Reg. Charity No.1192282
## 2021 ANNUAL REPORT & STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Work to establish the charity was initiated in early October 2020 and registration with the Charities Commission obtained on 11[th] November 2020. Owing to the COVID crisis all meetings of the trustees and other interested parties were held virtually until the general restrictions were lifted. During this period the charity’s management systems were developed and arrangements put in place to recruit members, coaches and volunteers. Suitable venues support the planned activities were also identified and funding to support the charity’s planned activities was obtained.
The trustees arranged for two “closed door” sessions at Blackpool Sports Centre on 29th April and 6th May 2021 to test the arrangements for managing future sessions. These sessions involved a small number of individuals known to the trustees and confirmed that the developed arrangements could be safely implemented. The first sessions at Blackpool Sports Centre commenced on 13th May 2021 under COVID secure conditions. Attendance has steadily increased as the service became better known and the COVID restrictions relaxed.
Following a survey of members in June the trustees decided to run trial 10 pin bowling sessions at YMCA Thornton. These proved to be popular and now take place each Monday. Additionally trial dance sessions along with monthly multi-sport sessions at Palatine Leisure Centre have been arranged.
The work to establish a charity that is capable of sustaining its objectives, along with the achievements so far are summarised in this report. Further information is available from our web site www.togetherwecando.org and Facebook pages. You can also speak to us by visiting one of our sessions or send a message via email (info@togetherwecando.org) or text (07859 916181).
## Background
The Blackpool Bears multi-disability club had for over 25 years enabled people with disabilities to take part in sport each Saturday morning. However, its activities were suspended as a result of the COVID crisis and its management decided to close the club in March 2020.
In October 2020 a number of parents and carers who had experience of the benefits achieved by the Blackpool Bears club decided that a replacement service was required. We noted that whilst the Blackpool Bears had provided a valued service to the disabled community, it was not a registered charity nor a registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). After some discussions it was decided to establish a new membership-based charity (Together We Can Do) and that it would be a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The decision to form this type of charity took into account that a sustainable long-term service would need regular funding and would also require some staff to manage and deliver the services. However, we recognised that the organisation would need to be largely volunteer based and must have the right culture that put the safety and enjoyment of the people it supported first.
“Together We Can Do” obtained registration with the Charities Commission on 11[th] November 2020. The charity objectives are stated in the Governing document (ref 1) as being
1. The relief of those in need by reasons of their disability in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre by:
(a) the promotion of community participation in the healthy recreation by the provision of assistance and suitable facilities for the participation in sport, and;
(b) the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said habitants.
2. To advance such charitable purposes as the trustees see fit in supporting charity members for the public benefit, by making grants and awards to enable them to take part in amateur sports events.
## Membership
Membership is open to anyone who is interested in furthering the charity’s purposes and accepts that they must conduct their activities in a way to further its purposes. Membership consists of beneficial and non-beneficial members. Beneficial members are individuals with a recognised disability who take part in the exercise, sporting and social activities. Whilst anyone with a recognised disability can benefit from the charity, individuals living in the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre areas are given priority.
On 1[st] November 2021 the charity’s membership was

## Governance and Management
The following individuals were appointed as trustees when the charity was established.
Carina Gribbon Rachel Lambert Jenny Morris Fiona McIntosh Howard Robinson
Doug Everard and Tony Winter were appointed as trustees by the trustees at meetings held on 22[nd] January 2021 and 19[th] February 2021 respectively.
Collectively the trustees have a wide range of knowledge, skills and professional expertise which enabled the principal risks associated with starting up the charity and commencing its activities during COVID restrictions to be identified and effectively managed. Fourteen meetings have been held since the charity was registered with the Charities Commission. Work was undertaken in the following key areas
- Setting a vision for the charity and developing a strategy to enable this to be achieved.
- • Documenting a management system to enable the charity to operate in compliance with legal requirements as well as ensuring the safety and welfare of the people it supports and employs.
- Recruiting and training sufficient people so that the charity delivered its objectives and ensured the safety and welfare of those it supports and employs.
- Obtaining the use of suitable venues, facilities and equipment to enable the sports sessions to be undertaken in a safe and secure environment.
- Securing funds to enable the charity’s objectives and activities to be sustained.
- Promoting the charity and its work so as to improve opportunities for the disabled community to take part in sport and exercise on a regular basis.
