Structure Governance and Management 

Governing Document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. 

Trustees of the Charity 

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law. 

The trustees oversee the running of the charity. The Honorary Chief Officer, Margaret Burrow, is responsible for operational management and the execution of the Board’s strategic plan and is assisted and supported by the operational team.  Day to day service delivery is delegated to a team of staff and volunteers. 

There are no connected charities or branches. Transactions with trustees and related parties are disclosed in the notes to the accounts. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. 

Recruitment and Appointment of the Management Committee 

Existing Trustees/Directors as members of the organisation invite potential trustees to serve on the board. 

Trustees are invited based on the skills required for the role and to fill any skills gap. A potential trustee will complete an application and meet with the Chair and Honorary Chief Officer to discuss the role and their suitability. They will be proposed and seconded at a trustee meeting by 



existing trustees and these appointments are officially confirmed at the AGM. Once appointed induction procedures are undertaken 

None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. 

Risk Management 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that adequate systems are in place to mitigate any exposure to the major risks. 

## Objectives and Activities 

The charity's objects are to promote the welfare of the disabled in any manner deemed charitable, and to support and promote the interests of those who experience disability, their families, carers and supporters 

## Activities 

Barrow and District Disability Association offers: - 

- Disability Centre and Cafe 

- Disablement Advice and Benefits service 

- Disability Advice, information and signposting 

- Adult Education and Learning 

- Assess Services 

- Groups and activities 

- Volunteering 

The staff and volunteer team deliver a range of services from our community-based centre, with the overall aim of improving people's lives. 

As well as providing a range of services, we also offer advice, information and a signposting service to the general public. We are active in local community networks and work in partnership with other local organisations to ensure disability issues are considered and represented throughout our community 

## Financial Review 

Our accounting arrangements continue to be managed by TI Financial Services. This year's financial position remained healthy but has been more challenging in terms of bringing in funds and the rising costs of service delivery. There is a continued need to review funding streams and spending. Increasing and diversifying our funding streams remains a focus for the Board of Trustees and the Honorary Chief Officer. 

We have maintained accurate records and submitted reports for funders where this is required. 



We have continued to review salaries to bring them in line with other providers however, our trustees are aware this must be an ongoing aim and as such the trustees have a commitment to review salaries annually and salaries will be set at the start of the financial year. Trustees will make decisions on rates of pay based on funding available and comparable local rates of pay. 

We plan to continue to grow our unrestricted income streams from donations and events at the same time of building good relationships with local donor and fundraisers. 

## Achievements and Performance 

Barrow and District Disability Association is satisfied that it has met all its contractual requirements for the year ending 2022. We have continued to monitor the health and social care benefits arena and continued the process of developing our services in line with national agendas and our effective networking and partnerships have placed us in a stronger position 

We have continued to place significant focus on our community engagement, and frontline services to strengthen our relationships with our local community and potential funders whilst raising awareness, this is an area for growth in the coming year, pending the challenges of Covid-19 variants, and the impact of rising costs resulting from the ‘Cost of Living Crisis” 

Covid-19-A Global Pandemic As we move forward into 2022/203 our finances and our services face the same degree of uncertainty and unprecedented challenges that all charities are facing. The recovery from the Global Pandemic is impacted by the further impact arising from the ‘Cost of Living Crisis”. 

In previous years we have made significant steps to diversify our income streams but unfortunately covid-19 pandemic impact on all current income streams and we face uncertainty in what funding will be available at the start of 2023. 

We face reduced community donations as we are unable to hold events and fundraisers and must try to adapt and plan to look at expansion of online giving, with the development of a new web site. Our café closure during the pandemic has impacted upon footfall, this has seen a slow start in customers and volunteers returning.  We have also experienced reduced availability of volunteers able to help, and this has led to reduced opening hours etc. that will further reduce income. 

The uncertainty of the current economic and political climate exacerbated by the aftermath of impacts of Covid-19 and the additional impact of 



rising costs mean we must be vigilant of our financial situation and the trustees and management remain committed to ensuring they seek out opportunities for new funding streams wherever appropriate. 

However, the funding environment for 2022/2023 and going forward will be a challenge. We anticipate the aftermath of impact of Covid-19 and the global pandemic will impact heavily on health and disability, we hope as we move forward this is recognised by funders and commissioners and reflected in the funding available the trustees have examined the needs of and challenges faced by the charity, in both the short and medium term, along with relevant financial forecasts, and have a plan to meet those needs. 

