The Trustees hold full responsibility for. the activities of the charity and the power to appoint new Trustees lies with the

Trustees m office at the time. The Trustee Board regulady reviews its membership to ensure that it has a balance of health

professionals and people affected by cleft and that it has the necessary skills to fulfil its duties. In March 2014 the Board

agreed to introduce a maximum term of office of two terms of three years. IE during their second term a Trustee is

appointed as Chair of CLAPA then they can remairi a Trustee until they have served a maximum of three years as Chair.

Those Trustees who had already served more than 6 years when this was introduced wig stagger their resignations over. the

next 2 years to avoid too many vacancies at one ume.

Vacancies are advertised throiigh CLAPA. publications such as the e-newsletters, Pacebook page and website and applicants

are sent further information with the application form. Candidates are shortlisted and then interviewed by members of the

Trustee Board. References are taken up and appointments are made at one of the quarterly Board meetings and con6rmed

at the following AGM.

On appointment, Trustees are sent information about CLAPA, mcluding its strategic and operational plan and Charity

Conumssion materials about the role of a Tmstee. Trustees are required to visit the of6ce to meet the staff team uutlun four

months of becoming a Trustee, they are also required to attend the Annual CLAPA Conference and attend formal training

on the role of Trustee.

None of the Trustees has any bene6cial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and

Each year the Trustees hold an 'Away Day' which includes the AGM. This is an opportunity Eor the Trustees and staff team

to review the strategy and the activities of the last year and start to plan for the next year. In 2013 the Board particularly

focused on CLAPA. 's Communication Strategy.

Members of CLAPA are invited to contubute to CI %PA's strategy through online surveys, direct communicauon and the

CLAPA Adult Voices Council and Children and Young People's Council (which both meet four times a year).

CLU A currently (july 2014) has 8 salaried staff members of whom 6 (2 part-time) are employed at our office in London

and 2 are home based. By October 2014 CLAPA will have appointed another 3 full-time staff members (2 home based).

Overall it's CLAPA's mtention to mcrease local support by securmg Eundmg for a team of 9 Regional Coonhnators across

the UK by 2017 (funding for 3 secured to date).

The number of volunteer run Branches has increased from 9 to 12 and 7 Happy Faces groups were established during the

year. All CLAPA volunteers attend induction traimng before thev start volunteering and addiuonal triuning for roles such as

Parent Contacts; in 2013-14 47 new Volunteers were trained.

The Trustees have approved a Risk Assessment Eor the Charity, assessing the major asks to which the Chanty is exposed

and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. At each Board meeting they review a

sample of the risk management policies and procedures produced by the Charity.

CLEPT LIP AND PALATE ASSOCIATION

(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUA~TEE)TRUSTEES' REPQRTEOJE THE YEAR ENDED 3J /jrJAJfCH20J4

The Trustees have chosen to focus on developing a network of local support Eor people affected by cleft lip and/or palate

by employing Regional Coordinators working in different regions of the LK and by delivering local acnvtties such as

restdential weekends. During the year the Chanty received restricted donations from St James Place Trust and continued to

use restricted funds from the Smiletrain, the Big Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, and Children in Need. All these

donations were to support CLAPA. 's work in developtng local support for people (see note 14).

In 2013/14 CLAPA achieved the following agatnst our Operauonal Plan:

1. INVOLVE: actively grow our membership and encourage their participauon in relevant bodies, groups and research

programmes:

Annual conference in October 2013 on the theme of outcomes& titled "What does good look llikeyu The

conference was held in Glasgow and also streamed live online. We had 69 delegates at the conference and 173

Eollowutg it online. There was a good mix of both people affected by cleft and health professionals at the

conference. "An excellent balance of presentations between the personal and professionaL The subject got right to

the heart of what cleft care should offer;" (parent of a child with a cleft)

~ Promoting and engaging membership. hlembership grew by 25% to 11,019. Membership was promoted on

our website, Facebook and through our starter packs to new families. We regulady communiicated with postal

members to encourage them to sign up for online communicauons. We engaged with membershtp through

regular e-newsletters, our active Facebook pages, online polls and surveys (14% response rate). Next year we are

aiming to tncrease total memberstup and also the proportion of online members and members from Black and

Minority Ethnic Gmups.

~ CLAPA Awareness week on the theme of buflying. The Awareness Week mtcrosite had 5,500 views, our

children*s website had a 500% surge in traffic and over 14,000 people mewed our posts on facebook. Carmit

Bachar's interest in CL1PA saw a lot of extra publicity and press enquiries and her video for children and young

people was very wefl received. 18 articles about or surrounding Awareness Week appeared m local and national

press and 900 posters were distrtbuted. The theme of bullying was picked up on and led to the production of a

vtdeo on the toptc and Awareness Week contributed to us exceeding our target for individual giving fundraiung.

a Database upgrade to integrate the CLAPA databases so that we can improve our knotvledge of and

communication with our members and other stakeholder's. We introduced a new Salesforce based dambase

0argely written in house) to integrate all our databases and tmprove efflciency and communication.

2. SUPPORT all those affected by cleft in a timdy, relevant and meaningful way via CLAPA's infonuation and Eeeding

eqmpment provision, and through our regional and social media network

Branch Strategy agreed and implemented by June 2013. CI %PA introduced the Regional Fund which holds

all the income generated locally by Branches and volunteers. The aim of the fund is to encourage collaboration

between Branches, more spending on local activities and more activities in areas that don't have Branches. 3 new

Branches were launched.

~ Timely and accmate infonuation in a range of media is available at key stages of development, taking

into account information already produced by Cleft Teams and othet charities. CLAPA. continues to hold

the Information Standard and the website and information booldets are recommended by cleft nurses as a reliable

somce of informadon for new parents. Leaflets are available m print or to dovrnload from the website.

involvement from supporters who receive infounation about CLt PA through to tratned volunteers providing

Financial Revieu

Figures m brackets are the hgures Eor the financial year 2012-13.

The Statement of Financial Activrues shows total reserves amounting to $303,302 (O11,903) with a net deficit of resources

for the year of $8,601 LE44,522) as disclosed in the Einancial statement. The degcit was due to planned investment of

CLAPA reserves on an unproved database. This was also the first year of the new designated Regional Fund, designed to

promote local activity across the UK, including those parts of the country that do not have their own Branches. The total

deficit includes a deficit of $4,300 on this fund tluough suppomng newly established Branches wluch have not yet had the

opportunity to Eundraise.

Voluntary income continues to uicrease with Donations and Legacies of $326,481 +258,058) and in 2014-15 the Trustees

have agreed to invest further in Trust and Crrant fundriusing to support the new Regional Coordinator project and to

increase unrestricted funds.

Dunng the year CLAPA. continued to use Restucted Funds from St James Place, Smdetrain, Cluldren in Need and the Big

Lottery Fund to provide regional services.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds wtuch have not been designated for a speci6c use should be maintained

at a level equivalent to nx month's expenditure. The Tmstees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event

of a signigcant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to

ways in which additional funds may be raised. At the year-end reserves were 5.25 months, the Trustees have agreed tins is

acceptable and are monitoring the simation.

Disclosure of information to audiitors

Each of the Trustees has con6rmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but

oE which the auditor is unaware. They have further congrmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such

relevant information and to establish that the audttors are aware of such utfonuation.
