Trustee Annual Report

Aims & Purposes
Andover Twenty1 is a parent-led Charity. Our purpose is to provide support to people with
Down's Syndrome and their families, from birth and through school. We want our members
to reach their potential, both socialty and academically. We do not want to limit the charity to
only providing for children. but the charity is currently only supporknng children and their
families.
We support children with Down's Syndrome. and their schools. to ensure the best possible
educational experience and outcome. We encourage them to be fully included wthin their
local community and recognised as a friend, not as someone different or rnisunderstood.
We know that children with t)own's Syndrome can Su￿ed when given the opportunty and
with the right support.
Andover is al the heart of our chartty and part of its name because that is where we stsrted.
It is also the centre point of the area we aim to support. We support children and their
families who live within a 25 mile radius of Andover induding Newbury, Winchester and
Salisbury as well as smaller towns and villages.
Objectives & Activities
Our Support Group
Andover Twentyi is a friendly group run by volunteers. We have a monthly support group
where parents of children with Down's Syndrome can meet to share tun and friendship but
also practical and emotional supporL
Parents can meet on the first Thursday of every month at Rainbow Comer, a respite faality
in Andover. People of all ages are welcome. and the location is ideal for the younger children
to play safely, while the parents £zn relax. chat and enjoy the refreshments provided.

Due to the Coronawirus Pandemic the monthly Support Group was suspended in March
2020 until May 2021 and the intention at this time is to restart the groups on June 10th 2021
in accordance with the govemment guidelines for charity events.
Early Development Groups
For our babies and preschiJ)l age children Andover Twenty1 hosts monthty Early
Development Groups facilÉtated by LETS Go! UK. These sessions teach the children a wide
range of skills to help them meet their development milestones and provide a firm foundation
for further leaming.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic Andover Twenty1 worf(ed closely with their provider
LETSGO! UK to provide a remote seNice for the Earfy Development Groups via zoom.
These began in April 2020 and were maintained until September 2020 when Face to Face
groups resumed. When lockdown happened in December 2020, remote services were
offered. then frorn April 2021 Fa￿ to Face groups resumed once again. The new groups
were planned and conducted in aCc￿rdan￿ with govemment guidelines for the time.
School Advisory Serrfice
Every Andover Twenty1 member of school age in a mainstream school is eligible to apply for
inclusion in the School Advisory servi￿ (SAS). Participation is fully funded by Andover
Twenty1 and approval is required by the child's school.
The purpose of the SAS is to provide a qualtfied bridge betsveen students with l)own's
Syndrome, their families and the school they attend. The service recognises that not all
mainstream schools have experience of. and expertise in. teaching children wtlh Down's
Syndrome.
The specialist advisor. provided by LETS Go! UK visited children participating in the
scheme for half a day every term. Durirtg each visit the child is observed within the
classroom and LetsGo!UK listens to any speGifiG educational or behavioural concems the
teaching staff may have. They will also perfomi individual ontrtiFone assessments
considering the current level of development and progress. They will then discuss and
develop targets with teaching staff and family.
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemrc Andover Twenty1 worked dosely with their provider LETS
Go! UK to provide a remote service for the schools or parents. depending on whether the
child was being educated at home or at school. These remote sessions were provided from
April 2020. Face to Face sessions started again from September 2020 in accordance with
govemment guidelines. these were offered for parents and schools who were comfortable
with the Face to fa￿ servi￿. Remote sessions continued for those who were not able to
participate in the face to fa￿ sessions. It is anticipated that all sessions in September 2021
will be face to fa￿.

the training is to highlight the leaming profile of children with Down's Syndrome. Training

Managing behawour
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic the training sessions in April and June 2020 were
can￿lled. Andover Twenty1 then worked dosely wtth LETSGo!UK to provide extensive
on-line training in February 2021 on the topic of Positive Behaviour. This training was the
equivalent of 3 training sessions provided in video fonn and then induded a question and
answer session by zi)om with all parties. The fomiat allowed 30 attendees and the sessions
were oversubscribed. It was very well receNed.
Achievements and Performance
This year's achievements have been curtailed due to the CoronaviTUS restrictions. We are
pleased that LETS Gol UK managed to keep core services running throughout lockdown:
The Early Development Groups were both on4ine meetings with the parents and later
became fac* to face. The School Advisory Service was either face to face or on line as
required by Govemment guidan￿ and depending on the vulnerability of members. We are
continuing to adjust our ongoing services accordingty as and when new guidaft￿ is issued.

