Bradford Inclusive Disability Service
Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 30 September 2025
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
It has been a successful and rewarding year for the Bradford Inclusive Disability Services.
The Summer programme ran very well, both in specialist provision at a local special school and in the community receiving outstanding feedback from attendees.
Christmas was a triumph with a day and meeting Santa at Ponderosa, teenzone / kidszone both had Christmas parties and we attended the pantomime at the local Alhambra.
Both Teenzone and Kidzone continue to run smoothly following the recent staff changes, and the new team members employed from September have settled in well, which is reflected in the last years accounts.
We have celebrated the charity turning 50 with lots of lovely events. We are also delighted to share that we have been awarded three years of funding from The National Lottery, providing valuable support for our ongoing and future projects.
Financial review
The net payments for the year were £30,086, including net receipts of £7,608 on unrestricted funds and net payments of £48,985 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, at the year end were £29,947.
The reserves policy is to aim to retain between 3 and 6 months annual budgeted expenditure for the purpose of enabling the smooth running of the charity and to allow for an orderly winding up should the charity need to close.
