Starting March1st 2025 Ending February 28[th ] 2026

Charity name: Perkisound CIO

Charity registration number: 1181601

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The relief of autism and autistic features
in Warwickshire and the surrounding
area by the provision of music education
sessions.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 For the period 1 st March 2025 – 28 th
February 2026, Capital and project
expenditure
has been for improving and maintaining
the Learning Hub, setting up an outdoor
gym, installing a sensory garden and
making adjustments to an area to the rear
of the centre to accommodate a public
footpath.
Learning Hub; more furnishing for
educational purposes and all electrical
connections completed, including
installation of full fibre broadband.
Sensory Garden; an area to the rear of
the centre was redesigned and several
outdoor sensory pieces were installed to
make a sensory garden. Two finder
mazes, outdoor mirror, swing seat, and
outdoor benches.
Outdoor gym; To the side of the football
games area, 4 outdoor gym pieces have
been installed to make the area and
active zone.
During the year we were informed that an
old public footpath had to be reinstated
to
the rear of the site, the sensory garden
was moved forward and a new fence
installed to comply with Warwickshire CC
footpath and keep the area safe and
private.
From September 2025 Perkisound has
been working in conjunction with Chill’d
CIC
who are an alternative education
provider. They have hired the Learning
Hub area for 2 days per week, providing
bespoke education based around the
interests of the young person.
Perkisound has continued to operate as a
music and recreation centre offering
private, exclusive use sessions bookable
by the hour, open daily throughout the
year for 50 weeks. Visitor numbers have
increased from last year by around 30%.
The centre is regularly used by SEN
schools, children’s respite services, adult
residential facilities, and disability
community groups, as well as families
and carers caring for an autistic child or
young person. Perkisound Visitor
numbers for this period have
been approximately 4500 and all visitors
have additional needs, the most prevalent
being autistic spectrum conditions.
Perkisound has continued to offer bi
weekly baby/preschool music stay-and-
play groups during term time and has
expanded the service by offering holiday
sessions to include siblings. The
sessions are led by a qualified music
teacher, with lived experience of special
educational needs and include a Makaton
sign session with the aim of helping early
communication as well as musical and
social skills. Holiday sessions
concentrate on live music play along to
be relevant to older children with
folk-influenced interactive band ‘Sounds
Indigo’. led by Trustee Tim Perkins on
violin, guitar and bouzouki. There have
been 86 sessions attended by approx..
1600 children. The group is for all
abilities and around 25% of these
children have additional needs and
attend the group due to the bespoke
nature of the centre.
