The Charity is governed by its constitution. ## **Trustees** The Charity’s governing body is the Board of Trustees (“the Trustees”). The Charity’s constitution requires that there be not less than three nor more than six Trustees. The Trustees may elect new Trustees either to fill vacancies or to the increase the number of Trustees up to the maximum permitted. New Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term and may be re-appointed to serve a maximum of three consecutive terms. New Trustees will be provided with a suitable induction program to introduce them to the Charity, the Trustees’ decision-making process, their obligations under Charity and Company Law, business plan and financial performance and forecasts. There are currently five Trustees who meet as required to receive management reports and set strategy objectives. During the year under review the Trustees met three times. ## **Chief Executive** The Trustees have delegated day to day management to the Chief Executive Officer and the senior management team. ## **Investments** The Charity’s constitution states the Trustees have the power to invest surplus funds as they see fit. To date this power has not been exercised. ## **Principal office:** 32 Kings Hill, Beech, Hampshire, GU34 4AL ## **Mission** The Charity’s mission is to have a positive impact on the lives of autistic individuals and their families. The overall aim is to empower autistic people to realise their individual potential, improve their access to their chosen communities, and to enhance their emotional and physical wellbeing. ## **Our work** In this third year the Charity: - Enrolled 6 new dogs to our training program - 7 dogs successfully completed their initial training program - • Placed 5 dogs with their autistic partner 1 ## **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Administrative Information** ## **Key Statistics** ||**2021**|**2022**| |---|---|---| |Dogs in training at beginning of year|23|27| |New Trainees added to the program|6|6| |Completed training during the year|0|7| |Withdrawn during year|-5|-4| |**Dogs in training at end of year**|**27**|**36**| |**Revenue**|**£**|**£**| |Donations|121,471|124,219| |Charitable events|6,397|11,911| |Sponsors/funders|-|-| |**Costs**||| |Charitable activities costs|89,405|97,187| |Fundraising costs|27,856|76,249| 2 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** ## **Chairs’ review** Following on from the incredible challenges of the pandemic, 2021 was a year to embrace new ways of working and of finding ways to move forward, and the Charity’s senior management team have worked extremely hard at this. The Charity has been able to increase its funding, enabling the Charity to continue to support its existing partnerships, start new partnerships and increase the number of paid staff, therefore being able to deliver on its mission to expand the horizons of autistic people and enrich the lives of those people and their families. The Charity has built upon the solid infrastructure created over the last few years and has been in a position to employ administrative and support staff to create momentum moving forward. As noted last year, many of the decisions made both last year and again this year will need to evolve and develop as the Charity continues to grow. Key areas for the coming year include: - Maximising revenue - Developing the fundraising team, to include corporate and community fundraising The Covid-19 pandemic was disproportionately challenging for the autistic community, with high levels of anxiety, difficulties in processing information and uncertainty about the future. Many autistic people struggle with change and a lack of routine and the lack of control over what is happening in the world, coupled with such a dramatic change in routine, caused major stress. Due to the pandemic, we were again unable to hold any in person information sessions for prospective applicants. We held an online virtual information session that attracted 370 participants and 105 applications for an assistance dog, compared to only 6 new dogs joining the training program, demonstrating only too clearly that the supply of trained assistance dogs does not come close to meeting the demand. This year has been about continuing to adapt to the financial and logistical challenges created by the pandemic, finding new ways to work with our autistic partners and enable their relationships with their dogs to continue, despite lockdown restrictions, as well as finding new and long term income streams to replace those lost from cancelled fundraising activities. We are proud of the way the charity has adapted during this challenging period, enabling us not only to continue supporting our current partnerships, but to also begin new partnerships, opening up the world for more autistic people and their families. 3 **Dogs for Autism** ## **(a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** On behalf of the Trustees I would like to thank all our staff, trainers, volunteers, sponsors and donors, without whom none of this would be possible. **Max Charman, Chair Dogs for Autism** 30 November 2022 4 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st January 2022. The Charity was founded on 17[th ] January 2019. ## **Principal activities and objectives** The principal activities of the Charity are to promote the health, safety, equality and independence of people in the United Kingdom diagnosed with autism or autistic spectrum disorder by breeding, purchasing or funding puppies and dogs to be trained as autism assistance dogs; provision for the training and welfare of such dogs; and training and educating autistic people, their guardians or carers and families in the use of such assistance dogs and other such services for their benefit. ## **Principal office:** 32 Kings Hill, Beech, Hampshire, GU34 4AL ## **Trustees** The following have held office throughout the period: - Max Charman (Chair) Zoe Lattimer Richard Wilkinson Antonia Brown-Griffin Kellie-Jayne Cox (appointed 7 October 2021) ## **Review of activities** During the year the Charity has been successful, in difficult circumstances, in both obtaining and growing sufficient donations and raising funds to cover overhead expenses and meet its primary aims. ## **Public benefit** In preparing their statements on public benefit, the directors have, in accordance with s.17 of the Charities Act 2011, considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Dogs for Autism provides autistic people with dogs trained to provide suitable assistance and teaches the people and their families how to make best use of those dogs. Our model, which is constantly under review, has been evolving and new puppies generally live with a ‘Puppy Parent’ from the age of 8 weeks, being seen twice weekly by the training team during their first year, before moving into their Stage Two training. When ready, they are placed permanently with their autistic partner. Once placed the dogs and their handlers will receive regular visits and continuing training or refresher work throughout the dogs’ working life. 5 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** Data released by NHS Digital in 2021 estimates that autism currently affects 1–2% of the UK population. Therefore, based on the number of referrals in the system, there are around 100,000 children and 1,000,000 adults in the UK with autism[1] . Although not every autistic person or their family will benefit from access to an assistance dog many can and do. Research published in 2014 estimated the annual cost of autism to the UK economy was £32 billion[, ] compared to £12 billion for cancer and £8 billion for heart disease.