FAMILY CARE TRUST (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02982937)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 NN_ _ 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 31 March 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and activities The Mission Statement of the charity is:

"ECT will provide quality, flexible services that respond to individual needs. We promote independence, dignity and choices in order to maintain or improve the quality of life of adults in need and their carers." The charity has operated for 30 years, during which time it has built up an enviable reputation. This has enabled it to deliver a broad range of services to people within Solihull who require support. During the year the charity operated a day centre for those with memory problems such as dementia, parkinson's and alzheimer's, a community support team of workers that provide specialised domiciliary care, services that promote independent living for disabled people in their own homes, and a community farm and gardening service that provides work and skills training for adults with learning disabilities. The trust is also a leading provider of the Oliver McGowan training rollout in the Solihull area.

At March 2025 care was carried out to 205 service users of the charity, up from 204 in the previous year. The directors are satisfied that they have met the requirements to report on how the charity delivers public benefit.

In 2024/25 the Family Care Trust’s main operational objectives and targets were:

FCT to have a minimum CAQC rating of 'Good' with a drive to become an ‘Outstanding’ rated overall company by 2025. The charity retains a 'Good' rating.

Ensure all staff and volunteers are well trained and competent, including practical, hands on, and e-learning training. The trust has met this target, and all staff are adequately trained.

Raise the profile of the trust in the local community through a targeted marketing strategy. Progress has been made in this area, but more work is being carried out to strengthen Corporate Social Responsibility related partnerships. Seasonal events are being held at Newlands Bishop Farm to increase the profile of the trust in the local community.

Ongoing fundraising to contribute towards capital and revenue projects. £106k in donations and grants were received during the financial year.

Finish the construction of the new canteen building "The Roost". The building was completed and formally opened in October 2024.

Achievements and performance

The Oliver McGowan training rollout has been a success, and the trust was a delivery partner of the NHS from October 2023 through to March 2025. The trust now works with local NHS organisations on an ad hoc basis. The new canteen building "The Roost" has been completed and formally opened in October 2024, and the charity has successfully managed cashflow effectively, avoiding the need for external financing to fund day to day working capital. Newlands Bishop Farm has widened the scope of the Work Scheme, securing paid employment for Project Workers during the weddings season, at weekends in the caf@, and as advocates in the delivery of the Oliver McGowan training.

Public benefit

The trustee directors consider that the objectives of the charity meet the tests for public benefit when exercising their powers and duties. The trustee directors have complied with their duty to have due regard to the relevant guidance published by the Charities Commission. a

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Extensive annual plans are prepared to set operational objectives for key staff and departments, as well as financial budgets with targets. Performance against budget is analysed monthly, and material variances are acted upon. Cashflow is monitored daily, ensuring resources are available to cover liabilities as they fall due. Budgets are updated regularly to reflect changes in risk and likely outcomes.

The trustees note the increase to Employer NI announced in the autumn of 2024, but with effect from April 2025. This has had a detrimental financial impact, and mitigating measures were taken to reduce head count before the end of the 2024/25 financial year in anticipation of that.

In 2024/25 income increased by 11% compared to 2023/24 mainly due to additional local authority funded daycare services. The charity increased expenditure by 26% in the same period which reflected growth in its operations for supported living and the Oliver McGowan training roll out.

Cash decreased by £351k. This reflects the funds required to complete and open the new canteen build at Newlands Bishop Farm in October 2024.

The net surplus of £99k in 2024/25 is a decrease of £443k compared to a net surplus of £542k in 2023/24. This was due to significantly lower donations as capital grants received in 2023/24 for the new canteen building were not re-occurring. (A comment here about lower than expected client numbers having impact on net surplus).

Donations and grants of £106k were received. This is £176k less than the previous financial year, and the trust thanks everyone who has donated. It makes a material impact on the ability of the charity to serve the local community.

Investment policy and objectives

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustee directors wish.

The trustee directors, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the trust, have a policy of keeping available funds in a deposit account that attracts an interest rate higher than that for the current account.

Reserves policy

The trustee directors have considered the trust's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks facing the organisation and following the Charities Commission good practice guidelines. The trustee directors recognise the importance of establishing the long-term financial sustainability of the trust.

