ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 January 2022.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects, as set out in its governing document, are the promotion of social inclusion among disabled people, who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of being disabled and, to relieve the needs of such people and their families and carers by:

a) being an inclusive dance community for children and adults, disabled and non-disabled; b) providing and facilitating a support network for the families and carers of disabled people; c) raising public awareness of the issues affecting disabled people and their families/carers, both generally and in relation to their inclusion;

d) advocating for the equal treatment of disabled people and their families, including the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of disability.

Statement of Public Benefit

The Charity Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their powers or duties.

The Charity’s Activities

Flamingo Chicks is a multi-award-winning charity and inclusive community providing all children, including disabled children and those with illnesses such as cancer, the opportunity to enjoy dance, explore movement and learn alongside friends. In addition, the charity provides a vital peer support network for parents and carers, inter-generational volunteering, global outreach and advocacy.

Levels of inactivity and isolation are unacceptably high amongst disabled children: 40% of parents of disabled children say their child rarely or never has the opportunity to play with non-disabled children and a staggering 80% of disabled people are inactive. Flamingo Chicks seeks to combat inactivity and isolation among disabled children and their families and support disabled children to realise their full potential and advocate for their own futures. We do this through holistic programming centred on five core pillars:

From our fully accessible inclusive dance classes through to our Agents of Change programme of youth advocates, Flamingo Chicks offers disabled children the chance to participate in activities that combat stereotypes around what disabled children and their bodies can do and empowers disabled children to advocate for their own ambitions and desires. Complimentary programming supporting parents and carers, alongside an exemplary intergenerational volunteering programme, fosters greater awareness about the challenges and barriers

disabled children, their parents, carers and family networks face, leading to wider societal understanding and changing attitudes, actions and access.

Our advocacy and outreach work seeks to amplify this understanding and champion inclusivity and inclusive practices to lead to real change in the way society treats disabled children.

OUR IMPACT IN 2021-22

2021 saw the strength, kindness and creativity within our community shine. Despite the continued challenges presented by Covid-19, Flamingo Chicks responded to the surge in demand for our work, increasing workshop delivery by 43% and regular classes up by 25%. A total of 5581 children came through Flamingo Chicks sessions in the year.

From Glasgow to Guildford and Cambridge to Cornwall, children can now enjoy the fun and freedom of Flamingo Chicks. 44 new settings have joined the Flock this year, including Royal London and Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospitals. We’ve also hit our goal of working with every single Children’s Hospice in the UK!

We launched a range of new tactile, sensory and creative evaluation techniques this year to ensure all voices are captured effectively. Our outcomes included:

Before Flamingo Chicks classes, only 22% were very engaged in physical activity. After our intervention, this rose to 78%.

“We can’t thank you enough for the joy you’ve brought us. We love your creative dance classes. We have made new memories and friends.” Refuge Families & Team

4,400 children took part in our new virtual Calming Class, designed to reduce anxiety and promote self-help and we also danced on BBC Morning Live with Strictly Star, Oti Mabuse! We’ve grown our team of teachers to 20, appointed a new Assistant Head of Dance and welcomed 3 new Associate Artists into our team, highlighting diverse talent.

Flamingo Chicks recognised the added strain Covid has on parents and carers and launched new Stretch and Breathe sessions with 578 taking part, improving physical and mental wellbeing.

Two new Patrons joined the Flock - Peaches Golding OBE CStJ, Her Majesty’s Lord- Lieutenant and Mark Smith, Founder of Deaf Men Dancing.

YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

We remain passionate about volunteering particularly encouraging first time, disabled and socially isolated older volunteers. We’re privileged and proud that over 500 people gave their time to support us this year.

2021 also saw 5 new awards added to the Flamingo Chicks’ trophy cabinet. After a long wait due to Covid-19, we received our Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service - then went on to win another 3 new awards. Our CEO and Founder Katie Sparkes was awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours (2022) for services to disabled children and their families. All of these are wonderful recognition of the dedication, passion and teamwork that makes Flamingo Chicks so special.

The Flamingo Chicks’ Agents of Change (our Youth Council) matched passion with personal experience to campaign for a fair future for disabled people. In 2021, their voice was louder than ever, carrying out accessibility audits, interviewing VIPS and entertaining a host of celebrity guests. We remain in awe of their tenacity and drive to break down barriers to inclusion.

“I’m proud of being an Agent of Change. We break down barriers to inclusion, challenge what’s possible and showcase our vision of a fair future for disabled kids.” Laura, aged 14

The Covid-19 pandemic revealed the scarcity of accessible activity provision for disabled children, particularly online. Flamingo Chicks stands out as a provider of truly unique, accessible physical and recreational activities and a leader in this space. The last year has seen continued demand for our services like never before and we are determined to grow to respond to this need.

