Executive Summary
Helping Angels Charitable Association (HACA) is a registered Charity (CIO - 1183838) based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. HACA was formed in 2019 to support adults and children with disabilities, to lead independent and fulfilling lives. We do this by enabling our members to explore activities that will promote independence and develop their skills and abilities. Stoke-On-Trent was ranked 12[th] in the Deprivation Index of 2019. Our support and services, includes some of the most deprived localities within the U.K.
We began as a small community group in 2018. As a Community Group we worked with the local community and saw firsthand the deprivation and complex needs of the families that we were working with. We saw that often the most vulnerable did not have opportunity to have a voice. We decided to form the Charitable Association to enable our members to have a vote and a say in how our services are shaped to serve them. Our work encompasses taking a multifaceted approach to deliver activities. Our members are aged between 0- 80+ and our sessions enable our members to explore pathways, and to partake in workshops, that promote their independence by developing their skills and abilities.
Despite these successes, the Board recognise that today they are operating in a very different financial climate and that as well as being a community resource providing services to the community at an affordable cost, they also need to work towards becoming more self-sustainable generating income from the services provided and relying less on grants aid for their work. In this financial
year we concentrated on various forms of sustainability and income. We also accepted as a board we were working in a new world where our messaging and branding had become more important than ever. We started to look at a complete re brand of the charity and through various forums and work decided that in line with The Indi Club we would start to Rebrand our Childrens and Adults services. This saw the introduction of Project Indi and Kindi our Adults and Childrens services. INDI stands for INclusion and DIversity and it is more inclusive to our future vision for the charity.

Our Approach and What we do:
Day Opportunities and Community Social Groups
We support disabled and vulnerable adults of all ages, to regularly access a range of diverse activities and workshops at our inclusive hub, The Indi Club. We are partnered and work with a range of local businesses, activity providers and workshop leaders to deliver specialised activity programmes that aim to:
-
Empower Independence. Our sessions help to create a supportive environment where people can thrive. Within our Independence projects we deliver everyday activities such as Food hygiene and cooking, allotment and gardening work, money management and budgeting, shopping and travel training. As an organisation, we pride ourselves on our services, that strive to enhance the life skills of our members.
-
Promote physical and emotional wellbeing. We understand the importance of exercise. Physical activity plays a pivotal role in contributing towards a positive mind frame and maintaining one’s mental health. We provide sessions as part of our Healthy Living Project programme; including inclusive sports and exercise sessions, our weekly walk & talk group, visits from health professionals and therapeutic arts and crafts.
-
Champion inclusion. Promoting and enabling social inclusion, is one of the core tenets and founding principles of HACA. We deliver a weekly lunch club and social night, aiming to reduce isolation, and provide opportunities to socialise and meet new people. In addition to this, we offer day trips and short UK breaks with accessible and adapted transport. Our Association places an emphasis on social inclusion, which ensures our members feel a sense of community and belonging.
-
Provide a space to express yourself creatively. We deliver regular drama workshops, singing lessons, dance sessions and art therapy workshops. These activities aim to get participants moving, build their confidence and allow them to express themselves in their own way. HACA regularly hosts sessions led by local creatives, that promote group participation.
Free School Holiday Activities for Families
We deliver school holiday activities for families. School holidays can be particularly difficult for some families because of increased costs, such as food, especially now, when costs of living are so high, and rising. Our sessions are completely free to attend and include a healthy and delicious meal. There is a wide range of activities to choose from, such as cooking, crafts, sports, dance, animal workshops, and more. In addition to this we also offer seasonal free or affordable family focused community events.
SEND Sessions for Children and Young People
We deliver regular activities for young people with special education needs or disabilities (SEND) in Staffordshire. This includes school holiday activities, after school clubs, seasonal events and day trips. Our sessions offer young people a safe and welcoming environment, allowing them to connect with other young people, build confidence and develop life skills. These sessions can be attended independently, providing respite for parents and carers.
Inclusive Work Placements and Volunteer Opportunities
We offer inclusive work placements and volunteering opportunities to adults and young people; allowing them to gain confidence and experience, enhance their life skills, to help them transition into paid employment and give back to the community.
Our volunteer programme embraces diversity and inclusion and ensures equality of opportunity for all people to volunteer in ways that are right for them.

Independent Examiner's Report on the accounts
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30/06/2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of 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 by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
· accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
· the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
· the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Project Indi (formerly Helping Angels Charitable Association) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the 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 - (FR102) (Effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
Grants and donations
These are included in the accounts when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income and any conditions to the grants have been met.
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.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Freehold buildings over 50 years Leasehold land and buildings over the lease term Plant and machinery over 5 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years Computer equipment over 3 years

Project Indi (formerly Helping Angels Charitable Association) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable status.
Provisions
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.

Project Indi (formerly Helping Angels Charitable Association) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
Leased assets
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.

You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $15.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