The trustees defined criteria to be achieved if the sports sessions were to take place and established a “readiness review” process to confirm this was the case. Two trial sessions involving a small number of individuals were held to test the risk control arrangements. The readiness review was conducted on 7[th] May 2021 and the trustees agreed to the sport sessions commencing 13th May 2021. The suitability of the risk controls arrangements has been reviewed by the trustees on a regular basis.
## Vision
The trustees decided that the charity’s name and logo should convey an inclusive culture where everybody could aim to "reach for the stars”. Our vision is that every individual with a disability
- is able to participate in exercise and sporting activities on a regular basis
Page **2** of **15**
- can strive to achieve sporting excellence through competition and
- are supported so that sporting and related social activities are part of a healthy lifestyle choice.
The trustees developed a series of strategic goals and objectives to implement the vision and these are included in appendix 2.
## Management System
The trustees prepared a number of policies and procedures to enable the charity to meet its legal obligations and ensure effective management in line with its objectives. These include preparing job and roles / responsibilities descriptions for all involved and defining the level of financial authority for the officers managing the charity’s activities. Risk assessments and instructions have also been prepared so that our activities are delivered to a consistently high standard and always put the safety and welfare of those we support first.
The documentation prepared and used by the charity is listed in appendix 3; these have been subject to regular review and revision by the trustees.
## Personnel
All the trustees have knowledge and experience of providing support to or working with individuals with a disability. Many are or have been trustees of other charities, whilst others have held senior positions in education, care and central government organisations. In addition to their general duties’ trustees have lead responsibilities on specific topics, such as recruitment of volunteers, fundraising and promotion, so that a consistent approach is adopted.
Volunteers have been recruited through the Blackpool Fylde and Wyre Volunteer Centre and UR Potential (Blackpool). Volunteers have also joined after learning about the charity’s activities from friends and family or through attending the sports sessions.
There are currently 20 registered volunteers who support the sports sessions and have been subject to checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Other volunteers that carry out administrative type roles and do not routinely attend the sports sessions have not been subject to DBS checks. A Welfare Officer has been appointed and attends the weekly multisports sessions.
After initially undertaking work on a voluntary basis the Project Co-ordinator and two individuals undertaking coaching roles have been employed by the charity (0.25 FTE in total). An agency is used to manage the payment of wages, tax and National Insurance contributions.
In order to increase the “pool” of volunteers the trustees contacted a number of local post 16 education establishments. We highlighted the opportunities for their students to gain experience of working with people with disabilities and how this could be incorporated within the curriculum. Both Myerscough College and AKS Lytham have indicated that they would be interested in working with the charity and their representatives are expected to visit our sports sessions in the near future.
## Venues and Equipment
Shortly after being established the trustees had discussions with staff from Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Councils about our plans and explained that when fully operational we aimed for activities to be held in all three local authority areas. However, the trustees recognised that the COVID pandemic meant that no activities could be safely delivered until the restrictions were lifted. As a result of these discussions Blackpool Council confirmed that the charity could have regular use of two sports halls at the Blackpool Sports Centre (BSC) during some weekdays when the centres were able to re-open.
Page **3** of **15**
However, it was unable to offer any of their facilities for use on Saturdays.
YMCA (Fylde Coast), who operate the sports centres for both Fylde and Wyre Councils, indicated that none of their sports hall would be available for use for 3 to 6 months after they were permitted to reopen.
In light of the above the trustees agreed to start activities at BSC as soon as possible after the COVID restrictions were lifted and that the sessions would include a number of sports activities. A contract for the hire of two sports halls at BSC each Thursday until the end of the financial year 2021/22 was put in place with the agreement that these could be used as soon as the COVID restrictions were lifted. Blackpool Council subsequently agreed to provide these facilities free of charge until further notice for which we are extremely grateful.
At this time the trustees contacted the Blackpool Bears club to tell them about our plans. This resulted in all the equipment belonging to the club being given to the charity. After inspection of this equipment, discussion with coaches and undertaking risk assessments, the trustees decided which equipment would be required for the proposed multi-sport sessions. Equipment to support a number of different sports was purchased to support the initial sessions and further equipment has been bought following use and feedback from members.
