REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 30 June 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

Executive Summary 2025

Good News Family Care (Homes) Ltd began at our registration with the Charity Commission on November 21st 1994, making this our 31st year special in very many ways as we look back and celebrate all that has been achieved and the people who have contributed to making GNFC what it is today and for the very many people, now over 3,400 adults and children who have been supported on their journey. We thank God for all of the individual supporters and volunteers; churches and groups, High Peak Borough Council - our local authority; Derbyshire County Council and the many trusts and grant making bodies that have contributed to the provision of finance, resources and energy that has made all of this work possible.

There has been little financial support from Government sources this year, making finances very tight through much of the year. We are blessed by our individual supporters who continue to faithfully and sacrificially contribute to the work that we do both at Charis House and Oldfield Farm, however this group is shrinking year on year as many of our supporters are elderly and a significant number have moved on to a better place.

Derbyshire County Council sent out a research document in November asking for opinions on a number of possible options for funding in the coming year. We are hopeful that this will bring some funding early in 2026. Previous funding for training to run a 12-week Domestic Abuse Recovery Toolkit course is still bearing fruit for women in the Family Centre and the Recovery Centre.

As in the previous 4 to 5 years, the Family Centre has mostly been running at full capacity, even though we have over the course of the last year increased the number of bedrooms from 12 to 15 family rooms. Most of the residents, as in previous years, have come to GNFC due to serious levels of domestic abuse. The need for our residential services has continued to be evidenced by the serious cases of abuse our residents have experienced over the year.

The relationship of GNFC with the Green Pastures charity is progressing positively with the addition of one of their trustees to our executive board, helping to shape our future plans. Our aim and objectives are to ensure that the transition from the leadership of the founders to the new leadership team is smooth and secure

We sincerely thank every individual, grant making body and trust funds that have contributed to enable GNFC to support the people that we have served over the past 31 years and for those who faithfully support the work of the charity and our beneficiaries in prayer.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

Our Vision

Good News Family Care (Homes) Ltd is a Christian based registered charity that exists to show God’s love in practical ways through a wide range of approaches that aim to reach the whole family. Our vision is to bring the hope that encourages, motivates and empowers people for real and lasting change; to break cycles of abuse and addiction; to foster the development of strong supportive relationships.

Our Mission

GNFC seeks to create a sense of family and belonging that offers opportunities for hurting people to take risks in a safe, secure and accepting space, where to fail is an opportunity to learn and to grow.

The Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team work closely together to oversee and administer the operations of the charity in compliance with all regulatory requirements.

The aims and objectives of GNFC

Faith Statement

Throughout GNFC, prayer is integral to every part of the organisation, our work, life and decisions. We seek to be led and guided by the Holy Spirit and underpin our ministry by the Bible.

As a Christian charity our faith is foundational to the way we work and is why we do what we do. All people who meet our eligibility criteria are welcome to access the services we provide regardless of their religion or status. We do not discriminate against any individual on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation (referred to as protected characteristics). We do not impose our faith on our service users - they are free to choose and express their own views within our services - our charity is open to all.

In keeping with the 12-Step Recovery Programme, faith is a component of recovering from addiction and trauma and so views on spirituality are discussed and explored as part of the programme and is relevant to everyone.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Our service provision benefits people from Derbyshire and across the UK. Specifically, through provision of emergency and refuge residential facilities for women and their children; services for young adults and people who are marginalised (male and female), such as those with mental health issues, ex-offenders, young people at risk of offending, people at risk of, or recovering from drug and alcohol misuse.

Service users in our residential services are primarily women (and their children), struggling with multiple needs such as: fleeing, or needing to recover from domestic abuse; substance misuse addiction; struggling with mental health, complex needs. At any given time, they may include individuals on completion of a sentence, long-term and often generationally unemployed, individuals suffering from destructive/debilitating lifestyles, individuals suffering from low self-esteem, those with co-dependency issues, individuals who are self-harming. Many service users are poly drug users with complex needs also diagnosed with mental health issues including bi-polar, depression, panic attacks, anxiety.

People who are long-term and often generationally unemployed benefit from our skills development work-like activities. Community wide public benefit is achieved through reduction in crime and in the cost of public services including health services.

