THE INCLUDE PROJECT
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are:
a) The relief of those in need by reason of communication, memory or learning difficulties; and
b) The promotion of social inclusion amongst those who have communication, learning or memory difficulties and who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society as a result of their disability; through such training, education and sources as the trustees deem appropriate.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The trustees have referred to the recommendations contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy for the year.
Vision & Mission
The charity's mission is to break down barriers for people with communication needs.
Based on speech and language therapy research, best practice in health and social care, and the views of our beneficiaries, we believe that this can best be achieved by providing opportunities for inclusion, inclusive activities and training in inclusive communication.
Our vision is a world with:
1. Significantly better life chances for people with communication needs.
2. Rapidly improved community awareness and knowledge.
3. Changes in public policy to reduce barriers to inclusion.
Include supports beneficiaries with learning and communication difficulties, and trains local community representatives, social care workers, health care staff and commercial organisations on how to work more effectively with people with communication needs, by:
-
Amplifying the visibility and voice of people with learning disabilities and/or autism
-
Coproducing and delivering training in inclusive communication and the Mental Capacity Act, for health and social care providers, local community organisations, businesses and people with communication and learning needs
-
Coproducing and delivering inclusive community activities like The Include Choir, building confidence, skills, friendships and awareness of rights
We use and teach Makaton Signing and other evidence based inclusive communication techniques to raise awareness of the need for inclusive communication, and to develop skilled communication partners in the community. We train in Surrey, London and the South East and perform locally and nationally, raising awareness of inclusive communication, the Mental Capacity Act and the capabilities and potential of people with communication needs.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Prior to March 2020, we ran weekly Include Choir sessions in St John’s Church Redhill, and performed and delivered training across Surrey and London - but due to Covid-19, the decision was made to close the physical choir on 15th March and from 18th March, all sessions, activities and training subsequently developed ran online.
We are very proud of the speed with which we pivoted services; we have continued to engage, empower and support people with communication needs, and raise awareness of the need for and right to inclusive communication. The need for our services has always been much greater than many realise - and has increased dramatically due to the increased marginalisation, exclusion and isolation brought about by Covid-19.
In order to meet the changed and increased needs of the people we support, we tripled our volunteer team, increased our staff team and quadrupled the number of weekly sessions we deliver, thanks to the willingness of staff to volunteer their time.
Services Delivered
In contrast to the previous year where we ran one regular session at a local level only, weekly service delivery and reach increased dramatically this year, in response to heightened demand, the needs of our beneficiaries, and the additional access afforded by online delivery. By the end of the year, we had increased services fourfold.
Membership of The Include Choir Online increased from 80 local members to over 300 on Facebook Live and remains free for people across the UK to access. This has led to a growing number of people joining the charity’s other services from further afield. This positive membership gain has, however, been offset by the significant digital exclusion of adults in receipt of care services, due to lack of access support. This has meant that our only contact with some former local members has been through phone and mail contact, leading to the development of an accessible magazine and activity service.
The full range of activities delivered between 1[st] April 2020 and 31[st] March 2021 is listed below - noting that much informal pastoral support and liaison took place outside structured sessions, via phone and secure social media platforms.

Training
This is a vital part of Include’s work; however, during 2020-21 face to face training was curtailed and online training in health and social are services challenging to deliver due to lack of capacity for all parties. Nonetheless, we continued to develop human resources to build more inclusive communities through internal and ad hoc training: 30 volunteers were trained in basic inclusive communication skills, 16 received Level 1 Makaton Training and 8 external attendees also received Level 1 Makaton Training. Monthly sessions for a local service provider which modelled good communication practice for care staff, while providing meaningful activities for service-users ran from December 2020.
Despite the fact that CSR support to develop an existing online training package for health and social care providers ceased due to Covid, additional funding was secured, and new staff and volunteers recruited to focus on training development so that we are ready to meet the increased training needs within health and social care, when the pandemic is no longer restricting delivery.
