TOGETHER WE CAN DO Registered Charity No. 1192282 2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Together We Can Do continues to make a significant and lasting difference to the lives of disabled adults across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre. Since beginning activities in 2021, the charity has now supported 315 individuals to take part in sport and physical exercise, with 173 members actively attending sessions this year. Attendance across all sports and social activities has grown strongly, reaching 8,323 visits, an increase of around nine percent compared to last year.

Over the past year, the charity has expanded the range and frequency of its activities. Eight weekly sports sessions now run across multiple venues, with additional social evenings held regularly. The charity also successfully delivered the Fylde Coast Pan-Disability Games in September, involving 160 participants from multiple organisations. The event featured seven different sports and attracted families, carers and representatives from local councils.

The charity’s impact has been recognised widely. In 2025, it won the “ Making a Difference to Adults” award and received commendations in the Inclusivity & Diversity category at the Wyre Community Awards. It was also a finalist in the Blackpool “Club of the Year” awards, and sports coach Michael Thwaites received a highly commended award for Coach of the Year.

Operationally, TWCD continues to rely on a small but dedicated staff team supported by 13 active volunteers . Several staff and volunteers have undertaken additional training and gained qualifications over the year, including first aid, safeguarding and sports coaching awards. The charity has also strengthened its management systems, updating risk assessments, improving safeguarding arrangements, and issuing revised staff and volunteer handbooks.

Financially, the charity remains stable. Significant grants and donations were received, including continued support from the National Lottery, local organisations, and community groups. These funds allow the charity to maintain its current programme and support individuals who cannot afford fees. However, as membership grows and the charity seeks to expand its services, additional fundraising will still be required in the coming years.

Across the Fylde Coast, TWCD continues to develop strong partnerships with councils, sports organisations, and community groups to increase awareness and opportunities for disabled adults. Promoting inclusivity, removing barriers, and improving physical and mental wellbeing remain central priorities.

The heart of the report focuses on the transformative impact on members. Many individuals who were previously isolated or inactive are now thriving socially and physically. Stories from members, carers and support workers highlight increased confidence, new friendships, and improved wellbeing. The welcoming, friendly environment created by staff and volunteers continues to be a key factor in the charity’s success.

Looking ahead to 2026, the charity aims to increase volunteer numbers, broaden competitive sporting opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and further enhance feedback systems. With continued community support and the dedication of its staff, volunteers and trustees, Together We Can Do remains committed to helping every member lead a healthier, more active, and more connected life.

THE CHARITY’S OBJECTIVES

Together We Can Do obtained registration with the Charity Commission on 11[th] November 2020. The charity objectives stated in the Governing document are:

  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 inhabitants.

  1. 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 the charity’s purposes. Membership consists of beneficial and non-beneficial members. Beneficial members are individuals with a recognized disability who take part in the sporting and social activities. Whilst anyone with a disability can benefit from the charity, individuals living in the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre areas are given priority.

The membership from 1[st] November 2021 to 2025 is shown in the table below.

GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

OUR VISION

Our vision is that every individual with a disability.

The following individuals have undertaken the role of trustee during the past year.

Carina Gribbon, Mark Hughes, Joanne Quinnell, Jenny Morris, Howard Robinson and Rosemary Sycamore

Collectively the trustees have a wide range of knowledge, skills and professional expertise which enabled the charity to expand its operations. Trustees meet on a regular basis; six full meetings of the trustees have been held since the last AGM. In addition, meetings to discuss specific topics involving some trustees and the Project Manager were held prior to the matters being presented to the trustees for agreement / approval. This approach was adopted to ensure that the subject was given the necessary degree of scrutiny prior to it being agreed by the trustees. For example, review of the charity’s document and records management policy and procedures took over 4 hours whilst it took nearly a full day to review the organizational risk assessment and agreed associated actions.

The 2025 Development Plan, which is based upon ten priority objectives, was agreed by the trustees. The key priorities and their status at the end of October 2025 are shown in the table below.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The trustees have a range of policies and procedures to enable the charity to both meet its legal obligations and ensure effective management of its activities. These documents have been reviewed and revised to address issues arising as well as addressing the increased scope of the charity’s activities. Our safeguarding arrangements have been updated again to reflect the good practices recommended by various sports organizations as well as the local authority

Page 6

social services. We have a qualified Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO) attending each of the sports and social sessions as well as two individuals who can undertake the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) role. .

The Employee’s Handbook has been updated, and a training event was held to brief staff on its requirements. A Volunteers Handbook was issued to existing volunteers and is being updated to reflect comments received.