GNFC fulfils public benefit through:

The provision of refuge accommodation for women from 18 years who are fleeing domestic and/or sexual abuse also providing victim protection with holistic support. Our approach promotes the development and strengthening of family bonds - whenever possible with the whole family. When appropriate we offer mediation and advocacy between the victim and perpetrator, recognising the priority of risk assessment and risk management. Addressing problem drinking in young mothers and challenging substance misusing life-styles. Providing courses and interventions to empower women to grow in confidence, make wise choices and point the way for a greater capacity to manage relational conflict, also reducing the effect of alcohol misuse within the family, thereby decreasing crime and disorder and reducing the number of repeat incidences of abuse. Parenting programmes and support facilitate development of skills and appropriate authority within the family. These aid the parent/child relationship and help protect against the formation of behavioural problems in children and potential entry into crime in the future which contributes to meeting the targets of the government Troubled Families Programme.

Homeless facilities are provided to the local authority and beyond Derbyshire.

Care Quality Commission regulated residential services that support people in their recovery from substance misuse, promoting an abstinent lifestyle that is free from crime, strengthens family life and contributes to the local community and society.

Day care services that provide person-centered tailored support for as long as required within the community, supporting beneficiaries to sustain their recovery and sobriety and avoid a return to crime.

Partnership with local agencies and forums to shape future services, protect children and vulnerable adults from abuse, reduce domestic abuse and addiction and promote caring family values in our society.

Beneficiaries in 2025

GNFC supported a total of 76 people in 2025, plus extended family members and friends. Many of these individuals access more than one of our services.

Through the work of the Family Centers, 19 adults and 14 children have benefitted from GNFC’s residential support, with additional support being available for close family members and non-resident children as required. 4 Ladies and 1 child benefitted from Recovery. Our NRS services have been accessed by 7 adults and 31 children.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

Our Provision

Good News Family Care (Homes) Ltd. (GNFC) provides residential and day support services to some of the neediest people in society through services ranging from intensive residential care in the registered Rehabilitation and Recovery Centre through to ongoing outreach support and farm based social enterprise skills projects for residents and non-residents. Whilst physically spanning the different locations, our services complement each other and can be accessed at any point of need, ensuring a seamless transition to the different levels of support that are available.

Our four primary areas of provision are: two levels of Residential Support through Residential Recovery Service and Residential Family Centre, Community Support to ex-residents and Farm-based Skills for Life and Work Projects (in partnership with Derbyshire County Council’s Day Services).

Overview Of GNFC Service Provision

Through a broad range of intensive and strategic support in four levels of comprehensive interventions, GNFC is able to meet any level of presenting need that women and their children may have.

Specifically GNFC provides:

Level One - Intensive recovery and rehabilitation support within our residential recovery home. Level Two - Residential Family Centre/refuge support for women and their children.

Levels Three - Twice weekly drop-in activities including our Thursday Church with a community meal and Sunday ‘Charis Church’.

Level Four - A wide range of farm-based skills for work social enterprise activities.

OUR FOUR LEVELS OF SERVICE

Level One- Oldfield Farm Recovery Centre

This year 4 women have undertaken the programme for an average of 4 months.

The Recovery Centre provides supported accommodation for up to four women at any time who are seeking to recover from alcohol and substance misuse and/or other complex life controlling issues. Their recovery is assisted through our ‘freedom2live’ programme; a 12-Step based Structured Recovery Programme including courses, individual counselling, peer groups and staff led therapeutic sessions. These activities include and work together with our farm-based social enterprise skills projects which aim to build life structure and to develop skills for the workplace. Sadly, we have been unable to use the property in the latter part of the reporting year due to a significant leak in the roof. This problem is now being dealt with.

There were 4 women and 1 child in residence during the reporting period. The low numbers are due to it not being possible to use the property as the roof is leaking. There has been a delay in repairs being completed due to the builder we had engaged having stopped the work due to family issues. Temporary repairs were undertaken by staff to prevent further damage and residents were removed to Charis House for the next stage of the programme, ensuring that this was completed prior to them moving on. One resident decided to leave at that point with 3 continuing. The resident who was here with her daughter was offered move on accommodation into our dispersed housing apartment where she remains to date.

Oldfield farm is paramount to our vision to provide holistic support to families and especially for those with higher level complex needs than can be safely provided for within the Family Centre at Charis House. The property is placed in the Peak Park, in the High Peak region of Derbyshire. It is situated in an ideal location on the border of Derbyshire and East Cheshire and is within the Greater Manchester region. In addition to housing the Residential Rehabilitation Recovery Centre, our Skills for Life and Work Training Projects operate from the premises.

