Aims & Purposes
Andover Twenty1 is a parent4ed Chaiity. Cijr purp)se ts to [￿VIde support to people wth
Down's Syndrome and their families. from birth and through ￿001. We want our members
to reach their potential, both socialty arKI aCadem￿lly. The charity is currently only
supporting children and their families but will (￿ntinue to support them as they grow into
adulthcM)d.
We support children with t)own's Syndrome. and their sclK)ols, to ensure the best possible
educational experien￿ and outcome. We encourage them to be fvlly induded within their
local community and recognised as a frsend, not as someone different or misunderstood.
We know that children with Down's Syndrome can succeed when given the opportunity and
with the right support.
Andover is at the heart of our tharity and part of [15 name because that is where we started.
It is also the centre point of the area we support. We support children arKI their families who
live within 8 25 mile radius of Andover incknding Newbury. Winchester and Salisbury as well
as smaller towns and villages.
Objectives & Activities
Our Support Groups
The charity held quarterly Weekend Stsy and Play sessions to enable siblings, parents and
grandparents to gèt together. There have been Chrisknas. Easter and birthday themed
sessions. The attendance has been varied but definitety decreased Sin￿ last year. With
between 5 and 8 families attending any one session.
The decision has been made lo reduce these sessions to Iwice yearly and to vary the
location and the activity. Thè next session is to be a Pic￿lC in the Park with a bcyjncy castle.
The charity has also rnade the decision to revert back to ernail newsletter5 alongside
publishing the events on social media. We hope this will increase engagemenL

Early Development Groups
For our babies 6 months to 18 months dd. Andover Twenty1 hc6ts r￿nt￿Y Early
Development Groups. For presch¢)ol age thiklren" 18 months to 4 years old and some
children who have decelerated. Andovèr Twenty1 hosts fortnightly Earfy Developmenl
Groups facilitated by LETS Go! UK. These sessons teach the children a wide range of skills
to help them meet their development Maestc￿eS and provide a ffirm fourKlaton for further
leaming.
School Advisory Service
Every Andover Twenty1 member of school age in a mainstream sdN)ol is eligib18 to apply for
inclusion in the School Advisory SeNce (SAS). Participation is ￿lty funded by Andover
Twenty1 and approval is required by the child's schcM)l.
The purpose of the SAS is to F￿0vIde a qualfied bridge belween students with Down's
Syndrome, their families and the schcM)l they attend. The servio re¢c¥3nises that not all
mainstream schools have experien￿ of, and expertise in. teaching children with Down's
Syndrome.
The speciabst advisor, provided by LETS Go! UK visits children participating in the scheme
for half a day every temi. thjring each visit the chikj is observed wrlhin thè dassroom and
LetsGo! UK listens to any specific educational or behaviourdl cOn￿mS the teaching stsff
may have. They will also perfomi individual one4owone assessments Cons￿ering th8 oJrr8nt
level of devek)pment and progress. They will then discuss and develop targets with teaching
staff and family.
If a chikj is transitioning from Mainstream to a Specialist schocA Andover Twentyl will
provide a transition session within the schc(*l to enable a handover of knowledge frorn Lets
Go to the new school.
Currenty Lets Go UK do not provide an advisory service to Special SchTh)Is but it is fett a
transits'on session is valuable to pass on relevant inf0m￿tIOn about Ihe individual child.

Andover Twenty1 provKles training for parents. txesthomjls and schcKAs. t(sth mainstream
and specialist schools. Training sessions have been u)nduded: in-person for Primary
School staffl parents and on4ine evening sessions for preschcd parents and staff.
The purpose of the training is to htghlight the leaming profile of children with Down's

In this finanaal year we only provided 1 training seSS￿n. ￿ndUcted by LETS Go. This
training was a full day for wofessionals and parents, hekl at The Lights, Andover. 22 people
attended this session with representation from most schools supporting our members. We
made the decision to not overload training this year due to decreased engagement and nol
wanting to repeat subjects too frequenlly.

