1.19|Public benefit is at the heart of everything
we do. Our mission is to support and
improve the lives of autistic girls and their
families and the people supporting them.
The charity promotes an affirmative attitude
to neurodiversity and campaigns both to
ensure autistic people get the support they
need and to promote positive identities for
autistic people. This is critical given the
unacceptably low rates of diagnosis,
inadequacies in support mechanisms and| Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 |||poor life outcomes faced by autistic
females.
A major part of our activities consists in
operating a closed Facebook Group and
social media platform. This provides public
benefit in the form of support, information,
signposting to relevant sources of help and
opportunities for community and mutual
support amongst our members.
The charity also serves the public benefit
through developing support materials,
offering training and workshops, speaking
at conferences, organising webinars and
participating in autism research.
The charity offers face to face autistic
groups for girls across the United Kingdom
to help develop invaluable opportunities to
meet up and develop important life skills.
There is a severe lack of such groups and
research has indicated autistic people can
find it easier to build community with their
autistic peers. The charity also
commenced in 2024 Peer Support and
Post-diagnostic Mentoring Support
services.
The charity also benefits autistic people by
involving autistic people in positions of
leadership. Over half the board of trustees
and executives are neurodivergent
themselves and AGN actively seeks to give
opportunities to autistic people to volunteer
for the organisations.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

