SHEFFCARE LIM￿ED CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 A very warm weltome to this year's annual review. In both my 2020 and 2021 report I highlighted how the year had been unprecedented and exceptional. It would seem that 'exceptional' and 'unprecedented' are words and terms that seem be the new normal as we have once again experienced an exceptional and unprecedented year. I would like again to say a huge thank you and to pay tribute the staff tearns that have continued to provide exceptional care for the people that choose to live in our homes. Adversity has visited us and tested us in a number of different formats this year. Whilst the lethal threat of covid has, thankfully, somewhat diminished, the constant'lockdowns, as two or more staff members report covid symptoms has significantly affected our ability to accept new people into our homes. The much-heralded changes to legalisation to 'solve the problems of social care, has been, well, disappointing to say the least,. the political uncertainty that exists has not helped to 5tabilise the situation. The funding crisis in adult social care continues both nationally and locally. In Sheffield, the local authority continues to pay a very low tariff for our services compared to other local authorities across the country. This year we experienced a particularly challenging uplift in our fees from Sheffield City Council. The war in Ukraine ha5 led to the national c05t of living crisi5 that we are all eMperiencin8, this has hit the budgets of our staff members. It has also affected the cost of just about all items in our supply chain, and, of course, the cost of fuel that we use predominantly to heat our properties has increased dramatically. We have cut back in a number of areas but we cannot and will not compromise on warmth and good food in our homes. The country 15 experiencing full employment, of course thi5 15 a great thin& however, it also mean5 that recruiting and retaining staff in the social care sector is even harder. Whilst we have battled adversity, we have also sought to work to our strategic plan and this year we have fully opened our new Valley Wood Home. Valley Wood's history wa5 a5 a nursing horne that closed when it no longer became financially viable. We purchased it and completely refurbished it. It is now our new home for people that experience dementia. Valley Wood was nearby two of our older homes and although the care was excellent, the facilities were not suitable for the future needs of our residents. so both homes came together in a newly refurbished building under the new name of Valley Wood. Thi5 year ha5 been challenging financially. We continue to be IN a good financial p051tion, thanks to prudent measure5 taken by our leadership team. Sheffcare has once again proved itself to be an effective, resilient organisation. We have risen to the challenges we have faced with a sense of collaboration, with kindness and as a team. We continue to look to the future and the opportunities that it will present with confidence and optimism. Sheffcare exi5t5 to serve people in the cornrnunitie5 that we work within, our st3ff teams have once again Stood firm in the face of adversity and delivered excellent care to the people that live in our homes. This is our purpose and this is what we will carry on doing. Dr David Johnson, Chairman Date 24 January 2023 Page12

TRUSTEES’ REPORT INCORPORATING A STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

Objectives and Activities

a. Policies and objectives

Sheffcare provides a range of services across Sheffield: residential social care, day care services, and specialist dementia services. This is delivered across nine sites. Sheffcare is in a strong market position being the largest social care provider in the area. Sheffcare has a strong and proud heritage, for over twenty years Sheffcare has delivered excellent care to the people who use our services. This is reflected by external monitoring reports from commissioners and regulators, along with positive comments from our annual surveys.

b. Our Purpose

To be the best provider of person-centred care to the people of Sheffield and the surrounding area.

c. Our Guiding Principle

Putting people who use our services at the heart of everything we do.

d. Our Values

Care will be delivered with compassion, dignity and respect putting the resident at the very heart of care delivery.

We ensure our care is safe, effective, individualised and is continually monitored and improved to meet new standards.

We actively value the contribution of all our staff through recognition, training and development.

e. Public Benefit

In setting the objectives for the year and planning the required activities the Board of Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. In particular the trustees ensure that planned activities contribute to the charity's aims and objectives and in doing so Sheffcare continue to provide excellent care related services to the people of Sheffield and its surrounding area.

The trustees of Sheffcare firmly believe that the care services provided have been most beneficial to its residents and day centre attendees and that this has been proven by the positive feedback provided by residents, residents families, staff, stakeholders and regulators. By providing an excellent, professional, service Sheffcare has had a huge positive impact on local care services and the people that use them thus enhancing the quality of life within the local area.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee with a share capital. Its governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

b. Method of appointment and policy adopted for induction and training of trustees

Trustee vacancies are recruited depending on the particular skills and expertise which is required at the time to ensure that the widest possible range of expertise relevant to the charitable company’s objects is maintained. New trustees are interviewed by members of the Board and appointed where they have the necessary skills to contribute to the effective governance of the Charity. On being appointed trustees receive a copy of the governing document, the most recent statutory accounts, an induction pack, and are introduced to the workings of the charity.