“We cherish our Flamingo Chicks sessions! It’s hard to find activities that are both inclusive and engaging for all abilities and needs but Flamingo Chicks does this perfectly! The sessions are a unique opportunity for our young people to explore movement with a range of adaptions perfectly pitched, along with different ways to communicate enabling communication, independence and self-expression. They inspire our teaching team too and we’ve really valued learning different techniques.” Tamara Stewart, Mapledown School - London Borough of Barnet’s Secondary School for students with Severe and Complex Learning Difficulties.

We are extremely grateful for all the support we have received this year. With the flexibility of funders, generosity of supporters, the incredible input from volunteers across a plethora of roles, as well as the invaluable strategic input from our Trustees and the immense hard work of our team, we have been able to create real impact and momentum. Thank you!

Targets and plans for 2022-23

By 2023 we want to create a community of more than 6500 children and families accessing our services each year.

Feedback from our community has always shown the huge need for our work but Covid has heightened this even further. We are planning exciting things for 2022/23, a step change in how we work to reach even more children – to keep innovating and pushing boundaries!

YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

First up we’ll be launching a new dramatic performance production called MEN-TOUR. Two of our talented dancers, who both have lived experience of chronic illness or impairment - will create and tour a unique workshop for disabled children to participate in breaking down gender barriers, with the male dancers providing relatable role models for disabled dancers of any age.

We will also be working towards launching a new performance arm of Flamingo Chicks. The genre of dance offers a real richness in storytelling, characterisation, music, costume and props and we will explore this in more detail, along with providing a host of exciting performance opportunities – showcasing what our children CAN do. We want to enable them to share in the joy and wonder of performance, motivating others with their incredible stories and successes.

Whilst we are growing rapidly and now reaching 5,000 children a year, there are 880,000 children in the UK. We are determined to scale, enabling us to bring our inclusive techniques to a much greater number of disabled children right across the UK.

Crucial to funding our work will be our annual fundraising event, The May 100. Set to return in Spring 2022, we will make it bigger and better than ever before, challenging hundreds of people to get active whilst helping sustain our work.

Financial Review

During the year the Charity received income of £149,952 and incurred expenditure of £137,447 realising a surplus of £12,505 for the year, which was made up of £10,980 unrestricted funds and £1,525 of restricted funds. At the year end the funds comprised £50,665 in unrestricted funds and £16,285 in restricted funds making a total of £66,950.

Reserves policy

Trustees have increased the reserves level for this coming year to reflect growth in operational budget. Based on 4 months running costs, this is £53,250. At 31 January 2022, the unrestricted free reserves (excluding fixed assets) were £49,742. The Charity has a robust and varied fundraising programme for raising both restricted and unrestricted funds which will increase reserves over the coming months. Reserves may be accessed, with the agreement of the Trustees, to provide working capital in order to meet new areas of endeavour and to meet emergency requirements.

Principal funding sources

Flamingo Chicks works hard to create a fundraising armoury with funding sources from several avenues. These include charitable trusts and foundations, corporate support and community fundraising.

The Charity would particularly like to thank the following for their generous support this year – and particularly their flexibility with funding enabling the charity to respond so effectively and swiftly to Covid-19:

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

on 27 January 2020 and is governed by its Foundation Constitution dated 27 January 2020. All assets and liabilities were transferred from the CIC to Flamingo Chicks CIO.

Organisational structure

The Trustees are responsible for decisions regarding the strategy and development of the charity, and other high-level decisions. Day to day running of the charity is delegated to the CEO Katherine Sparkes.

Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees

Regular Trustee skills audits are carried out and based on this, new Trustees are recruited, either to replace a person who has resigned or to bring specific skill and experience onto the board. Trustee vacancies are widely advertised. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by the CEO then by at least one other Trustee before being invited to attend a first board meeting as an observer. Following this the board votes on the appointment of the new Trustee. Flamingo Chicks prides itself on making its onboarding process accessible. New measures include a Board Buddy scheme, recording meetings to watch again and live minutes.

Risk management

The Trustees review risk at each Board Meeting and the Charity has a robust risk register, tracked with a traffic light system to stay on top of risk across the organisation. This year, Trustees have taken action to improve fundraising and infrastructure, including implementation of a new CRM system to better suit the needs of a growing charity.

Covid-19 continued to impact service delivery, but Flamingo Chicks was well equipped to alternate between online and face-to-face delivery as required. By harnessing technology, the Charity has been able to reach more disabled young people than ever before.

As the charity grows, improving systems and IT infrastructure will be a key focus for Trustees. Flamingo Chicks will also retain a cautious approach to Covid safety, given the vulnerabilities of those we serve.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value. The Financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern due to accumulated reserves, and there are no significant current or longer-term liabilities, and the organisation has significant net assets and reserves.

Income

All income is included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the incomeand the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Grants and donations are included in income when they are received, except for significant one-off grants and donations, received after the year end but promised before the year end.

Gift aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any gift aid recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor has specified otherwise. Online platforms automatically collect gift aid on donations.

Legacies are included when the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that the payment will be made, or property transferred and the amount can be quantified.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.

The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees' Annual Report.
