## **Annual Report for Chattertots** (Registered Charity 1198362) ## _Jan 1 to December 31, 2024_ _“Helping people with Down Syndrome find their voice.”_ 1 **----- Start of picture text -----**
Introduction
The potential of children with Down Syndrome
has never been greater. With the right support
from the earliest years, these remarkable young
people are thriving in mainstream schools
across Berkshire, forming lasting friendships,
developing independence, and building
foundations for fulfilling careers. What once
seemed impossible is now happening in
communities from Windsor to Wokingham,
from Reading to Bracknell.
This transformation does not happen by chance.
It requires specialist early intervention, targeted
**----- End of picture text -----**
This transformation does not happen by chance. It requires specialist early intervention, targeted speech and language support, and families who understand how to nurture their child's unique strengths. When children with Down Syndrome receive this support as part of early intervention, they can achieve outcomes that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago. Chattertots exists to make this possible for every child with Down Syndrome in Berkshire. We provide the specialist early intervention services that help children develop strong communication skills, access mainstream education, and reach their full potential. 2024 marked a significant year of growth and development for our charity. We expanded our services to meet growing demand, strengthened our governance, and took important steps towards greater sustainability. Most importantly, we continued to support families across our region helping children develop the communication skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Whilst local authorities are expected to provide essential support services such as speech and language therapy, the reality is that provision often falls short. Some children receive no specialist therapy at all, and many schools lack staff with experience in the specific learning profile of children with Down Syndrome. The learning needs of children with Down Syndrome are now well understood. They require targeted interventions starting from the earliest years, delivered by specialists who understand their unique strengths and challenges. With this support, children can develop effective communication through multiple methods - speech, signing (Makaton), and visual aids - setting them up for success in education and beyond. Chattertots fills this crucial gap in provision across Berkshire. Since our founding in 2015 and formal registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2022, we have grown 2 from supporting three families to thirty-five. Each family represents a child whose communication skills, confidence, and life opportunities have been transformed through early intervention and ongoing support. This report reflects on our achievements in 2024, a year that saw us expand our services, strengthen our organisation, and deepen our impact across the communities we serve ## **Governance** Chattertots is governed by a board of trustees, all of whom are parents of children with Down Syndrome. This personal connection ensures our work remains focused on genuine needs and practical solutions. Our trustees bring diverse skills while sharing a common understanding of the challenges faced by families. In 2024, we experienced some changes to our trustee board: **David Jones — Trustee.** David joined our board in 2024, taking on responsibility for legal and regulatory compliance, strengthening our governance framework. **Magdalene ER B L — Trustee.** Magdalene also joined in 2024, focusing on parent communications and, alongside her husband Jonathan, providing oversight of our popular summer school programme. **Leiah Norcott — Trustee.** After a decade of dedicated service, including eight years as Treasurer, Leiah has expressed her intention to step down in 2025. Her contribution to Chattertots has been invaluable, particularly during our formative years. **Clare McIntosh – Former Trustee** . A significant change occurred when Clare McIntosh, who led the charity since 2015, stepped down as Chair and Trustee to take on the role of parttime CEO, providing dedicated leadership and administration that had previously been handled entirely by volunteers. **Mark Murphy — Treasurer.** Mark continues to bring his financial expertise and business acumen to ensure sound financial management. **Victoria Kirby — Trustee.** Victoria maintains her valuable role, drawing on her experience in training and extensive knowledge of safeguarding from her background in the Guiding movement. The board of trustees continues to meet quarterly to review progress and make strategic decisions, ensuring we remain responsive to the needs of our Berkshire families. 3 ## **Activities and Developments** During 2024, we expanded and refined our service offerings: **Pre-School Speech and Language Therapy:** Our cornerstone service relocated from Windsor to Woodley Baptist Church following a careful review of the locations where our families live to determine where they could be best served. This central venue has improved accessibility for families from Reading, Wokingham and surrounding areas, with positive feedback from parents. **Play Sessions for Very Young Families:** We ran a trial of a new initiative at Our House, the venue of Building for the Future in Wokingham. Working with Jemma Keens of Together One Step at a Time, we delivered sessions specifically designed to encourage speech and motor skills in our youngest members. These well-attended events received enthusiastic feedback and represent an important extension of our early intervention approach. **School-Aged Speech and Language Therapy:** After years of feedback from parents about the gap in SALT provision when children start school, we developed a pilot programme of bi-weekly sessions based in Woodley. Working with local specialists