Tourettes-Syndrome, Inclusion in the Community (T.I.C)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 October 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 October 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Tourettes-syndrome Inclusion in the Community (T.I.C.) is the only charity based in Yorkshire that supports people affected by Tourettes Syndrome and tic disorders.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
"Tourettes Syndrome" is defined as "an inherited disorder of the nervous system, characterized by a variable expression of unwanted movements and noises (tics). TIC aims to promote social inclusion of people affected by Tourettes Syndrome and tic disorders in Hull and Yorkshire who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their medical condition. This will be done by providing a safe and comfortable environment to meet other people affected Tourettes Syndrome - raising funds to support people affected by Tourettes Syndrome - providing awareness talks in schools, colleges and workplaces.
Significant activities
Our main activities
-
Running support groups that enable fellowship for individuals and their families.
-
Running a Facebook support group that enables fellowship for individuals and their families.
-
Delivering awareness talks to schools, business and third sector organisations.
-
Providing advocacy between families and schools and adults and employment.
-
Providing advice and support for people living with Tourettes Syndrome, seeking diagnosis or support.
All of these activities are carried out in accordance with Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit and are designed to ensure that we continue to operate for the public benefit.
Tourettes-syndrome Inclusion in the Community (TIC) is a charity formed in October 2018 to support those affected by the Neurological disorder known as Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome. It is more commonly known as TIC Yorkshire by its members. The charity was registered in June 2019 and is based in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Since October 2018 TIC's main aim has been to provide support to individuals affected by Tourettes Syndrome. Tic is still young and has a long way to go to make itself known across the County.
The Facebook group continues to be the main source of contact for individuals and families seeking support in the area. During the Covid pandemic the group has tripled in numbers.
The monthly support groups attract all ages, from adults diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome to families. Numbers attending the meetings have increased throughout the year from an average of 20 attendees to 70. The meetings are held on the last Sunday of every month with the exception of August, due to summer holidays. During the Covid pandemic meetings stopped, they were replaced with online meetings via Facebook rooms. The meetings then started up again from June 2021 with a steady flow of both new and old members.
The need for training in schools continues to grow. Currently we have delivered our awareness talks to 26 schools, this includes talks given to an academy of SENCO's and academy of emotional wellbeing workers, a college class of trainee SENCO's and a university class of education studies students. An assembly of 300 pupils and a group of third sector organisations. Due to the Covid pandemic the talks ceased and instead an online video was created to share with the public. The video received over 200 views and since restrictions eased a further 6 talks have taken place.
The website was developed by one of TIC's members and went live in 2019. The website averages 3000 views per month. TIC continued to support families during lockdown and returned to face to face meetings once restrictions eased.
Whilst continuing to run existing services plans began to hold a three-day symposium in the city. A number of people agreed to deliver talks on various aspects of the condition. American favourite Susan Connors Med has agreed to deliver a talk to education professionals. Doctor Mordekar of Sheffield children's hospital has committed to delivering a talk to medical professionals. Over 200 places were booked on the talks but due to the Covid-19 pandemic the event was postponed. The event is now to take place in June 2022 and extra funding has been received to make the event much larger than originally planned.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going concern
The trustees are confident that TIC has sufficient funds to enable it to undertake all of its activities over the next year. Discussion around a reserves policy will be addressed prior to the next annual report.
FUTURE PLANS
Due to the Covid pandemic many services were put on hold. TIC has been able to see these services picked back up.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The Directors do not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income is derived from a combination of donations, which are unrestricted, and grants, which are restricted to specific funds.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment - 25% on cost
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measure at their settlement value.
