Last year was an unusual year for everyone. We were unable to meet in person due to the pandemic and so all activity was delivered over Zoom. It was important to focus on wellbeing and delivering social activities to support skills in communication with others at a time when we were unable to meet in person. This was specifically requested by our beneficiaries to support them during the period. It was also important to deliver sessions on finding work and rights in employment during the time period, as many people were losing paid work, or finding it more difficult to gain paid employment. ## 4.3 Contributing to Activities Run by Other Organisations We delivered a CV session for young people and their parents/guardians on Tuesday 29 June 2021 in association with the Dyspraxia Foundation. ## 4.4 Trustee Development Trustees are encouraged to participate in development opportunities as and when appropriate. During the year trustees have been on training for managing finance in charities, and undertaken a review of annual reporting and finance records. ## 5 Financial Review ## 5.1 Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit The charity has no funds which are materially in deficit. ## 5.2 Policy on Reserves The Charity’s policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a balance which is sufficient: - a) to preserve the financial viability of the Charity in the event that unforeseen and/or unavoidable circumstance precipitate a short-term fall in its income; - b) to enable the Charity, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to undertake from time to time the setting up of new and innovative projects on a pilot basis to demonstrate the viability and potential benefits of such activities as a precursor to securing the external funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis. For these purposes the Charity will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 50% of its annual turnover. ## 5.3 Principal Sources of Funding and Outgoings The principal source of funding for Dyspraxic Me is donations from attendees to events and the wider public. The principal outgoings for Dyspraxic Me are the costs to run sessions, including paying facilitators for particular sessions; insurance and administrative costs for the charity address. ## 5.4 Remuneration of Trustees All Trustees act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from their services to the Charity. Out-of-pocket expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by Trustees in promoting the purposes of Dyspraxic Me are reimbursed at cost. During the year of this report nothing was paid in expenses to trustees. ## 5.5 Financial Status Though modest, Dyspraxic Me’s current resources from previous unrestricted donations are more than sufficient to meet its outgoings for at least next year. All the indications are that this will remain the case for the foreseeable future and trustees are actively pursuing further grant funding and donations. ## 5.6 Statutory Statements on Liabilities The Trustees declare that: - The charity has given no guarantees where potential liability under the guarantee is outstanding at the date of this statement (eg: any outstanding/ongoing contract or legal undertaking to buy or provide specific services); - The charity has no debt outstanding at the date of this statement which is owed by the CIO and which is secured by an express charge on any assets of the CIO (eg: a mortgage on property owned by the charity); Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf, Louise McAward-White, Trustee Jessica Starns, Trustee 28/3/22 28/3/22 ## 6 Statement of Financial Activity ## 6.1 Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts Dyspraxic Me is not required to have the accounts independently examined as per Charity Commission guidance as the income is under £25,000. ## 6.2 Receipts & Payments Accounts for the Financial Year Ended 30-Jun-21 |**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**Unrestricte**

No Trustees received any reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in the financial year. - c) Salaries & Professional Fees No trustee receives any payments for the services they provide to the charity. - In the current financial year the charity employed no staff or external contractors. - d) Fixed Assets - The charity has not purchased or disposed of any fixed assets in the current financial year. - e) Creditors & Debtors Cheques for goods or services purchased, or invoices for goods or services delivered, which are issued prior to the end of the financial year but not appearing in the end of financial year bank statement are reported as outstanding creditors or debtors respectively. f) Rounding Discrepancies All amounts are recorded to the penny, but in these accounts are shown as digitally rounded to the nearest pound. This can occasionally result in a total apparently not being the sum of its constituent amounts. All individual amounts, and their totals, are nevertheless correct.
