## **Charity Overview** 


CASPA is a registered CIO based in Bromley, South East London. We were founded in 2002 (registered charity number 1110260) as Children on the Autistic Spectrum Children’s Association (CASPA) by parents who wanted more for their autistic children. As of 31 August 2025, all assets, liabilities and operations were transferred from the old charity to the CIO, therefore this report included activities from both the old charitable trust and the new CIO. 

Today, CASPA offers inclusive, person-centred support to over 500 autistic individuals and their families each year. Our charity’s team includes experienced staff and committed volunteers, many of whom have lived experience of autism. 

We offer a varied programme of support, delivered across multiple community venues in the London Borough of Bromley. Our activities are designed to promote inclusion, reduce isolation, and help autistic individuals of all ages develop the confidence and life skills they need to thrive. 

We run over 10 weekly clubs tailored to age groups ranging from toddlers to adults. We provide safe, and welcoming spaces for social interaction, creativity, skills building and personal development. Many members stay with us for years, moving through clubs as their needs and confidence grow. While we offer long-term continuity, our focus remains on encouraging independence, developing peer connections, celebrating progress, and maintaining a strong sense of community for members and parents. 

We recognise the pressures that families of autistic individuals face, particularly where needs are high and statutory support is limited. Our parent, carer and sibling support services help reduce stress, build peer support networks, and equip families with tools and strategies to better advocate for their loved ones. 

Our programmes are led by staff and volunteers who understand autism and create environments where individuals are not expected to mask, conform, or “fit in”. 

Instead, we meet people where they are. We celebrate individuality, respond to communication preferences, and encourage individuals to participate on their own terms.

## **Message from our CEO and Co-Chairs** 





**CEO - Sarah Towler** 

**Trustee - Andrew Stammers** 

**Trustee - Sharon Harrison** 

As we look back on the past 17 months at CASPA, we feel a sense of pride, gratitude, and hope. It has been another incredibly busy and meaningful year for our charity. 

We expanded our services, strengthened our organisational foundations, and taken big strategic steps forward. It has been a year of growth in services, in staff development, and in ambition. 

Highlights over the past 17 months include: 

Transitioning to operating as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) 

- Implementing our Theory of Change and launching our new 2024–2027 Strategy, with a strong focus on Autistic Voice and lived experience 

- Opening our 30+ club, Infinity, providing new opportunities for adult members 

- Strengthening Governance selection processes and selecting new Trustees with the skills and experience needed to help us build organisational resilience 

- Creating meaningful connections and peer support opportunities through our first Family Residential 

- Working with Bromley Council on the Autistic Voice Project to put lived experience and advocacy at the heart of local resource planning and delivery 

- Delivering autism awareness training to local businesses through the The Bromley Autism Promise Project 

Running an adult Travel Training Project, supporting independence and life skills

## **Message from our CEO and Co-chairs** 


We also focused on expanding our services and planned the opening of two new under 16s clubs in September 2025. This project highlighted many challenges for our CASPA team. This included finding additional funding, locating safe and affordable venues, recruiting, training high-quality staff and integrating new members and families. 

Overcoming these challenges gave our staff team a sense of pride and demonstrated staff collaboration, mutual support to solve problems, and commitment to moving CASPA forward. 

Our consolidation over the last  17 months puts us in a strong position to continue developing our services, with more autistic individuals and their families benefiting from the safe, supportive spaces CASPA provides. 

The need for our services increases daily. More individuals and families are reaching out for social opportunities, and specialist support. This growing demand highlights the challenges they face and the vital role CASPA plays in meeting those needs. 

CASPA would not be possible without our staff, volunteers and supporters. Their generosity, dedication, and kindness are at the core of everything we achieve. 

I would also like to extend my thanks to everyone who has supported CASPA through our events, fundraising and donations this year. 

We thank the funders detailed in the report that have supported CASPA during this period.   We must also thank the organisations and groups that go above and beyond in their fundraising, which for this period includes O2e, Chislehurst Golf Club, LSP Renewables, Fourdaysrunning, which have all raised over £10,000 for CASPA in the period. 