Coproduction and Self-Advocacy
Although a very limited amount of training could be delivered, we continued to develop resources and our focus on co-production in training design and assessment (both inhouse and for external partners like CardMedic, an App designed to support communication in hospital settings). We used a range of creative digital methods to explore the topics of key importance to our membership and ensured they were discussed within group Zoom sessions, in our Steering Group or through one to one support, where needed. Members continued to assist with online presentations to external providers and to make decisions about content and delivery. Collective Song Writing proved a uniquely effective method of making Covid guidance more accessible for our members and allowing a means of creative self-expression about the emotional consequence of the pandemic.
Performances
Sadly, this year, no live performances to raise awareness of inclusive communication, or workshops where members present directly to health and social care professionals about their right to good communication support, were possible. Nonetheless, The Include Choir took part in 19 local and national virtual performances, helping to ensure that the voices and faces of people with learning and communication needs were not forgotten during the pandemic. Taking part in a virtual festival all the way up in Scotland, being part of Learning Disability England’s Virtual Annual Conference and winning the local Harlequin Theatre’s ‘Live from Lockdown’ Competition were real boosts for our members – and we can’t wait to sing on a real stage again!
Impact
We measure the impact of our services upon people with learning and communication needs and those around them, through a Theory of Change model which measures against 3 subdivided areas: Inclusion, Empowerment and Communication. We gathered a range of case studies which can be seen on www.include.org/home-page/blog and, using a mix of facilitated zoom sessions, polls, remote Talking Mats and SurveyMonkey questionnaires, gathered the following feedback from 14 representative participants.
Members were asked if they agreed, partially agreed or disagreed with the following statements, in line with an abbreviated version of our theory of change model. Some questions were omitted as we felt that either we had not been able to focus on them this year (Rights under the MCA) or it was difficult to replicate the benefit in an online context (using a full range of inclusive communication techniques).

Feedback from members, families and community partners
‘You and your team are doing a brilliant job. It is so difficult for many who are vulnerable or who have a disability to make sense of lockdowns and the include group is a real light in their lives’. Carol, Mother of Member, Rosie
‘I want people to understand this choir is a lifeline to those who have communication issues {…} during a pandemic as well as during ‘normal times.’ John, BCC Chair
‘I've really enjoyed my time with the choir so far on the zoom calls. The choir is really special to me and I'd like the choir to keep going for many years.’ Chloe, Member
‘The integration of information about COVID into accessible formats that highlight good daily health management for the service users has been astounding and of high quality’. Professor Celia Harding, Division of Language & Communication Science, City University
Fundraising activities
Due to the restrictions imposed by Covid-19, we were not able to carry out any of our usual community fundraising activities, or achieve our aim of becoming a charity partner in local, well-established, community events.
Due to limited resources and staff capacity, we had no online fundraising activities already set up so, in addition to applying to Trusts and Foundations for emergency grant funding during the first part of the financial year, we focused efforts on recruiting and mobilising volunteers to support our part-time staff members in communications and fundraising.
The majority of fundraising efforts focused on a match funding Campaign in December – The Big Give Challenge. As we had no experience in this field, we set a conservative fundraising target of £5000 which we exceeded by 90%. The quality of our campaign was recognised by The Big Give and earned us their Small Charity of the Year Award, adding a further £1000 to the total and bringing the funds raised to double the initial target – closer to the real funding needs of the organisation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity's financial position is reviewed annually at the trustees' meeting held to approve the year end accounts.
Principal funding sources
For the year ended 31 March 2021, the charity's total income was £63,000; £19,860 up on last year. This represents the continuing growth of the charity since its formation in 2018, and is a significant achievement considering the curtailment of all community fundraising opportunities, performance and training fees due to Covid-19. This figure is made more impressive by the fact it was reached despite the charity’s decision to cease all nominal membership fees for beneficiaries, and provide all services for free between April 2020 and the end of December 2020, given the individual economic uncertainty that the pandemic had created.