c. Organisational structure and decision making

Sheffcare Limited is governed by a Board of Trustees from whom day to day control is vested in a Chief Executive. Board meetings are held a minimum of six times each year and are supported by a Finance subcommittee, which is attended by a number of trustees, depending on their particular expertise. This year we established a new Quality sub-committee. The purpose of the committee is:

The overall management of Sheffcare is provided by the Chief Executive, together with a small executive management team. Day to day responsibility for each home is delegated to a Registered Manager.

d. Pay policy for senior staff

The senior executive team is a small team of four. Pay for the Executive Team has been set by the trustees and is reviewed by the whole board on an annual basis. The pay scales are in line with those paid for similar roles within the wider care sector. It is essential that salaries are set at a level which both attract, retain and motivate staff. This is a consideration for the trustees when agreeing salary scales and salary increases.

e. Related party relationships

The charitable company Sheffcare Limited is the sole shareholder of Sheffcare Services Limited, whose principal activities are the negotiation and management of publicly funded contracts.

Strategic Report

Achievements and performance

a. Operating environment

Sheffcare is proud to be a not-for-profit organisation. We continue, like all social care providers, to be in a very challenging economic climate where costs and inflation are rising significantly. This is compounded by our continuing reliance upon Sheffield Local Authority for the majority of our residents and service users’ fees, which for the year was an average of 72% of all residents which is 1% lower than the previous year. Local authorities still pay a lower rate than self-funders which reduces income revenue and does not cover our full costs. This will result in significantly reduced income when the upcoming social care reforms come in, allowing private fee payers to request the local authority to arrange their care at the local authority rate. All local authorities will be required to carry out an exercise to establish the fair cost of care in 2022 and we await the outcome of that piece of work. Sheffield City Council still continue to promote

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

care at home as the preferred option, the impact on Sheffcare being a shorter length in stay and a more dependent resident upon admission.

Occupancy still remains affected by the impact of COVID 19, and although occupancy rates are rising in some homes, we are not back to pre-pandemic levels. As a result, we have remained very cautious in our budget forecasts.

This year we were able to purchase and refurbish a new care home which opened in March 2022 as Valley Wood, an alldementia home with 54 beds. In line with our strategy, we closed two of our old ex-local authority care homes, Castelayn and Paddock Hill, which had smaller rooms and no en-suite facilities. Valley Wood is very close to both Castelayn and Paddock Hill care homes and supports the same part of Sheffield’s local community.

All Castelayn and Paddock Hill residents were offered upgraded accommodation, at no additional cost at either Valley Wood or other Sheffcare homes. All staff from the two homes were offered employment at either Valley Wood or other Sheffcare homes and no member of staff was made redundant.

b. Volunteer and Staff Survey

At Sheffcare we recognise that our staff and volunteers are our greatest asset. Our staff surveys consistently demonstrate high levels of satisfaction across all areas. Consequently, we have some of the best retention rates in adult social care. Through the past year even when it was not possible for groups of people to come together physically, we have continued to invest in and develop our staff through e-learning and remote training. We furloughed staff who were required to self –isolate in line with Government Covid 19 guidance and these members of staff were paid their full pay.

Covid has had a huge impact on our volunteers ability to work with us, but we are very grateful to those who have been able to carry out their roles, including dedicated befrienders who have maintained supported window and pod visits. Our Everyone Matters Group meets regularly and gives representative members of staff from across the organisation the opportunity to come together, share ideas, raise issues and problem solve together.

c. Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The CQC regulate our services and either visit or assess remotely to ensure that we are adhering to the national minimum standards. All our services have been inspected. Nine services out of the ten have been rated as Good. One home was rated as “Requires Improvement” in 2019 and an action plan was completed to address the particular area of concern. Unfortunately we have not yet had a further inspection to give us the opportunity to have the rating updated. We continue with our strategy to move services from Good to Outstanding and have action plans in place to ensure that the home which requires improvement is rated Good on future inspections.

d. Technology

Technology continues to support our plans at Sheffcare as we progress with our rollout of Person Centred Care (PCS) implementing electronic care plans across the charity. All nine homes now use PCS, with the longest established homes supporting those who were further down the roll-out process. This is a key area of investment for Sheffcare as utilising technology can assist us in enhancing our care provision. Other areas of technology will be reviewed by the Board to evaluate their suitability for Sheffcare.

Risk management

The Executive team and Trustees regularly review and scrutinise the organisation’s risk register; identifying the major risks to which the charity is exposed and ensuring that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks. The main risks are detailed below together with the steps taken to manage and mitigate those risks.

Page | 6

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ REPORT INCORPORATING A STRATEGIC REPORT (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

a. Safety and Compliance Risk

Fire risk and simulated evacuations are being managed and mitigated for with a series of actions agreed with the Fire Department and monitored by The Health and Safety Officer John Dawson.