Although the need for our services continues to grow, so does our ambition, our passion, and our commitment to being a lifeline, a place of joy and belonging for autistic individuals and their families.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Trustees of Children on the Autistic Sp￿trurn Parenf s Association ICASPAI, charitable trust number 1110260,
created CASPA, CIO number 1200786 on 21 octo1￿r 2￿2 and bocame the Trustees for both entities. The
trustees transferr￿ as￿ts, liabilib'es and operations from the charitable trust to the CIO as d 31 August 2024 thich
did not change the charitable objectwes, teneficiaries or services of the organisakn"on. In accordance wth FRS102,
this transacb'on was treated as a merger, and as such. these accounts include financial information from both the
charitable trust and the CIO for the seventeen months from 1 April 2024 through 31 August 2025.
During the period, senior leaders undertwk a rigorous recruf(ment of additional Trustees to strengthen our Board
and bfytter SUPFQrt CASPA'S strategic gr￿h. We ¢ommunicated this change in structure wth all stakehO￿er$,
including members and their families, suppliers and funders making all the adminislratwe changes that ￿re
required lo operate as the new CIO. Unfortunately, this has negatively impacted our ability lo access Trust &
Foundation grants due to the extended repcrting period pushing our incorrE over £1,0(JJ,OCO (over a 17-month
reporting per￿)dI.
Financial review
CASPA has maintained ts financial pc6f(ion over the peritsy beginnirvJ carefvl financial control, despite
decreasing grant funding and donations, thich was largely offset by growth in member income and community
fundraising and funéraising events.
The attached Financial State￿nts cover the 17 months to 31 August 2025. Total income for the accounting ￿rIOd
vras £1,074,770, Total funds ol the charity as al 31 August 2025 V•pre £340,573, comprising reStr￿ted funds of
£62,389 and unrestricted fijnds of £278,184. As al 31 April 2024 total funds were £438,gs4, compris￿1 of £374,857
in unrestricted funds and 64,097 in restricted funds.
Donatio￿ including Trust & Foundation grants have decreased by £107,835 Irom £457,653 in the previous period
10 £349,818 in the current period. This reflects the more difficult Trust and Foundation fundraising landscape
generally as well as the challenge of fundraising then the previous period of 17 rYKJnths, $￿wS incorne over
£1,000,CDO. ￿1¢h limits the numtrer ol funders to ￿0M CASPA can appty as y￿11 as a significant one-off donation
in the previous period.
Membership subscription Inumg of £334,583 comprlsès 31% of total income, even after an increase in Aprll 2025.
the first increase in over five years. CASPA has intentionally attempted to keep membership subs as affordable as
possible lor members and fanilies, despite our much higher cost of specialist delivery that is require(I for our
members.
CASPA increased fundraisng capacity and has successfully sean communty fundraising and fundraising evanls
grow from £285,998 for the perid ended 31 March 2024 to £375,729 for the seventeen month5 ended 31 August
2025 due to the amazingly generou5 CASPA cornmunity of indNKluals and businè5se5 that part￿ipate in or attend
our fundraisers.
Fundraising events included CASPA'S annual fundraising Ball in November, wth a tww successful GO￿ Day in
Seplemter 2024 and another in SerAember 2(r25. Challenge events have grchvn to include wing ￿alknng, skydNing,
Three Peaks In 24 hours, and many 10K and Hall Marathon challenges. These give CASPA SUPkKJrters more ways
to personally challenge themselves while fundraising for our charity. Addit'onalty, there is continued gr0￿h in
people connected to the CASPA cL)mmunity delNerirvJ in-aid-of fundraising events that make a huge fi'nancial
drfference for the charity. This includes the annual Fourday5running and Walking event, which has been fundraising
for CASPA for over fifteen years as well as one-off events such as being chosen as Chislehurst Goll Club's Charity
of the Year.
Total exFenditure increased frcffl the previous period due to both the increase in delwery of charitable activities,
fundraising, and support costs particularly IT, office and staff training costs, coupled wth the cost-of-living increase5

Crttlcal accountlng estlmates and Judg•ments
In the ap￿ICab.0n of the Charf(y's accounting poliaes, the Trustees are required to make judgeThnts,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are nct readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
fac*ors that are con&dered to ￿ relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimate5.
The esbmales and underlying assumptsons are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in ￿1¢h the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that
perh)d, or in the period of the revision and future periods ￿ere the revision affects Ix)th current and future
perKJds.
The Charity make5 estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimate5 and
assumptions wll, by definition, seldom equal the related actual resu￿. The estimate5 and assumptions that
have a signifrcant risk of causing a material adjUstn￿nt to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilib'es within
the next financial year are discussed below.
Tangible fixed assets.. The trustees annually assess both the residual value ol these assets and the exwted
useful lrfe of $UGh assets sthiGh is Gurrenlly judged to be up to 5 years, based on exper￿nce.
Going Con￿rn.. Accounting standards require the trustees to consider the appropriateness of the going
concern basi% %then preparing the financial statements. Thi5 r¥uires the trustees to fore￿St the future
trading and cash requiren￿ntS of the charity along wth other factors thich could impact upon the busine&8
Further InforMat￿n regarding the trustees assessment of going c¥)ncern is found in the trustses report and

## **Unaudited Addendum of Annual Statement of Financial Activities For the year ended 31 August 2025 and 31 August 2024** 

The Trustees present this Addendum to the financial statements to provide additional financial information for the period relating to the year ended 31 August 2025. The purpose of this addendum is to disclose the unaudited Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) for the year ended 31 August 2025, together with comparative figures for the year ended 31 August 2024. 

