Chair's Report
Our services for unpaid carers have been well used throughout the year, as you can read in the rest of this
report. Post pandemic we have moved lo a model where we support carers through services provided both in
person, online and via phone.
Our financial position remains strong, wth only a slight drop in reserves from the previous year. This puts us on
a good fooling for providing services next year.
The team at CHCC, led by our COO Joanna Brunt. should be congratulated on the huge effort in applying for
funding and for keeping a strict control of costs.

Financial Review
The COVID 19 Pandemic significantly increased the needs of our beneficiaries. The Charity was in a strong
position to respond to the increased needs and altered ways of working the Pandemic brought about. The
results of the year's operations are sel out in the Financial Slalements. Total incoming resources amounted to
£197.15012022.. £225,438) and total resources expended amounted lo £203,75512022.. £226.6931, resulting in
a small deficit of £6,605 for the year {2022'. deficit £1,255}. This deficit is due to the expenditure of £18,587 of
unrestricted funds lo facilitate the uninterrupted delivery of essential, valuable activities and development of
new services for our beneficiaries. The success of the laller meant that the Reslricled Funds held increased by
£11,982 from £39,641 to £51,623 over the year enabling us to maintain activities into the coming year.
Resenles pollcy
The Charity sets aside funds, as unrestricted reserves, to meet future anticipated or conlingenl expenditure, in
particular lo.. cover staffing costs such as sickness or redundancy, to develop new activities and lo ensure the
continuity of services through difficult financial periods. The Board of Trustees decided the desired level of the
"free" reserves should be between 3- and 6-months recurrent expenditure
al the lime this amounted to
£100.000 £160,000, Recurrent expenditure is currently al a reduced level applying the same approach would
require reserves between £56,000 and £100,000. While, in anlicipalion of growth in activity, the Board
considers il prudent to maintsin the reserves al a higher level. 11, none the less, remains prepared lo use
unrestricted reserves to develop and build new services for ils beneficiaries.
At the end of the financial year the free reserves stood at £138,032 12022.. £156,619). This will enable the
Trustees to accept financial risk and the charity to continue to develop new services to address the significant
impact the Cost of Living crisis will have on beneficiaries.
Risk
The most significant risk faced by the Charity, as with many other small charities, is maintaining sufficient
funding to provide for the needs of its service users. Our beneficiaries were particularly badly affected by the
COVID19 pandemic and the Trustees anlicipale they will be further adversely affected by wider socio-economic
and political challenges,. the cost of living crisis, high interest rates and changes to benefit systems.

CITY & HACKNEY CARERS CENTRE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES, REPORT
For the year ended 31 March 2023
The increasing use of web-based technology to serve the needs of our beneficiaries through the Pandemic and
the periods of isolation and lock-down il has increased the risks of cyber-attack and the need for electronic data
security. The Trustees believe that reasonable dats security measures are in place they continue to look into
further steps to enhance protections.
Going concem
The Trustees believe that the level of reserves will enable the current level of activity to be sustained for more
than 12 months while we continue to develop new services and identify new partners. In consequence the
Trustees believe that the Charity will be able lo continue as a going concern into 2025 and beyond.
