CHAIR’S STATEMENT
if
|
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
| I | [i
| am delighted to present my report for the year 2020-21. This year more than any previously has been
unprecedented in our lifetime, a time of both substantial change and challenges. It has also been ons in i
which Carers’ Resource has delivered positive outcomes helping so many people through the crisis of the
Covid-19 pandemic. | fa
March 2020 saw a new way of life imposed on us all with the outbreak of Covid-19. New words entered our :lf
vocabulary with lockdown, furlough, PPE, social distancing, and the R rate. Alongside these terms cams
new ways of working, so that we could ensure our continued support to carers and vulnerable people, ‘fa
making their lives easier. The teams at Carers’ Resource rose to the challenges and created ways of
working which allowed us to operate and maintain contact with so many groups and individuals. { would like iG
:
to give a huge thank you to all the staff and volunteers for their incredible hard work and dedication during =
Covid-19. The brilliant and creative response from the teams at Carers’ Resource has ensured we offered theLt
the best support we could, whilst keeping people safe.
This year has been a real challenge for both our staff and volunteers but also the vulnerable people and lf
famllies we support. We have learnt much about how we can continue to help in the most difficult of
circumstances and we will use these lessons to Inform how we improve our services in the future. \f
How we make a difference Is always difficult to capture and summarise as the variety of work and activities | 4.
that have been undertaken has yet again been substantial and wide ranging.
However, | would like to highlight some major successes. We; {é
, e worked with some 14% of carers in our geographical area, up frorn previous years \@
«introduced a carer card with over 1,000 now being issued
established a new data base to improve efficiency and help target our work better i@
- refreshed our 3 year strategy, engaging staff and trustees .
e Care@ began a new initiative with North Yorkshire on Supported Living In Skipton if
¢ worked in partnership to develop a cookbook for young carers -
« established new ways of remote working for staff and virtual meetings if
e¢ facilitatedsupported carerscarers toto claimget their overvaccines £600,000 of benefits if;
As a result of Covid-19, many new funds came on stream to support the community and we enabled over \@
£100,000 to be distributed to help those in hardship due to Covid-19. The work of our community care
service, Care@, has gone from strength-to-strength, but difficulties In recruitment of workers means we i4
haven't always been able to extend services to meet need, as we would wish in their future ventures.
The Board continues to consider ways we can invest our resources to improve services. A number of posts if
have been extended to support development work with families, young people, volunteers and an allotment %
worker for the newly acquired plot. Most recently we have commissloned a new website to make access to 'f
our services easier. It is also planned later In the year that we will be relocating our office premises in &
Harrogate providing a more modem working space. on
| The Board Joins me thanking all those that support our work, partners, suppliers, those who donate so @
| generously In both time and resources to enhance our services. It is through this collective effort that we
: have shown yet again how to make a difference in such difficult times for the vulnerable people and their =
families we support directly and Indirectly across Bradford and North Yorkshire.

STRATEGIC REPORT
icq
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
A summary of the work of the Charity over the year is set out below: ic
The year 2020-21 has been a year like no other, and the organisation had to dig deep to find the rasilience if
to keep on providing support in an environment never before experlenced. Within a couple of weeks the
organisation made the transition from community and office based working to home working using telephone if
and digital support mechanisms. At no point did staff stop offering support and we continued to work with
people throughout the year, often being the only organisation In direct communication with individuals. We iG
also worked closely with a range of other organisations, for example community hubs, to ensure that unmet
needs were picked up and responded to. if
The vaccine programme gave the organisation the opportunity to support carers to get the vaccine and then if
feel more confident to go out and about In society whilst still protecting those at home who were vulnerable. '
The organisation acted as a contact point for carers who were having difficulties being able to register as a £
carer and thus access the vaccine as part of cohort 6. We worked well with the statutory authorities and '
were able to get appointments for carers through the national booking system. Many lessons were learned
during this process which will Inform actions going forward. Parent carers and young carers struggled to if
manage with so many people at home and wo were able to access additional IT equipment for families to
ensure access to education and friends. if
Despite the difficulties in 2020-21 the arganisation worked with 2,691 carers who were new to our services. ie
There were 3,021 face to face contacts, 417 video calls and 29,169 telephone support calls. Attendances at
groups both actual and virtual number was 552, whilst 271 young carers took part in at least one trip and 112 if
young carers attended a group elther actually or virtually. 2,474 people were supported by our "Home from
Hospital” services after their discharge from hospital and 230 carers were referred by hospita! colleagues to if
our carer navigator service. i¢

However, at the beginning of x the pandemic and throughout the first lockdown, referrals dropped dramatically as hospitals focussed on dealing with Covid-19 cases and keeping people out of hospital where possible.

