STRATEGIC REPORT
A¢hievement and perfonnance
Transitioning into 2024 has marked a peric<l of significant change and opportunity for the Apuldram Centre.
While maintaining our commitment to higtrFquality s8rvic8 d81iv8ry. we have embraced new leadership and
fresh perspectives. Since April 2023, y￿ have welcomed a new Chief Executive Officer and Operations &
Compliano Manager, following the resignation from our Chief Executiv8 Offic£r and ret1￿ment of our Chief
Operating Officer. A]though our previous Chief Executive Officer did r8sign. they have cA)ntinued to support
the charity as a Management Consultant on several businw d8v8lopment opporiunities. Additionally. our
lon*standing Finance Manager has transitioned into the ro18 of Chi8f Financial Officer. comp18ting our new
senior management team. The Supported Living service also saw a thange in 188dership with a new
Registered Manager at the helm.
Amid these changes, we were deepty saddened by th8 passing of Paul Read. our lon*standing Chair of
Trustees. Paul had been a beloved volunleer and Twst8e at the Centre for many years, and his kindness,
commitment, and leadership were cherish8d by both staff and service users. This exemplified by a generous
donation of £25,000 he mada for th8 betterment of the peop18 Apuldram Centre supports. He will be greatly
missed. However, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Blaber, one of our existing Trustees.
as the new Chair of Ihe Board. Steve brings a wealth of valuable expertise to the role, along with personal
insight as the fath8r of one of our service users. further enriching the Board's leadership.
INhilst it has been a time of signifi¢xnt staff chang8, It has been heartening to withess the strong relationships
formed between new staff and our service us8rs. as well as the continued dedication of our existing team and
volunteers. Their'commilment has b88n essential in ensuring a smooth transition and in maintaining the
quality of support that our SeNiC8 US8rs rely on.
2024 also brought new opportunities for collaboration. In early 2024, we submitted a bid for Day se￿ices
Opportunilies in partnership with the Aldingbourne Trust, under the joint initiative "Chichester Connects."
Aldingboume Trust are another local charity that supports adults with Learning Disabilities with a particular
fO￿S on assisting its servic8 users to find employm8nt. The goal of this partnership is to enhance our Day
Services by provtding mor8 Opportunities for service us8rs to engage with the community. This initiative will
Complement our established Communty Hub, creating a comprehensive pathway for supported and,
ultimately, independenl volunteering. We were delighted to learn that our bid was Su￿SSfUl, with the results
confimied in April 2024 and now look forward to the new opportunities this will bring for the service users and
the platfomi this craatss for future partnership working with other organisations.
Our Day SeNi¢8S remain a vital part of our offering. Attendees continue to achieve personal goals through
work axperience in our shoplcafé and horticultural services, pariicipating in creattve, enjoyable activities that
develop their skills. The Community Hub has also expanded its reach, fonning partnerships with local
organisations such as UK Harvest and St. Wilfrid's Hospice. These partnerships allow service users to gain
valuable skills in areas like customer service and computing, while fostering important social connections.
The Apuldram Centr8 has also made strides in enhancing its facilities. On our main site, we've added a
covered walkway be￿&@n the kitcher) and caf8 to ensure safe food transportation and provide a sheltered
seating ar8a for customers during indement weather. Additionally, we have installed double-glazed wlndows
in one of our Supported Living properties. improving energy efficiency and reducing utility costs for tenants.
New carpets have also been fitted across all Apuldram-owned properties, helping tenants feel proud of their
living spaces. These improvements were made possible through generous grants, donations, and a legacy
gift. induding significant support from the Gerald Micklem Charitable Trust and the Wickens Family Trust .
Under new leadership. our Supported Living service is focused on fostering ind8pendence. With
perSOn-￿ntered approach, we are supporting setvice users in achieving goals such as travelling
independently, staying home alone. and making heallhier m8al choices.

However, the year was not without challenges. Our ambition to boost revenue through primary purpose
trading in our café and shop were impacted by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, which affected both our
customer bas8 and supply chain. As a result, sales did not meet expectatiorvs. and purchasing costs rose. In
response, the charity made the strategic decision to create a new revenue stream by building an enclosed
Dog Park This new facility will not only help offset rising core costs but will also serve as a primary purpose
activity for our service users, offering opportunities to maintain the paTk. bake d(NJ treats, and creste
dog-themed crafts like bandanas. The goal is to tum the site into a communty destination, boosting foot
traffic for our café and shop.
Finally, we are excited to report the launch of our Legacy Giving Ggmpaign, whlch has already gamered
interest from individuals wishing to leave lasting legacies to lo￿] organisations like ours.
We look fO￿ard to the year ahead wth confidence and are looking to build on the earEy Suc￿sS of the new
Dog Park by creating a community around the new facility using social media and planned events.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORSTO THE MEMBERS OF
THE APULDRAM CETrURE
Our responsibilities for tho audit of th8 financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whelher due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always deted a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or e￿or and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecling irregulariti8s. induding fraud is detailed below:
From discussion with management and those charged with governanLE information about the entity is
documented to assess the actrwity within the organisation. We discuss management's assessment of risk in
respect of irregularities, fraud and going concem.
Based on these discussions and our own assessments we determined that the key risk areas were income
recognition in respect of cut off issues and management override conGeming the size of the organisation.
We set financial statement materiality lev81 based on the level of incDme. As a not for profit organisation
raising income is its primary focus which is why income was used to detemiine the level of materiality. Our
overall assessment of risk was used to determine perfomance materialty at an appropriate level.
Subslantive audit tests were designed after assessing and performing walkthrough tests. The walkthrough
testing confirmed documented systems which have been designed to act as a preventative measure against
fraud and error which appear to be operating as documented. Substantive testing tesled a sample of the
population, representative of the population, to id8ntify errors. The testing did not identify any material
misstatements in areas t8Sted.
Audit substantive lests concluded no material errors over the key risk areas of income recognition and
management Ove￿Ide.
The audit considers the organisation is not exposed to material risk of error as a result of assessing laws and
regulations that are appropriate to the organisation.
Management assessed there is no going concern risk. The audit undertook a review of budgets, management
accounts and th& review of board minutes and came to the same condusion as managemenL
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on th6 Financial
Reporting Council's website at vNM.frc.org.uldauditorsresponsibilitie8. This description foms part of our

transaction is measured at the p￿sent value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of
interest. Finanaal assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities. including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction pri
unless the arrangement constltutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at
the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rale of interest. Financial liabiltties
classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt insbwments are subsequently carried at amortised cos( using the effective interest rate method.

estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily

experience and other fadors that are considered to be relevanL Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underfying assumptions are Trviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affeds cnly
thal period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current
and future periods.
