WANDSWORTH CARERS, CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities A key theme for this year has been partnership, both developing new ones and continuing to strengthen and revitalise e￿$tIng collaborations. We worked with Carers and our colleagues in Heath, Social Care and the Youth Servlce to develop a new Carer and Young Carers Charter replacing an 80-page document with a one-page dynamic charter that all partners signed up to deliver from 2024-2027 to cover Working Together, Health & Wellbeing, Young Carers and Carers in the Wider Community. We were delighted to come together for the first time with Sound Minds to develop & deliver a 10-month Mental Health Wellbeing Project to help improve the wellbeing of people from Black Asian and Minority Ethnicities living with or caring for someone with a mental health condition. As well as coming together to discuss mental health related topics the project delivered some creative visual art workshops. Our work with our friends at the Royal Trinity Hosplce has enabled many Carers to Vlsit and experience the wonderful world of the hospice and to feel the warmth and compassion of an organisation that is about living well as people approach the end of life, and to see the support they give to Carers and families. We were sad to come to the end of our LGBT+ project but proud of the LGBT+ Awareness Training that we delivered to 450 people from 27 organI￿tiOns, and reathlng beyond our London ￿rnIt, to dellver training in Wales and produce a recording that will be transcribed into the Welsh Language! However worklng in partnership with the volunteers in this project has meant that the peer support group is continuing to meet providing friendship and support to Carers from the LG8T+ community. Many other partnershiF6 continue to flourish and as we look forward to the coming year we are delighted to report that fundlng has been secured from the South London Integrated Care board to fvnd a Young Carer5 Schools Link Worker, a new development not just for Wandsworth Carers, Centre but a first for Wandsworth as a whole. What Carers have said about our services This place is so fabulous. You are all sc lovely and always smiling. I hope one day to be able to give back and volunteer for you. Your dedication and support at all levels is pricelessl The only consistent support I have experienced I love the carers centre. I have 4 children all on the spectrum and you have always been informative and helpful, provlding me with the right support. You have saved me many times. You are a phenomenal Servi￿ and a godsend to me. I feel 5ike a little piece of heaven opened up above me after speaking with you. The best support I have had, the respite was a lifesaver. Thank you for seelng me. Havlng this face to face meetlng has lifted some of the anxlety and worry that has plagued me recently. A Carers Experlence M5 L is the primary Carer for her 8-year-cld son who has a physical disability and requires constant Ca￿ to support with his many medical needs. The Carer also has three other children and has hEY own health concerns meaning she is often in pain. Ms L came to Wandsworth Carer5' Centre feeling very anxious and worried; her 50n had been out of school for over 2 years due to difficulties With finding the correct school to meet his needs. The Carer was struggling to communicate with Wandsworth council to ensure her son was receiving an Education, Health and Care plan (EHC) and she needed some support to communicate her concerns. To assist Ms ¥ the support worker first reassured her we could advocate for her and followed up with the EHC plan coordinator at the council. The support worker directly emailed the coordinator to facilitate communication and confirm receipt of the necessary documents. The coordinator informed the support worker that Carer's son was on a waiting list and that the panel would be contacts'ng her soon. The support worker updated the Carer which greatly ￿dUCed her anxiety knowing that there was a professional following up. Having addre￿d the presenting needs of the Carer, the support worker then explored grant options with her and completed grant application fur a Tablet to Carers Trust which was successful meaning the Carer could support her son to speak virtually to a speech and language therapist, The Tablet Significantly benefited the Carer's son meaning he could engage with educational materials but also use the Tablet for entertainment whilst he is away from his school friends. The Carer was extremely happy with the support she retrived and tt)Id us she felt much less stressed about her Son's situation and hopeful that things were improvin9 for them.

WANDSWORTH CARERS, CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Some Facts and Figures We are proLAd to have delivered,, 195 peer sUPPOrt sessions held 2,873 hours of re5Plte awarded 555 new Carer5 registered 980 back care appointments delivered 895 advice appointments 29,500 newsletters sent to Carers and profe55ionals 895 Adwce appointments delivered 65 training sessions delivered FINANCIAL REVIEW Flnancial position Whilst the increase in total annual expenditure was greater than the rise in income Wandsworth Carers, Centre was still able to recortl a surplus for the year of £53,356, which brings total reserves up to £708,767, The nature of the organisation dictate5 that staff are its largest cost and higher payroll liabilities account for the majority of the increase in total annual expenditure, Wlth the exception of payroll the charity managed to provide its services to carers at a similar cost to the year before. Looking ahead.. as its main 9Jurce of income (the Carers Support ServKe Contract) rises in line with annual inflation WCC'S financial position should be relatively unaffected by future price increases. Prlncipal funding sources Princikxil funding sources in the year were contracts and grants from London Borough of Wandsworth and grants from the Carers Trust. Reserves pollcy The policy of the charlty Is to malntain free reserves at a level whlch equates to at least 20% 400/0 of antlcipated expendlture for the following year. The current level of free reseNes remains sufficient to achieve this objective, We have designated part of our unrestricted reserves to show how much has b*n earmarked for particular purposes (see the fund note in the financial statements). FUTURE PLANS We will continue to work closely with our colleagues In Chlldren's Services, Health and public health, to build on the advances made this year in raising awareness of the needs of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. We feel confident that together we can smojth the referral processes for these young people, increase professional awareness to aid identlfication to ensure that the inequalities they face can be addressed and their life chances enhanced. We will look to enhance seryices to Carers of people with mental health challenges by working collaboratively with statutory and voluntary servlces, ensuring the Carers voice is heard. Providing high quality services Is alway5 one of our key objectlves and to this end we are working on the externally assessed Improving Quallty mark (IQ) which we will attain in the next year.
