CHAIR’S FOREWORD

The year to end of March 2025 was successful on the operational front. Being There provided exceptional support to our clients across many areas of Greater Manchester. Generating greater value for our main funders.

More clients were helped, with enhanced services and a greater number of contact sessions were delivered both across Being There’s traditional service portfolio and the Being Heard counselling service.

The latter was delivered by two staff members, two fully qualified counsellors and 19 student counsellors. The service has demonstrated its value, and demand is continuing to grow. However, funding is insufficient and less secure than for our other services.

We have been able to grow the volunteer force by 31 people from 152 (in 23-24) to 183. There remains a need for continued focus on recruitment and training to meet the growing demand for our services.

Organisationally, there were significant changes and challenges during the year. Most notably, our long serving Chief Executive, Karen Mercer retired in August 2024. We were fortunate to be able to recruit Vikkey Chaffe as our new CEO. Whilst the recruitment process was completed successfully and expeditiously, there was an impact on performance during notice periods, handover and induction.

In the recruitment process, the Trustees reviewed the CEO’s role, concluding that the workload was too onerous for one person. In view of this, it was decided to appoint Becky Turner as Deputy CEO. This recognised both her work in the Senior Management Team and in developing the counselling service.

Paula Hewitt, South Branch Manager, also retired after many years of excellent service; Ambia Begum took over, moving from her previous role in the charity.

Unfortunately, funding is not keeping pace with inflation, statutory and funder requirements. This has a dramatic impact on finances. Increases in operating costs were not matched by funders. Changes announced in the 2024 budget on National Insurance charges will also have an impact from 2025-26. These challenges affect all charities and make bidding for funding increasingly more competitive.

Funding is an ever-present concern for the Trustees and Management Team. We are conscious of the dangers of relying on a small number of funders. Clearly, we need become more creative in finding sources of funding to maintain and grow our services, so, we have appointed a Grant and Fundraising Manager. These changes in personnel and roles will aid performance and prepare us for the future but increase costs in the short-term.

Steps are in hand to revise and streamline the interaction between the management team and the Trustees to aid effective and prompt decision making. The performance of the management of the charity has been recognised by external assessors such as Investors in People, Disability Aware Employer and Action together who awarded their Quality Action Mark.

Financially, the performance this year has not been as strong as in previous years with a deficit over the trading period being recorded. The income over the year was £412,256 (£444,300-in 2023-24) and the expenditure was £499,365 (£426, 444 in 2023-24). The deficit in this trading period was £87,109 compared with a surplus of £17,866 in 2023-24. This was in part due to a Board decision to maintain services in Tameside during a gap in funding, feeling that the impact of a break would be more detrimental. The deficit has been funded largely by drawing on reserves, which is obviously not viable in the long-term.

We are reducing the operating costs organisation by centralising accommodation, changing suppliers and sharing good practice. We anticipate that this and enhanced fund raising will allow a prompt return to a balanced budget.

We would be very grateful to members for any suggestions on how we might expand our fundraising activities.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my thanks to all staff and volunteers for their efforts in these challenging times. I also extend thanks to Peter Gichero for his support on the supervision of the accounting process.

We look forward to a challenging but successful 2025-26.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The Charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association.

Recruitment and Appointment of Directors and Trustees

The directors of the Charity are also trustees of the Charity. They are appointed in accordance with company law and the Charity’s articles of association.

The articles require one third of the directors to retire each year. A retiring director is eligible for re-election. Additional directors may be co-opted during the year but must stand for election at the Annual General Meeting.

Trustee Induction and Training

Trustees normally attend a Board of Trustees meeting prior to joining the Charity to meet their fellow trustees and are inducted by a long-standing trustee. They are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law and the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Visits to the Charity’s branches to meet staff and volunteers are encouraged. Any new Trustee will undergo a formal training programme.

Risk Management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. The major income source is from a number of different Greater Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups.

Organisational Structure

The Charity is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are responsible for formulating the strategy and policies for the Charity including the approval of budgets and the exercising of financial controls through regular financial reporting.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity is established to promote the relief and support of any person affected, directly or indirectly, by cancer in any form or any other life-limiting illness by:-

In deciding what activities the charity should undertake the trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The Charity operates from branches in Beswick (North/Central Manchester), Trafford, Salford Wythenshawe (South/Central Manchester) and Ashton-under-Lyne (Tameside) and through the telephone Listening Line on 0845 123 23 29.

The aim of the Charity is to achieve a high level of professionalism. Funding continues to be sought to support the central infrastructure to accelerate that process.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

2024/25

We continued to record and collect data for our statistics in line with relevant legislation, regulations and funder requirements. We ensure that we comply with current GDPR legislation. Similarly, in line with funder requirements and relevant Equality legislation, we continue to now collect data on the 9 protected characteristics under the Equalities Act which allows us to monitor who we need to try harder to reach. Our statistics on all groups relevant to our service continue to improve.

The Charity relies upon its volunteers to provide its support. 224 active volunteers gave their support during the year.

Our clients continue to match the national demographic for those with life limiting illnesses - 65% of clients are aged 70 and above. Clients with cancer, heart and respiratory disease, strokes and diabetes continue to receive the bulk of support. 63% clients are female, 36% male and 1% other. 100% identify as under the Equality Act 2010with having a life limiting illness. An increasing number of client and volunteers are from Black African, Black Caribbean, Asian and other minority ethnic groups, representing 21% of clients and 16% of volunteers. This reflects improvements in recruitment and awareness raising.

Referrals continue to come from a range of partners including sector partners, social prescribing teams, the NHS, social services and self-referrals.

The health and social welfare sector in which the Charity operates remains a challenging one with continuing commissioning changes in Greater Manchester. At the end of the financial year, we continue to have funding challenges with the cost of living crisis, changes in Employers National Insurance contributions and funder requirements on the Real Living wage.

Available funds are held at CAF Bank or in term Bonds and short term deposits.

Reserves Policy

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014; with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102); with the Charities Act 2011 and with the Companies Act 2006.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are funds which 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 other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Affairs (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is more than likely that the trustees will receive the funds and the amount can be measured with reasonable reliability.

Gift aid is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor has specified otherwise.

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Fundraising costs are those incurred raising income for the charity through events.

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.
