OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

April - August 2024

The hydrotherapy pool continued to be a success. It is used for at least 42 sessions per week. However, some of the equipment used in the hydro suite has started to show its age. Quotes for the replacement of this equipment were sought.

We have been able to continue to provide a number of different services for children and their parents / carers. Sessions such as Stay and Play, Sing and Sign, and Sensory Touch and Music sessions. Thursday night Youth Group and Saturday morning open age sessions remain our most well attended.

The Rebound Therapy sessions that have been running for about a year are being well attended with a consistent number of users accessing the sessions on a weekly basis.

We have started to offer a 'Soundbath' meditative session which has been well attended. Its purpose is to give those people who attend a meditative, tranquil experience.

We have continued to provide support to parents and carers during the Stay and Play sessions. Whilst the children are engaging in the fun activities the adults are able to speak to and discuss matters with a variety of health professionals who attend. This is a unique service which enables parents and carers to connect with health professionals in a familiar and relaxed environment. Our professionals consist of, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Dietitians, Health Visitors and the Visual Impairment Team.

We were thrilled to have secured a booking with Luci the therapy dog. Luci visited Jolly Josh on Tuesday 15th April, and the children and young people enjoyed spending time with her.

Fundraising:

This period has been a successful one with a wide range of activities.

We have continued to collect monthly donations from the Light House Project. Based in Middleton, this organisation donates items to families in need. This has been invaluable to our families, and donations have included household items such as toilet roll, toothpaste and kitchen cleaner.

Bridge Afternoon Tea - we were delighted to be announced as Rochdale Lady Captain's Charity of The Year. On Tuesday 4th March, at Rochdale Golf Club we held a bridge game and afternoon tea, which was charged at £10 per person.

Together with Deputy Mayor Janet Emsley, we hosted a wine tasting event at Duo Upperbanks in Rochdale. The event included welcome drinks and a variety of cheeses, and was charged at £20 per person. On 5 July we hosted a beach party at the Jolly Josh centre. We had games, a tombola, an ice cream van and a man-made beach. We raised £300 on the day.

On 11 August we participated in a sunset memory walk at Tandlehills Park. This was a beautiful evening where families were able to remember their loved ones whilst watching the sun set. We asked for voluntary donations and raised £185.

Together for Cinema are a charity who fit cinema screens in premises who care for people living with disability or illness. We are thrilled to announce that they have chosen us to receive a full cinema set up, including surround sound. This was fitted on 20th March 2025, and will enable us to hold film nights for families, and also present at fundraising events held at the centre. The grand opening film night was on Thursday 17th April.

We also held a variety of other events and received a series of other donations which are listed below: Co Op Charity - £1749.48; Fun Run - £1204.63; Tesco Blue Tokens - £1500; Rowan's Sky Dive - £1375; The Dutchy Grant - £2000; Cadent Charity - £6700; Fierce Dance Show - £1983.33; Manchester Guardian Grant - £2200; British Gas - £2000.

September - December 2024

The activities provided via the hydrotherapy pool have continued. We also carried out the work to the hydrotherapy suite. The refurbishment included; new flooring, new doors, new showers, new steps and a new fan. We were also able to appoint a new hydrotherapy lead to oversee all of the sessions.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our other activities such as Rebound Therapy have been very well attended. With our Monday session being completely full. We have been fortunate that our new hydrotherapy lead was trained as a rebound therapist, meaning we were able to offer an additional date to meet demand.

Our other events such as Coffee and Catch Up and Inclusive Play Sessions have carried on as normal and have been well attended; providing support for our children, parents and carers.

Callaghan House is a health clinic delivering a range of services, including; children's occupational therapy, paediatric physiotherapy and the children's community nursing team. Having worked with Callaghan House since the opening of the Jolly Josh centre to provide our visiting health professionals service, we now attend the various clinics held at Callaghan House every Wednesday, in order to promote our services to families. This began at the end of February.

Fundraising:

December saw our first ever Jolly Jingle Ball, held at Rochdale Town Hall. As well as ticket sales, we held a silent auction, raffle and special Christmas cracker prizes which all helped to raise £18,553,40.

Further to the first ball being held. We also opened the Jolly Josh shop. The shop sells personalised Jolly Josh merchandise. All profit (on top of the cost price) goes to Jolly Josh.

A couple of other Christmas activities also helped to raise money. Our annual Christmas Fair included stalls, games, and festive food and drink raised £1000 on the day. We also held a Wreath Making and Afternoon Tea event. This sold out within the first few hours and was a great success. We raised £700 on the day.

We also held a variety of other events and received a series of other donations which are listed below: 7/1/25 - Will Lumb - £1000; 8/1/25 - Pressed Flights - £2000; 10/1/25 - Costa Coffee - £1000; 16/1/25 - Bamford Dental - £350; 19/1/25 - Graham Pool - £1044.72; 11/2/25 - Plumb Base - £882; 5/3/25 - Milnrow Carnival - £300; 7/3/25 - Hozia Car Park - £356.60.

January - March 2025

The hydrotherapy sessions in the revamped space went from strength to strength. We were able to secure additional funding from Sports England to purchase new equipment. There is now a waiting list to access the sessions.

We continue to run a full and varied timetable, including Stay and Play, Sing and Sign, and Sensory Touch and Music sessions. Wednesday after school club and Saturday morning open age sessions are now our most well attended.

We introduced a new After School Club. The club was very popular, more so than we expected so we implemented a booking system. This proves the need for the service, as it is the only after school club in Rochdale specifically for children with complex needs. The club runs every Wednesday from 4pm to 7pm and provides a light meal for the attendees.

We have developed a system where one of our workers offers home visits to families who have English as a second language, or families who are anxious about attending the centre for the first time.

We continue to work with other organisations in order to reach as many families as possible and to provide an excellent service. We attended the SEND Advice Service showcase where we held a stall and were able to meet families who could benefit from our services.

The meeting this quarter took place was hosted by Sendiass. We were able to hear from new services such as the Gateway Centre, and we were able to share what we do for professionals who weren't already aware of us. We will host the next meeting in December.

Fundraising:

This quarter we have had several members of our community participate in fundraising events for us including;

Testimonials

From the first time we contacted the team at Jolly Josh, we were made to feel welcome and at ease by the wonderful team. Every single member of the Jolly Josh Team makes us feel very welcome as a whole family, which this means this is a place we can all enjoy together as a family. From every interaction you know this is more than just a job to them they care so much about what they do and the families, and this really shines through.

The sessions offered are incredibly beneficial and we especially enjoy the sing and sign and family hydrotherapy sessions, which not only help development but also socially. The carer coffee and catch up lunch are also a great way to connect with like minded people.

In addition, the impact goes far beyond the content of the session, as they become a place where you can share experiences and advice in a safe and supportive environment. This is our go to place and we feel so at home here.

Jolly Josh is an amazing place run by amazing people. It is somewhere you can come and be yourself and be supported while having fun. The whole family are welcome.

Feel so grateful that we have these opportunities as a family.

The staff at Jolly Josh are the reason why I love going to the youth group on a Thursday night. They are welcoming to everyone who comes to the centre, and they are always smiling. I have made lots of friends and it really cheers me up.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JOLLY JOSH CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Jolly Josh CIO ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 5th April 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.