Functionability, we received approximately 16 enquiries to participate in this much-needed service scheduled to begin in early 2025. **Primary School Consultancy and SEN Support:** Following the departure of our long-standing consultant Hazel England to Oxfordshire, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of alternative providers. We selected Inclusively Down to continue the effort of SEN support meeting the individual learning needs of our young people with Down syndrome in both mainstream and SEN schools. While this service is more costly, necessitating a reduction from half-termly to annual visits, it continues to provide essential specialist input for schools across Berkshire. **School Boxes:** We secured funding for two "Go to School" boxes for children starting school in 2024. These valuable resources were updated based on the latest feedback to ensure they contain the most effective tools for supporting children in mainstream settings. 4 **Summer Camp:** Our popular week-long summer camp continued to provide intensive speech therapy alongside crucial opportunities for social connection among children who are often the only pupil with Down Syndrome in their school. **Reports and Expertise:** We maintained our commitment to part-funding specialist reports for families navigating the EHCP process with their local authorities across Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. **Social Activities:** We continued to facilitate connections between families at venues such as Camp Mohawk and Thames Valley Adventure Playground. ## **Organisational Development** In early 2024, our trustees identified several operational challenges: - A steady decline in fundraising across all channels - Suboptimal welcoming processes for new parents - Need for a consistent point of contact with external providers - Outdated policies requiring review - Limited capacity to progress administrative tasks such as Gift Aid claims In response, we created a dedicated CEO position to provide focused leadership and administration. Clare McIntosh resigned as Chair and Trustee to take on this role on a parttime basis (one day per week), initially as a trial over summer 2024. The trustees have been delighted with the progress made and continue to monitor whether this allocation is sufficient for our needs. This strategic decision acknowledges that while similar charities typically employ CEOs for 3- 5 days per week, our current financial position necessitated a more modest arrangement while still providing the professional oversight required. In December 2024, the trustees approved updated Safeguarding, Health and Safety, and Equity and Diversity policies, strengthening our governance framework. 5 ## **Income** In 2024, our income fell from £42,000 to £27,000. The biggest reductions were in grants and donations. This reflects the challenges in the charity sector, and the fact that we had no staff at that time corralling activity. Our income can be seen in the pie chart below. - We would like to express our extreme gratitude to the Harmony Belles of Marlow and the Fifield Family Fun Day team who together generated approximately £5,000 in combined income - We are also greatly indebted to the National Lottery for funding our summer camp and to Hall and Woodhouse, SPLG Limited, West Berkshire Crematoria Management, Binfield Parish Council and the Earley Charity for their generous donations. The positive steps we are taking for future financial sustainability include: - Completion of Gift Aid registration to maximise donation income - Submission of several substantial grant applications by year-end, with decisions expected in early 2025 - Review of our membership and contribution structure to ensure fairness and sustainability 6 ## **Expenditure** Our total expenditure remained broadly similar to previous years. The cost of the SEN support package increased as we changed provider due to our existing provider no longer being available. ## **Overall Financial Performance** We are delighted to see much stronger financial performance in 2023 which gives us reassurance about the sustainability of the charity. We opened the year with £18,468 in reserves and ended with £28,235. This aligns with our reserves policy of maintaining £26,000 reserves which covers 6 months of operating costs. ## **Priorities** Looking back at our 2023 priorities, we are pleased to have made progress in all areas: - We strengthened our governance through policy reviews - We expanded our service offerings through the school-aged SALT pilot 7 - We maintained sustainable fundraising despite a challenging environment - We improved our relationships with parents through more structured communication Our priorities for 2025 are: - Run outreach activities across Berkshire to ensure all eligible families are aware of our services - Successfully implement and evaluate our school-aged speech and language therapy programme - Enhance the school consultancy service despite reduced visit frequency - Review our membership structure and contribution rates to ensure they remain fair and sustainable - Strengthen our fundraising approaches to build financial resilience ## **Conclusion** Despite the challenges of 2024, Chattertots has made significant progress in developing a more sustainable and professional organisation while maintaining our warm, family-centred approach. Our transition to having dedicated leadership, expanded service offerings, and strengthened governance positions us well to continue supporting children with Down Syndrome across Berkshire. We remain deeply grateful to all our supporters, volunteers, and the local communities of Windsor, Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell and beyond for their continued belief in our work. With their help, we will continue to give children with Down Syndrome the voice they deserve. 8 **Charity Name Chattertots** **No (if any) 1198362** **CC16a** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** |**For the period**
