TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
In acknowledging the hard work of the CEO, the Board are pleased to be able to report the following key achievements over the year:
-
We released the Dyslexic Dynamic Report in partnership with the global recruitment company Manpower Group Talent Solutions. The report built on the conclusions from our reports with EY on the demand for Dyslexic Thinking skills and their match with Future Skills as outlined by the World Economic Forum. The Dyslexic Dynamic report looked specifically at how the Pandemic has fasttracked digitisation, highlighting that by 2025, 50% of jobs will be done by AI and machines, and the 50% that will be human skills are a direct match with Dyslexic Thinking skills. The report is available on our website madebydyslexia.org.
-
We redeveloped and launched the website: madebydyslexia.org, which features engaging content for all ages. The website includes a broad range of films, links, reports and factsheets which will be continuously updated.
-
We developed film, digital and downloadable content to promote and create engagement of our Dyslexia Training Films and Modules, and promoting Dyslexic Thinking skills.
-
We worked with Microsoft to develop and update courses available for free on the Microsoft Educator Center including translating them into other languages.
-
We created and launched the first episodes of the D.Spot Vodcast series, designed to explain Dyslexic Thinking and its vital role in the workplace. These featured guests from GCHQ, Manpower, WPP and Facebook and more. These were broadcast on YouTube and across all our social media channels, and promoted using mainstream and online media and PR.
-
We continued to develop a series of campaigns and social media activations to promote and create engagement of the teacher training and general resources to promote and empower our aims and mission. We increased focus on PR which created extensive coverage opportunities in traditional and digital media.
-
We developed a new kids website page using a range of resources based on Kids Dyslexic Thinking archetypes / characters from the Xtraordinary People book. These included factsheets, animations, quiz, book reading, and copies of the book to giveaway. The Xtraordinary People book was written by Kate Griggs, CEO of Made By Dyslexia.
The above achievements could not have been possible without the generous support from the individuals and organisations mentioned. The Board therefore wish to express their grateful appreciation to all those who have contributed to the success of this period.
In addition, t he trustees recognise that Kate Griggs is one of the leading authorities on Dyslexic Thinking and are very grateful to her for allowing the charity to use her research, assets and Intellectual Property without charge, and acknowledge that this is a huge advantage in enabling the charity to further its mission to empower Dyslexic Thinking in every school and every workplace.
Performance highlights in the year include the following:
Funding, Sponsorship, Partnerships
-
We continued growing our online fundraising with Facebook, Virgin Money Giving and Just Giving and were included in Benevity workplace giving.
-
We secured further sponsorship and support from high profile brands such as Microsoft, Facebook and Manpower Group to support and develop our charity objectives and activities.
-

