REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees is pleased to present its report together with the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and financial statements for Companies Act purposes.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital and is also registered with the Charity Commission. It is governed by its memorandum of association (last revised 30 March 2021) and articles of association (last revised 30 March 2021) and in the event of the charity being wound up, the maximum liability of each member is £5.
Appointment of trustees
Members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the Board of Trustees following a recruitment process of application and interview. Trustees are all company directors for the purposes of company law. Members of the Board of Trustees elect from amongst their own number a chair, and treasurer.
Induction and training of trustees
Members of the Board of Trustees receive an induction covering key areas of governance, finance, services, quality and people. Key documents are supplied to each trustee. Ongoing training is offered to support individual trustees as required.
Organisation
The charity is governed by the Board of Trustees who meet approximately six times per annum. The Chief Executive has day to day responsibility for the operations of the charity.
There are sub-committees of trustees and staff which meet as required to review priority areas.
Training and development continue to be a priority. Mandatory training takes place in house for care staff. All direct care staff are required to have at least NVQ level 2 and are encouraged to do NVQ level 3 training. Staff who are recruited to the care service without a background in care are required to complete the Care Certificate which covers all induction standards required to provide personal care. Managers are required to have NVQ 4, or to work towards this standard.
The Board of Trustees recognises and values the support of both its staff and volunteers.
Relationships with other charities and organisations
The charity is a network partner of Carers Trust, the largest UK wide carers charity, which works with networks partners across the UK to provide hands on practical support to carers in their communities. The charity works within a national Carers Trust framework of policies, procedures and guidance.
Carers Trust Tyne & Wear works in partnership with statutory bodies and other grant and trust making bodies such as Gateshead Council, North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, Community Foundation, BBC Children in Need, Sir James Knott Trust and Ballinger Trust.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Structure, governance and management (continued)
The charity is also committed to close collaboration with other agencies to provide direct services and to campaign and advocate for continued community development for carers and vulnerable people.
Risk management
The Board of Trustees actively reviews the potential risks faced by the charity and the systems that have been established to mitigate those risks. This includes the establishment of a risk register, which is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board of Trustees. In October 2023 the charity was assessed and has maintained compliance with the ISO9001 quality mark. The Charity also has a cyber essential certificate for holding data.
Carers Trust Tyne & Wear operates within a quality assurance framework and complies with standards of care described in the National Care Standards Regulations. It is a registered provider with the Care Quality Commission, and in the most recent inspection in March 2020 was assessed as overall “Good” in all five areas that were inspected. The charity has since been reviewed and deemed not needing to be inspected.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a long time to recover from. We must work hard to recover services within the care service as the majority of them were cancelled, some clients have never felt comfortable enough to have staff back in. Office based staff are now mainly working back in the office but have the flexibility to work from home where appropriate for part of the week.
Objectives and activities
Carers Trust Tyne & Wear aims to relieve the stresses experienced by carers, the person with care needs and their families. The area of benefit is the Borough of Gateshead, Tyne & Wear and surrounding areas.
The charity is committed to providing services which are of high quality, by well qualified and managed staff in a manner which is specific to the needs of carers and provided in a responsive, flexible and timely manner. This is achieved through the provision of a Care Service and Young Carers Service. A key overall aim is to improve the lives of carers.
In setting the objectives for the year and planning the charity’s activities, the Board of Trustees has considered the Charities Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
Care Service
The Care Service delivered 35,194 hours of care in the home and community to the end of March 2024 which is an increase of 2,943 hours from last year. Recruitment continues to be an issue especially with our aging workforce. We did recruit several new staff in early 2023 and have been able to increase hours of care. The Care Service continues to deliver a much-needed service to unpaid family carers so they can have a break from their caring role.
The Care Service has begun to host coffee mornings and have a pop up charity shop on site, in order to raise funds and our profile with the local community. Staff volunteer to work in this on a monthly basis. This year saw the establishment of day centres on two days per week, for people with early onset dementia so their carer can have a longer break whilst we take care of the person with dementia in our day centre.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Achievements and performance (continued)
Young Carers Service
This year the Young Carers Service has seen a steady rise in referrals for support. In total we have received 178 referrals and completed 136 Young Carers Assessments, for newly referred young carers. In addition, we have re-assessed the needs of 372 young carers. We currently offer support to approximately 530 young carers.
Funding that we have received from various grant making trusts, and through donations and our own fundraising activities, has enabled us to deliver 116 activity sessions for young carers. These sessions have ranged from 1-2-1 therapeutic support sessions through to large residential group activities. In partnership with NE Counselling Services, we have delivered 54 hours of counselling to young carers.