The approach to documenting risk assessments and instructions was revised during the past year. Risk assessments for each of the venues used for the activities have been updated and the “Venue File” containing key information is available at each location. Risk assessments for each of the sports activities undertaken have been revised. A set of generic controls for every activity are now in place with further controls being specified when the activity presents additional hazards and risks. These additional controls are documented within the Activity Plan prepared for each of the specific sports / activities. The Activity Plans also identify what adaptations / modifications need to be made to enable individuals with specific disabilities to take part. For example, the number of participants in a netball game is reduced if a wheelchair user on the court, or a high viz ball with sounder may be used if the individual has visual impairment. The participants along with the sports volunteers are briefed by the coach on the requirements of the Activity Plan prior to the game / activity starting. The emphasis is to ensure that the activities are delivered to a consistently high standard and always putting the safety and welfare of those we support first.

PERSONNEL

All the trustees have knowledge and experience of providing support for, or working with, individuals with a disability. Some have been trustees of other charities, whilst others have held senior positions in education, care and central government organizations. In addition to their general duties, each trustee leads on specific topics, such as training of staff, recruitment of volunteers and legal compliance, so that a consistent approach is adopted.

The charity employs staff to undertake the following roles.

The charity now has two Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) as well as several Designated Safeguarding Officers (DSO). A DSO is present at our sports and social sessions.

Rawcliffe’s & Co now manage the payment of wages, tax and National Insurance contributions as well as providing the end-of-year accounts for the charity.

Page 7

There are currently 13 registered volunteers who support the sports sessions and have been subject to checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Most of the current volunteers have joined after learning about the charity’s activities from friends and family or through attending the sports and social sessions. During the past year the number of registered volunteers has remained stable; the recruitment and training of volunteers will be a priority task during the next year.

Staff and volunteers undertook training and obtained qualifications during the past 12 months. This included.

1 x FA Coaching - Level 1: Football

5 x Safeguarding Adults – Level 2

GRANTS & DONATIONS

During the past year significant funding has been received which has enabled the charity to increase the sports and social activities offered.

Unrestricted Grants

An award of a £324,000 grant from the National Lottery was announced in August 2024. These funds are to be paid over a 5-year period subject to the charity delivering the activities detailed in the bid. The second and third payments totaling £53,150 were received in this financial year and are being used to cover staff costs.

A donation of £9500 was received from Blackpool Fylde & Wyre Cerebral Palsy Association during the year. This has been used to pay some of the additional staff costs

– Restricted Grants / Donation Pan Disability Games

Wyre Council made a grant of £1000, which was received in this financial year, to support the 2024 Pan Disability games. This was used to pay for the hire of the sports facilities from Blackpool Council.

Windmill Day Nursey (£300) and The Wyre Masonic Lodge (£250) made donation which was used to pay for the medals and trophies issued at 2025 Pan Disability games.

HKR Housing Ltd donated £1000 which was used to support the general costs of hosting and running the 2025 Pan Disability games.

Page 8

Restricted Grants / Donations – Social and Welfare Activities

The Grail Society provided £2500 for the support of individuals who cannot afford to pay membership and fees to take part in the charity’s sports and social activities. These funds are used in accordance with the charity’s Hardship Policy.

The Glasdon Group donated £500 towards the costs of running the Christmas Party.

Restricted Grants / Donations – Football Actvities

Donations totaling £728 were received from several sources including Chippendale Timbers and South Shore Tennis Club. Some of the funds have been used to purchase football kit and equipment; the remaining funds will be used to support the football activities over the next year.

As identified above the grant from the National Lottery will substantially cover current staff costs for the next 3.5 years based on our existing program of activities. However, the grant was made on the basis that the number of beneficial members would increase and that a wider range of activities would be undertaken. Consequently, additional fundraising will still be required and requirements over the next 1 to 3 years have been reviewed. The trustees are looking into obtaining funding to deliver services from organizations such as the local NHS and Social Services.

A grant of £1500 was made to the Blackpool & Wyre Bowling Academy. This grant is being used to improve accessibility to club’s bowling green via specialist wheelchair.

VENUES FOR SPORTS & SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The trustees have had regular communications with staff from Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Councils about our activities.

The charity has a hire contract for weekly use of two sports halls at the Blackpool Sports Centre (BSC) each Thursday. Blackpool Council has agreed that these facilities will be provided free of charge, for which we are very grateful. In addition, the charity has recently added a second contract for the weekly use of three Boccia courts at the Blackpool Sports Centre (BSC) each Tuesday up to the end of 2025. These courts are hired at a discounted rate.

The charity has four contracts with YMCA (Fylde Coast) for the hire of facilities at St Annes and Thornton-Cleveleys. These cover the weekly use of a sports hall at Thornton (Mondays) and St Annes (Saturday) and the hire of external 5-a-side pitch and the 10-pin bowling alley (Monday). It is understood that a new operator for the facilities owned by Wyre Council which includes the Thornton-Cleveleys Sports Centre, will be in place from April 2026. The impact of this change is unknown and no meeting with the new operator has yet been held.

