Trustees annually review the risk register before signing off the Statutory Accounts for the year. The key risks identif led are.. Occupancy and resident mix in our care homes do not align to the budget, leading to Guild Care not being able to generate enoLJgh income to sustain the work of the chariry. A serious safeguarding incident or multiple incidents that lead to an overarching adult safeguarding review affecting the whole organisation, which if deemed appropriate could result in suspension or closure of services. National staffing shortages affect our ability to sustain our care services. Guild Care fails to implement adequate health and safety conrrols or keep its premises safe, which could resulr in a risk to health, serious injury or dearh of a service user, staff member, or the public. Internal risks are minimised through the implementation of appropriare leve15 of control and authorisation for all transactions and projects. Procedures are also in place to promote the health and safety of staff, volunteers, residents, tenants, customers, and visitors to all Guild Care sites. Our quality assurance framework has been developed in line with our main regularor's requirements (Care Quality Commission) to ensure the consistent quality and delivery of all operational aspecrs of the chariry. All systems are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to meet rhe needs of the charity. During this f inancial year, two of our regulated services were inspected by the CQC. Linfield House, which had a rating previously of 'Requires Improvement,, returned an outcome of 'Good' following a focussed inspecrion in June 2021 reflecting the successful delivery of a service improvement plan during this year. Haviland House, which has been undergoing an extensive service improvement programme received a 'Requires Improvemenr, grade from CQC, which was in line with our own internal and ongoing assessment process. The CQC report did not idenrify any new issues to us which were already in our service improvement plan. Like all other social care organisations, Guild Care has been facing staff recruitment challenges in this financial year across all our services. Thi5 is a national issue and we took several actions to minimise the impacr such as a retention bor>us scheme, welcome paymenrs for new staff Page 7 0141

Guild Care Trustee Report Icompany Limited by Guarantee) Year end 31 March 2022 Guildcare and bonus payments for staff working additional shifts. We have taken these actions, alongside a comprehensive wellbeing support programme for the team, and an additional focus ar Senior Leadership level on both the management of our resources and the analysis of key performance indicators, at weekly review meetings. Covid 19 remains a predominant feature of our organisational risks and we continue to adopt a robust approach to infection control procedures, but thankf ully, throughout this year we have seen a reduction in cases and services less restricted in their ability to operate and more inreraction wirh relatives and carers. Page 8 of 41

Guild Care Trustee Report (Company Limited by Guarantee) Year end 31 March 2022 GuildCare>r Message from the Chair Guild Care has been at the forefront of supporting the community of Worthing since 1933. During that time we have faced many challenges, but the pasi year has probably been one of the most challenging yet. Covid continues to have an impact on what we do. While we, thankfully, have not seen anything like the signif icani impact of the previous year, we are still mindf ul of operating in a Covid safe manner while dealing with the effects of the past two years. Many of the people we have supported through ourwork to reduce social isolation in Worthing have been cur off f rom their f riends and family, f rom their clubs and activities and from each orher for so long that we are only just starting to undersrand the impact of this. Never has there been a more important rime for Guild Care, as the leading social care provider in Worthing, to support people as we all look to life post-pandemic. l am excited about ournew 5-year strategy. Although the completion of this strategy has been inevitably delayed by the impacts of Covid on our team, we are in the process of building something which will see Guild Care move back towards being an organisation for the community, focused on real social impact in two disrincr areas - aiming ro reduce social isolation, and social stigma. Spear-heading this strategy will be Creating Connections, a community-based programme of acrivities for Older People in Worthing, which will be joined up with our other services for Older People. people with Learning Disabilities and People Living with Dementia. As my term as Chair comes to an end, I wanted ro share with you some reflections from my time at Guild Care. I have not only been a Trustee for seven years, including two years as Deputy Chair and three years as Chair, but also a user of Guild Care's services in the past year, as my mother-in-law spent her last year at Caer Gwent, where she was beautifully cared for. I am so proud of the organisation, in its ability to provide the most meaningful, loving care to the community of Worthing. Despite everything that Covid ha5 thrown at us all. Guild Care has always been there, providing services of the highest quality throughout. We used technology where we could, we kept people as safe as we possibly could and maintained our support, where many other organisations had closed their doors. This speaks volumes about the values of the organisation. Guild Care ha5 changed significantly during my time as Chair and l am proud to say that there have been many improvemenrs and much modernisation, in the past year especially. I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the Board of Trustees for their unwavering support and commitment in what ha5 been an extraordinary period for the organisation, where their expert15e has helped steer us. One of my key objectives when I started as Chair was to develop a cohesive, unired and effective Board of Trusrees. The skills and experience of the current Board have enabled us to support the Senior Leadership Team to make the changes required. I would also like to thank the management team for their skill and dedication. which has been tested to the limit during this year, and of course to everyone who has supported Guild Care, from our wonderful volunteers to our important donors.

