many positives that have em¢rg¢d. and Purple Patch Arts recognise the importance of building on these as
it recover5.
An ongoing key risk is th¢ inability to al￿¢t sufficient incom¢ or to be overly reliant u￿n & sin8le source
of income. Financial and operational plans are Teviewed regularly to ensure that a diverse rdnge of incoTne
streams can be attrdcted.
Th¢ Trustees also manage the generdl financial risks arising by ensuring thai:
Prudent budgets have been set for the next financial year
The charity maintsins a low c05t base
Strong financial controls are in place

Contingency plans are in place for the a¢tions which would be taken if income appears unlikely
to reach its targ

ACHIEVEME￿ AND PERFORMANCE
Summary of the main a¢hievements ofthe charity during ihe year
The last twelve months have continued to be greatly influenced by the impact of the Covid-19 pand¢mi¢"
our work was delivered remotely until June 2021. ai which point our Lifelong L£arning Programmes
reopened following a ￿rIOd of intense prepardlion, and we successfully adapted our grant-fund¢d
PTojects, meeting all of our fund¢r requirements and delivering much needed work to participants. With
restrictions starting to ease, we have also been abl¢ to focus on our future plans, investing heavily in the
developTnent of our new mulii-year transitions project and overhaulin8 our monitoring and evaluation
methimjs.
The stsff team have continued to demonstrdte their de41ication. passion and creativiry throughout the
challenges of th¢ year. and, in spite of the circumstances that we, and so many others, hav¢ b¢¢n faced
with. we are now moving towards a period of growth and development that will allow us to better meet
tk needs of our participants.

Zoom Sessions_ these sessions recreated the structure of our usual Pro8rammes. albeit for a short¢r
amount of time, 8iving parti¢ipanls a much-needed routine and oppottynity to connect with each other.
We also extended our usual offer from term-time i)nly to all year-round. in re5pon5e to feedback we
received from participants who didn't wanL or need. a break during those challenging times.
Zoom Disco- our monthly Zoom discos continued throughout the year, giving people an Oppor￿nity to
connect with peers across Yorkshire.
DoilyAclivilies- these accessible. creative. educational activities that could be done at home using
sources found around the house and garden were published on a weekly basis on our website" during
2020121 we published 26 weeks. worth of activities.
Colouring Pages- One of our artists continued to d¢sign a colouring page in lin¢ with our weekly th¢m¢
which people could print out and do at hom¢. durin8 2020r21 we published 35 of these on our website.
Offline Packs - We continued to send out Daily Activity packs and Colouring pages in the post to 49
people, while 23 people received weekly phone calls.
By June 2021. 560/0 of our participants were a¢¢essing our Zoom s¢s5ions. an increase of10 people from
the end of the last financial year. This increase was achieved by investing a great deal of time and effort
in encouraging participants and their support networks to embrace our digital approach, and wa5
supported by a donation of l O devices from Go(Ml Things Foundation through ihe Everyone Connected
initiative.
Pareni ¢mdCarer Zoom - Th¢ pandemic was a Challenging time for many of the parents and carers of our
participanls. and in October 2020 we set up a monthly Zoom quiz nighi specifically to support ihem. This
came as a request from the parent of one of our participants and r¢sw>nded to an id¢ntified need for
socialisation. A consistent group quickly forwned, with th¢ sessions aciing as an opportunity for people to
have fun during a time of great un¢ert2inty and sI￿ss. to ￿nneCt and wmmuni¢ate with other p¢opl¢ in
similar situations. and to offer respite for a short period one evening a month. The sessions have been
very w¢ll received and ¢ontinue on a monthly b&sis.
Aitn 2 - Tr#nsition safely back into Progrnmmes, with proeedures and syslems in place to keep staff
and participAnts safe and supported. both physically and emotiollally.
Alongside managing our onlin¢ offer. from March 2021 our focus shifted to preparing for reopening our
Lifelon8 Learning Pro8rammes as Covid restrictions began to ease. We consulted with participants.
support networks, local authorities and venues and undertlM)k extensive risk assessments, developing
thorough health and safety pro¢¢dures in order to prot¢¢t participants and to enable them to return safely.
We successfully reopened on 21° June and remained open until the end of our academic year on 23 July.
A key priority for us was maintaining the 'feel' of our Programmes. and thi5 was achieved thanks to the
extraordinary effort of our office staff and delivery team5. who worked tirelessly io find creative,
engaging ways to deliver our work within Covid guidelines. By the end of the a¢ad¢mi¢ year a large
proportion of participants had returned to face-to-face Programme5, and feedback from participants and
their support networks was overwhelmingly tx)5itive. Social distancing has limited OUT ability to recruit
new participants to fill all of the spaces left by those who have chosen not to return. this has led to a
reduction in fees income as a result. A key priority next year will be to recruit new participants if and
when restrictions allow.

reserves
In December 2020 w¢ were successful in our bid io the Lloy"ds Bank Foundation a￿1 the DCMS for a
subslantial grant towards our core costs. Much of this was used to cover the cost of our altemative
services in 2020121. and. despite the high level of uncertainty that w¢ experienced in terms of our
Iradin8 income from March 2020 onwards, the grant ultimately enabled us to in¢rea5e our unrestricted
reserves. This will provide us with an uneX￿ted but very welcome degr¢e of stability as we recover
from the impact of the pandemic.
Additional core funding was also secuTed this yw from The Bally Thomas Charitsble Fund.
Aim 4- Develop longer terni projects that respond to identified Deed allow us ¢0 maximise our
impaeL
To Wander is lo Advenlure
'To Wander 15 to Adventure. is a responsiv¢ arts project Tun in prtnership with Wur Bradford which
aims to improve the mental wellbeing of adults with l¢amin8 disabilities by reducing loneliness and
isolation and giving partTcipants the tools and confidence to embed rA)silive behaviours inio their routines.
The projecL based around mindful walkin& was delivered oveT Zoom from September to November 2020
with funding from Bradford Metropolitan District Council. We successfully applied for funding from the
National Lottery Fund to continue the project from January 2021 to May 2021. during which time
participants co-produced a mindful walking resource in wllaboration with an interdisciplinary artist.
Bradford Metropolitan District Council have now extended the project until March 2023. the longer-terni
na￿re of th¢ project will allow us to develop the work, including th¢ group meeting in person, and fvrther
increase its iTT]pact.
Move On Up
This year has also seen the development of our transitions projecL 'Move On Up. that will provide early
support to 290 young people with learning disabilities and autistic young people in Leeds and Bradford

Bgsis of independent examiner's report
My examination was Ca￿led out in accordance with the general Di￿tionS giv¢n by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting record5 kept by ihe charity and a
comparison of the ￿oUnts pr¢sented with those records. It also includes con5iderntion of any unusual
items or di￿10$UreS in th¢ accounts. and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evid¢n¢e that would be requir¢d in an audit.
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether th¢ accounts present a 'ttrue and fair view" and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
lttdependent examiner's ststement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe thaL in any rnaterial respecL the r4uirements'.
to keep accounting records in accordan¢¢ with section 130 of th¢ Act and section 386 of the
Companies Aci 2006" and
to p￿pare accounts which accord with the accountin8 records. wmply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Compani¢s Act 2006 and with the methods and principles
of the Statement of Recommend￿ Prnctice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been meL or
to which. in my opinion. attention should be drdwn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the
a￿OUnts to be reached.
