A Year of Transition In both service and organisational terms 2012/13 has seen the start of a transitional journey for Dyscover. In April Dyscover “came of age” having completed 18 years of service to people with Aphasia. Shortly thereafter we heard the wonderful news that we had been awarded a five year grant by the Big Lottery Fund. The project: Aphasia Surrey One Stop Shop (ASOSS) opens the way to a more individualised approach to supporting people with Aphasia. At Dyscover we have long recognised that individuals recover from stroke, and adjust to living with Aphasia at different rates and with varying degrees of success.

The ASOSS project is focused on optimising success by building confidence , communicative effectiveness and participation in everyday life. During this initial year of the project our Speech and Language Therapists (SALTs) have started to establish baselines of ability, self perception and quality of life, using the Assessment for Living with Aphasia (ALA),

which is a new functional assessment specifically designed for people learning to live with Aphasia as a long term condition.

The process of assessment is also helping Dyscover members work with us to identify personal goals, which they are supported towards by staff and volunteers. Over the course of the ASOSS project we hope to demonstrate an improvement in individuals’ self perception and quality of life.

Having completed a strategic review of the organisation in 2011/12 with both external consultancy assistance (kindly funded by the Henry Smith Charity) and a sequence of visits to other charities, the Trustees set about implementation. Key to this was the appointment of a part time Chief Executive Officer, as a successor to Gill Jackson, and the preparation of a Business Plan for the development of Dyscover as a sustainable organisation in a changing environment. The Business Plan has five strategic objectives:

n To increase the number of people with Aphasia that we offer services to.

n To develop and expand our core service and special interest activities programme.

n To raise awareness of Aphasia through workshops and presentations.

n To build and develop integrated services through partnerships with other organisations.

n To build and develop a strong and sustainable organisation.

We have been fortunate in recruiting Lynne Bainbridge as our new Chief Executive Officer from the beginning of February this year. Lynne has led substantial development at Age UK Merton over the past ten years and has real experience in the identification of service user’s requirements and the design of services to deliver them. The challenge for Dyscover, as a small organisation , is to evolve both the partnerships with other organisations and the range of services that our future service users may require.

Note: Current TerminologySince our formation we have used the word dysphasia (hence our name Dyscover) as a general term to describe the condition of loss of language as a result of stroke, head injury or other illness. Historically the term Aphasia was only used to describe the most severe form of the condition where there is total loss of language. Current practice in national, academic and research organisations is to use the term Aphasia to describe the whole range of language impairment from severe to mild. We have decided to follow the trend in the professional and academic fields and use the term Aphasia.

Chairman’s Report Staff, Volunteers and Governance Transition would be impossible without the support and flexibility of staff and volunteers. Rosemary Townsend and the Speech & Language Therapists (SALTs) have adapted to the new requirements and rigours of the assessment system brought in as a result of the Big Lottery Fund grant.

At the end of a previous grant from the Big Lottery Fund in September 2012, Marilyn George took on the part time Volunteer Co-ordinator’s role and we have seen a steady increase in the number of volunteers giving their time, energy and skills to Dyscover.

Gill Jackson carried us through the majority of the year as our Executive Director. We celebrated her achievements in February. She joins us as a Trustee and continues to promote Dyscover.

Beneficiaries In a recent review of referrals it was evident that the overwhelming majority of our beneficiaries are still being referred to us either by their Speech and Language Therapist or by a family member. In a bid to increase awareness of Dyscover amongst a wider range of potential referrers, our Manager of Professional Services has led a Community Referrers Project, actively engaging with outside organisations, both in the statutory and voluntary sector.

Our membership continues to be drawn from right across the county of Surrey, and extending into West Sussex and Hampshire – an indication of the need for and value of the services we provide for people with Aphasia and their supporters. In addition, the expansion of our Kingston group, now running across 2 sessions on a Tuesday, is enabling us to meet the needs of a wider number of people with Aphasia living in the borough.

