Financial Review The charity sustained a loss for the year of £89k after depTeciation of £45k was charged. The rnain reason for the deficit was that the board agreed to fund the £87k deficit on the Parents Support Service from reserves. The fanCIal p¢rfom)an¢e of each of our s¢rvi¢es is closely managed to ensure that they are financially viable on a continuing basis. Our current business model, staffing shortsges. different Cornmissioning and the shortage of appropriate grants continues to affect our ability to increase OUT income. It has been a challenging year however, the dIlcult decision that needed to be made arouttd finances and Structure are now proceeding and will be actioned as part of the next years Transformational action plan. We have reserves to support us to redefine who we aTe as a cbarity and we will continue lo ensure that risk management is an iniegral part of governance and planninglpToject management processes. Principal Risks and Uncert#inties FiA&fteial Éffe¢r ofsignifie4nl events We have been operating against a backdrop of over l O yeats of sterity the Ealing Council's government grant has been cut by 64 0/0 based on a 2020 report by the [ndOn Councils organisation and Ealing Council is CUTTently overspent by £21 million. witb a predominant 'oversp¢nd', panicularly in social services. There is an expectation of cuts and changes in the way scrvices are commissioned. We have identified for some time that lo survive we need to change. Mlhilst we bave built uplgrown what has arguably been the largest personal budget fund¢d adult day activities PTovision in Ealing. a model that has seTved us well, generating Si1]rICant unrestricted and surplus income to pay for the core costs of the charity_ We Identified some hrne ago that tkn5 business model is Dow vulnerable and must be changed. It has taken this financ?al year with the support of an outside commissioned service Charity Aids Foundation (CAF) to move us fotivard. We have sttuggled to consider chang¢ mainly because we ar¢ still delivering seryices lo our legacy day opporfunity customers, whilst receiving reduced refea]s. However, it has oow been agreed that ow ambitions as a charity need to cbange. we will continue to use some of the allocated surplus agreed last y¢ar to f¢-d¢v¢lop and rcfocus some aspects of our chantable work. We will be restructuring our semor management team as the cole fun¢tions of tb¢ organisation5 are currently operatins at pre pandemic levels and are not fit for purpose, plus they ar¢ operating at a silficant fuwicial deficit. Whilsr we are concerned. we are equally optsmi5tsc that we will tbriv¢ and cbange the charity and we will continue to meet the needs of our beneficiaries. 9lld stskeholders and reacb those that we do not currently serve using our 23124 focused aciion plan as aid and driver. Reserves Poltcy And Going Concern Reserves are needed to bndge the gap betweeD tbe spending and receiving of income and to Ver unplanned emergency repajrs and oiher expenditure. The true¢S consider that the ideal level of Eeserves Js ai 31 March 2023 would be the quivalent of 3 months budgeted costs being £458k and that these should be designaied from unrestricted reserves. Total unrestricted funds at 31 March 2023 were £762k. Of Ihcse, £169k was designated for the "Survive and Thrive" project to redevelop and refocus some fundamental stratcgic aspects of our chan"table work to be undertaken over the course of 2022 & 2023. After designating £458k as required by the reseNes policy, und¢sIated unrestriaed reserves lolalled £165k. Page 8

For the past two years we have focused on tbe inequalities of hea]th, wealth. opportunity and digital in¢lusion. Given feedback we have received and the cuyreni external fa¢tOTS- it is ¢le4r that a root and braDch reform of health and social care is desperately needed as the cutrent sysrem which governs and Ojnds th¢ way peopl¢ with a learning dtsability are supported is bjndatnentslly broken.
