And with your support, we ll keep driving change across society until this country is great for everyone. 3
Changing society in 2013 / 14 2013 / 14 was a significant year for Scope with a number of important steps taken in our work to change society for the better. Reviewing our services portfolio against our strategy has been one major priority that is now well underway, with proposals for a number of our residential care homes announced. This has understandably been difficult for many people, but the review is absolutely necessary and we are investing in doing it the right way. Increasing the profile of disability issues and of Scope s work has been another important aim and End the Awkward, our first significant awareness-raising activity for many years, was planned throughout 2013 / 14 and launched in May 2014. Beyond these major projects, more and more of our work has been aligned with Changing Society, our ambitious strategy some of our achievements are detailed below. Overall, Scope remains in a strong position, financially and organisationally, to continue making a positive difference into the future. Some key achievements Living independently in the community We invested in personalisation training for customers and staff. Among other things, this means we can better support people to manage personal budgets. Our Britain Cares campaign attracted the support of over 121,000 people to support our argument on eligibility for care funding. We began to review our current services for disabled people and their families, particularly our residential care home portfolio. This led us to the decision to propose closure or significant change to around 11 of our more old-fashioned residential care homes. We are now consulting with, and supporting, everyone affected. 4
Fulfilling family lives Our Face 2 Face service, which supports parents of disabled children through befriending networks, was positively evaluated by an external agency (nfp Synergy), confirming the transformative impact of the service for parents of disabled children, particularly during times of pressure or crisis. Based on this, we decided to expand the service so we can support more families in this way. We also made began to grow our Sleep Solutions and fostering services. Learning and skills We particularly focused on further education, piloting new approaches to supporting young disabled adults in Carlisle and Blackpool. We launched the Learning Together Toolkit, a suite of teaching and classroom materials that provides teachers and classroom assistants with practical ways to make their lessons more inclusive. Work and volunteering We continued to deliver our Work Choice employment services, exceeding the targets we were set by the Department for Work and Pensions. We also worked in partnership with Mind and Marie Curie to develop and launch a voluntary work experience programme with Job Centre Plus. Our First Impressions, First Experiences project, a career training course for young disabled people living in East London, continued to deliver impressive outcomes and is something we are now looking to replicate in other areas. 5
Financial well-being We successfully tested an initiative to improve disabled people s skills in managing their finances, supported by Capital One and working with Disability Direct. We worked with npower to promote the Energy Companies Obligation initiative, helping to reduce fuel poverty among disabled people. We have started to develop specialist financial products, such as insurance, aimed specifically at the needs of disabled people whilst remaining fairly priced and providing appropriate cover. Disabled leaders and role models We increasingly ensured disabled people were at the centre of our communications. To support this, we invested in doing more to capture disabled people s real life experience through case studies and research. 6
Financial performance In 2013 / 14 we invested in key areas of work in order to take forward the delivery of our strategy. After a number of years of strong financial performance, we felt in a good position to do this and incurred a deficit after pension losses of 1,242,000 (2013: deficit 564,000), in line with budget expectations. Total income from voluntary fundraising (including grants) increased from 18.6 million to 20.7 million, an increase of 12 percent. Growth occurred in all areas of fundraising activity but particularly in events and individual giving, the latter as a result of the continued investment in the expansion of our individual giving recruitment programme which started in 2011 / 12. Gross income from our charity shop chain, 23.0 million, was 0.5 million higher this year. Trading was difficult during the first half of the year but picked up after Christmas with a very successful final quarter. Donated sales were up 3.3 percent ( 0.6 million). Shop numbers were slightly lower with 13 closures being offset by seven new openings. We also continued to invest in our shops, refitting nine and refreshing 22. Fee income, which is primarily earned from statutory funders for our services, at 54.9 million was 3.7 million below last year. As part of our ongoing services transformation programme, a number of services were closed. This was partly offset by successes in developing new services. Total expenditure on charitable activities was 71.3 million (2013: 70.8 million). 95 percent of this was on services that directly support our disabled customers to achieve choice, control, inclusion and independence in their lives. We continue to focus on delivering efficiencies in our services whilst improving service quality and safety. The expenditure on domiciliary, outreach and day services increased significantly as a result of Scope continuing to win new contracts for services. Volunteers have always been vital in delivering our work and bring their time, energy and enthusiasm to many activities in the organisation. We have over 9,000 volunteers across Scope. In our shops alone volunteers contributed over 1.6 million hours in time. Thank you to everyone who gave time or money or donations to support us over the last year. 7