Awareness and Activities. The Community Aphasia Awareness Project (CAAP). A group of people with Aphasia ably led by Mike Cutler, undertook a demanding series of presentations to local community groups through which they aim to raise awareness of Aphasia.

In October 2012, a public awareness raising event in Epsom’s Ashley Centre, was held jointly with the Stroke Association and in November an education session at Surrey University raised the profile further when other group members again took a central role in giving first-hand accounts of Aphasia, and its impact on their lives.

Aphasia Surrey One Stop Shop (ASOSS). Assessment using the ALA, and time spent in discussion with individuals, has helped members to identify personal goals or challenges, which we can encourage and support them to achieve Hospital. At present 80% of our beneficiaries are engaged in the ASOSS project and goals achieved range from rejoining the local library (to borrow ‘quick read’ books) to preparing a wedding speech as ‘father of the bride’.

We have also introduced to beneficiaries and their relatives the idea of stepping up individuals’ participation and involvement, both within and outside Dyscover. Depending on ability, this might be in a small way, like Bob, who agreed to try the Dyscover singing group, or something much larger such as Bill’s regular volunteering on a stroke information stand at East Surrey Hospital.

Information Technology (IT). In our experience, people with Aphasia respond best to individualised support when it comes to regaining IT skills. In May and June 2012, five people with Aphasia each supported by a Dyscover volunteer attended an eight week IT Clinic. The clinic led by one of our SALTs achieved its aims of identifying the barriers which exist for people with Aphasia when trying to access IT; exploring IT in a functional way, and introducing people to the newer, more accessible technology offered by the iPad. This activity was made possible with financial support from the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia.

Family Support. We have chosen the Adult Carers Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQoL), a new assessment tool produced by Nottingham University to survey the family carers who support our Dyscover members in order to gain a better understanding of their needs.

In the Spring of 2013 we undertook our first survey using this tool; we were delighted to have a response rate of 62% and results indicate that 75% of carers who responded rate their quality of life as in the mid rather than high range. Specific areas of difficulty identified included poor support from health professionals and restricted opportunity for choice and personal growth as a result of having to take on a caring role. We will be using this information to further develop our family support initiatives.

Art Group Exhibition and Mayor of Kingston’s visit. Members from the Kingston group enjoy art sessions led by Fran O’Brien, a professional artist with particular experience in working with people who have disabilities. In November 2012 an exhibition of their work was held and we were delighted to welcome the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston who was guest of honour. The exhibition was re-staged in January 2013 for family and friends of Dyscover at Walton on the Hill.

Awards for All. October saw the end to this year long project, funded by Awards for All, aimed at offering a variety of special interest sessions, activities and outings to our service users outside the regular conversation groups.

Analysis at the end of the project has indicated that participants have been able to increase their contact both with us and with each other. The funding also meant we could keep the cost of these sessions low, resulting in higher take up and accessible transport has also ensured that the programme was available to all.

We also used the funding to ‘test the waters’ in some new areas such as Information Technology (IT). A visit to the Apple store for some participants led to the provision of an 8 week IT clinic where individuals were helped to develop their skills and confidence with iPads. We should not forget that our trip to the Paralympics athletics event was also made possible with this money. This was a truly wonderful lifetime experience for all those lucky enough to go.

Project 28 – Photography CourseThis course named, Project 28 captured 28 days in an individual’s life – with the participants taking one photograph per day for 28 days. Discussions were held with critique from a professional photographer, Natalie Collins, on everyone’s photographs, which were shared among the group. Through conversation and learning photography skills based around the three main subjects of portraiture, landscape and still life, the course produced a digital photo record for each participant and a combined book for Dyscover, which has been admired by many!

VolunteeringThe third and final year of the Specialist Support & Volunteer Development Project funded by the Big Lottery Fund, was successfully taken to completion stage in September 2012 by Laura Garnett. Marilyn George has since taken over the role of Volunteer Co-ordinator; she is delighted to have recruited 4 new volunteers enabling the second Kingston group to start in November 2012. Volunteers are also assisting with one to one related goals with members, in addition to their group role.

