BAS has a strong core of peer support; services are governed and delivered mostly by people who are parents and carers of autistic children, and some of whom are autistic themselves. BAS has a strong ethos of being run by the community it serves. ## **Achievements and Performance** BAS has fulfilled its charitable objectives by delivering a wide portfolio of services to meet the diverse needs of parents and carers of autistic children and young people in Bristol and throughout the southwest. ## **Support** • Support groups in term time, BAS has a weekly support group where parents and carers can connect and offer peer-to-peer support with our experienced team on hand to facilitate and signpost where needed. We offer a mixture of face-to-face and online meetings, allowing participants to access support in the best way for them. During this period, BAS held 36 groups for 175 attendees. • Sensory Play Support Group In 2022, the Imperial Sports Ground, Brislington, opened Super Sense, a large sensory space based on suggestions from us and other local SEND support groups. We have continued to hold a monthly, child-friendly support group to enable parents to access our volunteers whilst their children enjoy the sensory room. During the past financial year, BAS held 21 play and support sessions at Supersense, attended by 169 people. • Coffee mornings Coffee mornings are an opportunity for our families to meet in a casual setting and connect more locally. BAS held 92 coffee mornings and meet ups throughout the area, including Easton, Brislington, Bedminster, Hartcliffe and Keynsham. Our sessions specifically aimed at Grandparents and Dads continue to be popular and there was a total of 360 attendees at our meet ups and coffee mornings in 2023/2024. • Online support The main BAS Facebook group has over 4,009 members at the end of 2023. This active group enables parents and carers to connect with each other, - 4 - ask questions and signpost each other to relevant information. This group is a key part of our peer-to-peer network. BAS has other Facebook groups including: - BAS Village: a member only support group. - BAS Marketplace: a selling sharing and buying group for BAS families, - BAS Dads: a group for dads and male carers to connect. - BAS Members can access free peer-to-peer support calls or emails. • Family Events During this period, BAS listened to feedback from its members and increased the number of family events designed to bring together families and enable children to access activities that may be challenging without the right support. We held a total of 10 events throughout the year, including Gympanzees Circus Starr, a Halloween event at Bristol Aquarium and a Train ride with Santa at Avon Valley Railway . Over 680 people attended these events. ## **Training and Information** • Short Courses During this period, BAS delivered 20 six-week support blocks which included the topics: New to Autism, Sensory Processing, communicating with nonspeaking children, Sensory Processing, Supporting Distressed Behaviours, Supporting Autistic Girls, and Anxiety and Masking. Groups were held in person and online using zoom. 236 parents/carers attended these groups, either in person or online. • Information Sessions Each month BAS holds an introductory All About Autism session for families new to autism looking to understand more. In addition, we hold individual information sessions on topics we know are useful to our members. In 2023/4 we partnered with Bristol City Council to offer the One-to-One parental conflict support sessions. During this period, 66 sessions were delivered to 217 individuals, many being run through the Autism Central Programme. • Autism Central Programme BAS run the Autism Central Peer Education programme in the South West on behalf of the NHSE . In March 2024 we had trained and recruited 24 peer educators, the programme supported BAS to deliver 980 1-1s and 137 group sessions with 937 parents and carers attending. • BAS website www.bristolautismsupport.org is designed to signpost and support our families with accessible information. The website has received increased views, as have our Facebook page and Instagram account. ## **Financial Review** The past 12 months have seen a period of continued growth for BAS, including the numbers of people the charity has supported and income. At the year-end of 31[st] March 2024, BAS had received an income of £246,501, compared to the previous 16 month financial year (1[st] December 2021 – 31[st] March 2023), of £122,095. This growth is due to successful fundraising, including the continuation of a grant with Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (previously the local Clinical Commissiong Group) for the Support Blocks (Short Courses) which continues until March 2025. - 5 - During this period, BAS spent £204,851, leaving it with a balance of £76,464. BAS continue to deliver a contract with the National Autistic Society for the southwest branch of a new initiative, Autism Central Peer Education Programme, to the value of £137,328 for 2024. A second year of the Support Blocks was also agreed with the old Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissiong Group, now the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board. The growth of the charity and its more stable financial situation enabled BAS to continue the direct employment of a staff team, which we are looking to expand in 2025 through the recruitment of a CEO. However, BAS remains indebted to its numerous volunteers who contribute an invaluable resource. There is no fund or subsidiary undertaking which is in deficit. Therefore, the immediate future financial security of the charity was secured. BAS has formalised the policy for reserves to build this fund beyond the £3,000 reserves held to date and we are close to holding three months of core costs in reserves. No funds are held as a custodian trustee on behalf of others. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** BAS is a Charity Incorporated Organisation, registered 1186287, and a company, CE019549, governed by Memorandum and Articles of Association. Trustees are attracted primarily from the community it serves, parents and carers of autistic children and young people. However, BAS will widen its recruitment pool for specific skills it believes is useful to the Board. Potential candidates are provided with a role description and interviewed; they can also observe a meeting before both parties agree to appointment. Safe recruitment is fulfilled with DBS checks and references. Jane Walton, Chair of Trustees Vinnie Wainwright, Treasurer - 6 - ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BRISTOL AUTISM SUPPORT** I report to the charity’s trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bristol Autism Support for the period ended 31 March 2024. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), as amended by s.145 of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under the company law and is eligible for independent examination; it is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act), - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - 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. - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Charity law prohibits the use of net cash inflows on any endowed or other restricted fund to offset net cash outflows on any fund outside its own objects, except on special authority. In practice, this restriction has not had any effect on cash flows for the year. The notes on pages 12 to 17 form part of these financial statements - 11 - BRISTOL AUTISM SUPPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ## 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES ## Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102 SORP) issued in July 2014, and applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Charities Act 2011. ## Funds structure Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the terms of a specific appeal. ## Income All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income from donations is included when these are receivable, except as follows: - When the donors specify that the donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods. - When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met. Income from grants, where there are performance or service deliverables required by the terms of the grant, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to payment through its performance. ## Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that agree all costs related to the category. Support costs have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity. ## Charitable activities Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the direct pay and non-pay costs and support costs relating to those activities. ## Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and therefore they have continued to adopt the going concern basis when preparing the financial statements. ## Governance costs Governance cost include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, and include its independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity including trustee expenses. ## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Depreciation has been provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value of each asset, over its expected useful life. The rates used are 25% reducing balance on computer and office equipment and 20% reducing balance on other fixed assets. - 12 - BRISTOL AUTISM SUPPORT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 **----- Start of picture text -----**
