On behalf of the Board of Trustees and our staff team lam very pleased to present this year’s Annual Report and accounts for your information and scrutiny. | hope you will take the opportunity to read the Trustees Report which summarises some of the key achievements of our charity over the last year and the accounts which show the continuing solidity of our financial affairs. | am pleased to report that his has been another very positive year for our Charity with a significant growth in the number of people we have been able to support. Commissioners as varied as the County Council, the NHS, Children in Need and the Big Lottery have recognised the quality of the services we provide and we thank them for their confidence in us. Our services have continued to be delivered against the background of the COVID pandemic which has presented considerable operational challenges. Our staff team have responded with innovative ways of working to maintain contact with service users and a new and sustainable blend of ‘hybrid’ working based on flexible home and office working has been established. Rurality presents a huge challenge with a ‘patch’ that stretches from the east coast to upper Wensleydale. One of the most significant events of the last year has been the formal name change of Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource to Carers Plus Yorkshire. This took place in May 2021 and was the culmination of almost two years work with a neighbouring Carers charity and commissioners. This resulted in our being responsible for the delivery of carers services across Hambleton and Richmondshire following the novation, or transfer, of contracts from the County Council. One of the key elements in our revised Business Plan is to improve and strengthen services in those areas which are less developed than in the Scarborough and Ryedale areas and we have already made significant steps to this end. Alongside our core offer to Adult Carers, Young Carers and Young Adult carers we have[a][portfolio] of complementary services that support other vulnerable people in our local area, such as My Neighbourhood, the Home from Hospital service and support to veterans. Increasing the range of services we provide makes our Charity more secure as It means we can build on the skills of our staff, share the fixed costs across these projects and support more vulnerable people across what amounts to over half of North Yorkshire. We have also established a presence in the Bridlington area of the East Riding of Yorkshire delivering a home from hospital service funded by the Local Authority and Humber Coast and Vale NHS Partnership. As you can see from the accounts our financial position is very stable with a growth in our income over the last year. The bulk of funding comes from our commissioners but we have been successful in developing donations and support from the local business and professional community. | would like to thank them for their support. Technically outside the financial year we are reporting on, but very importantly, | can confirm that the core funding for our adult and children’s carers services has been secured for a further 7 years. The demand for our services continues to grow and the difficulties faced by carers and other vulnerable people are well documented by the stresses of recovery from the Covid pandemic and the pressures of the rising cost of living. There is increasing pressure on the NHS and social services nationally and locally and our role is to complement and support the work of the statutory sector. The quality of our services is dependent on a skilled and committed team, | would like to thank our staff team, Trustees and volunteers for all their hard work over the last year. Building on the skills and knowledge of our staff team is a key part of our long-term strategy of sustainability and growth. the| hopework youoffind our the TrusteesCharity.

Carers Plus Yorkshire Limited (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT

;

2021-2022 has been an exceptionally memorable year for the Charity; whilst this report will feature some of the operational detail and delivery, it is our change in name and the background work behind this move that has occupied much of our strategic energies across the year.

On the 20th May 2021 Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource officially changed its name to Carers Plus Yorkshire Ltd and launched its new branding and name during Carers Week 7th June 2021. This significant moment for the charity created huge ‘noise’ across many marketing/communications platforms including the launch of our new website, social media, radio and in the printed word as well as a huge campaign to ensure we experienced minimum disruption to service and connectivity to our partners and clients. We were delighted that all associated with Carers Plus Yorkshire (CPY) quickly embraced the changes and supported the dissemination of our now well-established new look and feel.

On the 1st July 2021 we took the Carers Plus Yorkshire name across into Hambleton and Richmondshire, joining forces with Hambleton & Richmondshire Carers Centre and starting the delivery of novated Carers contracts and services across these districts. Over the following 6 months we were delighted to have secured external funding, in addition to the core commissioned service, which doubled funding resources and helped us build a strong staff team, comprising of existing and new staff. Our ambition in this area has been to re-establish a ‘go-to’ carers service which had been significantly impacted by a reduced presence during covid.

Overall, our year has been an extraordinary 12 months, bringing some unique challenges and opportunities that have tested our resilience, capacity and adaptability like never before. Our most marked achievement as we close the financial year, has been the establishment of our mission, objectives and values across a new geography. We have been determined to ensure the CPY brand and experience has remained consistently high quality, timely and delivered through an exceptionally talented and skilled team. We are confident we have risen to the challenge.