Adverse weather planning is included in the Emergency and Business Continuity Plans to manage and mitigate for this risk as far as possible. Actions include the Property Services Manager (PSM) reviewing Snow and Ice Plan; ensuring sufficient stock of gritting materials is pre-positioned before onset of cold weather. Registered managers monitor the weather forecasts and are proactive with gritting procedures. Individual care homes identify vital walkways and areas at most risk and staff to pre-treat these areas as priority.

b. Business Risk

Major Asset Failure or Major Incident

Many of the care homes have old mechanical, electrical and engineering equipment that could be liable to failure. We mitigate, by mandatory inspection/service schedules, as part of a planned maintenance regime and have in place a contingency plan for replacements. All homes could experience a major incident such as flooding or fire. Any such incident would require implementation of the Business Emergency Plan. Managers and Central Support Staff have a firm understanding on what measures are required in reaction to an incident.

COVID 19

The low levels of occupancy at Sheffcare due to the impact of COVID 19 has been reflected in care homes throughout the country and represents a significant business risk if occupancy doesn’t improve.

Sheffcare has made use of the additional national funding for rapid testing, infection prevention and control and workforce recruitment and retention in order to maintain high standards of safety and care. We continue to work on our external communication in order to share pictures and good news stories that help reassure people that we continue to provide high quality of care, accessible visiting and meaningful activities in all of our care homes.

SYPA Scheme Deficit

A significant deficit in the South Yorkshire Pension Authority fund could have a major financial impact on the business when the last employee, who is part of that scheme, leaves Sheffcare. We currently have 8 remaining staff in the scheme. Sheffcare remain in contact with Sheffield City Council (who is the guarantor of the Sheffcare scheme) and the South Yorkshire Pension Scheme to discuss options regarding the future of the scheme.

Funding Risks

There is a heavy reliance on local authority funding for many residents and we recognise that the level of funding received could be at risk in times of austerity or economic decline. The new upcoming national policy changes allowing privately funded residents to request that the local authority arrange their care for the same local authority fee also presents a serious financial risk. This threatens the viability of the entire care home sector.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Financial review

a. Results of the year

As shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 15, total income in the year amounted to £12,324,290 (2021: £13,328,280) and our total expenses amounted to £12,671,083 (2021: £12,384,470) resulting in a pre-pension adjustment operating deficit of £346,793 compared to a surplus of £943,810 in 2021. Staff costs during the year amounted to 73% of income, of which 69% is Care and 4% Administration (2021: Care 66%, Administration 3%).

During the year average occupancy levels were 73% (2021: 81 %.)

There was an actuarial gain on the defined benefit pension scheme of £1,850,000 (2021: gain of £252,000). The overall surplus for the year was £1,503,207 (2021: surplus £1,195,810).

Total funds carried forward at 31 March 2022 were £5,212,880 (2021: £3,709,673) of which £4,797,606 (2021: £3,168,282) are unrestricted and £415,274 (2021: £541,391) are restricted.

b. Pension scheme

The charity provides a defined benefit pension scheme available to certain employees. This pension benefit is provided by the charity’s contribution to the South Yorkshire Pension Authority Scheme (SYPA). In common with many defined benefit pension schemes, the charity’s scheme is in deficit as detailed in note 21. Under the provisions of FRS102, the charity is required to show this deficit within its balance sheet. The reported FRS102 deficit, this year, has decreased from £5.14m to £3.39m during the year. This movement is principally driven by the actuarial gain on the plan assets amounting to £1.85m during the period.

The trustees have received information from the scheme’s actuaries regarding the deficit and additional contributions are being made in order to eliminate the deficit over a reasonable period. The Trustees believe this to be in line with common practice for organisations with defined benefit pension schemes and is certainly in line with other members of SYPA. The trustees acknowledge that the deficit is real and will have to be addressed over a reasonable timescale, but do not believe that it significantly impairs the ability of the charity to continue in operation in the short term. The additional contributions have been factored into the company’s budgets, business plans and cash flow forecasts. The pension deficit is shown separately within unrestricted funds for charity.

c. Reserves Policy

The charity’s reserves policy has been reviewed by the trustees in the year, and it has been agreed that a more risk based approach to reserves is appropriate.

The main area of risk for the organisation continues to be that of a fall in occupation levels. The trustees have set a reserves policy amount 8% below the prevailing break-even position. Budgets have been prepared for the financial year 2022-23 which forecast that the occupancy level at the break-even position is 81%.