Training
Andover Twenty1 provided 1 training session, presented by Lets Go UK. This session was a
11 day hosted by The Lights, attended by 22 professionals and parents of members. The
training was vary well received and will be re￿ated annually.
Monthty Stay & Play
The Baby Sensory Room Sessions were discLYttinued in Dec 2022 due to lack of
attendan￿. This is due lo less members within the appropriate age range. We continue to
review appetite to reinstate thvse sessions or similar.
4 Weekend Stay and Plays were held during the year. Less famikes attended these events
than last year. We are unsure why engagement has decr&%ed but we intend to switch to
bigger events bi-annualty and see rf that makes a differ8nc8.
Resource Library
In March 2021 Andover Twenty1 launthed thEYr Resource Library. A fantastic resource for its
members. The Library hotds a huge variety of useful things for parents lo borrow. From
books on education and physiotherapy equipment. trj sensory toys and Speech and

Language aids. All of which are expensive for our nwibers to purchase themselves. These
can be brx)ked out and borro￿ for free by AThkner Twenty1 Members.
We still do not have good engagement with the library. we intend to c￿ntsct sch(Kils directly
about possibty borrowing s(The resour￿. Previousty all loans went through parents which
may have been preventing access.

Trustee Financial Report
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £16,677 which is a slight decrease of £1.500 from
last year. Previous financial year we had some one-off fijndraising oppx)rtuntties whth were
extremely successful. Overall w& are quite happy with fuThJraising this y8ar.
Gift aid last year totslled £364, this is down from last year due to less campaons through
chuffed which automatically asks for and collects Gift Aid donations. Our annual run was
also moved so grft aid fvndraising for that will appear next time. Gift Aid year end 2024 will
be submitted shoruy and will appear in next year's rep(KL
Service costs this year were stable and within b￿get. We supported a similar number of
children Ihis year arKI services did not change. All services for the entire year had the 200/0
VAT incrèase that began last financial year, that means our overall spend was significantly
increased. Overall we actually spent £3,200 more for the same services.
The charity now offers seNices to 21 children. Early development groups. school seNic8 &
our training program all together cost £18.122. Which is actually under the £20.500
estimated in the 2023124 budgeLThe mileage alkrated is always estimated. so this is the
cause of the dtfference. alongside the reduced training prcKJramm8 this year.
Overall our individual fvndraising efforts thts year haven't prcKluced as many donations as
last year. Ajthough we had some generous donations from businesses and organisations.,
Endeavour School, South Central Ambulan￿ S￿viCe. Portway Infants sch(￿1, Friends of
Salisbury Cathedral, Caslle SchocA. ASDA. Salisbury & Andover Train Stations. EMM and
MUJV.
Some generous personal donations have been repeated this year and a funeral collection
was held for one of our member families, benefiting Andover Twenty1.
We were once again named as MUJV'S charity of the year for 2023. w8 have a fantastic
relationship with the organisation. over the ¢x)urse of the year they held mult¥)le events for
our benefit totaling almost £1,900.
We are looking to gain similar relationships with other local businesses and organisations.
Additionally we have a plan in place to securè more grants this year trustees and
committee members being asked to investigate opportunities and bring them to the table.
We applied for 1 grant I scheme this year. the C(>Op Community fvnd. which we won. At
time of WTiting we have received £1082 frDm this scheme with a second payment of an
unknown amount to be paid to us in Oct 2024.
This ye8r's financials ended up at ￿1,729 (unrestn'cted funds) We consid8r this a Successful
year due to the additional 20% cost for services. We have stabilised our finan￿S over the
last 2 financial years since the large deficit in 2021122. Goin9 fotward we see no changes
required to our o)re servÈces. but equally there is not enough in reseNes to commit to
expanding services.

equates to at least 2 academic years of o)r8 service payments, currently equivalent to