The trustees subsequently agreed that the donated adapted cycles and trampoline access equipment was not required as these could be better used by other organisations. The adapted cycles were donated to Wheel for All and Wyre Wheels (operated by Blackpool & Wyre councils respectively) whilst Blackpool Tiggers (a local charity supporting trampolining for disabled people) received the trampoline access equipment.
## Funding
In order to make an assessment on the likely funds required a number of operational scenarios were considered by the trustees. The “realistic” scenario indicated that grant funding and / or donations in the region of £15,000 would be required to sustain the charity’s activities for 12 months. The trustees agreed that an application the National Lottery “Awards for All” scheme should be made and that local organisations and businesses should be approached for donations. Within a short time grants and donations in excess of £20,000 were obtained.
A cheque for £21,000 from the Blackpool Bears was subsequently received a few weeks after the initial contact with the club’s representatives. The trustees therefore concluded that the charity had sufficient funding to support the planned activities for at least 12 months and agreed to allocate the Blackpool Bears donation as reserve funds.
The following grants and donations of £100 or more have been received.
£21,000 donation from the former Blackpool Bears Multi-Disability Sports Club. This has been allocated as reserve funds.
£10,000 grant from the National Lottery. This is being used to cover the cost of hiring staff and coaches to run the sessions. until end March 2022
£10,000 donation from the Blackpool, Fylde & Wyre Cerebral Palsy Association. This has enabled specialist equipment to be purchased and is being used to cover venue hire charges at locations other than Blackpool Sports Centre where necessary.
Page **4** of **15**
£700 donation from Glasdon Ltd. This is to be used to subsidise the cost of holding social events.
£500 donation from Howard Robinson. This enabled the charity to be set up prior to other grants being received.
In addition to the above a local charity has undertaken to make a substantial donation to purchase equipment should this be required in the future.
The trustees are currently reviewing the funding requirements for the next 1 to 2 years and will be making appropriate applications / bids in early 2022.
## Promotion of Opportunities
A Communications Plan was approved by the trustees in February 2021 which involved contacting both Blackpool and Lancashire Adult Social Services departments to alert them of our plans. Letters to the major care providers within the area were also sent and posters displayed in health and leisure centres. Follow up contacts were made once the trustees had confidence that the planned activities could safely commence. A web site (www.togetherwecado.org) and Facebook page were established to promote the work of the charity and its planned activities. To encourage participation no charge for the May 2021 sessions were advertised.
The trustees met with Blackpool Council personnel to discuss the design of the proposed Blackpool Enterprise Zone changing facilities and the planned Revue Community Sports Village. The trustees also held a Zoom meeting with Paul Maynard MP and Scott Benton MP to raise our concerns about the proposed scope of the Revoe project. The aim of these discussions was to highlight that both needed to provide the disabled community with an equal opportunity access and use them.
The trustees also had an input to the draft “Active Lives Strategy” document being prepared by Blackpool Council. The published document (ref 2) now includes the disabled community as one of the key target groups where action will be taken to achieve a sustained increase participation in sport/physical activity.
## Delivery of the Sports Sessions
## Safety and Welfare Arrangements
As the COVID restrictions were gradually lifted the government issued advice that indoor organised activities for disabled groups could restart from 12th April 2021. Following discussion with the Blackpool Sports Centre management and review of the centres COVID safety arrangements the trustees agreed to hold two “closed door” test events 29[th] April and 6[th] May 2021. The purpose of these sessions was to test the arrangements for managing the sessions and to confirm that these could be safely implemented. These events involved a small number of individuals who were known to the trustees with a range of disabilities and included a test evacuation from the building.
The trustees conducted a readiness review on 7th May 2021 and concluded
- suitable systems to support the sessions had been established;
- sufficient personnel to control and supervise the session were available and
- the learning points from the test events had been addressed.
The trustees agreed to the sports sessions at BSC commencing on 13th May 2021.
Page **5** of **15**
Individuals attending the first sessions along with their support staff were briefed on the COVID safety precautions to be adopted as well as the safe evacuation route from the building. A laminated card highlighting what was expected of support staff whilst attending the sessions was issued at the initial sessions. A total of 16 participants (8 in morning session + 8 in afternoon session) plus their support staff attended the first sessions.