Our work in partnership with Gateshead schools and colleges has expanded this year. We have delivered 49 drop-in sessions in 7 secondary schools and 14 full-school assemblies in local primary schools. In partnership with Gateshead College, we delivered 10 weekly homework and revision sessions to young carers who needed support to get exam ready.
In this period, we received and processed 251 Wellbeing Fund Applications, which helped young carers to purchase items including sports equipment and mobile phones. Through access to a local funder, we were also able to support the access to further education of 5 young carers, who faced financial barriers.
A total of 867 activity news sheets were sent to the young carers this year and 275 activity packs were sent to new referrals and young carers under the age of 8.
Financial review
The principal funding sources for the charity are contract income, spot purchase from Gateshead Council, individual carers and grants from charitable trusts.
Overall, income levels have increased compared to last year and resulted in a surplus for the year of £3,935 (2023: deficit of £104,272) as shown in the statement of financial activities on page 7.
Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees has established a policy whereby the charity holds unrestricted income funds not invested in tangible fixed assets in a General Fund as reserves. The trustees consider that the minimum level of the reserves should be equivalent to two months’ operating costs, which is approximately £166,000.
Reserves are needed to provide financial stability, to allow the charity to meet existing commitments not covered by future income and to enable the charity to take advantage of development opportunities in advance of available funding.
At the balance sheet date, the level of reserves stood at £131,150 (2023: £113,857). The trustees have reviewed both the reserves policy and the actual level of reserves at 31 March 2024. They have noted the position at the balance sheet date and are taking steps to secure the charity’s financial position in the light of the continuing challenges being experienced.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Plans for future periods
The Young Carers Service will continue to be busy in 2024. In the coming year we are hoping to further expand the services that we offer, to include a young carers’ counselling service, which will be delivered in partnership with NE Counselling, and access to private tuition for young carers who struggle to prepare for their exams, due to their caring responsibilities. For 2024 into 2025, due to a procurement exercise, the focus of the Young Carers Service will be activity based – we have some funding to provide some fitness activities and will be seeking further funding to enhance this service in the future.
The Care Service plans to do more training for carer support workers in line with new CQC regulations (mandatory training now includes Autism and Learning Disabilities). More support workers are still required especially in the East of the borough, so recruitment will be a focus for the coming year. Also the Care Service will be aiming to deliver more hours of care, develop the coffee mornings, and try to get additional funding to continue the day centre as people are asking for this service.
As an organisation we will be participating and contributing to the development of a Gateshead Carers Strategy and will be working with partners to develop a bid for work with the Innovate UK research project. We will continue to recruit new trustees to the board. We will continue to seek opportunities for income generation including grants and more care hours to deliver.
Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees in relation to the financial statements
The trustees (who are also the directors of Carers Trust Tyne & Wear for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the report of the Board of Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Board of Trustees is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CARERS TRUST TYNE & WEAR
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
Responsibilities and basis of report
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
As the charity’s trustees (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the Act 2006’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the ‘2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s report
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
-
3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. Legal status of the charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of it being wound up, the maximum liability of each member is £5.
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost unless otherwise stated. They 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Carers Trust Tyne & Wear meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional and presentation currency of the charity.
(b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity has reviewed its future budget forecasts and there is a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and on this basis, the trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
(c) Fund structure
The charity has a number of sources of restricted income where funds have been given for a specific purpose and further details are provided in note 10 to the financial statements. Expenditure which meets the specific criteria for each fund is charged to that fund.
All other funds are unrestricted income funds.
(d) Income recognition
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Contract funding and grants are treated as deferred income where:
• received in advance of the period in which they must be used; or
- entitlement is subject to specific performance conditions which have not been fulfilled at the balance sheet date.
Donated services and facilities are recognised in income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item has been met, the receipt of the economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity 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.
(e) Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which can not be recovered.
Costs of expenditure on raising funds comprise the costs incurred in raising income from grants and donations, together with expenditure on fundraising activities.
Governance costs include those costs incurred in connection with compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and costs associated with the strategic management of the charity.
Support costs include central services and are allocated to cost categories on the basis of staff time spent.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2. Accounting policies ( continued )
(f) Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives as follows:
Leasehold property - straight line over the lease period Furniture and fittings - 15% per annum straight line Office equipment - 25% per annum straight line
(g) Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes two current accounts, both of which are instant access.
(h) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
(i) Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised using the accrual model.
Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which they become receivable.
(j) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial instruments and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
(k) Pension costs
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution scheme. The charity contribution in the year is disclosed in note 5. The charity has no liability beyond making its contribution and paying across the deductions for employees' contributions.
