REDBRIDGE RESPITE CARE ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees, who are also members and directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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) published on 16 July 2014.

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The charitable company was incorporated on 24 October 1990 and became a registered charity on 10 May 1991. Its objectives are to provide a service in support of persons suffering from mental illness who live in the London Borough of Redbridge and surrounding local authorities by providing staff who will enable the relatives, friends and others who have the primary responsibility for supporting such persons to have temporary relief from their responsibilities on a regular basis and thereby to enhance the stability and quality of the living environment of such persons (ii) to relieve or assist in the relief of people who are suffering, have suffered, or are at risk of suffering from any form of mental illness by providing, or contributing to the provision of, such services as may, from time to time, be considered appropriate

We employ fully trained support workers who provide care and information tailored to peoples’ needs, which includes support at home and a day centre for people living with dementia. Our services are free of charge for Redbridge residents. For people living outside Redbridge, we provide services at competitive rates.

We support people with mental health issues, including people living with dementia, through personally targeted support, tailored to their needs, thus providing independence and well-being.

We also provide respite services to the carers of people with mental health problems living in the community.

The charity’s trustees have complied with their duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Organisation, Structure and Governance

Redbridge Respite Care Association is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association (revised October 2023). The trustees and directors are listed on page 1.

The charitable company is managed by the Management Committee which comprises all the trustees/directors and has the power to appoint trustees/directors at any time. The maximum number of committee members is twelve and the minimum three. All members retire at every Annual General Meeting and are eligible for re-election.

The charity’s Service Manager also attends the Management Committee meetings.

REDBRIDGE RESPITE CARE ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Chairperson’s Report

Our main funder remains the London Borough of Redbridge and the bulk of the funding goes towards providing the Day Centre, enabling carers to receive respite from their caring duties and also outreach support with those recovering from mental health issues. Our independent fund-raising efforts have been successful and allowed us to offer extra facilities to carers which are overseen by our project manager, these are usually short-term services lasting one to three years.

We continue to maintain the fabric of the premises, we rent and upgrade appliances as necessary for the comfort of our service users, this includes a new dishwasher. Our landlord has been unwell, and his affairs are currently being handled by his daughter. Displays are frequently changed to reflect the seasons and special occasions which are used to stimulate our clients.

Having got us back to a sound financial position our treasurer has stood down due to health reasons but thankfully will stay on as a trustee.

By restructuring the role, we now have a bookkeeper who will oversee our finances. We are still finding it very difficult to recruit new trustees, but we were joined mid-year by Mr. Phil Ferguson, a person known by our secretary and bookkeeper.

The service manager continues to make sure that staff training and certification is kept up to date and maintains a presence at healthcare events in and around our Borough. New contracts make sure that staff receive at least the new rates of London living wage despite getting no uplift from our council contract which is often extended rather than re-negotiated meaning that funding is soon at unrealistic levels for the expected service. This has happened again and so we have made changes which mean we will not run at a loss.

By using our funds wisely and carefully we are trying to accrue a closure fund which will be used to cover costs should we cease to operate which is something we used to have but which got used when we had financial difficulties a few years ago. Our current accountancy service agrees this is a good idea, although it will take some time to achieve.

There have been discussions with Barking & Dagenham council regarding the adjoining building which is being refurbished and is expected to open later in 2025 as a youth centre; the surrounding area is also being refurbished and we asked if it were possible to have a dropped kerb making access easier for our clients but are still awaiting a decision. Concerns were raised regarding government proposals about zero hours' contracts but as there are no changes at the moment this will be closely monitored.

Our Memorandum & Articles were finally updated and agreed and were uploaded. It was agreed that when holding online meetings in future we would use Teams as it was deemed more secure. We also agreed to meet on a bimonthly basis from September onwards as this would be less onerous for Trustees and staff alike, it was also hoped it would make attracting new trustees easier.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees I thank our staff and service manager for all their hard work throughout the past year and look forward to working with them all as we go forward in the future.

REDBRIDGE RESPITE CARE ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Service Manager’s Report

Redbridge Respite Care Association has had another triumphant year.

We continue to provide respite and support to those who need it within our community and surrounding boroughs. We provide a dementia day centre four days a week for those diagnosed in Redbridge and we provide an outreach service for 2.5 hours each week in the homes of those who have dementia and mental health.