Therefore, we report on what has been achieved during the year ending on 31"March 2022 as follows: 

The Cafe, Centre & Room Hires: 

The cafe has reopened following the Government Guidelines for hospitality, initially with a reduced offer and opening hours, that during the year has gradually improved, though not back to pre-pandemic levels. We continued to monitor the situation closely.  The café has suffered in generating income due to the pandemic.  Volunteer recruitment for the café is a challenge and this is a focus for the coming year. 

## Computer Project: 

Computer courses have relaunched in the Centre for face to face delivery with a focus on practical skills for daily use such as skills that helped them connect with the digital environment, they include spreadsheets, email, online shopping, facetime, on-line meetings and social activities.  The take up has been slower than pre-pandemic levels however, we continue to focus on this area and are confident that a new offer in the coming year will delivery greater opportunities for engagement. 

## Short Courses: 

Our short courses recommenced and continue to be popular with our learners who learned topics such as pencil drawing for beginners, more pencil drawing, water colours, mixed media, dressmaking from beginners to the more advanced.  Our learners have told us how much they appreciate the courses and time together particularly after the isolation caused by the lockdown in the pandemic. 

## Disablement Advice & Benefits Service (DABS) 

We have seen a significant rise in claimants coming through to our service due to the pandemic, however, we have also seen the numbers of failed 



assessments rising.  This is due to the Government Restrictions whereby Assessments for Disability Benefits are being carried out on-line resulting in greater numbers of clients failing these assessments, and therefore having essential benefits withdrawn. Our support in Appeals Advocacy is also in greater need than ever before. 

Our Disability Advice and Benefits Service provides support through: 

- Application process, advice and support given in completing forms 

- Assessment – we guide the client through the assessment criteria for personal independence payments,(PIP) and other benefits and liaise with Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on their behalf 

- Support clients through the support Information requirements and gathering medical information process.  Our clients need support to obtain their own evidence to support their assessment. 

- Support through Manadatory reconsiderations 

- Appeals, support cleints through the tribunal panel, attending and acting as advocate. 

- Our clients cases are complex and complicated, the benefits criteria is unrealistic for severely disabled people with longstanding physical and mental conditions to navigate alone.  Our service is essential to support, correct and ensure benefits are reinstated to those that are entitle to claim them. 

- We have a track record of winning 95% of our cases at appeal, at court for tribunals or through mandatory reconsiderations. 

To date, assessing all the year ones only, of successful awards which can be valid for as long as ten years, this team have brought back into the local economy over £17,000,000 which is remarkable, and it has had a massive positive impact on disabled people, their carers families and the wider local economy 

Fundraising: 

Despite the difficulties of the pandemic our team of fundraisers have been trying wherever possible and wherever is safe to do so, to hold sales of work, sell raffle tickets, tombola’s, to help bring in much needed income into the organisation. 

Christmas Community Initiative 

Our BDDA team and our fundraisers successfully held a Christmas Grotto for children and families in an outside venue (Barrow Market Hall).  This traditional annual event provided 300 children from the community the opportunity to see Father Christmas and receive a gift in a safe environment.  Whilst raising funds and community spirit. 

Mary Robinson Building Project: 



Fundraising for this expansion project has been slower because of the pandemic however, is progressing and the plans are continuing to develop the building that adjoins our centre to create a dedicated assessable Disablement Advice & Benefits Service area.  This will enable our present DABS to develop further the much-needed services they deliver to the disabled people, carers, and families.  Fundraising for this will continue in the coming financial year. 

In addition, we plan to: 

Seek funding wherever possible to keep our services operational and developing to meet the ongoing needs of disabled people their families and carers. 

Develop the website and through this develop opportunities for online giving 

Develop the offer for education and learning to meet the needs of those individuals assessing the service 

Recruit, train and support more volunteers to maximise their opportunities and skill development 

Continue to develop our services to meet the needs of our community and to focus our developments in partnership with our local networks to maximise benefits.

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on page 2. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.   An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation form you as Trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In Connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

   - To prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and to comply with 

   - the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met, or 

2. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Barrow District Disability Association** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Barrow District Disability Association** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on page 2. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.   An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation form you as Trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In Connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

   - To prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and to comply with 

   - the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met, or 

2. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
