ADHD Embrace

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

Chair’s statement

ADHD Embrace has had a busy year. Driven by increased awareness of ADHD and neurodiversity and continued demand for our services, our community grew by 25% compared to the previous year.

We welcomed the appointment of the NHS Independent ADHD Taskforce, with a national remit to consider service provision, and were delighted to be invited to participate in some of its committee workstreams. The final report which is a comprehensive and significant piece of work included some important recommendations, which we support. It is a call to action at government level to address some structural issues in order to improve care and support for those with ADHD. We continue to see long waiting lists (between one and two years) for both ADHD diagnosis and assessment for medication, despite more investment by statutory service providers and the implementation of the “Right to Choose”. Equally post diagnosis support in healthcare and education still has a long way to go and we continue to work collaboratively with statutory service providers to better support our community.

At ADHD Embrace, our focus remains on ensuring that young people with ADHD are understood, supported and ultimately thrive. Similarly our holistic approach to supporting young people, their parents and professionals working with them is vital to helping young people with ADHD. We continue to ensure our offering is current in a changing world and we believe that it is important to adapt and enhance our service offering based on our user feedback.

Service provision

Our service provision continued to be strong, with our core offering for parents and carers being well supported. In the last year we also added further topics for our parent workshops and courses to support some of the real challenges faced by families with ADHD. We ran parent workshops on executive function and covered how those with ADHD can be impacted and what parents can do to better support their children. Our parenting courses which provide strategies and practical tools to support children and teens with ADHD were well attended as well as those covering conflict in couples and the management of aggressive behaviour in children and young people. We rolled out more Post Diagnosis Workshops for young people and are keen to make them more engaging for young people.

Our engagement with schools, teachers and other professionals is an important part of our service and our work with schools and teachers has had impact but there is more work to be done. We continue to see that young people with ADHD face school exclusions or avoid school attendance. Both of these indicate the individual’s needs are not being met sufficiently; a complex area. We continue to be active on the advocacy side including working with education and healthcare statutory service providers to highlight the needs of our community.

We continued our collaboration with Kingston and St Mary’s Universities where we worked closely with the Educational Facilities and also Kingston University co-host our teacher seminars. We also worked on a research study with Kingston University to develop guidelines on how schools can audit their environment to assess if it accommodates neurodiverse students. We were disappointed that university-wide budget cuts meant our involvement in lecturing trainee teachers on ADHD awareness and teaching strategies to support pupils with ADHD was paused. Despite the cuts, we continue to have strong working relationships with both Universities including on their ADHD research.

Our work with other charities and support groups in the area has continued, ensuring we cross refer to each other’s services enabling our families to access a wide range of services and support. In addition, in July 2024 we entered into partnership with The Assessment Team, a group providing diagnostic assessments of ADHD. They offered some pro - bono assessments to those young people in our community on free school meals. In the nine months to March 2025, four families benefitted from this service, which was highly valued in the light of the long waiting lists for assessments.

Organisational developments

The last year saw a step change in our resourcing as we invested in the team to allow them to better serve the growing demand for our services. Our staff costs increased by 40% and the team complement increased to a full-time equivalent of 3.72 (2024: FTE of 2.42). The main areas where we expanded our resourcing was the hire of a part-time fundraiser, increased resourcing to our Community and Schools Outreach work as well as adding further resourcing to

support our Operational and IT functions to support the growth of our community and expansion of our service offering. Our small team of six staff, who mainly work part-time, all contribute to our service provision and operations through their respective roles. Our flexible working has enabled us to hire experienced staff, who value being able to work part-time in meaningful roles. We are also fortunate to have a group of volunteers, including Trustees, who contributed the equivalent of 1.0 FTE (2024: 1.7 FTE), and have supported the team in a wide range of areas. We are grateful for this support from our many volunteers and the benefit from an experienced Board of Trustees. During the year we undertook a Board evaluation in-line with governance best practice and also carried out a skills review. Our evaluation confirmed that the skillset and experience of the Board of Trustees was diverse and we had the required skills for appropriate oversight by the Board.

Our Trustees, as well as most of our team have first-hand experience of ADHD or associated neuro conditions within their family or professionally; we therefore have lived experience of the challenges faced by young people with ADHD and their families.

