Airedale and Wharfedale Autism Resource
Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
The objects of the CIO are:
The relief of need and the advancement of the health and wellbeing of people of all ages who have an autistic spectrum condition (and who may suffer from related conditions), whether or not formally diagnosed, and their families and carers; in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of support and social opportunities. The advancement of education, in particular, but not exclusively by:
(a) Increasing public awareness of the needs and challenges of people with an autistic spectrum condition (and who may suffer from related conditions) and their families and carers.
(b) By providing information and training opportunities to individuals with an autistic spectrum condition and to people working with or supporting individuals with an autistic spectrum condition.
The charity's main activities
To relieve people of all ages who are diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder and in particular by the provision of support and assistance to such persons and their families and their carers.
To increase public awareness regarding the problems and circumstances of people with autistic spectrum disorders and their families and carers and to encourage acceptance in the community.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the support of families and children living with autism in the Airedale and Wharfedale areas.
Achievements and performance
AWARE has been actively looking for new ways of working and opportunities for partnership to support our growing membership throughout the pandemic and, in particular, to reach out to families in Bradford who are not yet part of the AWARE community. Most of AWARE’s face to face support in this period was on hold because of the COVID-19 restrictions but we did our best to support our families in different and new ways and we believe that the huge increase of 47.5% in our membership since March 2019 shows a) how much we are needed and b) how successful we have been at adapting.
We are continuing to run our Moving On group on Zoom, although meeting up in person when allowed. Our various parenting activities (support groups and training) are also facilitated on Zoom, mainly during term-time. Throughout the pandemic in particular, our Facebook profile has increased greatly with more members joining the closed group and many more visitors to AWARE’s open page.
In the first lockdown, we were unable to run youth clubs and play schemes, but we have been allowed to offer this face to face support to families, albeit in a very different format with fewer people, since the end of July (apart from when we had a local lockdown). We have also been running play schemes with similarly reduced numbers in all the school holidays.
As a result of our BEAT project we are working more intensively with families whose child/young person is on the assessment waiting lists and we are also working closely with various partners (Born in Bradford, MyMup and the Local offer) through parent and youth led focus groups on Zoom to reflect the autism perspective.
Covid-19
The financial position of the charity is reviewed on a regular basis. The charity's accountant produces monthly budgets/forecasts/financial statements. These are provided to the Trustees and discussed at quarterly management meetings. Income and expenditure is broken down by income stream so that variances and changes can be readily identified.
As part of the 2021 Lottery Community Fund application we undertook a detailed review of forecast income and expenditure, as required, to demonstrate to the Lottery Funding Panel that AWARE could deliver on several key outcomes. A key element of the application to the Lottery was the preparation of forecasts from 2021 to 2024, including details of key assumptions and risk factors.

Airedale and Wharfedale Autism Resource
Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Covid-19 (continued)
Also as part of the Lottery funding application the charity determined that if the application was unsuccessful this would cast doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. In March 2021 we were notified that our funding application had been successful and AWARE was awarded £425,000 for the years 2021 to 2025.
Future grant income is therefore secure in the short to medium term. Whilst there has been some impact on fundraising in other areas due to the impact of Covid-19 restrictions, we expect fundraising activities will recover in the short term as restrictions are lifted.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £18,622, including net expenditure of £5,111 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £23,733 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £49,196.
AWARE has a wish to have between 3 and 6 months running costs in cash reserves in case of a major issue such as loss of funding.
This policy will be considered again during the current year to ensure it is still appropriate.

Filing deadline for CIOs. As the organisation is a CIO you must 31 January 2022
complete an online annual return and upload pdf accounts via the
Charity Commission website by the date shown opposite. Do not
scan your signed accounts, please use the pdf accounts that we sent 1
you after the accounts were approved, which show the name of the
person who signed the accounts and the date signed.
Tax agent We are noticing more and more that HMRC are making requests to
charities to file a corporation tax return, even though they will have
no tax to pay. They tend not to require one every year but if a filing
deadline is missed there is a late filing penalty of £100. If you have
had any correspondence from HMRC regarding corporation tax and
you have a unique tax reference (it will be in the format 923 12345
12345 A) can you please let us know. This will enable us to register
as your tax agent which means that we will get copies of any 2
notices or reminders so that we can make sure that any deadlines
are not missed. It also means that we can talk to HMRC on your
behalf if you need us to. If you have not had any such
correspondence then I would not pursue HMRC but if you do get a
notice to file sometime in the future please let us know and we can
register then.
Please remember to complete the WYCAS online survey. See link on management letter or request a printed copy from your
