The objects of the Charity are the relief and rehabilitation of those suffering spinal cord injury and other forms of paralysis, through the provision of sporting and recreational activities. ObSectlves and Activitles: The Charity's objects and principal activities are.. To provide sport and challenging pursuits to people with paralysis. The original remit was limited to people with spinal cord injury, but with the advice and agreement of the Charity Commission IIO, February 20031 this was extended to other populations. The wording of the Trust document was amended by the addition of the words "or any form of paralysis" to follow "spinal cord injury" Thus, the target population to benefit from the Charitvs activities was extended to include among others, stroke suNivors and people with MS or cerebral palsy. The main objectives and activities for the year continued to be.. The provision of sport and challenEing pursuits in various locations around the UK. However, there is a very positive by-product of the Sportability activities in that service providers, who may have never considered working with people with disabilities hitherto, learn from the experience, recognise the possibilities, and extend participation to a wider, more inclusive, public. Our vision: A world where people with paralysis can flourish, can recognise and realise their full potential. Our mission: To provide and facilitate opportunities for people affected by paralysis to transform their lives,. to challenge societal and individual perceptions of disability,. to deliver services that build confidence and self- esteem, that allow people with paralysis to re-assess their capabilities and re-assert their independence. Our goal: To put the 'buzz" back into the lives of people with paralysis, let them experience the elusive adrenaline rush, to empower through achievement and ultimately to inspire the thought "If I cun do this, what else con l achieve? Our values: Driven by the needs of people with paralysis, we are passionate about transforming those lives. Through the medium of sport and challenging pursuits, we provide opportunities to develop, achieve and live life to the optimum. We respect individuality, champion inclusivity and embrace diversity. We aim for quality and excellence in all we do. Page 10 Organisation Trustees. Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees and normally serve for three years, after which period they may put themselves ft)rward for re-appointment. At the Trustees Meeting held on Wednesday, 15th January 2025, Mr. Kevin Lewis and Miss Tania Nadarajah, having served a continuous three-year period, confirmed their willingness to serve for another three-year term with immediate effect. This was proposed and passed by a unanimous vote. At the Trustees Meeting held on Thursday, 17th August 2025, Mr. Christopher Selway and Miss Jane Mackenzie, confirmed their willingness to serve as trustees for a three-year term with immediate effect. This was proposed and passed by a unanimous vote. At the Trustees Meeting held on Thursday, 20, November 2025, Mr. Daniel Wilson confirmed his willingness to serve as a trustee for a three-year term with immediate effect. This was proposed and passed by a unanimous vote. Miss Pippa Isbell announced her intended retirement from the Board by email on 3, November 2025 and this was confirmed at the Trustees Meeting held on Thursday, 20, November 2025. The Board would like to record their thanks and appreciation of her unstinting service over many years. She has advised that she will remain an active supporter and ambassador for the Charity- The Trustees meet on averaEe quarterly but there are subEroups, which may include specialist co-optees. These subgroups may meet more frequently as demand dictates, but ultimately report to the Board. Note.. Trustees, meetings were condurted vio Teams online conferencing. Trustee Induction and Training: Most Trustees were already familiar with the practical work of the Charity at the time of their original appointment. Indeed, five of the eight Trustees have personal experience of spinal cord injury, one has M.S. and the mother of one Trustee was a beneficiary participant in the ChariVs events programmes. All Trustees have been referred to the Charity Commission website information on trusteeship and have received the latest financial statements and minutes of Trustees meetin8s. Moreover, any additional recommendations on trusteeship issued by the Charity Commission are passed on to the Trustees. Staff: The Charity employed two permanent salaried members of staff for the duration of the year bein8= Miss Valerie Small as General Manager IGMI,. and Miss Ann Ryan, as part-time Administrator. One further member of staff, Miss Charlotte Ambery was appointed on I" September 2025 as part-time fundraiser. Mr David Heard remained in posltion of unpaid Chief Executive ICEI throu8hout. A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rests with the CE along with GM, Fundraiser and the Administrator. The CE is responsible for ensuring that the Charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The CE also attends the Trustees, meetings by invitation but has no voting rights. The GM, Fundraiser and Administrator have responsibility for the day-to-day practise of the Charityi supervision of the Area Organizers, ensuring that the Charity operates in line with good working practice. The Charity functions on a work from home policy with office equipment and other resources provided for the staff as required. The staff therefore work remotely, but meet formally, as and when required. Other services, such as Legal Services, secretarial support, accountancy and payroll, marketing, further fundraising and website management, are