Page 9

The charity uses the function room at the Norbreck Bowling and Tennis club to hold regular social evenings. The trustees are thankful that the club has allowed the charity free use of their facilities.

PROMOTION OF OPPORTUNITIES

The charity’s trustees and staff have held several meetings with staff from the three local authorities to promote the work of the charity and to challenge the existing arrangements for individuals with a disability to undertake regular physical exercise within their area.

We are represented on the Wyre Moving More health and wellbeing subcommittee and meet every quarter to promote and shape the sport offered to residents of Wyre.

We have partnered with Connectiverse, a local platform and publication, who focus on mental health, well-being, neurodiversity and accessibility. We have made contributions to their publications and encourage our members and carers to share their own experiences with the wider community.

We have participated in several events across the area, showcasing the opportunities we provide which included Blackpool Active into Autumn and Myerscough College Progression Events.

To provide opportunities for competitive sport activities that are suitable for the disabled community, the trustees organized the second Fylde Coast Pan-Disability Games (see below). The charity has also affiliated with the Football Association (FA) and become a member of Boccia England (BE).

The charity is working with other organizations representing disability groups to highlight to Blackpool Council the lack of opportunities and barriers faced by our members living in the area. Similar conversations have been held with Fylde and Wyre Councils as well as YMCA Fylde Coast . It is hoped that these organizations will work with the charity to support the delivery and expansion of our activities in the future.

RECOGNITION OF THE CHARITY’S WORK

The impact of the work of the charity has been recognized by our local community. The charity won the “Making a Difference to Adults” award and were highly commended in the “Inclusivity & Diversity” category of the 2025 Wyre Community Awards. The charity was finalist in the “Club of the Year” category of the 2025 Blackpool awards.

We were proud that the work on one of our coaches, Michael Thwaites, was recognized by Blackpool Council by his highly commended award in the Coach of the Year” category.

DELIVERY OF THE SPORTS & SOCIAL SESSIONS

Participation in the sports sessions has grown steadily again in the past year. Eight sports sessions each week are now being run at three locations within the area.

The trustees have attempted to respond to the feedback from the members with additional sessions being run on a trial basis to confirm demand before being made permanent. Boccia specific sessions commenced in September 2025 and will run until the end of the year before a decision on whether to make them permanent is made.

Football teams played “friendlies” with Blackpool and Sir Tom Finney Community Trust teams in the past year. In addition, one team took part in the Lancashire Disability League football tournaments during the latter part of the 2024/5 season.

To make the sports sessions fun, themes such as “Halloween”, World Book Day” and “VE Day”. This involved members, support workers and the charity’s staff / volunteers dressing in accordance with the theme and prizes being awarded for the best outfits.

In addition, events to recognise Mental Health awareness and World Downs Syndrome Day were held.

The graph below shows the participation levels at the various sessions over the past year; 8323 attendances of beneficial members have been recorded. This represents approximately 9% increase in attendances (7622) from the previous year.

BLACKPOOL SPORTS CENTRE ACTIVITIES

Weekly “multi sports” sessions take place each Thursday between 10 am and 2pm. These have been held on 45 occasions in the past year; the average attendance being 54 members with a total of 2419 attendance. The multi-sport sessions are led by qualified coaches with volunteers helping to run the activities. Various group exercises, dance and team games are played in one of the sports halls whilst the other sports hall is set up to allow a range of less energetic games to take place. eg Archery, Boccia, Curling, Darts, Pool, Skittles etc. Sixty members regularly attend and these weekly sessions are nearing capacity.

Volunteers from the Blackpool & Wyre Bowling Academy now provide bowling tuition between 12:30 and 2pm during these sessions.

Over the past year, several guest coaches have joined our sessions, offering specialized training in their respective sports. This included coaching in baseball, pickle-ball, short tennis and cricket sessions. We also had a “table cricket” session where table tennis tables were adopted to enable the games to be played by members with a wide range of abilities.

Football sessions are held each Thursday between 9:30 and 10:30 and then between 2 and 3 pm. The first session is for those members who want to play competitive matches within a league structure whilst the later session is for individuals who want to improve their skills and play football for fun.

The regular Thursday sessions in February included lunch time talks on healthy eating as well as a healthy lunchbox challenge as part of “Feel Good February". In addition, we hosted several themed fancy dress sessions, such as Halloween and Christmas Jumper Day.

In September Boccia only sessions commenced on Tuesday (1:30 to 3:30pm) as the Blackpool Boccia club were unable to support them. The trustees agreed to run these sessions until the end of the year before a decision on whether to make them permanent is made.