Behaviour.
The session was offered to 32 people and was fvlty booked. They received 3, hour long
videos to watch in their own time. with activities to complete. Parbcipants were then invited
to a live online session for a Q&A and to discuss the activities.we invited parents. nursery
staff and school staff to this training.
Monthly Stay & Play
l the stay and play sessions were cancelled this year due to the Coronavirus Pandemic as
it was not felt safe to hold them. We plan to restart Ihese sessions in June 2021.
Speech Therapy
In November 2020 Andover Twenty1 began a Speech Therapy project M has become an
ongoing battle for all members to obtain Speech And Language Therapy from the local
Authority for the children and it is essential for the children with Down Syndrome in order that
they can achieve their potential to be able to coFnmunicate. Andover Twenty won a Grant
from the National Lottery Communty Fund to pay for indtvKlual speech therapy. The
sessions were offered to 10 of our members. with 7 parents agreeing. (Some parents
already had private speech therapists or were being provided for by their schools). One
additional member joined the sessions later on in the year. This has been an enormous
success as these are children who had been discharged from the NHS provision but still
needed the serviGe. Speech therapy took place at the children's schr)ols and staff were able
to continue daily practise with th8 children. Parents and Staff have commented on the
success of Ihe project There will be a full review of the project vthen it ends in July 2021.
Resource Library
In March 2021 Andover Twenty1 launched their Resource Library. Afantsstic resource for
ils members. The Library holds a huge variety of useful things for parents to borrow. From
books on education and physiotherapy equipment to sensory toys and SpeeGh and
Language aids. All of which are expensive for our members to purchase themselves. These
can be booked out and borrowed for free by Andover Twenty1 Members.

Member Events
Fa￿ to Face Member Events have not happened in Ihe same way as previousEy 2020-2021
due to the Coronavirus Pandemic but virtual events to raise awareness and funds are listed
below.
Fundraising & Awareness
Andover Twenty1 is entirety dependent on grants and donations to provide serVI￿S to its
members. Even though the Coronavirus Pandemic depleted our opportunities for fundraising
we have been able to do the following events.
Virtual Hike
11 Andover Twenty1 members participated in a virtual hike from Lands End to
John-O'Groats. They started their hike in August 2020 and afflved at their destination in
December 2020. The team managed to fundraise a fantastic £3000 for Andover Twenty1.
Progress was published on social media regularly throughout the hike and raised fantastic
public awareness for the chariVs cause.
National Lottery Community Fund
Andover Twenty1 successfvlty won a grant from the The National Lottery Communty Fund
for £9000 to ￿nd a special Speech and Language Therapy projecL Speaking Space
Therapists provided 7 {8) children individual Speech and Language Therapy on a monthly
basis from November 2020 to April 2021. Wrth the remaining funds the charity were able to
purchase valuable Speech aids for the resource library, which all members ofAndover
Twenty1 can bo￿Ow.
Andover Twenty1 Christmas Cards
Before Christmas 2020 Andover Twenty1 joined forces wtih local artistArt Willow Soul.
Andover Twenty1 children created their own stars or snowmen. whith were then
incorporated into beautiful christmas Gards for Andover Twenty1. These were quickly sold
out raising fantastiG awareness and £125 for the charity.