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Media Coverage and Engagement
-
We further developed our global following and engaged community on social media, building a passionate social movement who spread our message by sharing our content far and wide so helping us to achieve our objectives.
-
We had very extensive social media reach on our activities throughout the year reaching several million people.
-
We achieved very extensive global PR/Media coverage across reports, events and content, again reaching several million people.
Dyslexia Awareness Training
Our Dyslexia Awareness course available for free on the Microsoft Educator Center continued to be one of the most popular courses on the Microsoft platform. The films available on YouTube and our social channels have been watched by millions worldwide.
Workplace Guidance
We developed and soft launched our initial workplace offer to include interactive guides and film resources. This will be developed further and rolled out in 2022.
COVID-19 Impact & Response
Fortunately much of what Made by Dyslexia does is online so we were able to continue most of our activities and projects by increasing our online activities and campaigns.
The pandemic continued to mean that all of our plans involving public events were put on hold. Where possible we held these as virtual events, or postponed them, shifting plans into 2022 onwards.
We had scoped and planned a global event series scheduled to launch in September 2021, but this was postponed due to increased Covid numbers and restrictions on travel. Whilst this didn’t incur any costs as work and launch was shifted into 2022, it meant that sponsorship income was also shifted into the next financial year too. Production and filming was taken online where possible, or delayed and completed once restrictions were lifted.
We continued to heavily promote our online teacher training as this continued to provide a valuable resource during the pandemic to parents homeschooling and teachers around the world.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Measuring Success
Success is measured by ensuring the charity is able to meet its objectives in the following four areas:
-
Has the charity raised the necessary funds to deliver on the charity's objectives and undertake planned activities effectively.
-
Has the charity delivered events, and campaigns that have returned broad media and public engagement.
-
Has the charity secured partnerships and ambassadors to help further its objectives and impact.
-
Has the charity provided free online resources that have been shown to support dyslexic people, educators and employers.
We frequently review our progress and believe we have achieved success across all of these achieving remarkable progress and impact in a short space of time, and during another particularly difficult period.
Working with Others
In looking to build on the charitable objectives the Board recognised the importance of working with other organisations to achieve the aims. In the year the charity has:
- Secured further sponsorship and support from high profile brands such as Microsoft, Facebook and Manpower Group to support and develop our charity objectives and activities.
The Board are grateful for the support from these organisations without which the Charity would not have advanced.
Financial review
The Charity had a successful year of operation despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the year the Charity has made substantial progress in the development of readily accessible training resources for parents, teachers and employers. Key to the success of this programme has been the monies provided by Microsoft to fund elements of the work for the year ending 30 September 202 1 .
The Board also wish to thank the wider network of supporters who collectively donated funds of £ 18,997 to support the charity in its work to help the world properly understand, value and support dyslexia.
The charity had a deficit for the year of £155,322 (2020: £127,478 surplus).
Volunteers
The Board wish to express their appreciation to those who have provided administration support to the Charity on a voluntary basis.
Due to the flexible nature of the hours worked and the tasks performed the Board consider that the value of the support provided by the volunteers cannot be measured reliably.
The Charity's accounts do not therefore reflect a value for donated administration services.
Donated Services
The Board also wish to express their appreciation to a number of organisations who have provided much valued pro bono services to help the charity develop its online presence and in the form of legal and professional services.
In accordance with the guidance provided in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) the Board have considered the extent and nature of the pro bono services and measured the value of these services to the charity at £ 32 ,000. This sum is reported as an unrestricted donation as set out in N ote 3 with corresponding entries reported within N ote 7 - C haritable A ctivities and N ote 8 - Support C osts as appropriate.

Reserves Policy
Following a deficit in the year of £158,322 (2020 - surplus of £127,478), the Charity has a reserves position of £65,450 (2020 - £223,772) at 30 September 2021.
Of the above reserves at 30 September 2021, none of the balance is made up of restricted funds (2020 - Nil)
The Board are grateful to those organisation who have provided funds to support the C harity's work in the year.
The Board are minded to establish a level of unrestricted funds ( which have not been designated for specific use ) equivalent to between three and six months of core administration expenditure calculated to be in the region of £ 3 5,000 to £ 5 5,000 . The Board consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Risk Management
The Board are in the process of building on the original risk evaluation to include the development of a register of significant risks that the organisation is, or could potentially be exposed to. Key to this will be a risk assessment process coupled with practical operational mitigation procedures.
COVID -19 Pandemic
As with many organisations, the impact of the measures necessary to combat the spread of the COVID -19 virus has impacted on the Charity's activities.
The prime concern of the Board is rightly focused on the wellbeing and health of all those who work with the charity and its beneficiaries.
In complying with the guidance provided by the Government, the Charity has been working with its supporters to make greater use of interactive capabilities as part of the ongoing work to develop online resources and aids for teachers.
In the light of this the Board are confident that Made B y Dyslexia will be able to continue to develop and expend its services to its beneficiaries during this period of uncertain t y.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee , incorporated on 4th February 2015 and was registered with the Charity Commission on 9 October 2018.
Prior to achieving Charity Commission registration the charity carried out its day to day operation as part of the restricted funds of the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity (Charity registration number 1064646). The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

MADE BY DYSLEXIA
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Made by Dyslexia is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 7 - 9 The Avenue, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 3YA.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in pound sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
With the ongoing support of its funders the charity is focusing on the delivery of its charitable objectives through an online teaching and resource platform. In the light of the action taken the Charity expects to be able to maintain core services by the innovative use of technology over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, a t the time of approving the Charity financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of any restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Donated services are measured and included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

1.5 Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Computers
2 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity 's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(Continued)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Trustees do not consider any key areas of estimation uncertainty to be material to the preparation of these Financial Statements.
Critical judgements
Donated services
The charity is in receipt of pro bono services from a variety of organisations. The valuation of pro bono services are estimated by the CEO and included within the Statement of Financial Activities.
The estimates are included within total income and total resources expended and do not have any net impact on fund balances at the year end.