The Recovery Centre is registered with the Care Quality Commission and provides a safe place where residents can enjoy the peaceful environment and have greater choice in how to spend their free time around the farm, e.g. enjoying the gardens and livestock as well as spending time indoors. The proximity to the Skills Projects and involvement in caring for the livestock, gardens and the plants and vegetables in the horticulture project, enhances the programme. It creates a structured, purposeful and physically active lifestyle that improves health and well-being, aiding the recovery process. Perhaps most importantly it develops new habits for the future that support a substance free lifestyle.

GOOD NEWS FAMILY CARE (HOMES) LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 30 June 2025

We are extremely grateful for the investments that a small number of trusts have made to enable GNFC to provide this centre, so that women struggling with addiction to substances, self-harm and other life controlling issues can find help. Several women have testified that they know that they would have died if they had not been able to come to the recovery centre. This was demonstrated in the case of a lady who died following her funding application to her local authority for a placement with us being turned down. Very sadly we had not been informed of the situation at the time as we would have attempted to gain support for her placement elsewhere.

It is vitally important to us that we are one of a very few settings that welcomes younger children when risk assessments indicate it is appropriate (up to ten years of age when appropriate). As the first statement in our charitable Deed of Memorandum statement is ‘to promote the maintenance of moral and family welfare’ we seek to support the whole family where possible, providing feedback to partners and family members of residents on request.

We believe that whenever possible, children should remain with their mother, as experience tells us that when the decision to permanently remove a young child (or even when there is fear of this) women are likely to seriously relapse. Even more importantly, the mother/child bond is severed which can be permanently damaging to the emotional wellbeing of the child.

Recovery Case Study

Celia (name changed) had fought alcohol addiction for over 20 years. This was compounded by debilitating issues including significant depression and anxiety. On arrival at the recovery centre, she had very low self-esteem and had difficulty in managing daily life, including having conversations with her ex-partner regarding the care of her 12 year old daughter.

During the 6 months that she participated in the programme, Celia’s confidence improved greatly. She spent time resolving issues leading to her addiction and found hope for her future. She has now been abstinent from alcohol for almost a year, despite having significant health issues and has volunteered locally having gained the confidence to get out and meet new people. She is currently living in GNFC move-on accommodation with her daughter. She continues visiting Charis House, attending both Thursday and Sunday Church meetings where she is an encouragement to current residents in their recovery.

Level Two - Charis House Residential Family Centre

There were 19 resident women with 14 children over the year. The Family Centre is based at Charis House in Buxton close to the town centre in the Peak District of Derbyshire. It is conveniently situated close to shops and facilities. It has a total of fifty-five rooms including spacious shared accommodation, fifteen family bedrooms and one single room. It provides accommodation for up to 15 women and their children. There are good working relationships in place with local schools, school nurses, Health Visitors and Social Services.

Residents are offered a range of courses, skills projects and ‘in-house’ activities to help them prepare for life back in their local community. Together with access to the farm-based social enterprise skills for work projects, residents are referred to external agencies and services as appropriate and have access to several community-based activities. Charis House is the Headquarters of GNFC. It is a spacious Victorian building that provides a welcoming space for families who are homeless for a variety of reasons, such as domestic abuse, family breakdown, safeguarding vulnerable adults and children, or other complex issues.

The majority of resident families and individuals have suffered significant levels of abuse - many of them over many years and some from earliest childhood. It has been a great joy to see many of these women and their children moving on from the abuse and becoming confident and equipped to face new challenges and to live a new life, free from the threat of abuse. Some of our residents have moved to second stage recovery after a period in the ‘freedom to live’ recovery programme at Oldfield farm. They have frequently misused illegal substances and alcohol as a means of coping, or have been groomed/compelled to use substances as a means of controlling their lives. Thankfully at GNFC there is the opportunity to escape this destructive lifestyle once and for all and to choose a life that is fulfilled and free from fear.

Family Centre Testimony

I came to Charis House to be greeted with a warm welcome by staff. The staff at Charis House have helped me gain my confidence and believe in myself again. I have been here for five months and have found my own new home for me and my daughter. I can’t thank the staff enough at Charis House for helping me in a lot of ways. I am a proud parent to my daughter, who was able to join me at Oldfield Farm after the first few weeks of my programme. She then accompanied me to Charis House when she could also maintain contact with her father who lives locally. Eventually when I felt ready Charis House staff supported me to access my new home which is just around the corner, so it’s easy for me to keep in touch and I attend the church meetings regularly. Nicole (name changed)

Charis House also provides staff accommodation to ensure that there is always support at hand and that the security of the property and residents is maintained. Over the course of the year, four staff members have lived in and other staff members have supported the 24-hour cover by sleeping in on-call when needed.