Our free services for carers and non-carers have continued to become embedded and yet have not stood still. The list below is an overview of the services now delivered following a strong year of successful bidding, recruitment and partnership working:

Carer Services:

° Adult Carers Service: supporting unpaid Carers 18 — 108 in Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale, Hambleton and Richmondshire. In addition, we have secured and now deliver social and emotional support for carers in East Riding. ° Young Adult Carers: supporting Carers 16-30 with their general and specific caring needs, including parent carers (for those caring for young children <18). Following new funding streams, we have also introduced this specialist service in Hambleton and Richmondshire (previously not catered for as a specialist service).

° Young Carers: supporting young people 8-18 who are impacted bya caring situation within their family unit/living arrangements. With services boosted in Hambleton and Richmondshire with additional investment secured through Carers Trust.

(A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

e Commissioned Services: We are also delighted to report, that in this year, we successfully completed a major tendering exercise issued by NYCC to retain the contract for our all-age support service; this has secured our engagement for the next 3 years, with the potential to add a further 2 + 2 years, a total of 7 years if we continue to deliver with quality and impact.

Community Services: Services for any adult (carers/non-carers):

e Home from Hospital - North Yorkshire and East Riding: supporting clients over 18 who may need additional support to return home comfortably and confidently after a stay in hospital. We are delighted to report in 2021-2022 we have been able to secure additional staffing resources (in NY and ER) to add to the patient outcomes of this exceptionally busy service through ‘system pressure funding’ from Humber Coast and Vale Healthcare Partnership. We have also worked through a significant commissioning process to secure the service for a further 5 years with the potential to add a further 2 years.

° My Neighbourhood: for clients experiencing a period of isolation and/or loneliness. Continuing to attract a number of associated projects that add value to the overall delivery of this well-being and prevention service. Projects added to the core delivery include: fs) Community Conversations in Eastfield (a community on the outskirts of Scarborough) ensuring the area listens and responds to the needs and wishes of the residents as it looks to pian a substantial investment secured for the area ) NHS Volunteering — expanded from Ryedale, CPY now cover the promotion, training and support required to recruit and retain NHS volunteers in Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale hospitals on behalf of Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.

o A single point of contract for the public to call and seek support of any kind s) Secured significant funds to support food poverty in the area ro) Developed a network of partners working to build an understanding of green social prescribing o Support the development of ‘community one stops’.

The Board of Trustees has continued their unwavering commitment towards the charity using their wealth of experience to help guide the way forward; ensuring at every step of the way we confidently moved through to the recovery phase, post pandemic. With their support we were able to navigate the organisation’s support and commitment to helping our staff team, and the communities and individuals we serve and the partners we work with to begin to establish a new normal.

Different ways of working

As we moved through the year, our ability to develop hybrid practices for both staff and clients was confidently implemented. With the remission of COVID, reduction in restrictions, and the effectiveness of the vaccination programme, we were able to re-introduce physical meetings alongside virtual opportunities. As an organisation working with vulnerable clients, we were cautious in our approach and worked at the pace of our clients to introduce ‘options’ for all.

For the staff team we introduced a rota of returning to the office — mindful of the team’s productivity and desire to maintain an element of home working but importantly rebuilding the valuable interaction that having staff in the office can bring. With a staff team that included a number of ‘COVID-recruited’ members, bringing staff together was vital to ensure we created ‘one team’ and maximised the learning new and existing staff could bring each other.

In terms of our clients, we had to balance opportunities for those keen to return to ‘normal’ and those still very anxious to engage in group/in-person meetings. To this end, over the year we developed opportunities that incorporated a mixture of ‘small’ group gatherings, hybrid meetings and solely virtual experiences. The benefits of virtual connections has now become embedded in our work - a legacy of covid that will benefit many carers and community members who are perhaps less confident to return to normal at present, who struggle to leave their ‘cared-for’, are housebound and/or those who have logistical barriers to accessing in-person opportunities.

As we opened-up our in-person support opportunities, we responded by exploring our potential to develop an infrastructure of ‘at place’ service delivery. We developed new spaces and places in which to take our services out to communities, rather than expecting communities to come to us. The expansion of our footprint over the year has significantly helped us to consider a place-based model of delivery as we built a new modus-operandi for the extended team.

Numbers and Impact

Whilst we recognise statistics only tell part of the story, we are keen to report the overall impact of our work on new clients. When collating an annual picture, the figures below capture the new referrals to each area of our service:

Carers Plus Yorkshire Limited

(A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

In declaring our new referrals numbers this masks the actual number of carers and community members we work with on a longer-term and at a ‘low level’. Low level often includes clients who remain connected with us, accessing opportunities that help them to maintain a balanced and confident lifestyle in their particular circumstances. If we were to include these clients, we are delighted to report we have supported nearly 5000 individuals in 2021-2022.