[2.] The provision of autism assistance dogs gives potential benefits to autistic individuals, their families, and wider society. In addition to the direct benefit to the families involved, having access to an assistance dog can have a positive financial benefit for the NHS, reducing the need for medical care such as less frequent need for GP appointments, fewer trips to A&E etc. Being able to access education will provide long lasting benefits to an autistic person and may make it possible for some to make an improved contribution within the working environment that might otherwise not be possible, as well as potentially reducing the need for social care and assistance. ## **European NEN Assistance Dog Standards** The charity continues to be working in the CEN TC/452 committee Assistance Animals and Animal Training Competencies, and during this year our CEO was elected as Chair of the British Standards Institute UK Mirror group committee AT452. This role entails overseeing the work of UK assistance dog experts from across the sector as they work within and comment upon the work of the wider European committee. This year has seen the consolidation of work in all the working groups in preparation for the next stage of the process which will see the draft standards sections triggered as New Work Items during 2023. The charity is very proud to be taking a key role in this hugely important work. ## **Covid-19** During the year under review, the charity – and indeed the world – continues to be impacted by the effects of the pandemic. Training has been able to return to normal over the last few months but there have been inevitable delays in reaching training goals, and an increased demand for our services since the start of the pandemic. Our autistic recipients have also needed more support to overcome their anxiety about leaving the home, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Combined with cancelled fundraising activities, this has provided challenges, and the charity is proud to have come through this time with increased resilience. ## **Corporate Sponsors** The Charity has benefitted from the support provided by Oscar Pet Foods and VidiVet. Oscar Pet Foods continue to supply us with food and nutritional advice for all our dogs during their training period. VidiVet provide us with online vet support for all our dogs and this has been an autism friendly lifeline for our partners and their dogs when needing advice at any time of day or night. 1 NHS Digital, 2021 2 BMA Website 6 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** ## **Major donors** The donors who have contributed £10k or more are: Pets at Home Foundation, BBC Children in Need, The Bailey Legacy and St James Place. Our Ambassador, Stephen Brooker, organised and directed an incredible musical evening in aid of Dogs for Autism and the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice; this was a fitting end to the charity’s financial year and a way to celebrate the re-opening of theatres following the constraints of lockdown. During the year we launched our 100 Heroes campaign and are seeking 100 people or groups to pledge to raise £1,000 each during 2022. Following its launch in mid 2021, £20,000 has been raised so far through this campaign. ## **Financial Review** The Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and following notes show the performance of the Charity during the year. Income from fund raising events was £11,911 [2021- £6,397] and income from donations was £124,219 [2021- £121,471]. Surplus funds for the period were -£37,306 [2021- 21,237]. During the year £97,187 (2021- £89,405) was incurred for charitable activities and £76,249 (2021£27,856) on fund raising activities. ## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities** Charity and company law require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period. 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 Charity and of the income and expenditure of the Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. By Order of the Board of Trustees 30 November 2022 **Max Charman Chair of Trustees** 7 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** ## **Autism Assistance Dog Team – Zana and Luna** _“Luna is a loyal, non judgmental and responsive bundle of tail wagging joy- the definition of a positive companion and true friend. Zana has multiple disabilities which mean that she struggles to make connections and communicate. Since Luna has entered our lives Zana dances with delight and has learned her second word, which aptly is ‘Luna’”._ _https://youtu.be/8ZADMiWu_Nk_ ## **Autism Assistance Dog Team – Peter and Coco** _“Coco came into our lives, full-time, in January 2022. The change in Peter since this point has been amazing. He will now engage in conversation with strangers to talk about Coco. He will now come into a shop with me as he has Coco to keep him grounded. Coco comforts Peter when he is anxious or upset, demonstrated at his brother’s Confirmation, where she sat on Peter’s lap when he found the situation overwhelming.”_ 8 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** ## **Autism Assistance Dog Team – Josh and Bailey** _“Having Bailey has made a big difference to Josh. He usually finds a change of routine and location stressful which can lead to meltdowns, but having Bailey helps him relax and gives him something to focus on..”_ ## **Autism Assistance Dog Team – Isabella and Storm** _“How my pup helps me... Storm is my dog, He sleeps like a log, His teeth are sharp, He has the key to my heart, He helps me feel calm, Stops me scratching my arms, Wakes my up in the morning, When I just feel like yawning, I am autistic But you could easily miss it He helps me relax when it feels like a lot, Lays with me in our favourite calm spot, Rests his head on my chest, Makes me feel my best, I am autistic but you could easily miss it Going out can be tough, It can feel really rough, Loud sounds and crowds Make me want to scream out loud, He will make it less tough By letting me give him a tummy rub, I am autistic but you could easily miss it”_ 9 **Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** **Trustees’ annual report (continued) For the year ended 31[st] January 2022** ## **Autism Assistance Dog Team – Harry and Aero** _“Since having Aero in our lives we’ve had so many amazing moments with Harry and Aero. Harry has really engaged with her and lights up when she comes round to visit._ _Harry has even started to say her name and prior to this Harry is very isolated in his play and he’s non-verbal._ _We had a lovely message from his teacher saying the same thing! They have regular pictures of Aero and they share them with him. Also as a family Aero brings us all so much happiness she’s a beautiful girl and helps us all interact together. We are honestly so grateful for the opportunity to have her and knowing what a difference she will make to our life._ 10 RICHES & COMPANY Independent Accountants, Report to the members of Dogs for Autism (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation) I report lo the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 January 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102 SORP from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small Charity. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
