Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association Trustees are elected at the organisation's annual general meeting. Each year one-third of the Trustees or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third shall retire from office. They may be ‘re-elected.

Objectives and activities

The purpose of the charity is the provision of practical help, emotional support, advice, informal advocacy, health and wellbeing activities and information to unpaid carers in the London Borough of Redbridge. By unpaid carers, we mean people who give help and support to a relative, a child, a spouse or a partner, a friend or a neighbour who, due to disability, illness or frailty/vulnerability, cannot manage in the community without help. We work strategically with partners across all sectors to amplify the voice of our service users and ensure their views and experiences are reflected in policy and decision making. .

Carers can be any age and may or may not be living with the person who needs care. RCSS is an independent, carer-led organisation working with carers for carers.

Achievements and performance

Redbridge Carers Support Service exists to support local carers with their caring responsibilities. More than one in 20 people (21,395 residents) in Redbridge were providing unpaid care as of 2021, Census data shows.

‘A carer is a person who provides unpaid care and support to someone who is ill, disabled, frail or elderly. Carers can be : mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends or partners. A carers' role can often be stressful, demanding and time consuming, as well as physically tiring and mentally draining. The huge positive impact and contribution that unpaid carers make is often unrecognised.

Chair's Report - Debra Hastings-Henry

It is with pleasure that at the time of writing the Chair's Report to accompany this year's audited accounts, I am happy to outline some of the successes and developments at RCSS.

We welcomed Monica Orozco to our Community Support Team and bid a fond farewell to Rosalyn Kirton. Our MH Support Officer, Leah Bulka firmly established our dedicated MH services, improving support and referral pathways for carers and their dependents. In year 1, 114 carers received intensive MH support, and the project delivered 107 hours of counselling and coaching sessions. Setting a strong foundation to build upon in year 2 of the project.

,

Our Community Support Team remains the cornerstone of our work, providing comprehensive advice, support and referrals to carers across our diverse communities. During this reporting year, 235 new carers were registered and supported. We expanded our peer support offer, establishing a monthly MH and wellbeing group, an English Conversation Club for refugee/migrant carers and delivering a 5-week workshop for parent carers in partnership with Appletree Consultants. An exciting new partnership with Create Arts unlocked social and creative opportunities for carers participating in themed workshops, including radio drama.

The funding to increase our dementia support has enabled us to reach and engage 109 new carers and extend outreach activities. Organising regular drop-in sessions at the Memory Service has substantially increased referrals and fostered closer, collaborative working with statutory services. Our involvement in partnership boards, including the Dementia Improvement Board, ensures carers have strong representation in the development and delivery of local services.

On 10th December 2024, RCSS were proud to celebrate 30 years of supporting and raising the profile of carers in ————Redbridge-Service-users;-staffTrustees-and-volunteers~gathered-to-mimportant milestone-at~our annivers a ryrk~this" ~~~ ~~~" party. Our thanks to Redbridge Adult Institute for hosting our event.

As we reflect on another very productive and successful year, I wish to take the opportunity to thank our very deserved staff, volunteers and trustees for all of their hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to improving the lives of carers. I would also like to give thanks to our funders and individual donors who make all of this possible, particularly:

The London Borough of Redbridge (Carers Support Services Contract, provision of MH services to Unpaid Carers)

NHS NEL ICB & The London Borough of Redbridge (Dementia Carers Support)

Healthwatch Redbridge Community Cash Fund (Supporting Carers from Migrant Communities)

Carers Trust (Grants for Carers)

Executive Director's Report and Forward Plan

Another successful and innovative year for RCSS, establishing new partnerships to continue expanding our offer for carers. Listening to service users and drawing upon the experience of stakeholders to inform delivery, underpinning our commitment to carer led services. We fundamentally understand the importance of giving carers a strong voice and the opportunity to shape local services. Our positive relationship with the local authority providing opportunities for carers to speak directly to decision makers. Most recently at the Council's Health & Wellbeing Board in April, where carers shared their experiences and challenges around support, respite and assessments and navigating complex health and social care systems. The ongoing work to embed the Carers Charter and Action Plan will afford more opportunities for meaningful involvement. We are working closely with commissioners on this and welcome the potential for a working - group where carers can actively review and shape the Action Plan.

At the time of writing this report, carers are already benefitting from the successful implementation of the Accelerating Reform funded Hospital Discharge Project. Dedicated Carers Hospital Support Workers established in hospital settings across North East London, helping carers navigate support planning and continuing care.

The positive impact of increased outreach and partnership work is evidenced by the exponential rise in new carer referrals. Our forward plan must focus on effectively managing capacity to ensure we deliver high quality and personalised support. To this end, our focus in the forthcoming year is to review and streamline referral systems, offer more workshops and engagement events and diversify funding. As always, our goal is measured, sustainable growth. Adapting to emerging needs and responding to the voices of our carers. Alongside our Chair, I too wish to thank our staff, volunteers, trustees and service users for their unfaltering dedication.

Our key fundraising and operational objectives are listed below:-

Reserves Policy

The Trustees recognise the need for a reserves policy. To this end they have designated an Operational Reserve and a Contingency Reserve, which in effect are the level of reserves the Trustees believe they need. Over the coming year as a prudent measure the Board reviewed the level of its reserves and increased them to reflect risk. This is to ensure this fund is sufficient to meet the items of potential expenditure and/or loss of income, including the termination and wind down costs of the charity.

Strict transparency is maintained to avoid conflict of interest in respect of:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Redbridge Carers Support Service for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Redbridge Careres Support Service ‘(A company limited by guarantee) Independent auditor's report to the members of Redbridge Carers Support Service For the year ended 31 March 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Redbridge Carers Support Service for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. 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:

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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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.

—————--Eonclusions-relating-to-going-concern-————

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The other information comprisesthe information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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 thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine . whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report included within the Trustees’ Report.

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

.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9 the trustees (who are also the directors of the 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

;

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 it 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.]

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

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’.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.

1.1. Basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Companies Act 2006.

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within_activities_for_generating_funds..when-they_are————~—.—_ sold.

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

1.3. Resources expended _Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management.

1.4. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 33% straight line