The Family Centre has been in great demand over the past 31 years, over recent years mostly operating at full capacity. This has sadly meant that at times we have been unable to accommodate people in a timely way. Additionally, as the number of women and families has increased, in many of the cases, so has the level of abuse that they have suffered. Consequently, the need for a deeper level of ongoing support to aid their recovery has become increasingly evident, demonstrating that the provision of our residential and outreach support services are needed ever more urgently. During the past year 19 women and 14 children were resident in Charis House for an average stay of 8 months.

Outcomes

7 residents were re-housed in Housing Association properties.

3 residents were housed in Social Housing, 2 of these had been staying at Charis House for over 3 years demonstrating the difficulty in acquiring move-on accommodation when people become homeless in our region, despite submitting support from local schools, nursery’s and local councillors to support the applications.

The following courses are available to all residents:

Level Three Outreach Support

Since the funding ceased for community outreach support work, we resorted to drop-in only support, which continues to help women to adjust to independent living. Residents are invited to return to Thursday and Sunday services and know that they can always call in by phone or in person for advice and encouragement. This ongoing support continues to provide this service for the majority of beneficiaries after move-on into the community and beyond for as long as is beneficial.

Level Four - Farm Based Skills Activities and Social Enterprise Project

The Farm-based Skills Projects at Normanwood and Oldfield Farm have provided support and activities to adults and children during the year. The projects include skills training, education and a wide range of therapeutic activities which are open to all residents and community-based participants. The Farm-based Skills Projects at Normanwood and Oldfield Farm have provided support and activities to 7 adults during the year.

Page 6

GOOD NEWS FAMILY CARE (HOMES) LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 30 June 2025

The projects include skills training, education and a wide range of therapeutic activities which are open to all residents and community-based participants. It also creates opportunities for interested individuals who have gained knowledge and basic experience in the well-loved Equestrian Project to learn more about the care of horses and ponies.

Skills projects are accessible during the week and include: Woodwork Skills Horticulture Education with practical skills development Traditional country crafts Egg Production and Sales Animal Husbandry, Caring for the countryside Training in horse care and safely handling our ponies.

LONG TERM QUALITY CARE AND SUPPORT

Staff Training and Recruitment is a high propriety with special focus on Safeguarding vulnerable adults and children and the Health and Safety of our staff and residents. During the year all staff undertook Fire Safety training and First Aid. Other training was updated as required and undertaken by new staff members and continued professional development for each team member within their own field.

GNFC is committed to supporting families for the long term until they are fully able to sustain their tenancy within the wider community. We also seek to support people to move into training and/or work wherever possible. Our aim is to offer a wide range of activities both at the farm and at Charis House, so that each participant is sure to find something that appeals to them. Activities currently include equine care, especially of our new Dartmoor Hill ponies which are similar in size to miniature Shetland ponies, also care of the sheep and hens, free-range egg production, growing plants and produce in the horticulture project, basic building maintenance, fencing, dry-stone walling and also caring for the land and creating goods for sale.

Providing quality of care with continual improvement is a high priority in order to ensure that service users from each area of our work receive consistent quality of support in the best way possible to assist their recovery from abuse, addiction and life-controlling difficulties.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OF THE CHARITY

The management team has remained stable over the course of the past year. The charity has continued to fulfil the aims and objectives under their guidance throughout the year.

The Board of Trustees (Directors) oversee the finances and support the work of the charity in many practical ways. In addition to face-to-face Trustee Meetings to oversee the work and direction of the charity, they contribute to online meetings; through participation in events; ongoing communications/discussion by email; involvement in employment issues, giving support and encouragement to the Management Team. The directors seek to recruit additional members to the team as required in order to bring identified additional skills to the Board.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Challenges

1. Provision of Support Costs

The cost of residential support work is high. Most residents in this financial year were not funded for support cost. An increase in Enhanced Housing Support Allowance (Housing Benefit) covers rent payments and a contribution to higher staffing levels, but do not provide full cost recovery. This results in significant deficits in running costs, especially regarding the residential Recovery Programme service which yet again has run at a loss. It is an ongoing challenge that we continue to address by advertising vacancies to authorities further afield for funded placements. We also contact other referring agencies, continue to seek appropriate grant making trusts to make targeted appeals and submit grant applications. We continue to pursue funded placements within the Recovery service through attendance at marketing events, by emailing and contacting referral agencies to alert them to vacancies and by arranging open days for agency professionals to visit.