Each year seems bigger than the last and 2024 is
no exception. There’s so much we’ve started
and expanded upon this year, and our
evaluation has shown us just how much of a
difference our mentoring and groups are
making. Involvement in the PINS (Partnership
for Neurodiversity in Schools) pilot in Autumn
2024 started to show what we already knew –
that education of everyone is needed just as
much as interventions for autistic people so that
stigma can lessen and attitudes can change. It
has been refreshing to be able to get that work
into schools at last, after being available on our
website for two years!
We have big ambitions for 2025 and beyond,
and with our team set to grow to 3 in 2025
anything could happen!
A Word from our Chair
As I reflect upon 2024 and what this has meant
for AGN, I am reminded of the overwhelming
pride I feel to be Chair of Trustees for our
extraordinary charity.
The sheer number of neurodivergent folk who
have been able to access the output of our
team has been incredible, and the work done by
our CEO Cathy, trustees, staff and volunteers is
humbling.
This report shows how impactful AGN is, and
how much we have grown in 4 short years. The
numbers and words are quite phenomenal,
especially when placed in context of our size
and maturity as an organisation.
We have now reached a position where we can
employ salaried team members, and have
recentlyrecruited a fundraisinglead withpost| Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 for volunteer coordinator about to be filled. It’s so exciting to see how these roles will help deliver our strategic vision. 2025 will undoubtedly bring new opportunities for AGN and I am honoured to be part of the future of our charity. With special thanks to our CEO Cathy, our wonderful Trustees and our amazing community. Why are we needed? Autism in girls may present differently and there is widespread misunderstanding about exactly how. This is a huge issue because autistic girls (and those who present in the same way) are often being missed and outcomes for autistic females are particularly poor. Girls in the UK are still being diagnosed autistic up to 6 years later than boys or missed entirely (80% of autistic girls remain undiagnosed at 18: McCrossin, 2022). Late diagnosis and subsequent camouflaging of autistic traits can be very damaging to an autistic person’s mental health, self-confidence and self-esteem. Autistic traits in girls are frequently missed, overlooked, ignored, or their behaviour put down to “just being a girl”. An autistic girl having a meltdown is said to be emotional and hysterical (a word historically only demeaning to women), because that’s how girls are stereotyped to be. An example of this may be an autistic girl who struggles with dirt because of the texture and the idea of it, yet may be praised because historically girls were expected to be clean and tidy, and not messy. This is where societal expectations of women and girls can create barriers to recognising, understanding and supporting autistic girls. Research shows that autistic people are far more likely than the general population to have seriously poor mental health, and autistic young people are also far more likely to be under CAMHS than their peers too. Up to 71% of autistic young people meet criteria for at least one mental health condition. Autistic girls are highly vulnerable and the rate of teenage suicide amongst this group is four times higher than boys of the same age. But depression is Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 NOT part of the diagnostic criteria of autism and it is not inevitable that an autistic person will have poor mental health. The Royal College of Psychiatrists 2024 report Autism and Mental Health sums up the external factors leading to poor wellbeing: “ _Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. In fact, between 3 and 5 in every 100 people who use mental health services are autistic. And about 1 in 10 people who are admitted to psychiatric inpatient wards are autistic. There are a few different reasons for this, including: A lack of appropriate support – Not getting timely or appropriate support and care can lead to poor mental health. Over time this can lead to someone developing a mental illness. Sometimes when autistic people are given support, this isn’t adapted to their needs and doesn’t recognise how mental health and autism work together. This can also mean these treatments aren’t as effective as they should be, and can be counter-productive. An unsuitable environment – Our society and culture is not always designed for autistic people. For some autistic people, navigating this environment can be incredibly difficult, and can also lead to poor mental health. Poor treatment – Autistic people are also more likely to experience bullying or victimisation. This can of course have a negative effect on their self-esteem and sense of identity_ .” All of these factors are ‘fixable’. A 2021 survey reported that 26% of parents waited over three years to receive support for their autistic children. There are a few regional offerings of mentor groups but this is limited, and not reflective of the demand. Many existing schemes cost up to £160 per session and during a cost of living crisis this is out of reach for many families. Time waiting is time that could have been spent coming to terms with a new selfidentity – so important for autistic young people’s mental health. Negative experiences in formative years can have a huge impact on adult lives not only in making girls at risk of suicide as teenagers but as the statistics reveal as adults. We believe a more positive experience of diagnosis and becoming part of an affirmative autistic-lead community is crucial. There is an increased demand for our support, in the last year alone Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 our Facebook community grew to 29,000 members and this is expanding daily. We have built a trusted position in the autistic community and offer a diverse range of support including building awareness, creating safe space and campaigning for earlier diagnosis. What difference are we making? Through our face to face groups our young people make connections in their community – for some it will be the first connections they have made with other autistic young people and this can be life-changing. Being diagnosed autistic as a teen, as many girls are, can cause havoc with self-esteem when you know that you have always been different to your peers. Many girls report feeling as if they were ‘going mad’ and as if they were broken. We will be assuring them they are not broken, but just have a different ‘operating system’ and introducing them to others who experience the world in the same way. Our autistic facilitators will also be building connections, for many it will be the first time of working with other autistic people. Both young people and facilitators may well have felt lonely – research shows loneliness is more widely reported by autistic people than in the general population, just as autistic people are statistically more likely to be bullied and to suffer from depression. Groups will empower young people to make connections outside of the group venue, through regular social events. Through groups we will improve financial capability: as part of our group sessions, we will be teaching some life skills and money management is an important one of those topics. Autistic young people can be vulnerable and so it is particularly important to teach them good financial management, the pitfalls of credit availability and how to spot potential scams. Through our knowledge hub, our webinars and conversations with families, they will be informed and empowered to make small changes to the home environment, particularly around sensory aspects and preparation for change which will benefit everyone. The constant need for girls to mask autism due to concern about stigma has been highlighted frequently in research in recent years as Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 |extremely detrimental to mental health, so it’s|extremely detrimental to mental health, so it’s| |---|---| |important to provide an environment outside|| |the home where young people can feel free to|| |be themselves with their peers.|| |What we did in 2024: the|| |numbers|| ||Trained 10 neurodivergent adults as| ||qualified Autism Peer Support Workers| ||Created paid opportunities for 20| ||qualified and experienced| ||neurodivergent adults to facilitate| ||groups, mentor teens, deliver| ||assemblies and train school staff| ||Ran 377 mentoring sessions for 104| ||teenage autistic young people with| ||neurodivergent mentors| ||94% of our mentees said they felt more| ||positive about being autistic after their| ||mentoring| ||Ran 180 sessions of Face 2 Face groups| ||for 221 autistic young people aged| ||between 9-25| ||96% of our group attendees said they| ||felt happier after sessions| ||Ran 60 sessions of autism peer support| ||groups for 58 autistic adults| ||92% of group attendees said they| ||understood themselves better after| ||sessions| ||Ran 22 free webinars from Cathy &| ||guests with over 11000 signups| ||Delivered 14 Difference Not Deficit| ||assemblies in primary schools to| ||promote Whole School Neurodiversity| ||Understanding| ||Delivered training sessions in 28 schools| ||to 480 staff| ||Welcomed 9,457 new members to our| ||Facebook group| ||Supported 6,462 requests for help and| ||advice in our Facebook group| ||Reached 2,939,837 social media| ||accounts with our content| ## What we did in 2024: the words ## Our Facebook Support Group In 2024 we reviewed 11905 membership requests for the Facebook group and declined Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 2443, welcoming 9457 new members, bringing the total to 29,100 people.