We resume to work closely alongside voluntary organisations, social prescribing teams, GP surgeries, NELFT, memory service, social workers, local communities and event organisers. We continue to receive a high number of referrals on a daily basis for our much need services.

Throughout the year we have attended numerous events to promote our much-needed services and to meet the local community. This gives us a great insight into what the community needs and wants.

We continue to provide our service users and local community with newsletters throughout the year keeping them updated on local events, updates on services and new projects we are providing as well as what we have been up to giving carers a look at what their loved ones have been doing while receiving our services.

As a charity we provided a trip to Brighton in the summer for service users and carers this was enjoyed by all. Carers enjoyed spending the day with their loved with the safe knowledge knowing that support staff are their if help is needed. Service users and carers enjoyed a walk on the beach, eating out at a restaurant and enjoyed the sights.

Our support workers continued to take our service users out for the day to bowling, the lake to feed the ducks, pub lunches for a 3-course meal, walks to the local parks to use the gym equipment. In the day centre service users enjoyed making festival decorations, pizza making, baking cakes, making homemade pizzas, having relaxing hand massages, having their nails painted and joining in with armchair based exercises.

Through the year we have held BBQs outside the day centre for our service users sitting under a gazebo listening to music enjoying fresh cooked BBQ food. All festivals are celebrated in the day centre this can involve making decorations, putting decorations up and eating certain foods which relate to that festival.

We fundraised for a dishwasher in the day centre and are happy to say we received all funds within two weeks. This dishwasher has made a huge difference for the day centre and is used daily.

We signed up to Redbridge Lottery which allows carers to purchase tickets at only £1 to win amazing prizes. From each ticket purchased Redbridge Respite Care receives a percentage of funds raised.

Due to the sad passing of a service user in the day centre the family kindly organised a Go Fund Me page which was set up to donate to us instead of purchasing flowers. With this money raised we purchased two dining tables and eight dining chairs for our day centre as well as numerous activities for the day centre and outreach.

We organised a twenty-week programme from fit to fun to allow our service users to attend a golf session once a week with a trained coach. This was enjoyed by all as many of our service users used to play golf many years ago.

REDBRIDGE RESPITE CARE ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Our new bookkeeper set up a Just Giving page for our charity for past carers, service users and public to donate, we are very pleased to say so far, we have raised £555 and its still ongoing.

We continue to work alongside New City College providing placements for Health and social Care students. Throughout the year we have had 4 students working alongside our support staff giving the students experience, confidence and knowledge of those with dementia. All students completed their placement's which helped towards their course.

Volunteers are vital for our charity, and we continue to promote for new volunteers. We currently have 6 volunteers who help in the day centre and outreach. Roles of the volunteers range from cooking, engaging with activities, befriending services users in their homes and help fundraising for our charity.

A project which we applied for called Lunch & Laughter club for senior citizens in the borough of Barking & Dagenham came to an end August 2024. This project was extremely successful providing a warm place for those to attend and have a home cooked lunch provided as well as doing various activities on that day. This project allowed senior citizens to meet those within their community and make lifelong friends.

All staff and volunteers have completed relevant training and had refresher courses in both the day centre and outreach.

We received an extension for one year from London Borough of Redbridge from 1[st ] February 2025 till 31[st ] January 2026.

All projects are very successful supporting numerous carers and service users within the local community and surrounding boroughs.

I would like to thank all staff, volunteers, students and board of trustees for their dedication towards our charity and making it successful for another year.

Financial Review

The charity recorded a deficit for the year of £29,627 compared to a surplus of £15,116 in the previous year. This was principally the result of prior year restricted funding being utilised. Total income decreased by £71,074 or just over 22%, while total expenditure fell by £26,331 (8.5%).

Reserves Policy

At the year-end the charity had total funds of £98,802 of which £96,707 are unrestricted and £2,095 are restricted.

The trustees’ policy on reserves is to retain a Closure Reserve of £30,000 (representing funds earmarked to cover expenditure should the charity be forced to cease operation) and a General Reserve equivalent to three months operating costs (currently £70,000) to ensure an orderly winding down of services in the event funding was withdrawn.

Risk management

The trustees are responsible for identifying the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and ensuring that steps are taken to manage those risks.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding period.

(a) Basis of accounting and assessment of going concern

The financial statements of the charity 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 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of grants. Further details can be found in note 13.

(c) Income recognition

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts.

Investment income is included when receivable.

(d) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examiner's fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