Partnerships

Our collaborative partnership with a broadening network of organisations and sectors has supported our successful positioning over the course of the year.

Our contractual relationships with partners including Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, Humber Coast and Vale Healthcare Partnership, Hey Smile Foundation and a number of Primary Care Networks have strengthened our understanding and ability to bridge the ‘gap’ between sectors and contribute to addressing health inequalities and system pressures.

Our relationship with VCSE colleagues has continued to build trust, collaborative opportunities and shared expertise — truly demonstrating we are ‘stronger together’, whilst levelling-up the value of the sector in the eyes of commissioners, and others who have influence over our future integration to important strategic and operational platforms. We (both as an individual charity and as a collaborative) have been able to seek support when needed, as well as operate with generous leadership when partners have required our support.

Our commitment to our funders has been a priority this year, especially as we looked to secure extensions and new opportunities from existing funders as well as building new relationships with new funding streams. Throughout the year, we have continued to develop partnerships with: The Carers Resource (Harrogate), NHS Trusts, PCN’s and CCG’s, the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, Carers Trust, The Big Lottery, BBC Children in Need, Freemasons, The Carers Trust and Triangle Trust.

One Year Business Plan

Over the course of 2021-2022 we operated with an interim one-year business plan, designed to carry us through a transition year. In terms of strategic thinking and development, we have used the year to reflect on the expansion of our service footprint, the building of a full complement of talented staff, and the values of the organisation moving forward. As we closed the financial year we were proud to have constructed a new Business Plan that feels strong and gives us direction for the next 5 years (with a newly published Business Plan 2022 — 2027).

Our reflections have led us to:

Mission: Carers Plus Yorkshire enables unpaid Carers and those we support in the Community, to be heard, to feel empowered to improve their own wellbeing, and to make positive changes in their day to day lives.

Financial review

As in previous years the charity has actively applied for funding for the general running of the charity and has kept a close control over its expenditure. These results reflect this policy, with the charity’s unrestricted funds showing a surplus of income over expenditure of £107,906 (2021: surplus of £79,647). The charity has used £25,397 of this surplus to cover overspends on projects. The largest overspends being £16,518 on the NYCC Young Carers Project and £8,879 on the Northallerton Young Carers Project. At 31 March 2022 unrestricted funds totalled £380,195 (2021: £293,472) which is above its stated reserves policy (below) and is held to cover any shortfalls in funding on its long running projects, as noted. It was agreed during the year that the £45,000 brought forward designated funds relating to the merger with Hambleton and Richmondshire Carers Centre would be re-designated back to General unrestricted funds. After consulting with the Charity Commission, it was agreed that part of the restricted Young Carers Projects fund was to be classed as designated unrestricted funds moving forward, to be spent as the charity deems appropriate across the various active Young Carer projects. As such, incoming and outgoing resources were designated as appropriate, whilst an amount of £4,214 relating to the brought ‘ forward balance held in the restricted Young Carers Project fund was transferred to the designated unrestricted fund.

The charity, in line with the restrictions and timescales placed upon its restricted funds, has utilised the funds provided to it in the previous year. The results in these financial statements show the Charity’s restricted funds with a surplus of income over expenditure in the year of £43,154 (2021: £84,064). At 31 March 2022 restricted funds held by the charity total £199,835 (2021: £135,498) and these funds will be expended on their specific projects in the forthcoming financial year.

investment policy

The Board of Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found that the CAF Charity Service meets their requirements for security of funds and achieves a competitive rate of interest as well as allowing easy access to the capital.

Reserves policy

The Trustees consider sufficient reserves should be held to fulfil their duty of prudence and to fulfil the cost and legal obligations to wind up the charity should it be necessary. However, it is the view of the Trustees that this must be balanced by the need to invest in services to fulfil our charitable purpose. The Reserves Policy was reviewed in March 2022 as follows:

  1. The Trustees consider that unrestricted cash reserves are required for the following reasons:

  2. a) To enable CPY to maintain its core contracted services for a period of 3 months b) To provide for non-funded staffing costs such as redundancy, staff sickness or parental leave arrangements and from unforeseen compliance costs relating to new or changing legislation

  3. c) To provide alternative funding to meet any shortfall against a planned deficit budget d) Contractual obligations for current lease arrangements

  4. Amount of cash reserves to be held: The amount set for the above reasons will fluctuate annually, but as a general rule* the equivalent of 3 months running costs will be held.

    • *If CPY is deemed financially and contractually secure, Trustees can agree to access reserves for development purposes.

  5. Cash reserves sufficient for the immediate future are already held and the Trustees will endeavour to maintain them at an appropriate level by taking account of future provision requirements when setting the annual budget.

