TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Board of Trustees is pleased to present its report together with the unaudited financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025 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 Practi￿ applicable to charities preparing
their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102).
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
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 SeNice. 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
a. Care Service
The Care Service delivered 34,101 hours of care in the home and community to the end of March 2025 which is
a slight decrease in hours from last year. This was due to the winding down of the Carer Relief SeNice which
was not recommissioned by Gateshead Council. We managed to recruit several new staff in early 2024 and
have since 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 SeNice has continued to host coffee momings and quarterty jumble sales, in order to raise funds and
our profile with the local community. Staff continue to volunteer to work in this. The day centre for clients with
dementia continues to run successfully, which allows their carer to have a longer break whilst we take care of the
person with dementia in our day centre.

Achievements and performance (continued)
b. Young Carers Service
This year unfortunately the Young Carers se￿1￿ contract was retendered by Gateshead Council and awarded
to another provider. We offered support from April to August to approximately 550 young carers.
Funding that we have received from various grant making trusts. through donations and our own fundraising
activities, enabled us to deliver various activity sessions for young carers. These sessions ranged from 1-2-1
therapeutic support sessions through to large residential group activities. In partnership with NE Counselling
Services, we have delivered 98 hours of counselling to young carers.
Our work in partnership with Gateshead schools and colleges continued this year, delivering drop-in sessions at
secondary schools and full-school assemblies in local primary schools. In partnership with Gateshead College,
we delivered some weekly homework and revision sessions to young carers who needed support to get exam
ready. Feedback from young carers proved this was a success and was very beneficial to the young carers, who
said they received higher grades than they expected.
In this period, we received and processed 78 Wellbeing Fund Applications, which helped young carers to
complete vocational courses. purchase items including sports equipment, laptops and mobile phones. Through
access to a local funder, we were also able to support the aC￿sS to further education for young carers, who
faced financial barriers.
A total of 720 activity news sheets were sent to the young carers this year. We continued to provide activity
packs to new referrals and young carers under the age of 8.
During the reporting period we managed to secure a 3 year grant from The Big Lottery Fund for a Fit & Free
project worth £145,246. This is to deliver sporting activities for young carers in the Gateshead area, which we
began a recruitment campaign for at the end of 2024.
Financial review
a. Results
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 decreased compared to last year and resulted in a deficit for the year of £45,097
(2024.. surplus of £3,935) as shown in the statement of financial activities on page 9.
b. Going concem
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they
continue to adopt the going concem basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the
adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
c. 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 months, operating costs. which is approximately £157,000.
Reserves are needed to provide financial stsbility. 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 £166.601 (2024.. £131,150). The trustees have
reviewed both the reserves policy and the actual level of reseNes at 31 March 2025. 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.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
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.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
e. Relationships with other charities and organisations
The charity is a ne￿Ork partner of Carers Trust. the largest UK wide carers charity, which works with ne￿Ork
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. prO￿dureS 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.
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.
Plans for future periods
Although we no longer have a contract with the local authority to deliver Young Carers Services we are
developing an activity programme for the young carers which is funded by the Big Lottery. We are currently
recruiting a worker to run the project, Fit and Free which is funded by the Big Lottery Community Fund. In the
coming year we will begin offering acts'vities for young carers and we will be seeking further funding to enhance
this offer in the future.
The Care SeNice plans to do more training for carer support workers in line with new CQC regulations
(mandatory training now includes Autism and Leaming 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 Se￿1
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. We also aim to open a new day centre which will
be aimed at adults with leaming disabilities.
We will continue to seek opportunities for income generats-on including grants and increased target of care hours
to deliver.
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 2024 the charity was re-assessed and has maintained
compliance with the IS09001 quality mark. The Charity also has NHS Toolkit and cyber essential certificate for
holding data. We also hold certification with CHAS.
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.
We must continue to work hard to enhance the seNices we offer within the organisation's services.
