## **Objectives and activities**

1) To provide relief for disabled people in Nottingham, by the provision of information and advice which directly relieves the need of the beneficiaries and the development of services which either directly or indirectly facilitates disabled people's ability to live independently;
2) To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. For the purpose of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their age or disability.

## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Public benefit**_
Our activities facilitate disabled people's ability to live independently and improve their mental wellbeing through offering our support and activities to relieve social isolation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## **Achievements and performance**
2021 should have been a year when the charity focused on its sustainability. We had originally thought that chargeable services could be introduced and we would increase our fundraising efforts. However due to the aftermath of Covid and many vulnerable people remaining at home or staying away from group activities, we didn't feel there was an appropriate time to do this.
2021 did not feel much different in our office. As the year started there was an air of “ same old - same old” as the enquiries we were dealing featured the same topics as previously. January is often thought to be long month and it is recognised that the third Monday of January is “Blue Monday” (The name given to a day in January said by a UK travel company, to be the most depressing day of the year). In response our virtual sessions had lots of positivity and practical tips to help people improve their mental health.
We started a new piece of work with Nottingham Trent University students to improve our marketing campaigns, especially on social media. This in turn could improve online fund raising efforts. This work will conclude in 2022.
Disability Support was pleased to be asked to join an advisory panel that had been put together for the re-design of the Broadmarsh site.
During May our CEO was nominated for a National Diversity Award as a Positive Role Model for Disabled People. Although she was not selected as a finalist it was a fantastic to be seen in such a encouraging light.
Disability Support had been advising a gentleman who was refused a job after receiving an unconditional offer, on what appeared to be grounds for discrimination. During the summer his case was finally heard at the Tribunal Hearing Centre.
This was DS' first case that we assisted with to be taken to a court hearing and guidance was given during the proceedings.
The outcome was successful and was received towards the end of the year. It was a great high to see out 2021.
## **Financial review**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
We do not have a specific policy on reserves. However this is now under review.With luck we can focus on generating funds and implement chargeable services.
Page 3
## **Disability Support Ltd**
## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Principal risks and uncertainties**_
## _Major Risk_
We currently face financial risks due to the lack of fundraising opportunities and the incredible increase in demand for funding pots.
As this report has been compiled in June 2022, it should be mentioned that Disability Support is searching for continuation funding. A new proposal has been sent to the Community Fund and whilst feedback has been extremely positive, we need to consider when to submit the final bid to optimise financial security.
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Disability Support Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Small companies provision statement**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 26/09/2022 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Disability Support Ltd**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Disability Support Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021.
## **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**
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 that in any material respect:
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.

## **Disability Support Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Disability Support Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Page 10
## **Disability Support Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Gift aid**_
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class** Computer equipment
**Depreciation method and rate** 3 years straight line
Page 11
## **Disability Support Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
Share to Care fund - Awards for All - fund for social eating project designed to reduce loneliness and isolation; REACH - National Lottery Community Fund - fund for providing advice, support and guidance for disabled people, carers and older people in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire;
Meet & Eat - Awards for All - a project designed to address food poverty social isolation among disabled and older people;
Employment Project - Castle Cavendish - has been designed to support people who have barriers to employment, such as a disability, long-term unemployed or lack of confidence;
Lunch Club - Castle Cavendish - an extension of our morning social groups and was brought about due to conversation and consultation with peer support groups who came to Disability Support on a regular basis. This project also looked at supporting people on low income to access food and recipes who may otherwise not have eaten that day would have eaten only convenience food;
Tackling Inequalities - Active Partners Trust - to encourage disabled and older groups to participate in physical activities following Covid-19 lockdowns;
Therapy Dog & Yoga Project - Castle Cavendish - for a seated yoga exercise programme run by a yoga instructor and also for therapy dog, Jake, to regularly attend group sessions to help relieve anxiety and accompany people in their appointments with a benefits advisor;
Covid response - National Lottery Community Fund, Nottinghamshire County Council & Nottingham City Council - to help cover the additional costs of putting a crisis response system in place for prescription and shopping collections, helping people access medical services etc. Funding covered costs of extra volunteers expenses, PPE, emergency food stocks and a hardship fund;
Community Garden - Castle Cavendish - to convert the green space around our building into an accessible Community Garden;
Hospital to Home - Nottingham University Hospital - referrals from Nottingham hospitals for vulnerable people that are ready to be discharged. Volunteers ensure there are shopping basics and utilities are switched on ready for when the patient gets home, picking them up from hospital and dropping them off at home.
NCC Defra - This fund was to reimburse volunteers expenses when they completed shopping/prescription collection jobs and used to provide emergency funds for people who were struggling with financial hardship due to benefits being stopped or reductions. With these cases we would directly top up a person’s gas and electric metre to see them through to the next benefit payment whilst making a referral to relevant advisers to ensure that they are getting what they are entitled to. Funding was also used to cook and supply hot meals to very vulnerable people.
