The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charaties Act); and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s Statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 considerations 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 in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me 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 I 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.

Also specialist family volunteers, and appropriately accessible animal, bush craft, and other activities in nature. Carnp Jojo exis15 to allow children with complex needs. their siblings and parèntslcarers the opportunity lo experien￿ a 3 day camping holiday- something usually barred to them because of the need of full accessibility and specialised equipment. We believe that all Children should have the chan to spend time outdoors, In natur&, not sent away on respite holidays but with their own families. We also know thal many siblings of ¢hildTen with complex needs miss out on camping holidays with their 18wilies because of these same restraints. Our own experience tells us how isolating it can k to hava a child with complex needs- even mingling al the school gale is not possible if your child needs specialist transport- y&1 how much as parents we need the understanding, friendship and support ol our peers. Parents facing the same difficulties and battles. Parents who also often strugglè with physical exhaustion, mental health issues, and the ongoing anxiaty for thèir ¢hild and their needs. We believe that a camping holiday provides for all ol these things- for the child with complex needs, for their siblings, and for their parents. Summary of the main activities in relation lo those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, Ihe activities, projects or services idenlrfied in the accounts. Para I.17￿d C8mp Jojo offers.. A 3 day c8fflping holiday for 6-8 families al a lime, not just lor the child with complex needs bul lor their siblings and parents loo- because siblings also miss out on camping experiences and quality holiday time with parents. where one child needs intensive daily care A timè that allows parents lo build supportive relationships. Ouring the camp supportive community is buill amongst Ihe families, and where families come from the same geogfftphical area this is also takèn home with them A holiday where all activities are accessible lo all the family members, adapted to the level of involve￿ent that child can manage A holiday where really fun activities- fire lighting. foraging, beach lime. tomahawk throwing, feeding of the sheep. donkeys and hens, making digeridoos, ¢olle¢ling hens, eggs, making hammocks in the trees, campfires, music, and more- are available. A holiday where tired parents can be relieved of some of the heavy burden of care they carry day in, day out, yéar in and year out, for their disabled child.. by having skilled volunteers attached lo help each family. Where the parents, emotional and mental health, and their resilien¢e, Can be supported and strengthened through Ljnderstanding and shared experience A holiday where siblings can have fun all together, A holiday where lasling and happy memories can be made and recorded, since many of these children are life-limiled A holiday where the common undèrstanding ol other families in the same position can support and encourage, and give hope and courage lor whatever lies ahead. We believe that parents of children with ¢omplex needs are better able lo offer those children and their siblings. quality family and early life experience Il they themselves ar& supported and Ljnderstood in the heavy burden ol care-giving that they carry. All families with a child with complex needs. and those that work with them, know that Il's not easy to go on holiday if you have a chi with complex needs. And especially il's not easy to go camping! Needed equipment can be extensive - larger lenls. wheelchairs. hoists. feeding pump and supplies, medications, oxygen supplies, suitable changing place and shower. sometimes rnedical beds etc. So al Camp Jojo we ensure that everything needed is in place, and set up prior to thè families. arrival.

Individual contact with each family. as well as a common social event some weeks before the event, allows families to have mel with Camp Joio p&rsonnel and other families before the camp, and also allows for a detailed assessment of equipment, dietary, and accessibility needs for each family by the organisalion. Each fafflily needs a bespoke provision. .The camps are held at Ivy Farm in a beautiful Spot at the tip of Mersea Island in Essex. Ivy Farm has a large barn next lo the camping field that is used for indoor space for games and relaxation. One area of the bam has floor maltress&s and a hoist to give disabled children a quiet space to relax. The weather of course has a big impact on a camping tripl Bul we have the large barn for shell&r from rain or heat, and a large marquee for indoor activities too. Also a small separate lent for quièt 'down time, if a child needs that. The camp has activities for outdoors and indoors lo allow lor weather issues. There are a wide rangè ol activities availablé- most focusing on the natural world. Each aolivily is made accessible al some level for each child.

The children with complex disabilities and their families that the charity caters for are often those who have needed to'shield, during the pandètllic. W& have maintained contact with many of the familiès who have att￿ded ca￿p5 previously. 2. We did experiment with limited activities in August.. three families came over 2 days and we had a photographer in the hope of creating on- line content lor other families lo enjoy whilst safely shielding. These days included various activities and mel currenl Covid guidance. Families accessed the beach, craft aclivilies, farm animals, music. and camp fire, and enjoyed being outdoors. We were unable lo provide practical support as would normally be practice due to maintaining social distancing Ihroughoul. The families who came thoroughly enjoyed their lime as day visitors. Unfortunately, due lo 18¢hni¢al issues, we did not produce as much contenl as hoped, however, the family experiences from these days has been shared through our on-line channels and we learnt much through the process. 3.

The Trustees took the de¢i5ion in April that all camps would have to be postponèd. This p05ed a risk lo the charity in loss ol momentum, especially in our first year as a registered charity. The lack of camps, and therefore of any incorne from families, did pose a risk in the nece5511y to cover running costs without income. which has had to be met. There is clearly a risk in 2021 of this situation occurring again, bul the Trustees have addressed this with a COVID policy, which will be updated. and will. we hope. allow camps to takè place, Il perhaps in modified form. Another significant risk is that families will be18ss able to pay for the camps, owing lo Ihe general econorllic downturn. and there will be a higher demand for bursaries.. the Truslees will have lo manage this risk, by mal¢hing available funds with a lications once the in lo come in, A description of the principal risks facing the charity Para 1.46 and endeavouring to increasa our incoma by I fund-raisin activities.