In accordance with merger accounting principles under the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the reporting period reflects the activities of the consolidated entity following the transition from the former charitable trust to the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) structure on 31 August 2024. The combined accounting period therefore covers activity from 1 April 2024 to 31 August 2025, ensuring continuity and comparability across both legal entities. 

The Trustees confirm that the figures presented in this addendum are based on management accounts and remain unaudited. They are provided to support transparency in financial reporting and to aid funders’ understanding of the scale and operations of the charity during the stated reporting periods.

CASPA's Tots and Family Services provide early intervention and whole-family support for autistic children aged 0–4 and their families. 

**Tots Club** runs twice weekly. Parents and children attend together, helping children develop confidence, engagement, and early developmental skills within an autisminformed environment. During the second half of each session, children are supported by trained staff in soft play, providing parents and carers with a valuable period of respite. 

**CASPA's Family Services** offer inclusive family outings, walks, and events for autistic individuals and their families of all ages, creating opportunities to build connections and access shared experiences. This whole-family approach improves wellbeing and strengthens long-term outcomes for autistic children and their families.

**"As a parent to a non-verbal child with ASD the world can feel lonely but CASPA makes sure nobody is lonely and nobody is excluded.** 

**I met lots of great people through my time with CASPA Tots and the staff are just beautiful, amazing people."** 


33 



## **Under 16's Programmes**

## **Case Study: Caitlyn's Story** 

Caitlyn first came to CASPA when she was three and attended Tots before transitioning to Juniors when she started school. At that time, Caitlyn had a very limited number of words and would struggle to play alongside other children. Her behaviour often became physical, and transitions were always very difficult. 

During the two years she has attended Juniors, Caitlyn has blossomed. Her confidence has grown alongside her speech, and she is now able to tell staff what is upsetting her. 

She loves routine: at snack time, she calls out to the other children alongside staff — with the biggest smile on her face. She has developed friendships and now attends birthday parties with friends from CASPA. 

**"We know they are safe in your hands, and always have the best time." - Caitlyn's Mum**

## **Case Study: Leo's Journey** 

Leo joined CASPA in our Tots group as a non-speaking child with significant support needs. He was a runner and frequent absconder — unable to communicate his needs verbally, he often became dysregulated and physical. 

For his family, daily life revolved around safety anmd constant supervision. Doors were kept locked. Outings required a specially adapted pram. 


Following the pandemic, Leo's family returned to CASPA seeking something that had been missing for years: opportunity, belonging, and friendship. He began attending CASPA football and family activities. 

With consistent staffing, structured sessions, and predictable routines, Leo began to thrive. 

Today, Leo attends Seniors weekly and has participated in residential trips. He has a large friendship group that extend beyond CASPA. He asks to attend trips and actively participates in sports and team activities that his family once believed would not be possible. 

**“There was a time when Leo's world revolved around safety plans and locked doors. Now, it revolves around friends, football, residential, and the next trip on the calendar.”** 

## **Resilience Through Adversity** 

Leo was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease. He experienced a challenging time, including six weeks on a restrictive liquid diet and ongoing hospital appointments. 

Despite this, Leo continues to attend Seniors every week and joins trips with his friends, even when those trips involve food he cannot eat. 

Connection matters more to Leo than avoidance and Seniors remains the highlight of his week.

## **16+ Adult Services: Futures, Beyond & Infinity** 

CASPA's 16+ programmes are delivered through our Futures, Beyond, and Infinity clubs. These weekly sessions focus on building confidence, promoting independence, and supporting emotional wellbeing through activities such as cooking, sports, and supported community access. 

In November 2024, CASPA strengthened its adult provision by relocating Futures and Beyond to West Wickham and Shirley Baptist Church, providing access to improved facilities including a sports hall, kitchen, and quiet space. 

At the same time, CASPA launched Infinity — a new weekly club for autistic adults aged 30+, ensuring continued support beyond existing age-based provision.

