Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2023
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
The relief and education of children with disabilities by the provision of therapeutic educational and stimulating toys and equipment.
The charity's main activities
The Bradford Inclusive Disability Service (formerly Bradford Toy Library) provides a specialist toy and resource service to assist in the development of children with disabilities. Interesting weekly theme days and events for users are organised including an extensive Summer holidays and school breaks scheme. Also 'TEENZONE' a social skills group (11+), Friday Friends and a Carer's Support Group are part of our activities.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
This year we have interacted with more schools and specialist settings, and we have been invited to discuss our charity with many outside organisations including.
Thinking Big William Meritt Bradford Stronger together Shine World Autism Awareness Day
We attended Kids up North and made some valuable connections to enable us to buy some brilliant unique toys and equipment.
We hosted Bradford community disability playday for our 7th year along with Nell bank and we managed to bring together over 450 people to enjoy an afternoon of fun activities provided by Bradford play team and some smaller outside agencies, this gave families a unique time to socialize and experience activities that they might not normally attend in a mainstream community setting.
One of our biggest achievements this year was to revamp the office making it more user friendly and accessible for other groups to use outside of our core hours.
We have increased our toy and specialist equipment to include a play pod, lots of sensory lights and tents various projectors and specialist light and sound equipment for our families to loan.
The room was redecorated new furniture and lockable storage were purchased. This has made the office a more enjoyable space and allows us to offer our room to other departments within the trust and it gives them another space to borrow for the afternoon evening. This has included neo natal staff, a new virtual reality session for children who are needle phobic and the dieticians have used our space to encourage eating.
After using a local venue for many months after Covid as families and young people were nervous about community spaces, we Have now moved back into the community offering Lazer zone, bowling, cinema, theatre, eating out and parks to our Teenzone Kidzone groups.
We had our first residential since Covid and we took 160 people up to Ingleborough Hall for the week with days visits for some families and a two-night residential for others this was very popular, and we have been asked if we can do this again next year.
We had some lovely Christmas events for all our families including a lunchtime meal out for our Friday friends’ carers group and an insane air event with food for over 90 people.
The service is continuing to grow and expand, and we are always going to re-evaluate what our service users need so every year we ask our young people and parent’s what activities and events they would like us to provide and if it is possible, we will try and accommodate all their needs.
