Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Governing body
The trustees, who are required under the Articles to serve as members of the charity, are elected at a full trustees' meeting and required to meet specifications concerning eligibility, personal competence, specialist skills and local availability.
Trustee-training
New trustees are inducted into the working environment of the charity, and also of the company as a registered charity, including trustees' policy and procedures.
Organisational management
The trustees meet monthly to determine the general policy of the charity and review its overall management and control for which they are legally responsible.
Risk management
The trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. External risks to funding will be mitigated by allowing for diversification of funding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
To promote and provide care opportunities for social development to adults with disabilities.
Strategic aim and objectives
The charity's strategic aim is the attainment of providing the best possible care, support and opportunities for adults with disabilities. The individuals that attend the centre can develop their social skills through interaction with large groups and other individuals.
Principal activity
The charity's principal activity continues to be the provision of care and opportunities for the social development to adults with disabilities.
Achievements and performance
Achievements and performance
In early 2023 we secured a five-year contract, on a block basis, with our biggest Local Authority Customer, this provides financial security and gives us the confidence to make longer-term plans. We retain our good reputation with our Local Authority and NHS customers and our service users (Members)
All our customers are paying on a block basis and this negates the significant potential loss of income that Covid 19 and or other long term member absence would otherwise pose to the charity.
We have a consistent level of users and demand for our services is high, we are at capacity, for users with greater needs and have established a waiting list.
In the year in question we also attracted donations and grants from a number of individuals and organisations both financial and in kind and we are very grateful for their generosity.
We have had input from established volunteers and we are grateful for all their help and support. For example gardening maintenance and help with producing our newsletter.
Public Benefit
The trustees are delighted that the organisation has been able to continue to benefit disabled adults this year. Membership remained high with 104 concurrent Members by the year end.
Financial review
Financial Review
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ("the free reserves") held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended, which equates to £232,453 to £464,906 in general funds. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant reduction in funding, in the medium term.
Investment powers, policy and performance
The Trustees believe that cash deposits and the purchasing of stock market linked investment trusts are the most appropriate policies for investing funds. The portfolio is considered to be conservative risk. Other funds are held as cash deposits. This position is reviewed on a regular basis.
Plans for future periods
The charity has partnered with Pilotlight and will be receiving strategic business support to drive sustainable growth. Our organisation was selected from over 100 applicants in the North of England, Midlands, and Wales to receive this support.
The partnership between
Teesside Ability Support Centre
, Pilotlight, and the Garfield Weston Foundation marks a significant milestone in our journey towards growth and innovation. By leveraging the knowledge and experience of business experts, we aim to solidify our position as a leading force in empowering individuals with disabilities and driving positive change in the community.
The Charity has created its first fundraising and marketing position, to support the ambitious plans of the charity that include building a new, purpose built, centre within five years.
The trustees continue to utilise the remaining bequest monies that were received in 2019 for the benefit of Members.
The Charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the coming year subject to continued satisfactory funding arrangements.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
|
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of
Teesside Ability Support Centre
('the company') for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1.
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2.
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3.
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4.
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

Purposes of unrestricted funds
The general funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds to enable the charity to fufil its objectives, to meet existing commitments and to provide a reasonable working capital base.
The fixed asset fund has been setup to assist in identifying those funds that are not free funds and represent the cost of tangible assets to be purchased by the charity from funds designated for that purpose.