YMCA ST ANNES ACTIVITIES

Weekly “multi sports” sessions, like those run at Blackpool Sports Centre, take place each Saturday morning between 10:30 and 12:30hrs. These have been held on 42 occasions in the past year compared to 34 the previous year. The average attendance is a little over 16 members with a total of 697 attendances over the year and increase of nearly 40% from the previous year.

It is worth noting that attendances are still insufficient to fully cover the cost of running these sessions. However, the impact on the charity’s finances has been reduced through funds raised by families with individuals who attend these sessions. The trustees would like to continue to provide these sessions as they provide opportunities for less able members to participate as well as being convenient for members living the St Annes / Lytham area. The

Page 12

trustees have had discussions with both Fylde Council and the YMCA Fylde Coast about the costs of these sessions and are now looking at alternative ways of funding them.

Tracey Mitchell from the Fairhaven Bowling Academy provides bowling tuition at some of these sessions. Members of the Blackpool & Wyre Bowling Academy also support these sessions.

YMCA THORNTON ACTIVITIES

Weekly football sessions are held between 10:30 and 11:30hrs each Monday. These sessions are generally for members who want to play competitive football.

Netball sessions take place between 12:00 and 13:00hrs each Monday. In the past year these have been held on 40 occasions with an average of 16 players and a total of 662 attendances. The reduced total attendance was due to the sports hall being unavailable for several weeks whilst the floor was being repaired.

Weekly 10 pin bowling takes place each Monday in two sessions, 12:15 to 13:30hrs and 13:45 to 15:00hrs. These have been held on 47 occasions in the past year with an average of 54 players and a total of 2522 attendances, an increase of around 12%.

Six member teams took part in several bowling competitions last year; the teams combined scored determined the team’s position in the league. This competition is popular and continue in 2026.

SOCIAL EVENTS

Social evenings at the Norbreck Tennis and Bowling club are held alternative Wednesdays between 6:30 and 9 pm. These have involved karaoke, sing-a-longs to popular musicals as well as bingo, card games and quizzes. There has been a total of 708 attendances by members in addition to their support staff at these social sessions.

In late autumn members enjoyed a walk through the Illuminations and a visit to “Christmas by the Sea”.

Two Christmas Parties were held at The Carousel Hotel, Blackpool on 18[th] December 2025. In addition to Father Christmas and The Gringe, a total of 183 individuals attended the parties. The beneficial members plus their support staff as well as trustees, volunteers and staff.

Page 13

FYLDE COAST PAN DISABILITY GAMES

The charity organized and ran the second Fylde Coast Pan-Disability Games on 11[th] September 2025. The event took place at Blackpool Sports Centre and involved nearly 160 disabled adults taking. In total seven different sports were played which included baseball, boccia, indoor bowls, cricket, football and netball. In addition to the “just for fun” activities there was a FA regulated football competition and a Boccia England regulated boccia competition. Teams from Bury and Rochdale as well as Fylde based organizations took part. Each participant received a medal, and trophies were presented to the team competition winners.

The event was opened by the Major of Blackpool and was watched by families and support workers as well as staff from Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre councils. Overall, the feedback from the participants, support staff and spectators were very positive and plans are being made to run the event again in 2026.

MAKING AN IMPACT

Feedback from our members has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the supportive and welcoming environment we strive to create. Tools to enable routine feedback from members have been established and a detailed survey of members was completed in August 2025. Results from the routine and special survey are discussed by the trustees and where appropriate actions are initiated to address concerns or suggestions for improvement. A schedule of Members & Carers Forum meetings is included in 2026 monitoring plan.

The activities provided by the charity have made a significant improvement to the lives of several individuals. For example, Alan, who lives at home with his elderly mother rarely left the house until his sister brought him to one of the football sessions. As Alan enjoyed the football session he decided to attend football the following week. He now attends the weekly ten pin bowling sessions at Thornton, and the Multisport sessions at Blackpool in addition to regular football sessions.

The friendly inclusive atmosphere at the sessions has encouraged several social workers and NHS Learning Disability nurses to bring individuals to our activities. Some of the individuals now attend our sessions without support whilst others have formed relationships that have enabled them to attend with the support of others.

The charity’s work also impacts on our staff and volunteers. Many have commented on how they enjoy supporting the members and leaving the sports and social sessions with a smile.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Together We Can Do

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Together We Can Do for the year ended 31 October 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of Together We Can Do you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Together We Can Do's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Together We Can Do as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and 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.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Together We Can Do meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 (continued)

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Furniture, fittings, tools and equipment 20% reducing balance
Computer equipment 30% reducing balance

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 (continued)

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Together We Can Do

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Together We Can Do for the year ended 31 October 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of Together We Can Do you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Together We Can Do's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Together We Can Do as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and 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.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Together We Can Do meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 (continued)

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Furniture, fittings, tools and equipment 20% reducing balance
Computer equipment 30% reducing balance

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Together We Can Do

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025 (continued)

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