2. Premises

Maintaining the premises is a challenge as the work is endless, time-consuming and costly. Day to day maintenance is undertaken 5 days each week by our maintenance officers, however there are more significant refurbishments needed, requiring significant funding to be raised. We are also working hard to extend our reach to a wider group of individuals and Trust Funds. We find that capital funding appeals for these needs is often less attractive to funding bodies but is an ongoing and urgent priority for GNFC.

3. Farm Purchase

This has been on hold for the past year due to lack of finance to cover the payment. Communication has taken place with the benefactors of the farm purchase and it is a high priority of the charity to recommence the payments at the earliest time.

4. Sustainability

There are plans in place to provide a tender for funding from Derbyshire County Council in a draft document which was circulated towards the end of the reporting year. It requested comments on their proposals for a new round of funding from previous grant holders, as to whether agencies prefer a proposal for a joint bid or would prefer individual grants. We have yet to hear of feedback from this research which is anticipated will be circulated early 2026.

The ongoing running costs of both Charis House and Oldfield Farm are supported by Enhanced Housing Management Benefit. This is reviewed annually, however local authority funding is in short supply since their budgets have been reduced by central government.

Substance Misuse Services in Leicestershire and Derbyshire made referrals to the Recovery Centre for fully funded placements to Oldfield Farm. There were four women one with a child at weekends, who undertook the full course. Two of these followed on to a further period of approximately 6 months at Charis House and two returned to their own locality,

Funding opportunities are sought to ensure that women who don’t have funding in place from their local region are able to access the recovery programme and must be sustained by grants and donations.

GNFC’s fundraising strategy is to use multiple methods towards sustainability of our charitable activities and to reach our fundraising targets. These include charitable trusts and statutory sources. We make occasional appeals to ask for donations from our subscribed supporters by email and in printed newsletters but never telephone appeals. We do not use professional fundraisers currently but have previously and are currently considering accessing from a company that was recommended to us by our friends at Green Pastures, to provide additional capacity for writing funding applications. All fundraising is undertaken in close liaison with the Management Team and Directors. GNFC keeps abreast of applicable fundraising regulations and compliance codes. We have never received a complaint for our fundraising activities.

Applications were made to trust funds for both large and small grants, fundraising appeals to our supporters, a special event at the farm and a specific appeal towards the farm purchase to GNFC supporters online and by mail. A small amount of income is gained through egg sales and craft produce from the social enterprise skills projects, but this is an area for growth. In the coming year we will increase the number of laying hens to previous levels and continue to develop as a petting farm, adding to our rabbits and small ponies with other smaller animals including small goats and tame sheep, to be ready for regular open times for visitors to enjoy time with the animals.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Many of the charity’s individual supporters have faithfully and sacrificially provided regular financial support since the inception of GNFC for which we are extremely grateful. Individual supporters contribute a significant proportion of donated funds. Without these gifts, so much of the work that has been achieved would not have been possible. However, we recognise that unless we are able to attract younger supporters this level of giving will not be maintained. This is a primary target in the coming year.

A small number of churches regularly support the charity and this funding is very significant in maintaining the projects, supporting the sponsorship of residents who have no funding source and contributing to other urgent needs of our work that fall outside of trust funding and government grants criteria. These needs, for example include pastoral care and provision of community meals on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter as well as at our weekly Thursday Church meal.

Maintenance of Charis House & Oldfield Farm

The need for continued refurbishment of Charis House remains a high priority. Appeals have been made to trust funds throughout the year, primarily for refurbishment and replacement of windows. These specific refurbishment needs are included as an element in the majority of appeals that are made to trust funds. In such a huge building this amounts to a very large amount of work. We are seeking funding for this using a specialist funding agency in addition to our own funding appeals.

The continuous need for ongoing general maintenance at Charis House is fulfilled by our maintenance team 5 days each week. They are aided by farm staff on larger tasks as required. Roof repairs are still ongoing as funding permits and we are hopeful that grant applications towards this cost and the window refurbishment costs will be successful. The first phase of window replacements for the back of the house took place during the early part of the reporting period.