THE CARERS’ RESOURCE z
‘ TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC .
REPORT) (continued) a
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 E
As our first three-year strategic plan was drawing to a conclusion, staff and volunteers were invited to take part E
in a thorough review of all its parts before the board of trustees undertook their review. This exercise reinforced
the Importance of the values, and the operating model, enabling the organisation to keep what was working well E
before adding improvements and changes to the overall plan. The plan provides a strong base for the delivery of
services ensuring effective interventions which Impact positively on the lives of carers and others in need of F
support.
Despite the restrictions imposed by lockdowns and social distancing the organisation rnanaged to introduce a i
number of new initiatives during the course of the year. During the early weeks of lockdown the organisation F
received many requests from carers for a letter proving they were a carer, and therefore we were delighted that
we could introduce a carer Identification card avallable to all carers registered with the organisation, frorn .
December 2020, which had been taken up by over 400 individuals by the and of March 2021. The organisation E
also introduced the offer of support to prepare ‘What if plans encouraging carers to plan for contingencies
where they might need extra support thereby reducing the possibility of crisis situations. E
BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC FROM THE SERVICES OF THE CARERS’ RESOURCE ir
Nationally, it is calculated that carers save the economy around £132 billion pounds per year, and 3 in 5 7
people can expect to become a carer at some point in their lives. The number of people new to caring has
risen significantly since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, as has the amount of support that many i
carers now offer on a daily basis as services traditionally relied on have not been operating.
. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the lockdowns and rules, the fear and anxiety that many people felt, &
the organisation continued to focus on delivering high quality services to those in need to the best of its
abllity. This was challenging In many respects, but ways were found to stl offer support, Information and i
advice to many people who were very isolated and without dally contact. Initially many carers assumed that
. the organisation was closed so staff took the inltiative to contact people directly by phone, and this was &
greatly appreciated. For many people caring, It Is what they do, It is part of their life and they don’t usually
give themselves the label of carer. This was particularly true this year and helping people to recognise that f
there may be support available to ease the strain of caring was challenging as traditional places where
publicity would be displayed were closed. Services are always shaped to meet the needs of individuals and &
there is no charge for any of our services thus reducing as many barriers to access as is possible. However,
profile raising in the local media, was the only way to try to remind different sections of our community about a
; the role of carers in our society. Examples of the support provided include:
¢ Information and advice: Our website was regularly updated and contains relevant information &
about Covid-19 and other matters of interest to carers. Our phone lines remained open throughout
| the year and in November 2020 we launched a dedicated advice line in addition to our normal iC
e One-to-one support: Often carers contact the organisation with a specific request, but due to the
| numbers. Our quarterly magazine, Choices contalned Information about Covid-19. cl
complexity of the caring role it becomes apparent that they need support that is tailored to is
them, exploring with them how best to improve their situation and enable them to continue their ie

Reserves continue to be available A Reserves policy was adopted with a figure of £300k, which takes into account contractually committed expenditure from lease and partner agreements, 60 days’ operational expenditure and statutory redundancy (excluding activity which would be subject to TUPE). The levels of reserves are monitored at each Trustee’s meeting and discussed. When appropriate funds are released to ensure that we meet the needs of our beneficiaries, while also accepting and diminishing any financial risks to the Charity. The Trustees are keen to utilise the reserves to have the best Impact on carers.
There is a continued programme to spend some of the excess reserves in regards to additional staffing: with the current year's budget predicting a £47k over-spend. There is also a view to utilise the reserves to pull together an Internal training curriculum to support “trainee locality workers”.
This year the Trustees supported the following roles and activities:
-
e Young families worker
-
Allotment development
-
« Volunteer co-ordinator e Young carer worker e improvement and development of the database e Development of the website
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The pressure on unpaid carers and many other vulnerable people this year has been immense and has felt quite different from the past. Services and systems that were taken for granted have not been avallable, and people have been confused, bewildered, and frightened. In this environment Carers’ Resource has focussed on its core business, and in reaching out to as many carers as possible.and set itself an ambitious target of doubling the number of carers it Is in contact with. In order to do this a range of inltiatives are planned, including more robust data collection, a more interactive website, community development workers raising the profile of carers in local communlties.
The engagement of carers and others in the design and delivery of Carers’ Resource services has diminished slightly and this is another focus area to ensure that the organisation continues to respond to expressed needs and concems.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Company was incorporated on 9 May 1995 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the Charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Company is limited by guarantee with the lability of members In the event of a winding up being limited to £1 each.
Charity Governance Code
The charity is undertaking a review against the new 2020 Charity Govemance Code as a template, to ensure it is still following best practice. Trustees had training on safeguarding in the year and have planned a session on diversity. It will be considering the rules on membership in the coming year.

reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. a
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in a
writing. if there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before
entitlement can be obtalned, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of
those conditions is within the contro! of the Charity and it |s probable that they will be fulfilled. =
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their ]
economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably, and the Charity has control over the item. Falr -
value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity. For example, the amount the Charity a
would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is
recognised in expenditure. &

| 1 SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) |
i | |
| (f)Impairmentofassets | ||
| The Charity assesses ateach reporting date whether there is an indication that an assetmaybe impaired. If | ||
| anysuch indication exists, the Charitymakes an estimate ofthe asset's recoverable amount | { | |
| . | ||
| _ | An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fairvalue less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely |
j |
| independent ofthose from other assets or groups ofassets. Where the carrying amount ofan assetexceeds | ||
| Its racoverable amount, the asset is considered Impaired and Is written down to Its recoverable amount. | : | |
| In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a | ||
| discount rate that reflects current market assessments ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to | . | |
| the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used, calculations | f | |
| are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other available fair value indicators are used. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in those expense categories consistent with the |
j | |
| function ofthe impaired asset. | ||
| I | ||
| (g) Tangible fixed assets | ° | |
| i | ||
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated Impairment losses. | ‘ | |
| Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable ofoperating as intended. | ||
| . | ||
| Depreciation ts provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write offthe cost, less estimated residual value, ofeach assetonasystematicbasis over its expected useful lifeasfollows: |
. } |
|
| Fixtures and equipment 33% on a straight-line basis |
! | |
| {h) Debtors and creditors recelvable /payable within oneyear | 1 | |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at | I | |
| transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. | ||
1 |
(i) Cash at bankand In hand | |
| i | ||
| Cash at bank and In hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of | . | |
| threemonths or lessfromthedateofacqulsition oropeningthedepositors!mllaraccount. | ||
| (k) Employee benefits | t | |
| When employees have rendered service to the Charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised atthe undiscounted amount expected to be pald in exchange forthat service. |
||
| The Charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of Its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. |