21 March 2021 World Down's Syndrome Day (WDSD)
We always support Wodd Doym's Syndrome Day on 21st March and are very gratefvl to the
many local schools and businesses that encourage their staff and students lo wear 'Lots of
SoGks' for the day and raise money for Andover Twenty1. This year WDSD occurred in
lockdown. Nevertheless schools and businesses still took part and we were able to raise
awareness and funds.
Andover Twenty1 joined wtth Love Andover and Canto Gelato Ice Cream to hold a 'Window
Wanderfand, Competition. AJI over Andover people filled their windows wilh Colortul socks to
mark World Down Syndrome Day. The winners of the best window received a vou¢her to
spend in Ihe favourile ice cream cafe in Andover Town Centre. This was all advertised in
social media and raised great local awareness of our tharity and the Down Syndrome
Communty.
In addition Andover Twenty1 sold branded hoodies to raise ￿ndS and awareness and
schools participated in a 'Lots of Swks, colouring cx)mpetition. The overall winners received
donated prizes and all school winners received Andover Twenty1 badges.
MUJV
MUJV provides 24hour emergency callout ServI￿S for armed service utilities. In January
2020 we were chosen to be their charity for the year. Unfortunately the Coronavirus
restriction again redu(td opporiunities for fundraising. Consequenuy MUJV Continued to
fundraise for Andover Twenty1 into 2021 and raised a totsl of £2500 this finanaal year.
Andover Camival
In February 2020 Andover Twenty1 were chosen to be one of 2 charities supported at the
Andover Camival in July 2020. Unfortunately the Camival was postponed until July 2021 but
in the meanlime the Camival team have continued to raise av￿reneSS of Andover Twenty1
in the local community. Andover Twenty1 will still be the one of the chosen charities to
benefit from any PrO￿dS when the camival is able to go ahead.

Trustee Financial Report
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £14.170 wh￿h is a decrease of 430A from last year.
This is in part due to a (pre pandemic) dectsion to not repeat the extremely successfvl
auction event annually to prevent event fatigue. Then of course the impact of the
Coronavirus pandemic on ftjndraising opportunttses has been extreme.
The 2019 Gift Aid amount collected after last financial year's end totalled £239. Once agair)
this year's gift aid daim wll be submitted after year end. This yearAndover Twenty1 signed
up to use Virgin Money Giving as a fundraising platform, one of the perks of this platform is
automatic gift aid colleclion on our behalF. This means we will re￿1ve gift aid throughout the
year on eligible donations instead of one lump sum vthen submitted to HMRC. This method
also alleviates admin work required to submit the daim.
The charity has also been accepted for a Non-Profit Paypal account. This means donations
Gan be ac￿pted easily, the Paypal Grving Fund can automatically donate to us and in the
fijture a physical POS device can be used at events. We've received £460 via the Paypal
Giving Fund (donations via Facebook). Amazon Smile donations totslled £128 this year
which is a massive increase from last yearfs £16. More and more people hav8 chos8n
Andover Twenty1 to be theirAmazon Smile beneficiary.
Expansion of services has once again meant an increase in costs. The chaiity is now
offering se1m￿S to 20 children. However due to the servir£ adaptstions in response to the
Coronavirus pandemic the costs do not reflect what we would have spent this year if Covid
had not happeneAI. We spent £8,037 on all setvices this year, although pre pandemic costs
were estimated at £12,000. This year's increase is due to doubling EDG for Toddler and
Preschool groups, something that the charity feels greatty boosts member's developmenL
This change positively impacted 4 members aged 24, next year Ihis will POSTlively impact 6
members aged 24.
Unfortunately we have seen some impact on fundraising due to Covid-19. However, we have
been pleasantly surprised by different opportunittes and 5UPPOrt. In August 2020 we raised
over £3000 via our virtual walk to John O'Groats, WDSD 2021 raised £622 even though the
charity was focused on raising awareness instead of funds this year. We also had some
generous donations from businesses and organisations this year. MUJV. UK Power
Nehvorks. Midland Sandblast Trust. Border Lodge Freemasons. HSBC Andover.
