield with bowling & a meal (one in January 2023, and one in October 2023 for World Cerebral Palsy Day)
A social day in Nottingham with bowling & a meal
Two social drop-ins at the new CP Teens UK office, which we moved into in March 2023. We have moved into a brand new building in Chesterfield town centre, which offers a fully accessible space to enable service users & their families to visit and meet others
Monthly Boccia sessions allowing youngsters to be competitive, enabling them to develop skills, and make friends. One youngster has gone on to be a competitive athlete from attending the sessions. Awards were given out at the end of 2023 to our regular youngsters – ‘Most Improved Player 2023’ male & female

CP Teens UK Trustees Annual Report

CP Teens UK 10[th] anniversary video and celebration days. Over 2 days in the school summer holidays we invited 12 selected service users who engage consistently with our offerings to come to a filming day to participate in the 10[th] anniversary video. The filming took place at the CP Teens UK office and lunch was provided for everyone. Youngsters said that they really enjoyed the experience, as well as being with their friends. The 10[th] anniversary video was launched at the 10[th] anniversary ball in October.
Delivered various online events & initiatives enabling youngsters to join in & get involved from wherever they are. Sometimes travel can be problematic for youngsters with physical disabilities & their families, so delivering online makes our charity & services accessible. Youngsters with physical disabilities also often struggle with confidence, so joining in from home in the first instance has shown to provide many youngsters with the confidence to then go on to attend our in-person events & initiatives. In 2023, we delivered:
‘Chit & Chat’ - an online social initiative where youngsters from across the UK join virtually for an hour of socialising, chat and fun. Originally setup to keep our youngsters connected during lockdown, it quickly became apparent how needed ‘Chit & Chat’ is for a lot of our youngsters, many of whom are socially isolated as a result of their physical disability. In 2023, we delivered 30 hours of ‘Chit & Chat’.
CP Teens UK Virtual Pizza Night – youngsters around the UK received a free pizza kit from CP Teens UK to make 2 pizzas at home. Everyone then shared their pizzas online before eating them. One parent said, “It’s a great initiative and it gives H something to be a part of on a Friday night – he’s often sat at home whilst his school friends meet up”.
No Bangs Bonfire Night – youngsters around the UK received a free pamper pack from CP Teens UK to use on bonfire night to help with/distract from firework bangs, which can be problematic for people with Cerebral Palsy due to the ‘startle reflex’. Online chat & discussion also took place.
Delivered the CP Teens UK 10[th] Anniversary Ball at the Casa Hotel, Chesterfield. We delivered the exclusive Pre-Ball Party for our ‘CP Teens’ and their accompanying family/friends – this consisted of personalised goodie bags and a complimentary drink for all youngsters, as well as a ‘Magic Mirror’. The main Ball, which is a fundraising event and is open to the general public, was a great success and a special celebration celebrating 10 wonderful years of the charity. Over £7,000 was raised.
The Sponsored Wobble - a 5k accessible challenge through Chatsworth providing the opportunity for youngsters & families to come together, and an opportunity to raise money for CP Teens UK. Despite the weather, a great day was had by all and £915 was raised.
Parallel Windsor – a mass participation event through Great Windsor Park. 6 youngsters joined ‘Team CP Teens’ and we participated in the 5k event. It was a fantastic day with a brilliant, inclusive atmosphere. Team CP Teens raised an incredible £3,925.
Continued to connect and unite physically disabled youngsters in-person and online in a safe and monitored environments, enabling friendships and combating loneliness and social isolation

The charity does not have any paid employees and has minimal monthly outgoings (premises overheads). As such, a formal Reserves Policy has not yet been established. The trustees will continue to review the situation on a quarterly basis and should the need arise a policy will be formulated.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

CP Teens UK is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). The charity is controlled by its governing document and its Board of Trustees.

The appointment of trustees follows the procedure outlined in the charity’s governing document. The Board of Trustees follow and adhere to the procedure. One third of the trustees stands down on an annual basis and are re-elected by the charity’s members (i.e. the trustees).

New trustees undergo a formal induction process; they are provided with the charity’s mission, aims and objectives and are provided with a full insight into the charity’s work. New trustees are also provided with the charity’s policies and code of conducts. All prospective trustees are DBS checked prior to successfully obtaining a role on the Board.

When considering the co-option and recruitment of trustees, the Board has regard to the requirement for ensuring that there is a balance of knowledge and expertise to govern the charity effectively. The Board also is careful to balance the number of parents of young people with disabilities to the number of people who are not parents of young people with disabilities.

Gains/(losses) on This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments. investment assets

Expenditure

Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which expenditure cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.

Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.

Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Equipment 20% Reducing Balance

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

CP Teens UK Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
