## **Trustees' Report**
We can confirm the CADAS charity’s trustees ‘have regard’ to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance in their governance of the organisation.
Between April 2022 and March 2023 the charity has continued to offer the following core services countywide:
- **CADAS: Adult Recovery** (for people over 18 affected by their own problematic substance use or
- • harmful addictive behaviour) – individual programmes of support for up to 12 weeks plus access to long term peer support groups.
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been the growth of our peer support group network and the establishment of groups in Millom and Penrith.
- **CADAS: Family and Friends** (for people affected by someone else’s problematic substance use or
- • harmful addictive behaviour) – individual programmes of support for up to 12 weeks plus access to long term peer support groups.
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been sustaining our peer support groups in both Cumberland and Westmorland whilst developing a virtual group online.
- **CADAS: Young People** (this covers support to individual young people affected by their own
- • problematic substance use or harmful addictive behaviour as well as the proactive delivery of educational material to young people in partnership with local schools and youth groups).
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been the social action projects delivered
- • by the CADAS team which resulted in a number of young people achieving RSPH accredited Level 2 awards as Young Health Champions who have gone on to promote health and wellbeing in their local communities.
- **CADAS: Training** (this is the education of professionals from education/health and social care
- • sectors) – we offer a range of courses to help other agencies and their staff support their clients with issues relating to mental health, addiction, substance use, gambling etc.
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been delivering drug/alcohol championing training to over 150 individuals throughout the county.
- **CADAS: At Work** (this service is aimed at providing employers support on any area relating to
- • mental health, addiction, substance use and HR or H&S) – there are three main products, policy consultation, staff training and 1:1 support for employees affected by their own problematic substance use or harmful addictive behaviour.
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been securing support from Story
- • Contracting to help us develop our social enterprising offer and the delivery of drug and alcohol awareness sessions to over one thousand shop floor employees and apprentices from BAE, Jacobs and Mitie.
- **CADAS: Health Promotion** (this is our prevention service aimed at the general population) and
- • involves us actively engaging the community at local events as well as the promotion of digital campaigns online.
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been in the increase in grants supporting
- • this style of work which has enabled us to engage with hundreds of people from Cumbrian communities on their alcohol use.
- **CADAS: Helpline** (a freephone helpline and call back service for anyone affected by their own or someone else’s problematic substance use or harmful addictive behaviour).
- The most significant achievement for this service this year has been to stay open until 7pm on a Wednesday improving access for people who cannot easily call during the day.