bought in on a need basis. Page 11 Volunteers: Many of the regional activity programmes are overseen by volunteer staff. This includes: Miss Jane McKenzie (Yorkshire) Mr Chris Selway (Bristol & Glos.) Mr Dan Marshall (West Midlands) Mr Phil Whiles (North Westl Mr Robert Edwards (Dorset & Hants.) and Mr Aaron Heard IEast Midlands, Central, Surrey, Kent, London & Essex). The Trustees would like to record their thanks for all the valuable help and sUPPOrt that these volunteers provide. Marketing: The main marketing tool of the Charity has been the Internet and social media. This has established a national and indeed international presence. The Charity's website has been most instrumental in maintaining contact and interest among our participants. This interest has been reinforced by regular e-mail newsletters and personal contacts. As a result, we now have active supporters/participants in the 15 regions in which we currently operate. Additionally, the Charity's website provides a facility for online donations. It is also a platform to enhance reciprocal support for our sponsors- providing them with a long-term presence. Accountants: BC Centrum Ltd. were appointed on 26th July 2019 as accountants for the Charity. The current accounts have duly been prepared by them. Compliance: In response to the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation IGDPRI, effective from Spring 2018, the Charity undertook a complete review of the entire data treatment, protection and process. All individuals whose personal data was held by the Charity were contarted with a description of how their data is held and how it would be used in line with the new GDPR regulations. Informed consent was requested to continue to hold that data. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held on 6, September 2018, a policy document, in compliance with the GDPR, was agreed and is permanently published on the Charity's website. Moreover, policies in respect of Safeguarding, Employment, Volunteers, Privacy, Employment, Complaints, Equality and Conflict of Interest were also posted on the Charity's website. These are subject to ongoing review and updated as required. Risk Management: The Board of Trustees is cognisant of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Significant risks attach to the operation of activities and it was decided112' January 20031 that the Charity would not run its own events, but would work with established service providers. Participants would then be 'clients' of the service providers and any liability in terms of Health and Safety would accrue to those organisations with the requisite expert15e to best manage the risks associated with running events and protecting the health and safety of participants. Related Parties: The Charity is in dialogue with various organisations that have similar or complementary objects. These include the Spinal Injuries Association, The MS Society and various branches, and the Stroke Association and various branches. It has been noted that Sportability programmes have often provided benefits beyond the participants and their families. The Sportability events raise awareness among the service providers and lead to a direct understanding of some of the difficulties experienced by those with disabilities. Many service providers have made adaptations to their equipment andlor access to allow wheelchair users and people with walking aids to participate in their activities and events. These facilities are then available to the public at large, increasing the possibility of more inclusive participation in future for individual {or groups) quite apart from the Sportability programmes.

Jine Page 13 The Year in Review The objective for 2025 was to continue the re-building programme, matching the pre-covid performance levels. We expanded our regular winter indoor programme, featuring events in seven regions of the UK. Then completed a summer programme that featured all our regular activities, such as quad biking. 4x4 drivinE, archery, falconry, sailing, clay shooting, microlight flying, gliding, canoeing. Plus, the re-introduction of adapted light aircraft flying, indoor sit-skiing, off-shore motor boating and carriage driving. In we added some exciting new events such as pickle ball and paddleboarding. However, 2025 saw some exceptional weather conditions and as a result many of the water sports activities (sailing, canoeing, etcl were unavailable due to low and dangerous water levels. Moreover, some airborne activities Igliding, microlight flying) were inoperable with extreme thermal conditions. As a result, the annual programme was slightly reduced. However, the Charity was still able to offer 76 events across 15 re8ions of the UK. That Is over some 900 opportunities for people with paralysis to participate in something they never thought they could do. And all completely free of charge.

Many regular donors were unable to offer support either through diversion of funds to other health causes, or pressure on their own funds. Indeed, some ceased operating entirely. Nevertheless, there was a rise in the effectiveness of Head Office fund-raising activity, which lead to an overall increase in funding to well above the pre-covid levels. Moreover, the regular golf tournaments continued to show a healthy increase in the contribution from the three tournaments, surpassing each of the previous years. Sources of Funding HO fund raising activity included 278 appeals in 2025. This compares to 352 appeals in 2024, 494 appeals in 2023, 472 in 2022 and 115 in 2021. Contributions from this source rose to £64.450 in 2025, compared to £36,100 in 2024, É48,600 in 2023, £37,464 in 2022 and £27,450 in 2021, and well above the 2019 pre-covid contribution of £52,694.

