## INTRODUCTION FROM OUR CHAIR OF TRUSTEES
## D **ear Friend,**
This was a challenging year for WAVE, which started full of hope and delivered some highs and lows, but overall, a year of learning and encouraging growth, just not quite the growth we had hoped for!
The only recruitment planned is for a part-time staff member to oversee our Mixed Ability Team.
We planned to invest our funds – built up from our loyal supporters, a great FUNdraiser in the previous year and a generous Foundation – in more staff to move from a volunteer-led team to one led by a paid CEO, who was recruited in August 2024. The new CEO’s focus was to drive growth of the WAVEmaker network and secure the charity financially. Operational processes were streamlined, but limited progress was made in growing awareness and building our network.
Despite the staff setback we ran two central London taster events. Both events brought new people into the WAVE network, but they were also a chance for volunteers, Trustees, WAVEmakers and Groups members across London to get involved.
We were able to launch a short fundraising campaign that generated support with several one-off gifts to secure our finances towards the end of the year.
No new grant funding was secured to cover our increased salary costs, so we had to make a difficult decision; the CEO left in May. Bernice, our CoFounder, stepped back in to support the staff to operate as a self-managing team. This has proven to be an effective and financially sustainable approach; we will continue to monitor its feasibility.
Combined with the reduced staff costs, we ended the year in a good financial position. We also recognised the need to renew and refresh our board of Trustees and were blessed to welcome three new trustees.

## INTRODUCTION FROM OUR CHAIR OF TRUSTEES
The key lessons from 2024/25 were:
- **Lesson #1:** It is important to invest time aligning our new staff with our core vision and ethos, reminding us of the need to value all our staff and volunteers equally.
- **Lesson #2** : WAVE is at its best when we come together and mix. This remains a top priority. When we come together, we leave stronger.
- **Lesson #3** : When we share our core vision it garners financial support which we need to maintain our efforts to make a change in society.
- **Lesson #4** : WAVE as a movement can attract people with the right skills and commitment to our core vision and ethos, providing a secure base for our growth in the future.
Looking back, it was a challenging year, but we face the coming year with renewed optimism, a refreshed board, a stronger self-managing team, a secure financial basis, a small but loyal set of supporters and signs of growth in our WAVEmaker network. Growth built on the ongoing brilliant work of our Groups across the UK, delivering mixed ability opportunities to many, which is making a difference in so many people's lives.

## OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
**The WAVE approach is that everyone should have the chance to join in with community life and be valued equally. We avoid terms like ‘service users’ or ‘volunteers’. For us it’s all about doing things with, not for, each other.**
**When we do this, everyone benefits:**
- **Understanding and acceptance of people’s ‘differences’ improves Confidence grows Anxiety reduced**
**Friendships are built**
**WHAT WE DO Run fun events Share stories Help start groups Promote our ‘with not for’ approach**

## OUR STORY SO FAR
Our Mission **WAVE for Change works with individuals, churches, and other organisations to create more genuinely inclusive places in the heart of communities, where people with and without learning disabilities can enjoy mixing together, doing things With Not For each other.**
## WHat We Do
**We share our story to raise awareness of the need for and benefits of mixed ability social and worship spaces through events and media platforms.**
**We inspire and support others to adopt our We’re All Valued Equally ethos to start regular inclusive initiatives, including through our WAVEmaker network.**
**We have seen how individuals and communities are positively changed through engagement with enjoyable mixed-ability worship or social activities & we want to encourage others to join in.**
**We show our ethos in action, working with mixed-ability teams to bring people with and without learning disabilities together at our taster events.**
## Why our work is needed
OUR WAVEMAKER GROUPS **16 groups**
**Research shows that mixed-ability social interactions help to overcome anxiety and lack of confidence around people who are ‘different’ to us**
**Most people currently have little or no experience of mixing with individuals of different abilities because there are few places in communities that make this easy to do – people with a learning disability can be as anxious about this as those without**
**The majority of adults with and without learning disabilities are, however, open to the idea of joining in with mixedability activities – we need more places in communities that do this.**

## OUR TEAM
This year included significant staffing changes, which proved both challenging and instructive. We appointed a new CEO in August 2024 who made progress around streamlining our operational processes. Unfortunately, in the current difficult funding climate, no new grant funding was secured to cover salary and the Director’s contract had to be terminated. Our Co-Founder, Bernice, stepped in to support remaining staff to move towards operating as self-managing team at this time, which has since proven to be an effective and financially sustainable approach. The intention is to continue to monitor the longer-term feasibility of this structure.
**The Wave for Change team, Trustees and family members, summer 2025.**
**One potential WAVEmaker asked us whether we consider ourselves to be ‘a family to be nourished or an organisation that needs to be grown?’ This question has helped us as we went into a period of organisational discernment.**
**Carolyn**
The WAVE for Change staff team consists of our **Relationships Manager, Carolyn** , and **Operations Manager, Sophia Jane,** supported by a dedicated team of Trustees and Mixed-Ability Team members. In June 2025, Carolyn announced that she would be leaving at the end of the summer to work for a major
learning disability charity, but would continue to support WAVE as part of the Mixed-Ability Team. We wish her the best of luck in this exciting new chapter!

