POUCIES AND OBJECTIVES Our overall aim was to create a community wherecar&rs oftoday and tomorrow are fully rewnised, valu8d. and support8d and have what they neèd lo stay wéll, In control and feel connected. A carer Is someone, who, wrlhout payment. provides help and support to a partner, child, r8lallve, friend or neighbour. who could not manage without their help. This could be due to age. physical or mental illness, addictlon. or disabilty. Taking on a caring rol8 can mean tscing a life of poverty, isolation, frustration, ill health, and depr8ssion. Many ¢arèrs also work outsid8 the home, tying to Juggle jobs with their Caring responsibilities. A signlflcant number of worklng car8rs are forced to give up their income, future employment prospects and pension rrghts to berne carers. Most carers struggle alone and are unaware that help is available to them. They tell us that a¢¢es$ to infomation, advice, financlal SUPPOT¢ and breaks are vitsl in managing the impact of caring C thelr lives. Our charitable purposes were as set out in the Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation. Our organisation provided benefit 10 th8 publlc wilh the servlces that we offer. STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTNES During this year, we continued with our 2018-24 strategy. We have referred to the guidance contain&l in the Charity Commission s g8neral guldance on Publ benefit when settlng our strategy and our future activities.