At Oldfield Farm, the first phase of roof repairs took place early in the year, but there remains important work to be done as funding permits

The increase in Housing Benefit rent has released extra resources towards the refurbishment costs of Charis House, some of which will be fulfilled by our maintenance team. However, extra manpower is required to fulfil the necessary work, which requires using professional companies to complete the work in a timely way

Ministers of Religion

Our four Brazilian Religious Workers (two married couples) completed their 2-year posts and were able to extend their stay when Claudio Firmino and Rafael Moreira successfully applied for placements as Ministers of Religion for an additional 3 years, which permitted their wives to also remain. They all complement the team, aiding our UK staff and are key to the smooth running of both the Family Centre and Oldfield Farm Skills for Work projects. Claudio, with his wife Jessica, support the work of the Family Centre where they cover day and evening/overnight duties on rota. Rafael works at the farm to support both the practical work and pastoral support of the beneficiaries. His wife Larissa, after initially working at the farm with her husband, has since become a valuable addition to the Family Centre team where she is now a Support Worker to residents. They are all a great blessing in supporting the work of GNFC and contributing to the spiritual and pastoral support of the resident families and Day Service users.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Events

GNFC’s annual celebration event has been moved to Oldfield Farm in a Celebration Garden Party and Open Day on the first Saturday of July which will enable all of our supporters to be able to plan ahead and put the date into their diaries each year. This year was the first time to switch from the original Charity Anniversary -the closest Saturday to the date of our charity registration on November 21st. This was changed due to needing to cancel at the last minute for two consecutive years due to bad weather in Buxton. The summer Garden Party is a beautiful and enjoyable day when staff and residents are able to meet with our supporters. The planning and preparation for the event creates an opportunity for the whole GNFC family, including residents, community-based beneficiaries, volunteers and staff working together to make it a very special occasion.

The 31st Anniversary celebration was a very special event when we could reflect back over the years of the charity with a great deal of thanksgiving for all that has been achieved in supporting so many women and families and to give thanks for all of the staff, volunteers and supporters who have contributed to make GNFC what it is today. We look forward to celebrating again on July 4th 2026.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

GNFC remains in a stable financial position at the end of the financial year 2024–2025 despite making a deficit. Total funds decreased from £556,160 to £490,387, reflecting a net deficit of £65,773.

The charity’s Unrestricted General Fund stood at £173,502 with a further £67,542 held in Unrestricted Funds, reflecting a cautious approach to financial planning. Restricted Funds totalled £249,343 at year-end, the vast majority being in the Fixed Assets. While the charity maintained a stable cash position, continued attention to funding diversification and cost control will be essential to support future sustainability.

Investment policy and objectives

At the current time the Directors consider it inappropriate to seek to invest with the exception of investment in property and fixtures & fittings that are specifically needed for the continued provision of the services we offer to fulfil our objectives.

Reserves policy

The Directors consider it is appropriate to seek to maintain an unrestricted reserve for the future sufficient to cover three months outgoings. Unfortunately, whilst every effort has been made to follow this policy, it has not been possible as unrestricted income has dropped slightly. The Directors do however feel that there has to be a caveat such that, if in seeking to maintain this level of reserves the service we provide would be drastically reduced or curtailed, the Policy would need an immediate rethink with the necessary actions being decided upon depending on circumstances at that time.

Our Finance Team proposed that monies should be set aside each month for various areas of known funds required to be paid at certain times, including payments on the purchase of Oldfield Farm. This is to ensure that there are allocated funds available as and when needed. This policy was agreed by the directors of the company and has proven to be a positive step.

Going concern

Good News Family Care (Homes) Ltd is to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial and Operational Review

In recent years we have addressed how our finances are recorded and monitored to make them more reflective of how our work has developed over the past few years. The purpose was to ensure that our financial management processes are transparent, that grants and donations can be easily identified and that the cost of our different areas of work can be readily assessed for budgeting purposes. Our operations are now more clearly identified and targets and outcomes are able to be accurately measured in a way that is meaningful to funding bodies and to our supporters.

FUTURE PLANS

We plan to:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Organisational structure

Current Management Team Members: Hazel Guest Charity Manager Annette Horsfield Recovery Manager Joylyn McDonald Harris - Faily Centre Manager Rebekah Lees Administrative Manager Paul Whitworth Farm and Non-Residential Services Manager

Charity Trustees

The Board of Trustees (Directors) has remained stable over the course of the past year. The Board oversees the finances of the charity through quarterly face to face Trustee Meetings overseeing the work and direction of the charity. As many agencies we were able to maintain our regular meetings during lockdown via video using Teams/Zoom. This method has been helpful at times when it has been difficult for trustees who live considerable distances from our centre to contribute to regular communications. The directors seek to recruit additional members to the team as required in order to bring identified additional skills to the Board.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GOOD NEWS FAMILY CARE (HOMES) LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Good News Family Care (Homes) Limited ('the Company') I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025.

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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, 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:

  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.