## OUR ACTIVITIES, REACH AND IMPACT
**Over the past year, WAVE for Change has continued to strengthen and deepen our work of creating mixed-ability places across the UK. Through our WAVEmaker groups, events and forums, we have supported meaningful, ongoing connections between people with and without learning disabilities, rooted in our “with not for” ethos.**
“Sometimes people don’t understand my disability or the way I am. For example, I’ve noticed children giggling at me, and I’ve thought, ‘Why are they laughing?’ I know they are just children, but it can still make me feel a bit down. I know I’m beautiful, even if others don’t always see me that way. With WAVE I feel comfortable, included, and just like myself. I’m an artist — a patternist — and I even made this postcard for WAVE! I get involved in different projects and have so much fun!’ – MIxed-Ability Team Member
**Growing Mixed-Ability Connections** 1
Two new groups joined the networking, bringing the total of WAVEmaker groups across the UK to **16.**
**28% of mixed-ability team members have a learning disability,** reflecting our commitment to shared leadership and participation.
An average of **1,171 mixed-ability connections** took place each month through regular group activities.
These figures represent more than participation; they reflect sustained, relational spaces where people are known, valued and able to contribute as equals.
A key learning for us is that depth of relationship matters more than just scale. Strong, well-supported connections between people, churches, communities and partners create more impact than simply increasing the number of WAVEmakers.
Volunteers contributed more than **135 hours** of their time **each week** to support WAVE activities. That’s worth about £86,000 per year if they were paid minimum wage!
We are seeing real growth and impact where we are able to offer contextappropriate support to authentic mixedability places and teams.
10
**Promoting our We’re All Valued Equally ethos** 2
**Our mixed-ability team delivered a number of taster events designed to help others to hold truly inclusive events and groups.**
**Our hope is to inspire, encourage, and enable others to set up groups of all kinds where we participate as equals, have fun, and break down social barriers.**
## **DRAMA TASTER**
**On 27th August 2024, we held a drama taster event in St Anne’s Church, Soho. Rachael Black from Go Live Theatre Projects facilitated the event. Rachael is an experienced drama teacher and director and holds mixed ability groups of her own. The event showcased what a truly inclusive and accessible group could be, and we also had a lot of fun together!**
**Twenty-two people came to the event, with equal numbers of people with and without learning disabilities. It was the first time that 16 of the attendees had come to a WAVE event. Everyone who attended was fully engaged in the games and activities, and attendees received handouts of accessible activities to try with their own groups and friends. Lunch was provided, enabling everyone to chat further and find out more about each other.**
**BOWLING**
**Everyone said that it was a lot of fun, and that it was great to not have any barriers to participating in each of the activities.**
11
## **BOWLING**
**In April 2025, we held a social bowling and pizza event for our Mixed-Ability Team, both to thank them for all of their hard work at our different events and to give them an opportunity to come together and get to know each other more. And, of course, to have some fun! Congratulations to Darrell who was our ‘King Pin’ at bowling!**
**A TASTE OF WAVE IN THE FRENCH CHURCH, SOHO SQUARE**
In October 2024, our mixed-ability team made another trip to Soho, this time to take part in ‘A Taste of Wave’ afternoon at the French Church in Soho Square.
Our WAVEmakers who attended said that this event boosted their sense of belonging in the WAVE for Change movement. We also received positive feedback from participants, including first-timers to mixedability gatherings, and were encouraged by the positive interest shown by people who were passing by. We also made an important connection with the Church of England’s Disability Task Group lead.
In December 2024, WAVE co-founder Celia Webster was recognised in the New Year’s Honours List with a British Empire Medal, acknowledging her longstanding contribution to inclusive community-building.
Celia founded WAVE’s Challenge Group in Muswell Hill after struggling to find spaces where her daughter with a learning disability could mix easily with other children, and where parents could support one another. The group has since become a lifeline for many families, offering a welcoming environment during periods of adjustment and change. Celia said:
**“I am accepting the award on behalf of the Challenge Group team and the wider WAVE for Change community, and I hope it encourages others to set up similar groups in more parts of the country.”**
We are proud to see Celia’s work – and WAVE’s values – recognised in this way, and we hope it inspires the creation of more inclusive spaces nationwide.