Utilising the outputs from the budgets and other risk registers to identify the impact of the financial risks, whilst also factoring in the suggested level of Board approved Designated Funds. The Reserves Target for 2021-22 was as follows:

Maximum annual cash impact of beds fees falling 8% below current break-even levels £1,140,319 Contingency to cover un-budgeted capital and project expenditure (standard) £50,000 SYPA Scheme Deficit Repayment (standard) £46,800 Board Approved Designated Funds (reviewed annually) £100,000 Free Reserves Target – March 2022 £1,337,119

Page | 8

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

£1,431,200

The results of the year show a surplus of £94,081 on the free reserves target as set out in the adopted Reserves Policy above. Any excess funds over the Reserves Policy requirement could, at the Board’s discretion, be utilised to invest in change related initiatives or capital projects in line with Sheffcare’s strategy. The non-standard elements are to be reviewed annually in-line with the budget approval process.

A summary of reserves at 31 March 2022 is:

Trustees’ interests

None of the trustees who held office at the end of the financial year had any interest in the charitable company.

Liability insurance

Insurance for trustees and officers against liabilities in relation to the company, as permitted by the Companies Act 2006, is in place. The cost of maintaining liabilities insurance during the year amounted to £1,799 (2021: £1,439).

Employees and Volunteers

The charitable company has a policy of offering employment / volunteering opportunities to persons with disabilities, where possible, as part of our overall equal opportunities policy.

Strategy and Future Plans - Summary

Sheffcare continues to focus on developing further residential and day care services for people living with dementia as we move away from providing general residential care which is increasingly being delivered in a community setting. This is in line with our strategy which aims to deliver excellence in dementia care.

We continue to review care homes in Sheffield which come on to the market to determine if they are a suitable acquisition for Sheffcare as we move towards creating higher environmental standards such as en-suite facilities and increased indoor and outdoor space.

We continue to invest in the development and expansion of meaningful activities, events and trips for our residents. We are also committed to maintaining and developing links with the local communities that surround our care homes and our day centres.

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHEFFCARE LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Sheffcare Limited (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022, and of the group’s 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 auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 group and parent 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 other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees’ report. 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

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHEFFCARE LIMITED

thereon. 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 course of 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report.

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

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the

accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent 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 group and parent 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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SHEFFCARE LIMITED

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with this Act.

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

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

We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by;

To address the risks of fraud through management bias and override controls, we:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards­ and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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's members as a body for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Company Status

The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee with share capital. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. 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.

1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

Sheffcare Limited is a charitable company in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are on page 3 of these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) (issued in October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.

Sheffcare Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies act 2006 and has not presented its own statement of financial activities in these financial statements. The surplus for the Charity is £1,503,215.

1.3 1.3 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.4 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Page | 21

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.5 Income

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

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the company where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

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 economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.

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

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for a specific purpose 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.

CJRS income is recognised in the period to which the claim relates.

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

Page | 22

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1.6 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

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 of 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.

Costs of raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and governance costs are costs incurred by the company in relation to providing residential care, respite care and specialist care services including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised at purchase cost.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property - 50 years
Leasehold property - 25/50 years or the term of the lease if shorter
Leasehold renovations - 5-10 years
Fixtures and fittings - 4 years
Motor vehicles - 4 years

1.8 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Page | 23

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.9 Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.11 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.13 Pension costs

The charity contributes to a pension scheme operated by The South Yorkshire Pension Authority providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension scheme assets are measured using market values. Pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability.

The pension scheme deficit is recognised in full. The movement in the scheme deficit is split between operating charges, finance items and actuarial gains and losses. Further details regarding the scheme are disclosed in note 21.

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the SOFA in the year they are payable.

1.14 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Page | 24

SHEFFCARE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.15 Taxation

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1.16 Employee benefits

The cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

1.17 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounts estimates and assumptions:

The charitable company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The following estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below.

South Yorkshire Pension Fund Liability:

The present value of the liability depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying value of the liability.

Property valuations:

The carrying value of property and annual impairment reviews are subject to assessment involving estimates on future occupancy and state of repair of the properties.

Support costs:

Some costs incurred by the charity such as IT, insurance, and postage are shared between activities. The charity's policy is to allocate these costs on the basis of assessed consumption. This includes allocation between funds which are material by nature.

21. Pension commitments

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme with NEST. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund and amounted to £149,541 (2021: £157,980).

The company also operates a defined benefit funded statutory pension scheme administered by the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority in accordance with the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 1995. A tri-annual actuarial valuation of this fund was last carried out in accordance with the Regulations as at 31 March 2019.

The principal actuarial assumptions at the Balance Sheet date (expressed as weighted averages) were:

2022 2021
Discount rate at 31 March 2.70% 2.10%
Future salary increases 4.30% 3.95%
Future pension increases 3.30% 2.80%

FRS102 requires the present value of pension liabilities to be calculated by discounting pension commitments, including salary growth, at an AA corporate bond yield. The FRS102 value of liabilities at March 2022 was £24,750,000 (2021: £25,209,000) and the market value of assets was £21,364,000 (2021: £20,074,000) giving a scheme deficit of £3,386,000 (2021: £5,135,000).
