ORJECTtVES AND ACTIVITIES
Principal Actbvjties
Th¢ principal activities of Purple P￿Ch Arts during th¢ y¢ar were related to..
l. TransfomTring the lives of learning-di5abled people by improving their understanding of, and
engagement wiih, (hemselves and the world around them.

Th¢ Trust¢¢s consider that through this work the charity is creating substantial public benefit through the

Overview of our Work
At Purple Patch. we believe that being engaged with the world is key to leading a full. happy and well
life. But many leaming-disabled people don't have 58f¢, supportive environments, where ihey att free to
be themselves and leam in a way that suits them. They're overlooked and underr¢pr¢sent¢d. Th¢ many
baryiers thai stop ihem from being able to access learning opportunilies means that they'r¢ denied the
benefits that come from them. And their voice5 are simply not h￿rd. W¢'re h¢re to change that. We're at
Ihe forefroni of building a fairer, more equal society. We're empowering learning-disabled people by
improving their mental wellbeing, social conneclions, confiden¢e. independence and life skills, and w¢'re
making sure that their wants and nttds are listened io and acted upx)n. And that'5 not alll Our innovaiive
approach also allows us to ¢hall¢nge common misconception5, srrengihen learning-disabled people's
support networks, enhanee organisaiional practices, and promote a more inclusive society.
The Purple Palch Approa¢h

activities. in¢lusiv¢ leaming rnethods, and environments that involve and inspire learning-di5abl¢d people
to engage with learning in a posttive and impA¢rful way. It supports people to explore ideas, themes and
tOPlCs in ways which are ac¢essibl¢. imaginative and joyfull W¢ work with people of all ages and support
needs- our approach allows ev¢ryone lo access our work in iheir own way and empowers people to learn
in th¢ way that best 5Ults them. and to become powerfvl advocates for themselves and their ¢ommunity.
We're ambitious in th¢ subjects w¢ ¢ov¢r: we don't see any Yeason that a person wilh even the most
complex needs can't engage with Shakespeare, maths or any other subje¢i 8nd we see it as our job to
bring them to life creatively! In all our work, we enable our participants io b¢ positively chall¢nged and

Aim 6- Develop 8 new Organisational Strategy.
Our Communication Strategy was finalised ¢arly in the y¢ar. and significant work was then und¢rtak¢n
towards developing a new Organisational Strategy. However. the financial ¢hall¢nges thal we fac¢d as the
year Pro￿essed Jneant that we had to pause development work to prioritise OUT immediate situation.
Work on th¢ strategy will continue in 2024125.
Finart¢i*l Review
The out-turn for ihe year is a (deficitysurplus of (£80.208) (2023= £2.863).
This l¢av¢s a balanc¢ on Funds at 3 l August 2024 of £100,265 (2023: £180.473).
Evidently. this year has be¢n a challenging one from a financial p¢￿pectIVe. An increasingly competitive
funding landscap¢, combined with risin8 costs, h&s led to us 105ing money for the first time in 10 years.
Thankfully, we've b¢en able to absorb the financial 105s, and have made significant adaptations in order
to secure our future. including strearnlining i)ur processes io increase etTici¢n¢y, making the difficult
decision to close our Doncasler Programme. and making redundanci¢s wiihin our office t¢am.

PLANS FOR FtrwRE PEIUODS
In October 2024 we'll celebrate our I S birthday. This milesione, together wilh Ihe financial challenges
that we've faced this year, has given us pause to refl¢¢t on who we are, what we do, and where we want
the next 15 years io take us. It's important to us that we remain true to the work that we're known and
loved for, bul, as a passionate. driven and creative team. we're a150 excited about the next stage in our
dev¢lopm¢nt.
Increasingly we're lold by participanis and their support networks that we create safe spaces in which
p¢ople can expre5S themselves. and thai this changes people's lives. Learning-disabled people are
overlooked and underrepresented. we have a tried-ond-lested approach to help people to understand
themselves and their place in the worll and a plarforni that we can use to amplify voices that ar¢ so often
unheard. We want io develop this. to grow with our participants by creating opportunities for progression
within rhe organisation, and to work towards systemi¢ change by taking people's issues to the right places
to influence policy reforn) so that they can lead happier. healthi¢r live5.
As we develop, it's vital that we listen to learning4lisabled people to identify what they want and need.
We believe that all learning-disabled should be heard. not jusi ihose who slep up to be &dvocaies. To
achi¢ve this. in 2024125 we'll be building reflection from participanis into our everyday work. developing
their skills and ofTering mor¢ oppothnity for s¢lf_adv¢Kacy. We'll also k working towards delivering a
Community-Led Aciion Research project that will create on indu5try-leadin8 culture of participation and

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
PURPLE PATCH ARTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 17
to 27.
Respective responsibilities of trM$t¢es and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law) ar¢ responsible
for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit 15 not required for this year under
section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examinaiion is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audil under company law and is eligible for
independent examination. it is my responsibility to=
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act"
follow the procedures laid down in the general Dire¢tions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145{5Xb) of the 2011 Act- and
state whether particular matters have com¢ to my attention.
Basis of independ¢nt examiner's report
My examination was carried oul in accordance wilh the general Directions given by the Chariry
Commission. An examinaiion includes a r¢vi¢w of lh¢ a¢counting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounis presented with those records. It also includes considerdtion of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such
matter5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence thai would be required in an audit.
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'lru¢ and fair view" and th¢
report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
llldependent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe thal. in any material rcspect. the requirements..
io keep accounting records in ac¢ordan¢e with seaion 130 of the Act and section 386 of che
Companies Act 2006. and
to prepar¢ a￿UThts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of se£tion 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principl¢s
of the Statement of Recommended Practice.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities

accounts to be reached.