A half day Aphasia training session was held in the Easter holidays for students interested in Dyscover’s work and it is hoped that some of these students will take up opportunities for volunteering at the summer activities.

We are becoming increasingly aware that some of our members are unable to access Dyscover Centres due to transport difficulties and Marilyn is looking into the possibility of setting up a volunteer driver scheme to enable members to access our much valued services. We are consulting with Surrey Community Action which is highly experienced in setting up such schemes village-wide in Surrey and we hope to have a volunteer driver scheme up and running by our next report.

Review of the Financial ActivitiesAnalysis of income

Revenues from donations and grants decreased this year over the previous year’s levels reflecting the continuing poor state of the British economy adversely affecting the grant making trusts. The Total Incoming Resources for the year were £132,548. Total Resources Expended during the year decreased to £150,043 of which

£135,692 was spent on Charitable Activities, £10,949 was the Cost of Generating Funds and £3,402 was the cost of Governance. This resulted in an overall deficit of £17,495, all of which was as a result of the expenditure on restricted funds including balances brought forward from the previous year.

Overall funds carried forward at 31st March 2013 stood at £87,755 representing a little over six months of the forecast total expenditure for the current year. Additional revenues will be required to comply with the Trustee Policy of retaining a fund equivalent to between 6 and 12 months expenditure and great effort is being applied to increase fundraising to ensure the sustainability of Dyscover for the future.

Chairman’s Report

The FutureDyscover is mindful of the changing environment within the voluntary sector and the similar transformation occurring in health and social care. This evolution brings the twin challenges of large scale restructuring and revised funding for those statutory organisations. These changes impact on Dyscover both directly as a service provider and indirectly through the experiences of our service users and those who support them.

This transformation in statutory health and social care is predicated on:

n creating greater independence for the individual

n reducing dependence on statutory services

n giving greater flexibility in the delivery and receipt of those services

n services being delivered closer to home

n greater joint commissioning of health and social care in an effort to reduce costs and improve value for money.

It is, therefore, vital that our ongoing development responds to these changes as the voluntary sector is being asked to work increasingly in partnership/consortia to deliver a seamless service

both with the statutory sector or each other and to do this whilst facing the current challenges in funding.

So how can we best respond to this at Dyscover? Firstly by listening to what our service users and those that care for them want and need. Secondly engaging with and hearing what partners and commissioners are saying. Only by doing these two things can we fulfill the aims of Dyscover’s strategic plan and successfully deliver our services to people with Aphasia.

We are committed to increasing our presence in the community and keen to develop a local network for Dyscover; increasing the number of people that we can offer our services to and the frequency of their engagement.

We are exploring how to engage the wider community to encourage awareness of Aphasia both in our home area and nationally through our membership of the Aphasia Alliance Network.

We will devote time to building partnerships with other colleagues in the statutory and voluntary sectors as well as developing our links with businesses. We will be mindful of cost and the necessity to deliver sustainability whilst continuing to deliver the high quality service that is expected.

Our Thanks

The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone who has so generously supported the services and activities offered at Dyscover.

This includes the volunteer hours “donated” by many people, including the Board of Trustees and regular voluntary helpers at the weekly support sessions or the social activities and trips. We also wish to recognise the support of our Patron – Nicholas Owen.

It is impossible to express the financial benefit of this generosity but it is, without question, this level of support that allows Dyscover to provide such a professional service to our aphasic members.

The Trustees remain grateful to the staff and volunteers for their flexibility; support and constant focus on our core purpose of providing long term support and opportunities for people with Aphasia.

Review of the Financial ActivitiesWe are very grateful for the generous donations made by individuals during the year, which totalled £13,064.

We would also like to thank all those who took part in sponsored events which raised £1,920. The value of the donations and sponsorship has been significantly increased by the willingness of individuals to complete Gift Aid declarations and this is much appreciated.

Those involved with fundraising events have continued their good work this year and there have been several successful events. These include the Ashtead Village Fair, Walton Village Day, Richmond Fair, a Bridge Drive, and a very successful Raffle at the Christmas Party. Our thanks go to all those who have given their time and support to make these and other events possible.