The trustee directors are required to ensure that monies are available for each year to meet any reasonable unforeseeable contingency. They believe that an amount of at least 6 weeks operating costs which equate to £477k based on operating costs for the year 2024/25 will be adequate. The trust holds total reserves of £3,303,746 (2024: £3,204,690) at 31 March 2025.

Future plans

Following another successful year for the Trust, the board is delighted to present a strong set of results and commend our Senior Management Team and colleagues for their hard work and commitment.

The Trust has continued to invest in the organisation and its people. Our service user numbers have grown which has meant an increase in staffing levels to ensure we can maintain and improve our services.

The Trustees and the Senior Management Team will continue to identify projects to provide services to our community. This will include additional Supported Living Schemes in the Solihull area which are a good strategic fit for the charity.

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.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees Board vacancies and future skill requirements are discussed at board meetings and Remuneration Committee to identify future requirements. This is to ensure we have a breadth of relevant experience across as many professional competencies as possible. Whena specific vacancy arises the board discuss and agree what is required and decide upon the most effective process to fill the vacancy.

Organisational structure Ordinarily, the board or sub-committees are scheduled to meet every calendar month. The Senior Management Team attend all meetings but have no voting rights. An Audit Committee made up of serving directors is scheduled to meet at least twice a year to scrutinise financial performance, including draft annual accounts, and review compliance with regulations, and identify and mitigate strategic risks. A Remuneration Committee reviews the reward and recognition strategy of the organisation, resource management and HR strategy.

A scheme of delegation is in place and the day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services and operational management, including health and safety, rests with the Senior Management Team. They ensure that individual supervision of the staff is properly carried out to develop their skills and working methods in line with good practice.

Induction and training of new director trustees Prior to appointment, any potential new director trustee is invited to meet with as many current board members as possible and discusses the requirements of the role with the chairman and other director trustees. Potential director trustees are invited to visit the sites of the trust and meet management and staff to understand the aims and work of the trust. This forms part of the recruitment and induction process.

New director trustees gain information about the charity from the regularly updated Family Care Trust website. They are also taken on visits to operational units to meet staff, volunteers and service users, introducing them to the work that Family Care Trust undertakes.

New director trustees are supplied with back copies of minutes of meetings, reports, management accounts and appropriate information which impacts on the decision-making process. Induction includes access to information regarding the main elements of charity law and other regulatory requirements. New and existing director trustees are able to attend external training on governance topics as required.

Related parties

The charity has effective working relationships with the current purchasers of its services. These include Solihull MBC which currently purchases significant services from the organisation. Additionally, services are provided to the NHS, Birmingham City Council, Warwickshire County Council, People Plus and many individual customers.

Staff members attend a variety of meetings and have developed good networking links with other charitable bodies within Solihull. This has proved invaluable to Family Care Trust in establishing improved links within the community and identifying relevant policy developments and prospective funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Risk management

The director trustees have a risk management strategy that comprises:

an annual review of the operational and strategic risks the charity may face. - consideration of the major risks by the Senior Management Team on a quarterly basis. - the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. - internal audits which are undertaken throughout the organisation to verify quality and procedural adherence.

The outcome of each review is incorporated into the operational plans of the charity. It has been acknowledged that the difficult financial climate and the increased potential of some risks being realised needed to be reflected in the focus of board meetings. Policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to manage risks.

Accident and incident reporting and analysis procedures are in place, and internal audit visits are made to operational centres during the year.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees (who are also the directors of Family Care Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS The auditors, J W Hinks LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the Board of Trustees, as the company directors, on 24 November 2025 and signed on the board's behalf by:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Family Care Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that 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 free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual. - Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied. - Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgments used by management in their significant accounting estimates. - Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
Testing key revenue lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.
Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.
Reviewing documentation such as board minutes for discussions of irregularities including fraud.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The presentational currency of these financial statements is Sterling. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest £1.

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named within the Trustees Report. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following is a key source of estimation uncertainty: Expenditure allocations: expenditure is apportioned where it relates to more than one cost category.

INCOME All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Revenue from rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will be be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charity SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees Report for information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services of facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party. It is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out centrally. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted Purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The expected income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

OPERATING LEASES

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease

term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period until the date the rent is expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate.

DEBTORS

Debtors are measured at amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held with banks. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

CREDITORS

Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to pay to settle the debt.

Amounts which are owed in more than one year are shown as long-term creditors.