**Supporting WAVEmakers** 3
_**“WAVE in a Box helped us not reinvent the wheel. The framework isn’t prescriptive – we were able to adapt it to our members’ needs.”**_
_**– WAVE Little Ilford**_
_**“The nature of pioneering is lonely. Being part of WAVE means knowing you’re not on your own – someone’s been there before.”**_
**– WAVE Ipswich**
**We continued to support WAVEmakers through our programme of forums, holding three WAVEmaker forums during the year. These spaces enable peer learning, encouragement and shared problem-solving, reducing the isolation often experienced by those pioneering inclusive work in their communities.**
**Feedback consistently highlights the value of being part of a wider movement, rather than working alone.**
**The WAVE Darlington Café team**
14
_**Being a WAVEmaker made us feel that we belong, that we are not on our own. It didn’t feel like a constraint – it made it clear that we are part of a national group working for inclusion, which also gave us credibility.**_
_**– WAVE Darlington**_
## **IMPACT MONITORING**
**Each summer, we contact our WAVEmakers to monitor their progress.** Two new groups joined this year, bringing our total number of WAVEmaker groups to 16! Growing our WAVEmaker community is an important part of our mission, and we received 16 enquiries from groups that are interested in joining WAVE.
We surveyed one WAVEmaker in each team and were able to have detailed conversations (over and above the survey) with twelve WAVEmakers.
Half felt that it was going ‘better than expected’ One felt it was going somewhere between ‘better than expected’ and ‘steadily OK’
Five said that it was going ‘steadily OK’
One group said that it was ‘Not going as well as I hoped.’ This group was new, and it was taking more time to set up than they had hoped. Our group in Great Yarmouth has paused, owing to illness. The group in Hull stopped after the vicar left. The main issues identified were attracting new members and publicising their news. There is also a greater need for support to start and grow mixed-ability teams, and a related issue of succession planning.
_**“It’s been a way of growing in confidence – it’s a triumph that our group is up and running.”**_
_**– WAVE Church Mill Hill**_
15
**What We Learned** 4 **Working in a way that is truly ‘with, not for’ takes time. While our ambition was to further expand the mixed-ability team and revitalise WAVE in a Box during the year, progress in these areas was paused due to staffing changes and organisational transition. This has reinforced the importance of building capacity at a sustainable pace and ensuring that growth strengthens – rather than stretches – our core relational work.**
**We have also been taking more time to get further input from our WAVEmaker groups, mixed-ability teams and those with and without learning disabilities who attend WAVE events. This feedback is helping ensure that the resources and support we offer are genuinely responsive to the needs, experiences and aspirations of those we work with.**
## **WARRICK’S STORY**
Warrick, a young man with autism, discovered WAVE through his sister and dad, Stuart.
Stuart told us how Warrick, who usually keeps to himself, felt immediately welcomed at WAVE Café St Neots. Since that first visit, he has not only become a regular but also an enthusiastic team member – helping to set up and clear down, as well as participating fully in the mixed-ability activities.
With Stuart’s love of music and some home studio software, Warrick began experimenting. What emerged was a song inspired by his experience of inclusion, belonging, and community at WAVE.
We’re pleased to celebrate Warrick, a songwriter who reminds us that music is for everyone, and community is made stronger through diversity.

_**“There are not many places where Warrick fits in. With WAVE, he really enjoys the company and feels part of something bigger.”**_
_**– WAVE St Neots**_

**Broadening support** 5 **Alongside grant funding, WAVE for Change continues to benefit from generous individual support. In April 2025, Jane Walton ran the Boston Marathon to support WAVE, raising an impressive £1,300. We are deeply grateful to Jane and to everyone who supported her!**
**At the same time, the year has reinforced the importance of building a more resilient and diversified funding model. Sustainable growth depends on reducing reliance on one-off events or ad hoc generosity, and increasing income through a balanced mix of grant funding, regular giving and welldesigned partnership fundraising. This approach will enable WAVE to plan with confidence and to align its resources more closely with its mission and long-term ambitions.**
**We would like to thank everyone who has supported WAVE over the past year, and especially our major funders The Sisters of the Holy Cross and The Greendale Foundation.**
**15 years ago, I watched in awe as Bernice and Celia planted the seed that became WAVE. Today, WAVE flourishes – uniting people with and without learning disabilities to create vibrant, inclusive communities across the UK.**
**But this is just the beginning.**
**I tackled the Boston Marathon in April 2025 to fuel WAVE's growth. Every mile I ran, every blister I endured, every training session in the rain – it's all for expanding this extraordinary movement.**
**– Jane Walton**