Guild Care Trustee Report (Company Limited by Guarantee) Year end 31 March 2022 GuildCare>r Message from the CEO The past year has been a Eesting one to say the least, but l am exceptionally proud to report thar we have made some significant progress on many different fronts as the leading local social care charity. While we have been impacted by the national staffing shortages and ongoing operational challenges caused by the pandemic, we have made real progress in the past year in several key areas. We have redefined the organisational culture and working towards embedding values- based leadership behaviours and performance managemenr. This programme of work is helping us to drive change as we create a culture of learning and continuous improvement. We have created our strategy map for the next five years, based on the vision that all people in need of care live fulfilling, safe and secure lives, and the mission that we wil I achieve this by ensuring our support and services are accessible, eff ective and lovingly delivered. This will deliver in two areas of social impact,. reduced social isolation and reduced social stigma. We have launched our new social isolation service, Creating Connections, designed with the community and with rhe aim of reducing social isolation in Older People in Worthing. This programme will spearhead our work in the community over the next five years. We have created a new strategy to transform our work with adults and children with Learning Disabi1 ities, including developing our work with people with complex needs, building on our respire offer and supporting people to access more joined up services and support. Our regulated care services have all benefited from an investment in our audit, compliance, and service improvement funcrions. This work has been supported and underpinned by our cultural transformation project to create a culture of performance and learning and conrinuous improvement. Our retail team continue to go from strength to strength, and through hard work, dedicarion and expertise have built a f unction which is contributing significantly to rhe charitable work of Guild Care. would like to take the opportunity to thank our staff team for the incredible effort and commirment they have displayed thi5 year. Whatever is happening in the world, and no matter what challenges they face, they always have the besr interests of our service users and customers at heart - something which is reflected across not only our services, but rhe wider organisation too. I would also like to thank our volunteers, wirhout whom we wouldn't be able to provide the life-changing services we have to so many people. Your time, expertise and commitmenr is hugely appreciated. And finally, to our supporters. We are working to understand our social impact more in the next year, by creating an evaluation framework to determine the outcomes of what it is we do as a chariry to reduce social isolation and social stigma with your support. l am really excited about being able to share thi5 Wlth you, as and when we start to see the results. but I have no doubt that what we do, we simply couldn't do it without you.

Principal risks include those around the group's access ro finance, occupancy and staff ing levels within homes. The group has in place debt facilities which provide adequate resources to finance committed reinvestment and development programmes, along with the group's day to day operations. The group a150 has a long-term business plan and a detailed rol ling financial forecast which shows that Guild Care is able to service these debt facilities whilst continuing to comply with lenders, covenanrs for the foreseeable future (being 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements). This year Trustees have considered rhe impact on the contribution generated from the homes whilst performance returns to normal operating levels following the Covid-19 pandemic during the foreseeable f uture of the nexr twelve months from the date of signing the f inancial statements. The assets of the group have a market value significantly greater than the book value and with a loan io value ratio being only 25Yo on 31sr March 2022. Based upon the strong financial performance of Guild Care before the Covid-19 crisis and the availability of 5ecuriry, the Trustees believe that the group would be able ro take mitigating actions, borrow f urther funds and/or dispose of assets in the unlikely event that rhese were needed in the short-term. Having considered the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic experienced to date on Guild Care's reserves, availability of finance, risk5 facing the sector and plans including budgets and forecasts, the trustees are sarisfied with the level of reserves and have concluded that Guild Care is a going concern over the foreseeable future.

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 14, the trustees (who are also the directors of Guild Care for rhe purpose5 of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied rhat they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are f ree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing rhe Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basi5 of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thar an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatemenr when it exists. Misstatements can arise f rom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. rhey could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users raken on the basis of these financial statements.

Guild Care Trustee Report (Company Limited by Guarantee) Year end 31 March 2022 GuildCare4v Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularitie5, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below. A f urther description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.f rc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Extenr to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including f raud Irregularities, including f raud, are instances of non-compl lance with laws and regularions. We identif led and assessed the risks of material misstatemenr of the f inancial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audir evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the Group operates, focusing on rhose laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the f inancial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this contexr were rhe Companies Acr 2006, the Chariries Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and other laws and regulation applicable to a registered social housing provider in England. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations a5 part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other law5 and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements bur compliance with which might be fundamental to the Group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the Group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were requirements imposed by the Regulator of Social Housing and the Care Quality Commission ICQCI, healrh and safety legislation, taxation legislation and employment legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations ro enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including f raud, to be wirhin the timing of recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimate5 for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence, designing audit procedures over the timing of income and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in rhe financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audii in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations lirregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial starements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentarions, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. Page 18of41

Grants received from non-government sources are recognised using rhe performance model. A grant which does not impose specified future performance conditions is recognised as revenue when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. A grant that imposes specif led future performance-related conditions on the association is recognised only when these conditions are met. A grant received before the revenue recognition criteria are sat15fied is recognised as a liability. Capital grants are released ro the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the useful economic life of the asset Ihey were used to purchase (excluding landl. For legacies, entitlement is recognised from the earlier of the date of receipt or when suff icient notif ication is received by the charity to enable it to quantify its entitlement with reasonable probabil ity. Income is not recognised for legacies which remain subject to a life interesr. Donations are recognised on receipt. Charity shop income represents net invoiced sales of goods and is recognised in the year in which the sale occurred. Rental income is recognised in the year in which accommodation is provided. 2.4 Financial instruments Guild Care has only f inancial assets and liabilities of a kind thar qualify as basic f inancial instruments.

Support costs include apporrioned staff and care costs incurred to support income generation and governance, together with the cost of general management including supervision, f inance, training, human resources and IT. Support costs are allocated ro charitable activities on a percentage basis. The percentage5 applied are based on management's informed view of time spent on each activity.

The Pensions Trust Growth Plan The company participates in rhe scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 638 non-associaied participaring employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the company to obrain sufficient information io enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore, it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme. The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, togerher with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK. The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement,.

Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basi5 on withdrawal from the scheme. A f ull actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out ar 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminare this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme. The recovery plan contribution5 are allocated to each participating employer in line with their estimated share of the scheme liabilities. Guild Care's share of these deficit contributions from 2022 to 2025 are £14.422 per annum (payable monthly}. Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation.