  6. The Trustees will monitor the level of cash reserves when considering the quarterly reports from the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees

Cash reserves sufficient for the immediate future are already held and the trustees will endeavour to maintain them at an appropriate level by taking account of future provision requirements when setting the annual budget. Reserves are monitored by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Carers Plus Yorkshire Ltd

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Carers Plus Yorkshire Ltd (the 'charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

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 auditor's report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Carers Plus Yorkshire Ltd

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of[the][audit:]

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

The trustees 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 charity'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 charity 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 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Carers Plus Yorkshire Limited (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2022

  1. MOVEMENTS IN FUNDS

Purpose of restricted funds

Carers’ grants enable local/regional/national grant giving organisations to support carers’ identified needs and provide much needed financial assistance to them and their families. These are funds held on behalf of the carers.

Big Lottery Fund — Reaching Communities is a four year grant towards the costs of a further project to support adult carers (16 — 35 years old). This project finished in July 2019, the closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £455, consists of fixed asset to be depreciated in future years.

NYCC Young Carers is the contract with NYCC for providing a support service to Young Carers from 8 — 18 years of age. Trustees recognise that this project needs to be subsidised by our unrestricted reserves, with a closing deficit in the fund of £16,518 being covered by transfer from unrestricted reserves.

Action Towards Inclusion was originally a three-year grant funding to assist organisations to support vulnerable people (including carers) who are facing all sorts of barriers in returning to work, training or education. The lead partner is Your Consortium, and the funding is part of the national Building Opportunities programme whichis jointly funded by the Big Lottery and European Social Fund. Delivery on this project finished in September 2019; we were lucky to receive an extension of the project for a further 3 years and then a second extension of 9-months to secure the project up to June 2023. The closing deficit as shown at 31% March 2022 of £1,922 plus depreciation to be charged in future years of £131 gives a total deficit of £2,053 which will be covered by future funding.

NY Sport — Tackling Inequalities is a fund aimed at developing a programme of Health & Wellbeing to Young Carers aged 8 — 18 and to help fund the costs of the Adult Caring with Active Confidence Sessions. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £2,914 is to be used in the 2022/23 financial year.

Capital Grants were grants received to cover the cost of new computer equipment and furniture. The balance on the fund at the end of the year is the net book value of the computer equipment and furniture included on the Balance Sheet under Fixed Assets. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £57 consists of fixed assets to be depreciated in future years.

Wellbeing and Prevention service — working title of ‘My Neighbourhood’ — funded by NYCC, My Neighbourhood connects communities and provides support to people who may be isolated, lonely or need a bit of extra help. The service is for anyone aged 18 or over, not necessarily a carer and is delivered in partnership with Ryedale Carers Support. The closing balance as shown at 31° March 2022 of £15,317, consists of fixed assets of £934 to be depreciated in future years and a useable fund of £14,383.

Home from Hospital is a service for anyone aged 18 or over, to provide short-term help to those who are returning from hospital and need some support. Help includes anything from essential food shopping to organising ongoing support with other agencies. It does not provide personal care. CPY are subcontracted by Harrogate Carers Resource to deliver Home from Hospital in the Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale areas. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £26,488, consists of fixed assets of £726 to be depreciated in future years and a useable fund of £25,762.

  1. MOVEMENTS IN FUNDS

Purpose of restricted funds

Sirius Minerals Foundation is funding to help pay for extra staff time to cope with the workload of Covid-19. It also funded client bursaries and engagement packs in the Ryedale area. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £4,546 is to be used in the 2022/23 financial year.

Carers Respite Support & Development Fund (YAC) is to develop a ‘Young Adult Carer (YAC) Library’ that will provide an online reference platform hosting many of the tools, skills and confidence-boosters needed to give our YACs the very best start to their future social mobility and progression.

Young Carer Projects are funds provided by various organisations, individuals and collections specifically for work with Young Carers. The funds will provide the resources for varying purposes from fun activities to structured workshops. One of the major funding pots was provided by the Malton & Norton Rotary which let Young Carers access pots of money to aid with well-being, support with the impact of their caring role and building self-confidence. Other funders include The Mayor's Community Fund and the Whitby Endeavour Rotary. After consulting with the Charity Commission, it was agreed that part of the fund was to be classed as designated unrestricted funds moving forward, to be spent as the charity deems appropriate across the various active Young Carer projects. As such, incoming and outgoing resources were designated as appropriate, whilst an amount of £4,214 relating to the brought forward balance held in the restricted Young Carers Project fund was transferred to designated unrestricted fund.

Triangle Trust is a 3 year grant allowing the capacity to look at making the organization more sustainable for the future, to explore options for diversification and a broader range of funders and services.