## our PLANS FOR 2025-26
**Over the past three years, WAVE for Change has developed a strong foundation, piloted new approaches and proven the effectiveness of mixed-ability communities in practice.**
**In the next phase of our journey, we will continue to focus on our strategic objectives:**
**Reach and recruit WAVEmakers in new communites across London and beyond.**
**Equip our team for growth, ensuring we are adequately resourced with key staff and mixed-ability team members.**
**Work with our current WAVEmakers to support the successful start-up and running of their mixed-ability activities, ensuring lasting and supportive relationships.**
**Broadening our sources of funding to ensure financial sustainability, including a focus on fundraising campaigns that encourage mixed-ability engagement. Continue to build awareness of the effectiveness of WAVE for Change’s approach to inclusion via a wider range of channels, platforms, and taster events.**
**Collect initial benchmark data (for new groups) and annual monitoring (for existing groups) to build more robust impact evidence to motivate support and satisfy grant funders.**
**This approach ensures WAVE for Change remains relational and valuesled, while operating with the clarity, discipline and care required to sustain impact over the long term.**

## GOVERNANCE
**The Trustees declare that they 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 trustees are reporting the financial activities of the charity on a ‘Receipts and Payments’ basis using a template recommended by the Charity Commission for small non-company charities with a gross income of £250,000 or less.**
**WAVE is governed by a board of Trustees with two Co-chairs. We have a Relationships Manager who takes responsibility for our relationships with new and prospective WAVE groups, and an Operations Coordinator. Finally, we rely on a mix of volunteers and contractors.**
**New Trustees receive a copy of the constitution, accounts, and latest trustees’ meeting minutes. They are interviewed by the chair and one of the founders, and they attend one trustees' meeting as guests/observers prior to their appointment being confirmed by a vote of current trustees.**

## TREASURER’S REPORT
## **Income Review**
**I am excited to present my first yearly report as WAVE treasurer. It has been an honour and pleasure to work alongside so many great people, communities and organisations. I extend particular thanks to my fellow trustees and to our brilliant staff team, WAVE is what we make it to be and for that we should be proud!**
**WAVE began the year with a strong cash reserve of £61,002 and closed the year with £24,460.**
**This was a year where we made significant investments in staffing, aiming to improve fundraising, these investments however didn’t yield the expected additional income. Total income for the period was £44,106 which was disappointing compared to the prior year’s amount of £92,740 whilst charity expenditure increased during the year, especially on staffing, £72,621, circa 90% of the overall costs of £80,648, in the previous year total costs were £50,904. Staff costs are allocated to projects and activities in the accounts.**
**Whilst the year was challenging financially, as of June 2025 the charity is now in a secure financial position through implementing cost cutting measures and we aim to move towards rebuilding cash reserves whilst still delivering on our With Not For ethos.**
**Income fell by approximately 50% compared to the prior year. On reflection, the trustees ascribe this partly to the worsening macroeconomic conditions, hampering nearly all charities’ income. Grant receipts fell markedly, falling by over 66% to £12,500. Income remains primarily generated from regular donations, £7,654, ad hoc donations, £15,643, and grants, £12,500. Grants contribute important core and project funding, however we are moving to reduce reliance on them, seeking to adopt a blended, resilient funding model that draws from the wide range of connections WAVE enjoys. We continue to extend our huge thanks to the continued support of Donors, Supporters, Patrons and the wider WAVE Network.**
## **Expenditure Review**
**Expenditure is dominated by staff costs, totalling £72,621, easily the majority of outflows. During the year we sought to expand our work and reach by appointing a Chief Executive Officer, increasing costs compared to the prior year. At the time the trustees believed that this landmark investment into our resources would fund itself through improved grant receipts and deliver more impact to the community. Over the year progress was not made as hoped and to sustain the long-term future of WAVE the team and related costs were reduced accordingly. Project and activities costs remained stable, and grants secured in the year funded the Charity’s initiatives such as Tasters, developing connections for potential new WAVEmakers, and expanding the Charity’s profile. The changes to staffing post year end will ensure that the Charity is, first and foremost, fiscally sustainable.**