In the last twelve months, we saw Dr Bozhena Zoritch, Sarah Woods and Chris Burich step down as Trustees. After stepping down as Trustee, Bozhena has become our first ADHD Embrace Ambassador, where we are delighted to have an experienced and well-regarded practitioner represent us. We also appointed our first two ADHD Embrace Advocates, Matt Shepherd and Amy Jennings. Matt and Amy each bring their own experiences of ADHD and it is great to have them to support us in broadening our reach.

Funding sources

Our philosophy as a charity is to offer our services modestly priced or for free in order to ensure they are accessible to as many people as possible. We are reliant on funding to do so and this continues to be an area of importance.

Securing funding has been extremely competitive with the timing often unpredictable. As a small charity this is always a challenge, but we have worked hard to ensure that we continue to benefit from diverse sources of funding. Grants continue to be the largest contributor to our funding and we were delighted again to secure renewal funding from our core funders: Richmond Foundation, Hampton Fund, The Barnes Fund as well as the NHS Trust for specific services. In the year we also benefitted from strong funding from the Leathersellers’ Company, St James Place Foundation, Lord’s Group Foundation and The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames plus smaller amounts from a number of others.

We also received generous donations from our ADHD Embrace community, corporates charitable foundations such as Goldman Sachs Gives and ShareGift and royalties donated from the publication “Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women” by Dr Jo Steer. We benefitted from our community raising money for us with various challenge events such as Kew 10K, Richmond Marathon, London Landmark Half Marathon and Surrey Peaks. We benefitted from schools raising funds for us where St Stephen’s Primary School did bike ride challenge event and Tiffin School raised funds during ADHD Awareness Month. We were thrilled to be selected as a beneficiary charity at some community events.

Plans for next financial year and beyond

In the next year our focus will be to further improve our operational efficiency, expand our reach to support more young people with ADHD and further enhance our offering. We will continue to build our team’s capabilities including our digital marketing skills, and also enhance our infrastructure, including IT system and website.

We continue to be proud of what we have achieved and continue to see our charity playing an important role in supporting young people with ADHD and their families, with our holistic approach. We have built a strong reputation for the work we do and also for the impact we are having by supporting young people with ADHD and their families. My sincere thanks to the whole team of our dedicated staff, volunteers and my fellow Trustees, who have each contributed in their respective ways to build our capabilities and support our growing community.

ADHD Embrace

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

Report of the Trustees

1. Mission and principal activities

The mission of ADHD Embrace is to be a support community for families and professionals living and working with young people with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”) by:

ADHD Embrace offering is provided to the wider public and for the benefit of the public and everybody is welcomed. This is in-line with the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance. Most of our service offering is free or hugely discounted and in cases of those in financial hardship access is granted by provision of assisted places.

2. Legal structure

ADHD Embrace (formerly known as ADHD Richmond and Kingston) was originally established in 2002 and operated as an unincorporated association. It is currently constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), which was registered with the Charity Commission on 25 March 2020. The Charity is governed by its Constitution that was adopted at incorporation and was amended on 26 July 2021 to reflect its name change.

3. Management and governance

3.1 Trustees who served during the reporting period

The following Trustees served on the Board of Trustees during the reporting period:

Chair Annette Wilson
Treasurer Dhavarajh Frank
Secretary Clare Mullane
Other Trustees Dr Bozhena Zoritch (resigned 20 January 2025)
Sarah Woods
Katherine Virdi
Chris Burich.

Subsequent to the reporting period, Sarah Woods and Chris Burich stood down as Trustees on 2 June 2025 and 19 September 2025 respectively.

The Board of Trustees typically meets six weekly and in the reporting period nine meetings were held.

3.2 Appointment of Trustees

ADHD Embrace Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees are either representative of its ADHD community, which comprises parents, professionals and other related individuals, and / or are people with skills, knowledge and experience necessary to run an effective registered charitable organisation. In recruiting for Trustees, ADHD Embrace advertises the Trustee’ vacancies to its community through its newsletter and also advertises these roles to the wider community through various voluntary sector recruitment platforms and also through social media.

In the reporting period all the Trustees and the majority of the staff of ADHD Embrace have children with ADHD or associated neuro developmental conditions or have worked with young people with ADHD.