Big Lottery Community Fund YACs — a continuation of the Young Adult Carer project, again funded by the Big Lottery. Aimed at supporting young adult carers aged 16-25 to equip them with the confidence and skills to remedy life issues that may prevent them progressing and reaching their potential. To encourage them to see past their caring role to a future where they can achieve personally and professionally with the same opportunities as their non-caring peers. The closing balance as shown at 31st March 2022 of £5,089, consists of fixed assets of £230 to be depreciated over future years plus a useable fund of £4,859.

Hospital 2 Home is a new contract with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, providing a service similar to Home from Hospital in North Yorkshire. Short-term help for those who live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, mainly Bridlington and Driffield areas, being discharged from hospital. The contract was originally a 12-month project; we were fortunate enough to have the contract extended a further 14 months to finish March 2022. The closing balance as shown at 31st March 2022 of £2,836, consists of fixed assets of £418 to be depreciated over future years and a useable fund of £2,418.

Purpose of restricted funds — continued

Caring with Active Confidence is for carers 18+ years old, to come together to gain peer support and share experiences. Sessions are planned with carers involvement and carers help to facilitate the group as volunteers. These sessions have been mainly running virtually through Zoom when Covid-19 has prevented any face-to-face sessions. The original funding for this project came from a Carers Trust grant and we managed to secure further funding from 2 Ridings to extend sessions into 2021. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £149 consists of fixed assets to be depreciated in future years.

Starfish 2 is a three-year project funded by BBC Children in Need and carried on from the original and successful ‘Starfish’ Project. The project is for Young Carers and enables us to extend support we can offer through the core NYCC contract. Starfish 2 focusses on helping young carers look forward, helping them gain skills and confidence needed to move forward with their lives. Also, to empower them to help other young carers through voice and representation — to inform adults with influence. The closing balance as shown at 31* March 2022 of £1,186, consists of fixed assets of £487 to be depreciated in future years and a useable fund of £699.

Scarborough Foundation is for supporting Young Carers with various activities, including a monthly Youth Club and individual bursaries to Young Carers to improve their ‘social mobility’. Other aspects to the funding include positive mindset coaching with an external facilitator which helped young carers with stress reduction and mental resilience.

Going Further Going Higher is a 2 year project funded by Carers Trust. Only 4 Network Partners in the country were awarded the project. The project aims to increase recruitment and retention rates of YAC’s in further or higher education, by empowering and training Young Adult Carers to act as Ambassadors in their colleges. They will help to create a more inclusive environment for new students who are also Young Adult Carers.

YAC Quilters is another fund gained through Carers Trust for supporting Young Adult Carers through activities. This was a 9-month project to employ a dedicated activity worker to support the core service currently provided to YAC’s through the Big Lottery Community Fund.

Community Support Organisation set up by NYCC as part of their response to the Covid-19 outbreak. A partnership between Carers Plus Yorkshire, Ryedale Carers Support, Ryedale Community Transport to help co-ordinate a number of localised Covid-19 networks across the Ryedale area to help Ryedale communities meet the challenges of Covid-19. The closing balance as shown at 31° March 2022 of £12,869, consists of fixed assets of £332 to be depreciated over future years and a useable fund of £12,537.

Purpose of restricted funds — continued

Coronavirus Funds is a collection of 10 separate funding streams including 2 Ridings, Triangle Trust, NYCC, National Lottery Community Fund, Carers Trust and Ryedale District Council. The funding primarily aimed to maximise the support that Carers Plus Yorkshire could provide during the Covid-19 pandemic. This enabled us to employ new staff and offering more hours to current members of staff. Working from home provided new challenges so the funding helped to buy new IT equipment for our staff, in particular laptops; these were necessary to help our clients whilst working in the office was not possible. Other expenditure included staff wellbeing calls, client materials and personal protective equipment. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £5,986 consists of fixed assets to be depreciated over future years.

Adult Mental Health involved two funders — 2 Ridings and Ryedale District Council. The funding allowed us to appoint an external mental health specialist who would offer direct 1 to 1 support to our adult carers allowing us to better equip them before challenges took hold.

Community Connect was funding by the Big Lottery. This paid for a community link worker and a volunteer co-ordinator for a six-month period. The project is completed, the closing balance as shown at 31% March 2022 of £831 consists of fixed assets to be depreciated in future years.

Winter Volunteering from NHS Humber was funding for the development of a volunteer coordinator to recruit and focus volunteer support in Malton Hospital. The funding originally covered 4 months over the winter period until 31% March 2021, but we were fortunate to have this extended a further 6 months.