## **Targeted Intervention Project** 

In April 2025, CASPA launched a targeted intervention project. This provided additional short-term support to autistic children who would benefit from enhanced support but did not require full-time one-to-one provision. Each half term, 12 children were selected for a three-term period. 

37 




This targeted approach enabled staff to work closely with individuals to support specific developmental goals, improve social engagement, and increase confidence within the group environment. 

Several members progressed to independently engaging with peers. Some demonstrated increased confidence outside CASPA, including improved peer interactions in school. The intervention strengthened staff understanding of individual needs, improving overall quality of support across CASPA programmes. 

## **Travel Training Course** 


Our Travel Training Programme in partnership with London Borough of Bromley ran form November 2024 to June 2025, supporting autistic individuals aged 16 and over to develop the practical skills, safety awareness and confidence to travel independently. 

The course was designed around real-world learning, covering route planning, road and public transport safety, managing unexpected changes, and building resilience when navigating the community. 

We delivered 10 structured courses, supporting groups of five participants at a time. In total, 50 individuals aged 16+ completed the programme, including 14 autistic individuals who were not existing CASPA members, extending our impact beyond our core services. 

## **Parent/Carer Support & Community** 

CASPA's commitment to whole-family support extends beyond the children and adults in its clubs. Through Parent/Carer Support Sessions, WhatsApp communities, and dedicated social events, such as our Parent/Carer Curry Night CASPA creates a space where parents and carers feel understood, supported, and less alone. 




**"These moments of connection are vital for our well-being, helping us feel supported and less alone. I'm already looking forward to the next meeting, to laugh, share, and remind each other of the strength we find in community, this is the power of CASPA."** 

38

CASPA's holiday provision plays a vital role in service delivery. Holiday clubs, Multi Activity Days, trips, and our Under 16s and Adult residential programmes are particularly important for families during periods of routine change, providing consistency, structure, and meaningful engagement.

## **Rose's Story: A Raw Bacon Sandwich & a Life Changed** 

Rose, aged 15, had withdrawn significantly — exhausted by the pressures of school and daily masking. After school she would retreat to her room, rarely leaving the house, with no friendships to speak of. When the sailing residential was first suggested, she immediately rejected it. 

It was a raw bacon sandwich on Father's Day morning that prompted her mum to gently raise it again. The talked about the benefits: learning cooking, cleaning, and the chance to meet new people. 

As the trip approached, Rose was unsure then decided she couldn’t go. Her mum gave her a choice: sulk her way through, or go with an open mind and possibly have the time of her life. Rose chose the adventure. 



During the trip Rose made friends, was often laughing and smiling and even climbed to the top of the mast! 

Rose went home, exhausted but glowing, carrying two certificates: one for sailing, one from CASPA awarding her the **'Social Butterfly'** title. She had woken early to watch the sunrise. She could not stop talking. 

Since the trip, Rose has spent less time in her room and more time with family, helping around the house. She is chatting with new friends about what to wear to the Friday night club at CASPA — which she is now excited to attend again. 

**"You have given her back her confidence, her smile, and her friendships. It has been truly life-changing." — Rose's Mum**

## **Advocacy & Partnership** 

CASPA plays a vital role in advocating for autistic individuals and families, working in partnership with local authorities, NHS services, and community organisations to improve understanding, accessibility, and inclusion. Through collaborative events, strategic partnerships, and autistic-led projects, CASPA supports families to access services, influences local provision, and ensures autistic voices are heard in shaping support and awareness across the community. 

## **Autism Celebration and Autistic Voice Project – April 2024** 

In partnership with the London Borough of Bromley, NHS South East London, and the Bromley All Age Autism Partnership, CASPA delivered a large-scale Autism Celebration Day supporting **190 families** . 

The event brought together local services to provide accessible information and support, alongside inclusive activities including sports, gaming, yoga, and sensory activities. CASPA staff supported autistic children throughout, enabling parents and carers to engage with service providers. 

deliver an autistic-led engagement project. Focus groups with autistic individuals identified key areas where greater understanding was needed, leading to the coproduction of awareness videos, communication cards, information leaflets, and awareness badges. 

The campaign will culminate in a collaborative launch with Bromley Children's Project in September 2025, followed by wider distribution at the SEND Local Offer event in October 2025. 

## **Inclusive Community Partnerships** 

CASPA supported inclusivity festivals in partnership with Mencap and CANDI in September 2024 and July 2025, enabling autistic individuals to safely access community services 

## **Autistic-Led Focus Strengthening Local Groups Systems**