However, the Trustees would like to accord particular thanks and recognition to the following organisations: The Souter Trust For their generous contribution with donation5 over 13 years to support Sportability Events & Activities programmes across the country. The Calleva Foundation & The Broughton Family Charitable Trust For their generous contribution with donations over nine years to support Sportability Events & Activities programmes across the country. The Bruce Wake Charity For their generous contribution with donations over eight years lincluding a double donation in 2025 prior to their closurel to support Sportability Events & Activities programmes across the M idlands regions. The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust For their support over seven years, with particular emphasis on participation for people with parapleEIa. Alice Ellen Cooper-Dean Charitable Foundation Alice Ellen Dean Charitable Foundation in Dorchester for their support over eleven years for programmes in the Dorset, Hants. and Wilts. re8ion. THE SIR JAMES ROLL CHARITABLE TRUST For their generous contribution with donations over 14 years to support Sportability Events & Activities programmes across the country. The Freddie Wakenham Charitable Trust For their generous contributions with donations over five years to support Sportability Events & Activities programmes across the country. Page 16 The Trustees would also like to express their sincere thanks to all the participating golf clubs for the use of their facilities and the support in promoting and hosting the extremely valuable fund raising events. SURBITON GOLF CLUB ESTABLISHED 1895 DEREHAM GOLF CLUB ROOKERY PARK GOLF CLUB The Year Ahead The Board of Trustees is mindful of the continuing national mood of austerity and uncertainty and has considered the possible effect on the Charity's fundraising capability. Moreover, several Trusts and Foundations that have supported the Charity in the past are no lonBer operational. However, the two golf tournaments in East Anglia will continue, with efforts to hold costs, increase attendance and revenue. Messrs Taylorson and Campbell are again organising a fund-raising golf tournament at Surbiton Golf Club, building on the success of the prior tournaments. Moreover, with a greater carry forward sum in 2025, due to the reduction in events and the increased performance in HO Fundraising, it was considered reasonable to increase the budgeted costs for 2026 by 31% rather than the prior annual rise of 25Yo. For the immediate future, the Charity has two main objectives= To provide a greater range of sports (indoor and outl in the existing regions; and to offer programmes in more regions. These are the twin goals of Sportability. We want people with paralysis to have access to sport throughout the UK. The ultimate aim is to bring the Sportability Experience within an hour's drive of the main population areas of the UK. The future growth of the sports programmes Ithe core activity of the Charity) is deemed dependent on the replacement of defunct service providers, the sourcinE of new providers and an increase in available capacity. The appointment of more Area Organisers is considered key to any expansion. Discussions are ongoing with several possible candidates and more appointments are expected in 2026. The Board is aware that any expansion is subject to available funds and review. Page 17 Financial Review Accounts have been prepared for the period 1st January 2025 up to and including 31st December 2025 and show net current assets of £37,624 and total assets, less current liabilities, of £38,068. Restricted Funds.. During the year, certain donations were made to support either specific activities, or use in specific regions. In the year under review there were no Restricted Funds outstanding. Sports activities that are financed by the Charity are reflected in the accounts under the heading 'Events & Activity Costs,. Those costs are therefore incurred in pursuarbce of the Charity's objects. Allocation of Funds Charitable Activities 30% Fundrasing Compliance 54% Reserves 15% Reserves Policy. The Board of Trustees has examined the Charit￿5 requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the fund5 not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity should be set at 3 to 6 months of the Fixed Costs. Budgeted expenditure for 2026 is £91,170, of which the Fixed Cost element is £54,7ChJ. Therefore, the minimum surplus in general funds will, at any given time, be held at around £13,675 and no less than £27,350. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the Charity and the Trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the activities of the Charity (albeit in reduced form and volume) in the event of a significant drop in funding. Declaration: The Trustees are satisfied that the objects of the Charity have been carried out in accordance with their Declaration of Trust dated 28th August 1989 as amended in 2003 and that the attached accounts show a true record of the financial artivities of the Trust.