£31,000 relates to grants and donations awarded from the following donors - Community Foundation for Surrey, The National Lottery, Garfield & Weston, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, The Bailey Thomas and Gatwick Airport Community Trusts, each of which is classified as restricted funds within the accounts.
These restricted funds have covered most delivery costs (staff and other) for the year ended 31st March 2021, thanks, in large part to the willingness of key staff to contribute significant hours of their time on a pro bono basis, in an extension of the start-up phase of the organisation, due to circumstances. Moving forward into the current year we will be utilising our designated funds to cover these costs as this funding has now run out and no further grants, apart from a small grant from Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, have been secured.
The remaining income of £32,000 was generated from small non restricted grants, outreach work, nominal membership fees (restarted in 2021) and an abundance of kind donations. It also includes the gift aid claim submitted for all applicable donations since the charity’s formation.
Expenditure
The costs overall have increased significantly due to various reasons, relating to Covid-19 and the rapid growth of service delivery and reach; also because of the charity’s commitment to pay the majority of contracted staff in accordance with the tireless work they do to support the community through The Include Project. The Trustees recognise the need to continue this progression so that all staff are paid for the hours and expertise they provide in the future. However; the Board also recognises that the funds that we have noted as designated and unrestricted funds in these accounts will not see us through to the end of the financial year unless further funding is secured.
Reserves
In line with the charity’s policy, the Trustees are mindful of the need to designate a proportion of the unrestricted reserves, alongside funds restricted for the purpose, to ensure that the charity meets its increased staffing, resource and overhead costs to run current and planned activities for up to 6 months.
From the total unrestricted reserves of £42,302, the Trustees recommend designating £30,340; this comprises 3 months full current staffing and operational costs and 3 months reduced operational costs.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The charity is required to have a minimum of 4 trustees and as at 31st March 2021 it had 7.
The trustees are constantly reviewing their skills set and representation; when needed, we seek new trustees through local and national volunteer agencies, social media and through personal contacts. Our current priority is to increase representation both of our beneficiary group and of people from the BAME community.
Potential new trustees meet with the board, provide references and subject to satisfactory interview and accepting the responsibilities required by the Charity Commission, will be co-opted on to the board; the appointment is ratified at the AGM.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure
The Charity’s Board is made up of 7 Trustees, including a newly appointed and experienced Chair and Vice Chair, recruited in recognition of the need for strong leadership and Governance as the charity grows.
The Founder & CEO, Alix Lewer, was presented with the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists’ Giving Voice Award in 2019 for a ‘ tireless commitment to highlighting inclusive communication and creating environments where people with speech, language and communication difficulties feel welcome and accepted.’
The CEO is supported by a small team of dedicated part-time contracted staff (each averaging 10-12 hours per week), which has significantly grown during the pandemic, in recognition of the increased demand for services and in line with existing strategy. During the 2[nd] and 3[rd] quarters of this year, the existing Choir Coordinator took on a Comms leadership role and was joined in the Staff Team by part-time Volunteer Coordinator, Administrator and Finance Assistant, as well as two additional session practitioners.
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery, we were able to recruit 2 part-time speech and language therapists on a short, fixed-term contract to assist with resource and training development. We hope to secure further funding to enable this work to continue and to help us scale our impact in the years ahead. In the meantime, the speech and language therapy expertise, along with much of the administrative and leadership work continues to be provided on a voluntary basis. The impact of this arrangement on capacity for servicedelivery is recognised by the Board and the staffing needs are regularly reviewed as we strive to balance the need for a robust and sustainable structure against the financial constraints of a relatively new charity.

THE INCLUDE PROJECT
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES- continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
In additional to new roles and extended hours secured through new funding this year, the Board would also like to acknowledge the significant number of hours contributed voluntarily by existing staff throughout the duration of the pandemic thus far, which has enabled the organisation to grow and maintain stability of staffing and support.