4. Operational policies and procedures

ADHD Embrace has put in place policies and procedures to ensure the Charity is run in a structured and efficient way and also to mitigate key risks. The policies include a Safeguarding Policy. All the key policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

5. Financial management and reserves policy

ADHD Embrace applies strong financial management in order to ensure that the Charity has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities and that its funds are managed prudently and spent to support the work as set out in its mission statement. The annual budget and quarterly management accounts are presented to the Board of Trustees to ensure sound financial governance.

The Charity implemented a reserve policy whereby it targets to hold unrestricted reserves of 6 – 9 months average expenditure for the next financial year. This policy was adopted taking account of the competitive fundraising environment and the timing of receipt of funding sometimes being unpredictable.

Unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2025 were £115,274 (2024: £94,828), which equates to 6.73 months (2024: 5.82 months) average expenditure budgeted for the next financial year.

Restricted reserves committed to specific projects as at 31 March 2025 were £5,566 (2024: £5,416).

6. Funding overview and going concern

ADHD Embrace funding strategy is to ensure that it secures funding from diverse income streams in order to ensure it is sustainable in the longer term. As our cost base has grown this strategy is even more important. The make up of our income is shown below as a percentage of total income in the year and illustrates the relative sources of income. As we have scaled the organisation’s structure and increased our cost base in the last year, we have been able to secure an increased level of funding from grants of 45%, compared to 35% in the previous year. The funding from our community donations and fundraising challenge events have not kept up to contribute as much to the increased cost base and so we saw a drop to 8% in the last year compared to 16% in the previous year. The make-up of our funding income was as follows:

----- Start of picture text -----
2025 2024 Variance year on year
Grants 45% 35% +10%
Corporate donations 17% 14% +3%
NHS commission income 12% 16% -4%
Income from service activities 12% 12% -
Community donations and fundraising events 8% 16% -8%
Schools donations 4% 6% -2%
Interest income 2% 1% -1%
----- End of picture text -----

In view of the diversity of the Charity’s funding and the level of unrestricted reserves, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Charity has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of its the financial statements for the period under review.

7. Overview of ADHD Embrace’s core activities

The Charity’s core activities are focused on serving its community and being an advocate for ADHD awareness in the wider local community and with statutory service providers in order to ensure its community’s needs are catered for.

It offers a number of activities focused on knowledge sharing and education – these include Seminars led by expert speakers, Post Diagnosis Workshops, Parenting Courses and Advice Clinics as well as an extensive website which has a wealth of information and a resource library of videos and other materials. In addition, the Community and Schools’ Outreach Programme of visiting schools together with the Teacher Seminars are also aimed at knowledge sharing and education on ADHD. Through our school visits we also lead ADHD awareness session to parents, who we may not have otherwise reached.

ADHD Embrace

Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statements

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with 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) – (“the SORP”) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”). The accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and are prepared on a going concern basis.

The Charity has taken advantage of section 4.6 of the SORP to report the Charity’s expenditure in accordance with the purpose for which it was incurred rather than on an activity basis.

The Charity has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption with regards to the requirements of section 7 Statement of Cash Flows in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102.

1.2 Revenue recognition

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities once ADHD Embrace becomes legally entitled to it, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and once any performance criteria has been met.

Donations in kind are included under donations based on estimates of the value of goods and services received or in the case of donations in kind for use at events (e.g. auction prizes) are recognised at the amount realised from their sale. No amounts are included for services donated by volunteers in accordance with the SORP. The Trustees’ Report gives more information about volunteers’ contributions.

1.3 Expenses

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis once costs have been incurred. Accruals for unpaid expenses relating to the reporting period are based on best estimates of amounts due.

1.4 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.5 Public benefit

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

1.6 Taxation

ADHD Embrace is a Registered Charity and meets the exemption criteria from taxation under the Income and Corporation Taxes Act. No taxation therefore arises.

1.7 Irrecoverable VAT

The Charity is not registered for VAT and therefore does not recover VAT on costs incurred. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.

1.8 Debtors

Debtors include amounts owed to the Charity as at the period end for the provision of goods and services before the period end or amounts the Charity has paid in advance for the goods and services it will receive. Debtors and prepayments are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

11

1.10 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions include amounts owing by the Charity as at the period end for goods and services received before the period end. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Creditors also include funds received in advance of the period for which they have been given.
