Trustees, Annual Report (including Dlrectors, Report) {continued)
CHAIRS REPORT
The company continues to deliver bespoke and meaningful services for people with disabilities, with a
particular focus on Autism. Our provision this year has centred on two key facilities.. the Galhering Rooms
café at Vicars Hill, Armagh, and the Print Room based at the Mall. In addition, funding received from The
National Loltery Awards for All has enabled us to continue offering our highly successful social afternoons
and evenings for children and young people with Autism, as well as those awaiting diagnosis, and their
families. These sessions have provided an extremely valuable opportunity for connection, leading to new
friendships and the development and celebration of indivi(Jual talents most notably through our well-attended
open mic nights.
Our relationship with Autism services within the Trust remains strong. Through our specialised support, we
have assisted 14 young people with ASD during the year, enabling progressions into further education,
training, and employment. The café has worked hard to sustain itself through earned income, with minimal
reliance on grant funding, which is increasingly difficult to obtain.
However, in the latter part of the year, the organisalion experienced a downturn in earned income due to
reduced footfall and lower cuslomer spend per head. As a result, the company has relied more heavily on
the support of its sisler organisation to help maintain financial stability.
As part of our strategic review, the trustees have explored the potential relocation of the café lo a more
visible site within Armagh city centre, recognising Ihe significant ongoing value this service provides to
participants.
The printing social enterprise in Armagh continues to offer a vital service for participants wrth learning
disabilities. providing opportunities to develop enhanced work and social skills. The core costs of this service
remain largely supported by UKSPF and SHSCT., however, sales wilhin the financial year have declined,
reducing the enterprise's contribution to cole organisational costs.
The Board will continue to monitor and review the perfomiance of this service as part of its wider strategic
and financial planning.

PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES
The purposes of the charity are to provide training facilities for the people of Northern Ireland with di5abililies
to include emotional and behavioural problems without distinction of age. sex, race, political or religious
opinions by association with the authorities, voluntary groups, institutions, business and statutory inheritance
in a common effort to advance care, treatment, education, training and to provide facilities in the interest of
social welfare for health, recreation and leisure activities with the objecl of improving conditions of life for
people in the area in question.
The trustees believe that our purpose to provide training facilities for the people of Northern Ireland, in
particular those people who are disabled, by the provision of work and social skills training which will help to
equip them for employment opportunities provides a public benefil. The direct benefits which flow from this
purpose include improved work and social skills. improved self-confidence. and social inclusion in community
workplaces. These benefits have been demonstrated through progress on training plans, progress on tracked
assessments. placement in community workplaces, feedback from participants and their families at reviews

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Prlnt It Armagh
Print It Armagh has continued to provide necessary and essential service to adults with a learning disability
from the Armagh locality, we continue to score highly with all relevant stakeholders with satisfaction ratings
of 990/0 from participants and their families. Our relalionship with the SHSCT remains overwhelmingly
positive with a steady rate of referrals.

The Print Room continues lo provide an innovative training environment for young people with a diagnosis of
Autism. The use of specifically trained staff has enabled solid progression for our young people from the
sheltered environment ofthe Print Room lo supported work placements in the community and paid work. The
project remains unique in the local area in solely supporting young people with Autism as opposed to within a
mixed project which in turn equates to success. With the addition of the café as an alternative source of
training especially for young people with ASD the company has continued lo demonslrate innovation and
responding to the needs of this group of young people particularly during Ihe pandemic.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding
Funding continues to be the main pressure on our organisation. We are pleased to note that the company
has been successful in our bid for UKSPF until April 2025, which supports the Print It Armagh activities, and
will continue lo seek further funding to ensure the activities of the company can continue.
The Deficit incurred during the year ended 31$1 Mach 2025 was £11,619.
The charity's working capitsl requirements have been maintained during the year to allow the various aclivities
of the charity to continue uninterrupted.
At the 31 $1 March 2025 the company has net current liabililies of £9,608 with all creditors payable within the
due period in the case of taxes and for materials or services as agreed with commercial supplies.
With the support from our main funders the Southern Health and Social Care Trust ISHSCT), UKSPF and
earned income we are confident that the seNices currently being provided will continue to improve the lives
of those requiring support in the community.
GOING CONCERN
With the continued support from our funders Confirmed for the next year the trustees are satisfied Ihat the
charity accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis.
RISK MANAGEMENT
While we continue to strengthen our relationship with the community via the various print-it projects the
enhancement of these programmes are also the main risks to the enterprise in ensuring that costs are
controlled and that the activities lead to increased revenues and thereby a greater contribution towards our
overheads. The costs are closely monitored, and monthly reports are required by the trustees to ensure that
the various programmes are run efficiently and remain within prepared budgets.

Trustees, Annual Report (including Directors, Report) (continued)
Attention is also focused on the non-financial risks arising from the health, safety and prolection of our
vulnerable participants. These risks are managed by ensuring thal we have robust policies and procedures
in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas, the trustees require
reporting of any and all issues relating lo health, safety and protection of our adults at risk on a formal basis
each month at board meeting. The company ensures that it stays up to date with all legislation regarding
safeguarding and have received the highest raling from ETI on our safeguarding practice. Staff continual
professional development is taken very seriously, and staff have benefitted during the period from mental
health first aid training, Assist suicide prevention training, epilepsy management, ASC training, first aid and
diabetes awareness. We have a strong focus on fully meeting our participants needs and will undertake all
necessary training to ensure that the persons experience is the best we can provide.

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount
being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable
amount, Ihe asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made
ofthe recoverable amount ofthe cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating
unit is the smallest identrfiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that
are largely independenl of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
