## Airedale and Wharfedale Autism Resource 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **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** 

After a prolonged period of Covid lockdowns and restrictions it is great to see that the AWARE team have worked hard over the last year to return, when safe, to a normal programme of activities and events to support children and families affected by autism. We should also remember that throughout the period of the pandemic restrictions AWARE has never stopped striving to achieve its mission statement even when face-to-face events and some of our traditional fundraising activities have not been possible. 

During the last year our dedicated AWARE team started to reintroduce events, clubs, trips and meetings ( initially with reduced numbers of children) whilst also retaining some of the new ways to support our members, such as holding regular Zoom sessions with guest speakers. We have continued to work on improving our communications with members by developing further our monthly newsletter, regular e-updates and our presence on Facebook. 

We know that different families have different needs and like to engage with us in different ways. The support AWARE offers has continued to receive positive feedback from our members and service users; however, we are always open to suggestions of how we can better deliver our services and activities so please get in touch if you have any feedback or ideas. 

I would highlight in particular the successful World Autism Awareness Day event at Bradford City’s football ground which was a great success that enabled AWARE to work alongside a number of important stakeholders to provide advice and support to families affected by autism. 

I never cease to be impressed by the range of activities that AWARE continues to deliver and the commitment and professionalism of our staff, volunteers and committee members. Many thanks to Rachel Miller and Margaret Nash for their leadership of the team and to the rest of the staff for their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm in ensuring that our various services are delivered.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

I am grateful to my fellow trustees for their contribution and advice over the last year. The trustees have continued to meet regularly via Zoom to ensure that AWARE continues to operate and determine its priorities in a realistic and financially-sustainable way. We all remain committed to ensuring that AWARE continues to maintain its unique ethos as a parent-run group supporting families with children and young adults on the autistic spectrum. I would like to thank our members, volunteers, and all the organisations who have helped to fund our activities for your continued support. 

Geoff Winnard, Chair 

## **Financial review** 

Net expenditure for the year was £12,908, including net expenditure of £18,914 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £6,006 on restricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves at the year end were £30,282. 

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. 

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 25/07/2022

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Airedale and 

## Wharfedale Autism Resource 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 9. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