Once again our thanks are due to David Smith for his hard work in the successful running of the Top Draw Club and to the generous support of its many members; £2,500 has been raised during the year. The Top Draw Club is a quarterly prize draw competition regulated under the provisions of the Lotteries and Amusement Act 1976 (section 5).

The donations from local clubs and societies continue to be a valuable source of income amounting to £10,948 and their generosity is much appreciated. We should also like to thank all the Trusts and local companies that have supported us for their generous support during the year. A detailed list is to be found at the end of this document.

The accounts distinguish between Restricted and Unrestricted Funds and indicate the amounts expended during the period in each category. This distinction is more fully explained in Note 1 to the Accounts.

Risk Management and Internal Control

The Trustees have continued to assess the major risks to which Dyscover is exposed. The Board are satisfied that Dyscover has established review systems that under normal circumstances, should allow these risks to be managed and mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations.

The Board delegates the detailed consideration of risks faced to the Chief Executive and Managers of Dyscover, who regularly report to the Board of Trustees. The Board maintains and monitors an established system of financial controls appropriate to the size and nature of the organisation, including budgetary control and reviewing the annual budget. Particular attention is paid to the balance between income and expenditure and the amount necessary to be retained in reserves.

We have a regular review schedule of Dyscover’s policies and procedures including: health and safety, equalities and diversity, recruitment and selection, as well as the services provided by Dyscover, with a view to mitigating any associated risks.

Independent ExaminerA resolution proposing that Peter P Earle FCA of Menzies LLP, be reappointed as independent examiner of the Charity will be put to the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Statement of Trustees’ ResponsibilitiesCompany Law requires the Directors, who are also the Charity’s Trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

n select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

n make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent;

n state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

n prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue on that basis.

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has appropriate systems of control, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Acts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity including taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Public BenefitDyscover’s charitable activities focus on providing long-term support and opportunities for people with Aphasia and their families. The Charity has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set and they value the continuance of robust impact reporting to substantiate the outcomes.

Notes to the accounts

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year ended 31st March 2013

1. Accounting PoliciesBasis of AccountingThe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008) and the Companies Act 2006. In preparing the financial statements the Charity follows best practice as laid down in the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in March 2005.

Depreciation PolicyProvision for depreciation of fixed assets held for use by the Charity is made at annual rates calculated to spread the cost (less anticipated residual disposal value) of each asset evenly over its expected life. The depreciation rate currently in use for Furniture and Fittings is 20% on cost. Equipment acquired by using Restricted Funds is written off in full in the year of purchase.

Funds AccountingRestricted Funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. Any expenditure incurred on a specific project in excess of restricted funds available will be treated as expenditure from Unrestricted Funds.

Unrestricted Funds are Accumulated Funds that are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for any other purposes.

Incoming ResourcesAll incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when received. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

Resources ExpendedExpenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability as incurred and includes any VAT which cannot be recovered which is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Governance costs include those costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the fees of the independent examiner and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on the basis of actual costs incurred on a particular activity, thereby reflecting the use of the resource.

2. Trustees’ Remuneration and Expenses

No remuneration directly or indirectly out of funds of the Charity was paid or payable for the period to any Trustee or to any person or persons known to be connected with any of them.

No reimbursement of expenses has been made or is due to be made to any of the Trustees in respect of the period.

The Charity has put in place Trustee Indemnity insurance as part of its overall indemnity insurance at an annual premium including Insurance Premium Tax of £431 (2011: £403).

3. TaxationAs a registered charity, Dyscover Ltd is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these may be applied to its charitable objects.

Accountants’ Report

I report on the accounts of the Company for the year ended

31st March 2013 which are set out on pages 9 – 13.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Dyscover Limited

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and ExaminerThe Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

n Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act)

n Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

n State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s ReportMy 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 in the seeking of explanations from 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s StatementIn 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:a) to keep accounting records in

accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and

b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
