They have supported us in many ways, including exceptional support during Covid.

Picture. Caving at Ingleborough Hall The future 50 years of supporting families of disabled children and young people across the Bradford District has been truly rewarding, and at times, hard work. IYS nota job. iysourlifeand iyswhatwedo Emma and Michelle We have big plans. We want to bring the joy of BIDS service and its activities to more families across the district and to do this we are working with more funders to grow our staff team and increase our reach. Our plans include taking on Health and Social Care apprentices to train them to work with our wonderful families. We need to ensure that our service continues to run for another SO years. and therefore growing our own workforce is incredibly important to us. We will also be looking to work with local colleges to provide T-level placement opportunities for their students. Once we have more staff. we will then be increasing our offer for toy loan and support within more schools across the district. Picture: Delivering Christmas presents to our clients. 20

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bradford Inclusive
Disability Service
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out on pages 28 to 32.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
