Introduction
Established in 7975. within St Luke's H05Pital will be celebrating ￿Jr Soth birthday
this year.
Starting out as a toy library for children with addltk￿al needs and their families our
inltial goal was to support clinlclans In Children's Outpatients with the Pfovslon of loy5
fof children with sensory Impairment& Auiism and oiher lrf&llmiting conditions Fof
many families, wrchasing specific toys for their children wa5 often outside of their
financial means and the Toy Library became the solution.
Our staff team grew <y4er time and by 2006
we employed two full time staff who both
have children (now young adults) with
ddltional needs. Through their personal and
professional krKwledge. over the years we
have intr(xJuc8d more activities and services
that support our chlldren. young people and
famili6 alongside our toy library. All of our
services have been developed wth our
families and chlldren, so v4e are proud to say
we are truly user-le(L

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.

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.

## Bradford Inclusive Disability Service 

## 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.