Parent Workshops We ran 10 workshops for parents in 2024 and we will be creating more workshops, trainings and resources for parents in 2024. Cathy’s book Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person sold over 10,000 copies and 50% of royalties were donated to AGN in the first half of 2024. Fundraising We ran our Million Steps Challenge again in 2024, along with obtaining charity places in various half marathons and 10K races, all of which contributed to our fundraising pot as well as the runners’ fantastic achievements! (Picture of LLHM 2024). There will be even more challenges and races available in 2025 – great to get your work colleagues involved. Merchandise We started to sell our own lines of t-shirts, hoodies, mugs and bags in 2024, all of which raise money for our work. Here’s our latest design – Weird Snail! Media In March we appeared on Channel 4 News as part of a special report into the very long autism assessment waiting lists, and they filmed at our Stratford upon Avon 9-12s group – the young people were all amazingly articulate and not at all phased by a large camera filming their every word! You can watch the report here: - https://www.channel4.com/news/autism assessments-quarter-of-families-wait-at-leastfour-years-survey-shows Our CEO Cathy also chatted with Naga Munchetty on Radio 5 Live in March to talk about the mental health crisis in schools for autistic young people. Volunteers Over 300 people completed our online volunteer registration form but with only Cathy Doc ID: a05e2c2347e8294cb168a3cb5f7ae41efa32b835 running the charity for almost the whole of 2024 there was no capacity to onboard, train and organise them. That will change in 2025 as we have have two year funding from The Fore to employ a part-time Volunteer Coordinator and we hope this will be transformational! If you have asked to volunteer for us, expect to hear from us fairly soon. Our Team In December 2024 we welcomed our new part time Fundraising Lead Charlie Hamilton so we are currently a team of 2 ready to expand in 2025! ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|This was a year of significant growth for the
charity.
The charity achieved income of £216,773 in
the year, representing 173% growth on
prior year. Growth was across all income
streams with significant growth in grant
income as well as unrestricted donations
and training income in particular.
Expenditure for the year was £133,355
more than three times prior year levels.
Key areas of additional spend relate to
expansion of our Girls groups, introduction
of new services such as Peer Support and
Post-Diagnostic Mentoring Support and
investment in our first paid positions to
build the infrastructure and capacity to
support the service growth.
The charity made a surplus of income over
expenditure of £83,418 for the year. Total
funds were £152,071 as at 31 December
2024 (2023: £68,653), predominantly in the
form of cash. The Charity is in a strong
early growth phase and the surplus
represents grant income due to be spent on
2025 project and build-up of funds to
support higher operational costs expected
in 2025 and expected introduction of new
products. During 2024 the CEO was only
paid on a part time basis and our
Fundraising Lead taken on in December
2024 – 2025 is expected to include a full
year of costs and the CEO has moved to a
fully paid basis.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the

Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._ |**Recognition of income**
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift
and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or
the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.|Yes

**Intangible fixed assets**
**Heritage assets**
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
**Stocks and work in**
**progress**
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
They are valued at cost.
**Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
**2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
**Tangible fixed assets for**
**use by charity**
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
**Governance and support**
**costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
They are valued at cost.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
£1,000
**Redundancy cost**
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
**Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
**Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
**Provisions for liabilities**

measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act - have not been met; or - 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