The next review took place at the end of June where attendance had increased to an average of 23 participants over the two sessions. During the intervening period a number of positive comments about the COVID secure arrangements were received from both the members and their support staff. The trustees concluded that whilst our session arrangements were suitable, there was a need to limit the number of participants to ensure social distancing was maintained. At this point 28 individuals had registered as beneficial members. A maximum of 20 participants per session was set and the trustees agreed to review this limit if attendance continued to increase. The trustees agreed to review the session’s arrangements at the end of September unless the government changed its COVID safety advice.
Whilst the government subsequently relaxed the COVID secure requirements the trustees decided that our arrangements would remain substantially unchanged. Temperature checks prior to entry, regular cleaning of equipment and the frequent use of hand sanitiser remain in place with volunteer and support staff being encouraged to wear face coverings.
## Feedback from Beneficial Members
After running the sessions for a few months it was evident that the participants were enjoying the sessions and that the various activities were suitable for the majority of the participants. However, in order to provide the less able with more opportunities to fully participate, the trustees decided to purchase an arcade type basketball machine and air hockey table.
In June an “easy read” questionnaire was issued to the individuals attending the BSC sessions and posted on the web site. The result of the questionnaire identified that there was a demand for football, bowling and dance activities as well as the activities covered at the current sessions. The trustees decided that football games would not routinely be played as this was available via other organisations. However, some of the sessions would include teaching football skills and 5 a side game would be held if sufficient people want to play. The trustees subsequently initiated work to enable members to take part in 10 pin bowling and dance activities. 10 pin bowling sessions started on Monday 26[th] July at YMCA Thornton and trial dance sessions commenced on 18[th] November 2021.
In September individuals attending the BSC sessions were asked in one-to-one interviews to give their views on
- their top three favourite activities
- if there was an activity they didn’t really enjoy
- how the sessions could be improved
These interviews identified that
- Boccia, Kurling and Skittles were the most popular and competitions involving these activities was enjoyed.
- The social aspect of the sessions was important to all
- Not everyone wanted to take part in competitive activities or the group games.
As a result of the feedback some changes to how the sessions are organised have been made and members given the opportunity to state which activities they don’t want to take part in. Members have been asked individually whether they would like to take part in a Kurling competition and this was arranged for early November. For members who do not want to
Page **6** of **15**
participate in group/team activities a ‘free roam area of activities’ including: Archery, Darts, Bean Bag, Table tennis are available.
## Multi-Sports Activities
The sessions have been held between 10:30 to 12:30hrs and 13:00 to 15:00 hrs each Thursday at Blackpool Sports Centre since 13[th] May 2021. They are led by Sport England qualified coaches with volunteers helping to run the activities and providing encouragement to the participants.
The activities available at each session include
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Archery Basketball Boccia Cornhole (Bean Bags)
Darts Kurling Table Tennis Skittles
**----- End of picture text -----**
Activities generally involve two individuals playing each other with the coach / volunteer keeping score.
In addition a number of group exercises and team games are played.
In recent months the morning session has increased in popularity, but attendance at the afternoon sessions has dropped. In view of this the trustees decided to change the service to one extended session running from 10:00 to 13:00hrs. This took effect in November 2021.
The trustees acknowledged that a number of the former members of the Blackpool Bears club had not joined the charity and that this may be because the sessions are not being held on Saturdays. It was also recognised that some of our members were only able to attend the Thursday sessions during college holidays. Consequently, the trustees have arranged two sessions on Saturday 6[th] November and Saturday 18[th] December to determine the level of
Page **7** of **15**
demand. However, as Blackpool Sports Centre is not available, these trial sessions will be held at Palatine Leisure Centre, Blackpool.
## Ten-pin Bowling
These sessions are held at YMCA Thornton between 13:30 and 15:00 hrs each Monday. Qualified coaches are not used, but volunteers supervise the sessions and issue awards. Treats are available for anyone who makes a strike and individuals who score more than 100 in a game are awarded a bowling badge.
## Social Events
The COVID restrictions meant that there has been limited opportunity to hold social events. However, Halloween themed sessions were held in October and prizes were awarded for the best dressed.

A social walk thought the illuminations finishing with a visit to the Spyglass James Bond bar was held on Tuesday 9[th] November.
The 2021 Christmas Party scheduled for 15[th] December at the Carousel Hotel, Blackpool, but was postponed owing to increased COVID risk from the Omicron variant.
