## **MADE BY DYSLEXIA**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply 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 financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
## **Charitable Objectives**
The objects of the charity as set out in the Articles of Association (updated September 2018) are to advance education for the public benefit in relation to all aspects of dyslexia and related conditions to assist with the screening process and to raise awareness of dyslexia, particularly but not exclusively, by:
- supporting and undertaking research into dyslexia and related conditions; and
- providing training, information, resources and related support in schools and the workplace.
## **Aims of the Charity**
To achieve these Objectives it is the aim of the charity to help the world properly understand, value and support dyslexia.
The charity has developed the following strategies to be able to meet these aims:
- creating awareness campaigns and research that helps the world properly understand the value of dyslexic thinking
- holding events that are filmed and live-streamed to spread information to large audiences, in-person and online.
- engaging with high profile ambassadors and brand partners who help us further our objectives
- working with exemplar educators to help create free awareness and training resources
- developing free online tools and resources to help support dyslexic people and their parents, educators and employers
## **Demonstrating Public Benefit**
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Charity and Public Benefit and confirm that they have complied with the duty of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard for it. The Trustees consider that the information contained within the Trustees' Report about the Charity's aims, activities and achievements demonstrates the benefit to the public.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_
## **Achievements and performance**
Highlights include:
- In 2022 we celebrated our 5th birthday and marked it with a huge landmark goal towards our mission to redefine dyslexia. Working with Virgin, Richard Branson and agency FCB on our Dyslexic Thinking campaign, we were able to get LinkedIn, the world's largest careers platform, to add dyslexic thinking as a skill on their platform with over 10,000 people adding it as a skill in just one week. Dyslexic thinking was also added as a noun to the dictionary by Dictionary.com. This represented a HUGE step forward for the global dyslexia community.
- The Dyslexic Thinking campaign had a huge PR reach into the billions, with international coverage across TV, press and online from ITV and BBC to Bloomberg USA and ABC Australia. And won 6 awards at the Cannes festival, including the most prestigious award, the Titanium Lion.
- We launched the World Dyslexia Assembly, as series of events bringing together some of the world's most powerful and passionate dyslexic people to work with us to drive change. The first Assembly was held in the Royal Palace in Sweden, in partnership with the Prince Couple, and their foundation. Prince Carl Philip is dyslexic. It was attended by VIP's and VVIP’s from around the world, including the team from the New York Department of Education and the NYC Mayor's office where we announced that NYC agreed to become the next country/city to host the assembly in 2023.
- Another landmark achievement this year was that working alongside the Mayor's office and Department of Education, New York City, the biggest school district in the world with over 100,000 teachers, became the first city in the world to train every teacher in dyslexia using our free training. A great achievement for others to follow.
- We continued to develop our new website madebydyslexia.com which features lots of engaging content for both children and adults. This now has a broad range or films, links, reports, factsheets and many resources featured on parents, teachers, kids, adults and workplace pages.
- We developed films, 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 a new course on Dyslexia and Technology which was launched in October 2022. All our courses have been improved and updated and are available for free on the Microsoft Learn, including translating them into other languages. We created a new campaign to support this to be launched in Dyslexia Awareness Month October 2023.
- 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 new films, digital and downloadable content to promote and create engagement of our workplace resources.

## **MADE BY DYSLEXIA**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_
Performance highlights in the year include the following:
## **Funding, Sponsorship, Partnerships**
- After a difficult period in previous years which limited live events and school activity because of the pandemic and uncertainty, this year saw a return to near normal partnership and sponsorship levels, and a real bounce back started.
- We continued growing our online fundraising with Facebook and Virgin Money Giving, JustGiving and were included in Benevity workplace giving.
- We secured further support from high profile brands such as Microsoft and Facebook to support and develop our charity objectives and activities.
## **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 many millions.
- Our Dyslexic Thinking campaign achieved phenomenal and extensive global PR/Media coverage across reports and content, reaching billions. And won several prestigious awards for our creative campaigns.
## **Dyslexia Awareness Training**
Our Dyslexia Awareness course available for free continued to be one of the most popular courses on the Microsoft platform. And with the added uptake by NYC the numbers rose exponentially. We added new modules and moved onto the new Microsoft Learn platform. The films are available on YouTube and all our social channels and have been watched by millions worldwide.
## **Workplace Guidance**
We are further developing our workplace offer to include interactive guides, and film resources. These will be further developed and rolled out in 2023 alongside a new campaign.
## **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 event during the pandemic.
The pandemic restriction easing meant that we have been able to run live events and resume normal activities. This has positively impacted our reach and income from donations as we were able to secure sponsorships and partnerships and look to the future.
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 2022**_
## **Measuring Success**
Success is measured by ensuring the charity is able to meet its objectives in the following four areas:
1. Has the charity raised the necessary funds to deliver on the charity's objectives and undertake planned activities effectively.
2. Has the charity delivered events, and campaigns that have returned broad media and public engagement.
3. Has the charity secured partnerships and ambassadors to help further its objectives and impact.
4. 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 with the lifting of restrictions 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.
The Board also wish to thank the wider network of supporters who collectively donated funds of £86,868 (2021 - £18,997) to support the charity in its work to help the world properly understand, value and support dyslexia.
The charity had a surplus for the year of £62,827 (202: £158,820 deficit).
## **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 £103,275 (2021 - 32,000). This sum is reported as an unrestricted donation as set out in Note 3 with corresponding entries reported within Note 6 - Charitable Activities and Note 7 - Support Costs as appropriate.

## **MADE BY DYSLEXIA**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_
## **Reserves Policy**
Following a surplus in the year of £62,827 (2021 - deficit of £158,820), the Charity has a reserves position of £127,779 (2021 - £64,952) at 30 September 2022.
Of the above reserves at 30 September 2022, none of the balance is made up of restricted funds (2021 - Nil)
The Board are grateful to those organisation who have provided funds to support the Charity'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 £35,000 to £55,000. 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 By Dyslexia will be able to continue to develop and expend its services to its beneficiaries during this period of uncertainty.
## **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.
The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall governance of the Charity and aim to meet as a Board at least twice a year.

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Made by Dyslexia (the Charity) for the year ended 30 September 2022.

As the Trustees of the Charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity 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 the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_
## **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 amounts 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, at 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 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **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 payments 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.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(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.