## **Trustees' Report**
In addition to core services, the charity has had the opportunity to create pilots and/or collaborate with other partners on programmes that add value to our core menu and between April 2022 and March 2023 has worked on the following:
**Building Better Opportunities My Future Barrow and South Lakeland –** an ESF and The National Lottery funded project led by Cumbria CVS involving several local partners like ourselves that focuses on supporting the complex cohort of people furthest away from the labour market. CADAS has two full time keyworkers who manage their own caseload of clients to take steps toward training, job search or employment.
**West Cumbria family Support** – a pilot programme where we support families with children on the edge of care. By supporting the parent with their substance use issue we are able to keep the family together when that is best and prevent the child from entering the care system as we also work on parenting skills, shared language etc.
**IPED Awareness** – Image Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) are not always illegal but they are not always openly talked about so there are issues relating to harmful habits we are working to address here in Cumbria. Our project focuses specifically on steroids (as opposed to all IPEDs such as slimming or tanning pills) and providing education and awareness as well as access to safer equipment and disposal advice.
The accounts for the year ended 31st March 2023 show the charity to be in a strong position financially.
Both income and expenditure have increased significantly. Income is up 38% at £558,000 and expenditure is up 12% at £536,000 reflecting increase charitable activity and we currently expect this growth to continue in the current year.
Unrestricted funds stand unchanged at £224,000. The fund benefitted from the sale of our former Barrow offices for £80,000 which has boosted the Charity’s cash resources which, at the balance sheet date, stood at £426,000. The Trustees have agreed that the sum of £80,000 should be designated as a property reserve although there are currently no plans to replace Barrow with the operation currently relocated to rented premises.
Restricted funds have increased from £107,000 to £129,000 which gives a good level of funding for charitable activities going forward into the current year.
With increases in activity staff costs have increased 22% to £383,000 and this is budgeted to increase again in the current year.
As CADAS is still almost entirely grant funded, the availability of grant funding is always a concern but at present we have confidence that funding is available for further expansion over the foreseeable future.
## **Reserves**
Our aim is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to enable normal, unfunded operating activity for up to a period of up to three months, should a shortfall in income occur, and to take account of potential risks from time to time. In addition, Trustees have set aside a designated property reserve of £80,000 to be used for dilapidations or financing of property for the benefit of the charitable aims, and a contingency reserve of £75,000 to be used in the event of closure of the charity. Our policy ensures CADAS can meet any unforeseen emergency expenditure or unexpected delay in any expected source of income.
## **Financial Risk**
The following are headings the financial management section of the charity’s risk register – a document considered quarterly by a sub group of the full board – The Finance and Risk Committee.
Page 5
## **Cumbria Addictions Advice and Solutions**
## **known as CADAS**
## **Trustees' Report**
- Ineffective budgeting and cash flow management
- Failure of income generation functions
- Ineffective management of reserves
- Financial loss through fraud or error
- Inadequate insurance cover – assets and liability risk to visitors
- Inadequate procurement procedures
- Failure to meet pension requirements and contributions
- Increasing lack of funds available from traditional sources
Risk mitigation activities include:
- Budgeting, cash flow, the production of management accounts, financial forward planning scrutiny by senior managers and The Finance and Risk Committee
- The use of full cost recovery principles when applying for funding
- Active oversight of unrestricted income levels
- Procedures for vetting staff/bank signatories and finance transaction procedures
- Annual review of insurance requirements and cover
- Financial security targets included in broader strategic plans
We only allow funds to end the financial year in deficit if there is an administration delay. Sometimes a fund meets a delay (attributable to ourselves if we delay a report or request an extension or to our funder which is often a capacity issue at their end) but often there is a small deficit as a result of retrospective funding. A growing number of funders do not release a final payment until the full project has conclude and the report filed. Some grant agreement arrangements are also fully retrospective.
We do not hold funds for third parties.
## **Future Plans**
2022-2023 was the first full year of a 3-year planning cycle from 2022-2025.
## **CURRENT STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES - 2022-2025:**
We have prioritised four overarching objectives (shaped by need, our progress to date and the external environment) to help us fulfil our ambitions:
1. Drive a **prevention** agenda
2. Focus on **early** harm reduction **interventions**
3. Facilitate greater support options and ensure **choice**
4. Prioritise organisational **sustainability** to secure longevity
By focusing our energies relating to the support of schools and youth groups in a more strategic manner, we hope to:
- Disrupt the poor practice we are seeing and raise the quality of curriculum-based education across the board.
Page 6
## **Cumbria Addictions Advice and Solutions**
## **known as CADAS**
## **Trustees' Report**
- Support those schools/youth clubs and professionals that are doing a great job embedding basic
- • sessions into their annual curriculum by providing them with higher level/specialist resources and encouraging them to build this type of education into other curriculum areas as well as PSHE.
- Find a way of delivering to schools in a well-planned, long-term manner – developing partnerships that cover our costs using income raised from fundraising such as non-uniform days.
- Help schools become safer places, enabling them to tackle drug use and sales onsite.
- Give thousands of young people a better experience when it comes to substances and addictive
- • behaviour education so that they have the skills to make their own informed choices (and look after their peers) when they find themselves in risky situations.
- Enable young people to limit their experience of risk-taking behaviour to their adolescence – educating
- • them sufficiently so that they do not develop addictive behaviours as part of their coping strategies they then take into adulthood.
- Prevent young people coming to addiction relate harm, in later adolescence/adulthood or if they do –
- • enable them to ask for help more quickly as they recall CADAS is an organisation that can signpost them to help.
By engaging with adults in the general population on relevant topics and by delivering non-patronising and engaging population health education and brief interventions we hope to:
- Provide adults with education and messaging that impacts their immediate/later life health.
- Makes a difference for individual people.
- Contribute to the public purse in terms of substance use/addiction related comorbidities by slowing down someone’s journey to ill health or providing them with an alternative, healthier path.
- Find a way of earning/raising income that enables our visible, community-based population health work to cover its own costs.
By proactively championing early intervention and prevention by growing CADAS: Workplace and seeking to turn our West Cumbria Family Support pilot into a countywide service funded by the statutory authorities we hope to:
- Prevent families from breaking down, prevent children from entering the care system.
- Support people to keep their jobs.
- Encourage funders to recognise the value of early intervention/prevention and commit to funding lower-level activity, not just the extremely vulnerable.
- Support children with problematic behaviours/substance use develop different coping strategies so that they do not return as adult clients.
By growing our own services and increasing our own reach as well as supporting the work of others we hope to:
- Build and maintain strong relationships and partnerships with other drug/alcohol and addiction agencies.
- Inspire and support more generalist community services to understand/offer addiction support in their
- • work via professional training (e.g. housing/homelessness, women’s centres, children and family centres).
- Create more opportunities for support and reach more people – in geographical places, online, and
- • targeted toward groups we know may be underserved such as care leavers, LGBTQ+ community, pregnant mothers, the deaf community for example.
Page 7
## **Cumbria Addictions Advice and Solutions**
## **known as CADAS**
## **Trustees' Report**
- Have appropriately sized core CADAS services in all areas of the county (avoiding a postcode lottery for potential clients).
- Have waiting list times that feel acceptable and ensure CADAS clients are seen in a timely manner.
By making sustainability a priority we hope to:
- Increase the percentage of (unrestricted) earned and raised income.
- Maintain our ability to secure grants to the value of £500k per annum to help us meet our growth agenda.
- Sufficiently fund a centralised core team that supports delivery staff out in communities.
- Develop and deliver paid for services that are commercially viable.
- Expand our repertoire of support across a range of harmful addictions that will enable us to bring in more restricted funds.
- Grow the contribution of volunteers in roles so as to raise the impact of their ‘in kind’ contributions – ultimately enabling the charity to support more clients
6. **Additional information**
We would like to share our heartfelt gratitude with the wide range of stakeholders and supporters (commissioners, funders, staff, volunteers, local businesses and elected members) who give their time, their energy or their funds to CADAS enabling us to support the community in the way that we do.

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your charity’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 and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, 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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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 accounts 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Cumbria Addictions Advice and Solutions meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
## _**Investment income**_
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

## **known as CADAS**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Computer equipment 33% straight line Furniture & equipment 20% reducing balance
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
